Full Script
Amy: Why did you follow me? From the parking lot. Why?
Danny: Because you flipped me off. Because you made me feel small.
Amy: I made YOU feel small? You cut me off! I was having the worst day of my life!
Danny: So was I! You don't know anything about my life!
Amy: I know you ruined mine. Systematically. Obsessively.
Danny: You started it.
Amy: Are we five? Is that really your argument? 'You started it?'
Danny: I had nothing! I lost everything! And you looked at me like I was garbage!
Amy: I had everything! And it all felt like garbage! Do you understand that?
Danny: No. No, I don't. That's the point.
