Bobbie: [entering bedroom] Hello?

Dorothy: Hi.

B: Why are you in my room?

D: I didn’t wanna be downstairs… or in my room, I dunno. Sorry.

B: [soft smile] Okay.

D: You think you could drop me off somewhere tomorrow?

B: Where? You wanna hang out?

D: I guess. Sure. If you don’t have work.

B: I don’t have work… Are you okay?

D: Sure. Why?

B: You just seem kinda… off.

D: [rolls eyes] More off than usual? Don’t worry, I’m not a vegetable or shooting up or anything, anymore.

B: [hesitant smile] Right… Good.

D: What?

C: Dorothy… Wizard of Oz? Forget about it.

D: If it’s just you here, can I get a pack of Newports? I’m paying cash.

C: [inhale] Yup… That all?

D: If you don’t include the shit I pocketed?

C: [chuckle, eye roll]

D: Hey, [pause] What’d they do with Finn? What was left of them, anyway?

Brian: Nursing’s usually a woman’s job. You sure?

Arya: It’s less school, better pay upfront. Which means a make more money sooner. And, I’d rather be a nurse. [shrug]

B: [jaded sigh] Right.

Sheela: I think that’s fair. More men are getting into nursing, these days. More women are doctors.

A: [distant smile]

Bobbie: You sure you don’t want anything?

Dorothy: Yup.

D: I know what you’ve been waiting to ask about.

D: Finn’s dead, and you knew that. I was going to kill myself, regardless.

B: [furrowed brow] Dee…

D: I was. Past tense. I’m fine.

B: [subtle nod] Are you okay with me moving out? I know it’s probably a lot.

D: A lot of what? I get it, you’re not sixteen anymore. And I still am.

B: You could move in with us!

D: You want me to be an errand boy? I can’t pay rent.

B: I don’t care about that. I know you don’t want to be stuck there.

D: [sigh] Maybe.

transcript:

Noya: [excited] Mom didn’t mention you were coming over!

Inola: … I guess I forgot to ask. When’s she coming back from work?

N: She said it would be like 9ish.

N: You need anything to drink or eat? I know it’s a hell of a drive here.

I: No, no I’m okay. Thank you.

N: Congrats on the baby, by the way! And getting married.

I: [tired sigh] Thank you… You’ll get to meet them soon, I promise.

N: It’s all good. I get it, I’ve been busy too since graduating. Probably not nearly as busy as you! Mom said you’ve got step-kids too.

I: [nod] I’m sorry, I’m not at my best right now.

N: Shit, neither am I. We’ve got time to catch up, no apologies needed.

Inola: [tense chuckle] How long did you have to wear diapers and pads post-partum?

Ama: Uh… a while. [chuckle] You get used to it, though? You never get your bladder back.

I: [sigh] Christ… I love him, and the girls, desperately. And I still do not know what I’m doing. Bobbie’s easy, sometimes too much so. Dorothy is… well, I don’t know. I don’t know if the twins need me to be their mom, though. [sigh] Maybe I’m just having baby blues. and teenager blues? [nervous laugh] I don’t want to go on another rant.

A: You think you wanna stay here tonight?

I: [sigh] I can’t, Oscar has work tomorrow morning. And, I don’t want Noya out of the coach.

Eva: Have you guys applied anywhere?

Arya: Everywhere I have a chance…

Bobbie: I don’t think I’ll go to college.

E: [gentle] Oh! I thought you wanted to?

B: I kind of just want to finish senior year and move on from school into whatever deadend job… Besides, I wanna be present for Dee.

[Eva and Arya exchanging sympathetic looks]

E: You think she’ll need you to like… take care of her? Like of course you’d wanna be there but-

B: [shrug] College would just be a waste for me anyway. I don’t need to go or really want to.

A: [pondering glance at Bobbie]

E: [little nod] Fair…

A: Mm… 17 going on 18… Feels weird.

A: [inhale] I’m nervous to ask, and I know you’re not going to college but.

B: [smile, nod] Yeah, we can work on that.

B: I love you too.

[shower running]

Oscar: Moving in with your high school sweetheart, huh?

Bobbie: [cringes]

O: [chuckles] What’s with the face?

B: “High school sweetheart” makes it sound like we’re newlyweds with a baby and not probably just moving in with roommates our age.

O: [chuckles] Well, you’re already eating ramen for breakfast like a college kid.

B: [playful eye roll]

Inola: [knocking on the bathroom door] Dorothy!

[shower turns off]

Dorothy: [annoyed, yelling through door] Yes?!

I: Please, get out of the shower. The water bill’s expensive enough.

D: Sorry!

I: You okay with taking care of Yona today? I’m going to go see Ama.

O: I am more than happy to.

I: [tired sigh, smile] Awesome.

Arya: I hate summer.

A: The heat, the babysitting, the short sleeves. It’s all the fucking worst. I never get a break.

Bobbie: Yea… I’m sorry. [lighthearted] You want to move up into the mountains? Somewhere it’s always cold?

A: [low chuckle] … I think I’m gonna quit working at the rink. I have enough money saved and I’m just… not feeling it I guess.

B: Alright… Gives you a little more free time.

A: Yeah… I guess.

Sarita: Did you like fourth grade?

Arya: [nervous laugh] No. I did not.

S: I thought being nice to people would mean they’d be nice back. But, I guess not.

A: [sympathetic] Not always… Is someone being mean to you?!

S: Not really… [shrug] Just weird… I’m gonna miss you when you move out.

A: Ri, I’m not moving out tomorrow. Got the rest of the school year and the summer! I’ll be a short drive away and, mom’ll let you text and call me, I’m sure.

S: Until I get my own phone when I’m 14! [whine] It feels like it’ll be forever!

Dorothy: I hate the glasses. I think I was better off blurry.

Bobbie: They’re cute! You look-

D: -Don’t you dare say I look smart.

B: [chuckle] You looked smart without the glasses too.

D: [eye roll]

D: You think you could convince dad to get me a phone? A new one.

B: Why can’t you?

D: [shrug] He doesn’t listen to me. I can see better and I’m sure I could at least text.

B: Have you gotten back to handwriting?

D: Not important… Mostly…

B: I’ll see. [kisses Dee’s forehead]
