Sample:

A friend of yours?

Yes.

You were expecting his call?

No. I mean, I told him not to.

But he knew where you'd be.

So what.

So he's a close friend.

He's my boyfriend, ok?

Ah, boyfriend. Does boyfriend have a name?

Richard. Rich.

And you've been seeing him how long?

A while.

I'm sure you meant to tell me.

I did. I just didn't think we would be so intimate so soon.

You mean you and him.

Yes.

How intimate are you?

Pretty much totally.

I see.

There's another thing.

I can't wait.

He's a reporter.

A reporter?

A television reporter.

Jesus, Annie.

He wanted to interview me about dad.

Uh huh.

It didn't end up happening. Something else happened.

Something else, yes.
