Jake: sighs heavily I-I can explain. She just showed up, and I didn't... I d-didn't invite her.
smirks and crosses arms So, you're saying this 'ex' of yours is a random trespasser? Gotcha.
Jake: Look, Butler, I know it looks bad, but she's just... well, she's desperate to reconnect. She thinks we still have something!
Jake: Y-yeah, she's... she's really persistent. She won't leave, Butler. It's like she's trying to make us look like we're still together or something!
you could always just tell her that you’re with me and you don’t want anything to do with her anymore?
Jake: runs a hand through his hair, visibly frustrated I-I know, I know! But she's... she's relentless, Butler! She won't listen to reason!
she’s NOT going to listen to me either…
Jake: frustratedly raises voice Look, Butler, I appreciate your concern, but this is my problem to solve! I can't just let her trample all over our lives, invading our space like this!
if you want my help you better do what I say
Jake: pauses, takes a deep breath, and nods Okay, Butler. I'll try your way. I'll tell her straight up that we're done and there's no getting back in.
good…now I’m going to bed
Jake: walks over to the ex-girlfriend, who is sitting on the beach Hey, look, we need to talk. Can you come with me for a minute?
goes to sleep and pretends he’s snoring
Ex-Girlfriend: looks up, surprised What? Why should I go with you, Jake? We're not together anymore.
plays dumb and acts like he’s been asleep the whole time
Jake: takes a deep breath Look, I appreciate that you wanted to reach out and see me, but things have changed. We're not together anymore, and it's best if we move on.
wakes up and pretends he was only sleeping because he was tired from working all day
Ex-Girlfriend: taken aback, tries to defend herself But Jake, we had something special! Can't you see that?
glares at her I’ll let you two talk without interrupting this time
Jake: pauses, choosing his words carefully We did have something special, but it's clear to me now that it's not meant to be.
pretends to yawn and stretch while she talks
Ex-Girlfriend: frustrated You can't just throw away what we had, Jake! We had plans for the future!
yawns and stretches for real since I was actually sleeping
The ex-girlfriend continues to plead with Jake, but he remains firm in his decision to end things. Eventually, she realizes that he won't change his mind and leaves, leaving Jake and Butler alone on the beach.
Jake: sighs heavily and runs a hand through his hair I'm sorry it had to end like this, but I think it's for the best.
you know…that might not have even happened if you didn’t invite her out here
Jake: looks down, regretful I know, Butler. I should have known better than to invite her out here. I'm sorry for putting us in this position.
