Scenes with Melanie Freeland
14 scenes Melanie What is that?
It's a belly-button ring.
Melanie Speak up, I can't hear you.
ITS A BELLY-BUTTON RING! HOW ELSE CAN I SAY IT, I DON'T SPEAK NO OTHER LANGUAGES! Oh, and you wanna know what that is, that is a tongue ring.
Mom, why are there four places tonight? Mom?
Melanie Freeland Honey, he just got back. He's only coming for dinner.
Yeah. Tomorrow he's just gonna tune up your car, right?
Melanie Freeland It needs it.
Melanie Freeland What? I'm making your fave!
Mom, I have to go to the bathroom now!
Melaine Freeland
Well, can't you hold it a minute?
That's how you get a bladder infection, you child abuser!
Melanie Freeland Well, that's dramatic.
Melanie Freeland Evie, I'm sorry, but I think it's time for you to go home.
I can't go home. Brooke had a convention in Bakersfield. She said she sent you an E-mail.
Melanie Freeland I guess I didn't check my E-mail.
I'm sorry, Mel. I hope it's okay that I'm here.
Melanie Freeland Well... I guess it's gonna have to be, isn't it?
[starting to cry]
Her boyfriend hits me, Mel. He grabbed my throat and he threw me against his van.
Melanie Freeland Oh, Jesus. Where's your mother, baby?
She- She passed away.
Melanie Freeland I didn't have a mother when I was your age either. I know how hard it is. I do.
Melaine Freeland
[Tracy and Evie run into Tracy's bedroom and shut the door]
Hey! Hey, open this door now!
Melanie Freeland This is not how I raised you. I want you to be civil to me.
[pushes Melaine out of the way as she walks out]
I want you and your stupid boyfriend to be out of my **** life for- what the **** is he doing here?
Melanie Freeland Have you been drinking?
No!
Of course she's been drinking 'cause she's always **** drinking! Isn't that right, Tracy?
Oh, like you never have!
Brady
Hey, hey, hey! Come on.
Mom, no, I can't see that movie.
Melanie Freeland Why?
Because it's a bloody war movie. I'm a pacifist, like Gandhi.
Melanie Freeland Have you had anything to eat today?
MOM, STOP WITH THE FOOD THING ALREADY!
Melanie Freeland **** it! You don't want me to cook for you anymore? Fine! Then don't eat my food!
FINE! I HATE YOUR NASTY STORE BRAND FOOD ANYWAYS!
Melanie Freeland GREAT! NOW I CAN STOP DOING TWELVE HAIR CUTS A DAY TO PAY FOR ALL THIS SHIT! [kicks table] You think I wanna be here?
Melanie Freeland What is that?
Melanie Freeland Speak up, I can't hear you.
ITS A BELLY-BUTTON RING! HOW ELSE CAN I SAY IT, I DON'T SPEAK NO OTHER LANGUAGES! Oh, and you wanna know what that is? [sticks her tounge out] That is a tongue ring.
Melanie Freeland Baby, when did you do all this?
Two thousand years ago! I'm a mummy, I was born two thousand years ago! Whoo!! [spins in a circle]
Melanie Freeland How do you explain $860 in your purse?
[crying]
We jacked it, okay? It's not like your broke-ass has any money to give me! Mom, when Brady went to the halfway house, what happened to our phone? Cable? You didn't know how to pay the bills. It's no wonder Dad didn't want to stay with you! You didn't even finish high school!
Melanie Freeland We don't have extra stuff, but we're doing okay. You know we're doing okay. You don't have to steal.
Oh, Mom, you knew what was going on with all those clothes and shit! Christ, you're not that dumb are you?
Melanie Freeland I didn't know it went that far! [starts crying] Oh God!
Brooke LaLaine
We'll be moving up to Ojai so you won't be seeing Evie again... ever. You're really cruel, Tracey. I mean, I'm sure you can be a sweet kid when you want, but right now you are a really bad influence! I mean you cheat, you lie, you steal...
Oh, my God! Are you kidding me? Where do you think I learned all this shit from? [runs into the kitchen]
Melanie Freeland [follows Tracy]
Tracy was playing with Barbies before she met Evie!
Brooke LaLaine
[follows them]
Oh what? Did she teach her to beat the crap out of her as well [grabs Tracey by the arm] Don't even start with me little one, I've seen the bruises!
What the hell did you tell her, Evie?!
Brooke LaLaine
[turns to Evie]
Come here... What about this?
[Brooke shows the scar by Evie's hairline that Tracey accidentally made when the two girls were play fighting]
What the ****? We were just goofing!
Melanie Freeland Tracy didn't hit her!
Yes, she did!
I don't believe this shit! She hit me too!
No, no, no, Mom! Get off of me. I hate you. Stop!
Melanie Freeland [holds Tracy's face]
I love you. I love you and your brother more than anything in the world. And I'd die for you, but I won't leave you alone right now.
Mason said you want me to move in with Dad [pushes Melanie away] You don't want me here. You don't want me...
Melanie Freeland [hugs Tracy from behind]
I want your Dad to be in your life more. I want you here with me. You're my heart. I'll make it right.
It can never be right.
Melanie Freeland Have you been drinking?
OF COURSE SHE'S BEEN DRINKING, BECAUSE SHE'S ALWAYS **** DRINKING! Isn't that right Tracy?
Melanie Freeland Evie, Brooke says you're not allowed on Melrose without adult supervision.
Melanie Freeland Yup, I am.
Melanie Freeland [goes into Tracy's room and picks up a thong]
I wanna bone. Nice. What's the occasion?
Brooke bought it for us, mom.
She wanted to say thanks, for taking care of me. [hands Melanie a shirt]
