"I love you."
"I can't do this anymore Bart, I don't know what I'm supposed to say, I don't know how I'm supposed to feel. I just don't know anymore."
"Just tell me you love me too."
"But I don't know if I do, I mean you've rejected me so many times that I don't even believe that you love me."
"Of course I do Jasmine."
"But if you couldn't accept me when I wanted to be Jason, then why should I let you have me now?"
"I did accept you as Jason; I loved you as Jason too."
"So right now if my want to be Jason hadn't have subsided, and my comfort in my female body didn't exist, you would have still wanted me?"
"Yes."
"You're lying, come on Bart I'm giving you the chance to tell me the truth."
"Look, when you told me that you didn't want to go through with your transition to become Jason and that you were mentally a girl, I was delighted, because I knew it meant that I might get Jasmine back, it never meant that I had no feelings for you as Jason."
"I was never sure about becoming Jason. I guess I just really thought it was what I wanted, and then yet when I had everyone calling me Jason, it wasn't the great feeling I was hoping for."
"I always thought you were sure."
"Oh come on, of course I wasn't sure! I didn't even have the sureness to cut off my hair; I just crammed it under a wig and made everyone believe I had cut it."
"It's grown you know"
"Yeah hair has a tendency to do that"
"I like it"
"You prefer everything about me when I'm Jasmine, in fact I guess now I do too."
"So you're desire to be Jason, do you think it will ever resurface?"
"No. The doctor said it really was a phase. One of those unlikely cases."
"And how do you feel about it?"
"I'm happy I guess, for the first time in ages I actually feel really comfortable with the way I am. Like I'm not pretending."
"I'm glad."
"So am I."
"So..."
"So what?"
"Do you love me or not?"
"I'm not ready to answer that yet."
"Everything I said in that cellar I meant."
"Don't start".
"I'm just telling you."
"What about Sinead, I mean you love her too right."
"I love you, not Sinead; I was never in love with Sinead."
"That's not what you told me before."
"I was an idiot before; I didn't know what I wanted!"
"What and now you do?"
"Yes, I want you!"
"Well you can't have me"
"What?"
"I love you Bart, I really do, but loving you is too painful right now, I may have meant everything I said in the cellar, but I meant everything I said in the woods afterwards, I can't afford to have my heart stomped on all over again, I just can't, right now I need to focus on starting college and my future."
"But we can start our future together as a couple."
"No, your love for me it's like a switch, it on when you want it to be and then off when you want it to be. I can't be involved with that right now I need something that is certain, that's why I want us to be friends and only friends. I could do with a strong friendship right now; if you do care you'll give me a friendship I can rely on."
"Ok, fine but I just want you to know, that every time we hang out as just friends I'll always be wanting more."
"Bart..."
"What so you can express what you want yet I'm not allowed to say what I want."
"What I want is reasonable."
"No it's bloody not,"
"I'm not going to argue about this!"
"Fine, FRIEND, your wish is my command!"
"Good."
"Right well then I'll see tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow."
