She beg s  OSCAR  to just kiss her before she confesses her true love to him , which  he  agree s to do. How ever, just as expected she get s extreme l y angry.  OSCAR  say s she told him  to do i t, but then she asks  him  if  he  ’ d jump off a b ridge if she told  him  to. After that t h  e y start arguing a gain.
