Part 3
[Cut to Rachel on the phone in her room. It keeps cutting back and forth]
Rachel: Uh.hey Mon.
Monica: Hey! Oh my god it's been so long!
Rachel: (smiles slightly) Yeah it has! (pause) So...uh.you met Reilly?
Monica: Yeah, she's great.
Rachel: What about Ross, are they getting along?
Monica: Um.well.she hasn't really spoken to him.
Rachel: (sighs) Yeah, she's actually like that a lot.
Monica: Really? So you don't think it's because of Ross?
Rachel: She's a tough kid, and she acts it.
Monica: (smiles) Yeah, well. She's impressed Joey with her basketball tricks, and she's getting along with Pheebs.
Rachel: So how's it going over there? Are you with anyone?
Monica: Oh, yeah! You're not gonna believe this!
Rachel: (excited) What?
Monica: Me and Chandler got married!
Rachel: Noooo!
Monica: I know! (they laugh) And we have a daughter, Livy.
Rachel: Oh that's so great Mon!
Monica: Here, let me put you on speakerphone. (puts the phone down and presses a button]
Ross/Chandler: Hey Rach.
Rachel: Hey, guys. Who's there?
Ross: Me and Chandler.
(just then Livy runs in)
Livy: Hey, Mom, hey dad! (kisses there cheeks) Hey Uncle Ross.
Ross/Chandler/Monica: Hey/Hi Sweetie/Hi honey.
Monica: Um, this is Rachel on the phone.
Rachel: Hi.
Livy: (shyly) Uh, hey Rachel.
(just then Reilly knocks and walks in)
Ross: Hey Reilly.
Reilly: (coldly) Hey
Rachel: (on the phone) Hey! What have I told you, Rye.
Reilly: (looks at the phone) Mom?!
Rachel: Hey baby.
Reilly: (sits on the couch next to the phone) Hey, how's it going?
Rachel: Well, I've had to go and to this doctor and tell her about everything that's happened, and I mean everything! I'm staying at this home place with other (pause) suicidal people.
Reilly: (sarcastically) Sounds fun.
Rachel: So what have you been up to?
Reilly: Nothing much. I've played basketball a few times with Joey, and Phoebe's lent me a book.
Rachel: How's school?
Reilly: Mom, I hated school over there, when I knew everyone, no I'm at a new school with nobody I know it's the same subject (Rachel laughs a little) And, to make it worse, I don't have you here to run home to moan about it to! (Rachel laughs more) but there is some cute guys here, but they act like pigs!
Rachel: Missing Brad?
Reilly: Well, we took a break for when I left (pause, remembering what Phoebe told her) What is your definition of a 'break'?
Rachel: Well.
Reilly: Does that mean you can go on dates with different people?
Rachel: (pause) Why don't you ask Brad?
Reilly: I guess, I wouldn't want to get a break, mixed with a break 'up'.
Rachel: (confused) Are you getting at something?
Reilly: No.
Rachel: Well I gotta go now, but if you ever need someone to moan to after school, I'm just a phone call away!
Reilly: (laughs) Yeah, your mobile?
Rachel: Yeah. I'll talk to you later, Sweetie.
Reilly: (smiling) Okay, bye Mom.
Rachel: Bye (to the guys) Bye guys!
All: Bye Rach/Talk to ya later
(Rachel hangs up, and Monica takes speakerphone of)
Reilly: (to Chandler) Hey, do you know where Joey is?
Chandler: He's got an audition.
Reilly: Oh yeah, he told me. (pause) You wanna go shoot some hoops?
Chandler: Yeah, sure.
Reilly: Great (walks towards the door, then turns around) I just need to take my school things home, I'll meet you at the park in half an hour.
Chandler: All right. (she leaves)
Ross: (groans) See! She's practically ignoring me! She gets on better with Joey!
Livy: (rolls her eyes)
Chandler: Maybe she was just.upset about something.
Ross: She just asked you to go and play basketball with her!
Monica: Ross, she's lived her whole life without a father, and now, maybe she's just uncomfortable. And her mom's just tried to commit suicide.
Ross: (sighs) I just.I wish I was there for her, y'know.
Livy: Mom, can you help me with my biology homework?
Monica: I can't honey, I got a late shift.
Livy: (to Chandler) Dad?
Chandler: I'm playing basketball with Reilly, remember, but you can come if you like.
Livy: No, I gotta do this.
Ross: I can help ya. (stands up) Seeing as I've got nothing else to do.
(Chandler and Monica share looks)
Livy: (smiles) Thanks.
[Scene: A room, Rachel is there with Dr Milan again]
Rachel: (looking down) When I found out Ashley had leukaemia.I.I felt like I'd failed her, like.like I'd failed Reilly because she didn't have her real dad. (pause) I'd failed both my children, you have no idea what that feels like. (pause) I was told she had about 12 months to live, 18 at the most.but she died at four. (wipes at a tear in her eye) I just shut out after that.Reilly, she.she didn't understand properly, I'd always given her all the attention she ever wanted (takes a deep breath) Garry stuck around after that, for four months.looking after her (she's crying silently) But.then something happened to her.
Flashback
[Fade to: Rachel, Garry and Reilly (6) are walking along a path in a park, there's a busy road next to them. Rachel is walking further behind them]
Reilly: (runs up to the swings) Garry, push me!
Rachel: (walks over to a bench and sits down, staring ahead)
Garry: (walks behind Reilly, but keeps looking at Rachel) All right.
Time Lapse (Rachel is still sitting on the bench. Garry stops the swing, and Reilly giggles)
Garry: How about you go and play on the slide now, honey?
Reilly: (giggling, sweetly, jumps of the swing) Okay! (runs towards it)
Garry: (smiles after her, then looks over at Rachel and walks towards her) Hey, Rach.
Rachel: (not looking up) Hi.
Garry: (sits down beside her, and puts his arm around her) C'mon Rach, you gotta stop this. (Rachel keeps staring) Honey, you can't keep doing this to yourself.
[cut over to Reilly sitting on the bottom of the slide looking at them, she turns around and sees a squirrel about 9 feet in front of her]
Reilly: (breaks into a smile) Hiya! (walks towards it)
[Cut back to Rachel and Garry]
Rachel: (speaking with no emotion) I let her down. Just like I let down Reilly.
Garry: You didn't let any of them down, Sweetie.
Rachel: (without emotion) Reilly doesn't have a father, and my baby died when she was four months old (turns her head and looks at him) If that isn't letting your kids down what is?
(All of a sudden there's the sound of a child's terrified scream, a horn of a car, and a crash..)
Rachel: (V.O) We spent hours in that hospital, just waiting.
[Cut back to room]
Rachel:.I realised then, I couldn't keep doing that. My little girl need me, and I needed her. (pause, she wipes her eyes) But.although I could face Reilly, I couldn't face Garry. (pause) I called of the engagement while we were there, but asked him to stay for Reilly, until we found out if she was all right. (pause) I was so happy when the doctor came and said the operation went good. She had a fractured skull and a broken leg. I couldn't believe someone so small could survive that.
Dr Milan: But she did.
Rachel: (nods, slowly.)
[Fade to: Reilly's room at Ross's. She's sitting on her bed, which is covered in clothes on one part, reading her book, or just looking at it. There's a knock at the door. She looks at it, and groans, thinking it's Ross]
Reilly: (reluctantly) Come in. (someone pushes the door open, it's Livy, surprised) Hey!
Livy: (smiles shyly) Hi.
Reilly: (moves over on the bed) How did you get in?
Livy: Uh.your dad let me in.
Reilly: (stood up and walked over, pulling her in slightly and closes the door)
Livy: Um.so.why do you hate your dad so much?
Reilly: (shrugs, not used to talking to other people other than Rachel) He's a stranger to me (flings herself on the bed) He doesn't know anything about me.
Livy: Well.Ross is a really great guy, and.maybe you should give him a chance.
Reilly: (rolls her eyes) Yeah, sure. (pause) So what're you into?
Livy: Um.I uh.like.
Reilly: (pushes her clothes of the bed) You can sit down if you want.
Livy: (slowly came over and sat beside her)
Reilly: You're shy, huh?
Livy: Yeah.people always say that.
Reilly: How old are you?
Livy: I just turned 12 three months ago. How about you?
Reilly: 13.
Livy: (pause) Have fun at school?
Reilly: (rolled her eyes) I hate it. (pulls out her timetable) But I have art tomorrow first thing, so.
Livy: You like art, huh?
Reilly: (smiles) Yeah, I love designing things. Especially clothes!
Livy: (smiles back)
Reilly: You like school?
Livy: Yeah, I like maths best.
Reilly: (nods)
Livy: (stands up) Well, I gotta go, I'll see ya around?
Reilly: Yeah, see ya! (Livy leaves)
(Reilly looks at the picture of Rachel on the nightstand, then walks over to her cupboard. She pulls out a purple portfolio and walks back to the bed. Sits down and pulls out drawing of clothes she'd designed. She smiled, then looked down at her clothes. She was wearing baggy cargo pants and a grey top)
Flashback
[Fade to. Shopping mall. Rachel and Reilly (13) are looking at clothes]
Reilly: There is no way I'd ever wear those! (points to the same cargo pants she's wearing back in the present) They just totally don't go with me.
Rachel: (holding them) Just for when you're other clothes are in the wash, or when you go to clean the stables, I hate having to wash your good clothes because of that.
Reilly: (grabs them) All right! But I'll only wear them when I'm really miserable! (walks away towards the counter, Rachel laughed and shook her head, following her)
Back to
[Reilly's bedroom. She smiled slightly at the memory, the takes out a blank piece of paper from the folder and started drawing something]
Time Lapse
[Reilly finished and put it in the folder. She turned and looked back at the picture of Rachel, then at a calendar hung on the wall. She swings her legs of the bed, then walks out the room]
Reilly: Ross? (looks around and sees he's not there. Walks into his room and slowly approaches the desk in his room. She picks up his wallet and pulls out some money and looks at it, taking a deep breath. She look around, then leaves, clutching the money she just stole]
[Cut to: Next day, and art classroom. Reilly looks like she's enjoying it. Will's in the same class as her for this too
They're sitting like this. *=students. W=Will R=Reilly
* * R * * * * * * W * * * * * * * * The teacher is speaking]
Teacher:.But.since summer break is coming up, I'd like to have this project finished before then. So I've decided to divide you all into groups of two and three. (looking at something) Daniel Tyler, Heidi Parker and Sandra Hill you'll be working together, Katie-Anne Robinson you'll be working with Colin Andrews, Millie Davidson you'll be working with Cindy Cart, William Globes you'll be working with Reilly Samantha Green.(Reilly's eyes nearly popped out, and she turned around to look at him. He smiled a little at her, but she just turned back to the front. The teacher finished) You have two months and two weeks to do this, and I expect good work from you all. (bell rings) Class dismissed (the students get up to leave)
Will: (walks up to Reilly) So, looks like we're paired up.
Reilly: (walking out the room, clutching her books) Not by choice (opens her locker, and shoves them in, the pulls out her maths book. Coldly) two and a half months to design a company is gonna be easy.
Will: Yeah, but we've got to make a website for it.
Reilly: (slams her locker, and looks at him for the first time) That will be easy too. (turns on the balls of her feet, and walks towards the stairs, him close behind) Design is one of the only things I'm good at and enjoy at school. (climbs up the stairs) I'd much rather be doing this by myself.
Will: You know.out of all the girls I've met, you're not one bit like them.
Reilly: (casts him a quick glance out the corner of her eye, then turns back around and walks downstairs)
Will: (rolls his eyes, and followed her back down)
Reilly: (angry) Why are you following me?
Will: Trying to be friendly.
Reilly: By stalking me?! (before he could reply, she made a sharp turn into the girls toilets)
Will: (groans, then turns away and walks towards his locker)
Reilly: (after a few minutes, walks out and looks around. She quickly walks up to her locker and puts her books in it, then turns and walks away)
[Cut to: A train station. Reilly walked up to those places where you get tickets]
Reilly: (to the man) Um.hi I was wondering if I could get a return train ticket to Pennsylvania.
Man: When for?
Reilly: May 28th.
Man: (pulls a ticket out from a drawer) That'll be $70 (I don't know! =))
Reilly: (reaches into her pocket and pulls out some money and hands it to him)
Man: (takes it, then hands her the ticket)
Reilly: Thanks (turns and runs towards the road, and hails a cab)
[Fade to: Ross'. Reilly comes in and walks over to the phone, she'd found out where Rachel was staying, and dial a number]
Reilly: Hi.this is Reilly Green. (pause) I was wondering if I could come and visit my Mom. (pause) Rachel Karen Green (pause) The 29th of May. (pause) Would we be allowed to go out? (pause, she smiles) Thanks. I was wondering if you could not tell her I'm coming (pause) I want to surprise her (pause) right thanks. Bye. (hangs up, and smiles a little)
Time Lapse
Reilly: (was sleeping on the couch)
Ross: (walked in and saw her) Reilly?
Reilly: (slowly opened her eyes and looked at him) Wha?
Ross: Why aren't you at school? (puts his briefcase down)
Reilly: (sits up, trying to decided whether or not to speak to him) Sore stomach.
Ross: (concerned) Are you all right?
Reilly: (thinks for a moment, then adds) That time of month.
Ross: (nearly chocked) Oh! Oh, um.okay.
Reilly: Um.listen there's this trip the school's taking us on.I was wondering if I could go?
Ross: (surprised she was talking to him) Um.when?
Reilly: May 28th. (pause) Can I?
Ross: yeah, sure (pause) How much is it?
Reilly: (pausing, she could really use some more cash, but didn't want to take to much) Um.$20.
Ross: (raises his eyebrows, then hands her a $20 bill) How long will you be away for?
Reilly: (putting the note in her pocket) About a week.
Ross: (nods) All right.
Reilly: (nods, then walks into her room)
[Monica & Chandler's. Ross, Chandler and Monica are there]
Ross: So she's going on the trip in three weeks.
Monica: (smiles) Where's she going?
Ross: Well.she didn't say. But I hope she has a great time.
Livy: (comes in) Hey.
Ross/Monica/Chandler: Hi/Hey/Hi Sweetie.
Chandler: Are you going to the trip as well?
Livy: (confused) What trip?
Monica: The school trip.
Livy: (just kept looking confused)
Monica: The one that Reilly's going on.
Livy: (realises) Oh! Um.that was just her year that was going. (pause) Um.is Reilly at home just now, Uncle Ross?
Ross: (nodded) Yeah.
Livy: (putting her school bag down) Is it okay if I go 'round?
Ross: Yeah, sure (throws her a key) Just incase she's locked it.
Livy: (smiles and nods. Then leaves)
[Cut to: Ross'. Reilly is watching the TV, painting her toe-nails. There a knock at the door]
Reilly: (not getting up) Who is it?
Livy: (O.S) It's me.
Reilly: Come in.
Livy: (comes in)
Reilly: Hey. (nods to the chair) Have a seat.
Livy: (sits down. It's silent for a moment) Where're you going?
Reilly: (looks up) Huh?
Livy: There isn't a school trip.
Reilly: (pause, angry) If you tell anyone, I will kill you!
Livy: (pause) Where are you going.
Reilly: (puts the nail polish down, and swings her legs of the couch) To see my Mom.
Livy: (surprised) What?
Reilly: It's my birthday and I want to spend it with her.
Livy: (stares at her) Does Uncle Ross know?
Reilly: (gives her a look) No
Livy: okay. (pause) Um.do you think this is a good idea?
Reilly: I don't care. (stands up)
Livy: (closes her eyes and shakes her head) What if your dad finds out?
Reilly: If Ross finds out, then he finds out. (walks into the kitchen, and comes out with a drink) I don't care, it's not like he can do anything to me.
Livy: Reilly.
Reilly: If you tell him, you're history!
Livy: I won't.
Reilly: (keeps looking at her) You're the only person who knows about this.so if he finds out, I'll know you told him.
Livy: I wont, I swear.
Reilly: Good.
[Fade to: A few days later. Ross'. Reilly and Will are there doing their project, she's not happy]
Reilly: What d'ya think?
Will: (nods) Sounds good (looks at her) You're really talented.
Reilly: (looks at him surprised, only Rachel had ever said that to her) Uh.thanks.
Will: (smiles slightly) Any other hidden ones?
Reilly: What?
Will: Talents?
Reilly: (blushed slightly) Um.well.I play basketball.
Will: (surprised) Uh.you play basketball?
Reilly: Yeah. Do you?
Will: (smiles and nods)
Reilly: I thought you were on the football team?
Will: Uh.yeah I play both.
Reilly: (looks at a piece of paper which they'd been working on, then back up at him) I was just wondering something, don't you have to be 15 to get on the football team?
Will: (embarrassed) Yeah, uh, I was kept back a year.
Reilly: So you're 15 then?
Will: (nods) Yeah. I'll be 16 next month. (pause) How old are you?
Reilly: 13, I'll be 14 in three weeks though.
Will: (smiles) Um.do you want to catch a movie tonight?
Reilly: (looks like she's thinking about it) Sure.
Will: Great! (looks at his watch) I gotta go (looks at her) I'll pick you up about 6?
Reilly: All right.
Will: (they stand up) I'll see ya later?
Reilly: Yeah.
Will: 'Kay (leaves)
Reilly: (takes a deep breath, then look at the phone. She picks it up and dials a number) Hey Brad, It's Reilly. (smiles and laughs) Yeah!
Brad: So how are ya?
Reilly: Fine.
Brad: Did you find out what your dad did?
Reilly: Yeah, he cheated on Mom.
Brad: (surprised) What?!
Reilly: I know, that's what I was like!
Brad: Did you talk to him about it?
Reilly: No, I practically stopped talking to him altogether.
Brad: (sighs) Yeah, mighta figured you'd do that.
Reilly: (laughs) Camon, I'm not that bad! (they both laugh) um.Brad?
Brad: Yeah?
Reilly: We're on a break, right?
Brad: Yeah?
Reilly: Does that mean we can date other people?
Brad: (pause) Yeah, sure (pause) You going on a date?
Reilly: (thinking for a moment) No, I was just wondering.
Brad: (smiles) So how've you been?
Reilly: Well.Monica and Chandler's daughter, Livy's, all right..
[Cut to: Later that night. Reilly's room. She's wearing a short leather skirt (like Rachel would wear) and a blue tank top, with knee-high-boots. She's putting on her make-up. This was the first time she'd worn something other than the cargo pants she'd been wearing with random T-shirts over the past week or two]
Reilly: (comes out her room into the living room. Ross is there) I'm going out.
Ross: (turns to look at her, and sees her, he nearly drops his coffee) W.wha.what are you wearing?
Reilly: I got a date, I wanted to look nice.
Ross: You.you're not going out like that young lady! And a date?!
Reilly: Why?!
Ross: You'll look like a slut!
Reilly: (glares at him) For your 411, I always used to dress like this at home when I went on dates.
Ross: 411?
Reilly: Information.
Ross: Maybe your Mom used to let you dress like that, but I'm not.
Reilly: (angry now) It's not up to you what I wear, or what I do. I'm only here cause I have to be! (there's a knock at the door. She answers it, it's Will) Come in.
Will: (comes in and sees her) Uh.h.hey, Reilly.
Reilly: Hey Will (to Ross, still angry) Ross this is Will. Will this is Ross.
Will: (shakes his hand) Hi.
Ross: So where are you taking my daughter?
Will: The movies.
Ross: And.uh.how old are you?
Will: Fifteen.
Ross: (to Reilly) And how old are you, again?
Reilly: (sarcastically) Well, you wouldn't know who you? (to Will) Camon, lets go. (To Ross) I'll be back at 12. (starts to leave)
Ross: 11.
Reilly: (turns and shrugs) Whatever (then leaves with a bewildered Will)
[Cut to: Street, Reilly is dragging Will out of the building]
Will: What was that about?
Reilly: (stops pulling him, and lets go of his hand) He's just being a jerk.
Will: (pause) Okay. Lets go then.
Reilly: All right.
Time Lapse
[It's dark. Reilly and Will are coming back, laughing]
Reilly: That was actually fun.
Will: (smiles at her) Good. (He slowly leans in and kisses her)
Reilly: (pulls back after a moment) I'll see you at school.
Will: (smiles and nods) Night.
Reilly: Night (She turns and goes into the building)
[A room. Rachel is lying on a bed with a piece of paper in front of her holding a pen. She looks like she is thinking then starts writing]
[Scene: School corridor. Reilly and Livy are standing by the lockers talking]
Livy: What if your dad finds out from the school or something.
Reilly: (rolls her eyes, opening her locker and puts some books in) Why do you worry so much?
Livy: I don't, but this is serious.
Reilly: (closes her locker) Yes it is. I haven't seen my Mom in nearly a month, and she needs me. (they start walking down the hall)
Livy: Where are you going?
Reilly: To the park.
Livy: (looks around) I thought you had maths.
Reilly: I do, that's the point.
Livy: Reilly.
Reilly: Look, are you coming, or are you going to class? (opens the door, and turns around)
Livy: I'm coming with you. (walks out, and they start walking down the school steps)
Reilly: Just stop going on about where I'm going. Cause no matter what anyone says I'm still gonna go. (she keeps looking a head, while Livy turns slightly to look at her) What class have you got after recess?
Livy: Biology. You?
Reilly: (rolls her eyes) Chemistry.
Livy: Hey, I've got a few mates coming over tonight, ya wanna come?
Reilly: Who?
Livy: Um.Andy, Scott, Kristen and Becky. Katie said she come round, but she might have to go to her dad's.
Reilly: (nods and shrugs) Yeah, sure.
Livy: (smiles) Great! (Reilly smiles slightly, as they approach central park)
Reilly: Can you play basketball?
Livy: (shakes her head) I'm crap at it.
Reilly: (walks over to the swings) Maybe I could teach you? (they both sit down)
Livy: Um.I don't know. I've seen how good you are at it, and you'd just get impatient with me.
Reilly: I've been playing since I was 5 years old, it took me about a year to learn, so I know how hard it might be.
Livy: (looks over at the fenced-in basketball area) All right.
Reilly: (breaks into a smile) Great! (jumps of the swing) Camon (runs towards it, with Livy running behind her trying to catch up)
Reilly: (looks around trying to see if anyone left a ball, and found one sitting in the corner, she walks over and picks it up) Okay, d'ya know the basics?
Livy: Um.what are they?
Reilly: (shrugs) Throwing the ball (throws it to her, she catches it) The rules.
Livy: Um.I know how to throw it.
Reilly: Okay, you can only move with the ball if you're bouncing it.but if you stop you have to pass it to someone on your team.
[Scene: Room. Rachel and Dr. Milan are there]
Dr Milan: Why did you leave New York?
Rachel: (looks at her for a moment) Ross.
Flashback
Ross: Come on Rach, you don't have what, ten minutes?
Rachel: I don't have ten minutes!!
Ross: What? (to Sophie) Sophie, does she have ten minutes?
Rachel: Hey, Ross!!! I told you I don't!
Ross: Don't yell at me okay, this is the most I've seen you all week.
Rachel: Look, I cannot do this right now, okay, I've got a deadline, would you just go home, I'll talk to you later. (storms out)
Ross: Yeah, but wait...
Rachel: Good bye!
Time Lapse [Monica and Rachel's. Ross is sitting there eating the picnic he'd packed]
Ross: Hey.
Rachel: Hi. Look um, about what happened earlier...
Ross: No, hey, well, I-I completely understand. You were, you were stressed.
Rachel: (throws her stuff down) I was gonna give you a chance to apologise to me.
Ross: For what? For letting you throw me out of your office?
Rachel: You had no right coming down to my office Ross. You do not bring a picnic basket to somebody's work! Unless maybe they were a park ranger!
Ross: Yeah, well excuse me for wanting to be with my girlfriend on our anniversary, boy what an ass am I.
Rachel: But I told you, I didn't have the time!
Ross: Yeah, well you never have the time. I mean, I don't feel like I even have a girlfriend anymore, Rachel.
Rachel: You want me, you want me to quit my job so you can feel like you have a girlfriend?
Ross: No, but it'd be nice if you realised, it's just a job!
Rachel: Just a job!
Ross: Yes.
Rachel: Ross do you realise this is the first time in my life I'm doing something I actually care about.
Ross: Is this about Mark?
Rachel: (shocked) Oh my God.
Ross: Okay, what do you want me to do.
Rachel: I don't know, I don't know. Urrrgh! Look, maybe we should take a break.
Ross: Okay, okay, fine, you're right. Let's ah, let's take a break, (goes to the door) let's cool off, okay, let's get some frozen yogart, or something.. (opens the door)
Rachel: No. (Ross is standing in the doorway.) A break from us.
(Ross looks at her, then leaves slamming the door behind him.)
Time Lapse [Rachel is there with Mark]
Rachel: I told him I wanted to take a break, I don't want to take a break. And then I called him, and he wasn't there.
Mark: Well, then he's, he's probably just, out.
Rachel: Oh, thank you that's very helpful, I'm glad you came over.
Time Lapse [Ross & Rachel are on the phone]
Ross: Is that Mark?
Rachel: Umm, honey, look he just came over to....
[Cut to The Philly.]
Ross: Yeah! Got it! (slams the phone down)
[Cut back to: Room. Rachel and Dr Milan are there]
Dr Milan: Who was Mark?
Rachel: This guy who helped me find a job. Ross got all jealous over him and we had problems from then.
Dr Milan: And that's when you broke up.
Rachel: (looks at her) No.the break up was ten times worse than that.
Flashback [Monica & Rachel's]
Monica: How's the big anniversary dinner?
Rachel: Well, we never actually got to dinner.
Monica: Ohhh, nice.
Rachel: No, we kinda broke up instead.
[Scene: Ross']
Ross: . (opens the door, sees Rachel, and hides Chloe behind the door) Rachel!!!!
Rachel: Hi. Ohhh, you got my message.
Ross: Yeah, oh hey, you are right on time.
Rachel: So what do you say? Can I be your girlfriend again?
Ross: Yes, you can, very much.
[Cut to Monica & Rachel's, Rachel is trying to close the door on Ross.]
Ross: (forcing the door open) Come on, Rachel, come on! Talk to me! Please!!
Rachel: I can't talk to you. I can't even look at you right now!
Ross: Rachel?
Rachel: Just get away from me!
Ross: No, it was a mistake! I made a mistake! Okay?
Rachel: A mistake?! What were you trying to put it in? Her purse?! Ross, you had sex with another woman! (opening the door) Y'know what, I want you to leave! Get outta here!
Ross: No!!
Rachel: Just get out! Now!!
Ross: No!! No!! I wanna stay. I wanna talk about this.
Rachel: Okay! All right! How was she?
Ross: What?
Rachel: Was she good?
Time Lapse [he's on the coffee table, she's on the couch]
Ross: Y'know what, y'know what, I'm-I'm not the one that wanted that, that break, okay. You're the one that bailed on us. You're the one that, that ran when things got just a little rough!
Rachel: That's....
Ross: That's what?!
Rachel: That is neither here nor there.
Ross: Okay, well here we are. Now we're in a tough spot again, Rach. What do you want to do? How do you want to handle it? Huh? Do you wanna fight for us? Or, do you wanna bail? (sits down next to her) Look, I, (on the verge of tears) I did a terrible, stupid, stupid thing. Okay? And I'm sorry, I wish I could take it back, but I can't. (We see Monica and Phoebe are almost in tears.) I just can't see us throwing away something we know is so damn good. Rachel, I love you so much.
(He kisses her on her shoulder, then her neck, then the side of her face, then just before he kisses her on the lips....)
Rachel: No Ross!! (stands up and moves away from him) Don't! You can't just kiss me and think you're gonna make it all go away, okay? It doesn't work that way. It doesn't just make it better. Okay?
Ross: Okay, okay, okay.
Rachel: (softly) I think you should go.
Ross: What?
Rachel: (softly) I really think you need to go now.
Ross: (moving over to stand in front of her) Okay, okay. This morning you said there was nothing so big that we couldn't work past it together...
Rachel: Yeah, what the hell did I know!
Ross: Look, look, there's got to be a way we can work past this. Okay, (takes a hold of one of her arms.) I can't imagine, I can't imagine my life without you. (Both of them are starting to cry.) Without, without these arms, and your face, and this heart. Your good heart Rach, (drops to his knees and hugs her around her waist) and, and....
Rachel: (crying) No. I can't, you're a totally different person to me now. I used to think of you as somebody that would never, ever hurt me, ever. God, and now I just can't stop picturing with her, I can't, (Ross stands up and backs away) it doesn't matter what you say, or what you do, Ross. It's just changed, everything. Forever.
Ross: (crying) Yeah, but this can't be it, I mean.
(pause)
Rachel: Then how come it is?
[Cut back to: Room. Rachel's crying slightly]
Dr Milan: When did you find out you were pregnant?
Rachel: (takes a deep breath) About a week later, I didn't tell anyone.I just.ran. Like Ross said I do.
Dr Milan: Would he have been a bad father?
Rachel: (looks up and shakes her head) He has a son, Ben. He was a great dad.
Dr Milan: Isn't your daughter staying with him now?
Rachel: (nods, sniffing) But I know Reilly, Ross'll need a lot of patience with her.

[Cut to: Later. Monica & Chandler's. Reilly, Livy, Kristen, Becky, Scott, Andy and a girl (Katie) are there]
Kristen: So how long are you here for, Reilly?
Reilly: (shrugs) Until my Mom's better probably.
Katie: What's wrong with her?
Reilly: Um.I don't really want to talk about it.
Becky: That bad, huh?
Scott: She said she didn't wanna talk about it Becky
Reilly: (looks at him and gives him a 'thank you' look, he just smiles back)
Livy: (to the guys) So what are you doing this weekend?
Andy: We're gonna see the Knicks playing on Saturday, but David couldn't come, so now were stuck with an extra ticket.
Reilly: (happy) I'll go!
Scott: (looking at her) You do know the Knicks are a basketball team, right?
Reilly: (glares at him) Yes. (then smiles) I love basketball.
Livy: Yeah she's great at it.
Scott: (shrugs, then looks at Andy)
Andy: Yeah, all right.
Reilly: (breaks into a smile)
_______________________________________
[Scene: Basketball game. Andy and Reilly are there. It's half time]
Andy: (to Reilly) You like it here?
Reilly: It's all right, but I can't wait to go home.
Andy: Do you get to go visit your Mom?
Reilly: (shrugs) Yeah, I can see her when I want.
Andy: So how old are ya?
Reilly: I'm 13, I'll be 14 in three weeks. What about you?
Andy: 12
Reilly: (smiles and nods)
Scott: (comes over with 3 bags of peanuts) Hey guys.
Reilly/Andy: Hey. (he sits down beside Andy)
Scott: (holds out a bag to Andy) Here
Andy: (takes it) Thanks, man.
Scott: (holding another bag, to Reilly) Reilly?
Reilly: (shakes her head) No thanks, I'm allergic.
Andy: (with his mouth full) To peanuts?
Reilly: (sarcastically) No, I'm allergic to the bag.
Scott: (shakes his head, grinning) All right, looks like I've got another bag for myself.
Reilly: (to Scott) Thanks though.
Scott: You allergic to anything else?
Reilly: Lobster and kiwi. (pause) I get my eating habits from my dad, Mom told me. (looks forward) Games starting.
[A few days later. Monica and Chandler's. Livy, Chandler and Monica are there]
Monica: So what are you doing tomorrow, honey?
Chandler/Livy: Work/Shopping (they look at each other)
Monica: (smirks)
Ross: (walks in) Hey.
Monica/Chandler/Livy: Hey/Hey Ross/Hi Uncle Ross
Monica: Where've you been?
Ross: (to Monica and Chandler) Hey did any of you guys borrow money from me?
Chandler/Monica: (confused) No.
Ross: (pulls out his wallet) I had about a $100 in here and now there's on 10!
Chandler/Monica: (shocked) What?!/Oh my god!
Livy: (knows it was Reilly) Are you sure you didn't put it down somewhere?
Ross: (looks at her) I think I'd know where I keep $100, Livy.
Chandler: You think someone stole it from you?
Ross: (shrugs) Someone must have.
Monica: You better report this.
Livy: (quickly) Why?!
Chandler: (gives her a look) Because someone has stolen 90 bucks of Ross.
Livy: (worried for Reilly) I took it!
Chandler/Monica/Ross: (even more shocked) Huh?!/What?!/Livy!
Livy: Um.I needed it for.Kristen's birthday present.
Chandler: $90!
Livy: It was expensive.
Monica: Olivia Catherine Bing! That's stealing!
Livy: (lowers her eyes) I'm sorry.
Chandler: Young lady, you are grounded for a month.
Livy: Dad!
Monica: Get to your room right now!
Livy: (gets up of the chair and goes into her room)
Monica: (to Ross and Chandler) I can't believe she would do that! Ross I'm so sorry.
Ross: (shakes his head) Aw.it doesn't matter. (puts his wallet away) At least I didn't call the cops.
Chandler: (thinking) That is totally not like her, why would she do that?
Monica: (shakes her head)
[Ross'. Reilly is sitting on the couch reading. Ross walks in]
Ross: Hey Reilly.
Reilly: (not looking up) Hey.
Ross: (walking into the kitchen. O.S) I have to work tonight, is that okay?
Reilly: (not really caring) Sure. (closes her book) I'm going over to Livy's. (stands up)
Ross: (O.S) She's grounded.
Reilly: (surprised) Uh.I'm going out. (quickly leaves before Ross can reply)
[Scene: Monica & Chandler's. Chandler and Monica are there. There's a knock on the door]
Chandler: (goes to get it, it's Reilly. Smiles) Hey Reilly.
Reilly: (forces a smile) Hey. Um.is Livy around?
Monica: (calling over) She can't talk to anyone.
Reilly: It's important.
Chandler: (stepping aside, realising she's still standing outside) Camon in, Reilly.
Reilly: (comes in) I'll only be about five or ten minutes.
Monica: (looks at her for a minute, then at Chandler)
Chandler: (to Reilly) All right, go ahead.
Reilly: (smiles) Thanks (runs over to Livy's door and knocks on it)
Livy: (O.S) Who is it?
Reilly: It's Reilly.
Livy: (O.S) Come on in.
Reilly: (goes in)
[Cut to: Livy's room. It's Blue and lilac, Livy is sitting watching the TV in her room]
Livy: (smiles) Hey, Reilly.
Reilly: Um.hey. I heard you were grounded?
Livy: (looks at her) Uh yeah.
Reilly: Why?
Livy: (puts the TV off and stands up) It's not important.
Reilly: (looks at her)
Livy: (sighs) Uncle Ross found $100 missing from his wallet and I took the blame.
Reilly: (shocked) Livy, that was me!
Livy: I know, but.
Reilly: (rolls her eyes) Livy
Livy: I was just trying to help.
Reilly: (looks at her, and smiles a little) Thanks.(pause) But it isn't fair for you to do this.
Livy: (raises her eyebrows) Since when was life fair?
Reilly: (thinking back on her life) Um.well it's not, but, I can make this fair.
Livy: You really want to have to explain why you took the money?
Reilly: (thinking about it) No. (pause, looks at her) You ever need me to do anything for you just tell me, okay?
Livy: (smiles) Sure.
Reilly: (smiles at her for a minute, before hugging her) I better go (pulled back) I'll see you at school.
Livy: 'Kay, bye. (Reilly leaves)

[School corridor: Reilly, Livy, Kristen and Becky are there]
Kristen: (to Reilly) Did you have fun at the basketball game?
Reilly: (nods) Yeah, it was all right.
Girl: (walks over with two girls. To Reilly) Hey, are you Reilly?
Reilly: (looks at them, confused) Why, is it any of your business?
Girl: (angry) It is my business when you go out on a date with my boyfriend!
Reilly: Will?
Girl: (rolls her eyes. Sarcastically) Who do you think?
Reilly: (sarcastically) Gee, I'm sorry (normal voice) For your information, he's the one that asked me out.
Other girl1: Will would never do that to Clara.
Other girl2: They've been going out for nearly a year.
Reilly: (to Clara) Maybe you bore him, or you're too controlling.
Clara: (glaring a her) You don't even know me.
Reilly: (glares back at her) Go to hell (tries to walk passed her)
Clara: (grabs her and pulls her back) I don't think so, Missy.
Reilly: (yanks her arm back and says angrily) Touch me again and you're dead!
Livy: (to Reilly) Reilly, lets just go.
Clara: (sarcastically, to Reilly) I'm so scared. How old are you, like thirteen?
Reilly: (clenched a fist) You want to lose a few teeth?
Clara: (just smirks at her)
Reilly: (angry, hits her in the face with her fist, causing her to stumble backwards)
Clara: (quickly stands up straight) You little bitch! (slaps her)
Reilly: (pushes her against the lockers. Livy looks worried, a crowd had formed around them)
Clara: (coldly) Let me go! (smacks her in the chin)
Reilly: (nearly falls back) You. (they start fighting)
Girl2: Principal! (the kids run away, leaving Livy, Reilly and Clara)
Principal: Clara Thomson! (they stop fighting and look at him. To Livy) Oliva, go to class (To Clara and Reilly) Come with me! I'm going to call your parents. (They walk down the corridor)
Reilly: (under her breath) Great!
[Scene: Principal's office. Clara and Reilly are sitting there on their own]
Clara: Stay away from Will.
Reilly: (looks at her) I think that's a choice I get to make.
Clara: (glares at her) I'll just talk to Will.
Reilly: (shrugs) Fine, I don't like him much anyway. We just got paired together for a project.
Clara: (not believing her, coldly) Then why did you go on a date with him?
Reilly: (shrugs) I wanted to catch a movie and I didn't have anyone to go with.
Clara: Yeah, right!
Reilly: (looks at her) Fine don't believe me, but it's true, you can have him.
Clara: (pause) What's wrong with him?
Reilly: (looks out the window and shrugs) He's not my type.
Clara: You have no taste! (looks away)
Reilly: (smirks to herself) Actually you have no taste.
Clara: (turns and glares at her. Before she can say anything, Ross and the principal walk in)
Ross: (looking disappointed) Reilly.
Reilly: (looks at him, then looks out the window again)
Principal: As I was saying, Dr. Gellar. I am going to be suspending Reilly from school until next Monday for fighting.
Reilly: (groans)
Ross: (looking at Reilly) Thank you Mr. Davis. Come on, Reilly.
Reilly: (stands up) Coming. (they leave)
___________________________________
[Scene: Ross'. Reilly and Ross enter. Reilly starts to walk towards her room]
Ross: Not so fast, young lady!
Reilly: (stops and turns around) What?!
Ross: Why were you fighting with that girl today?
Reilly: (coldly) Is that any of your business?
Ross: Yes! It is. You're my daughter, and I want to be apart of your life.
Reilly: (stares at him and then looks down)
Ross: (walks towards her) Reilly, why can't you just give me a chance to be your dad?
Reilly: (looks at him) I don't need a dad, all I need is Mom. And she needs me, but I'm stuck here, and I hate that!
Ross: You do need a dad, Reilly.
Reilly: (looks down) You don't know anything about me.
Ross: Reilly, I'm sorry I wasn't there for you, but.
Reilly: (looks up) It doesn't matter. I survived. (turns and walks towards her room)
Ross: Reilly.
Reilly: (turns and looks at him, softly, holding back tears) Just leave me alone, Ross (goes into her room)
Ross: (looks after he, his face hurt)
[Cut to: Reilly's room. She closes the door and wipes at the tear rolling down her cheek, frustrated]
Reilly: (goes over to the phone and dials a number. Pause) Hey Brad, it's me (pause) I miss you too (pause) I'm coming over in three weeks. (pause) Well.I've just been suspended for fighting in school (pause) Yeah, whatever. (pause) Yeah.
[Scene: Next day. Ross'. He's sitting in the kitchen eating his breakfast. Reilly walks in]
Ross: Hey Reilly.
Reilly: (walking over to the cupboard. Quietly) Hey. (she pulls out a box of cereal)
Ross: (standing up) What are you gonna be doing today?
Reilly: (shrugs)
Ross: (sighs) I gotta go to work (picks up his briefcase) I'll see you later.
Reilly: (pouring milk into her cereal) Yeah, sure.
Ross: You gonna be all right?
Reilly: (pouring herself a drink) Yes. (Ross looks at her for a minute, then leaves. The phone rings, Reilly gets it) Hello? (pause) Hey Monica (pause) No you just missed him (pause) I was suspended for fighting (pause) This little bitch. I went out with this guy, who was her boyfriend. (pause) He'll be home at lunch, do you want me to give him a message? (pause) All right, bye.
_____________________________________
[Three Weeks Later. Reilly has started to talk to Ross a little more, but still won't accept him as her dad. She avoided Will, and hasn't spoken to him, by not working on the project with him. She's spent more time with Livy and some of her friends]

[Scene: Rachel's room in the place she's staying. She's lying on her bed, looking at a photo of Reilly http://www.littlewoodsextra.com/images/products/mag/um/um156v7m.jpg (isn't she cute? =)) _______________________________________
[Scene: Reilly's sitting on a train, which is just pulling out, looking out the window smiling, excitedly. There's a girl sitting beside her, about 17]
Girl: (to Reilly) Hey.
Reilly: (looks at her and smiles) Hey.
Girl: (holding out her hand) I'm Corrie Harris.
Reilly: (shakes her hand) Reilly Green. So, are you going to Pennsylvania?
Corrie: Yeah, I'm going to see my dad.
Reilly: I'm going to see my mom.
[Scene: Later on. A train station, Reilly and Corrie are getting off]
Reilly: I might see you back in New York?
Corrie: (smiles) Yeah, maybe.
Reilly: (swings her backpack over her shoulder, and picks up her suitcase) See ya, around.
Corrie: Bye. (she leaves)
Reilly: (looks around) Then walks out of the station.
End of part 3
[Cut to Rachel on the phone in her room. It keeps cutting back and forth]
Rachel: Uh.hey Mon.
Monica: Hey! Oh my god it's been so long!
Rachel: (smiles slightly) Yeah it has! (pause) So...uh.you met Reilly?
Monica: Yeah, she's great.
Rachel: What about Ross, are they getting along?
Monica: Um.well.she hasn't really spoken to him.
Rachel: (sighs) Yeah, she's actually like that a lot.
Monica: Really? So you don't think it's because of Ross?
Rachel: She's a tough kid, and she acts it.
Monica: (smiles) Yeah, well. She's impressed Joey with her basketball tricks, and she's getting along with Pheebs.
Rachel: So how's it going over there? Are you with anyone?
Monica: Oh, yeah! You're not gonna believe this!
Rachel: (excited) What?
Monica: Me and Chandler got married!
Rachel: Noooo!
Monica: I know! (they laugh) And we have a daughter, Livy.
Rachel: Oh that's so great Mon!
Monica: Here, let me put you on speakerphone. (puts the phone down and presses a button]
Ross/Chandler: Hey Rach.
Rachel: Hey, guys. Who's there?
Ross: Me and Chandler.
(just then Livy runs in)
Livy: Hey, Mom, hey dad! (kisses there cheeks) Hey Uncle Ross.
Ross/Chandler/Monica: Hey/Hi Sweetie/Hi honey.
Monica: Um, this is Rachel on the phone.
Rachel: Hi.
Livy: (shyly) Uh, hey Rachel.
(just then Reilly knocks and walks in)
Ross: Hey Reilly.
Reilly: (coldly) Hey
Rachel: (on the phone) Hey! What have I told you, Rye.
Reilly: (looks at the phone) Mom?!
Rachel: Hey baby.
Reilly: (sits on the couch next to the phone) Hey, how's it going?
Rachel: Well, I've had to go and to this doctor and tell her about everything that's happened, and I mean everything! I'm staying at this home place with other (pause) suicidal people.
Reilly: (sarcastically) Sounds fun.
Rachel: So what have you been up to?
Reilly: Nothing much. I've played basketball a few times with Joey, and Phoebe's lent me a book.
Rachel: How's school?
Reilly: Mom, I hated school over there, when I knew everyone, no I'm at a new school with nobody I know it's the same subject (Rachel laughs a little) And, to make it worse, I don't have you here to run home to moan about it to! (Rachel laughs more) but there is some cute guys here, but they act like pigs!
Rachel: Missing Brad?
Reilly: Well, we took a break for when I left (pause, remembering what Phoebe told her) What is your definition of a 'break'?
Rachel: Well.
Reilly: Does that mean you can go on dates with different people?
Rachel: (pause) Why don't you ask Brad?
Reilly: I guess, I wouldn't want to get a break, mixed with a break 'up'.
Rachel: (confused) Are you getting at something?
Reilly: No.
Rachel: Well I gotta go now, but if you ever need someone to moan to after school, I'm just a phone call away!
Reilly: (laughs) Yeah, your mobile?
Rachel: Yeah. I'll talk to you later, Sweetie.
Reilly: (smiling) Okay, bye Mom.
Rachel: Bye (to the guys) Bye guys!
All: Bye Rach/Talk to ya later
(Rachel hangs up, and Monica takes speakerphone of)
Reilly: (to Chandler) Hey, do you know where Joey is?
Chandler: He's got an audition.
Reilly: Oh yeah, he told me. (pause) You wanna go shoot some hoops?
Chandler: Yeah, sure.
Reilly: Great (walks towards the door, then turns around) I just need to take my school things home, I'll meet you at the park in half an hour.
Chandler: All right. (she leaves)
Ross: (groans) See! She's practically ignoring me! She gets on better with Joey!
Livy: (rolls her eyes)
Chandler: Maybe she was just.upset about something.
Ross: She just asked you to go and play basketball with her!
Monica: Ross, she's lived her whole life without a father, and now, maybe she's just uncomfortable. And her mom's just tried to commit suicide.
Ross: (sighs) I just.I wish I was there for her, y'know.
Livy: Mom, can you help me with my biology homework?
Monica: I can't honey, I got a late shift.
Livy: (to Chandler) Dad?
Chandler: I'm playing basketball with Reilly, remember, but you can come if you like.
Livy: No, I gotta do this.
Ross: I can help ya. (stands up) Seeing as I've got nothing else to do.
(Chandler and Monica share looks)
Livy: (smiles) Thanks.
[Scene: A room, Rachel is there with Dr Milan again]
Rachel: (looking down) When I found out Ashley had leukaemia.I.I felt like I'd failed her, like.like I'd failed Reilly because she didn't have her real dad. (pause) I'd failed both my children, you have no idea what that feels like. (pause) I was told she had about 12 months to live, 18 at the most.but she died at four. (wipes at a tear in her eye) I just shut out after that.Reilly, she.she didn't understand properly, I'd always given her all the attention she ever wanted (takes a deep breath) Garry stuck around after that, for four months.looking after her (she's crying silently) But.then something happened to her.
Flashback
[Fade to: Rachel, Garry and Reilly (6) are walking along a path in a park, there's a busy road next to them. Rachel is walking further behind them]
Reilly: (runs up to the swings) Garry, push me!
Rachel: (walks over to a bench and sits down, staring ahead)
Garry: (walks behind Reilly, but keeps looking at Rachel) All right.
Time Lapse (Rachel is still sitting on the bench. Garry stops the swing, and Reilly giggles)
Garry: How about you go and play on the slide now, honey?
Reilly: (giggling, sweetly, jumps of the swing) Okay! (runs towards it)
Garry: (smiles after her, then looks over at Rachel and walks towards her) Hey, Rach.
Rachel: (not looking up) Hi.
Garry: (sits down beside her, and puts his arm around her) C'mon Rach, you gotta stop this. (Rachel keeps staring) Honey, you can't keep doing this to yourself.
[cut over to Reilly sitting on the bottom of the slide looking at them, she turns around and sees a squirrel about 9 feet in front of her]
Reilly: (breaks into a smile) Hiya! (walks towards it)
[Cut back to Rachel and Garry]
Rachel: (speaking with no emotion) I let her down. Just like I let down Reilly.
Garry: You didn't let any of them down, Sweetie.
Rachel: (without emotion) Reilly doesn't have a father, and my baby died when she was four months old (turns her head and looks at him) If that isn't letting your kids down what is?
(All of a sudden there's the sound of a child's terrified scream, a horn of a car, and a crash..)
Rachel: (V.O) We spent hours in that hospital, just waiting.
[Cut back to room]
Rachel:.I realised then, I couldn't keep doing that. My little girl need me, and I needed her. (pause, she wipes her eyes) But.although I could face Reilly, I couldn't face Garry. (pause) I called of the engagement while we were there, but asked him to stay for Reilly, until we found out if she was all right. (pause) I was so happy when the doctor came and said the operation went good. She had a fractured skull and a broken leg. I couldn't believe someone so small could survive that.
Dr Milan: But she did.
Rachel: (nods, slowly.)
[Fade to: Reilly's room at Ross's. She's sitting on her bed, which is covered in clothes on one part, reading her book, or just looking at it. There's a knock at the door. She looks at it, and groans, thinking it's Ross]
Reilly: (reluctantly) Come in. (someone pushes the door open, it's Livy, surprised) Hey!
Livy: (smiles shyly) Hi.
Reilly: (moves over on the bed) How did you get in?
Livy: Uh.your dad let me in.
Reilly: (stood up and walked over, pulling her in slightly and closes the door)
Livy: Um.so.why do you hate your dad so much?
Reilly: (shrugs, not used to talking to other people other than Rachel) He's a stranger to me (flings herself on the bed) He doesn't know anything about me.
Livy: Well.Ross is a really great guy, and.maybe you should give him a chance.
Reilly: (rolls her eyes) Yeah, sure. (pause) So what're you into?
Livy: Um.I uh.like.
Reilly: (pushes her clothes of the bed) You can sit down if you want.
Livy: (slowly came over and sat beside her)
Reilly: You're shy, huh?
Livy: Yeah.people always say that.
Reilly: How old are you?
Livy: I just turned 12 three months ago. How about you?
Reilly: 13.
Livy: (pause) Have fun at school?
Reilly: (rolled her eyes) I hate it. (pulls out her timetable) But I have art tomorrow first thing, so.
Livy: You like art, huh?
Reilly: (smiles) Yeah, I love designing things. Especially clothes!
Livy: (smiles back)
Reilly: You like school?
Livy: Yeah, I like maths best.
Reilly: (nods)
Livy: (stands up) Well, I gotta go, I'll see ya around?
Reilly: Yeah, see ya! (Livy leaves)
(Reilly looks at the picture of Rachel on the nightstand, then walks over to her cupboard. She pulls out a purple portfolio and walks back to the bed. Sits down and pulls out drawing of clothes she'd designed. She smiled, then looked down at her clothes. She was wearing baggy cargo pants and a grey top)
Flashback
[Fade to. Shopping mall. Rachel and Reilly (13) are looking at clothes]
Reilly: There is no way I'd ever wear those! (points to the same cargo pants she's wearing back in the present) They just totally don't go with me.
Rachel: (holding them) Just for when you're other clothes are in the wash, or when you go to clean the stables, I hate having to wash your good clothes because of that.
Reilly: (grabs them) All right! But I'll only wear them when I'm really miserable! (walks away towards the counter, Rachel laughed and shook her head, following her)
Back to
[Reilly's bedroom. She smiled slightly at the memory, the takes out a blank piece of paper from the folder and started drawing something]
Time Lapse
[Reilly finished and put it in the folder. She turned and looked back at the picture of Rachel, then at a calendar hung on the wall. She swings her legs of the bed, then walks out the room]
Reilly: Ross? (looks around and sees he's not there. Walks into his room and slowly approaches the desk in his room. She picks up his wallet and pulls out some money and looks at it, taking a deep breath. She look around, then leaves, clutching the money she just stole]
[Cut to: Next day, and art classroom. Reilly looks like she's enjoying it. Will's in the same class as her for this too
They're sitting like this. *=students. W=Will R=Reilly
* * R * * * * * * W * * * * * * * * The teacher is speaking]
Teacher:.But.since summer break is coming up, I'd like to have this project finished before then. So I've decided to divide you all into groups of two and three. (looking at something) Daniel Tyler, Heidi Parker and Sandra Hill you'll be working together, Katie-Anne Robinson you'll be working with Colin Andrews, Millie Davidson you'll be working with Cindy Cart, William Globes you'll be working with Reilly Samantha Green.(Reilly's eyes nearly popped out, and she turned around to look at him. He smiled a little at her, but she just turned back to the front. The teacher finished) You have two months and two weeks to do this, and I expect good work from you all. (bell rings) Class dismissed (the students get up to leave)
Will: (walks up to Reilly) So, looks like we're paired up.
Reilly: (walking out the room, clutching her books) Not by choice (opens her locker, and shoves them in, the pulls out her maths book. Coldly) two and a half months to design a company is gonna be easy.
Will: Yeah, but we've got to make a website for it.
Reilly: (slams her locker, and looks at him for the first time) That will be easy too. (turns on the balls of her feet, and walks towards the stairs, him close behind) Design is one of the only things I'm good at and enjoy at school. (climbs up the stairs) I'd much rather be doing this by myself.
Will: You know.out of all the girls I've met, you're not one bit like them.
Reilly: (casts him a quick glance out the corner of her eye, then turns back around and walks downstairs)
Will: (rolls his eyes, and followed her back down)
Reilly: (angry) Why are you following me?
Will: Trying to be friendly.
Reilly: By stalking me?! (before he could reply, she made a sharp turn into the girls toilets)
Will: (groans, then turns away and walks towards his locker)
Reilly: (after a few minutes, walks out and looks around. She quickly walks up to her locker and puts her books in it, then turns and walks away)
[Cut to: A train station. Reilly walked up to those places where you get tickets]
Reilly: (to the man) Um.hi I was wondering if I could get a return train ticket to Pennsylvania.
Man: When for?
Reilly: May 28th.
Man: (pulls a ticket out from a drawer) That'll be $70 (I don't know! =))
Reilly: (reaches into her pocket and pulls out some money and hands it to him)
Man: (takes it, then hands her the ticket)
Reilly: Thanks (turns and runs towards the road, and hails a cab)
[Fade to: Ross'. Reilly comes in and walks over to the phone, she'd found out where Rachel was staying, and dial a number]
Reilly: Hi.this is Reilly Green. (pause) I was wondering if I could come and visit my Mom. (pause) Rachel Karen Green (pause) The 29th of May. (pause) Would we be allowed to go out? (pause, she smiles) Thanks. I was wondering if you could not tell her I'm coming (pause) I want to surprise her (pause) right thanks. Bye. (hangs up, and smiles a little)
Time Lapse
Reilly: (was sleeping on the couch)
Ross: (walked in and saw her) Reilly?
Reilly: (slowly opened her eyes and looked at him) Wha?
Ross: Why aren't you at school? (puts his briefcase down)
Reilly: (sits up, trying to decided whether or not to speak to him) Sore stomach.
Ross: (concerned) Are you all right?
Reilly: (thinks for a moment, then adds) That time of month.
Ross: (nearly chocked) Oh! Oh, um.okay.
Reilly: Um.listen there's this trip the school's taking us on.I was wondering if I could go?
Ross: (surprised she was talking to him) Um.when?
Reilly: May 28th. (pause) Can I?
Ross: yeah, sure (pause) How much is it?
Reilly: (pausing, she could really use some more cash, but didn't want to take to much) Um.$20.
Ross: (raises his eyebrows, then hands her a $20 bill) How long will you be away for?
Reilly: (putting the note in her pocket) About a week.
Ross: (nods) All right.
Reilly: (nods, then walks into her room)
[Monica & Chandler's. Ross, Chandler and Monica are there]
Ross: So she's going on the trip in three weeks.
Monica: (smiles) Where's she going?
Ross: Well.she didn't say. But I hope she has a great time.
Livy: (comes in) Hey.
Ross/Monica/Chandler: Hi/Hey/Hi Sweetie.
Chandler: Are you going to the trip as well?
Livy: (confused) What trip?
Monica: The school trip.
Livy: (just kept looking confused)
Monica: The one that Reilly's going on.
Livy: (realises) Oh! Um.that was just her year that was going. (pause) Um.is Reilly at home just now, Uncle Ross?
Ross: (nodded) Yeah.
Livy: (putting her school bag down) Is it okay if I go 'round?
Ross: Yeah, sure (throws her a key) Just incase she's locked it.
Livy: (smiles and nods. Then leaves)
[Cut to: Ross'. Reilly is watching the TV, painting her toe-nails. There a knock at the door]
Reilly: (not getting up) Who is it?
Livy: (O.S) It's me.
Reilly: Come in.
Livy: (comes in)
Reilly: Hey. (nods to the chair) Have a seat.
Livy: (sits down. It's silent for a moment) Where're you going?
Reilly: (looks up) Huh?
Livy: There isn't a school trip.
Reilly: (pause, angry) If you tell anyone, I will kill you!
Livy: (pause) Where are you going.
Reilly: (puts the nail polish down, and swings her legs of the couch) To see my Mom.
Livy: (surprised) What?
Reilly: It's my birthday and I want to spend it with her.
Livy: (stares at her) Does Uncle Ross know?
Reilly: (gives her a look) No
Livy: okay. (pause) Um.do you think this is a good idea?
Reilly: I don't care. (stands up)
Livy: (closes her eyes and shakes her head) What if your dad finds out?
Reilly: If Ross finds out, then he finds out. (walks into the kitchen, and comes out with a drink) I don't care, it's not like he can do anything to me.
Livy: Reilly.
Reilly: If you tell him, you're history!
Livy: I won't.
Reilly: (keeps looking at her) You're the only person who knows about this.so if he finds out, I'll know you told him.
Livy: I wont, I swear.
Reilly: Good.
[Fade to: A few days later. Ross'. Reilly and Will are there doing their project, she's not happy]
Reilly: What d'ya think?
Will: (nods) Sounds good (looks at her) You're really talented.
Reilly: (looks at him surprised, only Rachel had ever said that to her) Uh.thanks.
Will: (smiles slightly) Any other hidden ones?
Reilly: What?
Will: Talents?
Reilly: (blushed slightly) Um.well.I play basketball.
Will: (surprised) Uh.you play basketball?
Reilly: Yeah. Do you?
Will: (smiles and nods)
Reilly: I thought you were on the football team?
Will: Uh.yeah I play both.
Reilly: (looks at a piece of paper which they'd been working on, then back up at him) I was just wondering something, don't you have to be 15 to get on the football team?
Will: (embarrassed) Yeah, uh, I was kept back a year.
Reilly: So you're 15 then?
Will: (nods) Yeah. I'll be 16 next month. (pause) How old are you?
Reilly: 13, I'll be 14 in three weeks though.
Will: (smiles) Um.do you want to catch a movie tonight?
Reilly: (looks like she's thinking about it) Sure.
Will: Great! (looks at his watch) I gotta go (looks at her) I'll pick you up about 6?
Reilly: All right.
Will: (they stand up) I'll see ya later?
Reilly: Yeah.
Will: 'Kay (leaves)
Reilly: (takes a deep breath, then look at the phone. She picks it up and dials a number) Hey Brad, It's Reilly. (smiles and laughs) Yeah!
Brad: So how are ya?
Reilly: Fine.
Brad: Did you find out what your dad did?
Reilly: Yeah, he cheated on Mom.
Brad: (surprised) What?!
Reilly: I know, that's what I was like!
Brad: Did you talk to him about it?
Reilly: No, I practically stopped talking to him altogether.
Brad: (sighs) Yeah, mighta figured you'd do that.
Reilly: (laughs) Camon, I'm not that bad! (they both laugh) um.Brad?
Brad: Yeah?
Reilly: We're on a break, right?
Brad: Yeah?
Reilly: Does that mean we can date other people?
Brad: (pause) Yeah, sure (pause) You going on a date?
Reilly: (thinking for a moment) No, I was just wondering.
Brad: (smiles) So how've you been?
Reilly: Well.Monica and Chandler's daughter, Livy's, all right..
[Cut to: Later that night. Reilly's room. She's wearing a short leather skirt (like Rachel would wear) and a blue tank top, with knee-high-boots. She's putting on her make-up. This was the first time she'd worn something other than the cargo pants she'd been wearing with random T-shirts over the past week or two]
Reilly: (comes out her room into the living room. Ross is there) I'm going out.
Ross: (turns to look at her, and sees her, he nearly drops his coffee) W.wha.what are you wearing?
Reilly: I got a date, I wanted to look nice.
Ross: You.you're not going out like that young lady! And a date?!
Reilly: Why?!
Ross: You'll look like a slut!
Reilly: (glares at him) For your 411, I always used to dress like this at home when I went on dates.
Ross: 411?
Reilly: Information.
Ross: Maybe your Mom used to let you dress like that, but I'm not.
Reilly: (angry now) It's not up to you what I wear, or what I do. I'm only here cause I have to be! (there's a knock at the door. She answers it, it's Will) Come in.
Will: (comes in and sees her) Uh.h.hey, Reilly.
Reilly: Hey Will (to Ross, still angry) Ross this is Will. Will this is Ross.
Will: (shakes his hand) Hi.
Ross: So where are you taking my daughter?
Will: The movies.
Ross: And.uh.how old are you?
Will: Fifteen.
Ross: (to Reilly) And how old are you, again?
Reilly: (sarcastically) Well, you wouldn't know who you? (to Will) Camon, lets go. (To Ross) I'll be back at 12. (starts to leave)
Ross: 11.
Reilly: (turns and shrugs) Whatever (then leaves with a bewildered Will)
[Cut to: Street, Reilly is dragging Will out of the building]
Will: What was that about?
Reilly: (stops pulling him, and lets go of his hand) He's just being a jerk.
Will: (pause) Okay. Lets go then.
Reilly: All right.
Time Lapse
[It's dark. Reilly and Will are coming back, laughing]
Reilly: That was actually fun.
Will: (smiles at her) Good. (He slowly leans in and kisses her)
Reilly: (pulls back after a moment) I'll see you at school.
Will: (smiles and nods) Night.
Reilly: Night (She turns and goes into the building)
[A room. Rachel is lying on a bed with a piece of paper in front of her holding a pen. She looks like she is thinking then starts writing]
[Scene: School corridor. Reilly and Livy are standing by the lockers talking]
Livy: What if your dad finds out from the school or something.
Reilly: (rolls her eyes, opening her locker and puts some books in) Why do you worry so much?
Livy: I don't, but this is serious.
Reilly: (closes her locker) Yes it is. I haven't seen my Mom in nearly a month, and she needs me. (they start walking down the hall)
Livy: Where are you going?
Reilly: To the park.
Livy: (looks around) I thought you had maths.
Reilly: I do, that's the point.
Livy: Reilly.
Reilly: Look, are you coming, or are you going to class? (opens the door, and turns around)
Livy: I'm coming with you. (walks out, and they start walking down the school steps)
Reilly: Just stop going on about where I'm going. Cause no matter what anyone says I'm still gonna go. (she keeps looking a head, while Livy turns slightly to look at her) What class have you got after recess?
Livy: Biology. You?
Reilly: (rolls her eyes) Chemistry.
Livy: Hey, I've got a few mates coming over tonight, ya wanna come?
Reilly: Who?
Livy: Um.Andy, Scott, Kristen and Becky. Katie said she come round, but she might have to go to her dad's.
Reilly: (nods and shrugs) Yeah, sure.
Livy: (smiles) Great! (Reilly smiles slightly, as they approach central park)
Reilly: Can you play basketball?
Livy: (shakes her head) I'm crap at it.
Reilly: (walks over to the swings) Maybe I could teach you? (they both sit down)
Livy: Um.I don't know. I've seen how good you are at it, and you'd just get impatient with me.
Reilly: I've been playing since I was 5 years old, it took me about a year to learn, so I know how hard it might be.
Livy: (looks over at the fenced-in basketball area) All right.
Reilly: (breaks into a smile) Great! (jumps of the swing) Camon (runs towards it, with Livy running behind her trying to catch up)
Reilly: (looks around trying to see if anyone left a ball, and found one sitting in the corner, she walks over and picks it up) Okay, d'ya know the basics?
Livy: Um.what are they?
Reilly: (shrugs) Throwing the ball (throws it to her, she catches it) The rules.
Livy: Um.I know how to throw it.
Reilly: Okay, you can only move with the ball if you're bouncing it.but if you stop you have to pass it to someone on your team.
[Scene: Room. Rachel and Dr. Milan are there]
Dr Milan: Why did you leave New York?
Rachel: (looks at her for a moment) Ross.
Flashback
Ross: Come on Rach, you don't have what, ten minutes?
Rachel: I don't have ten minutes!!
Ross: What? (to Sophie) Sophie, does she have ten minutes?
Rachel: Hey, Ross!!! I told you I don't!
Ross: Don't yell at me okay, this is the most I've seen you all week.
Rachel: Look, I cannot do this right now, okay, I've got a deadline, would you just go home, I'll talk to you later. (storms out)
Ross: Yeah, but wait...
Rachel: Good bye!
Time Lapse [Monica and Rachel's. Ross is sitting there eating the picnic he'd packed]
Ross: Hey.
Rachel: Hi. Look um, about what happened earlier...
Ross: No, hey, well, I-I completely understand. You were, you were stressed.
Rachel: (throws her stuff down) I was gonna give you a chance to apologise to me.
Ross: For what? For letting you throw me out of your office?
Rachel: You had no right coming down to my office Ross. You do not bring a picnic basket to somebody's work! Unless maybe they were a park ranger!
Ross: Yeah, well excuse me for wanting to be with my girlfriend on our anniversary, boy what an ass am I.
Rachel: But I told you, I didn't have the time!
Ross: Yeah, well you never have the time. I mean, I don't feel like I even have a girlfriend anymore, Rachel.
Rachel: You want me, you want me to quit my job so you can feel like you have a girlfriend?
Ross: No, but it'd be nice if you realised, it's just a job!
Rachel: Just a job!
Ross: Yes.
Rachel: Ross do you realise this is the first time in my life I'm doing something I actually care about.
Ross: Is this about Mark?
Rachel: (shocked) Oh my God.
Ross: Okay, what do you want me to do.
Rachel: I don't know, I don't know. Urrrgh! Look, maybe we should take a break.
Ross: Okay, okay, fine, you're right. Let's ah, let's take a break, (goes to the door) let's cool off, okay, let's get some frozen yogart, or something.. (opens the door)
Rachel: No. (Ross is standing in the doorway.) A break from us.
(Ross looks at her, then leaves slamming the door behind him.)
Time Lapse [Rachel is there with Mark]
Rachel: I told him I wanted to take a break, I don't want to take a break. And then I called him, and he wasn't there.
Mark: Well, then he's, he's probably just, out.
Rachel: Oh, thank you that's very helpful, I'm glad you came over.
Time Lapse [Ross & Rachel are on the phone]
Ross: Is that Mark?
Rachel: Umm, honey, look he just came over to....
[Cut to The Philly.]
Ross: Yeah! Got it! (slams the phone down)
[Cut back to: Room. Rachel and Dr Milan are there]
Dr Milan: Who was Mark?
Rachel: This guy who helped me find a job. Ross got all jealous over him and we had problems from then.
Dr Milan: And that's when you broke up.
Rachel: (looks at her) No.the break up was ten times worse than that.
Flashback [Monica & Rachel's]
Monica: How's the big anniversary dinner?
Rachel: Well, we never actually got to dinner.
Monica: Ohhh, nice.
Rachel: No, we kinda broke up instead.
[Scene: Ross']
Ross: . (opens the door, sees Rachel, and hides Chloe behind the door) Rachel!!!!
Rachel: Hi. Ohhh, you got my message.
Ross: Yeah, oh hey, you are right on time.
Rachel: So what do you say? Can I be your girlfriend again?
Ross: Yes, you can, very much.
[Cut to Monica & Rachel's, Rachel is trying to close the door on Ross.]
Ross: (forcing the door open) Come on, Rachel, come on! Talk to me! Please!!
Rachel: I can't talk to you. I can't even look at you right now!
Ross: Rachel?
Rachel: Just get away from me!
Ross: No, it was a mistake! I made a mistake! Okay?
Rachel: A mistake?! What were you trying to put it in? Her purse?! Ross, you had sex with another woman! (opening the door) Y'know what, I want you to leave! Get outta here!
Ross: No!!
Rachel: Just get out! Now!!
Ross: No!! No!! I wanna stay. I wanna talk about this.
Rachel: Okay! All right! How was she?
Ross: What?
Rachel: Was she good?
Time Lapse [he's on the coffee table, she's on the couch]
Ross: Y'know what, y'know what, I'm-I'm not the one that wanted that, that break, okay. You're the one that bailed on us. You're the one that, that ran when things got just a little rough!
Rachel: That's....
Ross: That's what?!
Rachel: That is neither here nor there.
Ross: Okay, well here we are. Now we're in a tough spot again, Rach. What do you want to do? How do you want to handle it? Huh? Do you wanna fight for us? Or, do you wanna bail? (sits down next to her) Look, I, (on the verge of tears) I did a terrible, stupid, stupid thing. Okay? And I'm sorry, I wish I could take it back, but I can't. (We see Monica and Phoebe are almost in tears.) I just can't see us throwing away something we know is so damn good. Rachel, I love you so much.
(He kisses her on her shoulder, then her neck, then the side of her face, then just before he kisses her on the lips....)
Rachel: No Ross!! (stands up and moves away from him) Don't! You can't just kiss me and think you're gonna make it all go away, okay? It doesn't work that way. It doesn't just make it better. Okay?
Ross: Okay, okay, okay.
Rachel: (softly) I think you should go.
Ross: What?
Rachel: (softly) I really think you need to go now.
Ross: (moving over to stand in front of her) Okay, okay. This morning you said there was nothing so big that we couldn't work past it together...
Rachel: Yeah, what the hell did I know!
Ross: Look, look, there's got to be a way we can work past this. Okay, (takes a hold of one of her arms.) I can't imagine, I can't imagine my life without you. (Both of them are starting to cry.) Without, without these arms, and your face, and this heart. Your good heart Rach, (drops to his knees and hugs her around her waist) and, and....
Rachel: (crying) No. I can't, you're a totally different person to me now. I used to think of you as somebody that would never, ever hurt me, ever. God, and now I just can't stop picturing with her, I can't, (Ross stands up and backs away) it doesn't matter what you say, or what you do, Ross. It's just changed, everything. Forever.
Ross: (crying) Yeah, but this can't be it, I mean.
(pause)
Rachel: Then how come it is?
[Cut back to: Room. Rachel's crying slightly]
Dr Milan: When did you find out you were pregnant?
Rachel: (takes a deep breath) About a week later, I didn't tell anyone.I just.ran. Like Ross said I do.
Dr Milan: Would he have been a bad father?
Rachel: (looks up and shakes her head) He has a son, Ben. He was a great dad.
Dr Milan: Isn't your daughter staying with him now?
Rachel: (nods, sniffing) But I know Reilly, Ross'll need a lot of patience with her.

Chandler/Monica: (shocked) What?!/Oh my god!
Livy: (knows it was Reilly) Are you sure you didn't put it down somewhere?

Chandler: You think someone stole it from you?
Ross: (shrugs) Someone must have.
Monica: You better report this.

Monica: (to Ross and Chandler) I can't believe she would do that! Ross I'm so sorry.
Ross: (shakes his head) Aw.it doesn't matter. (puts his wallet away) At least I didn't call the cops.

[Ross'. Reilly is sitting on the couch reading. Ross walks in]

Reilly: Why?
Livy: (puts the TV off and stands up) It's not important.
Reilly: (looks at her)
Livy: (sighs) Uncle Ross found $100 missing from his wallet and I took the blame.
Reilly: (shocked) Livy, that was me!
Livy: I know, but.
Reilly: (rolls her eyes) Livy
Livy: I was just trying to help.
Reilly: (looks at her, and smiles a little) Thanks.(pause) But it isn't fair for you to do this.
Livy: (raises her eyebrows) Since when was life fair?
Reilly: (thinking back on her life) Um.well it's not, but, I can make this fair.
Livy: You really want to have to explain why you took the money?
Reilly: (thinking about it) No. (pause, looks at her) You ever need me to do anything for you just tell me, okay?

Kristen: (to Reilly) Did you have fun at the basketball game?
Reilly: (nods) Yeah, it was all right.
Girl: (walks over with two girls. To Reilly) Hey, are you Reilly?
Reilly: (looks at them, confused) Why, is it any of your business?
Girl: (angry) It is my business when you go out on a date with my boyfriend!
Reilly: Will?
Girl: (rolls her eyes. Sarcastically) Who do you think?
Reilly: (sarcastically) Gee, I'm sorry (normal voice) For your information, he's the one that asked me out.
Other girl1: Will would never do that to Clara.
Other girl2: They've been going out for nearly a year.
Reilly: (to Clara) Maybe you bore him, or you're too controlling.
Clara: (glaring a her) You don't even know me.
Reilly: (glares back at her) Go to hell (tries to walk passed her)
Clara: (grabs her and pulls her back) I don't think so, Missy.
Reilly: (yanks her arm back and says angrily) Touch me again and you're dead!
Livy: (to Reilly) Reilly, lets just go.
Clara: (sarcastically, to Reilly) I'm so scared. How old are you, like thirteen?
Reilly: (clenched a fist) You want to lose a few teeth?
Clara: (just smirks at her)
Reilly: (angry, hits her in the face with her fist, causing her to stumble backwards)
Clara: (quickly stands up straight) You little bitch! (slaps her)
Reilly: (pushes her against the lockers. Livy looks worried, a crowd had formed around them)

[Scene: Principal's office. Clara and Reilly are sitting there on their own]
Clara: Stay away from Will.
Reilly: (looks at her) I think that's a choice I get to make.
Clara: (glares at her) I'll just talk to Will.
Reilly: (shrugs) Fine, I don't like him much anyway. We just got paired together for a project.
Clara: (not believing her, coldly) Then why did you go on a date with him?
Reilly: (shrugs) I wanted to catch a movie and I didn't have anyone to go with.
Clara: Yeah, right!
Reilly: (looks at her) Fine don't believe me, but it's true, you can have him.
Clara: (pause) What's wrong with him?
Reilly: (looks out the window and shrugs) He's not my type.
Clara: You have no taste! (looks away)
Reilly: (smirks to herself) Actually you have no taste.
Clara: (turns and glares at her. Before she can say anything, Ross and the principal walk in)

[Scene: Ross'. Reilly and Ross enter. Reilly starts to walk towards her room]
Ross: Not so fast, young lady!
Reilly: (stops and turns around) What?!
Ross: Why were you fighting with that girl today?
Reilly: (coldly) Is that any of your business?
Ross: Yes! It is. You're my daughter, and I want to be apart of your life.
Reilly: (stares at him and then looks down)
Ross: (walks towards her) Reilly, why can't you just give me a chance to be your dad?
Reilly: (looks at him) I don't need a dad, all I need is Mom. And she needs me, but I'm stuck here, and I hate that!
Ross: You do need a dad, Reilly.
Reilly: (looks down) You don't know anything about me.
Ross: Reilly, I'm sorry I wasn't there for you, but.
Reilly: (looks up) It doesn't matter. I survived. (turns and walks towards her room)
Ross: Reilly.
Reilly: (turns and looks at him, softly, holding back tears) Just leave me alone, Ross (goes into her room)
Ross: (looks after he, his face hurt)
[Cut to: Reilly's room. She closes the door and wipes at the tear rolling down her cheek, frustrated]
Reilly: (goes over to the phone and dials a number. Pause) Hey Brad, it's me (pause) I miss you too (pause) I'm coming over in three weeks. (pause) Well.I've just been suspended for fighting in school (pause) Yeah, whatever. (pause) Yeah.
[Scene: Next day. Ross'. He's sitting in the kitchen eating his breakfast. Reilly walks in]
Ross: Hey Reilly.
Reilly: (walking over to the cupboard. Quietly) Hey. (she pulls out a box of cereal)
Ross: (standing up) What are you gonna be doing today?
Reilly: (shrugs)
Ross: (sighs) I gotta go to work (picks up his briefcase) I'll see you later.
Reilly: (pouring milk into her cereal) Yeah, sure.
Ross: You gonna be all right?
Reilly: (pouring herself a drink) Yes. (Ross looks at her for a minute, then leaves. The phone rings, Reilly gets it) Hello? (pause) Hey Monica (pause) No you just missed him (pause) I was suspended for fighting (pause) This little bitch. I went out with this guy, who was her boyfriend. (pause) He'll be home at lunch, do you want me to give him a message? (pause) All right, bye.
