Emily
[after Stephanie takes a picture of her]

Did you just take my picture?

I'm yearbook mom.

Emily

Did I ask you to take my picture? Erase it.

Oh, you look really chic. It's just for Faces and Places. Just for the other parents.

Emily

Erase it or I'll slap a **** injunction on your yearbook. Do you understand?

Yeah. Okay. [Deletes the picture] Yeah, it's gone. Whoa. Bye bye.

Emily

Don't do that again.

Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry. Or I didn't mean to offend you. Um, I'm sure that stuff's really sensitive in your industry.

Emily

Oh, no. It's all good.

I'm probably not the kind of person that you're normally friends with.

Emily

Oh, you do not want to be friends with me. Trust me.

[about Davis and Chris dying in a car crash]

It's my fault. I'm the reason they're both dead.

Emily

No. Hey, don't do that. People, people do terrible things for their own **** up reasons. That's on them, not on you.

Yeah. I miss him.

Emily

Which one?

Both. I'm lonely. I think loneliness probably kills more people than cancer.

[Referring to the friendship bracelet]

Here. I made that for you.

Emily

You made this for me?

Thought it would go with that pinstriped suit you have.

Emily

Really? That's nice. No one does stuff like this for me.

I used to watch those Bewitched reruns on TV Land, and I always thought it was so classy when Darren would come from work and Samantha would fix him a martini. So every time we do this, I feel so high-tone.

Emily

My God, you're such a nerd.

Emily
[Picks up her son]

Come here, little dude. Oh, my baby! Look at your shirt. Did any food make it into your mouth?

Miles

Ask her, Nicky! Ask her!

Emily

Ask me what?

Nicky

We want a play date.

Emily

Oh, we can't, mommy already has a play date with a symphony of anti-depressants. Let's go.

Miles and Nicky

Play date! Play date! Play date!

Emily

Baby, please don't do this. I got to go. Come on. I got a ton of work to do.

Nicky

You don't let me have any fun.

Emily

That's not true. I let you tear my labia as you exited my body, so you're welcome.

Emily

You are so nice. I have no idea how you've survived this long.

I'm not as nice as you think, so.

Emily

Are you baiting me?

No! I'm just saying, everybody has a dark side.

Emily

Mm-hmm.

Some of us are better at hiding at it than others.

Emily

Want to trade confessions?

No, no. No.

Emily

Come on, what's the wildest thing you've ever done?

Oh, I... no, I don't know. I shouldn't. You go first.

Emily

Okay, um, a few months ago, Sean and I had his TA over dinner and drinks, and a threesome.

Was Sean jealous of him?

Emily

Did I say it was a him?

That's very cool, sis. Very cool.

I grieved your death.

Emily

I understand. You're not alone. They say that 90% of people who lose their spouse end up sleeping with their spouse's best friend after their funeral, actually.

Really?

Emily

No, I just made that up, you **** dick. That's how you grieve? Balls deep in my best friend?

[Pointing a gun at Sean]

You used me. [to Emily] You used me too. [to Sean] But you had me making you dinner, watching your kid, sucking your dick.

I had no idea that she was still alive!

Stop lying.

Emily

Okay, you guys. I think we should just sit down and talk this out.

Emily, you sit down. You hated Stephanie. You used to watch her vlog and rip her apart.

All I wanted was to be your friend.

Emily

You were. And then you **** my husband and my insurance plan.

Don't blame her! This is so typical of you!

Emily

Sean, I was just trying to get us out of crushing **** debt.

Yeah, maybe if you had the good sense to give me a call, I could've helped you with this little plot of yours.

Emily

Oh, please, you haven't come up with a decent plot in ten years.

Really? Right now?

Can I say something, as the lady with the gun? Nicky deserves better than both of you.

Emily

**** you! I love my kid.

Shut up!

Emily! Emily, stop! Emily, you can't outrun this! Don't do this to Nicky! Come on, you're still his mom!

Emily
[stops and turns]

Yeah, I am. But you sure as shit won't be.

Darren
[as she is about to shoot Stephanie, she is suddenly hit by a car; the car stops and Darren gets out]

America's hybrids. Silent, but deadly.
