JUSTIN
A what?
GABBY (a little weak now)
A creative rebirth. JUSTIN (angry)
You don’t know anything about me. I have spent a lot of time getting okay with how my life turned out. You don’t get to come in here talking about creative rebirths. GABBY You’re right. I got pregnant and I
was scared and ashamed and depressed and I couldn’t be anybody’s friend. But I’m here now. JUSTIN No thanks. Justin takes his paint chips and walks away. GABBY Sam, get the speaker.
STAY ON JUSTIN walking away as T.I and RIHANNA’S “Live Your Life” starts to BLARE. Justin stops, looking horrified afraid to turn around. Behind him Gabby has begun to dance. JUSTIN Please don’t be dancing. GABBY Junior year. Partners final. You and me. I know you remember. She’s lip-syncing too. Justin, watches, a little tempted. GABBY (CONT'D)
YOUR GONNA BE, A SHININ’ STAR/ IN FANCY CLOTHES AND FANCY CARS/ THEN YOU’LL SEE, YOU’RE GONNA GO FAR ‘CAUSE EVERYONE KNOWS WHO YOU ARE UPTIGHT LADY Can you please hurry up?
Justin looks back at the Lady, then to Gabby. Lady. Gabby. Home Depot and Health Insurance. Gabby and crazy pipe dream. Then, right as the song hits its ANTHEM-Y CHORUS:
