GINA
Harry called.
JOE
(growing dread)
And?
GINA
(there's now way to say it)
Lucy overdosed.
JOE
(a long moment)
But she's alright.
GINA
She's in ICU.
Joe's legs give way. He sort of sits on the floor.
JOE
(laughs; shakes his head)
Stupid tart.
GINA
She left a note.
JOE
(realizes the import; to Gina)
Fuck you.
Tears start down Sally's face.
GINA
You need to call your dad.
JOE
Leave us alone right now.
GINA
I've booked you a flight and packed you a bag.
You just need to get into a car and go.
SALLY
Would you leave us alone right now?
GINA
I love her too, Joe.
JOE
Alright, good. Thanks for your trouble.
So will you leave Sally and me alone right now?
SALLY
(a shrug; simply)
Everybody hates the messenger.
Gina exits.
