Julie: Maybe for you. But for him? Did you know he texted me for a while?

Imogen: What?

Julie: Not in a sleazy way. It was just about the internship at his dad's company at first.

That's vaguely familiar.

Julie: Then, you ended things, and he wanted to "check up on you." I didn't have the heart to tell him you seemed totally unbothered by the breakup. So I told him you missed him, but you knew ending things was the right thing to do. He kept begging me for explanations. I guess he didn't understand what happened, and he thought I would.

Imogen: He shouldn't have done that.

Julie: Maybe. But I didn't mind. He's a nice guy.

Imogen: He's a blowhard.

Julie: Oh, you mean you didn't want to hear him compare himself to the Joker and talk about what an epic film Joker was, again?

Imogen: Somehow, no.

Julie: There wasn't any funny business. Just so you know.

Imogen: I know.

Julie: How? He was good-looking. He paid attention to me. He could have done the wrong thing.

Imogen: Because I know he wouldn't. And I know you'd never do that to me.

Julie: That is true. The last part. The first, probably. But I'd never do anything to hurt you. Not on purpose. Are you mad? Don't be mad. I was going to tell you, but you got weird and I didn't know how to broach it.

Imogen: I'm not mad.

Julie: So you're hiding something big?

Imogen: How do you figure?

Julie: You should be mad.

Imogen: He approached you, right?

Julie: Yeah, he was crazy in love with you. Just couldn't get over it.

Imogen: He didn't really know me.

Julie: I saw that pretty quickly. The way he described you, I always thought, no way he's talking about my sister, Imogen, the badass who lectures me about Fiona Apple?

Imogen: Am I that much of a broken record?

Julie: A broken Fiona Apple record, yes.

Imogen: Patrick said the same thing.

Julie: Aww, you listened to Fiona together? True love.

Imogen: Not Fiona yet, actually. But he listened on his own. And we listened to something he loved.

Sorta.

Julie: Does he have bad taste?
