Carly & Bobbie

Scene ~ Kelly's...

Carly: Hey.

Bobbie: Hi.

Carly: Can you take a break?

Bobbie: Why? Is something wrong?

Carly: No, actually. Something's right. Something is very right for the first time. I... I'm happier than I've ever been right now. Right this minute. Are you ready to hear why?

Bobbie: I'm sure it has something to do with Jason.

Carly: He needs me. For the first time, he knows it. You know, not just as Michael's mother, not just as his friend. But... Jason and I are connected. And he... he feels it. Now you can say that I'm self-destructive. You can say that I should leave well enough alone, I should make peace with reality. But you know what? Reality changes (snaps her fingers) just like that. So...

Bobbie: You're right about that.

Carly: And I know exactly what you're thinking. Um, you're...

Bobbie: Actually, Carly. You have absolutely no idea what I'm thinking. And you couldn't guess if your life depended on it.

Carly: (starts to smile a little) Okay, momma. What is it? What is going on with you?

* * * * *

Bobbie: You know, Carly, it's no big mystery. I mean, I'm just saying I'm not in any position to give you a lecture on Jason.

Carly: Oh yeah? Since when?

Bobbie: Nobody can read another person's heart.

Carly: Oh, yeah. I can read Jason's.

Bobbie: Well... Maybe you can. Maybe you are soulmates. Who am I to say you're not? Maybe Jason is the only man in the world who can make you feel alive.

Carly: This is a switch.

Bobbie: Just be careful. Think things through because love can really confuse you. Especially the kind of love you feel for Jason. It's not rational. It comes from the heart. And it overwhelms you so that... Whenever he's in the room, all you can think about is the way he smiles at you.

Carly: Is this... Is this still about me and Jason? Cuz why am I getting the feeling that it's not?
