Train Night Monologue
Int. Train - Night
THERESA and MADISON are sitting on the train. THERESA looks at her phone, checking the time.
MADISON
I'm so sorry.
THERESA
It's okay.
THERESA looks outside.
THERESA
It's my fault.
The train stops.
MADISON
I got to go. Bye.
MADISON exits while THERESA waves.
INT. THERESA AND BONNIE'S APARTMENT - NIGHT
THERESA rushes inside. The dining room light is on, it lights up some of the living room.
THERESA
Bonnie, I'm home.
THERESA walks to the dining room through the living room.
BONNIE is at the table. She fiddles with a cake, using a fork. The cake says, Happy Anniversary, on it.
THERESA
Hey there.
(walks forward)
You wouldn't believe the day—
Bonnie
How's Valerie?
BONNIE picks up the empty plates, walking …show more content…
She has a cold, remember?
BONNIE places the plates in the sink.
THERESA
Well, I just bought you a jacket. It has this really nice floral...
BONNIE leaves through the kitchen's other entrance.
THERESA
I mean, I got you those Bluetooth headphones that you wanted, too.
THERESA follows BONNIE into the bedroom.
THERESA
I've been hiding them in the closet for the past few weeks.
BONNIE stops in the middle of the dark room. THERESA turns on the light.
THERESA
What did you get me?
BONNIE turns towards THERESA.
THERESA
Not that it matters. I was just wondering if you got me anything besides that... beautiful cake.
BONNIE
Where did you go today?
THERESA
Oh, I went downtown with Madison and Hazel to this production at Madison's college... or the college she will be going to soon.
BONNIE
And?
THERESA
That's it. Well, it ended late. So, I got here late. I'm really—
BONNIE
Why should I believe you?
PAUSE.
THERESA
Should you have left the cake out?
THERESA walks to the dining room.
BONNIE follows her.
Bonnie
Weren't you saying something?
THERESA
(walks into the kitchen)
Bonnie, I don't want this.
BONNIE
You don't want me?
THERESA
No, of course not.
