All I Want Is Everything – Kit
Shane: It’s not okay to break anybody’s heart, Gabby. I never feel good-
Gabby: Well neither do I!!! Especially when it’s Alice!
Everyone can see the look in Gabby’s eyes. They can see the knot in her throat as she speaks. For once they can actually feel the words.
Gabby: You think I wanted this??? I wanted everything to be perfect! I wanted to be able to live that life that Bette and Tina have! Everybody loves them! Everybody cares about them! They get all the attention and it’s all positive, all the damn time!!! After a while, I start to think, maybe I’m not as important. Maybe the rest of us aren’t as important! They’re such a high… damn standard around here that the rest of us are almost irrelevant by comparison! I know that sounds like a lame excuse, but I admit it. I cracked under the pressure. I can never be that important! I can never be that good! I can never be that loved and I’m not sure anybody else in this room can be, either! Not even Dana and everybody loves Dana!
Dana appears genuinely confused.
Dana: What?
Gabby: Guys… I don’t know what to do. I tried to be that perfect example and I couldn’t live up to it. I can’t live up to Bette and Tina. I can’t live up to Dana. I’ll never live up to Shane no matter what she does. I can never be as awesome as you, Al. I can never do enough. So yeah… I stopped trying. I stopped trying to be as perfect as I can be.
Gabby looks down, ready to break down in front of everyone.
Gabby: And I just kept screwing up until I was… back under Nadia.
There is initial silence. Kit surveys the room, waiting for the reaction. Jenny leans over to Gabby.
Jenny: Don’t try to be perfect. Just try to be you. You are great on your own accord. I’m sorry I haven’t been there for you lately. I was mad at you for how you treated Alice. All of us were.
