[hostage]

[Ouch...]

I told you why. She makes her own choices.

[inthejunk]

[HAH.]

Seriously, don't say it like that! It was special, you know? It was nice.

[hostage]

Good for you.

[inthejunk]

[Sigh.]

It was an accident. At first, I mean. But-

Well. I always knew she was with you. I just thought...look, she still lives there so I guess you have the upper hand. But-but I'm not going anywhere. So. You needed to know that.

[hostage]

No I didn't.

[inthejunk]

Most people would have cared! I was just doing the right thing.

[You know, because the right thing couldn't have possibly been done in any other way. Nope. Only like this.]

[hostage]

Look. I don't wanna hear about you sticking it to my girlfriend. I don't care. Got it? Do whatever you guys want.

[inthejunk]

So you do care.

[That's more like it! Though oddly, he's not as smug now that he knows it's not going to be a throwdown. What's the point? Actually, if someone didn't know better, that would totally make him come off like a dick, here. Good thing you know the whole story.]

Uh...well. I won't mention it again, now that you know.

[Except during future arguments.]

[hostage]

No - Hey, hold on a second, bitch. I said I don't care and I mean it. Me and Lisbeth don't have rules. That don't mean I wanna compare notes with your prepubescent ass, okay? Nobody disrespects her like that around me. She is not your fucking thing to go around town bragging about. And this whole fight me for her bullshit is just... You know, seriously, screw you.

[inthejunk]

What do you mean disrespect? You're the one who kept dropping the f-bomb! And we can't both date her! Of course I'm going to try my best!

[hostage]

Dating? Who the hell said anything about dating?

[inthejunk]

What did you think this was about?

[hostage]

Uh, sex?

[inthejunk]

Uh! W-well yeah, once. But that's...why would I, you know, go to that trouble if I didn't want to be with her? I called you out! And you have to admit you're not a very stable guy. Like I said, it was special. Lisbeth-San is special to me.

[hostage]

So - what, did she say she loves you? Huh?

[inthejunk]

Of course not. You can't rush that kind of thing. I'd have to give her a reason to say that, right? But like I said, I'm not going anywhere. There's plenty of time.

[hostage]

I think you got the wrong idea about her.

[inthejunk]

Look, I know you've been together longer but it's obvious she has feelings for me! There were plenty of guys with two good arms in that bar to choose from. If she chooses you I won't get in the way of her happiness. But it won't matter anyway, not if I can show her I'm the better choice.

[hostage]

Forget about me, yo. You better talk to her about this shit, 'cause you sound pretty mixed up right now.

[inthejunk]

I'm not mixed up at all. I'm sure about this. Besides, I can't rush her. Lisbeth-San is the kind of girl who needs a tender approach, I think. She's a little shy...mostly.

[hostage]

Jesus Christ... This is why you never screw a virgin.

[inthejunk]

[A weird, strangled sound.]

Hey! I am not!

[...Anymore.]

[hostage]

Yeah. I got that. Since you fucked my girlfriend.

Anyway, if you won't talk to Lisbeth, I will. Ain't right for her to lead you on, even if it's none of my business. You're a goddamn teenager.

[inthejunk]

I'm an adult. We've been over this like twice already.

[hostage]

...Which makes us almost ten years older than you.

Look, man, I get it. You fuck a hot older woman and you think you're gonna fall in love and get married and start a family. But I'm gonna tell it to you straight 'cause I don't like you being confused and getting all hurt about it:

Lisbeth ain't the settling type. When she fucks you, all it means is she's fucking you. When she's living with you, all it means is she's living with you. And if she ain't told you she loves you, then she probably don't love you. You don't even gotta take my word for it. Ask her.
