Apartment 4E Page #2

---

SHE SAID YOU WERE PULLING AWAY,

PUSHING HER OUT.

SHE WAS SCARED BECAUSE YOU WERE

SCARED AND UPSET,

SHE COULD TELL.

SHE COULD TELL?

YES.

HMM.

I TOLD HER IT WAS CRAZY.

I MEAN, SHE HARDLY

EVEN KNOWS YOU,

BUT SHE SAID IT WAS

A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH,

AND SHE KNEW:

WHAT THAT WAS LIKE.

Piper:

HUH.

SHE COULD TELL.

MY CONFIDENT PERSISTENT MOLLIE,

THE STORIES SHE COULD TELL.

PIPER?

TELL ME SOMETHING I DON'T KNOW.

COULD I JUST COME IN?

TELL ME SOMETHING ABOUT HER...

THAT I DON'T KNOW,

AND I'LL LET YOU IN.

John:
WHAT'S SOMETHING

YOU DON'T KNOW?

OKAY, UH...

HOW WILL YOU KNOW

IF IT'S TRUE?

Piper:

I'LL KNOW.

ALL RIGHT. UH...

I- DO YOU KNOW WHERE SHE WAS BORN?

BALTIMORE!

COME ON, JOHN! EARN IT!

UH, SHE WRITES POETRY,

BUT SHE WON'T SHOW IT TO ANYONE.

SHE SHOWED IT TO ME.

OKAY. UH, SHE-SHE LOVES DOGS

SO MUCH SHE REFUSES TO OWN ONE.

AND SHE TOLD EVERYONE THAT SHE

NEVER WANTED TO HAVE CHILDREN,

SOMETHING:

I DON'T KNOW, JOHN!

BUT THE TRUTH IS SHE

COULD NEVER HAVE THEM.

SHE WAS VERY SICK

WHEN SHE WAS LITTLE,

THEY HAD TO REMOVE HER...

OVARIES-

A GROWTH OR A TUMOR.

I DON'T KNOW.

WE NEVER ACTUALLY

TALK MUCH ABOUT IT.

BUT THEY SAID THAT SHE COULD

NEVER HAVE CHILDREN

SO SHE CONVINCED EVERYONE

THAT IT WAS HER CHOICE.

HER WAY OF MANAGING,

I GUESS.

BUT IT WASN'T HER CHOICE.

SHE MADE ME PROMISE

NOT TO TELL.

PIPER?

PIPER, ARE YOU THERE?

GOD, PIPER, PIPER?

LISTEN TO ME.

DON'T DO WHATEVER IT IS

YOU'RE THINKING OF DOING

WITHOUT AT LEAST TALKING TO ME.

MOLLIE TOLD ME.

MOLLIE TOLD ME:

ABOUT THE GUN.

SHE SAID IT WASN' THE FIRST TIME YOU PULLED AWAY,

BUT THAT TH-TH-TH THIS-

SOMEHOW THIS WAS DIFFERENT.

OR MAYBE IT WAS HER.

MAYBE SHE WAS DIFFERENT.

BUT-BUT SHE SAID

TO MAKE SURE-

TO DO WHATEVER IT TAKES

TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE SAFE.

TO MAKE SURE...

PIPER?

( gun shot )

GOD, PIPER!

( grunting )

SHUT THE DOOR.

( alarm rings )

( alarm continues )

? OH, MY LOVE

? WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO PROVE

? SHOWING ME YOUR BLOOD

? SHOWING ME YOU'RE BRUISED

( alarm stops )

? YOU SAY THAT NOTHING HURTS

? LIKE THE TRUTH

? SO THAT'S WHAT I'LL USE

? FOR THE RECORD

? I NEVER LOVED YOU

? LIKE FOOLS DO

? YOU WANTED BIG LOVE

? WELL, I TRIED

? I JUST COULDN'T WORK IT UP

? INSIDE

? WHEN I SAID

I COULDN'T GET ENOUGH?

? I LIED

? I THINK YOU SAW I ? IN MY EYES

Piper:
SHUT THE DOOR.

( door slams )

( breathing heavily )

YOU'RE OKAY.

UH... SORRY ABOUT THE CHAIN.

I JUST, UH...

I WASN'T SURE.

YOU DIDN'T ANSWER AND...

AND WHAT?

HEY. IS THAT REALLY NECESSARY?

I'M NOT HERE TO HURT YOU.

NO, YOU'RE HERE

TO TELL ME ABOUT MOLLIE.

I AM?

YES, THAT'S WHY

I LET YOU IN.

YOU LET ME IN?

( chuckles )

I KIND OF JUS BROKE DOWN YOUR DOOR.
