Hint of Dialogue

VAN:  You told me to find some girl, some other girl like from work or something, so I did. There’s a girl... in the guidance
counselor office.  I mean not a student, obviously, a woman, an assistant guidance... and... And I asked her out. I went, and I asked her out. And she’s cute and kind of mousy, and we had sex.  Because you told me to, Ada. Because you told me to.
(Beat.)
I know when you are being facetious, and I know you weren’t when you - I’m not... you have to know that I am not and I have never, ever, ever, been a cheater.
