Fast dialog: 16:40
Rachel: What you need to do is…
Logan: Stop bossing me around! I know what I’m doing so back off.
Rachel: What’s gotten into you? I’m not bossing you around. I’m trying to help you. Some people are so ungrateful.
Logan: It’s true that I’ve made my share of mistakes, but I don’t need you here to push me around calling all the shots.
Rachel: Here’s a reality check: Without me keeping an eye on you and steering you away from bad decisions, you’d be back in trouble again.
Logan: When I asked for your help, I’d forgotten how pushy and controlling you are. I’m not going to let you walk all over me like you did when we were kids.
Rachel: Who is trying to walk all over you? If you think I’m being high-handed then I’m out of here.
Logan: Good. I don’t know what possessed me to ask you for help in the first place.
Rachel: Well, things never change, do they?
Logan: Apparently not!
