“I may be a slut, but I'm a slut who is growing a conscience.”
Theresa Rebeck

“Georgie: I feel stupid.

Andrew: What are you talking about, you feel stupid? You just walked in here and insulted me for ten minutes.

Georgie: That was different. I was mad.

Andrew: You have to be mad to talk?

Georgie: No, come on—I don't know—

Andrew: I could make you mad.

Georgie: No, you couldn't. You're too nice.

Andrew: Fuck you.

Georgie: —Andrew—

Andrew: Fuck you. Come on. Fuck you.

Georgie: Yeah, fuck you too.

Andrew: Fuck you.

Georige: Fuck you.

Andrew: Fuck you.

Georgie: You look really stupid saying fuck you—

Andrew: Fuck you. Fuck you! Fuck you.

Georgie: Andrew, stop it. Cut it out. It sounds weird when you say it. You shouldn't talk like that.

Andrew: You talk like that all the time!
Georgie: I'm different. I mean, I know how to swear. You don't. It's like, fuck you. Fuck you. Or, you know, fuck you. It's just—you know. You got to know how to say it.

Andrew: Fuck you.

Georgie: Forget it. You look really stupid. You look the way I look when I try to talk like you.

Andrew: You've tried it? Really? I must have missed that day.

Georgie: Oh, fuck you.”
Theresa Rebeck, Spike Heels
