CLOSER IN ON BOTH WOMEN

CLOSE-UP ON BRENDA

CLOSE-UP ON MARY

Brenda meets Mary outside the coffee shop. You can tell Brenda is very worried about something.

BRENDA

Thanks for coming, Mary.

MARY

Of course! When I got your call I came running!

The girls are nursing their drinks - Brenda has a green smoothie while Mary sips on her cappuccino.

Brenda has trouble making eye contact - this won’t be easy for her. Mary is anxious.

MARY

Well, whatever it is you have to tell me, you should just let it out.

Mary inhales, closes her eyes, and blurts it out.

BRENDA

I was the one who told on you at school!

Mary is distraught.

MARY

Oh, Brenda, how could you?
