CRASHDOWN CAFE - KITCHEN\/BACK ROOM - MORNING\r\n\r\n Liz prepares a glass of Alka-Seltzer for Maria who looks\r\n about twelve years old in the conservative clothes\r\n and hairstyle that Liz has made her wear. No make-up either.\r\n\r\n LIZ\r\n Okay, one more time.\r\n\r\n MARIA\r\n I feel like a nauseated nun.\r\n\r\n She drains the glass.\r\n\r\n LIZ\r\n Exactly the image we want to portray.\r\n Here.\r\n\r\n Liz hands her some papers.\r\n\r\n MARIA\r\n What's this?\r\n\r\n LIZ\r\n Your script. I thought you might need\r\n some help with the questions Valenti\r\n might ask you.\r\n\r\n MARIA\r\n How about, \"Is your best friend a couple\r\n sandwiches short of a picnic?\"\r\n\r\n LIZ\r\n Please, just stick to the story we came\r\n up with the night of the Crash Festival,\r\n and I know you'll get through this.\r\n You got tapped by that car, blacked out\r\n and didn't see a thing that happened\r\n after. Now let's pretend I'm Valenti.\r\n\r\n What did you see in the parking lot that\r\n night?<\/span>\r\n\r\n MARIA\r\n (reading)\r\n Nothing, just headlights.\r\n\r\n She burps, hands the glass back to Liz.\r\n\r\n LIZ\r\n Perfect. And how did that handprint get\r\n on you?\r\n\r\n MARIA\r\n (reading)\r\n I don't know, I was unconscious.\r\n\r\n LIZ\r\n Right.\r\n\r\n MARIA\r\n Wrong. This is ludicrous. The sheriff's\r\n smart, Liz. He's going to find out the\r\n truth.\r\n (beat)\r\n And maybe that wouldn't be so bad.\r\n He's Kyle's dad<\/u>. He said he was here\r\n to protect us.\r\n\r\n LIZ\r\n Do you really think we need protection\r\n from Max and Isabel and Michael?\r\n\r\n MARIA\r\n (serious now)\r\n Yes. Maybe. I don't know. . . I just\r\n wish you'd stop trying to control the way\r\n I feel. I'm not you, Liz.\r\n (beat)\r\n I have to do what I think is right.\r\n\r\n Off Liz as she suddenly realizes that Maria might tell\r\n Valenti everything.\r\n\r\n MARIA (cont'd)\r\n I have to go.\r\n\r\n Maria stops at the schedule board on her way out and erases\r\n her name.\r\n\r\n LIZ\r\n What are you doing?\r\n\r\n She writes her name in another slot, changing things around.\r\n\r\n MARIA\r\n Patty and I switches shifts in case I end up\r\n in prison for the rest of my life.\r\n\r\n Liz grabs the pen and eraser from her, a little more upset\r\n than she ought to be.\r\n\r\n LIZ\r\n The schedule is here to keep things under\r\n control. If people just go around\r\n changing the schedule whenever they feel\r\n like it, then we've lost<\/u> control.\r\n (she starts erasing)\r\n I mean, we might as well all go through\r\n life blindly, never knowing what's going\r\n to come next, just waiting to have the\r\n rug pulled out from under us any second.\r\n One minute, everything's fine and the\r\n next minute, I've put everyone I care\r\n about in danger and I can't do anything\r\n to help them and their whole lives could\r\n just disappear, just like that, because\r\n I couldn't keep everything under control!\r\n\r\n She looks at the empty board, realizing what she's just done.\r\n Maria is suddenly calm after watching her friend lose it.\r\n\r\n MARIA\r\n You're just as scared as I am, aren't\r\n you?\r\n\r\n Liz finally realizes it herself.\r\n\r\n LIZ\r\n You're my best friend, Maria. And look\r\n what I've done to you.\r\n (beat)\r\n You're right. I can't control what you do.\r\n But if I thought for one second that Isabel\r\n or Michael or even Max could hurt you, I\r\n would march into Valenti's office myself\r\n and turn them in.\r\n (beat)\r\n They're not monsters, Maria. They're kids.\r\n And they're just as scared as we are.\r\n\r\n Off Maria, the decision before her.<\/span><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
