Fran sits in a chair. Roxy sits on a couch. On a coffee
table sits a handgun and a pad of paper. A moment passes.
ROXY
You know, I am in awe.
FRAN
Uh huh.
ROXY
About what you did.
FRAN
Yeah?
ROXY
Killing that bitch. With a gun, in
broad daylight. How did you get
the courage?
FRAN
Yeah, I have lots of that.
ROXY
Is that the gun you used?
Roxy picks the gun up.
FRAN
Careful with that.
ROXY
It's heavy.
Roxy puts the gun down and picks up the pad of paper. She
reads it out loud.
ROXY (CONT'D)
Dear Eva,.....(reads note)...this
is a suicide note?
FRAN
Perceptive.
ROXY
Your suicide note?
FRAN
That would be accurate only after I
commit suicide, now wouldn't it.
ROXY
You can't do that. You can't do
that. OK, this is really bad. No.
Please. That would just ruin
everything. You are everything I
want to be. Oh my god, oh my god.
Roxy is getting very upset. Almost frantic - in tears. Fran
picks up the gun and points it at her1 own head.
ROXY (CONT'D)
Oh fuck...this is the greatest
thing that has happened around
here...what am I going to do. You
can't take away what you started.
It is too brilliant.
FRAN
I will kill myself if you don't
fucking shut up.
ROXY
Yes. Yes. OK. OK.
Roxy does the zipper across the mouth gesture. Then there is
awkward silence. Fran lowers the handgun.
ROXY (CONT'D)
So...so did you kill her because
you couldn't have her?
FRAN
I didn't kill her because I
couldn't have her. I killed her
because she wasn't nice.
ROXY
Yes. Of course. She was a cunt.
But there are so many other cunts
...and pricks...lots of pricks out
there. You can't commit suicide
now.
Fran throws her a look.
ROXY (CONT'D)
I mean never You should never
commit suicide. It's not for you.
Use the gun to kill some one else.
FRAN
Like who?
ROXY
Oh god, there's so many...Nascar
fans. I hate Nascar fans with the
beer bellies and big hair
girlfriends. A companion to that
is country music. I hate country
music fans. I loathe people who
dress their babies in band t
shirts. And...and...Taylor Swift.
I dislike Taylor Swift.
FRAN
I like Taylor Swift.
ROXY
Yes. Yes. I like Taylor Swift
too. Her new song...it's catchy.
