Speak Now Page #5

After everything, why?

- You know, TJ, I am so

sick of your past trauma

being a warrant for you to

police everyone's behavior.

I'm sick of it.

- Nella, stop it.

- That's not the point.

This isn't about me.

- Of course this is about you.

Let me ask you, TJ,

what is it that you think is gonna happen?

Do you think that he's gonna

come crawling back to you,

that he's gonna realize what a witch I am,

that you guys are gonna

live happily ever after

and that you're gonna talk about

how he almost married that whore, Nella?

- Nella, this is cruel.

Stop it!

- There you are, little savior, Sarah.

- Don't look at me and tell me

that high school's over, okay?

So what if I'm cheating on him?

He's my fiance, and it's our relationship.

It's none of your business.

- We'll call David.

If you walk out that door,

we are calling David.

- Well, that sounds like a mistake.

- Why?

- You wanna find out, Jen?

Go ahead.

You clearly have no idea who I am

and what I'm capable of!

Now where's my purse?

- Jenny.

- Thank you.

You stupid b*tch.

- Oh, look.

Brandon's here.

Is he your ride?

- Hey, ladies.

Looks like somebody's

been havin' some fun.

Wish I coulda joined ya.

- He smells like weed.

- It looks like it's time

for me to get some shut-eye.

Big day tomorrow, so see you guys!

- What was that for?

- To make you the hero, I guess.

- Night, ladies.

- Night, ladies.

I la-la all of you.

- I la-la you, too!

- Well, what're we gonna do?

- I know you're all gonna make fun of me,

but in times like these,

we can always turn to the power of prayer.

- And then we called you.

- So that's it.

- Well, I did have a conversation

with a drunken TJ about you.

- What?

Really?

- That was interesting.

- Wait, what did she say?

- None of you damn business.

- Seriously?

- Well, it's not.

- Well, you just made it my business.

- What are we gonna tell him?

- We...

We...

Oh, we can't let him come here.

We have to stop him.

Damn it!

- This is all my fault.

I shouldn't have let her go,

and now David is gonna

get really hurt by this...

- Stop saying this is your fault, Jenny!

Nella planned it this way.

I'm sorry.

I know how you feel, okay?

- Maybe Carly's right.

Maybe we are all like

Nella in some sick way.

I mean, seriously, though,

I did like seeing her make

Carly uncomfortable tonight,

the same way that I pushed Nella

to confess that she cheated.

- That doesn't make us like her.

That makes us human.

- Well, I hate it.

Teej,

for what it's worth,

I think you would've

made a really good Mom.

- Thanks, Jenny.

We gotta tell him.

- Yeah.

- What're you doin'?

- None of your business.

- I'm gonna go make a phone call.

- Oh, sh*t.

- Surprise!

Party's here.

Oh, I'm, am I interrupting girl time?

They told me I was okay to come over.

I'm sorry.

Guys, what is goin' on here?

Is everything okay?

Where's Nella?

- Ah, sh*t!

- Drew, be careful!

- We're in.

- Well, she's not sleeping.

- Hey, sorry I missed your call.

Not really.

Leave a message, and maybe I'll...

- Still not answering.

- Have you tried texting her?

- You try.

- Pick up your damn-ass phone!

- I like the sort of shrine

she built for herself.

- Yeah, there's not

even a picture of David.

- It's sad, really.

- I'm getting my beauty sleep.

That's funny, because I'm

standing in your room.

Get your ass over here!

Why is she like this?

- She's always been like this.

- What's the matter with me?

- Do you wanna talk about it?

Ugh!

Brandon Scott?

- David.

- Are you kidding me?

Isn't he a drug dealer or something?

- I think this is just like in the Bible

when they talk about

being unequally yoked.

Maybe this...

- Stop talking!

- Well, I mean someone

has to speak the truth.

I hate to be the one to say it.

- Well, then don't say it.

- Well, David, I'm worried about you.

Are you gonna be okay?

- No.

- You can talk to me.

- No, Carly, no, I'm not going to be okay.

I just found out that my

wife-to-be is cheating on me.

- Okay, well, would you

feel better talking about it

if TJ wasn't here?

- What is wrong with you?

- Tammy Jane.

- Stay away from me.

- Tammy Jane.

- Stay away from me!

- Hey, hey, hey, Tammy, please?

- Freak!

- Hey, hey, hey, can

you please not hit me?

Can we just talk?

- Why'd you leave me?

- Oh, come on, Tammy.

You know why.

- Oh, 'cause you're so stupid!

- Please, I'm sorry.

You know I didn't mean it like that.

- You were afraid, admit it,

so you chose the easy way out.

- Yes, yes, of course I was scared.

I was being plunged into

a life I hadn't decided

I even wanted yet.

- I didn't get to decide.

It was chosen for me,

and you just got to run.

- Yes, it was exactly like that.

You know,

everything I tried to

give you, everything,

you shot back in my face.

You don't think I was

hurt by you, too, Tammy?

I loved you.

- I didn't mean to.

- I know.

I know, Tammy.

We never meant to, but that's what we did.

We didn't fall apart

because of what happened.

We fell apart, because we couldn't be

what each other needed.

- And Nella?

Is that what you need?

How's that workin' out for you, David?

- People make mistakes.

- Hmm, still takin'

the easy way out, I see.

- You know?

That's not fair.

- What's not fair is being

abandoned and pregnant.

- It wasn't like that.

- Spoken like a true cheater.

- I never cheated on you, Tammy.

- Well, you might as well have.

Ha!

What makes her so special?

Please tell me.

How long was it before she

had a ring on her finger?

Six

months.

Six months.

What could she give you in six months

that I couldn't give you in seven years?

- Look, I don't have an answer

that's gonna make you happy, Tammy Jane.

I didn't make the right choices with you,

and I am sorry.

And I don't know what it was with Nella

that made anything different.

I don't know.

It just did.

I don't wish anything

but happiness for you,

but I can't be that for you,

and I think you know that.

- I don't wish anything but

happiness for you either, David,

but not by taking the easy way out.

That happiness, it doesn't last.

- You don't know that.

- So what now?

Are you gonna marry her tomorrow?

- It's Drew.

- Don't answer it.

Don't.

- Yo.

Yeah, yeah, I'm at the hotel.

No.

No, they told me.

Yeah, fine, I'm, I'm comin'.

- Stop it.

I'm getting married tomorrow.

Okay?

Okay, I'm going, but

you're coming with me.

- Oh, f***.

Those f***ers, they're here.

- Be nice.

- Sarah

wasn't always a good person.

It took her a long time to get there.

Something did change for

her that night, though.

The last bit of fear Nella had

been hanging over her head,

Sarah wrapped it up and got

rid of it for the last time.

I think we all knew this was the end

of our friendship with Nella for good.

- Oh, hello my fair lesbian friend.

- Shut the f*** up.

Hey!

You!

Oatmeal cookie boy.

- Okay, kitten.

- No!

I hope you're really happy one day.
