Annie is making breakfast .Mary comes in
"Hey mom"
"Whats going on?"
"Nothing really"
"You got mail"
"From who?"
"Read it"
"Is it from him?"
"I don't know"
"It better be divorce papers"
"You are not gonna talk to him about this?"
"No"
"Why not?"
"Because he hurt me"
"I understand that but..."
"You don't understand!"
"Mary I do"
"NO. NO YOU DON'T! Everyone thinks that they understand but they don't. People say to me I know how you are feeling but they don't. No one does. So stop trying to make me feel better but the truth is its making me miserable!" Mary leaves. Eric comes in
"Was that the morning fight?"
"Shut up"
"What just happened?"
"Carlos"
"Enough said"
"I am going to talk to her" Annie leaves and goes up stairs
"Mary please talk to me"
"What is it mom?"
"I am sorry. You are right. I don't understand whats happening to you and I may never know but I hate to see you miserable but you have to make a decision. Are you going to stay with Carlos or leave him? It's your decision and I am going to support it"
"Thank you"
"You are welcome" Mary and Annie hug
"Excuse me but I need to call my lawyer"
"You made up your mind already?"
"No. I had made up my mind. I just needed a wake up call. I couldn't admit it."
"Admit what?"
"That dad was right about Carlos when I married him"
"If I was you never admit that to your father"
Mary laughed
"Ok"
"Mom!" Riley screamed
"What?"
"The ooga booga man is here!"
"Who is the ooga booga man?"
"It's a daddy"
"He is here?"
"Yeah"
"MOM!" Landon and Anna screamed
"What?"
"That man is here"
"I know I know"
"What are you going to do?" Anna asked
"I have to talk to him"
" Now mommy?" Riley asked
"Yeah sweetie pie now" Mary answered
"Mom dad is here" Dominique said
"I know"
"Good luck mom" Anna said
Mary goes down stairs
"What the hell are you doing here?"
"Came here to see the kids"
"They are not talking you"
"I know that"
"Then why are you here?"
"I hated the way I ended with the kids and you"
"Well good. I want a divorce"
"A what...?"
"You heard me"
"When did you made up your mind about this"
"A long time ago but I was stupid to hold up. I never wanted to hurt the kids but I think I was"
"How is that?"
"Staying married with you"
"There gotta be another way?"
"There is no other way. Just knowing the fact. She kissed you. Knowing the fact she had sex with you. Knowing the fact she was in our house when I was working and the kids were at school. Knowing every time you made an excuse you were with her."
"Give me another chance please"
"No. You hurt me"
"I am sorry"
"It's over"
"Mary. Please don't"
"Don't what? Stick up for myself? This is it. No strings attached. Its over"
"MARY! I LOVE YOU"
"The hell you don't"
"I do"
"If you love me then why did you hurt me?"
