TRIP Do you really want the truth? Huh? TRIP Sergio, do you want to hear it? TRIP Grace? GRACE Yes...! TRIP Sergio, say something! SERGIO ... TRIP No, Sergio, just, yes or no, do you want to hear the truth? SERGIO ... TRIP Sergio, see I've actually been paying close attention to what you've been saying. SERGIO ? TRIP You've been pushing me tonight. TRIP And I wonder, are you really my friend or not. GRACE Trip! TRIP Sergio, Quit interrupting me, let me speak! TRIP Sergio, come on -- yes or no... SERGIO ? TRIP Do you really think that... TRIP and you don't even say 'yes' when I ask you if you want the truth... TRIP that I'm supposed to realize something about myself from all that? TRIP Is all of that arguing intended to mean something, or... TRIP Is it? Just give me a yes or no. -- (interrupted) SERGIO ??????? TRIP No, Sergio, I just want a yes or no. TRIP No? Huh...

TRIP Come on, Sergio, the evening's over... there's nothing else to say, heh... GRACE Look, we're glad you came over, but why don't you just go now. (SERGIO gets up from the couch.) (Trip opens the front door.) TRIP Alright, so, um, we'll, we'll, we'll -- we'll see you, at some point, stay in touch, alright?
