STAN;
Chris, I need you.

EVANS;
What's wrong?
Is it an emergency?

STAN;
Not really.
I need to rant to someone other than my little sister, and I can't message Harper.

EVANS;
You should talk to her.
Anyway, go ahead.
We're still friends.

STAN;
That f*cking article e!news wrote.
My problems are not for hollywood to glorify and get f*cking entertainment from.
Whatever the hell me and Harper are doing is none of their f*cking business. I just miss her and I'm cranky because I miss her. It just seems that she doesn't want me like everyone says. And it hurts, a lot.

EVANS;
Trust me, she does.
You know Harper, she likes to battle her brain and her heart. We both do it.

STAN;
That's why she's your best friend.
Harper understands you.

EVANS;
You know, she misses you.
Like a lot. You both look like sh*t.

STAN;
Yeah, Robert said the same thing about me.

EVANS;
It's true.
We all see how this affecting you both.
And I'm sorry that I haven't had the chance to check up on you like I've been meaning too. Harper's pretty beaten up over everything.

STAN;
God, I feel like sh*t.
You ever loved a woman so much that literally pains you to see her in pain?

EVANS;
Yeah, I can imagine it.
Talk to her, Sebastian.
End the pain for both of you.

STAN;
I will.
Right now.

EVANS;
That's my man! 😊 go get your girl.
Then I'll figure if I have the balls to tell the woman I love.

STAN;
Excuse me?
