CAROL: (concerned) Oh, Maddie, I'm so sorry. What are you going to do?

TROY and FIONA leave, and MADDIE is left alone, feeling devastated and angry.

CAROL: (concerned) Maddie, are you okay? You've been really upset since you broke up with Troy.

MADDIE: (coldly) Just get out.

TROY: (pleading) Maddie, don't be like that...

The play opens with a conversation between two friends, MADDIE and CAROL, who are discussing their lives and relationships. MADDIE is a strong-willed and independent woman, while CAROL is more timid and unsure of herself.

MADDIE: (cutting him off) No, you listen. I want you out of my life. I want you out of my life for good.

MADDIE: (angrily) And to make matters worse, Troy's been acting really strange lately. I swear, he's been cheating on me.
