XLena: Honey, I realize you want sympathetic noises and not advice, so I'll only say this once. Get out of this relationship. It's poison.
Ellen: It's not
like that! I love him. And he still loves me, I know he does. I just... he could be a lot worse to me. He only slept around the once that I know of. He's never hit me.
Lena: I never minded hitting much. They say you're selfish or crazy or mean, that gets under your skin, oui? Because maybe you
are. But they start in hitting, you don't have to worry about who's wrong. Then you know.
Ellen: Rafe's not gonna hit me. He don't dare. I can
make this work. Ain't like I got something better to do or someplace else to go. An' I wouldn't leave if I could.
Lena: Maybe. But whether you change your mind or not, you're welcome here anytime.
Ellen: Really?
Lena: Really.
Ellen: Can I come tomorrow?
Lena: Once I finish work, I'm all yours.
Ellen: How soon do you finish? Do you work every day? If I come see you at work --
Lena: Ellie, don't make me regret that 'anytime'.
