A: You all right?
B: Yes.
A: Are you sure?

Scene 5
A: We can’t stay here.
B: Why not?
A: It’s not safe.
B: You keep saying that.
A: Because it’s true.
B: You’re overreacting.
A: Not this time.

B: Do you swear not to tell anyone else?
A: What are you getting at?
B: Can I trust you?
A: Who can you trust?
B: What does that mean?
A: You can’t figure it out?
B: Are you insulting me?

A: Why not right now?
