Lights come back on and they're in a artsy bedroom, Phil and Jolene are on a bed, Jolene laying her head on Phil's lap and crying.
Phil: It's okay...
Jolene: I feel so pathetic.
Phil: No (Beat) Jo, you're not pathetic.
Jolene: (Yelling) Then I'm fucking ugly, why else would he break up with me?
Phil: What about you is ugly?
Jolene: (Beat) My skin. My hair. My face. My body.
Jolene suddenly sits up
Jolene: Fuck, how could I be so stupid
Phil: What?
Jolene: I...uh...
Jolene fidgets nervously, sliding off the bed, while Phil watches.
Phil: Jolene (Beat) What. Did. You. Do?
Jolene: (Says nothing)
Phil: Wait a minute (Beat) Your stockings changed
Jolene: What about my stockings?
Phil: They were flesh colored, now they're blue
Jolene: S-So?
Phil and Jolene are silent.
He stares at her and she avoids making eye contact, fidgeting with her hair.
Music intensifies.
Phil: Jolene Malai...
Jolene: I (Beat) lost my virginity to him
Phil: So that's why you changed your stockings. Also (Casually pulls a loaded Colt .45 from under bed) did he point a weapon at you?
Jolene: What?! No!
Phil: Did he pressure you in anyway?
Jolene: No, Phil he didn't.
Phil: Did he do anything that you didn't want?
Jolene: For fucks sake Phil, no! Put the damn gun away.
Phil reluctantly puts his gun away and lights go out.
