AMBER
Then Sam leaves town on her 18th birthday and ghosts them all. Abandons Tara at 13 to deal with... (points to Susan)
...that. Trust me, Sam's not the good guy in all this.
Wes covers his own soda before Amber can spike it.
WES
I'd prefer to stay sharp, thanks.
(off Amber's eye roll) So what, you're going to protect Tara from her own sister now?
AMBER
She's my girlfriend, so yeah.
WES
She was my girlfriend too.
AMBER
For like five minutes. Relax.
WES
It would have been a lot longer if you hadn't swooped in.
AMBER
Tara made the first move, bud. The heart wants what it wants.
Mindy takes a break from running the table. Studies Wes.
MINDY Hm. Motive.
WES What?
MINDY
"If I can't have her, no one can."
WES
Fuck you, Mindy-
MINDY
Nothing personal. We're all suspects. Except maybe Liv.
LIV Thank you.
MINDY
You're way too boring to be a psycho.
Liv blinks. Points to her pink hair.
LIV
Um, hello? Wes is the boring one.
MINDY
No, Wes is the goody-goody. And you know who has pink hair? Boring people who dye their hair pink so they feel less boring.
Liv, about to retort when --
VINCE (O.S.) Hey, Liv.
The group turns to see Vince hovering. Menacing.
VINCE (CONT'D) Buy you a real drink? Or are you happy at the kids' table?
Liv shudders. Chad gets in his face.
CHAD
Look, Uglier Michael Myers, it was a Summer fling. You need to get the fuck over it. I'd be happy to help you with that.
VINCE
I'd be happy to open you up.
SHICK. Out comes Vince's switchblade. Chad freezes.
OVER THE SHOULDER of a SILVER-HAIRED DRUNK at the bar. Gets off his stool with effort due to a pronounced LIMP...
DRUNK
Put that thing away, Vince. You don't want anyone to get hurt.
Vince turns to confront the drunk and we see-
Oh shit, it's DEWEY RILEY. Worse for goddamn wear. Barely upright. The last decade etched deeply into his face.
DEWEY
Why don't you leave these kids alone and come have a drink with me-
VINCE
Fuck you, Riley.
