CLAIRE<br />
When have we ever avoided each<br />
other?<br />
FRANCIS<br />
I wanted to figure out a solution<br />

FRANCIS<br />
CLAIRE<br />
So they lied to your face.<br />
FRANCIS<br />

CLAIRE<br />

FRANCIS<br />
It was always a possibility. My<br />
mistake wasn’t in failing to<br />

miscalculating the risk. I thought<br />
it was almost impossible.<br />
CLAIRE<br />
You’re usually good at sussing out<br />
