When I came back, you remember I had a bandage on my ankle?
Yeah.
I told you I slipped on the ice on the front walk?
Yeah. You know why? 'Cause you didn't put down the kitty litter.
I was actually in a car accident.
You were in a car accident?
It was...
Seriously, you were in an accident?
It was no big deal.
You told me it was a late thaw.
[smiles] Yes. I did. Anyway, they took me to the hospital and I called him and he came to get me and on the way he stopped and met some friends of his for a beer.
[incredulously] He stopped on the way to the hospital for a beer?
Yes. And that's why 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.
Donna...
You're gonna make fun of him now, aren't you?
No.
'Cause that's why I didn't tell you in the first place.
I'm not gonna make fun of him.
Good.
But just what kind of a dumbkes were you...
He was supposed to meet some of his friends. He stopped on the way to tell them that he couldn't.
And had a beer?
Does this make you feel superior?
[Josh looks away and starts to say something, but doesn't.]
Yes, you are better than my old boyfriend.
[Josh stands up and walks toward the door, but stops in the doorway.]
I'm just sayin', if you were in an accident, I wouldn't stop for a beer.
[stands up] If you were in an accident, I wouldn't stop for red lights. Thanks for taking me back. [walks out of his office] Oh, and the flowers are beautiful.
