ARDEN and
DANTE are having lunch.
DANTE
I can’t
believe your Mom showed up here. And so soon after we left
Neither can I. If she knows where
Brian lives then what’s to stop her from coming by any time she wants.
DANTE
Well, maybe
you shouldn’t stay there then.
Brian’s
apartment is the only place I have to go.
And I have to find a job so I can start to pay you back for all you’ve
done for me. And eventually get my own
apartment.
DANTE
Dante, I
can’t do that. You’ve done way too much
for me already, and it just wouldn’t be right.
DANTE
It’s up to
you, but I wanted to toss it out there as an option. But if I were you, I would consider
Well, you may
be right, and my Aunt Barbara is here in
DANTE
I haven’t
seen Barbara since I got back. I want to
talk to her about my father and what’s going on with her.
Dante,
whatever she’s doing, I’m sure she has the best of intentions.
DANTE
I hope so.
You know, I
was lying on Brian’s couch last night thinking about the past couple of months
and how much you’ve done for me. Why did
you do it, Dante? Why did you spend so
much of your time and money helping me?
DANTE
Damien walks
up and sits down.
DAMIEN
Hey you
guys. Hope I’m not interrupting.
DANTE
Actually…
Hi
Damien. How are you?
DAMIEN
I’m
alright. I’ve been better.
DANTE
Damien here
is having some love trouble, but he refuses to talk about it.
Aww, Damien. If you need a woman’s perspective, you’re
welcome to bend my ear for a while.
DAMIEN
No, it’s
nothing I want to talk about. But
thanks.
BRIAN has
just arrived to see ANGELA.
ANGELA
Let me tell
you, you are a sight for sore eyes.
BRIAN
Had a long
day?
ANGELA
You could say
that.
BRIAN
Anything you
want to talk about?
ANGELA
Well, I
haven’t said anything about this to you so far, but I think it’s time I
did. I have a secret admirer.
BRIAN
A
secret admirer? What does that mean?
ANGELA
Well, I’ve
been getting anonymous notes for a while now and I thought maybe it was
harmless at first, but it’s starting to get a bit creepy.
BRIAN
In
what way?
ANGELA
Whoever this
guy is has been at my house. The last
note was left on my doorstep and a pot was broken on my porch while he was
running away.
BRIAN
Oh my God,
you’re kidding. What else has he done?
ANGELA
Well, I’ve
had notes on my desk at work and flowers.
The creepiest part is this guy knows where I live. That means it has to be someone I know.
BRIAN
Not
necessarily.
ANGELA
What do you
mean? Only my friends and family have my
address. The only other possibility is
someone hacked into my records here at the hospital. But who?
BRIAN
Angela,
that’s not the only way someone could find out where you live. I mean, I knew right away.
ANGELA
You did? What are you talking about?
BRIAN
Well, when we
first met, I was online and I typed in your name and Nyack on Google, and your
entire address and phone number came up.
ANGELA
You’re
kidding. You’ve known my address this
entire time?
BRIAN
Well,
yes. And I’m still waiting for an
invitation to see your place.
ANGELA
Brian, I
immediately ruled you out because you didn’t know where I lived when I first
got the flowers at my house. But you did
know.
BRIAN
What are you
saying, Angela? You think I’m sending
you anonymous love letters? Why would I
do that?
ANGELA
I didn’t say
that. I’m just freaked out about all
this right now.
BRIAN
You know what, I think I should be going.
ANGELA
But I thought
we were going to have a late lunch today.
BRIAN
I’m
sorry. But I’m not really in the mood
for lunch anymore. Goodbye, Angela.
Brian walks
out.
ANGELA
Ugh. Now what.
BARBARA has
just arrived to see an excited DAMIEN.
DAMIEN
Babe, it’s so
good to see you. I knew you would change
your mind about us.
BARBARA
I haven’t
changed my mind, Damien.
DAMIEN
(Disappointed)
Oh.
BARBARA
I’m here to
find out if you know someone named Felicia.
She stopped by the house looking for me and I wasn’t home. If you would answer your phone maybe I
wouldn’t have had to come all the way over here.
DAMIEN
Felicia went
to Paul’s house? Why?
BARBARA
I wasn’t
there, but she told our housekeeper that she would be in touch with me and that
she was an old friend of yours. What’s
this all about, Damien?
DAMIEN
Oh God,
Barbara, I’m so sorry. I don’t know bow
she figured out it was you.
BARBARA
Could you
fill me in here? Who is this woman?
DAMIEN
Felicia is my
ex. And she’s a whole lot of trouble.
BARBARA
Ugh. And just why did she show up on my door step?
DAMIEN
I don’t know,
Barbara, but trust me, that woman was not there to be anything but difficult.
BARBARA
What are you
saying, Damien?
DAMIEN
I’m saying
you better stay away from her. Avoid her
at all costs.
