Josh: You were in a car accident?
Donna: It was…
Josh: Seriously, you were in an accident?
Donna: It was no big deal.
Josh: You told me it was a late thaw.
Donna: Yes. I did. Anyway, they took me to the hospital, and I called him and he came down to get me, and on the way, he stopped and met some friends of his for a beer.
Josh: He stopped on the way to the hospital for a beer?
Donna: Yes. And so I left him. Which was the point of my telling you this. I left him. So stop remembering that. What I remember is that you took me back when you had absolutely no reason to trust me again and you didn’t make fun of me or him and you had every reason to.
Josh: Donna.
Donna: You’re going to make fun of him now, aren’t you?
Josh: No.
Donna: ‘Cause that’s why I didn’t tell you in the first place.
Josh: I’m not gonna make fun of him.
Donna: Good.
Josh: But just…what kind of a dumpkiss were you—
Donna: He was supposed to meet some of his friends. He stopped on the way to tell them that he couldn’t.
Josh: And had a beer?
Donna: Does this make you feel superior? Yes, you are better than my old boyfriend.
Josh: I’m…I’m just saying, if you were in an accident I wouldn’t stop for a beer.
Donna: If you were in an accident I wouldn’t stop for red lights. Thanks for taking me back. Oh, and the flowers are beautiful.
