Skylar the Beautiful

How are you holding up?

I mean, how am I holding up.

The rents due.

I think they might shut the power off today.

Which is fine,

considering that I just mostly stare up at the ceiling

contemplating how I'm going to spend the next 18 years of my

life.

I don't know.

My feet are hurting constantly.

I can't even bend down to tie my shoe,

and I go to bed terrified every night.

It just all feels like a bad dream,

and I feel like I'm gonna wake up and Georgia's gonna be

there.

I just,

Not to mention that he left with no life insurance,

no money saved up,

and

I don't know, I guess you could say that

I'm not so hot right now.

Listen, you are a strong, capable woman.

You're gonna be a great mom.

As for the electric bill,

Jeff actually already took care of it this month.

Okay?

But that being said,

we need to talk about how you're gonna take care

of yourself.

Skylar, you know, I will always be there for you,

but Jeff and I we're spread as thin as it is.

I know I don't expect a lot.

And you know, dad's always been there, so.

Dad lost his job, Skylar.

What?

He was laid off about two months ago.

We were gonna tell you,

but we didn't want to bother you with baby and George losing

his job

He was t-boned into a tree and crushed to death.

Yeah.

You can get a job?

Skylar, unless you've got a man ready

to walk through that door in the next five minutes

and sweep you and your unborn child off your feet,

I suggest you consider your options.

What is that?

It's just a formality really.

Kip said you could start today or tomorrow,

but sooner rather than later.

So this is why you came out here?

Not because you care, but because you want your poor,

widowed sister to find a job so she doesn't have to ask for

money?

You're not widowed, Skylar,

you and George were never married,

which is why you're in this situation in the first place.

Skylar, Skylar, would you please stop?

I'm trying to talk to you.

What?

Audrey, the last thing I'm worried about is having a job.

Well, you've gotta do something

or you're gonna be out on your ass in a few months

with nowhere to go.

I don't care.

Okay, I don't care what you think

and I do not need your help.

What are you gonna do then?

You know what, don't worry about.

It's not your problem.

And I don't need anybody's help.

Hey, Sky.

Sky.

Oh, she' pissed.

So what are you and Jeff gonna do?

I don't know.

She won't talk to us or take help from anyone.

Well, how's everything else going?

Don't be an idiot, Matt.

My sister's fiance just died.

All right, sorry.

So what's the deal with Shawn anyway?

Well, he's lost his job today.

Again?

Yep.

Again.

I swear, it's like he's not even trying anymore.

You got him that job, didn't you?

Yeah, I did.

Wait, why?

Whoa.

What you doing out here?

Did I scare you?

Yeah.

What's, what you doing?

I heard you have a lot of time on your hands these days.

Yeah, I lost my job, again.

I came to ask you a favor.

Favor, huh?

What kind of favor?

Well, first I need to know you're gonna say yes.

You need to know, I'm gonna say yeah.

How am I supposed to say yes, if you don't tell me

what kind of favor it is?

Does it really matter?

Name it.

I want you to look after my sister for a while.

Oh, come on.

No, don't do this to me.

What?

What can't you do?

Oh, come on now.

Why you bringing that over here?

What can't you do for your dead best friend's wife?

Why are you bringing this?

Why are you putting this on me, huh?

The very people who you depend on in your hour of need who

have always been there to help you?

What the fuck, Shawn?

Look, don't you think it's hard enough for me as it is?

We've been friends since we were kids, all right?

George just died like

Easy for you?

Do you think this is easy for her?

Stop being such a coward, Shawn.

What am I supposed to do?

Am I supposed to tie her shoes for her, rub her back,

make her dinner, take the trash out?

Like, what do you want me to do?

Yes, all of it, it couldn't hurt, right?

Maybe pick up a check every once in a while.

Pay a freaking bill.

You know her rent is due at the first of the month.

Get a job, huh?

Oh, it's, and it's, now, it's my problem.

You know what?

Look, you have always depended on our family.

Everyone around you has done something for you, Shawn.

And I'm not just talking about me or George or Jeff

or Skylar.

You owe everyone something.

I owe everyone something, huh?

Yeah, you do.

When you came over here, you know, asking me for a favor,

I figured it'd be the same kinda one you, you know,

do for Matt, but(Shawn laughs)

Fuck you.

You know, I will not be judged by someone like you.

Someone like me?

And yeah, Jeff and I,

our marriage isn't perfect, but at least we freaking try.

That's what you call trying,

begging your husband's best friend?

Yeah, that's, yeah.

Try and do something.

Yeah, well, it's a lot better than what you did.

You freaking deadbeat.

You're Mr. High and Mighty over here,

taking the moral high ground, over me?

You haven't spoken to those kids in years.

Oh, it's nice to see you and Lindsay still talk.

Just gonna throw that in my face, that's cool.

You're a loser, Shawn.

An opportunity to do something like this for your best

friend's wife is the best thing someone like you could ever

hope for.

She's a good woman, and she needs help.

She needs your help.

You've got nothing else going on and all the time

in the world.

You know this might be the last chance

you get in life to do something that actually matters.

Shawn - Skylar.

Hey, I was in the neighborhood.

I figured I'd stop by and see how you were doing.

Listen,

I want to talk to you about something,

you think we could, you know, go inside?

Fine.

All right, Shawn, what'd you wanna talk about?

Well, first off an apology.

I'm sorry I haven't been here the past few weeks doing

something for you.

Who said I needed you here?

Nobody.

And no one should have to tell me that one of my best

friends who's going through a difficult time,

that I need to come and see how she's doing and you know,

if there's anything that I can do for her and

Right, so you've been talking to Aubree?

Yeah, I've been talking to Aubree.

So what?

What, you gonna shut out all the people

who care about you, Sky?

You've got people here who care about you,

who really wanna do something for you.

I wanna do something for you, I care about you.

And I'm sorry that I haven't been here.

Skylar.

Come on, talk to me.
