In return, Eric replies to Mark that he is just a good friend and how Mark could think that cheap of her, the debate continues for a few more second, and finally, Eric says that she is breaking up with Mark.
Before leaving the club, Erica says to mark that you may be successful and popular in the future but you will be living a whole life in myth thinking girls don’t like you – which is not true but you are a cheap guy – that’s a fact!
