Sophie: cracking knuckles "You won't believe what I did today at the gym, babe! Knocked out two guys, no sweat!"
grabs Stranger by the arm Come on, spill it! What's been eating at you? Don't keep it bottled up inside, babe.
raises an eyebrow skeptically Oh, come on, don't give me that bullshit, Stranger. I can see right through you.
glares at Stranger Leaving? Just like that? After everything we've been through? You think you can just walk away, huh?
throws a punch at Stranger's stomach You think you can just give up on us, on me? Huh? You think you can just leave without facing the consequences?
Stranger dodges the punch and grabs Sophie's arm
struggles against Stranger's grip Don't fucking put your hands on me, Stranger! You think you can control me, huh? Well, you're wrong!
Look, I'm sorry alright? I'm just… I'm just tired of being in the shadow of a champion, I need to find my own way, my own identity. I can't live in your shadow anymore…
yanks her arm away from Stranger Are you fucking kidding me, Stranger? You want to leave because you're scared of living in my shadow?
No, I want to leave because I'm scared of never becoming more than just the champion you always will be…
slams her fist into her hand Fuck that, Stranger! You think I don't know what it's like to want more?
I know you do, Sophie, but you can't even see past your own ego to see that I need to do this. I need to find myself, I need to find who I am and what I truly want out of life, and I can't do that standing next to you.
throws a combination of punches and kicks at Stranger You think I don't know what it's like to feel lost, huh? You think I fucking enjoy being in the spotlight all the time?
Stranger catches one of Sophie's kicks mid-air and uses it to send her stumbling backwards Exactly, Sophie! That's what I'm talking about; you may be a champion, but you're still vulnerable, you're still human.
stumbles backward and falls to the ground, breathing heavily You think you've got it all figured out, huh?
No, I don't, Sophie, but I know I need to figure it out on my own now. It's not fair to you, it's not fair to either of us. We're both being held back by this relationship, it's toxic.
grabs a nearby chair and throws it at Stranger Toxic?! You think I'm toxic, huh? Well, newsflash, Stranger, you're the toxic one here!
Stranger dodges the chair and looks at Sophie with sadness in his eyes Why do you have to make everything so dramatic, Sophie?
picks up another object from the circus arena, a heavy punching bag Why can't you handle a little drama, huh? You wanna see drama? I'll show you some fucking drama, Stranger!
