[ Arthur’s been nothing but honest with her, but she’s not even sure where to start. How to explain everything, even if she wanted to?
All she wants to do is throw him under the bus, forget her feelings.]
You know he had a little girl, once? A daughter. Whole time I’ve known him, he’s rarely said a word about her. And his whole life is like that, doesn’t talk about anyone who’s dead or gone, and I knew he’d do it to me too. I knew he would. No matter what, he’d still leave me with a fucking apartment and a guitar, and he’d go on and make a life elsewhere like I never existed.
And Ellie says... [ Fuck, she’s trying not to choke up with anger. ] She says she’s his kid now! He settles down and plays daddy with the kid I had to beg him to take the minute I’m gone? He couldn’t even do the one thing that I asked him to do! Fuck him!
