Featured Scene – No Returns
SHANICE: I left my wife. Can’t say it was for you Justine, but I left her to keep that door open between us.
JUSTINE: I never made any promises.
SHANICE: Neither did I and I’m not holding you to anything.
JUSTINE: Yeah.
SHANICE: I’m not bothered by it one way or the other.
JUSTINE: You’re not?
SHANICE: Not at all.
JUSTINE: Why?
SHANICE: Because I’m a grown up. I don’t have time for little girl games. I am not interested in being one of those women who cry and wait for the woman she loves to make her decision.
JUSTINE: Are you angry?
SHANICE: I don’t know what you call it.
JUSTINE: So you do want to be with me?
SHANICE: That ship has sailed, don’t you think?
JUSTINE: What’s left?
SHANICE: Memories.
JUSTINE: Right.
SHANICE: Nothing wrong with that. We did what we did. It lasted for as long as it lasted and turned out the way that it did. That’s life.
JUSTINE: Shouldn’t there be something more?
SHANICE: Justine. It is what it is and it’s fine.
JUSTINE: So, we’re done? There’s nothing more to it?
SHANICE: That’s on you. It would be nice if you could say it because I think that would be good for you.
JUSTINE: Good for me?
SHANICE: I’ve known you long enough to give you the final decision on us because I think you need to. Maybe then, you’ll end things with your wife once and for all.
JUSTINE: …
SHANICE: Say it.
JUSTINE: What?
SHANICE: Say we are over.
JUSTINE: …What good will that do?
