Featured Scene – Jerome
JEROME: You had no right to go to my house.
SKYLAR: I had every right.
JEROME: No, right!
SKYLAR: You knew my mother was dead, you pr’ck, and you didn’t tell me!
JEROME: I didn’t want you to lose hope.
SKYLAR: But that’s my lie, NOT YOURS! I have ownership of that lie. I didn’t license it out to you. I didn’t say you could pretend with me. I needed you to know she was alive, because you helped me feel like she was.
JEROME: I was going to tell you.
SKYLAR: When?
JEROME: I don’t know, but I was going to tell you SOON. But if you already knew the truth, what difference would it make whether I told you or not?
SKYLAR: It would have meant that you really cared about me.
JEROME: I do care about you.
SKYLAR: But you kept it from me.
JEROME: Because I was protecting you.
SKYLAR: You were stringing me along, lying to me, like everyone else had. That’s not protecting me, man.
JEROME: I saw how much meeting your mother meant to you; I didn’t want to be the one to destroy your hope.
SKYLAR: It’s already been destroyed. Who told you?
JEROME: Frederick.
SKYLAR: Traitor.
JEROME: He’s not.
SKYLAR: He’s a piece of sh’t traitor!
JEROME: He was drunk. He probably doesn’t even remember what he told me, Sky.
SKYLAR: Wait till I see him. (Losing his breath.)…I’m gonna f’ckin’ kill him.
JEROME: Don’t be stupid.
SKYLAR: (Breathing heavily.) Bust his face wide open!
JEROME: You’re talking stupid.
SKYLAR: BUST HIS FACE WITH, WITH, WITH…
Skylar starts to shake.
JEROME: Calm down, Skylar. You’re gonna have another episode! Chill!
SKYLAR: Tired of all the lies. Can’t trust NO ONE!
Skylar collapses, but is still conscious.
Jerome rushes to his aid.
SKYLAR: Don’t touch me! I’m fine…I’m fine.
Pause.
You’re all I have in my life, man…and you’re gonna leave me…
JEROME: Sky, why are you talking like this?
SKYLAR: Because I know. I know things about this world, things we can’t see but feel.
JEROME: Look, it’s been a rough few days out here. We need to sleep.
SKYLAR: Don’t try to change the subject, man, just so you can get back to Lenora.
JEROME: I’m not going anywhere.
SKYLAR: You’re falling in love with Lenora, you’re gonna get married, you’re gonna have kids and pretend I’ve never existed. I’ll be out your mind; nothin’, none of the times we had, nothin’ will mean anything anymore.
JEROME: We can all be together, Lenora wants to come back with us.
SKYLAR: No way in hell!
JEROME: She needs to leave this place.
SKYLAR: She can’t come!
JEROME: Yes, she can!
SKYLAR: I don’t trust her!
JEROME: You don’t have a say!
SKYLAR: What does she want from you, man? You trust this woman? Who the hell is she anyway? You’ve known this girl for, like, three days.
JEROME: I knew as soon as I looked at her.
SKYLAR: Knew what?
JEROME: How I feel about her.
SKYLAR: We have to take a vote.
JEROME: When we get back home, we’ll all take a vote.
SKYLAR: I’m voting no.
JEROME: Why are you being like this?
SKYLAR: Because you’re rushing things.
JEROME: I don’t care if I’m rushing things.
SKYLAR: Rushing things, and you’re gonna regret it.
