The scotch tape goes flying …
JESSE:
Ow! Will ya stop and listen to me? I was with her before Christmas.
We were broken up, remember? I was stuck at my family's house
in California and I ran into Cici. We hung out a little, that’s all.

It wasn't like that Tia. You got it all wrong. We broke up,
you and me - remember?
TIA:
Liar! We never broke up. Who do you think you're dealing with?
I was there, you imbecile!
Tia grabs the candle.
JESSE:
But you weren't speaking to me! Put that down!
TIA:
That doesn't mean we broke up you moron!
RACOLO:
Hey! What’ going on in here? Give me that.
TIA:
I’m gonna throw it at him!
RACOLO:
You might break it. Now hand it over.
TIA:
… Listen to me Jesse Navale - it’s over. Do you hear me?
I never want to see your two-timing, double-crossing,
lying face again. I hate you. HATE YOU!
TIA:
… Get out of my way Racolo! I’m done here.
Tia leaves.
JESSE:
Cyndy? Dammit, I forgot about her … What are you looking at?
RACOLO:
She found you out, huh?
JESSE:
Yeah well, it’s no big deal. I mean, Cyndy and I, we just ... it was only one time. I didn't cheat on Tia cause we were broken up.
RACOLO:
Right. You were on a break.
JESSE:
What’s it to you anyway?
RACOLO:
Tia’s my kid sister.
JESSE:
Oh yeah ... crap - I forgot. You gonna kick my ass or something?
RACOLO:
Tia already took care of that.
JESSE:
Man her aim is good. But, she’ll get over it. She always does.
RACOLO:
You’re dreaming.
JESSE:
What do you know about it. She’ll forgive me.
Those other girls - that happened months ago …
RACOLO:
Doesn’t matter.
JESSE:
Oh yeah. All of a sudden you’re playing big brother? Well screw you! You don’t even know me.
RACOLO:
I was you. Now, stay away from my sister.
