Interactive Video Activity: Jan and Ken

Ken: Why did you tell Shannon about what happened between Katie and me? Now Shannon doesn't want to talk to me.

Jan: Ken, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to tell her. It just kind of slipped out when we were talking.

Ken: Sorry, sorry is not enough. I told you that in private, and you promised that you'd keep it just between you and me.

Jan: Ken, I told her that long before the two of you even started dating. You know Shannon and I we've been friends for a long time. We were just talking about guys and cheating and stuff, it wasn't about you specifically.

Ken: It wasn't about me, it was totally about me. You had no right to tell anyone that under any circumstance. Now Shannon doesn't trust me, she thinks I'm a low life who sleeps around.

Jan: Well, I'm sorry but the two of you weren't even dating yet.

Ken: But that's irrelevant. You know and it'd be irrelevant even if Shannon and i weren't dating. But you know the point is I thought I could trust you and tell you anything and that it would go no further.

Jan: Yeah, like the time I told you I was thinking about dropping out of school for a semester and you just happened to tell my dad.

Ken: Oh that's not the same thing.

Jan: You know what it's exactly the same. I trusted you and you squealed. My dad lit into me big time. He never should have known I was thinking about that. I trusted you and you betrayed me.

Ken: You know look I was just trying to look out for you. Now I knew you were making a big mistake and i was just trying to stop you and besides you know i was right. Don't change the subject here. Are you saying that you telling Shannon what is it some sort of a payback for me telling your dad?

Jan: No I'm just trying to point out that you've got no right to throw stones.

Ken: You know what then maybe neither one of us can trust the other. Maybe we shouldn't tell each other anything that we don't want broadcast to the world huh?

Jan: Don't be such a jerk. I'm sorry ok.

Ken: It's not good enough. You ruined any chance I had with her.

Jan: Are saying that something that I said about what you did a long time ago is ruining your chances?

Ken: Yeah it might.

Jan: Ken, if she truly valued your friendship, something that you did a long time ago shouldn't matter.

Ken: Well, maybe you're right.

Jan: Look I said I'm sorry and I meant it. I'm also sorry about you know throwing in what you told me dad. I know that wasn't fair but you know you really hurt my feelings when you blew up at me like that.

Ken: Listen, listen I shouldn't have told your dad. I should have probably encouraged you to talk to him. Are we still friends
