My first-ever dialogue-only chapter. I added their names in the conversation as much as possible to avoid any confusion. ;)
"Hey, Corny?"
"Hm."
"Are you okay? I mean, about what I just said."
"Huh?"
"Well, I mean, you were pretty quiet the whole time. Are you mad at me?"
"No, babe."
"Really? You're not mad?"
"Of course not."
"Oh. Because I thought you'd kill me after you found out I crashed your car."
"Amber, I could never be mad at...wait, what?"
"You weren't listening, were you? You never listen."
"I don't think you're the one that has the right to be angry right now, Amber."
"Oh, baby, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."
"I thought I told you that you couldn't drive my car until after you got your license."
"I know, it's just that it's so shiny. I love shiny things."
"Don't I know it."
"And it looked so...lonely out there. Just sitting in the driveway, all by itself. Crying."
"My car was crying?"
"It was lonely."
"Amber."
"What?"
"Have you ever considered therapy?"
"Corny!"
"How bad is the damage?"
"About that."
"How bad?"
"Um..."
"Amber."
"Well, think of it this way: you've been wanting a new car for awhile now."
"What did you do?!"
"I kind of...um...well, at first it was a little fender bender. And then I got out to give the other driver my information."
"Amber, you don't have any information. You don't have a license."
"Right. So, I was getting out the car, and I kind of forgot to turn the emergency brake on."
"What?!"
"And it kind of rolled down a hill."
"It kind of rolled down a hill?"
"And then it hit a tree at the bottom of the hill, and it kind of got smashed."
"How can a car kind of get smashed?"
"I don't know, I was just trying to make it sound better!"
"Oh my God, Amber. Of all the things you could do...that car was my baby!"
"Yeah."
"I mean, I waxed it every weekend! I dusted the interior every night when I got home from work! I bought decals for it! Now I'm never going to be able to put them on, Amber! The decals will forever be sitting on a shelf in my garage! I loved that car!"
"Yeah."
"...wait a minute. You did this on purpose, didn't you?"
"What? I...I..."
"How could you?!"
"Corny, I would never do something like that!"
"You were jealous!"
"I was not!"
"You were jealous of Betty!"
"Ugh! You were obsessed with that thing! Who names their car, Corny? Who?!"
"Uh, lots of people!"
"Name one, Corny."
"Well, okay, maybe I'm the only one. But...but...you crashed my car!"
"On accident!"
"On purpose!"
"Accident!"
"Purpose!"
"Accident!"
"Purpose!"
"Accident!"
"GUYS!"
"What do you want, Link?!"
"Uh, the show's starting?"
"Oh, thank you, Link. Amber, we'll talk about this later."
"Fine."
"..."
"...Amber? Why were you in Corny's dressing room?"
