LUKE: I guess my expectations were too high. Hoping to find answers and getting more problems.

No.26 (front)
Phil is asking Jen where she is going to look for Luke?! She says she's going to go to Luke's friends houses, but Phil says she could just ring them(!)
PHIL: I think you're copping out. I think you're using Luke as an excuse to run away. You're making a fool of yourself, Jen.
JEN: Thanks a lot!
PHIL: Luke is not some little lost boy. He is a grown man and if he doesn't want to get in contact with you, that's his decision! He will get in touch with you when he's ready!
JEN: He is *my* responsibility!
PHIL: No, he is not!
JEN: I have to find him!
PHIL: You have other responsibilities now. Our relationship for one, what about that?
JEN: Look, I can't think of that now!
PHIL: Because you don't want to! What is going on, Jen?! This is crazy!
JEN: You just don't understand, do you?!
PHIL: I *can't* understand! You're not making any sense!
JEN: Then maybe what we had is over!
Phil looks shocked.
JEN: Because if we were on the same wavelength, you would understand why I'm doing this! Now, will you take me to the station?!
PHIL: No! I won't have anything to do with this madness. A year's study and hard work and you're tipping it down the drain! Not to mention our relationship.
JEN: Looks like I'm walking.
She walks away down Ramsay Street.
PHIL:(calling after her) Jen, I've had enough of this! If you leave now, don't expect to be welcome when you come back.
Jen keeps walking.
