SCENE III
JAY
That's all I remember.
SEAN
That's all you remember?
JAY (Cut back to them)
What about you?
SEAN
I don't know. I'm just sick of your bullshit.
JAY
Whatever man you can go fuck yourself.
SEAN
You fucking cocksucker, let me see if I can get this through your head, (stands up again) you're the whole reason we're here! You just had to keep doing this shit and you know what? That fucker who ever the hell he is, he's right. You don't do shit for me. I do everything for you.
JAY
You don't do shit for me.
SEAN
You're fucking pathetic, you know that?
JAY
Oh, I'm pathetic?
SEAN
Yeah, you're pathetic. You're a pathetic fucking junkie.
(pause)
JAY
You live just as much of a fucked up life as I do.
SEAN
That's bullshit.
JAY
Bullshit? You try to help me with my problems but you never focus on what's good for you, and because of that, look where we are now.
SEAN
This isn't my fault, have you been listening to me?
JAY
Yeah, I've listened to you. But obviously this guy thinks you have as much a right to be here as I do.
SEAN
SHUT THE FUCK UP!
SILENCE
SEAN (looks away)
Ever since she went missing you've never gotten over it.
JAY
What?
SEAN (walks over to him)
Is that the whole reason you've been doing this?
JAY
Doing what?
PAUSE
JAY
She had nothing to do with it.
SEAN
Look, I know what you're going through. But what the fuck good does it do to repeat what she did? You're going to end up just like her! Some homeless drug addict on the fucking street. God knows what the fuck she's doing right now, or if she's even alive.(sits down next to him) But it's no excuse to be doing what you're doing right now. You've got to stop this. You've got to stop it, or you're going to end up just like her.
JAY
You just don't understand.
SEAN
I do understand, that's the thing that you just don't get. I am in exactly the same position that you are in, except it's worse. Now, you're involved in this and I can't stand seeing you the way you are any more. And just because she left is no reason for you to start using this shit every fucking day.
SILENCE
JAY
She meant everything to me, and when she left… I just couldn't do it, I just couldn't do it any more.
SEAN
Couldn't do what?
JAY
I just couldn't do anything.
SEAN
SILENCE
SLOWLY FADE OUT.
SCENE IV
CUT TO JAY AND SEAN STANDING TOGETHER IN A DOG PARK. THEY WALK PAST A BALD MAN SITTING ON A BENCH, THEY STOP AFTER THEY WALK BY HIM.
SEAN
How long are we staying here?
JAY
Not long. (sighs, pause)
You remember the first time we came here? (no response, they both look down, another uncomfortable pause)
CUT TO THREE YOUNG CHILDREN RUNNING TOGETHER.
YOUNG JAY
You can't catch me!
YOUNG SEAN
Come back here!
YOUNG SISTER
(laughs, she runs up and catches Jay and tackles him)
I got you!
They all laugh as they are all on the ground together.
CUT BACK TO PRESENT TIME.
SEAN
Come on, let's go.
JAY
No, not yet.
SEAN
C'mon Jay.
JAY
You're just gonna give up that easy?
SEAN
She's not here!
JAY
Then where the fuck is she?
SEAN
Who fucking knows?
JAY
Fuck off!
SEAN
No you fuck off! You just don't get it do you?
JAY
Get what?
SEAN
She's gone!
JAY
Goddamn it, she's your fucking sister!
PAUSE
SEAN
She's not our fucking sister any more! Can't you realize that? Can't you just see that now, she's nothing!
JAY
She's a fucking human being, man. (pause)
SEAN
I'm leaving, are you coming? (Jay doesn't reply) Are you coming or what?
JAY
No, I'm going to stay here. (softly)
Sean walks off and leaves Jay.
SCENE V
Cut back to them in the room.
JAY
Hey Sean, I need to tell you something.
(Sean is facing away from Jay) I fucked up everything. I deserve this. I deserve it, but you don't Sean. I couldn't ever get over anything. I needed something to get away from it all. I never even thought about you or what you did. I never once considered that doing this to myself was hurting you. You were always there for me man, and I was just too much of a fucking idiot to see it. I just want to let you know that no matter what happens, even if we both die, I love you.
PAUSE
Sean, (after the pause) turns to face Jay
SEAN
I'm sorry Jay, shit like this doesn't happen everyday. (they both smile slightly) I was just thinking about that time at the park a couple of months ago. I take back what I said. I do care about her, you know?
JAY
Yeah, I know. I miss her.
SEAN
Me too, (looks up) me too.
SILENCE.
JAY
Holy shit, Sean use that shit to pick the lock.
SEAN (looks down)
Why didn't I think of that? (picks it up and puts the scalpel inside the lock and begins to try and pick it. Sean struggles as Jay looks over. After a while Sean stops, he runs over towards Jay, Jay turns his head quickly to watch what Sean is doing, Sean starts to pick at all four of Jay's locks. He tries one and then the other and then another and then the last.) GOD FUCKING DAMN IT! (he throws down the scalpel)
(He sees a security camera watching them) FUCK YOU!
