[Scene: Nick's Apartment. Mallory has just found Skippy standing outside of the
door, when she was trying to run out of the apartment.]

Skippy: Alex told me you were breaking up with Nick.
Mallory: He did?
Skippy: Yes.
Mallory: Well. I did break up with him.
Skippy: Why were you running out though?
Mallory: I found a girl in Nick's bathroom.
[Nick runs out into the hallway]
Nick: Mallory, I can explain!
Mallory: Nick, I really don't need or want your explanation.
Nick: What does that mean?
Mallory: It means you're dumped. Skippy, take me home.
Skippy: Are you sure? Didn't you drive here yourself?
(Mallory grabs Skippy and starts kissing him)
Nick: Mal, what are you doing?
Mallory: Kissing the person that's always been there for me, no matter what.
Nick: You aren't serious, right?
Mallory: No Nick, I'm very serious.
Nick: Well, call me when you get back to normal.
Mallory: Nick, I won't be calling you again. I won't be SPEAKING to you again.
[Scene: The Living Room. Mallory & Skippy are talking]

Mallory: Skippy. why do you like me so much? And for all these years?
Skippy: You are so sweet. and pretty. and intelligent. well, compared to me at
least.
[Mallory laughs, and Jennifer walks in the room]

Jennifer: She couldn't come home by herself?
Mallory: It was so romantic Jen, Nick and me broke up, and Skippy was there to
pick up the pieces.
Jennifer: (sarcastically) Gag me!
Mallory: Jennifer, may we have a moment alone?
Jennifer: I don't know, what were you planning on doing?
Mallory: Jennifer!
Jennifer: Alright, I'll leave.
