Tough Love: Episode 6

We’ll be taking both keys. What do you want from us?

(Wilt walks around the table and sits opposite Jasmine.)

WILT

You don’t negotiate much, do you?

JASMINE

Not really. You?

WILT

I’ve seen a few movies.

JASMINE

What are those like?

WILT

Movies?

JASMINE

No, the negotiations.

WILT

Oh. (Pause) Well, they say a good place to start is to find something that the other person didn’t know they wanted.

JASMINE

Well that doesn’t help us much. We both need the same thing and there is no substitute for it. Plus you’re way too stubborn.

WILT

That’s not necessarily a bad thing you know. Besides, you’re at least as stubborn as I am.

JASMINE

What? How am I stubborn?

WILT

I told you what my intentions were from the start yet you’ve persistently tried to persuade me to go back home where it’s safe.

JASMINE

(Sigh) Maybe we’re both just wasting our time then.

WILT

You know, we’ve been a part of each other’s lives for a little over a week now. And I’m just now realizing that I barely know anything about you.

JASMINE

What do you want to know?
