Bridget, would you just stop? Enough already.
What do you want?
I want you to get a grip. Jesus, he's going to cling to you even more than you do to him. I don't know who is more pathetic but it'll work if you stop trying to throw everything you can reach at it.
How do you expect me to do that?
Revert back. Reign it back in. You want to be like everyone else? Well, everyone else wants to be just like you. Go back to your sweet submissiveness, baby.
It didn't work.
Oh, like hell it didn't. Think about it for a moment.
You don't know me anymore.
Still better than anyone. Don't you kid yourself.
It won't work. It didn't work. I couldn't do it. I lost it.
I lost sight of your impulsiveness, that's all, baby. I let go just a little and I dropped you. I'm sorry.
You're not sorry. You think this is funny.
No, it isn't funny. I fucked up, baby. But there's only one thing I have left to tell you and then I'm gone. It's too crowded in here in your sweet little head. I need space and time.
What is it?
He's just like me, Bridge. I'm glad you're safe now.
Safe was a joke with you, Cole.
No, Jacob was a joke, Bridget. He was an illusion. Sure he was a good man and he lived admirably and all that shit but at the end of the day he was more fragile than you are and look what happened. I could have warned you. I wanted you to be so happy. I couldn't make you happy and I tried to overlook his problems and let you alone and I failed you.
You never wanted me to be happy.
Bridget, I wasn't smart enough to control myself when it came to you. None of us are. When are you ever going to get that through your head?
So now what?
Stop overthinking things. Watch a bunch of movies, dote on the kids and wait for Ben to come back. Forgive Ben for his issues. Get on with your life. You're driving me fucking crazy here. Everything is okay now. Accept it and live, for once. In the present. You guys will figure it out sooner rather than later.
I know.
Don't know. Just do.
Yeah.
Fucking finally. I love you so much. Be happy for once.
How do I help him be strong?
Be happy, Bridget. That's all it ever takes. If you're strong, he'll draw that from you. There's nothing else to it.
Were you always so strong?
Never. I knew I took that happiness from you and squandered it. I'm so sorry, Bridget.
Well, I win, because now you're dead.
Or maybe I win, because you're still a beautiful fucking mess.
