BETTY SUE: Won’t you just look at that sky! It’s like a dream out here at night.
DUNSTON: Hey, can I ask you somethin’? You know, without you gettin’ all defensive and stuff.
BETTY SUE: Go right ahead.
DUNSTON: It’s been bothering me ever since I last saw you in Colorado.
BETTY SUE: Me, too.
DUNSTON: What’s that?
BETTY SUE: Ask your question.
DUNSTON: Why’d you never say goodbye?
BETTY SUE: I don’t like goodbyes.
DUNSTON: But why didn’t you…(he stares at Betty Sue) forget it, forget it…maybe it’s best I don’t say it.
BETTY SUE: I never wanted to leave you, Dunston.
DUNSTON: But you did.
BETTY SUE: I know I did.
DUNSTON: Why?
BETTY SUE: We talked about it already.
DUNSTON: When??
BETTY SUE: That night.
DUNSTON: The night you left?
BETTY SUE: Uh-huh.
DUNSTON: I recall we left things open-ended. We never—
BETTY SUE: Why does everything always have to be finalized with you Dunston? Can’t you ever just wing it?
DUNSTON: You left me during the night without sayin’ a word. Do you have any idea what it was like waking up not to find you sleeping beside me? I thought something happened to you. I even searched throughout town.
BETTY SUE: You did? Why??
DUNSTON: Cause you were gone!
BETTY SUE: I was gone cause I left you!
DUNSTON: I didn’t know that at the time.
BETTY SUE: How can you not have known that?
