Brenda: “Apparently you’re still angry at me for committing you.”Billy: “No. That was the best thing that could have happened to me.”Brenda: “Then why wouldn’t you see me, or take my calls or e-mail?”Billy: “Because Dr. Hanover suggested that I might be able to do more constructive work… If I cut things off with you for a while. Because you have contributed a lot to my pathology.” Brenda: “You have a medical condition.”Billy: “It’s not just about pharmaceuticals. I never developed any functional way to deal with the world… because you kept me from it.”Brenda: “Oh, wow. I’ve done a real number on you.”Billy: “You were always there, looking out for me, protecting me, being strong for me. I never learned how to take care of myself. I mean, shit, Brenda, I’ve never even had a real girlfriend.”Brenda: “I never let you have a girlfriend? Oh, that’s good. That’s really. You fucking asshole!”Billy: “Okay, I thought we could have a rational discussion.”Brenda: “How dare you blame me for that, Billy?”Billy: “I’m not saying you did it on purpose. But I do think we need to disengage from each other, because our relationship is really toxic.”
