I Killed My BFF Page #3

---

wanted to see how, you

know, things were going.

I guess, just give me a

call when you get this.

Otherwise, I'll

just see you soon.

Okay, bye.

Love to Molly.

- Hey.

- Hey baby.

- [Melanie] Honestly,

she was such an angel.

My mom nearly had

a heart attack.

Not really, I

shouldn't say that.

- We seriously had a great

time though, Heather.

Honestly, we'd love to make this

a more regular thing, you know?

- Babe, I'm gonna go

wait in the car, okay?

- Sure.

- Bye.

- So, I actually got off

the phone with my buddy Leo,

who's a lawyer.

Just to talk about

what's the most fair

with all this custody stuff.

- Wait, wait what?

A lawyer?

- Yeah, just to get some info.

- Chase, what are you

even talking about?

- Well, I thought it

might be nice to get Molly

off your hands sometimes.

It's okay, you know for

your health, I mean.

What if we came over

this Thursday night

to discuss all this?

Give you a little

more time to process.

- Yeah.

Definitely talk about it.

- [Chase] Take it easy,

I'll see you Thursday.

(baby cries)

- [Shane] Hi there.

- [Loan officer] Hi.

- [Shane] I'm Shane Reilly.

I'm looking to take out a loan.

- [Loan officer] Well, you

came to the right place, Shane.

What can I do for you?

- Well, I'm actually

going to be a partner

in a new music venue called

Godot, over on Division street.

And, I'll need $15,000.

- Well, we would need to start

with this year's tax returns.

- Oh, okay, I have that.

- Great.

- Here you go.

(Baby cries)

(knock at door)

- What are you, what

are you cryin' for?

- Thanks again, so

much, for watching her.

- Oh, come here.

- I'm sorry, she's

been kinda fussy today.

- Of course, it's okay baby.

We'll just dance.

We'll just dance, huh?

Look at your moves.

Take a little dancin' lesson?

- You're so good with her.

You really have

the magic touch.

- Yeah, I guess I got

a way with the ladies.

- Well, I should go.

Thank you.

- Alright, no problem, see ya.

- No, I admit he's gorgeous,

and he's so cute with Molly.

But, I know, he would never,

never, go for a girl like me.

And, I wouldn't

even want him too.

I love Shane, and

she is stunning,

and they're perfect together.

And, I almost feel

like we're just this

one big, happy family

together, you know?

- Listen Heather, you're

very excitable right now.

I have to say, I'm concerned.

And remember, the nature

of bipolar disorder

are peaks and valleys.

I'd hate to see you fall

into another depression.

Do you ever have

fantasies

of Shane being out

of the picture?

- No, never.

Shane is my best friend.

Nothing could get

in the way of that.

- Let's try tweaking

that medication again.

(murmuring)

(doorbell chimes)

- You expecting somebody?

- Coming.

Chase,

what are you?

What are you doing here?

We said we were gonna

come over Thursday night.

Remember, to discuss

all the custody stuff?

Do you mind if we come in?

- Sure.

Yeah, yeah, sure.

- So, here's the deal.

Melanie got a really good job

at a dentist office

in Gurnsville.

So, we're moving out there.

Which means, if we can't

solve this between us,

we're gonna have to

have the court decide

what's most fair, you

know, custody-wise.

- Court?

What?

Absolutely not Chase.

Are you insane?

You didn't even want

this beautiful baby girl.

I gave birth alone.

I have been raising her alone.

And now, you just want

to come and swoop her up

whenever the hell

you feel like it?

Because, oh what, you're

starting to have fun?

It is not all fun and

games, let me tell you that.

You have absolutely no

idea what goes into this.

No idea!

- Heather.

- Okay, guys, can we find a

better time to talk about this?

Heather's had a big week.

- No, I haven't mom.

He's trying to take Molly.

I want to talk about this now.

(baby cries)

- This is exactly the problem.

I don't think it's healthy

for her to be around you

when you're like this.

- Get out.

Get out of here Chase.

Just get the hell out.

She is my baby.

My baby.

- Okay, okay, can

you just calm down?

Listen to me.

Okay, I'm going to

walk over there,

I'm going to take

Molly right now,

because I don't think you're

in a healthy head space.

- Over my dead body.

- Chase, please you

are upsetting her.

- Now, get the hell out of here.

I'm not gonna ask you again.

- Just calm down, okay.

We're gonna take

Molly off your hands

until you're feeling

a little better--

- Don't you dare touch me.

(baby screaming)

Do not push me, Chase.

I told you to get out,

so get out.

- Or else what, Heather?

Or else, what?

- Oh, what, you

don't believe me?

You don't believe me?

You wanna push me, Chase?

Go ahead, push me.

- Or else what?

- I want everybody to calm down.

(baby screaming)

- I warned you not to push me.

Now get the hell outta here.

I hate you.

- I'm sorry, Heather.

- I hate you.

- Just calm down.

- I won't calm down.

You calm down.

- Put the knife down,

please Heather, okay?

Don't...

- It's okay, it's okay.

(baby screaming)

- It's gonna be okay.

It's okay.

(sobs)

It's okay.

(sobs)

- Breathe, breath,

(hyperventilating)

you're gonna be okay.

It's gonna be okay.

- Okay, you have crossed

a major line, okay?

This is not okay.

Open the door, Mel.

Look at yourself.

You think this is what a

responsible mother looks like?

See you in court.

- Baby,

Oh sweetheart.

It's okay.

- No!

No!

No, no, no, no, no.

(screams)

- It's ok.

(sobbing)

- Heather, Heather.

What a coward.

I would have kicked

him down the stairs

if he wasn't holding Molly.

It's okay, sweetheart.

- He took my baby, and I'm

never gonna see her again.

(sirens)

- [Lawyer] Look, with

your medical condition

and the police report from

the incident last week,

well this doesn't exactly make

this just a walk in the park.

Molly is going to have

to stay with the ex,

until the trial,

that's for sure.

But, at the end of the

day 60% of custody cases

go to the mother.

So, what I need

you to start doing

is thinking of people that

we can put on the stand

to testify what an outstanding

individual that you are.

- Wait, you mean like

a character witness?

I can do that.

What do you need me to say?

Heather is like the most

responsible woman I know.

She watches my kids

like three times a week.

- She watches your children?

Well, that's perfect,

that's perfect.

Listen, I can't

make any promises,

but you stay out of trouble

and I think we can get you

at least partial custody.

We can win this thing.

You just stay positive.

(knock at door)

(knock at door)

(running down steps)

- Hey, I was just popping by

to see how you were feeling.

I know you've had a

rough coupla weeks.

I was gonna run some errands

if you wanted to join.

Get outta the house.

- Yeah.

- Yeah?

- Yeah, actually I

could use a distracion.

Let me just change really quick.

- Of course being a partner

in a club would be sick,

but, you know, it's

kind of a lot of money.
