Matt
Thanks.
CAITLIN
That's dirty.
MATT
Your point?
CAITLIN
Take it off.
Matt starts to take the shirt off.
MATT
If you say so.
CAITLIN
Not what I meant.
MATT
Then stop nagging me about you not doing the laundry.
CAITLIN
Well I'd do it if I could find your goddamn clothes.
MATT
Then take it.
Matt takes the shirt off, throws it at Caitlin, and leaves. Caitlin sits in the same position the scene started in. Caitlin stuffs the shirt back where it was and takes out a deck of cards. She sits on the floor in front of the couch and deals a game of blackjack. Matt comes back in and sits down across from her, one shoe off. They play the hand quickly.
CAITLIN
Dammit!
She takes off her sweatshirt.
CAITLIN
Can we not play this?
MATT
What? It's not like we've never seen each other like this.
CAITLIN
It's just...I dunno, gross.
MATT
Why? It's a game.
CAITLIN
Because it is, okay?
Caitlin picks up her sweatshirt and goes to put it back on. Matt tears it from her hands and throws it on the ground. He begins to deal the next hand.
MATT
Stop it. You agreed to play. Just suck it up.
Caitlin stands up, disgusted, picks up her sweatshirt, and kicks the cards everywhere. She picks up the box and sits back down. Matt picks up as many cards as he can and leaves. Caitlin stuffs the box back in its place. She then takes out a necklace. Matt walks in, dressed much nicer. Caitlin stands up.
CAITLIN
What is this?
MATT
You weren't supposed to find that.
CAITLIN
Why? Who's is it?
MATT
It's...uh...
CAITLIN
Who's is it?!
MATT
It's for you!
CAITLIN
Oh bullshit! Get out!
She takes the shirt and cards from the couch and throws them at him. He leaves. She sits on the couch with her head in her hands, the necklace still wrapped in her fingers. There's a knock.
CAITLIN
What?
Matt walks in, he has a coat on. Caitlin doesn't look at him.
MATT
I left some things here after...yeah. I just wanted to pick them up.
He picks up the box and the shirt. She watches him. Then he notices the necklace.
MATT
Do you still want that?
CAITLIN
What?
MATT
The necklace. It was for you. Do you still want it or should I just get out?
CAITLIN
Just get out.
Matt goes towards the door. Caitlin stands up.
CAITLIN
It's for me?
MATT
Yep.
CAITLIN
Why?
MATT
Because.
CAITLIN
You have somewhere to be?
MATT
Nope.
CAITLIN
Stay.
-Matt
