Expressing Bitter Feelings 


Laurent: I’m done with women! They’re liars 1 and manipulators. 


Julie: Let me guess. You’ve had a bad breakup? 


Laurent: It wasn’t just bad. It was monumentally awful. I’m never going to date again. 


Julie: You’re just feeling bitter right now, but you’ll get over it. You won’t always feel so jaded 2. Wait a second. Did you break up with Brittany? 


Laurent: Yeah, I’ve told you about her before. 


Julie: I remember. Don’t you guys have an on-again, off-again relationship? I mean haven’t you guys broken up before? 


Laurent: Yeah, but this was the absolute end. We’re not getting back together. 


Julie: But didn’t you say that three months ago? Maybe there’s still a chance for reconciliation 3


Laurent: Absolutely not! Brittany walked all over me and didn’t care one iota 4 about my feelings. I’ll never talk to her again. As far as I’m concerned, she’s persona non grata! 


[Phone rings] 


Julie: Hello. Oh hi, Brittany. Yes, he’s here. It’s Brittany and she wants to talk to you. Do you want to talk to her? 


Laurent: Yes...no...yes! Oh, give me that phone!
