T A T E I’m not my parents.

[rosie de la cruz]

R O S I E But you weigh everything you do against their approval.

[tate mccarthy]

T A T E Doesn’t everyone? It’s a factor, doesn’t mean it’s the deciding one.

[rosie de la cruz]

R O S I E Would I be enough, Tate? For what you want, for what they want…all the factors. Yes or no.

[tate mccarthy]

T A T E Are we really doing this? Do you seriously want me to answer that?

[rosie de la cruz]

R O S I E Could you honestly answer it?

[tate mccarthy]

T A T E Easily. Our issue has never been you not measuring up, it’s always been me.

[rosie de la cruz]

R O S I E What? How?

[tate mccarthy]

T A T E Rosie, come on. You broke up with me once before over this, don’t act dumb now.

T A T E Yeah, now that there’s a viral TikTok featuring another girl, it seems to be different for you.

R O S I E I meant that I know now I can’t think of you being different than me as something I should resent you for, but sure, let’s go with the TikTok you didn’t know about.

[rosie de la cruz]

R O S I E That’s why I said I can’t do it, and it wasn’t fair of me. Yes or no. I think I just want the answer now.

[tate mccarthy]

T A T E It’s not a yes or no question and I don’t want to get into it over im.
