“I’ve simply been reacting to you”


Do you agree with CC when she says this? I don’t. The way I see it, she and Hillary both were acting and reacting.

reply

No, I watched this for about the 20th time last night and I always maintain that Hilary was the one doing the bitching. CC did have a few digs about Hilary being a stay at home wife but it came across to me from the word go that Hilary had a huge problem with CC's success.

reply

I agree too, Hillary was "insanely" jealous. Even when CC wrote we had a fight so what the Bitch still wouldn't write back. She says she didn't know how fight back but she sure held up her
part of the arguement.

reply

No I don't. CC was trying to reconnect to the friend she shared an apartment with and Hillary was being critical of her success. I never cry when she dies.

reply

When a character dies, I think the audience mostly cries about the other characters' response to the death.

reply

They both were being bitchy, but it was definitely Hillary that started it. She was miserable in her marriage and had a huge chip on her shoulder and she took it out on her best friend. Perhaps CC could have asked sooner, "What is your problem" instead of them engaging in their passive-aggressive behavior for several days. But the situation finally came to a head regardless.
