Confronting Fears and Misunderstandings in Relationships
Skylar
Well, what aren't you scared of? You live in this safe little world where no one challenges you and you're scared shitless to do anything else but defend yourself because that would mean you'd hafta change.
Will
Oh no. Don't, don't, don't tell me about my world. Don't tell me about my world! I mean you just wanna have your fling with like the guy from the other side of town. Then you're going to go off to Stanford, you're going to marry some rich prick who your parents will approve of and just sit around with the other trust fund babies and talk about how you went slumming too, once.
Skylar
Why are you saying this? What is your obsession with this money? My father died when I was 13 and I inherited this money. You don't think that every day I wake up and wish I could give it back? That I would give it back in a second if I could have one more day with him? But I can't, and that's my life and I deal with it. So don't put your shit on me when you're the one that's afraid.
Will
I'm afraid? What am I afraid of? What the fuck am I afraid of?
Skylar
You're afraid of me! You're afraid that I won't love you back! Fuck it, I wanna give it a shot! At least I'm honest with you.
Will
I'm not honest with you?
Skylar
No, what about your twelve brothers?
Will
All right.
Skylar
No. You're not going. You're not leaving.
Will
What do you want to know?! What?! That I don't have twelve brothers?!
Skylar
Yes.
Will
That I'm a fuckin orphan?!
Skylar
Ye-
Will
No, you don't wanna hear that!
Skylar
I didn't know that.
Will
No, you don't wanna hear that.
Skylar
I didn't know it.
Will
You don't wanna hear that I had fuckin cigarettes put out on me when I was a little kid.
Skylar
Oh...I didn't know that...
[crying]
Will
That this isn't fuckin surgery, that some motherfucker stabbed me. You don't wanna hear that shit, Skylar.
Skylar
I do wanna hear it.
Will
Don't tell me you want to hear that shit!
Skylar
I want to hear it because I want to help you. Because I want to--
Will
Help me?! What the fuck?! What I got a fucking sign on my back that says "save me?!
Skylar
No.
Will
Do I look like I need that?!
Skylar
No. God, I just want to be with you because I love you!
Will
Don't bullshit me. Don't bullshit me. Don't you fuckin bullshit me!
Skylar
I love you. I wanna hear you say that you don't love me. Because if you say that, then I won't call you, and I won't be in your life...
Will
I don't love you.
