DAPHNA doesn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
DAPHNA
Well I guess we have some things to discuss then.
LIAM
Nope.
DAPHNA
Yeah, we have to figure this out—
LIAM
There’s nothing to figure out.
DAPHNA
Well I want Poppy’s chai but I’m obviously not going to murder you for it. I hope that’s obvious. So that means we need to work this out like—
LIAM
There’s nothing to work out because I have it, ok?
DAPHNA
You have it?
LIAM
I have it.
DAPHNA
How’d you get it?
LIAM
Poppy gave it to me.
DAPHNA
You’re lying. You’re lying. My Mom saw it around his neck a week ago in the hospital. He still had it a week ago.
LIAM
What, did you send your Mom in to spy on Poppy?
DAPHNA
No but I asked her to check and see—
LIAM
Oh my god—
DAPHNA
if he still had it on when she came up to visit him a week ago and he did.
LIAM
Holy shit.
DAPHNA
So if you have it how did you … how could you? You couldn’t. Your Mom even said— What, did she just give it to you now when you stopped in the apartment tonight?
LIAM
Nope.
DAPHNA
But you haven’t been home since last— you were skiing in Vail. Your Mom was with him more than anyone, she’s been there every day, you’ve been in Chicago, so the only way it could have even gotten to you is if your Mom …
Holy shit.
Holy fucking …
She didn’t …
She mailed it to you?
She mailed it to you?
LIAM
She didn’t mail it. She fed-exed it.
DAPHNA
Fed-ex?!? What’s the difference?
LIAM
You can track the package.
DAPHNA
I don’t believe you. I don’t believe you. I don’t—
LIAM
Stop, I was always getting it, you know that.
DAPHNA
What??
LIAM
Poppy always said I could have it—
DAPHNA
Poppy never said anyone—
LIAM
And I’m the oldest grandson. It was never up—
DAPHNA
The oldest grandson?
LIAM
And plus, you got Grandma’s necklace.
DAPHNA
Grandma’s necklace? Grandma was a bitch!
LIAM
And you got her necklace.
DAPHNA
You want her necklace? You can have it. No one wanted any of her shit no one liked her.
LIAM
She had nice stuff—
DAPHNA
Poppy never specified who could have the chai, all he ever said was, this is for the grandchildren, he never—
JONAH
Daphna. He has it.
DAPHNA
But—
JONAH
He has it.
DAPHNA
But … Jonah? Then why didn’t you say something?
JONAH
I don’t—
DAPHNA
When I brought it up, why didn’t you say something?
JONAH
I told you I don’t want to … be involved, in … this.
DAPHNA
No when I asked you if you thought Liam would be cool with me having it, why didn’t you tell me he already did?
JONAH says nothing.
That is maybe the shittiest thing anyone has ever done to me. And I thought we were …
