"Not Broken Anymore"

Sadie is sitting at a bar. She's pretty sad and trying to figure out life after a failed relationship and getting let go. There's a someone a few seats away from her, Scott. He keeps looking over but is also trying to mind his own business while watching the TVs. 

Sadie: Hi. Yeah. This is going to sound so stupid. I promise I'm not on drugs

Scott: Shoot.

Sadie: "Can you tell me that you're real?"

Scott: As far as I know I am. That doesn't count existentialism. 

Sadie: Thanks. 

Scott: Can I ask why you're asking? 

Sadie: "So I can really know that everything I feel I can finally show."

Scott: Why can't you show how you feel?

Sadie: Society? 

Scott: Okay, yeah that tracks. 

Sadie: I just need to know you're real so that the person "standing next to me" is not just imaginary. Someone I made up to deal with all the emotions. You know?

Scott: No. But "the person I can be" generally believes in weird shit so I can dig it. Are you waiting on anyone?

Sadie: No. People aren't interested in doing something like this on a Wednesday. It's probably healthier that way. 

Scott: Cool. Well my friend "is finally here and he won't back down" so I have to go meet him.

Sadie: Have fun with that. Thanks for proving you were real or whatever. 

Scott: You want to join us? He just got out of a relationship and is a little rough around the edges. You don't even have to talk "at all" because I'm going to guess it's going to be mopey. 

Sadie: Okay. Thanks. I'll join you. I’m kind of mopey too. A lot has happened this week. "But I can't stop thinking how you just keep making" my night slightly better. Why are you being so nice to me?

Scott: You seem like a good person. Who might be in pain tonight? 

Sadie: It's obvious?

Scott: Not to most. I got a "sense of all that was broken before" you started talking to me. You're practically on the verge of crying. 

Sadie: How are you…?

Scott: I have three sisters. I know when women are putting up a front. You shouldn't have to. 

Sadie: Alrighty then. I guess "I won't keep faking."

Scott: Don’t!

Sadie: "'Cause I'm done with taking" from people who don't matter to me at all. 

Scott: Be with someone who wants to be "with you."

Sadie: Thanks. I don't know your name and stop. I don't want to know your name. This should just be a fun thing that happened. You helped me. "I'm not broken anymore."
