Father : All I'm saying is you two are sisters. You have got to work this out.
Jane : I'm telling you, she doesn't want to talk.
Father : No, no. She loves you. Everything is gonna be fine. Okay. If you just-
Tess : Dad? What
the hellis she doing
here?
Father : Tess, this is between you and her. I'm out of this. You know, Flo, have
you seen the new weed whackers we've got out front? The latest model.
Jane : I feel terrible. I'm so sorry for what happened.
Tess : Sorry? You humiliated me in front of every single person that I know, and
you think you could just say sorry?
Jane : I know. But-
Tess : Jane, you were always jealous of me.
Jane : What?
Tess : Always! My clothes! My boyfriends!
Jane : Stop it!
Tess : You've just been waiting for the chance to
tear me down.
Jane : That's not true.
Tess : Yes, it is! And you took the one thing that was finally working out.
Jane : Oh, please! This is so typical, Tess. You're not taking any responsibility
for the fact that you lied to George. You manipulated him.
Put down the bug spray. Put down the bug spray, Tess! Did you even love him? Or
was it just convenient?
Jane : Oh, please, Jane. Get off your high
horse. Just admit it. You resent me. Because you're the one who
always had to braid my
hair and make my Halloween outfits and go shopping for my prom dress.
Jane : No, I have never resented any of that.
Tess : Yes, you have. You always thought that my life was so easy.
Jane : It was! It is! You have never had a care in the world. You're beautiful
and fun and charming. Your life is perfect.
Tess : Perfect? Are you crazy? You have no idea. You want to know the real reason
why I decided to stay in New York? I got fired from my job. And to top it off,
Rudolfo dumped me.
He dumped me. And then George came along, and he was nice to me. And he treated
me well, you know? And I just wanted to be someone that he wanted. I was trying
to be someone who deserved him. Someone he could respect. I was trying to be
you.
Jane : Why? Why would you want to be me when you get to be you?
Tess : This is a mess.
Jane : I know.
Tess : Jane, you've been trying to take care of me ever since Mom died.
Jane : I had to.
Tess : No, you didn't have to.
Jane : But- But if I don't then-
Tess : But if you don't, then you'll just be my sister, which is what it should
be. Maybe when I was young you needed to help me out. But now? You gotta stop
taking care of me, of everybody.
Jane : Hello? Hi. Yeah. Yeah. It's no problem. No, of course. Yeah, I'll be right
there. Okay. Okay, bye.
