CLAUDETTE
You don't know? You really are going crazy.
(CLAUDETTE POINTS THE FINGER AT LISA.)
I have to go pick up my breast cancer medicine. Can you
believe it's going to cost me $ 120.00? I think the whole
thing was made up just so they can make some easy money.
Imagine, taking advantage of an old defenseless lady who's
losing her life.
LISA
Mom, just take the medicine and you'll be fine. Are you
coming to the party?
CLAUDETTE
Sure, I suppose so.
(CLAUDETTE WALKS TO THE DOOR. SHE OPENS THE DOOR AND LISA AND
CLAUDETTE EXIT. JOHNNY IS STILL BEHIND THE STAIRCASE. HE IS
IN SHOCK.)
JOHNNY
How can they say this about me? I don't believe it. Lisa has
been unfaithful and that woman, her mother, cares more about
her "life threatening" cancer than she does about me.
(HE MAKES QUOTATION SIGNS WITH HIS FINGERS AS HE SAYS "LIFE
THREATENING".)
I'll show them, I'll record everything.

MARK
(MARK SITS NEXT TO PETER.)
Are you sure you're okay?
(PAUSE.)
Why do you want to know my secret? Well, you're right, it's
Lisa. I don't know what to do. I'm so depressed. I think I'll
kill myself. Johnny is my best friend. She's so manipulative.
PETER
How did this happen? If Johnny finds out that will be the end
of your friendship. What were you thinking? Look, life is
very complex, but you have to face it. You should have to be
responsible. My advice to you is that you should stop
thinking about her, and never do sex with her. Find another
girl. That's my advice. Lisa's a sociopath. She only cares
about herself, and she's incapable of loving anyone.
MARK
Whatever Peter. Let's go.
(THEY GO OUT THE DOOR.)

Gee Mark, why don't you try NOT hurting someone for a change.
PETER
It's not his fault. It's those damn drugs!
JOHNNY
Come on, let's go see a doctor.

It's better to burn out than fade away.

Yeah, that's it bro!!
MARK
In the warrior's code there's no surrender.
JOHNNY
You got it Mark, that's the one!!!
MARK
When there's thunder in your heart, every move is like a
lightning.
JOHNNY
Yes!!! Right on! Ha Ha!

best?

You're not such an angel yourself.
MICHELLE
We're not talking about me.

ready.

Thank you honey, this is a beautiful party. You invited all
my friends. Good thinking.
LISA
You're welcome darling. You know how much I love you.

This is going to pull us all down, it's going to shake up our
