Scene 9- Interrogation room at Police Department- January 12th-8:15 p.m.
Karen, Jack, Will, and Grace all walk in, Karen sits on one side of the table and the other three sit on the other side, they all look at her. They had decided to talk in there so they could have a more private conversation and to try avoiding a scene in the middle of the lobby.
"Spill it Kare" Jack says.
"Alright, I did go see Josey yesterday, it was around noon, I knocked on her apartment door…
Scene 10- Josey's Apartment-A day earlier-12:05 p.m.
Josey awakens to the sound of someone knocking on her door, so she gets out of bed, puts her robe on, and answers the door, expecting it to be Will, Grace, or Jack, she is surprised to see it is Karen.
"Karen" she says confused. "what in the world are you doing here?"
"What do you mean, what in the world am I doing here, we're friends aren't we."
Karen sits on the couch.
"We are" Josey replies.
"Of course we are honey, what do you think?"
"That you didn't like me."
"Oh honey, of course I like you, your Jack's sister, how could I not?" Whatever made you think such a thing?"
"Well, we don't really talk to each other, or even look at each other."
"Come here honey"
Karen pats the couch and Josey sits down next to her.
"Oh, honey don't sit so close" Karen says so Josey scoots to the end of the couch.
"Josey, the reason I haven't said much to you is I don't know what to say.
"You don't know what to say?"
"Yeah, you see, there's something I know, that you should know, but I'm afraid it's going to hurt."
"What is it?" Josey ask.
"Well honey, oh this is hard to say"
"Karen, just tell me, I cant take anymore stalling."
"Okay, here it is, remember the other day we all went to that Madison's Place?"
"Yeah."
"Anyway, when I walked in you were in the restroom, they didn't know I had arrived yet and I heard them talking, Jack was talking about how his social life was much better before you arrived"
"What do you mean, Jack still goes out."
"Yeah, but if Will or Grace cant be when you when he's gone he says he feels guilty and cant enjoy his date."
"That's crazy, Jack would have told me if he was feeling that way, we said we would be honest with each other."
"Honey, I also heard him say, he was so excited when you arrived, but now your just in the way."
"Karen, your mistaken, Jack would have never said it"
"Oh, honey I'm afraid he did, and so did Will and Grace." " They all think your clingy"
"What! No!, we all friends, they invite me to go places with them."
"They were talking about how, when they want to go somewhere they have to make sure somewhere will be with you, and if everyone's busy, someone has to give up their plans."
"No, that's not true, none of them have ever had to give up plans for me, I ask them all the time, if they have somewhere else to go."
"Oh honey, they wouldn't tell you if they did, they hide it from you, they don't want you to feel bad or for you to know they feel sorry for you"
"It's not true, none of them ever stay home, just cause of me."
"Honey, what about the Cher concert I went to the other night?"
"What about it?"
"I had four tickets to it."
"You did?"
"Yeah, see" she pulls out three tickets to the Sat. night Cher concert and hands them to Josey.
Josey takes them and says in a quiet voice
"I cant believe this, they said you could only get one ticket." Tears are in Josey's eyes now and it is getting hard for her to speak.
"I asked them if they were sure and they said yes….they lied to me….they feel….sorry….for me…cause I am new…and don't…know….anyone else…or my way around….I didn't…mean to be….clingy…I thought they liked me."
"I'm sorry I had to be the one to tell you, I just thought you would like to know the truth."
"Well, if they think I'm in the way, I'll just stay out of their way, of course that would be a lot easier if I didn't live down the hall, I'll see them, they'll expect me to talk to them, and when I don't come over, they'll ask questions."
"Well honey, if you would feel more comfortable somewhere else, I can give you money to go wherever you want."
"Really, wherever I want."
"Yeah, how about this, I give you $5,000 dollars, and you can go buy a plane ticket to anywhere you want, have some fun, and get your mind of things."
"What about my job, I cant afford to just leave."
"Well then, I'll give you $10,000, that should be enough for you to live on until you find a job at your new location."
"$10,000 dollars?"
"$10,000 dollars" Karen says and pulls out money.
Josey takes the money and breaks down sobbing.
"Well, I'll go now." Have a nice life"
Karen takes one last look at the girl crying on the couch and then leaves.
Scene 11- Police Department-January 12th- 9:00 p.m.
After Karen finishes telling the story Jack, Will, and Jack just sit there stunned with watery eyes, finally Grace speaks.
"Karen, how could you do such a thing, I didn't think even you were capable of such cruelty."
"You really told me that we all just felt sorry for her and felt she was in the way of our social lives."
"She was trying to take my place, we were a family, she was tearing us apart."
"Karen" Grace says, "Josey never tried to replace you in the group, she wanted to join you in the group."
"She would have replaced me eventually."
"No she wouldn't have before" Grace says "but now she will, I'm disappointed with you, Karen, I was starting to really trust you."
Jack finally speaks
"Karen, I am very disappointed in you, your supposed to be my friend, your supposed to care about the things I care about" he raises his voice and yells "how could you have done this, Josey is my sister, my blood, she meant the world to me and you took her away, that's something an enemy would do, and that's what you are to me now, an enemy, someone…..
"Jack listen" she interrupts.
"No, I wont listen, you listen, were are not friends anymore and I realize to listen to another word that comes out of your mouth except you telling me where she went."
"Yes Karen, where did she know?" Grace asks, "we have to find her"
Karen just sits there.
Will says. "Karen, tell us where she went."
"Karen" Jack yells, "you tell me where she is right now, or I swear to God I'll….."
"I don't know" Karen yells.
Jack continues yelling "what do you mean you don't know, you didn't stop to ask her"
"No, I told you I just gave her the money and left"
"Well, this is just wonderful, my sister is who know where thinking we don't like her, and there's no way to find her, because with $10,000 she could have flown to another country for all we know"
"Come on Jack" Will says. "let's just go, the sooner we start looking for her the better"
Grace snaps her fingers "lets go to the airport, maybe a staff member will remember seeing her and can tell us where she went"
Scene 12- The Airport- January 12th.
Josey is sitting on a chair in the lounge at the airport talking to a nice older woman , her flight had been delayed and she was waiting for the boarding call.
"You know" she says to the older woman "I still cant believe what they thought of me, they all seemed to really like me, well except Karen, I never connected with her at all, I mean she went us places, but we never actually talked to each other, anyway I thought Jack, Will, and Grace really did like me, I was so happy that I had come to this strange city and made such great friends, I felt so lucky, I thought I was finally going to have the perfect life, my life in Arkansas was horrible, of course they don't know about that, anyway, it just really hurts, I love them, I really do and that's why, I'm leaving, I'm not going to….
She stops suddenly because she sees Will, Jack, and Grace enter
The older woman asks "are you alright, sweetheart."
"Yeah, I'm fine, I have to use the bathroom, will you watch my stuff"
"Sure."
Thanks" Josey says and heads towards the bathroom trying to avoid being seen by the trio.
"Oh my god, she's here" Jack exclaims.
"Where" Will and Grace asks.
"Over there"
"It is her" Grace says.
"Josey" they all yell and run towards her, she keeps going but they catch her and jump in front of her.
"Josey, thank goodness you're here, " Will says, "we thought you left yesterday"
"No, I stayed at a hotel last night, I had to decide where I wanted to go."
"Well, you not going anywhere" Jack says. "You have to come back with us."
"No, I don't think so" she replies.
"Josey" Jack says. "Everything Karen told you was a lie, we never said any such things."
"Really, then why did you tell me Karen only had one ticket to that concert"
"Josey" Will says, " the reason we didn't go that concert is because we were mad at Karen for purposely leaving you out"
"Yeah, but you could have gone without me, but you didn't cause you felt sorry for me"
"No Josey" Grace says. "we didn't want to go without you, we told you we were gonna hang out, we planed to be with you that night and we wanted to be."
"Yeah right, you would rather be with me than at a Cher concert"
"Yes," they all say
"So your trying to tell me that nothing Karen said was true"
"Well, one thing was true" Jack said.
"What was that?"
"We don't like you, we love you."\
"Really" Josey asks.
"Yeah" they all say.
"Let's go hang out our place, coming Josey? Grace asks.
They all look at her.
"Yeah" she says, and then they all hug.
They go get her bag and then they all put their arms around each other and head towards Will and Grace's.
Scene 13- Will and Grace's apartment-Midnight
Will, Grace, Jack and Josey are all sitting at the table talking, they have been talking ever since they got back from the airport.
"I'll have to call the nursing home tomorrow and ask for my job back" Josey says, "but I don't think it'll be a problem, they didn't want me to leave in the first place."
The doorbell rings.
Will goes "Isn't it kind of late for people to be coming over?"
"It's probably someone who has the wrong apartment, I'll get it."
Josey opens the door and sees Karen standing there.
"Hi" Karen says.
