Scene 12
Interior. Angela's Kitchen Angela sits at kitchen table talking on phone with Topanga
Angela: I guess all this time I thought Shawn was avoiding me.
Topanga: Like you weren't avoiding him for goodness sakes you didn't even tell him Marie was his daughter.
Angela: I know I messed up. I have to go tell Marie.
(Angela Hangs up the phone.)
Angela: Marie! Can you come down here for a minute?
Marie: Yeah mom. I'll be down in a second.
(Marie walks in the kitchen)
Marie: What's up?
Angela: I have been ling to your whole life.
Marie: What are you talking about?
Angela: I know you're going to get upset, but just hear me out. Shawn, that man that was just here is your biological father.
Marie: what about dad? Did you cheat on him or something? Does he know?
Angela: I was already pregnant with you when we first started dating. He knows about Shawn but he's never met him.
Marie: So Shawn just abandoned you while you were pregnant with me?
Angela: Not exactly.
Marie: Then why didn't I ever know about him.
Angela: Because I never told him about you. I fell in love with your father while I was pregnant with you, and when we got married I didn't want you to think of him as anything less than your father.
Marie: How could you keep something like that from me?
(Shawn walks back in through the kitchen door)
