1--hello?
  
2--hello, kae, this is ---.
  
1--oh, hi ---.. how are you?..
  
2--look, i'm glad we talked earlier. obviously, you'd had some things on your mind that you needed to share with me--
  
1--yes..
  
2--and i needed to hear it, boy, did i ever.. i'd never realized before what a basketcase i've been.. girls, when they broke up with me, would just do it fast--so abruptly--often through email--and usually they'd just say that they'd started getting serious with someone else and wanted to settle down and that was that. i wonder now if they hadn't been telling me the whole story..
  
1--oh, really?..
  
2--yeah, because now that you've pointed it out, i can see that my possesive behaviour, my jealousy, my anger, my secrecy--all these things--i can see that they've been patterns in my relationships for a long time now..
  
1--really.. wow..
  
2--yeah, i know.. crazy, isn't it? and unfortunate, that no one else cared enough to try to help me help myself by pointing out how i drive people away. no wonder i'm 41 and alone..
  
1--oh, ---, don't say that..
  
2--no--it's true, its absolutely true. and i just want to thank you--that's why i called you back--(sorry about saying "fuck you" before on the phone and asking for my curious george hat back--sorry about that--you can actually keep it--i said some things i didn't mean in the heat of the moment, there)--but no, really--i want to THANK you. our time together has been really special.
  
1--for me, too--really, i--
  
2--thank you, kae, for all you've given me. i think you're a great girl. and a great lay. and did i mention, superfine?
  
1--aw, ---..
  
2--well, toots, i'll miss ya. take care of yourself. i know you'll find someone else to love you in no time flat. as for me, wish me well, will ya? don't forget me? and all the fun we've had?
  
1--no, never, ---..
  
2--i'm gonna hang up the phone before i have to hear you say goodbye, okay? ready? three, two one--
