Speak Now Page #6

---

- All right.

- Okay, I hope that someday

you are a very happy person

so you can fully understand

all the unhappiness

you caused a lot of people.

- Look, I'm not the one

that seduced her, all right?

- What does that matter?

She's getting married.

- Yeah, well, maybe her husband

should keep a closer eye on her.

- That was rude.

- David's coming.

- What?

Wait, you called David?

You called David over a little bit

of the wedding-day jitters?

- You call this jitters?

F***ing the bartender the

night before your wedding?

This is far beyond jitters, Nella,

and I'm not sure I'll

ever understand exactly

what it is with you.

- That's because you don't

know how to let your hair down

and have some fun.

- Stop it with these games.

This isn't fun.

- The old Sarah would have asked me,

does he have a brother?

Oh, please.

It was good to just not jump on board.

You were always the last one to cave,

the last one to join in on the games,

and the last one to lose

your virginity.

- Gross.

- You know what?

You're always the first person to thank me

for pushing you over the edge,

for making you feel alive,

okay, so lighten up,

because I don't like

the stick up your ass.

- I'm not proud of my past, Nella.

I'm not proud of that sh*t.

It haunts me.

We were bad people.

- Oh, wait.

What you're telling me

is that you were having

the best time being sober tonight?

No.

See, what I think,

I think that you were just

afraid that the old Sarah

was gonna come out and

that she's gonna make

really bad decisions.

But you know what?

I miss that old Sarah.

- Stop it.

- No, I'm not gonna stop it.

It wasn't fun making fun

of Carly all by myself.

Let's not forget who started

that joke in the first place.

- Leave her alone.

She has real problems, and it's my fault.

- Oh, really?

So, so it's not my fault that

she has scars on her wrists?

Listen, I don't think

that I'm the bad guy here.

I don't think so.

- Grow up.

I am done.

- Oh, you're done?

What do you mean you're done?

No, you left, okay?

And apparently you cut me

out of your college life,

so no, you don't get to come back here

and act like everyone forgot who you were.

No one believes your little act, Sarah,

so just give it up.

- People grow up, Nella,

and fine, if this is the

way you want it to be,

then I'll be there tomorrow,

but it won't be for you.

- Okay.

- After the wedding, I'm gone,

and I never wanna see you again.

- Sarah, come on, you don't,

you don't mean that.

- Good-bye, Nella.

- What?

- So yeah, I'll just

leave the door unlocked.

Do you have your keys.

Oh, there they are.

Cool.

Drink some water.

- Bye.

Whatever.

- What are you doing?

- Writing down a list of

Bible verses to give to David.

- How about it is better

to dwell in the wilderness

than with a contentious and angry woman.

- How about do not be deceived.

Bad company corrupts good morals.

- Yeah, that one fits Nella, too.

- Nella may not be the Proverbs 31 wife,

but at least my brother has hope for her,

and she goes to church with him.

- Oh, just like you had hope for TJ?

- Do not associate with

a so-called brother

if he is an immoral person or covetous

or an idolater or a reviler or a drunkard,

not even to eat with such a one.

- Do not point out the

speck in your brother's eye

before removing the log in your own.

- Be aware of false

prophets who come to you

dressed in sheep's clothing but inwardly

are ravenous wolves.

- If any man thinks he is

religious and does not bridle

his tongue but deceives in his heart,

this person's religion is worthless.

- Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor,

him I will destroy.

Whoever has a haughty look

and an arrogant heart,

I shall not endure.

Four years of high school youth group,

two years of Awana, one year of YWAM.

- Ha!

Four years of Awana, four years

of high school youth group,

two years of youth group counseling,

plus one year in the Peace Corps.

- You were a youth group

counselor for two years?

- Well, one and a half.

You know what, Carly?

If you weren't so busy

making sure everyone else

is following your book of religious rules,

you might actually like a person or two.

- I do not do that.

- You do.

Why don't we take a look at

that little book of yours...

- No! No, no.

Give that back to me!

- Give it here.

- No, I wanna see.

These aren't Bible verses.

Carly, what is this?

- I keep track of things.

I just, I need to keep track

so that I stay on track.

- Carly, this is crazy.

When I was 13, I was

in love with this boy,

Jimmy Stratton.

He was in my math class.

And he would always chew gum,

so I made sure to always have gum on me

just in case he would ask.

One day he finally asked,

and I was elated.

It finally gave me

permission to talk to him.

And it turns out he liked me too.

So, to make a long story short...

- It's too late.

- To make a long story short,

we dated.

He even held my hand

during math class.

Then a week later,

he found someone else to give him gum,

and I was devastated.

I cried every day for, like, weeks.

I thought maybe it was

because I wasn't pretty

or I wasn't blonde or

because I wasn't smart.

And finally, my mom sat

me down, and she said,

"Jenny, you have two choices

to make in every situation.

"You can laugh, or you can cry.

"And neither one is the wrong choice,

"but the choice you make will define you."

- What if you don't know what to do?

- I think you do know what to do.

You just need to be brave

enough to let yourself be honest

with your feelings, you know?

- Yeah.

I fantasized this love with you

And not a drop of it is true

It pours inside my weary heart

- Whoo! Your turn!

How's that tasting?

- It's good.

We're living a life of quiet desperation

Holding on to reach into the sun

Is there something in this

mess that is worth saving

- Two, three, blow it up!

- Oh!

- Oh!

- Two!

Ooh

Ooh

- Hey there, sexy lady.

How much for your body?

- More than you can afford.

- I only need five minutes.

- Where's Drew?

- With David, doing his groomsmanly duty.

Get in.

I feel like you have some

drama I need to hear about.

While you're talking,

I'm going to buy us the

greasiest breakfast I can find.

- Hmm, nothing has sounded better.

- So I take it David graced

you with his presence?

- Yeah.

You know,

I don't even think I love him anymore.

I just don't want him

to love someone else.

Is that selfish?

- Considering the circumstances, no.

David is no saint in this, you know?

- So is there gonna be a wedding?

- No idea.

But if there is, I plan on developing

a healthy food baby for pictures.

- Proposed to her right there.

I was gonna go over to her place.

I was gonna tell her what

a terrible person she is,

and I was gonna break

up with her.

- So what's stopping you?

- Is it terrible that I

still wanna marry her?

- Well, I don't know if

terrible's the right word.

Weird, confusing, gross, those...
