VICTOR:I don’t understand.
LUISA: What don’t you understand.

LUISA: How is this relevant?
VICTOR: Do you like sleeping with me?
LUISA: Most of the time, yes.

LUISA: I don’t know.
Pause.
VICTOR: Do you see my confusion?
LUISA: No.
VICTOR: What do you mean, no!?
LUISA: No means no.
VICTOR: ok, don’t put it like that.
LUISA: Like what?
VICTOR: Like I’m trying to force you into –
LUISA: But are you?
VICTOR: I’m not trying to force you into that!
LUISA: But are you trying to force me into… anything?
Pause.
VICTOR:I just don’t understand why you don’t –

VICTOR: So what are we?
LUISA shrugs.
VICTOR: FUCK!
LUISA: Look, no one is making you to stay in this.
VICTOR: I know.
LUISA: If you don’t want to be in this, you don’t have to –
VICTOR: I know I know but…
LUISA: But what?
VICTOR: But I want to be in this…
LUISA: Ok, then.
VICTOR: Do you want to be in this?
LUISA: For the most part, yes.
Pause.

LUISA: Victor!
VICTOR: What?
LUISA: Don’t say anything.
VICTOR doesn’t say anything.
Beat.
Lights fade.
