Man: You go that way. You go that way.
Woman: (dragging cardboard on sidewalk) I don’t wanna go that way. Don’t tell me to go that way.
Man: Which way do you want to go?
Woman: That way.
Man: Well, go that way, then.
Woman: No, don’t tell me which way to go. I know where to go.
Man: Where are you going?
Woman: You don’t have to know everything. You don’t have to know where. Why do you need to know that, huh? Rick? Why do you always need to know everything? (crying)
Man: I’m going this way. You go wherever you want, okay? See, I’m walking away. (footsteps on 15th Street)
Woman: Don’t go! Don’t go!
