*Scarlett passed out being rolled*
across hallways on a gurney

Aubrey: (Holding Scarlett's hand) Scarlett. The last thing we want is for you to be in harms way.

Atriel: (On the other side) Scarlett. We are here for you. You know how much Crissy meant to all of us.

*The doctors wheel the gurney away*

3 hours later

Aubrey: (Locks her door)

Arthur: Hey.

Aubrey: (Turns around)

Arthur: Are you Aubrey Plaza?

Aubrey: Are you dipshit Arthur Denbull.

Arthur: Okay. (Walks closer to Aubrey)

Aubrey: No. Let me cut to the chase. You are an arrogant piece of shit who thinks the world revolves around him. I bet your only reason to be here is to harass me for your own bullshit problems but because im on the side that is respectful you want to try to intimidate me. (Knees Arthur in the nuts) Well I have the upper hand you worthless horses ass!! (Throws Arthur through the wall of the basement)

Arthur: (Groans and hits a glass shelf and shatters it)

Aubrey: (Picks up rake) I just hate when people hurt the ones I love!!! (Smashes the rake through glass and portraits)

Arthur: (Backs up against the now shattered shelf) Aubrey I-

Aubrey: (Puts the rake up to Arthur's neck)
That is the one thing that really brings out the worst side of me!!

Arthur: Don't kill me!!

Aubrey: (Lifts Arthur up by his shirt) TELL ME EVERYTHING!! TELL ME ALL THE DAMAGE YOU DID YOU HORRIBLE, UGLY, UNATTRACTIVE, PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR A MAN! (Slams him against the shelf) TELL ME.

Arthur: (Screams) OKAY!!! I HIRED ANTONIA GENTRY TO POSION MY DAD WITH THE SKIN FOUND IN LIZZIE'S FINGERNAIL AND MADE A SOUP OUT OF POISONOUS MUSHROOMS, BLEACH AND MADE SURE THE SKIN WENT DOWN TO GET MY FATHERS ENTIRE FORTUNE AND BECOME A MULTI-MILLIONAIRE BUT I WOULD NOT HURT LIZZIE BECAUSE I NEED HER!!

Aubrey: Roger is dead. (Throws Arthur down) (Pulls out her phone and walks away) Oh God.

Florence: (Watching Tv) (Drinking tea) (Swallows a pill)

Rachel: Hey.

Florence: Rachel.

Rachel: Yeah.

Florence: (Throws an empty pill bottle against the wall) It's really you.

Rachel: Does any other Rachel look this gorgeous? (Smiles)

Florence: Oh!! IM SO SORRY!!!

Rachel: Florence. I'm not mad at you. I realize that the only reason you ever felt the pressure you did was because Scarlett was in the hospital in a serious coma.

Florence: True. I love you and I never got to say it again to you before you died.

Rachel: I know you loved me. I always knew. I also know that deep down no matter how guilty you feel, and how mad you think I am or was at you, I know you know that I loved you just the same.

Florence: I do.

Rachel: Then let's sing.

Florence: (Grabs a mic)

Rachel: (Picks up a mic)

Florence: We were good, we were gold

Rachel: Kinda dream that can't be sold

Florence; We were right 'til we weren't
Built a home and watched it burn

Rachel: Mm, I didn't wanna leave you
I didn't wanna lie

Florence: Started to cry but then remembered I

Rachel: I can buy myself flowers

Florence: Write my name in the sand

Rachel: Talk to myself for hours

Florence: Say things you don't understand

Rachel: I can take myself dancing

Florence: And I can hold my own hand

Rachel & Florence: Yeah, I can love me better than you can

Rachel: Can love me better
I can love me better, baby
Can love me better
I can love me better, baby

Florence: Paint my nails, cherry red
Match the roses that you left

Rachel: No remorse, no regret
I forgive every word you said

Florence: Ooh, I did not wanna leave you, baby
I didn't wanna fight

Rachel: Started to cry but then remembered I

Florence: I can buy myself flowers
Write my name in the sand

Rachel: Talk to myself for hours, yeah

Florence: Say things you don't understand

Rachel: I can take myself dancing, yeah
I can hold my own hand

Florence: Yeah, I can love me better than you can
Can love me better
I can love me better, baby
Can love me better

*Her phone rings and Aubrey is on caller ID*

Florence: I can love me better, baby
Can love me better
I can love me better, baby

Scarlett: (On a gurney)

Doctor Harris: Make sure she is okay. She has gone through extreme pain and she deserves a break.

Doctor Lee: We are doing everything we can.

Doctor Harris: Hey. I understand. I'm a doctor as well. You and I both know you are not doing EVERYTHING you possibly can. Doctor to doctor, do better. Scarlett is an extraordinary person and I want to be there for her.

Doctor Lee: I understand. (Turns around with a suspicious look on his face)

Florence: (Laying down)

Jodie: (Comes in) Florence. OH MY GOD!!! THIS ROOM IS HORRENDOUS!!! (Shrieks)

Florence: I know. I just need to cry.

Jodie: Stop crying. I had a talk with Scarlett.

Florence: Oh. Jodie why?

Jodie: I hate to see you hurt!  She is in the hospital now because she had an immune problem to the alcohol she happened to be drinking.

Florence: She's in the hospital right now.

Jodie: Yes, but she is doing better.

Florence: What did they say was the cause?

Jodie: They just said its a chemical found in most bleaches.

Florence: (Picks up her phone) (Looks at Aubrey's text messages) I have to go. (Walks toward the door)

Jodie: (Stands in front of Florence) Where are you going Florence?

Florence: Nowhere that I can tell to you.

Jodie: I want to be here for you.

Florence: No you don't.

Jodie: Yes I do. Florence, I am here because I love you.

Florence: Then don't. (Walks past Jodie)

Jodie: (Turns and tries to hold back tears)

Lizzie: (Sleeping)

Dana: (Grabs pillow) I hope you rest well..
(Puts the pillow over Lizzie's face) In hell!!!
