Have to.

Or so we tell ourselves.

Some of us know it.

Some of us challenge even our own knowledge.

That saying is incredibly false.

Sure it is. Hey, aren't the power rangers on?

It is.

The power rangers?

Nevermind. So it isn't true. Not even if you commit suicide.

It might be true for some people, but you can't just say that the only people anyone has ever hurt is the people they loved. You don't only hurt the ones you love. Say, I committed suicide and hurt my mum, and her friend was upset because she was upset, and then her friend's daughter was upset because *her* mum was upset. I don't even know her daughter, but I've managed to hurt her.

You're certainly not hurting your enemies any.

That must be why I hurt daddy so much.

What is it that you think you really want?

Want?

I want to make a difference.

What does he want?

He wants me to make a difference too, but I heart him for other reasons.

Well, that's only natural.

Don't even start.

Hank hangs his head, before showing an evil smile.

Don't start what, Baileigh?

You know what. Just don't.

I don't know what to tell you.

An apology for spewing me up into the air when you know I'm scared of heights might be nice. And the grabbing me by the hair. I'm not your bitch and I don't know where the fuck you got the impression that I was.

I'm sorry.

Thank you.

I don't enjoy hurting you.

Then don't. It's very simple.

But I might kill you if you don't leave me alone.

Why?! Why the hell do you keep saying that?!

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Death; it's so beautiful. So peaceful. There is no suffering there. No hunger, no pain, no loss...

*Sighs* Okay. I? Don't want to die. If you try to kill me, I will be highly highly pissed at you. If you kill me I will spend the rest of my afterlife pestering the shit out of you. Do you understand?!

Are you asking me not to kill you?

Sure. Whatever. That works.

So be it.

Did I miss something?

Nothing that would interest you, I think.

Who is she?

It's not that serious.

Right.

What does it matter to you?

Maybe it doesn't. Why do you assume it doesn't?

Don't tell me you care about me.

In fairness I don't care about many. Am I interested in why you're trying to avoid the word love, yes.

Which is precisely why that dog wouldn't hunt.

Am I trying to avoid it?

...Hurt?

What about it?

"You only hurt the ones you hurt".

Certain things go without saying.
