‘Jack, just stop.’
‘Stop what?’
‘Your performance. Just be yourself.’
‘I’ve no idea what you’re talking about.’
‘You’re playing a role; acting as you think others expect

‘Stop talking rot.’
‘Then it’s to your own hackneyed script.’
‘Seriously, Jane, what the fuck are you talking about?’
‘Now that’s more like it! There’s the real Jack.’
‘Fuck-off, bitch.’
‘You’re living your life through stories rather than just
being who you are.’
‘So are you. So are all of us. We're all character actors.’
‘But is it worth it? Always compromising?’
‘Chloe isn’t a compromise.’
‘When you really want Tom?’
