Richard: "I don't know what Eric has told you, but our relationship is just fine. We don't need to fix anything." Kari: "If you want to be in a relationship with me, then you are going to respect me as a person. We need to fix some things wrong with this relationship." Richard: "I agree." he said. His eyes darkened. "Starting with your friend." Kari: "That's enough!" Kari yelled. She moved forward. "Eric is my friend." Richard: "Just a friend?" Kari: "Better than you! What is your problem with him?" Richard: "He likes you! How am I supposed to be your boyfriend if he keeps getting in the way?" Kari: "I liked you because at first, you didn't seem like that, Richard. Now, now you just act like you can push me around." Richard: "Kari, I didn't mean for it to come across that way, I just wanted to protect you from people who are-. Sorry, I shouldn't bring up who I'm talking about." Kari: "Listen, I like you so very much, but at the same time I feel as if you don't respect me. Richard, I want to tell you that we are going to have to make some changes on the way we treat each other." Richard: "I can't be in a relationship with someone who moons over someone else! You have to choose one of us now, which one of us are you going to date?" Kari: "There isn't any reason why I can't have both of you in my life. And if you really were my boyfriend, wouldn't you respect that I actually do have other friends?" Richard: "Well now, you don't have to worry about it." Richard seethed. "We're done."
