Confronting Betrayal and Responsibility
Alex Forrest
Hello, Dan. Are you surprised? This is what you’ve reduced me to. I guess you thought you'd get away with it. Well... you can't. Cause part of you is growing inside of me, and that's a fact, Dan. You'd better start... learning how to deal with it. ‘Cause, you know, I... I feel you. I taste you. I think you. I touch you. Can you understand? Can you? I'm just... asking you... to acknowledge your responsibilities. Is that so bad? I-I-I don't think so. I mean, I don't think it's unreasonable. And... you know, another thing... is that you thought you could just walk into my life, and turn it upside down, without a thought for anyone but yourself. You know what you are, Dan? You are a cock-sucking son of a bitch. I hate you. I bet you don't even like real girls, do you? Ha! You disappoint me, you fucking faggot!

Confrontation and Betrayal in Relationships

You thought you could just walk into my life without a thought for anybody but yourself. You know what you are, Dan? You’re a cock-sucking fucking son of a bitch. You are. I bet you don’t even like girls, do you? They probably scare you. Well, I know I do. So you’re scared of me, aren’t you? You’re fucking frightened of me, huh? You’re afraid. You’re afraid, aren’t you? You gutless, heartless, spineless bastard. I hate you. You deserve everything you get!

Confrontation of Jealousy and Attraction
Alex Forrest
What are you doing here? Why are you here? He tried...to say goodbye to me last night. But he couldn't because...he and I feel the same way about each other. Do you know how it is when you meet somebody for the first time? And you get this instant attraction. And don't you think I understand what you're doing? You're trying to move him into the country...and you're keeping him away from me. And you're playing happy family. Aren't you? You wouldn't understand that because you're so...so selfish. He told me about you. He told me about you. He was very honest. If you weren't so stupid, you'd know that. But you're so stupid. You're so stupid! You're a stupid, selfish bitch!
