GABE (+ DIANA)
(Morning. Gabe finds Diana looking at a
picture of her wedding day. He looks over
her shoulder, then:)
GABE
You were so happy back then.
DIANA
NoI thought I was.
GABE
Theres a difference between being happy and just thinking youre happy?
DIANA
Lots of people who think theyre happy just havent thought about it enough. Lots of people who think
theyre happy are actually just stupid.
GABE
Ah-hah. Howre those new meds working for ya, Ma?
DIANA
Theyre doing what they do.
GABE
Smile.
(Diana looks at him.)
Angry.
(Same look.)
Lifetime of cycling between euphoria and the depths of despair.
(Maybe a raised eyebrow.)
Theyre working.
DIANA
You're going to be late for school. Go. Get ready. Or Ill break your little fingers off.
GABE
You can't break my little fingers off.
DIANA
Go.
GABE
But what am I doing today?
DIANA
OhGodokay. Jazz band before school, class, student government, then...football, right?
GABE
And what position do I play?
DIANA
You know I'm no good with sports. Ask your father.
GABE
He's still not speaking to me.
DIANA
So talk to him.
GABE
You know I've tried.
DIANA
Try harder.
GABE
You could help.
DIANA
I think it's best if you two work it out.
GABE
I think I like you better crazy.
