      • Tom: Where were you?
      • Jessie: It's a pretty weird thing you're suggesting if you're saying what I think you're saying. I haven't told you to f@ck off or anything, which I probably should've. Nothing happened, OK? I'd tell you.
      • Tom: You couldn't.
      • Jessie: Yes, I could. You OK now?
