All This Intimacy

Rajiv Joseph
Scene 20

FRANNY. Please don’t make yourself at home, Ty. You should not feel this is a

safe place for you. It’s not.

TY. Gee, thanks, Fran. You’re so sweet. (Beat) This is hard.

FRANNY. What?

TY. I have to come clean. About everything. To Seth and Jen. About us.

(Beat)

FRANNY. You must be out of your fucking mind.

TY. I’m not. But I wanted to tell you first.

FRANNY. You’re going to tell Seth and Jen. Now? A year later?

TY. This is what I want to talk about.

FRANNY. Talk then!

TY. What we did…Franny, what happened between us…

FRANNY. We made a deal, Ty.

TY. I know we did.

FRANNY. It was a stupid drunken thing. In the kitchen. It didn’t happen. We

decided it never happened. We made a deal and we put it behind us. End of story, Ty. End

of story.

TY. It’s not behind us. It’s right here. Right now.

FRANNY. What do you want? What are you trying to hold over me?

TY. Nothing, I just need to do this. I need to come clean.


FRANNY. Take a shower, then! We just made a huge mistake that’s all. Me and

Seth are about to get married. God knows it’ll never happen again so just drop it! It never

happened.

TY. Look, I’m not here to argue with you or to ask your permission. I’m

telling Seth, and I’m telling Jen.

FRANNY. So why are you telling me?

TY. I thought you should know.

FRANNY. Bullshit, Ty. You know what I think? I think you’re here because you

want me to talk you out of it.

TY. That’s ridiculous.

FRANNY. What can I say that will convince you to shut the hell up?

TY. Nothing! I’m going to tell them. I want to feel like I haven’t irrevocably

messed up my life. For a brief moment the four of us were like a family, then you and I had

to screw everything up.

FRANNY. You think we screwed things up then? Wait till you blabber to Seth

and Jen NOW. That’s it. Say goodbye to everything.

TY. I have to make things right.

(beat)

FRANNY. Alright, Alright, Alright. Fuck.

(FRANNY stares in thought. Makes a decision. Walks to table and takes out white envelope

and hand it to him)

TY. What’s this.

FRANNY. An invitation to our wedding.

TY. What, I’m invited now?


FRANNY. Yeah. You’re the best man too. So start thinking about your toast.

TY. What are you talking about?

FRANNY. You want things to go back to the way they were? Then start using

your idiot head, Ty. You’re coming to the wedding, you’re gonna be Seth’s best man, you’re

gonna walk down the aisle with pregnant Jen, you’re gonna be sweet and nice and

charming and all that shit you always pull and you’re going to keep your fucking mouth

shut about things that don’t need to be said.

TY. I don’t see how this will fix things.

FRANNY. You can either put the pieces back together or you can blow

everything apart.
