JD: I just wanted to thank you for saving my
life and Ghost and all that.
Kevin: No problem at all. In fact, I ran
into Ghost recently.
JD: Yeah, I was afraid of that. I'm sorry. I
mean...
Kevin: There's no need to be sorry. He's a
decent guy.
JD: Yeah. I wanted to thank you for helping,
but I wanted to also let you know that I just wish you wouldn't have.
Kevin: (dumbstruck) I'm not following you.
JD: Well, I've been thinking a lot about
this. Our worlds are just very different, you and I. You know how to act and
what to say and which fork to use, and all that. I don't know any of that stuff.
And I'm not ever going to learn any of that stuff, OK? I only know one thing,
but I'm very good at it. And that's how to survive. And I don't need any help
with that. OK? I want you to just... I know you mean very well, but I want you
to stop trying to help me and stop trying to save me. I mean it. I can take care
of myself, I've been doing it a long time. And I'm kind of a jinx. You're going
to get in all kinds of trouble, and hurt... or worse. I don't want that to
happen. I'm not worth it. I want you to just knock it off. I want you to stop
trying to help me. Like I said, your world and mine don't mix. I don't want you
doing things you wouldn't do. And you wouldn't have done any of that stuff if it
wasn't for me, right? You're doing it because of me and you don't owe me
anything. I just want you to know that.
JD looks at Kevin, waiting for some kind of response. He's nonplussed; she
gets none.
JD: Don't give me the sad eyes.
Kevin: I'm sorry. I'm sorry! It's just... I
just wasn't expecting this. But I respect your wishes, and I'm... starting to
see -- very clearly -- that we do hang around in different circles.
JD: Like I said, you don't owe me anything.
Actually, I owe you. You and I both know that I could not have taken a second
bullet. (She kisses him on the cheek, then whispers to him:) I owe you
one. Big time.
Kevin: (whispering to JD) I'll
respect your wishes, but I do disagree with one thing -- you are worth it.
