Anatomy of an argument

Forget it.
Forget it?
Yes. Forget it.
I've forgotten it.
Really?
Really.
Truly.
Truly?
Yes. For pity's sake.
You forgot it quickly.
But you said ...
Forget it. Yes.
So I did.
You did. Oh, you did.
I did.
But too quickly.
What speed?
What?
What speed?
What? What? What?
What speed would ...?
Yes?
... you like me to ...?
I'm going to kill you.
... forget it at?
I have an axe.
Do you?
No. Not really.
I thought not.
Except. I do.
Show me.
I can't.
Why not?
It is a metaphor.
A metaphorical axe?
A metaphor for what?
My mother.
Your mother?
My mother.
I love you.
Do you?
If you don't ...
Don't what?
Don't call your mother.
I thought so.
You're always right.
I know I am.
Know you are what?
Don't start that.
Start what?
That. You know.
Know what?
I have an axe.
What?
Forget it.
