REGINA:

What do you think, your shit doesn’t stink? (beat) Answer me…You think your Mr. High and Mighty and you aren’t. You know what you are? I’ll tell you. You are an insecure person. You have issues. You contradict yourself constantly. What’s sad about you, is that you can be the coolest person ever. You have potential to be so wonderful but instead you get stuck on your weird way of thinking.

No, let me speak. I listened to you, now you are going to hear what I have to say. You’re controlling. You’re a mind manipulator. You are great at turning things around and making yourself look right. You know how to play the victim. You have a terrible temper. You think who you are, you think, you think no one is more dominant than you are. All those things don’t make you a real well rounded individual.

Get into a hobby or something. Find happiness. I think you are the way you are because of how you were raised by your parents. I also think you are too closed minded. If you would just open yourself up a little, just a crack, you may find out so much about yourself. I guarantee you will be able to resovle whatever demons live in you and you will begin to be a happier person. Happy for real, not the show you put on, but the realness of what it means to be happy. Shhh, listen, please. Either you start making changes or you go to therapy or I will simply leave you. I cannot be with someone who will not work on who they are. If you don’t, it will kill us.
