H.: It's the principle of the thing.

H.: No.

S.: H.

H.:

S.: H.

H.: I said no. I mean no.

S.: It's not like I'm asking to borrow a thousand dollars.

H.: My socks are precious to me. Nobody's feet go in them but mine.

S.: I will buy you new ones.

H.: It's the principle of the thing.

S.: Can you forget about your principles for one stupid minute and see that I'm about to go out into the stupid snow with you to build a stupid snowman for your stupid son?

H.: S.

S.: Screw it. I'm staying inside. You build the snowman by yourself.

H.: You can't stay in.

S.: I'm staying in. Take your stupid kid out there and do it yourself. Spend Quality Time with him.

H.: No. Look.

S.: I can't help it if you feel uncomfortable around your own kid, H. I'm not holding your hand.

H.: Wait a second. This isn't the same argument we started with.

S.: I like this one better.

H.: Well, you can't wear my socks.

S.: Well, you can't change the argument.

H.: I don't have comfort problems with my son!

S.: I'm just your stupid girlfriend, H. What was it he called me? Floozy of the Week? You build the snowman. I've decided that I hate your son.

H.: No. No!

S.: Go now. I'm going to take a hot bath, and then I might just pack my things and go.

H.: We're at a cabin in the middle of nowhere!

S.: I don't care. I'll walk.

S.:

H.: Wear my socks.

S.: No.

H.: Wear them.

S.:

H.: Say what you want about my stupid son, but my stupid socks are not smelly. Or stupid.

S.:

H.: Wear them.

S.: Fine. Give them here.

H.: You're really going to wear them?

S.: Give them to me.

H.: I didn't think you would want to.

S.: Give. Them. To. Me.

H.: Here.

S.:

H.:

S.:

H.: That's how you put socks on? Don't do it like that.

S.: Wh --

S.: Give me the (censored) socks.

H.: Hey!

S.: I will put these on the way I want to, and you'll sit there and watch me. Got it? Or I walk. Now.

H.:

S.: Got it?

H.: Got it.

S.: Fine. Sit down. Over there.

H.:

S.:

H.: Ooh --

S.:

H.: Not like --

S.:

H.: Oh, come --

S.:

H.:

S.: There. Let's go out.

H.: I'll have to throw them away now.

S.: That's it.

H.: Where are you going?

S.: I'm packing. I'm leaving.
