EXT. JESS'S HOUSE

Jess runs out, gets into her car and speeds off. Tim, working on the other car, watches her go and shakes his head.

CUT TO Jess as she flies down the streets

JESS
Oh, what a surprise! Look what the backstabbing,

traiterous cats dragged in.
Oh, look who it is! All my old ex-friends. And the

biological fruit of my womb… that rotted.

CUT TO Sangy, driving in the Pelmobile. She looks at the road ahead and sees Jess

SANGY

… oh crap.

She speeds up to catch up with Jess and honks, repeatedly. Jess looks in the mirror

JESS

… oh, shit!

Sangy switches lanes and drives alongside her, waving with a cheerful smile plastered on her face

SANGY
Hi, honey!

JESS
(forces a smile)
Hii!

SANGY
(gestures)
Pull over!

JESS
I can't hear you!

SANGY
(louder)
Pull over!

Jess gives her the finger and speeds off. Sangy's eyes narrow. She speeds up too and catches up with her again

SANGY
Pull over Jess.

JESS
No!

SANGY
Pull OVER, Jess.

The engine roars, muffling Jess's response, but we can read her lips, quite clearly: "Fuck off!" Sangy slams on the gas and leaves Jess far behind, waving.

JESS
Go ahead. Warn 'em. Give 'em time to scatter like rats.

Jess rounds the corner onto a bridge to see Sangy parked across it, leaning against the side with her arms crossed. Jess's eyes widen to the size of dinner plates. She slams on the brakes

JESS
Oh my God!

The car skids to a halt about two inches away from Sangy's. Sangy crouches down and sizes up the distance, then stands up and points at Jess

SANGY
You are SO LUCKY. If you put one scratch on my

baby I would have your ass.

(pushes her sunglasses up)

Jess gets out of the car and slams the door

JESS

Sangy, I demand that you move this piece of shit

out of my way this very instant!

SANGY
(takes her sunglasses off)
Who do you think you're talking to?

JESS
I know he's there. Now what is going on? Huh? Is

betrayal absolutely everywhere?

SANGY
Yes. Your lifelong friends are programming your son

to destroy you.

JESS

Somebody better tell me what's going on.

SANGY

Jess, calm down. You're just gonna have to trust us. If

you go there now, you're gonna ruin everybody's life.

JESS

What is it with me ruining everybody's life?!
Everybody, Sangy? Strangers are saying it now!

SANGY
What strangers?

JESS

Georgia! She YELLED at me! He's walked out on their

entire life, whatever that means.

SANGY
Go. Go home, now.

JESS
Don't you talk to me like that, I'll knock you into the

middle of next week.

SANGY
(steps forward)
And I will kick your sorry ass on Thursday, now get in

the goddamn car and go home.

Jess stares at her for a minute, then gets into the car with many a huff and a withering look. Sangy puts her sunglasses back on and eyes Jess's car

SANGY
Piece of shit.
