HELEN
Joan... what's the matter? Did I do something wrong?

JOAN
God... Look at you. It would be so easy to say, "No." It would be so easy to never have this conversation. To never acknowledge... what happened. We could just keep doing this, like, awkward dance. It didn't even occur to you... You're so... oblivious. How do you do that?

HELEN
Do what?

JOAN
I've known you for a very long time, and I've always wondered...

HELEN
...What?

JOAN
Is ignorance really bliss?

HELEN
What's that supposed to mean? Are you calling me stupid?

JOAN
It happened right here, you know.

HELEN
What did?

JOAN
You aren't stupid. Stop acting like you are.
