Ramona waves to Bethenny, who's on her phone while crossing the road. A car honks.
Bethenny: AAAH! Bye.
Ramona: You can't cross streets with the telephone. That's dangerous.
Bethenny: And eat... sandwiches.
Ramona: And eat. Hi, how are you?
Bethenny: Hi! Good! How are you?
Ramona: I'm good! (She rubs Bethenny's back as they walk towards the bridge.)
Bethenny: I've been starving. And I haven't had time to eat. It's actually a little cold out.
Ramona: I know. Thank God I had this.
Bethenny: Are you warm enough in it?
Ramona: Yeah! Yeah, 'cos it's like, velour. Are you stripping?
Bethenny: Yes, I'm stripping. It's hot!
Ramona: Put, put one of those things on, because...
Bethenny: No, this is enough. It's hot now. So... I called Jill.
Ramona: Right. Okay. You wanted to what?
Bethenny: I wanted to find out why this is getting so blown out of proportion, like why this was something that was a rift between us that now everybody on the island of Manhattan knows about including reporters, including bloggers...
Ramona: Well I still, just. Okay, but I just still, I feel, and I never said this to you, and I mean I really think you are a pressmonger, and I think you really planted it.
Bethenny: Okay! So...
Ramona: I just think, listen Bethenny, I just want to help you.
Bethenny: I can tell! You're doing wonderful! You're being so kind! You're so sweet! I really, I just feel warm and cosy all over I have to say.
Ramona: I just think you're very self-serving. I really do.
Bethenny: You last week twittered to 75,000 people about your HSN line you ingrateful person.
Ramona: I'm not ingrateful! I'm trying to have a conversation, see I can't even have a conversation with you!
Bethenny: You just said I don't do anything for other people! And you're not exactly the most warm and fuzzy person either!
Ramona: Well I don't know, at least I have friends. You have no friends. Who are your friends? You have nobody in your life. Right now you have Jason, you'll probably mess that up too.
(Cuts to confessional)
Bethenny: I don't know that anyone's ever said meaner things to me than that. I mean, I'm taking it personally. I'm in a good relationship, I'm in love.
(Cuts back to the Brooklyn Bridge.)
Bethenny: I'm not a normal person, I don't have any friends, so, y'know, I don't why you're even walking with me!
Ramona: 'Cos I'm trying to like, figure out what's going on with you! I just... There's a part of you...
Bethenny: You have a VERY interesting way of trying to figure out. And by the way, you just said I'm trying to help, and you said I'm trying to figure out. Yeah you have a very antagonistic, negative, rude way of doing that.
Ramona: If I can't be honest with someone then what's the point? A friendship is exchange. I've said nothing that was vicious to you.
Bethenny: You didn't ask me to come walk here, I asked you to walk here! You didn't say 'Bethenny I'd like to talk to you about something', you didn't say anything. I asked you a question, I said I followed your advice and called Jill and you just attacked me!
Ramona: You said Jill planted it, you were trying to blame it on Jill, and I just told you I felt that you did it.
\pause**
Ramona: Fine, I'm only talking to you one-on-one, and if it's upsetting you, fine! We'll discuss neutral things. Okay. What do you think about Obama's healthcare? \guffaws** Go on that one?
\pause**
Ramona: I did not, I upset you, I see that. I didn't mean to upset you, I'm sorry I upset you, that wasn't my intention to upset you, I just wanted to tell you how I felt and I'm sorry that it upset you by telling you how I feel and just next time you know what I just won't tell you how I feel and then and then they'll be, it'll be what it is, okay? So, what can I say? I'm sorry I upset you, it was never my intention, I wanted to have a discussion with you. You're upset about it...
Bethenny: It's just, I don't understand...
Ramona (interrupting): You know what? I guess. You know what? Really. You know what? Actually. I kind of made a mistake. Because really, you wanted to talk to me about Jill and instead of me listening to what you had to say I started talking about things and then it made you more sensitive than normal because you had a talk with her, we haven't even talked about that yet. You two have to meet.
Bethenny: I called Jill and we are done and that's the end of it.
Ramona: Wait, wait. Did you call her or did you see her?
Bethenny: I called her.
Ramona: Okay so can I just say something and don't be mad...
Bethenny: I called her to ask if we can see each other. It doesn't have to all go the way you say it's going to go. I had to find a way to talk to her. I called her, I said can we meet, alright? It doesn't all go Ramona's way!
Ramona: So did you meet her? Or are you going to meet her?
Bethenny: NO! She's not meeting me, she hung up, she had me on speaker for an audience and it doesn't matter because it's not - I don't want to win. I don't to win and her to lose because if I win and she loses, we all lose. I don't want to win! I just, she wants to win, she can win! She won! She has her whole army around her and she won! So I hope she's happy. That's how she operates, by thinking she's gonna win, yes she does! For all the bad that I am I didn't say to one person anything about this argument. Not one!
Ramona: Well let me just tell you something. You girls have to meet in person. I don't know how...
Bethenny: I honestly had no idea how bad it was. I was on a six month book tour, I had to write a second book in four months, start writing a third one, work isn't the most important thing but that's been what my life is. I've tried to establish a new relationship with someone and work on it and there are a couple of other personal things going on with me I can't discuss. I just wanted us to be friends and work it through. But it's not going to and we're not going to talk.
\cuts to confessional**
Ramona: I could not wait to get to the end of the bridge and enter Brooklyn. I never thought I would ever think this! I was actually excited to see Alex and Simon because I was hoping that they would break this mood because boy... we needed a new tempo here.
