[Start]TINA
I'm in my own head head.
I'm just thinking.
[0:03]BRAD
Yeah.
[0:04]TINA
Literally.
Well, I'm brushing my dogs.
I'm just thinking.
And you are asking me what I'm thinking about and not letting me not tell you.
You are not letting me have privacy in my own-.
[0:16]Brad
(Cutting Tina off) You're so full of shit.
[0:18]TINA
So, like, that's literally what just happened.
Like, I'm sitting here brushing my dog.
[0:21]BRAD
I'm going to fill up a bowl.
You do whatever it is you usually do.
And, uhh, we'll take it from there.
[0:30]TINA
I'm brushing my dogs.
And you think that you are entitled to know what is happening in my brain.
[0:37]BRAD
No, I'm just right and you're lying. But go on.
[0:42]TINA
What am I lying about?
Can you tell me, if you're going to accuse me of lying?
Can you tell me what am I lying about?
What am I lying about?
[0:48]BRAD
What you are thinking about.
[0:49]TINA
I'm lying about what I'm thinking about.
And you know that how.
[0:54]BRAD
Because I just know. Because I've been with you for five years.
[0:57]TINA
Because you just know that I'm lying about what I'm thinking about.
[1:00]BRAD
You've been with me for five years.
That's an important detail.
You've been with me for five years.
I've actually had to deal with your shit.
[1:05]TINA
So, you got to deal with my shit for five years.
So, you know exactly what I'm thinking about.
[1:08]BRAD
(Speaking over the end of Tina's latest sentence)I know you're going to throw it on me.
No, but I've had to deal with your shit and look at you and your foolish shit.
[1:13]TINA
Okay, so, I'm sorry.
So, wait, excuse me, I'm lying.
What am I lying about?
You still haven't, like, outright said what I'm lying about.
You're going to call me a liar.
[1:22]BRAD
I mean, you tell me, Tina, there's so much.
[1:25]TINA
So, what I'm going to tell you is that I'm not lying about anything.
I'm sitting here.
[1:28]BRAD
Lets start by telling me everything you have lied about Tina.
[1:32]TINA
What have I lied to you about?
[1:39]BRAD
Because I think of times where you have mistakenly lied.
[1:44]TINA
Yeah.
[1:44]BRAD
And you've said you've lied and no matter what I've said, you wouldn't accept that you lied to me.
So, you're a liar and you can't accept this.
[1:53]TINA
So, if someone-
[1:54]BRAD
Which is the worst combination, I think I've ever witnessed in a partner.
[1:59]TINA
So, if someone unknowingly says something that isn't true, or they don't know.
[2:02]BRAD
And they can't accept when somebody corrects them, then they're full of shit.
[2:06]TINA
So, it's-
[2:06]BRAD
And when somebody can't listen, when their partner tells them, and actually just deflects it and makes their life hell, then that's fucked up.
And then you're a terrible lying partner who's emotionally abusive.
[2:19]TINA
So, if you say something to me, if I say something-
[2:24]BRAD
No, if you want to be combative, we can continue being combative because clearly you're not paying enough attention to this conversation.
How about you stop doing what you're doing with the dogs, look them in the eyes and just tell me the truth, Tina?
[2:36]TINA
That's the truth about what?
[2:40]BRAD
You tell me.
[2:41]TINA
Okay.
So, if I...
[2:45]BRAD
Without being a sarcastic bitch, look at me in the fucking eyes and tell me the truth.
[2:52]TINA
So, I have-
[2:56]BRAD
In the eyes, Tina!
[2:57]TINA
So, I have accidentally lied to you, before.
Well, I have, like, mistakenly given you-
[3:00]BRAD
Tina.
[3:02]TINA
Sorry, I have mistakenly given you incorrect information, and I...
Don't...
So, mistakenly given, giving incorrect information is not lying, and I am certain...
[3:12]BRAD
So, if that's not an example, then, try again.
An example where you lied to me.
[3:18]TINA
I don't know, that I took the dogs out, and I hadn't yet.
I don't know, sometimes, at some point, I was like, yeah, I'm doing it right now, and then I didn't do it for another half an hour or something.
[3:28]BRAD
So, you lied to me, and you didn't even remember it.
You don't even remember any details.
[3:32]TINA (overlapping BRAD)
A white lie about the dogs that I took care of.
[3:33]BRAD
So, it meant nothing. Just a little white lie about the dogs.
[3:37]TINA
I'm saying I'm sure that it's happening.
[3:38]BRAD
You're just, like, so used to throwing white lies at me, you don't even recognize this.
[3:41]TINA
No, that's not true. I just don't know.
[3:43]BRAD
God there's just, there's so many white lies, Tina.
It's like, if they're all white lies, then none of them are, right?
[3:54]TINA
I don't... What am I lying to you about?
I wanted, like, I don't know what you were telling me in line to you about.
What's happening in my own brain?
That's not fair.
It's my own brain. You're not entitled to know that.
I'm an individual. If I don't have a safe place within my own head...
[4:09]BRAD
Okay, Tina. I'm your partner of five years, and if you don't respect me as an individual,
then you can, honest to God, get the fuck out of my house.
[4:19]TINA
Both of our names are on the lease.
So, that's not gonna happen. And also, you are not entitled...
[4:27]BRAD
I'm gonna call the police.
I will get you out of here. I will make a story of. I will get you out of here.
[4:35]TINA
Both of our names are on the lease, so you won't be doing that.
And...
[4:40]BRAD
I will say my partner has been emotionally abusive, and I have asked her to leave many times.
And despite the fact that I have no support system, she has refused to leave and has continued to emotionally abuse me.
I need her to get out for at least a day I need space, and she refuses.
Can you please escort my partner somewhere else so that I can have some mental peace?
That's what I'm going to tell them.
[5:003]TINA(overlapping)
That's so...
[5:03]BRAD
I'm gonna call.
Okay.
You done?
[5:10]TINA
Am I not allowed...
[5:11]BRAD
You fucking done.
[5:12]TINA
Can I... I actually know...
I'll give you peace if I'm allowed to be quiet, and I'm allowed to be quiet.
Or do I have to share what's going on in my brain?
[5:18]BRAD
Wow!
So, now that you actually know that you need to be quiet, it's also my fault.
[5:27]TINA
Can I be quiet?
[5:28]BRAD
Can you stop blaming me for shit?
[5:30]TINA
Can I be quiet without you prying about what's going on, right?
[5:34]BRAD
Can you stop being a horrific partner?
Can you look at me in the eyes?
Can you treat me like a person?
Can you treat me like someone who's at your level and not someone who you can manipulate?
[5:44]TINA
I...
I don't know if that's right.
[5:56]BRAD
You... are evil.
[6:03]TINA (Brad interjects here once or twice)
I just want to be able to think quietly while I brush my dogs.
I just want to be able to quietly...
I just want to be able to think quietly while I brush my dogs.
I just want to be able to quietly reflect on my life while I brush my dogs without you asking what I'm thinking about and prying it out of me
and taking your title to know what I'm thinking about.
You're not.
[6:20]BRAD
I'm not even your partner, Tina.
[6:23]TINA
You're not treating me like a partner.
[6:26]BRAD
You're looking around looking for excuses, Tina.
I'm literally watching your body language.
[6:30]TINA
I can't look in your eyes!
[6:32]BRAD
You look like one of those freaks on the fucking interrogation videos.
Every single thing you're doing is full of shit.
You're literally acting like the fucking criminals there, Tina.
Like, every action I could record it.
And it would be like, Tina's looking to the left while immediately, oh, he asked a question.
Her eyes are moving around and she's looking quickly by answering.
Because she has no... Oh, no, you don't, Tina.
You are a lying, manipulative person.
[7:01]TINA
You have trouble.
[7:02]Brad
And you need to get out of my house.
[7:04]TINA
I have trouble with eye contact.
I do.
[7:08]BRAD
I am going to call the cops.
If you don't stop lying to me, Tina, right now.
This is it!
I'm going to...
