On The Wagon

Hallway. Rayanne asks "Darling" Rickie Vasquez, "So where's Angela?" Rickie pointedly ignores the question in favor of reading aloud from one of the pamphlets Mrs. K gave to Rayanne, "Whatever you do, don't take the first drink." Rayanne gets off a line about "AA propaganda," and Rickie says that he thought Rayanne liked Mrs. K: "You said she was sensitive." "Sensitive wears thin," Rayanne intones gravely. Rickie hands her the pamphlet, and she waves him off with, "Keep it, I don't need it," and sighs, "So, she's with Catalano again, huh?" "Well, it is, like, the weirdest break-up in history," Rickie reminds her. "She's the one who needs a shrink," Rayanne cracks, feeding Rickie a piece of candy.

Under the bleachers, Jordan narrates the events of band practice the previous evening: "So he just said, 'This isn't working for me,' then he threw his mic into Joey's bass drum, and then he...left." Angela, hanging precariously from his every word, says all over-involved, "So he quit, Tino quit Frozen Embryos?" Shot of Rayanne, crossing the yard and looking for Angela, then smiling happily when she spots her. Jordan smoothes a lock of lank hair away from his face and says he doesn't think they can call the band Frozen Embryos anymore, "'cause it was Tino's name," and now it's "like, off-limits or something." He takes a drag of his cigarette. "I'm really sorry," Angela says, stroking his arm. Another shot of Rayanne, shifting from foot to foot at the edge of the bleachers and waiting for Angela to notice her. AVO: "I'm just really, like, low. I'll just find any excuse...to touch him." Again, Sars VO has so been there. Rayanne swings herself under the bleachers and hops up and down next to Jordan, apparently to announce herself; Angela, who up to this point seems to have studiously avoided looking directly at Rayanne, arranges her face into a smile. Rayanne asks if she's interrupting, and as Jordan prepares to drift away, Angela falsely tells Rayanne, "No. Hi!" and then tells Jordan, "No -- you don't have to --" "Whatever. Later," Jordan grunts; the spell is broken, so he walks away.
