SARAH: (nervously) I am. I mean, I’m just…I’m so angry.
JASON: (concerned) What’s wrong? Is everything okay?
SARAH: (hesitates) It’s just…I don’t know if I can do this anymore.
JASON: (confused) Do what?
SARAH: (takes a deep breath) Us. This relationship. I don’t know if I can keep pretending everything is fine.

JASON: (softly) What do you mean?
