In excerpts already played to the jury, Wright can be heard saying she wanted to leave a number of times but the two continued to talk and drink.
Despite most of their discussion remaining jovial, at one point Wright threatened to call police while Tostee accused her of beating him for no reason.
"Are you going to f***ing untie me because I will f***ing destroy your jaw," Wright says.
"I should have never given you so much to drink," Tostee later remarks.

Wright's mother Beth broke down as Cash described how her daughter was allegedly choked as Tostee restrained her.
"You're lucky I haven't chucked you off my balcony you God damn psycho b****," Tostee told Wright.

Gabriele Collyer-Wiedner, who lived in the unit directly below Tostee's, said she was woken at about 2am to the sound of furniture banging when she looked out onto her balcony and saw Ms Wright's feet pointing at her.
"Legs came down and dangled in the air," she recalled.
"I froze there, then the body fell on my balcony railing."
