Yeah, I'm happy for him, too. Really. But can we quit harping on it already? I was jetlagged. It happens. I'm still proud of him. I came back from overseas for him. Also I was in the film there for maybe three minutes, you can calm down any time now. Yes, I'm glad they haven't forgotten me. No, this certainly doesn't promise that I'll get another movie anytime soon.

...oh.

[ As mild as he can manage. Being pleased would be a dick thing to do, right? She deserves happiness. That's one thing he can't provide. ]

[cytologist]

Yeah. [She shrugs, letting out a breath] We just... had problems, and after he sold you out to my dad that kind of highlighted things for me.

[ Thanks, Leonard, for screwing yourself over. ]

I'm sorry.

[cytologist]

It's... it's fine. That was a while ago, anyway.

Besides, he always knew things wouldn't work out, in the long run. I was just a little too hung up on someone else to really let him in the way he wanted to be.

[lastincident]

I didn't-- I didn't want to-- do that to you, Betty. I hope you know that.

[cytologist]

[Wryly] What, you think I mean you?

[lastincident]

Well, it would stand to reason...

[cytologist]

I could have met someone in-between when you left and I started dating Leonard. [She tries to sound offended, but really, it's more embarrassed. Her love life literally does boil down to just two guys.]

But then again, maybe not.
