VIOLET
I hate you. She slams into her bedroom and then comes out and just opens up and screams at him in an unadulterated way that gets everyone’s attention. VIOLET (CONT’D)
You don’t know Van. You think you know it all but you don’t know. Mom told me I was beautiful. Every day Mom told me I was beautiful and any boy would be crazy not to love me. And she’s dead and Dad’s dead and I’m stuck with you and Hashtag you’re an idiot. VAN That doesn’t mean anything. VIOLET Yes it does.
She curls into a ball on the floor, rocks back and forth and cries. Mandy who has watched all this, feeling for Van, moves toward Violet. But Van reaches a hand to stop her. VAN Give her a minute. MANDY I’m sorry. I tried texting her. VAN It’s okay. (then...)
I shouldn’t have said what I said to you before. You’re trying your best. I’d shoot myself in the head if I had your job. MANDY You have the right to get frustrated. And I may suck at this job but I love Violet. I love all of them and I’ve been trying really hard to make a difference for them. VAN Are you moving to Cambridge? MANDY I don’t know.
