ALEXIS You never pay any attention to me.
JASON I mean, it’ s just common sense, right? You wouldn’ t want someone going upstairs in our house, would you?
JASON( CONT’ D) So I didn’ t go upstairs, even though I knew that there was a chance that either Barry or my watch could be up there. I walk into the next room, and you want to know what?
ALEXIS You’ re also really boring.
JASON I ended up in the first room I was in! Isn’ t that ridiculous?
JASON sits back down in the chair.
JASON( CONT’ D) So there I was; no watch, no Barry, no drink, and I was in the room with the girl in the red or orange dress, who just had to be twenty-five. I just didn’ t know what to do.
ALEXIS( Gesturing around herself.) And I don’ t want to live like this. I thought that I could handle you pursuing your stand-up career, but you’ re not even funny.
JASON So I walk up to the woman in the red or orange dress, and I ask her“ do you know where that guy I was with went?” And you know what she did? She just looked at me like I was stupid or something.
