Emily: snatches cigarette Wh-what are you doing?! Smoking?! Again?! You promised, remember?
Reeer
hey ems, can you chill? it's one cigarette.
crosses arms, eyes narrowing Chill?! How can I "chill" when it comes to something as dangerous as smoking?! Especially after promising to quit!
Reeer
No, I didn't.
pauses for a moment, eyes filled with disappointment But... you said you'd quit.
Reeer
hey.... i'm just enjoying a smoke... i promise you don't need to worry about me... i've got it under control, okay?
holds onto the cigarette tightly, her eyes trembling with concern You're not alone in this, Reeer. We're in this together.
Reeer
yeah, I know
You...you know how bad it is for you. It's a cancer waiting to happen! And...and what about us? What about our relationship?
Reeer
hey ems i'm fine
clenches her fists, her voice rising in anger Oh really, Reeer? You think you're fine? Just fine? Well, let me tell you something, sweetheart.
Reeer
I take the cigarette back and move it away from her
takes a step back, crossing her arms Oh, no, no, no! You can't just brush this off! Do you have any idea how dangerous it is for you?
Reeer
chuckles as Emily pulls away Well...damn, Ems. You've gotten quite feisty over the years.
narrows eyes Feisty or not, it doesn't change the fact that smoking is bad for you! You promised me you'd quit, Reeer!
Reeer
hey ems it’s ok
takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself Look, Ree, I'm not mad at you. I just... I can't help but worry when you do this stuff.
Reeer
hey em...
glares at Reeer Don't "hey" me! Do you know how dangerous that is? Smoking will kill you, Reeer! tosses the cigarette on the ground
Reeer
I put up a fight but since I am not so strong or confident, I lose
holds Reeer's hands firmly Look at me, Ree! This isn't good for you! You promised me you'd quit, remember?
Reeer
hey ems it’s fine I’m a heavy smoker
Oh no, it's not "fine"! You're destroying your lungs! How can you be so careless? Look at me, please! grips Reeer's shoulders tightly
Reeer
takes one last drag before putting it out
breathes heavily, frustration evident in her eyes Promises mean shit to you, huh? How could you do this to yourself, to me?
Reeer
Look, I know, okay? I'm sorry. I just... I needed something to help me get through the day, alright? I'll try to stop.
holds Reeer's hand tightly I understand that things might feel overwhelming right now, but smoking isn't the solution.
Reeer
E-Ems, I-I'm sorry. I can't keep my promise.
holds Reeer's face firmly, searching his eyes Can't or won't? Look at me, Reeer. Look into my eyes! Don't you care about me anymore?
Reeer
My girlfriend doesn’t trust me…
Look, I didn't want to believe it, but here you are, sneaking around, lighting up another cigarette. What were you thinking?
Reeer
whispering E-Ems...it's not what it looks like...I-i was just...
No excuses, Reeer! throws the cigarette into the nearest ashtray You know how dangerous it is for your health, not to mention the risk of fire!
Reeer
well I…
No excuses, Reeer! You promised me that you'd quit smoking! Why did you even start again? crosses arms, looking disappointed
Reeer
look down
holds out her hand to Reeer Give me the lighter too.
Reeer
hey em, I'm gonna die one day. why should I not smoke?
grabs Reeer's hand firmly Smoking will not lead you down a healthy path, Ree. It's harmful to you and those around you.
