Transcript:

Oscar: You can’t spend every day inside, I-… Courtney: Is that Matilda? Oscar: Sure looks like her.

Matilda: I’m guessing that’s your loin spawn in there? Oscar: Nah, just one too many tacos. Matilda: Hah, sucks to be you guys! Say bye-bye to your freedom, sleep, money, etcetera etcetera.

Courtney: I’m gonna head back. Oscar: I’ll-… Courtney: No, stay.

Matilda: She knows I was kidding, right? Oscar: Yeah… Matilda: Is she not-.. I thought you two always wanted this?

Oscar: We do, it’s.. complicated. Matilda: Complicated how? Is it not yours? Oscar: [scoffs] You’re a fucking numpty, ‘course he’s mine. Let’s walk, I’ve got a long ass story for ya…

…

Matilda: Jesus, Oscar! Why the fuck wouldn’t you let Ivan tell me anything?! I thought he was just being a nobhead. Oscar: I don’t know, I figured it’d be safer if you weren’t involved. Matilda: I was fucking working there!

Oscar: I tried telling Ivan to quit nagging you about that; if he had, you would’ve got bored n’ left anyway. Matilda: True… How long did it take you to find her? Oscar: Over a month.

Matilda: Fucking hell, I feel like a dickhead for being mean to her now. Oscar: You weren’t mean, she’s just-… Matilda: What?

Oscar: She won’t talk to anyone about what happened. She keeps insisting she’s okay, but we both know that’s not true. She can’t stand to be alone; she has nightmares, she flinches if I catch her off guard, she’s super self-conscious all of a sudden, she’s not interested in sex anymore... I don’t know what to do.

Matilda: Oh my god, don’t cry! Oscar: [choked] Sorry. Matilda: You know I don’t know what to say when people cry.

Oscar: I can’t cope with the guilt; she should hate me. Matilda: She clearly doesn’t. Oscar: She used to be so exuberant n’ full of life, but now it’s-… I fucking broke her, Tilda.

Matilda: You didn’t break her. Maybe she’s just like.. temporarily maimed? Oscar: [sobs] Great. Matilda: I did say temporarily… She’ll probably talk when she’s ready, as long as you keep listening.

Oscar: I’m trying my best, it’s hard whilst having to work though. I doubt it’s doing her any good being cooped up all day. Matilda: Doesn’t she have any friends? Oscar: Yeah, but she’s avoiding them because they don’t know what happened.

Matilda: Oh, right… I guess I could hang out with her? I’m only round the corner, and I know what’s going on. Oscar: Really? Matilda: I mean, I ain’t saying she’s gonna be thrilled about the idea. No one enjoys hanging out with me.

Oscar: Only because you purposefully act like an incorrigible bitch. Matilda: Yeah, well.. I’m trying this new thing where I don’t do that. Oscar: It’d be nice if people didn’t think I was insane for being your friend.

Matilda: [scoffs] You look like a dad already in that stupid puffer jacket, by the way. Oscar: [laughs softly] I’m practicing. Matilda: I don’t think you need any practice…
