I know he sees this.
I know you see this. You self-absorbed, shallow jerk.
May I remind you, that I am a strong, beautiful,
LAVENDER SCENTED woman who WOULD have a graduate
degree if she hadn’t moved
across the country to follow a heartless man-boy who dumped her
and now won’t even text her back back.
Thanks for nothin’...MOTHERFUCKER! SEND!!

SOUND-FX-GUY

ALI
BUT ALL THIS LOVE...AND HATE...AND FRUSTRATION!!
WAIT

BACK-UPS

ALI
AND WAIT ‘TIL YOU TURN ON THE LIGHT
THEN I’LL CHECK JUST TO SEE YOU’RE ALL RIGHT
AND IF YOU ASKED ME TO STAY, I JUST MIGHT
N’ I COULD BLAME IT ON A SATURDAY NIGHT!

BACK-UPS
SATURDAY NIGHT!
