The guy is my friend. I owe him this much.
Chase: It's a good idea.
Ariel: But won't he be around all the time? He'll get more suspicious.
Chase: We could tell him.
Ariel: Uh…
Chase: What's he gonna do?
Ariel: I don't think he owns a gun, but he might.
Chase: He's a levelheaded guy.
Ariel: So are you.
Chase: And?
Ariel: And I remember what you and Grace were like.
We fought all the time. Loud, screaming fights where we tore each other apart.
At first, I thought it was her.
But it takes two to tango. As Mom used to say. Before she gave up on advice entirely.
Chase: What are you going to tell him?
Ariel: When I'm pregnant?
Chase: Yeah. You can't tell him it was Phillip.
Ariel: That's true.
Chase: Have you thought that far?
Ariel: I will tell him something.
Chase: He should know.
Ariel: Okay, he should know. If it happens.
Chase: It's going to happen.
Ariel: You have no proof of that.
Chase: Should I come over right now? Fuck you senseless?
Ariel: Yeah, but I have back-to-back classes.
Chase: You have an office?
Ariel: I wish.
Chase: Fuck you in an empty classroom then. I always wanted to do a naughty teacher.
Ariel: Wouldn't the teacher be the one doing the punishing?
