LANA
You were telling the truth
It really wasn't you

REGAN
You finally came to your senses

LANA
Regan I am so sorry

REGAN
Don't apologise
I think I figured out how it got leaked
And you were right
Turns out it really was all my fault

LANA
What do you mean?!
Regan please
I can't take anymore surprises

REGAN
Before I tell you
I want you to know I didn't mean for any of this to happen
I swear I never wanted to hurt you Lana

LANA
What did you do??

REGAN
Look
It all started after our fight in December
I was crushed and you didn't seem to care at all

LANA
I cared very much actually
But how would you know...

REGAN
I know it doesn't seem like it but the things you said really, really hurt me

LANA
That's rich
You didn't exactly hold back, if I recall
You literally accused me of using my addiction for attention
And that's not even the worst thing you said

REGAN
And I regret all of that
I didn't mean it Lana
I was angry
And you know the word vomit takes over when I'm angry

LANA
You have been serving me this kind of excuse for 26 years
I don't want to hear it

REGAN
Stop interrupting me then
I'm trying to be honest for once!

LANA
Fine, go ahead

REGAN
I was crushed because deep down I knew you had a point
And you're my sister, you never stopped talking to me for so long before
I was really missing you Lana

LANA
Tbh I didn't know how hard you were taking the whole situation
All it would've taken was an apology

REGAN
You know I don't know how to apologise

LANA
It's a lesson learned the hard way
Anyway this isn't what we're here to talk about
Tell me how my addiction story got leaked

REGAN
Well I went through a rough patch the last few months and I was really down for a while
And every time I opened social media you were all over my feed. I was angry that you were doing so well without a care in the world
Meanwhile I was crushed because we weren't talking

LANA
And?

REGAN
Do you remember my artist friends in LA?

LANA
The ones you met during that workshop last year?

REGAN
Yes, them
Well I was on the phone with Keith one day...

LANA
As in, Keith Peterson? The nut job with a mullet?

REGAN
Yeah
Well he brought you up not knowing that you and I weren't on good terms
It was after The Avengers came out
And I just snapped
I started venting about the whole situation
I ended up blurting out everything
Not just about our fight but the entire background story
I told him you were an ex alcoholic
I said so many things I shouldn't have said
I didn't even realise what I was doing!

LANA
Oh my God
Did Keith leak it?

REGAN
Yes
I confronted him the other day
He said the tabloids offered him a good price for that story
And he needed the money
I am so sorry Lana
It was an accident

LANA
Let me get this straight
You "accidentally" revealed the ONE thing I didn't want you to tell a soul?
Even after I told you a hundred times it would destroy my reputation and career if it ever got out

REGAN
I didn't know what I was doing Lana
I swear I couldn't imagine things would get so out of hand, I wasn't thinking straight!

LANA
And you expect that to make it all okay?
God, Regan are you fucking kidding me?
I've been harping on about my addiction and sobriety for YEARS and you're telling me you "couldn't imagine things would get so out of hand"??
I honestly don't know what to say right now
Your selfishness just blow my mind
Do you have ANY idea how this will affect Nolan in the future?!

REGAN
Why are you mad at me instead of taking it out on Keith?! I made a mistake but he's the one who sold that story!

LANA
Of course I am fucking furious at Keith
But he's not my sister, YOU ARE
When are you going to care about anyone but yourself?!

REGAN
It was a mistake Lana
A stupid, selfish, petty mistake
I feel terrible

LANA
I don't care how you feel right now

REGAN
I'm sorry Lana

LANA
I don't want your apology
It's too late
