I Killed My BFF Page #2

---

you letting me

hang out with her.

I've been loving it.

It's okay.

- Well, it's time to go.

- Think I'm getting to

be a pretty kick ass dad.

Well, keep doing what I say,

and we can keep doing this.

- Yo, Heath, since

I've kinda proved

that I'm not a

screw up with this.

You think I could

take her this weekend

for a little sleepover?

- No, I mean,

I don't know.

- No, I get it.

I get it.

It's just that my folks are

in town, and so are Melanie's.

And, they really want to

see their granddaughter.

Hi cutie.

- Just let me think

about it, okay?

- [Chase] Hi cutie.

Hi.

- On my god, I love Arthur Park.

- Your folks have

a place out there?

- Oh no, actually I worked

at Zelda's one summer.

It was after my

freshman year at SJU,

I needed some money.

- My son Billy went there to.

When did you graduate?

- Oh, I didn't actually.

Life kinda got in

the way I guess.

- Oh, I sure hope

you make it back.

- Yeah.

(keys rattle)

- [Man You've the upstairs

room and the downstairs room

we need to get both places.

I can't, we can't do this--

- Simon?

- Hey Madeleine, let

me call you right back.

Shane.

My god, Shane.

(laughs)

- Hi

- Oh, my dear, I haven't

seen you since...

- Yeah, it must have

been my dad's last tour.

A couple years before he passed.

- Of course, of course,

you were just getting ready

to go to college.

I mean, writin' your own music.

I remember you had

so many great ideas.

- Yeah.

- You were gonna be a big star.

(laughs)

- Yeah.

- So, what's the

big star doing now?

- Oh, I just locked up my store.

- Your own store, oh.

- It's not actually mine.

- A powerful business woman,

I like it.

- It's not mine.

- So, no more music?

Your dad would be sad.

- I guess yeah.

But no, no more music.

Not in a while, at least.

I think about it a lot though.

I think about him a lot.

Yeah, your dad was

the real thing.

Say, me and Agatha, we're

openin' up a little music club

down on Division.

We're calling it Godot.

I think it would be real cool

it you were a part of it.

- Wait, what?

Why would you need me?

- Your taste.

You've got chic.

I'm telling, you run

your own business.

You make a small investment,

$15,000 or whatever.

And then, after

we open the club,

after about three

or four months,

you make your own money back.

- Wow, running a

music club with you?

I mean--

- Yes.

- that would be like

my dream come true.

- Fine, well we can hash out

the details a little later.

Here's my card.

- Wow, thank you, Simon.

This is amazing.

I will definitely be in touch.

- I'll be waitin'

to hear from ya.

- Okay, bye.

- [Simon] Have a good night.

- Oh my god, this is amazing.

- Hey.

- Hey, I thought you

were supposed to be

hanging with Heather?

- You will never believe

what just happened.

- What?

- I am tripping

out right now.

- Well okay,

tell me.

- Yo, Alex, display case

is out of pint glasses.

You mind grabbing some?

Hey Shane.

Holy moly, great dress.

- Thank you.

We are about to be partners

in a freaking music club.

I ran into this guy who managed

my dad's band in the 90s.

He's the one who got, "Call

Yourself" on the radio.

He's like launched

their entire career.

He's so successful.

He's been everywhere.

And, he flat out

offered me partnership

in the club he's opening.

I mean could we ask

for a better fit?

- Wow, that sounds great.

So, he just like offered

it to you on the spot?

- [Shane] Yeah, well I mean,

he's known me my

entire life, Alex.

He gets me.

And, all we need

to invest is 15k,

which is nothing compared to

what this place'll rake in.

- 15K?

That's not exactly

nothing, honey.

- [Shane] Seriously babe?

I mean for business people

that practically is nothing.

In order to secure

the rest of our lives

I'm pretty sure we can

come up with 15,000.

And, you're gettin' a

raise next week, so.

- Look, I'm into it.

I'm into it, I just gotta

get back downstairs.

We'll talk about it tonight.

- Alright, I'm not gonna

leave you alone about this.

- [Shane] Yes!

Come with me.

Hi, just two more of these.

Oh, and two beers.

(laughs)

[SINGING]

It's only laughter

And this guy, he

worked with my dad

for so many years.

And, when he passed, and

all the pain I went through,

and like, just everything.

It all means

something, you know?

Does that make any sense?

- No, honestly Shane,

it trips me out how

similar we are sometimes.

I was just talking

to my therapist

about just how happy

I've been recently.

- You've been so good, Heath.

You've been so good.

- But, you didn't know

me in high school.

I mean, for once I finally

don't just feel like

the crazy girl.

I mean, when I was

diagnosed as bipolar

in some ways it was

good to know but,

I don't know, I kinda

think it made everyone

a little scared of me.

But, you and Alex are

so amazing, so amazing!

And, I don't know,

I just feel like

the three of us are

just meant to be.

- Oh my god, we are, right?

We are, (laughs)

until the day we die.

- Until the day we die.

- It's okay, okay hold her up.

(laughs)

- I can walk on my own.

- Can you?

Are you sure?

- Entrepreneurs only.

(laughs)

- Are you sure you

don't need help?

- [Shane] I'm fine,

just give me a second.

- Come on, I'll take you home.

- Okay.

Woo, it's hot.

- Whoa, what is that?

What?

- Huh?

- Turn around, let me see this.

(giggles)

Oh my god, that is crazy.

Look, check it out, look.

- You have one, too?

- Right?

How come I've never

noticed yours?

- You weren't looking?

- Black Sheep, blessing

and curse, right?

- Mostly curse, as

far as I can tell.

- Yeah.

Well, Shane is really happy

that you came into out lives and

I am too.

- Yeah, well good night.

(door squeaks)

- [Melanie] I mean,

I guess I can't say

I'm a fashion designer

because, technically,

I've never really

designed anything.

But, I feel like I have

like a really good eye

for that kind of stuff.

Anyway, it was so good to

see you, it really was.

- You too.

- Thanks again for letting

us take her, Heath.

- Don't forget her Dora doll,

and to tuck her in with it.

- I'll take good

care of her, okay?

- Tuck her in with it

before she falls asleep.

- See you Monday.

- Yeah, right before my

job interview, right?

- Let's not.

- Call me if literally

anything happens.

- We'll see you.

(car starts)

(slow piano music)

- Hey babe.

Tell me something good,

you get that raise baby?

You're kidding, what?

- They said they couldn't

afford it right now.

- What?

Oh please, I've seen how

much money that place

pulls in a night.

That is absurd.

- Four years, I've been

here four freaking years.

- What are we supposed

to do about the Godot?

- I don't know babe.

I'm just as

disappointed as you are.

(sighs)

- What if we call your dad?

We have to do something.

I'm tired of watching

everyone else pass us by.

We are smarter than that.

- Hey Chase, it's me.

I just was calling to check in,
