Dylan/Hallie Break-up
From Rom Com
In this scene, Hallie starts to feel incredibly guilty over her cheating on Dylan with Nick and decides to admit that this happened to him. He is washing dishes (?) and doesn't seem to feel her confession worth stopping and paying attention to. She gets frustrated, and asks him if he even cares, to which his reply is to explain to her about his affair with Kati calmly and like it doesn't matter. Hallie gets very upset, and breaks up with him, telling him that she wanted to be with Nick all along. He still appears as though he doesn't care, but when she leaves he begins to fall apart and sing If I Loved You (reprise) from Carousel, along with a CD. She, on the other hand, appears very upset at first but as she's leaving Dylan's house she takes out her cell phone and calls Nick.
INT. House. Day.
Dylan, washing dishes. Long shot of dish-washing (there is a lot of soap). There is a portable CD player on the counter (Chadwick!). Eventually he turns on "If I Loved You", from Carousel. He may turn it on and off several times. Gentle knock on the door.
Come in.
As he is saying this, Hallie comes in the door. She looks sheepish. Dylan looks relieved to see her.
Oh, good, you're here. I've been meaning to talk to you for quite a while.
Hallie doesn't quite make eye contact. Dylan smiles at her. She comes forward and turns off the CD player.
Are you free to talk?
(Playfully.) We're talking right now, aren't we?
No, Toby, we haven't talked in a while. In a long time. (Pause.) I cheated on you. With William.
Dylan abruptly turns away and goes back to washing dishes.
Hello? Aren't you going to say something.
Dylan mutters something inaudible under the rush of the water.
I'm sorry?
I said that's fine, because I cheated on you with Emily. I wasn't sure I should tell you about it.
When was this?
I don't think that's really your business.(Pause.) Recently.
Was it last weekend?
Honestly, I'm not asking you what you did with William.
But I would tell you!
I don't want to know! (Pause. Quietly.) I don't want to hear about it.
