Diane Court I just can't have any social life right now.
Don't worry about it. We're just having coffee. We'll be anti-social.
Diane Court Be friends?
Yeah. With potential.

7 scenes Diane Court Diane Court Diane Court Are you shaking?
No.
Diane Court You're shaking.
I don't think so.
Diane Court You're cold.
I don't think I am.
Diane Court Then why are you shaking?
I don't know. I think I'm happy.
Diane Court I have this theory of convergence, that good things always happen with bad things. I know you have to deal with them at the same time, but I just don't know why they have to happen at the same time. I just wish I could work out some schedule. Am I just babbling? Do you know what I mean?
No.
Check your mail tomorrow. I sent you a letter, a letter.
Diane Court Your letter came yesterday.
It did?
Diane Court Uh-huh. It was wonderful.
Why didn't you tell me?
Diane Court It was wonderful.
I've never sent a letter like that, you know? I mean, I felt like I wanted to tell you something, but I didn't put it in the letter, and I didn't say it, but I want to say it now, I'm not sure if I should say it, you know, 'cause people always say it and don't mean it, but I think that I mean it, so, um, I just wanted to tell you...
Diane Court No, we don't have to say it.
How do you know what I'm going to say?
Diane Court I don't know what you're going to say, but I think that...
I was just going to tell you that I love you. [pause] I said it.
Diane Court I know. Lloyd, let's not start putting things on this level.
What? This is a good level, isn't it?
Diane Court How can I look at you and say this?
Say what?
Diane Court [He leans over, kisses her, and smiles.]
I think that we should spend some time apart.
What's wrong?
Diane Court Well, I need to study, and...
You need to study?
Diane Court Yeah.
Okay, how much time do you need? I mean, you know, I mean you'll be leaving in a little while, so that's answered some questions.
Diane Court We'll see.
Okay. It's good knowing this.
Diane Court Yeah, uh-huh.
Diane Court We decided...
'Cause I'm worried, did you just break up with me?
Diane Court No, no.
It sounded like you did.
Diane Court No. We decided that we're friends. I mean, I know it's a terrible word...
Well, if we're friends, why can't we see each other?
Diane Court I think that we should stop going out on dates.
I feel like a dick. You must think I'm a dick.
Diane Court No, I don't, I don't.
Yeah you do.
Diane Court Lloyd, we shared the most intimate thing two people can share.
You shared it with a dick.
[after saying he loves her]
What? I'm sorry I said that. Forget I said it, it's what I thought I meant, but...
Diane Court Lloyd...
...forget it.
Diane Court [making air quotes]
"I love you," okay?
What is that? What are you doing with your hands?
Diane Court Don't! Don't be - !
Talk to me, you're talking like that girl, Sheila!
Diane Court Don't be mean, this is hard for me too.
Diane Court Shit. [She turns away from him and takes the pen from her coat pocket] Just take this pen, please, and write me?
[She puts the pen on the car dashboard, and turns away again]
I can't believe this. You just broke up with me.
[They both sit in silence]
Diane Court Lloyd, I'm sorry.
What do you want?
Diane Court I'm sorry.
What do you want?
Diane Court My father's guilty. He lied to me, he lied to everybody. I just left home... I need you.
You do?
Diane Court Everything else means nothing to me. If I hurt you again, I'll die. I love you.
What?
Diane Court I love you. How many more times do I have to say it?
One more would be nice.
Diane Court I love you... please. I love you.
One question: do you need... someone, or do you need me?... Forget it, I don't really care.
Diane Court Nobody thinks it will work, do they?
No. You just described every great success story.
