Scene XII
Emma: Hello? Toby?
J.T.: Welcome. To the Isaacs zone of infinite love and harmony. Sit.
Manny: Thanks, uh, for inviting us.
J.T.: Shalom.
Jimmy: Hey. What's going on?
Ashley: Hey!
Spinner: It's my kind of party.
Ashley: Jimmy, you're here! Finally!
Jimmy: When did you decide to have a party? I thought your parents-
Ashley: Isn't this music just incredible?
Jimmy: Ash, you're burning up.
Ashley: I know. It's so hot in here.
Jimmy: Have you been drinking?
Ashley: No... A, B, C, D, E!
Jimmy: Ecstasy? Where did you get ecstasy from?
Ashley: Toby, J.T., one of them.
Jimmy: Do you know how stupid that is?
Ashley: Stop being so melodramatic. I'm having fun. You can too.
Jimmy: You need to drink water. And lots of it. I can't believe you'd take E!
Ashley: Okay, calm down, Dad. Paige is right, I need to loosen up a little bit.
Paige: (whispers) Ecstasy?
Jimmy: Ash-
Ashley: I'm going upstairs to the bathroom. I'll drink some water. From the toilet.
Scene XIII
Sean: Emma. Emma. Emma!
Emma: Sean, just leave me alone. If I knew you were gonna be here, I would've stayed home.
Manny: I'll go find Liberty.
Sean: Emma, can we talk? Please?
Emma: There's nothing to talk about.
Sean: Emma, you're not being fair.
Emma: Sean, you went too far. We're over. As in finished.
Ashley: Sean! Are you okay? You need to talk to someone. Come on.
Sean: This is so stupid.
Ashley: I know what you're going through.
Sean: How?
Ashley: Okay, everyone thinks you're bad, right? Well, everyone thinks I'm this perfect, boring girl.
Sean: I just thought Emma was so different.
Ashley: Why? She's just like Jimmy. She only sees...
Sean: What she wants to see.
Ashley: Exactly! Sean, don't cry. Don't cry.
Scene XIV
Toby: Hey, Jimmy. Have you seen Emma?
Jimmy: There you are, Mr. Drug Dealer.
Toby: What?
Jimmy: Don't you know that E leads to harder things? Like my fists?
Toby: What do you care if I did E?
Jimmy: 'Cause you didn't. Ashley did. And she said she got it from you.
Toby: Sean switched it.
Jimmy: Sean? Sean's here?
Toby: Yeah, he's upstairs.
Jimmy: Sean, wha-
Ashley: Jimmy. Oh!
Scene XV
Toby: Emma? There you are. Look, it was stupid of me to invite Sean, and I want you to know the only reason I did was because...
Scene XVI
J.T.: One, two, three. Dive!
Jimmy: Where's Sean?
Ashley: Jimmy, stop.
Jimmy: Where's Sean, Spinner?
Spinner: He left, like, 2 minutes ago.
Ashley: Jimmy, stop. Okay, I know you're upset, but what just happened? Was the most intense experience of my life. It was like this, this telescope. And I saw me, the real me.
Jimmy: Look, you don't know what you're saying.
Ashley: What?
Jimmy: It's not you. It's the drugs.
Ashley: Oh, yeah. Keep going, Dad. Keep telling me who I am.
Jimmy: Ash, look.
Ashley: No, no, no. This is exactly why me and Sean just- He gets me. You?
Terri: Ash, stop this, and come with me-
Ashley: Ter, I love your shirt! It's so shiny! Like stars!
Jimmy: Wha-? I'm outta here.
Ashley: What I should have done is broken up with you. On your birthday. Like I was going to.
Paige: Ash, would you just stop being such a hag already?
Ashley: Paige, you are a hag. On two fronts. Your looks and your personality. Oh, Jimmy, it's just... You don't have what Sean has, and you never will. You're just not enough for me. Sorry. Oh, and now you're upset. Don't be. It's okay, it is. It's all good, it is.
Spinner: Nice, Ash.
Ashley: Guys, where are you going? C'mon, it's a party! C'mon. Where's everyone going? C'mon, guys? Guys? C'mon!
Scene XVII
Ashley: Hey. When did that break?
Toby: When you were dancing with Liberty. When you were strung out on E. What were you thinking, Ash?
Ashley: What was I thinking? What were you and J.T. doing with E in the first place?
Terri: Guys, it doesn't matter.
Ashley: Was I really that bad? What if I just call Jimmy?
Terri: Ash. Paige won't talk to you. Do you really think Jimmy will?
Ashley: I'm such an idiot. How am I ever gonna face everyone again?
(knock at door)
Ashley: Jimmy?
Spinner: Here. Jimmy doesn't want this stuff anymore.
Ashley: Spinner, how is he?
Spinner: Just take it. And don't call him.
Terri: Ash...
Toby: Oh! It's time to get this place cleaned up! They'll be home soon! I mean, come on! Ash? You okay?
