00:00My life has been a charade, you're right, in many ways.
00:04We've just been going over what a great life you have, being popular and marrying Whitey.
00:09Yes, I accept this is my life, unlike you.
00:16You're talking like there's some other person you can pin responsibility on.
00:23That's a cop-out.
00:24A cop-out?
00:27What about you?
00:28You are right. I am running from more than you even know. I am getting far, far away.
00:35You've never been anywhere.
00:38You'll be back within six months.
00:42You're kind of pathetic, you know?
00:44Oh, I'm pathetic?
00:46You act like your life has been so heavy and intense because you were gay and cheated on a lover.
00:56But now you want to throw it all away and start fresh anew.
01:00You act like there was somebody else.
01:03Well, if there was somebody else, Richard, who was it?
01:06You know what? I'm just saying, I'm just saying that your problems seem pretty normal.
01:12Small-town girl, popular, marries the jock and it doesn't work out.
01:19You're a cliché, Tiffany.
01:21I'm never coming back.
01:24Oh, sure, you'll explore.
01:26You'll search for that freedom that you missed out on when you got married in your twenties.
01:33And you'll look for that elusive, real kiss.
01:38But it doesn't exist.
01:41Not in the long run.
01:44And you know what?
01:46Eventually you'll want what I want. The husband, the kids.
01:49Oh, you think just because that's what you want, everybody does?
01:54I've been around a lot of people, I know what I'm talking about.
01:57You don't know shit about me or my problems.
02:02You're the typical small-town divorcee.
02:06Okay, you've never experienced life outside of our town.
02:10Once you get a taste of it, trust me, you'll be back, just like me.
02:15You're wrong.
02:17It didn't work out perfect.
02:20That's everyone's story.
02:23You don't know what you're talking about.
02:25So, why'd he drink?
