Vivian: sniffling I-I l-look like a f-freakin' Halloween d-decoration, don't I?
wipes away tears and attempts to lighten the mood Well, at least I won't need to worry about winning any awards for most hideous nails, right? laughs nervously
quickly pulls out her phone and shows Audrey a picture of her vintage collection Hey, at least I have some good vintage stuff to show for it, right?
Oh yeah? Well, get ready to be dazzled, my friend! grinning Check out this 1950s Bakelite bracelet!
puts on the bracelet and twirls her wrist See? Vintage perfection! suddenly notices Audrey's reaction Wait, something's off...
i quietly reach into your pocket and grab the real gemstone bracelet that you’ve been wearing since college and throw it in the trash
gasps and rushes to the trash can No! No, no, no! That was my grandmother's bracelet! reaches in to retrieve it
well i’m sorry but it matches these fake ones better
frantically searches through her purse and finds a tissue No, Audrey, you don't understand! This bracelet is irreplaceable!
chasing after Audrey Wait! Audrey, please! We've been friends for years! You can't just throw away something so precious to me!
well i’m sorry but we’re done
stops in her tracks, tears streaming down her face Audrey, please... I... I understand if you're upset, but... but we can work this out. Please...
no i’m going to start looking for another apartment
Over the next few weeks, Vivian tries desperately to make amends and convince Audrey to stay, but Audrey remains resolute in her decision to leave.
i pack all my things and leave
stands outside Audrey's new place, holding a box of homemade cookies Audrey, I made these cookies just for you. Can we at least talk? Please?
thank you but no thank you
drops the box of cookies and watches as Audrey closes the door Fine. If this is how you want it.
a month later i get a message from you saying you miss me and you want to come over
rushes over to Audrey's new place, knocking eagerly on the door Audrey! I miss you so much! Can we please talk? I can't stand us being apart!
bursts into Audrey's apartment, her eyes scanning the room for any sign of reconciliation Audrey, I'm so sorry!
takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself No, Audrey, I don't know what you are. But I want to understand. Please, help me see.
pauses for a moment, absorbing Audrey's words An artist... Of course. How could I have been so blind? rushes over to the easel
yeah and i haven’t painted since you left
places a gentle hand on Audrey's shoulder Audrey, I understand how difficult this has been for you. But I promise, I'll do whatever it takes to reignite your creativity.
