You suck.

LIAM

Enough. Lay off him.

DAPHNA

Lay off him? Really Liam? What are you now, brother of the year? Amazing brother, amazing grandson, ama— you want Poppy’s chai so much, you love Poppy so much, where have you been? Jonah’s been here, I’ve been here, we made it to the funeral. You couldn’t even be bothered to call. I made it down three weeks ago when he went into the hospital. Did you? Did you? And do not pull rights of the first born bullshit with me— We live in a modern world that shit is dead that shit is— because if there were rights of the firstborn here, it would go to my Dad, MY Dad, cause he’s the oldest male heir. Not you. Not you. You don’t get to take whatever you want without—

LIAM

He gave it to me, no one took anything, he gave—

DAPHNA

Your Mom took something and didn’t tell anyone. Which is called stealing, Liam, stealing.

LIAM

Poppy always said I could have it.

DAPHNA

Does it say that in the will?

Yeah, I didn’t think so.

So what, did Aunt Fanny rip it off his neck while he was—

LIAM

Jesus! No one ripped anything, ok? He gave it to her. She asked him for it, I asked him for it, and he gave it to her, and she sent it to me.

DAPHNA

You’ve been in Aspen, were you even there to get it? Or is Poppy’s chai in your lobby just like on the floor—

LIAM

I got it before my trip. Chill out.

DAPHNA

Why’d you have to have it before he died? Why couldn’t you have waited—

MELODY

Oh my god.

MELODY is very, very emotional. Maybe shaking.

Oh my god.

LIAM looks at MELODY. MELODY looks at LIAM. They know. DAPHNA looks at JONAH. He knows. It takes her a Moment, but DAPHNA figures it out. She is the last to know.

DAPHNA

No …

MELODY

Oh my god.

DAPHNA

Oh my god.

LIAM

I wanted to tell you the story myself. I wanted you to hear it from me.

DAPHNA

No fucking way.

MELODY

In Aspen?

LIAM

Yes.

MELODY

How long were you planning this?

LIAM

For a while. Since December. Since November. Since I first met you.

DAPHNA

Am I the only one who feels like the walls are caving in?

MELODY

I can’t believe—

DAPHNA

You were going to put our grandfather’s chai around her?

MELODY

I can’t believe …

DAPHNA

Is this like, symbolic? Did you have a ring? Tell me you have a ring. Or were you planning to give it to her?

Beat.

You were gonna fucking give Poppy’s chai to this fucking piece of music?

LIAM

I love you.

MELODY

Baby.

DAPHNA

Hold the horses. What the FUCK?!? You can’t— Jonah! You can’t— You wanna talk about dead bodies? Over my dead body is she gonna sport my dead grandfather’s Holocaust Hebrew chai around her Christian cunt neck.
