Scene ~ Jason finds Carly outside on the terrace after the debut of Bobbie and Jerry's sex ed video. He touches her shoulder, and she turns, trying to smile through her tears. Jason: You worry too much.
Carly: How'd you like my mom's show? And I do mean show. People will be talking about that forever.
Jason: Yeah. Didn't seem to bother Bobbie too much. Why should it bother you?
Carly: Maybe Bobbie doesn't care what people think. Maybe you don't either. But I do. (pause) I made a fool outta myself tonight.
Jason: How? Just by being the daughter of somebody who had the bad luck-
Carly: No... By thinking that I could ever be... On the same ground as someone like Amanda Barrington. She's this great lady, Jase. And she's handing out invitations and smiling at the things that I said. And I'm thinking it's me, you know? 'I'm charming. And I'm special.' And... You know what she was thinking the whole time? 'My dear old friend Edward's grandson married trash.' (quietly) Trash. And I don't blame Bobbie for that. I blame myself... For forgetting who I am. Who I've always been, who I will always be.
(Jason shakes his head as if to say, 'You don't know how wrong you are'. He touches her face and tucks her hair behind her ear.)Jason: Alright. You tell me. Has Amanda Barrington ever fought like a wild animal for her kid? Hmm?
Carly: (smiles) Probably not.
Jason: Did she ever turn the great Dr. Evans at Ferncliffe red and make steam come out of his ears?
Carly: (laughs) Definitely not.
Jason: Okay. Did she ever whack a probable rapist with a tire iron outside of Jakes in the alley?
Carly: (grins and laughs) Did I?
Jason: (he smiles, that irresistable Jason smile that would make anyone's heart beat faster) So you tell me which one is the great lady.
