What's The Time?
(The Hospital)
Mimi and Dr. Jacobs followed behind Mark, into the room. When they got to Mickey's bed, Mickey was looking around.
"Where the hell am I?" She asked.
"Mickey, I am Dr. Jacobs. Five years ago you were shot and almost died, but ended up slipping into a coma." He explained.
"Really? Who are they?" Mickey asked pointing to Mimi and Mark.
"I'm your older sister…Mimi." Mimi answered hoping that would ring a bell.
"I'm your husband, Mark."
"I'm married?"
Dr. Jacobs took her hand in his and rubbed it, gently. Mickey gave him a warm smile. Mark cleared his throat, after getting the feeling that Dr. Jacobs was putting the moves on his wife.
"I'm going to leave you three alone. Just take it easy on her." Dr. Jacobs said, as he left the room.
"You seem a little threatened by that doctor." Mickey said, pointing to the door.
"How could you tell?"
"I don't know. You just seem like the type of guy who tries his best to guard his territory and hold on tight to whatever is his."
"I wouldn't really call you territory, you're my wife."
"You must be a good husband."
"He is." Mimi said. "He hasn't had sex or been or a date in 5 years."
Mickey laughed at Mark who was now blushing.
"You look cute when you blush." Mickey said with a smile.
"Thank you."
(The Mall)
"I'm going to fucking kill her!" Maureen said, standing up.
"Mo, just relax. Ok?"
"No, Collins, she's confusing the hell out of me. I'm lost!
"Talk to me about it."
Maureen slid back down onto the floor and blew the piece of hair in front of her face.
Flashback
January 18th 2003 8pm Eastern Standard Time
(Maureen and Joanne's home)
Maureen had just gotten home from play practice. A month before, she announced that she was playing the role of Mrs. Lovett in the production of Sweeney Todd. She had been working non stop for past year with all her Theater work. At one point she was even Directing. Since it was a Friday night, Scotty was spending the night at his friend Alex's house and Elsie was spending the weekend with the Davis family (Roger wasn't to excited about that).
When she came home, Maureen didn't see Joanne's car, so she thought she was working late and when she came into the house, the lights were off, but she heard sounds coming from upstairs. She slowly walked up the stairs, towards her bedroom. The door was shut and looked like candle lighting was coming from the bottom crack of the door. The sound began to come in clearer and it turned into moans.
Maureen swung the door open, reviling Joanne and Candace in bed together.
"No, No, Joanne, please tell me I'm not seeing this."
"Uh, Maureen….fuck!"
Joanne and Candace rushed to put their clothes on.
"Both of you…get out."
"Mo, just let me talk to you." Joanne begged.
"I don't want to hear shit from you!"
"Please?"
By now, Candace was out the door, leaving Joanne to clean up her mess. Joanne wasn't moving fast enough for Maureen, so, Maureen went over to the closet and began throwing all of Joanne's clothes everywhere.
"Mo, this is childish!" The Lawyer screamed, as she picked up her clothes.
Maureen stopped was she was during and looked Joanne dead in the eyes.
"Fuck you, you cheating whore!"
She continued to throw Joanne's stuff around. By the time the diva was done, the room looked like a tornado had hit it. Joanne sat silently on the bed, wearing a pair of gray sweat pants and a Harvard sweat shirt.
"Now, I'm giving you 60 seconds to leave this house, before I burn all of your shit and DO NOT come back until Monday."
Joanne wasted no time leaving.
Present
"Wow, you never told me about that!" Collins said in shock. "I've never heard you call someone a Whore."
"Yeah. I'm so pissed! I've made so many sacrifices for her and what does she do? Cheats on me!"
"I cant imagine what you're going through, Mo. It must hurt."
"You and Angel have such perfect lives." Maureen said, sadly.
"Now, hold on. Angel and I have never been perfect. We have our arguments. Remember when Max got suspended his Freshman year?"
"Yeah…you guys fought for a week."
Just then the song Total Eclipse of The Heart by Bonnie Tyler began to play.
Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit lonely and you're never coming round
Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears
"This was our song.." Maureen said, sadly.
Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by
Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit terrified and then I see the look in your eyes
Turnaround bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart
Turnaround bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart
Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit restless and I dream of something wild
Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit helpless and I'm lying like a child in your arms
Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit angry and I know I've got to get out and cry
Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit terrified but then I see the look in your eyes
Turnaround bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart
Turnaround bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart
"Sing it with me, Mo." Collins said pulling his lighter out.
The began to sing.
And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you'll only hold me tight
Well be holding on forever
And well only be making it right
Cause well never be wrong together
We can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
Were living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
(On The streets)
Joanne drove around looking for Elise. By now she had Roger, Angel, and the Boho teens help. They had been searching for an hour. They checked the loft, Maureen's apartment, Joanne's house, back at the Life Café, the School, and Elise's other favorite spot, Blockbuster .
"Maureen is going to kill me." Joanne said.
"Maybe it's a good thing Elsie ran away." Scott said, sitting next to her in the passengers seat.
"Scott, you wouldn't last two days without Elsie."
"Whatever, Mama…" Scott said, crossing his arms. "I'm going to turn on the radio."
Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart
"That was our song…" Joanne said, looking at the radio.
"You and Mom's?"
"Yeah."
The song continued to play and the car got silent, as Joanne looked for her daughter. It started to rain.
"This is just great." Scott said, breaking the silence.
"Try, calling your sister again, I'm going to stop at this Quick Stop and see if they've seen her."
The lawyer parked the car and quickly got out. Once she was inside, Scott pulled out his cell phone and called Elsie.
"Hello."
"Elsie, your little plan isn't working. Mama refuses to call Mom."
"She will soon have to give up on me and tell Mom."
"She's not going to give up on you, dumbfuck!"
"Ok, fine. I'll call mom and tell her to pick me up." Elsie said, sounding annoyed.
"Where are you?"
"None of your business."
"Stop being a smartass!"
"But you just called me a dumbfuck."
Without saying a word, Scott hung up the phone.
