| AJ: (Looks at the girls) That was cute. Why did you show us that? Taylor: That’s our good friend Mike. Reagan: He died three days ago. Nick: I’m so sorry girls. AJ: Is that why you came here? Reagan: (nods head) Yeah. (Starts to cry) (Nick gets up, sits down next to her on the floor, and hugs her) AJ: How did he die? Taylor: (tears in her eyes) He had cancer. He never told us anything about it…but that’s the way Mike always was. AJ: I take it you three were close. Taylor: Yeah. (Starts to cry) AJ: (gets up and sits next to her) It’s ok. (He hugs her) (Brian and Kevin come in from the connecting room and see the four of them on the floor) Brian: Well isn’t this a love fest. Kevin: Why weren’t we invited? Taylor: (through tears) Because you smell. Brian: What’s going on? Reagan: (wiping tears off her face) Our friend died three days ago from cancer. We came out here for the funeral. Kevin: I’m sorry guys. Taylor: Thanks. Brian: Is there anything we can do for you? Taylor: No. We’ll be fine. Thanks though. Kevin: No problem. You know where to find us if you need anything. Reagan: Thanks Kevin. (Kevin and Brian go back into the other room) Nick: Why didn’t you say something sooner Ray…I would’ve come with you. Reagan: I didn’t want to bother you. Besides you had the tour and everything. Nick: You know I would have dropped everything I was doing to be with you. Reagan: I know. Taylor: (gets up, wiping tears off her face) I need some air. (She walks out onto the balcony) AJ: Should I go out with her? Reagan: No…she needs time by herself. We both need to be alone right now. Nick: (looks at Reagan) Are you kicking us out of our own room? Reagan: No. We’re going to go back to our rooms. Nick: You sure? Reagan: (getting up) Yeah. (Goes out to the balcony) You ready to go Tay? Taylor: Yeah I guess. Reagan: Let’s go then. Taylor: If you want to stay with Nick I’ll be ok you know. Reagan: I know. (The girls leave and go back to their hotel. The next day they go back to Florida and they go back to work the day after that. A few weeks later, Reagan and Taylor finally get a break from work and they sit down to have some girl talk.) Reagan: (sits down on the couch with two sodas…she hands one to Taylor) Talk about a hell of a week. Taylor: Tell me about it. I was working on three ads at once. Reagan: Yeah well, I’ve been busy editing the new movie. Taylor: Is it going to be a good one? Reagan: I think so. Taylor: Have you heard from Nick? Reagan: Of course. Taylor: How’s he doing? Reagan: He’s good. Taylor: And AJ? Reagan: (looks at her) What do you want to know? Taylor: I don’t know…how’s he doing? Reagan: He’s been better. Taylor: Oh really…what’s the matter? Reagan: I’m not supposed to say. Taylor: (looks at her) Reagan: Ok you twisted my arm…he thinks you hate him Tay. Taylor: Why would he think that? Reagan: Because of the way you have been acting. Taylor: He thinks I hate him…that is so far from the truth. Reagan: Yeah well, he does. So what are you going to do about it? Taylor: When are they coming home? Reagan: They have a few days off for Valentine’s Day…why? Taylor: You’ll see. (Gets on the phone and calls Denise) Hi Denise…it’s Taylor…hi…how are you…I need your help… |
