INTERIOR – ALICE’S HOUSE – MORNING Tinas sitting by the window looking outside wrapped in deep thought, a second later she glances at Alice who is on the couch asleep, then to the love chart on the wall. She stands up walking towards the chart, examining the names on it with blank eyes. She raises her hand timidly, fingers wandering over Bettes… And you might say, that you need me no more. And you might say, that weve been here before. And you might say, we got no place to go. And you might say…….. But i say… Grabbing the rubber in rage Tina starts erasing the board. Shanes name first, then all names, one by one.. Cleaning everything, leaving Bettes and hers only behind. Finished, she closes her eyes, taking a deep breath and two steps back. Tilting her head she opens her eyes slowly, looking at their names, linked to each other as it should be.. as always.. Tina: I.. Bette.. And you might say, that the well has gone dry. And you might say, that we were living a lie. And you might say, that you dont want to try. And you might say… that its over……… But i say please… Please… A step forward, she erases her name off of the board.. Dropping rubber to the ground she cries unable to control her tears anymore. One last glance to the board where once the love chart was existing, now almost empty as her soul just with Bettes name alone on it.. Her shoulders slumped, her face is streaked with tears, Tina inhales trying to fill her lungs with something fresh and keep her emotions under control but failing miserably… I say please… A sob escaping her lips she quickly reaches for her jacket and car keys whichre over the dining table, tiptoes to Alice careful not to wake her up, kisses her cheek softly then she storms out with sheer determination written on her face. Please……… INTERIOR – DANA’S HOUSE – MORNING Danas in bed with Tonya, whose arms & legs are all over Danas stilled body, holding her in a tight grip as if Dana will slip and run away. Eyeing Tonyas hands, Claws Dana thinks.. She has claws She turns her head to side looking at Tonyas face for few seconds, then she turns to the other side, this time her face sour and strained as if in deep pain, she closes her eyes. Tonya stirs up a little. But I say.. EXTERIOR – SHANE’S TOYOTA – MORNING Shanes laying on the front seat of her truck, staring at the bracelet Cherry gave to her which is now attached to the rearview mirror of her Toyota. Outstreching from her laying position to give a flick to it, she then leans back, watching the swaying movement. Please… INTERIOR – TIM’S GARAGE – MORNING Gene and Robin at Jennys room still sleeping. Robin flutters her eyes open. But.. I say… INTERIOR – MARINA’S HOUSE – MORNING Marinas in the bathroom, sitting on the closet, a bottle in her hand. A beat later she opens the lid emptying the contents of the bottle to her palm she quickly downs them keeping her head up staring at the ceiling, she starts chewing the pills. I say… EXTERIOR – MARINA’S HOUSE – MORNING Jenny is at outside, hands in her pockets standing before Marinas door, contemplating what to do next. Hesitantly she moves towards the door.. raises her fist, knocking it. Please… EXTERIOR – KIT’S HOUSE – MORNING Loud knocking at the front door. Kit comes to open it. Tina’s standing there. Kit: Tina? What are you doing here so early? Tina: Uh.. Kit, i need your help. More than ever. Can i come in? Kit (raises her eyebrows, moves to side): Of course do you need to ask. INTERIOR – CANDACE’S HOUSE – MORNING So I ran faster.. but it caught me here Yes my loyalties turned like my ankle In the seventh grade Running after Billy Running after the rain.. These precious things, let them bleed let them wash away These precious things, let them break their hold over me ****** Bette is awake and dressed, leaning over, her head hung between her arms which are opened to her sides shes holding on to window frame. Candace (approaches from behind, circling Bettes waist): A penny for your thoughts. Bette (not moving -sarcastic): What about another nail on my coffin miss carpenter? Im sure you have one more. Candace (moves away after a beat): Tell you the truth, i have many but i prefer spending them on something worthy. Bette (still leaning on the window frame): That was not what you were saying last night. Candace (frustrated): And if i remember right, another nail on your coffin was not what you had asked for the last night. Bette tries to smile but instead with a sudden sharp intake of breath she breaks down in tears, only movement is the continued shaking of her shoulders from her heavy sobbing. Sliding down on her knees she keeps holding the window frame. Candace (reaching out): Bette… Bette continues sobbing, ignoring Candaces voice. Bette (shaking with sobs): God.. Shes gone.. shes gone.. oh god help me please it hurts.. shes gone.. Candace (bends down, hugging Bette): Shhh.. Im sorry.. Bette im so sorry.. Candace pulling Bette from the window frame with a little force, gathering her into her arms patting her back as painful sobs wracking her body. Candace was seeing something she hadnt seen since she met her. Bette was breaking down which took Candace off-guard. She also needed to take several breathes to get her own emotions under control. Opening her mouth to say something soothing but suddenly she realizes the awkwardness of the situation, all she can do is to lean on Bettes frame and letting her cry. While Candaces body also vibrates with the heart wrenching sobs coming from Bette, she starts a rocking motion caressing Bettes hair at the same time. Bette (babling between sobs): She was my girl.. my girl.. she left me Candace.. my wife abandoned me and i couldnt stop her.. cos she was right, as always.. i said im sorry, im so sorry.. i said i love you, now how many times i dont remember but she wouldnt listen.. i never thought things would be like this! Not in a million Candace, not in a million she would leave me.. Shes my soulmate, my life, my light, my joy, shes my everything Candace!.. My WIFE!! I didn’t ever want to hurt her. EVER! But i did.. God how i did! You should have seen her face. I broke her down at last!.. What will i do Candace? All i wanted was to love her, to be with her, only her all my life.. What was i thinking?? Candace tell me what was i thinking? Candace (abruptly pulling away): Yes indeed! What you were thinking Bette?? Why you came after me Bette? Why you slept with me at the first opportunity you got Bette? You were not SOOO IN LOVE with her when i met you Bette! What was different then and what has changed now Bette? You needed to sleep with me to understand how important your wife is to you? You had to use me for that?? Bette fought to breathe against the crushing pain in her chest. The color drained from her face and the world spining around her, not listening or hearing what Candace saying, nor she cares.. Her sobbing subsided a bit, she just stares with eyes blank and fixed to a point almost in a delirious state. she keeps her bodys rocking motion and weeps quietly. Bette (whispering): Tina.. Tina.. Tina.. Candace (goes on with a disgusted face): Now after last night, after all those beating up and the other things you told me, youre still here in my house, crying your guts out in my arms, whining and mourning over your lost love, saying shes your precious! What is really precious to you Bette? Do you really know the meaning of precious at all? I need to tell you this also; right now you just look sooo pathetic Bette! Not the same person i met at Kits night, not the same person i felt attracted! (a deep sigh) And Bette.. dont get me wrong but I guess itll be better for both of us if you just leave.. now…. Candace picks Bettes purse and jacket holding them to Bettes face. Nodding slowly Bette gathers her stuff from her hands, standing up, moving to the door, she turns the door *****, opening it and leaving Candaces house. Without looking back she walks to her car, while Candaces watching her from the window… ~~ At the background playing Tori Amos – Precious Things ~~ INTERIOR – ALICE’S HOUSE – DAY Alice is looking at the now empty Love Chart with only Bettes name on it. Alice (mumbles softly): Holy *****… She looks for her cellular, finding it on coffee table, flipping it open dials tinas number only to hear Tinas messenger, without leaving any messages she pushes Off button and dials Bettes number which she finds out of reach as well. A little panicked she dials Danas number then looking at the screen she decides against it and deletes the number. Thinking and looking at the board she dials Shane this time and waits for her to answer. Alice: Shane! Thanks God! Look were in trouble.. Yeah.. No not that.. No i dont know. Its Tina. Last night she stayed at my place and she was not SOO happy.. No! I said i didnt know right?? Dont you listen what im saying?? I guess its something about Bette.. Can you come over to my place? WHAT? Why may i ask? I see.. ok forget that i asked.. Ill look for her by myself.. Alice turns of her cell, staring at it with a what the ***** expression. Alice (sarcastic): Yeah.. either everybody lost their ***** minds or this is just a Perfect Day! INTERIOR – DANA’S HOUSE – DAY I’m so shaken, about to explode The myth of kissing princes is they turn into toads There’s a war going on between the sun and the moon Before they come to terms we’ll be consumed Oh my god, please take me now I’m ready for ascension if i only knew how Give me wings give me wings now I’m stuck on the ground Recieve this blood and bones I’m homeward bound ****** ~ Just the sound of the background music can be heard ~ Danas sitting in her bed her body covered with sheets. Tonya is moving around frantic! Coming and going out of the room, bringing different clothes chatting over them showing them to Dana whose arms half folded holding the cat picture which Bette gave to her as a present and her head resting on her left hand with a desperate look on her face.. Shoes everywhere and clothes are piling over Danas bed turning to a small hill. Tonya comes in again showing another dress, Dana rolling her eyes, bangs her head to dashboard. Closing her eyes she clutches to the picture tightly. ~~ Playing at the background Booth and the Bad Angels – Dance of the Bad Angels ~~ INTERIOR – HOSPITAL – DAY Far away.. Once so close but now you’re far away. You’re still here with me but not like yesterday, so far.. Far away, i hear you breath but you’re so faraway.

Far away.. ****** Jenny sitting on a chair, her head between her hands, eyes bloodshot. Robin is by her side an arm draped over Jennys shoulder. A doctor approaches to them.

Im Jenny Schecter. Can i see her? Doctor : I see.. (looking at his papers again) Miss. Schecter, we were able to save Miss. Ferrers life but.. i suppose right now she doesnt want to see anyone. I called a theraphist for her and other than her dizziness her health is improving quite well.. and i guess thats all i can say for now. Jenny (murmuring): Thank you.. The Doctor leaves.

DONT HANG ON! TINA!! Looking at her cell phone again, Alice mumbles to herself. Alice (half smiling): Yeaaa! Just a Perfect Day indeed.. (sighing) I wonder wheres Dana.. The door to Planet opens, Jenny and Robin enters. Spotting them Alice waves her hand smiling and inviting them to her table but her smile freezes when she realizes their sullen faces. The door opens again and this time a tall blonde beauty enters the Planet who has clear blue-green wolf like eyes, and spiked short hair, moving with grace directly to the counter. Several people looking at her direction. Blonde (raising one of her brows): Hmm.. hello. I heard that youre looking for a barmaid? Hearing the familiar voice the one whos sitting before Alice lowers the newspaper. Tilting her hat she looks at the blonde whos at the counter. Then she slowly folds her newspaper, standing up from the chair shed been sitting, moves to the door. The moment shes at the door, blonde cranes her neck and they look at eachother. The Blonde narrowing her eyes, stares at Cowgirl with a small smile playing on her lips. Cowgirl also smiling back, she straightens a little, cupping the Blondes cheek, she whispers be careful. With that said Cowgirl heads to the door and bumps on to a very frantic looking Dana on her way out. Dana hurriedly moves to Alices table. Shaking her head to left&right Cowgirl starts humming the song while shes walking down the street. ***** Just a perfect day, problems all left alone Weekenders on our own, it’s such fun Just a perfect day, you made me forget myself I thought i was someone else, someone good Oh, it’s such a perfect day, i’m glad I spend it with you Oh, such a perfect day, you just keep me hanging on You’re going to reap just what you sow ~~ Playing at the background Lou Reed – Perfect Day ~~
