This is Our Youth

WARREN: Thats ok

JESSICA: -- but I actually just wanted to tell you I can't have brunch

WARREN: Why not?

JESSICA: Well, when I got home this morning I got into this really huge fight with my Mom and I think I'd better just be at home today. She kind of freaked out that I never called last night, so now she wants to have some big Landmark Discussion about how we're gonna handle my living there this year…

WARREN: Well … Thanks for cancelling in person.

Jessica: Well, I'm sorry, but my Mom's really upset and getting along with her is a really big priority for me right now. I tried to call before, but the line was busy.

WARREN: Do you want to make a plan for any time this week?

JESSICA: I think I'd better just chill out a bit this week, actually

WARREN: All right.

JESSICA: Well…You seem like you're really angry…

Warren: I'm not.

JESSICA: Well, that's not the impression you're conveying, but ..

Warren: No - I guess I just don't understand why you walked ten blocks out of your way so you could be around the corner so you could buzz up and tell me you can't have brunch with me.

JESSICA: Uh no: I told you I tried to call…

Warren: Yeah- he was on the phone for like two minutes.

JESSICA: All right, Im sorry

Warren: There's nothing to be sorry about.

JESSICA: All right. So… can i ask you something?

WARREN: go ahead

JESSICA: Did you tell Dennis what happened last night?

WARREN: Um… I guess.

JESSICA: Really. What did you say?

WARREN: Nothing. I said we had a nice time.

Jessica: That's all?

WARREN: Pretty much.

JESSICA: I find that really hard to believe.

WARREN: Why?

JESSICA: I don't know. Don't you guys get into like comparing notes and stuff?

WARREN: I'm not really into that.

Jessica: Well… ok… its just- this is getting a little weird now because when i talked to valarie, she asked me if anything happened with us last night and for some reason, i guess i didnt really tell her that anything did. So now shes gonna talk to Dennis and im going to look like a total liar to someone im just starting to be close friends with and who i really care about…!

Warren: Um…So…I don't really get…You're mad at me because you lied to Valerie?

Jessica: No, I just should have figured that you would rush off to tell your friends that you ****ed me-

WARREN: Whoa!

JESSICA: -- whereas I might be more inclined to be a little more discreet about it till I found out where I stood with you.

WARREN: I didn't ****in' rush off anywhere!

JESSICA: yeah whatever you know what? it doesnt really matter-

Warren: I came back here 'cause I'm staying here-

JESSICA: OK, but you know what? It really doesn't matter -

Warren: And the minute I walked through the door he like totally grilled me-

JESSICA: Oh so you just tell him anything he wants to know no matter what the consequences are for somebody else

WARREN: No! Will you let me finish my -

JESSICA: But honestly, warren? I really don't care who you told, or what you told them, because people are gonna tink whatever they think and you know what? theres nothing I can do about it.
