[Fiona is sleeping in the laundromat and Etta starts hitting her with a broom]
EttaNo sleeping in here! Th- this ain't a homeless shelter!
Etta
Out!
Etta
Out!
Hey, it's me, it's Fiona.
Etta
Out! Out!-
Stop! Stop! You sold me the laundromat, remember?! I bought it from you. I paid you 80 grand! Remember?!
Etta
Well, you made an awful mess.
Yeah, I know, but there's... there's mold under the floor tiles and the ceiling tiles are rotting, so it's a necessary mess.
Etta
Well, I- I can't sleep. I used to be able to sleep all night. Then I hit menopause.
Want me to walk you across the street to Patsy's? Get a piece of pie?
Etta
Have they got cherry?
Usually, yeah. Okay. Come on.
[Eating a steak at a fancy restaurant with Etta just staring at her burger] I could've predicted she'd bail on us. Chaos junkie. [To waiter pouring wine] Thank you, my good man. But can you blame me? That's what I fell for. She was electric. The first night I met her, she threatened to put a cigarette out on my arm. I dared her to do it. And look. After I stopped screaming from the pain, we fucked like rabbits. And from that night on, I knew I would give up everything for that woman. My God, we had fun. Listen to me. I sound like I'm still stuck on her. She burrows under my skin like a fucking tick. Evil. My God, and the years I wasted, broken up over her.
Etta
[Gets up from table] I don't know you.
Sure, you do. It's... it's me, Wendell, your poopsie.
Etta
Wendell's dead. [Walks away with Frank eyeing her purse]
Etta? What are you doing?!
Etta
Bus is late.
Etta
That explains it. Have you seen Wendell?
There you are! I got your leftovers, your purse, your coat.
You just ditched Etta? What, Monica showed up?
I didn't ditch anyone. She left of her own free will. And fuck Monica. My heart is a dead, black hunk of coal as far as she's concerned.
CChad
It's gonna be a Jamba Juice. Cool, huh?
Yeah, it's really awesome watching you guys tear apart everything I built.
CChad
Too late for second thoughts.
I just came from the bank. I deposited the check. Although I took a picture of it first so I can put it on my wall.
CChad
Feel good paying off the mortgage?
I didn't think you guys were gonna tear the place apart so soon.
CChad
We're hosting happy hour. Workers start the remodel tomorrow.
CChad
Mm. South Side Young Professionals.
Etta
[Attacking construction worker] Get your hands off my washer! Thief!
CChad
Guessing you didn't tell her yet.
No, I did. A couple of times. She's got no short-term memory.
MMan
Lady, stop, please. I gotta work.
It's not easy ripping someone from their home of 50 years.
CChad
You get used to it.
CWConstruction worker
Come on. Come on.
Etta
[Attacking him with a broom] You silly ass!
CWConstruction worker
Jesus, lady!
Okay, Etta, Etta, calm down.
Etta
Call the police. They're taking everything.
I know, I know. Come on, let's sit down.
Etta
What the hell's going on?
We talked about this yesterday and last night. We have to leave.
Etta
Why?
'Cause there's asbestos in the walls. And the city found out and they want to shut us down.
Etta
That fucking Mayor Daley. First he hands the White House to that goddamn Catholic, and now this crap.
We gotta get you out of your apartment. Just for a few days. You can come home with me.
Etta
[Gasps] I can stay with you, Sandy?
Yep. I got a room all ready for you.
Etta
Oh! I'll go pack.
Etta
Oh! Oh, we'll have fun. We can go out on the town and let the boys feel us up on the dance floor.
