[Scene cuts to Jessie in her new car on the way to New York]

JESSIE: [Singing along to the radio] Because she's thinking out loud, just too loud, she's thinking out loud, just too loud, just too loud, just too loud 'cause she's thinkin' out loud [she gets a call; stops singing; turns the car radio down] Hello?

HENRY: Hi Jessie.

JESSIE: Henry?

HENRY: What?

JESSIE: Nothing. You haven't called in two days.

HENRY: Are you in New York?

JESSIE: No, not right now. I still have about ten hours left for the drive.

HENRY: Oh. [pauses] Okay. I'm going to work.

JESSIE: Alright. [an awkward moment of silence]

HENRY: I might move to New York.

JESSIE: You have to be kidding me.

HENRY: No, not at all!

JESSIE: So [pauses] what are you trying to say?

HENRY: [An awkward moment of silence] I kind of like you.

JESSIE: [She seems happy] Okay. But you've always wanted to be a firefighter?

HENRY: But you're better than that.

JESSIE: That's wonderful.

HENRY: And I talked to my parents about it, and it seems like you would be the perfect opportunity.

JESSIE: I agree with your parents.

HENRY: What do you mean?

JESSIE: [Slowly and exaggerated] Nothing.

HENRY: I told my parents what you said about being a dream superstar and singer.

JESSIE: So what's wrong with that?

HENRY: That said that was wasteful.

JESSIE: You at least could of not said that to my face.

HENRY: Well my parents said it. [Pauses] They called you Fan Fiction.

JESSIE: That- That- well, I wouldn't be a real dream come true?

HENRY: Yeah.

JESSIE: Do you have more tea to spill?

HENRY: Not right now.

JESSIE: Okay.

HENRY: Hold on one second.

JESSIE: I know where this is going, don't I? [A long pause]

HENRY: Okay I'm back.

JESSIE: I've noticed.

HENRY: My coworker Kenzie said to not spill the tea.

JESSIE: That they're brewing?

HENRY: Yes.

JESSIE: At least I went to college.

HENRY: Hold on one second.

JESSIE: Are you asking for dating advice?

HENRY: Nobody said that. [Another long pause] Okay I'm back.

JESSIE: I never noticed.

HENRY: At least you did. [Jessie's dashboard starts lighting up with the text 'Dad' for call]

JESSIE: Hold on one second.

HENRY: Why?

JESSIE: Because I said so! [She answers the call; Henry is put on hold] Hi Dad.

MICHAEL: Hey. Me and Luke wanted to know how far you were through the ride.

JESSIE: I still have another ten hours left. But Dad, I'm on a call with a cute boy.

MICHAEL: Let me guess. [Pauses] Is it Henry?

JESSIE: You can read my mind. Speaking of Luke, what is Luke doing?

MICHAEL: Not wanting to be here right now in this conversation.

JESSIE: I don't blame him. [Jessie and Michael both laugh] Well I'll talk to you later Dad.

MICHAEL: You too honey. Bye. Love you. [Sighs] That was kind of hard to say.

JESSIE: We all have to get used to it. Bye. Love you. [Hangs up; Henry is put back on the call] I guess it is really hard to have a life without a parent. I never noticed Dad's pain at all.

HENRY: Me neither. [Jessie gets spooked]

JESSIE: What the hell? [In shock] You were listening the entire time?

HENRY: Yeah. [Hear sirens in the background]

JESSIE: What happened? [A pause]

HENRY: Kenzie just told me some guy set the Kernel Corn Factory on fire.

JESSIE: Oh hell no. [Pause] Well bye.

HENRY: I really have to leave.

JESSIE: Then hang up!

HENRY: I found the button! [Henry hangs up]

JESSIE: [Turns on the car radio again] At least I don't live in Alabama anymore. [Gets a call from Uncle Tom] Did he get out of jail? [She answers it]

UNCLE TOM: You're my next victim.

JESSIE: Tom what do you mean? [He hangs up] That's why Mom was always scared. [She starts crying; the scene completed]
