Mack
He's kinda lonely, but he seems peaceful about it.

That would be nice.

Demanding Acknowledgment in a Relationship
Dee
You've denied me in every way you can. Everything I've wanted, you've denied me.
Mack
I've been honest all along. Even that night.
Dee
Who gives a shit? Don't you see what you do? Even now, you wanna deny me what's rightfully mine.
Mack
Which is?
Dee
To resent the hell outta you. To feel totally rejected and hated. To hate you for doing it to me. There are good men out there who are gonna treat me like I'm the very thing they want. And then you do that thing with Jane.
Mack
What?
Dee
You know, with that guy, that tow-truck guy.
Mack
What about it? What's that got to do with anything?
Dee
You don't even know, do you? You don't even know why that hurts me so much. Jane's in love. She thinks this could be the one.
Mack
Is that bad? I thought she was your friend.
Dee
She is my friend. I'm very happy for her, but it makes me feel like shit... that you're out there finding her the love of her life and I'm here like what? I'm here like shit. How do you think that's gonna make me feel?
Mack
Dee, I understand you're angry with me, but why would...?
Dee
Forget it. It doesn't have to make sense.
