Would you have responded?
MILAN
No.
(Gesturing to her two-person kitchen table)
Would you sit down? You’re stressing me out.
CAT sits but keeps her coat on.
CAT
(Pauses)
I shouldn’t have said what I said. It was mean.
MILAN
What I said was mean too. I was mad, I wasn’t thinking.
CAT
No, same. I’m sorry.
MILAN
(Long pause. Thinking, thinking, thinking.)
I hate when we fight.
MILAN pulls a blanket from her bed and wraps herself in it. Imagine: a child pretending to be a superhero. It flaps behind her as she slumps in the seat opposite from CAT.
CAT
I still love you, you know.
MILAN
I still love you too, you hoe.
CAT
(Pauses)
Please don’t quit the play.
MILAN
(As if Cat hasn’t spoken)
Ryen wants me to be in his film. It’s his first feature-length. It’s kind of a big deal.
CAT
(Irritated)
Why can’t you do both?
