What, Grace... this?
GRACE
Yes, you know how I feel about it --
TRIP
I know I know I'll do it right now, alright?!
GRACE
You know I've had to ask you about this several --

Get off my back! I'll get rid of it in just a minute!
GRACE
Fine, Trip... fine...
(Trip opens the front door.)
TRIP

Hey! I thought I heard someone out here! Great to see you! It's been a while, how's it going?

Hi! How are you? I'm so happy to see you after so long!

And I have to say, you look great.

Well, come on in, make yourself at home!
ADAM
Trip, why'd you wake me up?

Anything you want!

How about a martini?

The guy I play squash with introduced me to this drink, it's really -- (interrupted)
ADAM
Yup.
TRIP
Ah! I knew it.
TRIP
Beautiful!
GRACE
Adam, I think you'd prefer something simple and light, like a nice glass of chardonnay, yes?
TRIP
Grace... come on...!
ADAM
Yes.
GRACE
Okay, Trip, that's what he wants!
TRIP
Yeah, sure, sure, okay...
TRIP
We can try my new roostertail accessories some other time.
ADAM
Trip, listen to me.
TRIP
Grace, maybe at least you'll drink with me? I'll make us something -- (interrupted)
TRIP
Wait...
ADAM
You woke me up.
TRIP
You think I'm...

Shut up, tonight?

Jesus christ.
TRIP
(big sigh)
TRIP
Uhh, any -- anyway, uh... what were we talking about?
(ADAM points to the wedding photo.)
GRACE
Yeah, ha, maybe you can give me your honest opinion about where I went wrong with my new decorating, uhh...
TRIP
Oh, Grace, no, no, h -- how can you say that?
GRACE
(little sigh)
ADAM
Needs less black.
GRACE
Oh, um, well... I -- I want to ask you...
GRACE
Uhh, you know, when I look at this wedding picture, hanging here in this room...
TRIP
Oh yeah, yeah, it -- it's the first thing everyone notices when they come in!
GRACE
it simply... doesn't go anymore... I mean, with my new decorating and all.
TRIP
Oh no, no... Adam, it looks good here...
(ADAM picks up the phone.)
TRIP
Grace, everything's fine, no one is complaining about your decorating...
(ADAM puts down the phone.)
(ADAM uses the answering machine.)
ANSWERING MACHINE
No new messages
GRACE
Trip, I'm sorry but this room is just not working... I'm going to return what furniture I can, and redo it.
(ADAM uses the answering machine.)
ANSWERING MACHINE
No new messages
TRIP
(annoyed sigh) God, you're such a perfectionist.
GRACE
Oh I didn't want my decorating to become a major topic of conversation tonight... I'm going to get it redone this week, so...
ADAM
So, why'd you call me here?
TRIP
Anyway...
TRIP
Grace, come on, it's not helping things for you to say that... -- (interrupted)
ADAM
Answer me.
TRIP
W -- wait, wait, b - but, no no, w - we're -- we're not disagreeing.
GRACE
(happy but tense sigh)
GRACE
Adam,
GRACE
you and I are getting along so well tonight...
ADAM
What
GRACE
Stay there for a -- (interrupted)
GRACE
W -- well, wait, stay there for a sec.
GRACE
Ugh, I'm getting so tired of looking at this god awful couch.
GRACE
Maybe if I replaced it with... um...
TRIP
Do you... do you remember, Grace...
ADAM
A stripper pole
GRACE
What.
TRIP
How I proposed to you.
GRACE
Oh, God, Trip --
TRIP
Here, Adam, I'll show you.
TRIP
It was at Grace's parents' house, Christmas, senior year of college --
GRACE
Trip, what are you doing?!
TRIP
I got on one knee, in front of everybody, and --
GRACE
Stop it, Trip!
TRIP
I pulled out a diamond ring --
GRACE
Trip!
TRIP
And I said, Grace, will you marry me?
TRIP
Heh, is -- is that romantic or what?!
TRIP
Adam, -- (interrupted)
ADAM
Sure
GRACE
Oh, God, Adam, you think this is romantic? (frustrated sigh)
TRIP
Grace, our friend agrees, what could be more romantic than that?
ADAM
I know i'm tired as hell.
GRACE
No, no no no, that was just really, really embarrassing...
TRIP
Grace, I -- I just wanted to share that moment with our friend.
(ADAM sits on the couch.)
TRIP
Okay, well, I was worried there for a bit you were on Grace's side tonight, heh heh, heh.
(ADAM gets up from the couch.)
TRIP
Oh, Adam, I thought you might like this photo I just put up from our recent trip to Italy.
GRACE
Uhh, it's a beautiful picture of the Italian countryside, of course he'll like it!
ADAM
I can't even see it
TRIP
Oh, you'll never guess where I took that picture.
GRACE
Is this really something you want to brag about, Trip?
TRIP
(little sigh) -- (interrupted)
ADAM
No I won''t
TRIP
Oh, okay...
GRACE
By the way, anybody, join me on the couch if you like.
GRACE
Adam, this is making you uncomfortable. See Trip, was it really worth it to fly us all the way to Italy so you could take that inane picture?
(ADAM sits on the couch.)
GRACE
(little sigh) I'll take the picture down later tonight before I go to bed.
TRIP
Grace...!
TRIP
(short petulant sigh)
TRIP
Adam, this trip to Italy was meant to be our second honeymoon.
GRACE
Oh, was that what it was? Huh, I'm always the last to know.
TRIP
Grace, I wanted us to spend some time together...!
ADAM
Holy stuff if you guys start arguing
TRIP
Uhh, you're driving me insane!
TRIP
Goddamn italy...
TRIP
I try to reach out to you, I try to be romantic with you, but you're cold, and distant! I do, I really try!
GRACE
(impatient sigh) Adam, I...
GRACE
(frustrated sigh)
TRIP
Oh, yeah, you...
TRIP
I know what you're about to say...
TRIP
All your goddamn over brown townytical explanations...!
ADAM
SHUT THE forget UP
GRACE
What?!? That's really rude, where did that come from? You're acting crazy!
ADAM
YOUR MOM
TRIP
What, what's that, what are you saying, what?
GRACE
Every woman's dream...
GRACE
Trip, you think you're so romantic... but no you're trying to manipulate me! -- (interrupted)
TRIP
Oh, Jesus...! -- (interrupted)
ADAM
shut up, both of you.
TRIP
Okay, Adam, you know what? I think you should leave.
ADAM
forget YOU
TRIP
We can put up with a lot, but we have our limits, you know?
ADAM
YES I SHOULD
ADAM
Let go friend.
(Trip opens the front door.)
TRIP
We'll be fine -- just go.
(Trip closes the front door.)
ADAM
forget you.
(ADAM points to the elevator button.)
(ADAM points to the elevator button.)
This is because of the fact that the opening cutscene is him calling you.
