Bishop:

Are you telling me it doesn’t hurt?

Mac:

It does, but I can’t make people talk to me or be nice to me. It’s their prerogative.

Mac:

I’ve learned that you can’t make people love you—not even your family.

Bishop:

It’s a hard lesson.

Mac:

You’ve experienced the same?

Bishop:

Not with my family, but with someone I fell in love with.

Mac:

Oh, someone broke your heart? I had no idea. Is that why you’re single? Was it the one who left for LA?

Bishop:

I fell, she didn’t, and no, it was someone different.

Mac:

Sorry to hear that. Are you still in love with her?

Bishop:

Why would you ask?

Mac:

Well, I’m still thinking about your job offer, but if you’re in love with someone, I don’t see the point.

Bishop:

You’re interested in the position?

Mac:

Is it available?

Bishop:

Only for you.
