Oh, I see. Playing tongue tennis with my best friend behind my back? Real classy, Derek. How long has this been going on?

... you're telling me she came onto YOU? Wow, how original. You always have a way of making the woman chase you, don't you?
Fine, if you want the truth, she didn't come onto me. I made a mistake, okay? I fucked up. But please, don't let this destroy us. I can't lose you.

shakes head You're damn right you did. And I can't believe I trusted you in the first place. What changed, Derek?
