RHET What do you want? I’m obsessed with you! I spend entire nights drawing pictures of you!

MADELYN You’ve done that since we were kids.

RHET These are different.

MADELYN How?

RHET We’re not kids anymore.

MADELYN Can I see them?

RHET They’re...private.

MADELYN But they’re of me.

RHET Yes.

MADELYN I want to see them.

RHET You wouldn’t show me your diary, would you?

MADELYN That’s not the same thing.

RHET Do you write about me?

MADELYN That’s none of your business.

RHET Well...

MADELYN That’s not the same thing.

RHET Yes, it is.

MADELYN I’m muddy and smelly in them. That’s why you won’t show them to me.

RHET Only in the first one.

MADELYN I knew it!

RHET But I like you like that.

MADELYN I want to see them.

RHET I can’t show them to you.

MADELYN Why?

RHET I’m embarrassed.

MADELYN Embarrassed?

RHET Yes.

MADELYN That’s why you won’t take me to the mill.

RHET What?

MADELYN I embarrass you!

RHET No.

MADELYN You don’t want to be seen with me!

(MADELYN starts to leave.)

RHET Where are you going?

MADELYN Home!

RHET Wait!

MADELYN I don’t want to gross you out!

RHET You don’t have any clothes on!
