Ruthless

Pt. 4

Olivia: "Come on. It could be fun." she tries, nudging Elizabeth who lays on the couch

Elizabeth: "Oh yeah. Overpriced snacks, broken down rides, and rigged games. Sounds like paradise." she sarcastically says, flicking through the channels, making Olivia sigh

Olivia: "Please. You need some fresh air. It'll be good for you and the baby."

Elizabeth: "Fine" she sighs, tossing the remote down "If it'll get you to leave me alone. I'll go." she stands up, heading to her room to change

Elliot: "Hey." he calls out, gaining the girls attention

Elizabeth: "You didn't say we'd be having company." she says as they head over to where Elliot is heading their way with his daughter

Olivia: "Be nice" she squeezes her shoulder, smiling at Elliot and Maureen "Hey."

Elliot: "Hey. Elizabeth, this is my daughter Maureen. Maureen, this is Elizabeth."

Elizabeth: "Hi." she waves a little, giving a tight smile

Maureen: "Nice to meet you" she smiles as Elizabeth nods "I'm-I'm sorry about what happened to you."

Elizabeth: "Yeah well don't be. According to society's standards I got exactly what I deserved." she sarcastically smiles, walking off as Olivia sighs

Elliot: "Liv, I'm sorry."

Olivia: "No, it's okay. I'll catch up in a minute" she waves him off, following after Elizabeth "Liz."

Elizabeth: "Don't." she shakes her head with a scoff

Olivia: "I'm sure Elliot didn't mean any harm. He probably just wanted to caution Maureen."

Elizabeth: "Yeah him and every other parent who knows my name" she turns around to face her "Hey. About they hang a giant sign with my face on it saying "Don't be like stupid"."

Olivia: "You're not stupid."

Elizabeth: "Right" she scoffs "So far in my school they've had 5 assemblies all about the dangers of underage and irresponsible drinking. Guess who they use as the selling point." she shakes her head, starting to walk off again

Olivia: "Liz."

Elizabeth: "You know what, Olivia. You wanted me out the house. I'm out. You didn't say we had to be joined at the hip. Just leave me alone." she hurries across the street, walking off as Olivia sighs

Munch: "How's Elizabeth doing?"

Olivia: "Uh, she's getting there" she sighs "She goes to see Dr. Finn every week but other than that and her doctor's appointments she doesn't leave the house anymore. Won't talk to me anymore."

Munch: "When's her next appointment?"

Olivia: "Tomorrow."

Munch: "Why don't I take her. A friendly face might do her some good."

Olivia: "Thanks, John."

Munch: "No problem."

•••

Elizabeth: "What are you doing here?" she opens the door to see Munch standing in the doorway

Munch: "Olivia had some things to take care of. Offered to drive you to your appointment."

Elizabeth: "I could take a cab."

Munch: "You've got a little one coming. You need to save every single penny. Trust me, out of all the living beings on the planet, they are the most expensive."
