"You Do The Best In Life No Matter What Happens"
Special thanks to MBC for contributing the pics and the transcripts!
K: (smiles) "Were you ever jittery the
first day of college?"
S: "First day of anything." (holds up his coffee cup for her)
"You want a sip. Unless it's gonna make you more nervous."
K: (smiles) "No I'll take the risk." (takes the cup in her
hand) "Thanks. Thanks for letting me stay here last night."
S: "It's my pleasure."
K: "I know that if I have to go home last night with Ray sleeping on the
couch I wouldn't have been able to."
S: (nods) "And you see, you didn't have to."
K: "I hope I didn't put you out."
S: "No I told you. Stone wasn't using his bed. You didn't put anybody
out."
K: "Okay. Well thanks to you I made it through last night." (walks
toward the breakfast counter and picks up her keys) "I'm just been
worried if I go home and he's still there, I don't know what I'm gonna do."
{Scene 2}
S: "If he's at your place again, you can come
here. I thought you knew that" (Karen walks back towards him)
K: "So what about Stone? I mean it's his bedroom, you know?"
S: "He's staying at his brother's right, he can't sleep in two places at
the same time. If you ran into a physics major, he'd tell you the same thing,
right?"
K: (chuckles) "Well, yeah. But I mean, what if Stone wants to come
back?"
S: "You'll be the first to know. So, mi casa es tu casa, okay?"
K: "Okay."
S: (picks up Karen's coffee cup and heads back to the breakfast counter with
it) "So, you think Stone and Jagger are hitting it off?"
K: "I dunno… I hope so."
S: "Must be kinda tricky for Stone you know. Face to face with his brother
after all these years. You know Jagger right?"
K: (making sure she doesn't look at Sonny) "Why would you think
that?"
S: "Well, you both work at Kelly's. Doesn't take a genius."
K: (trying to cover her tracks) "Oh. I know him, yeah."
S: "Is he a lot like Stone?"
K: (turns to look at him) "Taller."
S: "What is Stone walking into over there?"
K: "You know, I really don't know. You should ask Stone."
S: "I did, but you know the kid doesn't talk much in case you haven't
noticed. I think he's still in shock after all the stuff that's going on with
him, you know."
K: "Hmm… well I guess they both are." (walks toward the recliner
and picks up her vest to put it on)
S: "Well, I'm waiting. Jagger, what's the story."
K: "He's just a guy. He works… he rides his motorcycle." (turns
away from him and picks up her purse)
S: (walks towards her) "You don't wanna talk about it?"
K: "I didn't say that."
S: "You didn't have to."
K: "I'm transparent huh?"
S: "Hey, that's all right. Did you two have something going?"
K: "It's over, but yeah."
S: "Does he know?"
K: "That it's over?"
S: "About you and Ray?"
K: (shakes her head) "Uh uh. he wouldn't understand. How would he? I
mean I don't even understand myself."
S: "Hey, what you're going through is hard for anybody to understand. Some
guys just can't deal with it Carrie."
K: "You understand though. At least you seem to anyway."
S: "Because we're a lot alike."
K: (disbelieving) "Alike. Yeah right."
S: "You think you're the only one that's made mistakes? I've made
plenty."
K: "Sonny that's just so hard for me to believe because you seem to be so
together."
S: "Because I roll with the punches. You can't go through life dredging up
bad things from the past. You have to just let it go. And those people who bring
those things up? You have to let them go too."
K: (in awe) "You just make everything sound so easy."
S: "It's not. Bad things happen in life. A lot of time people have no
control over it. And there are a lot of people… they don't understand. They
think what happens to us happens because we let it."
K: "And you don't believe that."
S: "Hell no! You wanna know what my theory is? You do the best you can in
life no matter what happens. You do the BEST you can! And nobody… I mean
NOBODY… has the right to judge you."
K: "I like that."
S: "We're only human Carrie, remember that."
K: "I'm gonna try."
S: "Good."
K: "I gotta get to school. I'm gonna be so late."
S: (walks her to the door) "Okay, okay. Forget about all that
stuff… all that stuff that's bad and all that. You concentrate on you. And if
you wanna bunk here tonight, any night, whatever, whatever you want, just say
the word."
K: (nods) "Thank you."
She leans into him and kisses his cheek. Sonny closes his eyes at this and then
opens them after a moment to watch her walk down the hall.
