That Afternoon at BPD
Everyone is in the bullpen talking when Jill walks up.
Jill: There's something for you in the bathroom.
Everyone looks at her.
Tom: Go ahead. We got this.
Jane: Give me two seconds. What? This better be important.
She goes in and hears crying.
Jane: Heather? It's Jane.
Heather: Jane Isles.
Jane: Um, Can I come in?
Heather: Yeah, I guess so.
Jane: Hi.
Heather: Jane Isles is a great me. I'm gonna be Heather Hogan.
Jane: Heather Hogan's not bad.
Heather: It's ridiculous. Heather Hogan. Heather Hogan from Hoboken.
Jane: Well, when you say it like that--
Heather: That's how Tom's mother says it.
Jane: Tom's mother says everything in the most vile and offensive way possible. It's just part of her charm.
Heather: Every time I go to turn these stupid papers in, I-I freak out. I don't know. I've been down there and back three times today.
Jane: Well, I'm sure Tom doesn't mind if you don't change your name.
Heather: He says he doesn't but-
Jane: He does-Yeah. Okay. Okay, there was a case I worked. This woman had two different names, two different husbands, two different lives. But when it comes down to it, She's just one messed-Up chick. She could have 50 names, and she would still be Just one messed-Up chick who doesn't know who she is Or what she wants. But you Whatever your name is-You have a husband who loves you, a job that you love. So, your last name-It's just the way we sign our checks. And who uses checks anymore, anyway?
Jane: Here.
She hands her a few pieces of tissue.
