SALLY: "I'm tired of waitin' around for you to bring home money, Joey!"

JOEY: "C'mon, baby, don't be like that. This time things'll work out, just like I promised."

SALLY: "I've heard that all before, Joey!"

JOEY: "Baby, I'm closer than ever before! I'm gonna be big time. Heck, we BOTH will!"

SALLY: "Aw Joey, those're just more empty promises!"

Joey grabs her by the shoulders and shakes.

JOEY: "Why don't you believe in me?! Why? Why?!"

Joey raises his hand to backslap Sally.

Sally starts crying. She pushes Joey away.

SALLY: "Joey, you're scarin' me!"

Joey looks at her and then turns around, biting his lip.

JOEY: "Oh jeez...sorry, baby, I...I don't know what came over me..."
