Jared: You saved my life.

Alexis: Well, anyone can make a mistake.

Alexis: Making my way downtown, walking fast.

Jared: Alexis?

Alexis: *Walking faster*

[walter-sawamura]

Jared: I am very disappointed in you.

Alexis: Your approval means nothing to me.

[walter-sawamura]

Alexis: At my age, do you know how I’m statistically most likely to die?

Jared: By the hands of your boyfriend?

Alexis: An accident.

Jared: That’s how I’m going to make it look.

[walter-sawamura]

Jared: This is not some simple task like, say, riding a bike, cracking an egg or committing premeditated murder.

Alexis: Wait, What was that last one?

Jared: ...cracking an egg.

[walter-sawamura]

Jared: (with his back turned) You’ve been avoiding me, Alexis.

Alexis: How did you know it was me without turning around?

Jared: To be honest, the first few people I did that to were not you.

[a-salting-the-world]

Jared: Be the bigger person.

Alexis: No. I'm five feet tall and bitter. YOU be the bigger person.

"Jared," I said.

He turned to me, a question in his eyes.

Blow up the kitchen.

I yanked my hand out of his grip.

And I pushed him. Hard.
