The Shining Gatsby

Are you concerned about me? Yes I'm talking to you Daisy. What should be done with him? Our situation with Tom is very dim. I don't think thats true. You only loved me. Now stop with this vile spew! Come get in my golden car and let us flee. I think you have some very definite ideas about what should be done with Tom! And yes, next time I will remain calm. Oh look out! You hit her- quickly take that route! So you think Myrtle's health might be at stake? Well you shouldn't have run her over for God's sake! Now you say you are shaking from this incident with the car. Of course you are! So now you say you want to be left alone... Have you ever had a single moment's thought about my responsibilities? Daisy I have pledged myself to your own! I promised to fight off every man, to overcome all hostilities! Daisy has it ever occurred to you that I have agreed to look after you? That I have signed a letter of agreement, a contract! For your sake my whole life is driven, myself made anew. But I will wait for tomorrow- then, our union shall be made exact.
