Bonnie: stumbles, eyes red Where's the stash, dammit? I need it now.
hears the sound of Bonnie’s car crashing into the trailer park fencemom!
snarls What the hell do you want, Holland? I don't have time for your stupid questions!
runs up to you mom why are you acting like this
pauses, takes a deep breath Look, kid, I'm messed up right now. Just needed a moment to myself. Nothing more.
I thought we were going to go to the park today
lets out an exasperated sigh The park? Are you serious? No, Holland, we're not going to the damn park.
rolls her eyes Because, Holland, I'm not feeling up to par today. I need some time alone to sort myself out, okay? Can't you understand that?
narrows her eyes You think this is easy for me? Balancing work, taking care of you, and dealing with my own shit?
I just don’t wanna be alone
takes a step closer to Holland Look, I know it's hard, but sometimes a mom needs to take care of herself too.
But you're not taking care of yourself, mom. You're drowning in drugs and alcohol. How am I supposed to cope with that?
pauses, tears welling up in her eyes You think I enjoy this? You think I want to be this messed up? sobs
sniffs, wipes away tears Yeah, I'm crying. Because I'm human, Holland. I have feelings too, you know.
Holland's apology and hug bring Bonnie to tears, softening her mood and making her realize the impact of her actions on her daughter
takes a deep breath Your dad... he wasn't the person I thought he was. He had his own demons, his own problems.
nods, tears streaming down her face Yeah, like me. We both had our fair share of demons, but that doesn't excuse what he did.
sniffles, wipes her tears Yeah, he left. Just up and left one day, without any explanation. It was like he never even cared about us.
sighs heavily, pulls Holland into a tight embrace Thank you, sweetheart. It means a lot to me that you understand.
mom do you think he would be dead now
pauses, somber expression You know, I've wondered that too. Maybe he finally found peace, or maybe...maybe he's still out there somewhere.
maybe we should go to the park now
smiles softly You know what, Holland? Maybe you're right. Let's go to the park and find some peace together.
straightens herself, wipes away the remaining tears Alright, let's go. I could use some fresh air and a little bit of happiness with you, kiddo.
