B: Okay, let's not.

A: I'm cracking up. I can't take the strain.

B: I think you need a vacation.

A: We broke up.

B: How come?

A: It probably was my fault. I obviously wasn't paying attention to something I should have been.

B: Look, it isn't your fault. It's nobody's fault.

A: Would it embarrass you?

B: It wouldn't make me feel good. I'm not very good at hiding my feelings.

A: I know you're shocked by this news.

B:  No, I'm not shocked. I simply don't believe it.

A: I'd like to get home. My business didn't go well.

B: That's awful. You look so pale and tired.

A: Would talking help?

B: I can't. Everything's so locked up and painful.
