Bette: just be quiet. So your telling me that I made a big fool out of myself in there

Alice: yes

Bette: in front of Tina?

Alice: yes

Bette: and you watched it and never said anything

Alice: yes

Bette: I want you to go out there and correct this all. You made your bed now ly in it

Alice: no!

Bette: no?

Alice: yes the answer is no…you can’t do it you’ll be breaking the code

Bette: ***** a code and ***** you. You’ll be lucky if I still talk to you after this. That code ***** is nothing but an excuse for feeling sorry for yourself. By sleeping around all the time and constantly waking up with guilt in the morning. I can’t do it Alice I can’t and I won’t. I’ve learned to have fun again Alice. I’ve learned to smile again to feel again and be happy inside and that’s what I feel when I think of her. I like her as a friend and I would love to see where it goes. But how can I do that when your cot-blocking me. Your selfish and jealous and it hurts. I can’t believe that you would stoop so low because you don’t want to see me happy

Shane: Bette!

Bette looks at Shane with a nasty look on her face…Shane jumps back

Bette: stay out of this Shane. I know Alice like the back of my hand. You better go out there and fix this mess. And the longer it takes you to convince her will be the longer that I don’t speak to you my friend. So if I were you I’d get busy

Bette walks past Alice…And then Dana

Dana: I can’t believe you would do something like this

Alice: but Dana-

Dana passes Alice

Shane: I never knew you had it in you…wait…yes I did

Shane leaves the kitchen with a smile on her face…Alice was last to exit the kitchen…They all enter the living room sitting down there they were before…Bette looks around the room for Tina…But she doesn’t see her…

Bette: where’s Tina?

Tammy slightly drunk…

Tammy: oh Tina she left

Bette: left?…where too?

Tammy: I don’t know. She asked me a few questions and then she left

Alice: questions?.. what kind of questions?

Tammy: questions like were me and Bette a couple and she wanted me know if I called you or did you call me. And then she asked were you hesitant when we did it earlier and I told her how you were a good *****

Bette: god…

<burp>

Tammy: excuse me

Dana looked confused…

Dana: wait!…wait!…Bette you fucked Tammy?

Tammy: she sure did

Dana: but I thought you was into Tina?

Bette: I was into Tina until Alice called me and gave me the bad news

Dana: Al you so fucked up

Shane: badly this time

Bette puts her jacket on and gets ready to leave…So does Shane and Dana…Dana helps Tammy up

Alice: wait…where are you guys going?

Bette: look you’ve asked enough questions…now do what you have to do. You guys can come by my house for dinner if you like

Shane: sounds good

Dana: ok…well what about Tammy?

Bette: she can come too

The women walk past Alice straight ignoring her…They head out the door

Alice: come on you guys…stay…please?

Dana slams the front door in her face…The room that was once filled was now empty…No beer to drink..No cards to play..,Not even a joke to tell…She heard the sound of car doors slamming…She ran to the window and looked down onto the well it street…She watched her friends pull off in their cars neither one turning around to wave good bye as they had done may times before…
