Louie(MC)
(voice trembling):
"You said I was different...."
Dani(Louie's ex-bf)
(shrugging) :
"You're different, alright. Broken, Sad, Possessive. That's exhausting."
Louie(MC)
"I just wanted something real."
Dani(Louie's ex-bf)
"Real? Babe, you cry when someone looks away for too long. That's not love, that's obsession."
