In which Nick derails the (ironic) conversation about how he’s the worst boyfriend ever.
NICK: Do I deny you lovely things?

NICK: Well, tigers.
ME: I’ve never asked for a tiger.
NICK: Okay, then. Marmosets.
ME: Marmosets? When did I ask for a marmoset? I don’t want a marmoset!
NICK: Well, such things, anyway.
ME: So, I asked for something “such as” a marmoset, and you denied me?

NICK: That’s what I do, Treena. I shift the terrain. And then it becomes my field of conquest.
ME: . . .
