Bear: [sitting at a diner table] Ever since we... You’re the only person that I’ve ever... Sorry, this is weird. I–I don’t talk like this. Diner server: [sitting across from him] No, it’s okay. Bear: I feel like I’m coming apart. I think about you all the time, Nikki. I try not to... you’re in every song I listen to. You were the only person who was nice to me when I moved here. And at first, I thought maybe you... Well, I realized who you are. And then, after Nana passed, you were the one that called even when I didn’t have anything to say and we just sat there. So I keep telling myself, “Don’t tell her. She’s too good. And she’ll... you’ll lose her.” But maybe you should know... that I would choose you over everything. Diner server: Aw. [chuckles] That’s everything. Ian: No, no. Stop. Okay, th–th–that was cringey. Bear: Oh, my God. I knew it. Ian: Way too much. Bear: I– I’m so sorry. Diner server: I thought that was sweet. Ian: I thought it was gross. Bear: I–I should’ve... Ian: Okay

Ian: Have you ever actually, like, flirted with Nikki? Invite romance. Bear: Invite romance? Ian: Tease her. Be playfully mean with her. Bear: Be mean to her? Ian: Playfully mean, yeah, but bring up Freaky Nikki. Bear: You want me to call her Freaky Nikki? You know she’s sensitive about that. Ian: Be like, “Hey, remember when you used to get bullied? Everybody called you Freaky Nikki?” She’ll be like, “Oh, my God. Oh, no, Bear, that was... that was so long ago. Don’t. Please.” Bear: And that will, like, take her breath away? Ian: Just say, “Nikki, I think we should grab a drink sometime.” Bear: Yeah, I’ve grabbed drinks sometimes. She always invites you. Ian: Yeah, exactly. Bear: I asked you guys not to come to trivia for one night. Ian: Y–You can’t ask her out at trivia, Bear. You can’t. I–I’m not gonna let you. It’s a good, organic time to ask. I love trivia night.

Dialogue

Bear: [Scared] Nikki, what are you doing?! Nikki: [Emerges from kitchen brandishing a knife, stoic and monotone] Well, if I have the bed all to myself tonight, I'll lay there warm. Until slowly, I feel cold, like I walked into a freezer. My hands will feel like they're full of sand, like when you lay on them wrong. And that feeling will slowly spread across my entire body. You're still in my heart, but you're slipping. Any thought of pain or regret will slip away like a chemical switch. Even though it's quiet in the room, somehow, it gets even quieter. [Bear begins to hyperventilate, eyes tearing, terrified] It's not painful. You just let go, everything you once were, and then there's nothing. It's not darkness, no, sweetie. Darkness is a color. There's just... nothing. [Suddenly cheerful] Or you can stay!

Nikki: Go to a boy's night? Bear: Yeah. Nikki: I can get dressed and go with you. Bear: Oh, man. That, that sounds great. Nikki: Yeah, let me finish showering. I'll... Bear: It's just, um, Ian said it was a boy's night. So, I think, maybe, I'll just go? [Nikki breaks something within the bathroom, screaming almost demonically] Are you okay? Nikki: Huh, that's so weird, 'cause... Sarah was telling me that she's going. Bear: Really? Nikki: Okay, well, I'll just stay here, then. Bear: I mean, if-if Sarah's coming... Nikki: No, no, no, I'm... Bear: No, no, you know what, I-I-I think you should come! I really want you to come! Nikki: NO...! [Bear recoils in fear and backs away from the bathroom door] If you wanted me to

Ian: I knew you were gonna bring her. I fucking knew it. She–she guilt you? Bear: She didn’t guilt me. Shut the fuck up. Ian: You couldn’t be without her for three fucking hours? Bear: Sarah invited her. What was I supposed to do? Ian: Sure. Bear: You told me you weren’t going to invite Sarah. Ian: Sarah did nothing wrong. Bear: Neither did we. Ian: No weird shit. [to a party guest] Hey. Keep your fucking hands off my mom’s china, asshole. Party guest Reggie: [takes jenga block] Hey. Okay, it’s my turn. [reads block] My turn. Ooh, someone’s getting fucked up. Okay. “Choose someone to drink every time you do for the next three rounds.” Ah, yeah, you’re going down with this ship. Party guest Joe: [takes jenga block] Man, here we go. Cheers. [sighs and reads block] Uh, “Switch seats with anyone.” Baron, I want to sit next to Nikki. Group: [Joe gets up and walks over] Ooh. Nikki: No. Nikki: [Bear gets up] It’s okay, baby. Oh. No, it’s okay. I showered, baby. Party guest Joe: [sitting next
