SONNY: You can leave anytime.

Carly: I’m being excused?

Sonny: You didn’t need my guidance to the bedroom. You don’t need me to show you the door.

. Carly: Oh, that’s your take, huh? This is all on me, huh?

Sonny: There are no innocents here. You know, people like us, we light a match, the whole house burns

Carly: I need a shower.

Sonny: Shower won’t help.

Carly: You telling me no, or are you just insulting me?

Sonny: You could scrub yourself raw. It’s not going to change anything. The dirty towel you use, just drop it on the floor.

Carly: Where you going?

Sonny: Does it matter? I need a drink.

Jason: Sonny.

Sonny: What happened? Never mind. Forget the specifics. Did the meeting go down tongiht?

Jason: No. The meeting went wrong.

Sonny: Well, I guess things played out exactly the way they were supposed to.

Carly: Sonny, I can’t find the clean towels. I’m not about to use your...

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Carly: Jase...Jason, Jason. Don’t go! Please, don’t go! Let me...get y our hands off me, you bastard!

Sonny: Get back here and shut up!

Carly: You set me up! You planned this, didn’t you? You wanted him to find me...

Sonny: Don’t flatter yourself. You’re a whore!

Carly: You know he would walk in here. You knew it.Y

Sonny: You served yourself on a silver platter.

Carly: You can’t just let him leave. What’s the matter with you?

Sonny: As far as I’m concerned it’s about time, Carly.

Carly: Go to hell! To hell with you.

Sonny: Don’t you get it? That’s where we both belong! Carly: No. Uh-uh. I’m not going to let you do this, Sonny.

Sonny: Oh, well, wake up Sweetheart. It’s already done.

Carly: No. Jason loves me. And I can make him understand.

Sonny: Well, he understands now. It’s not too complicated. His woman slept with his best friend.

Carly: You’re not anybody’s friend! Do you understand? You are sick! You are twisted!

Sonny: That’s almost funny coming from you.

Carly: Please. If you gave a dame about that boy, you wouldn’t let him walk out of here, the pain in his eyes, and not say a word to him.

Sonny: You said it all yourself, galloping downstairs buck naked under my shirt. He knows who you are now. Do you? Huh?

Carly: Hmm.

Carly: I changed the sheets and the towels. Everything’s exactly the way it was before this. This never happened. It never happened. Do you understand? Nobody knows, except for the three of us. So we erase it from our minds and Jason won’t say anything. There’s no love lost between us, is there, I guess. But you know, Jason loves us and we love him. I mean it doesn’t matter how crazy we get, how screwed up we are. He understands that about us and...and he’ll forgive us. I know that he will. He’s just going to be hurt for a long time, but he’ll...he’ll get over it. Just going to have to trust me on that, aren’t you, Sonny?

Sonny: Why should he?

Carly: Because he needs us, just like we need him.

Sonny: That may have been true an hour ago, but it’s not true anymore. Oh. There’s no reason in hell for Jason to give us the time of day. You’re a two-bit tramp. And I’m worse than you are...a trap door that leads to a black hole. Jason needs us like a heart attack.

Carly: That’s fine.

Sonny: Kid yourself, sweetheart. But dont’ try to kid me.

Carly: Whatever. You know what? Sonny, if you want it to stay like this with Jason, that’s your choice. But I’m...I’m going to turn this thing around.

Sonny: All right. I got...I got money in my drawer. If you want to make it official, go right ahead.

Carly: You better keep your money because you’re going to need it. It’s all you got. You’re right. You are worse than me. You’re the lowest.
