INT. DAMIEN’S APARTMENT - DAY

ANGELA has just arrived to see DAMIEN.

 

ANGELA

I knew this was going to blow up in your face some day.

 

DAMIEN

Oh God, Angela, the last thing I need is an I told you so right now.

 

ANGELA

Hey, that’s what big sister’s are for.  So how are you doing?  You ran out of the church so quickly I couldn’t catch up with you.

 

DAMIEN

I tried to find Barbara, but she was gone.  I can’t believe that Paul went through with the wedding knowing about my affair with Barbara.  Was he just trying to humiliate her in front of half of Rockland County?

 

ANGELA

Apparently.  You know Paul has a vicious streak a mile wide.  And it worries me that you might be on the receiving end of that now.

 

DAMIEN

I can handle Paul.

 

ANGELA

No, what you need to do is stay completely away from him, Damien.  Do you hear me?

 

DAMIEN

I need to go over there and see Dante.  His cell phone is off and I haven’t talked to him since the wedding.

 

ANGELA

Maybe you should give him some time to cool off. 

 

DAMIEN

He’s my best friend, Angela.  I want him to understand exactly what happened.

 

ANGELA

I’m not sure he’s going to be so forgiving.  He may not have the best relationship with his father, but he does love him, and he’s probably not too pleased with you right now.

 

DAMIEN

I still love her, you know.

 

ANGELA

Oh, Damien.  Why do you always fall for women who either are untouchable or who are just plain wrong for you?  I wish you could meet someone special, like I have with Brian.

 

DAMIEN

Barbara is special.  And now that Paul is out of the picture…

 

ANGELA

Don’t even think about it, Damien.   Barbara needs to be off limits for you.  Trust me.

 

INT. RAMOS ESTATE GUEST HOUSE - DAY

EVE is in the living room talking with ARDEN and BRIAN.

 

BRIAN

Barbara is gone from the main house. 

 

ARDEN

How did she get away so fast?  She couldn’t have taken all her things.

 

BRIAN

I don’t know.

 

ARDEN

Poor Aunt Barbara.  I can’t believe she was humiliated on her wedding day.

 

EVE

Poor Aunt Barbara?  What about poor us?  She’s out on the streets and we’ll probably be next.  Do you really think Paul Ramos is going to let Barbara’s niece continue to stay in the guest house?

 

BRIAN

Mom, stop only thinking about yourself.

 

EVE

Easy for you to say.  You’re not about to be tossed out of your home on your keister.

 

ARDEN

This isn’t our home, Mom.  We’re guests of Dante.  It’s time we find a place of our own anyway.  I mean, “separate” places of our own.

 

EVE

What are you trying to say, Arden?  You don’t like living with your mother?

 

ARDEN

Mom, let’s not do this right now.  I need to go find Aunt Barbara and make sure she’s alright.

 

EVE

You know, sometimes I wonder if you’re really my daughter.  I mean, maybe the babies got mixed up at the hospital and my real daughter, with a heart of steel is out there somewhere wondering why her mother is all sunshine and light.

 

ARDEN

I’m so sorry to disappoint you, mother.  But I’m happy with the way I am.

 

BRIAN

Let’s get out of here, Arden.  I’m not sure where we’ll look, but I’ll help you find Barbara.
