Tim and Den

Den:
You gonna be home tonight?
I haven't seen you since the premiere

Tim:
I don't think so
Some guys want to go out tonight
and it could mean another job opportunity

Den:
How about tomorrow?

Tim:
I have an audition, pretty
major

Den:
You never mentioned it

Tim:
I guess a lot has happened in a
week

Den:
What are you talking about?

Tim:
Since the premiere? The last
time we really got to talk?

Den:
Timothée, what the hell? Please tell
me you're kidding right now.

Tim:
Just tell me what's wrong, Arden
I obviously don't know

Den:
It's been a MONTH
It's nearly August!

Tim:
That's what I meant to say
Sorry we'll do something soon I promise
As soon as I get back from LA

Den:
Timothée, how many times
have you gone out for a drink
with these 'guys'? I know you
didn't mean to say a month, you
thought it had only been about
a week
And when the hell are you
going to Los Angeles?

Tim:
Will you chill out?
I'm leaving on Saturday, two days

Den:
I cannot believe you right now

Tim:
Fine, I'll cancel
Is that what you want to
hear, Arden?

Den:
No
I do not want to hear anything
I just want you to act like I'm
someone you care about and like
I'm your girlfriend

Tim:
What do you want me to do, Arden?
This is our life, okay?
We're always going to be busy and we're always going to traveling
I thought you of all people, having grown up in this, would understand when I'm busy and when I'm doing stuff to make sure I have a future
I love you, Arden, so don't get
in the way of our livelihoods

Den:
Don't do that
Don't play the 'I love you' card
all of a sudden and act like just
because we're actors that we can't
have a real relationship, because
that's bullshit
Go get drunk with your buddies
for all I care, but don't text me
with that ever again
