MARY JANE: (to herself) This isn’t a big deal. I’ll just shoot him a text. (texting) “Are you in town?”
She waits for a torturous beat or two. Blessedly, her text is returned.
MARY JANE: (relieved, to herself) ...Oh. There he is. (texting) “I’ll be in the alley behind Connecticut Muffin.”
Another beat as she reads the response.
MARY JANE: (relieved) He’s coming. I’ll get just enough. (cheerful) I’m tapering. A little less every day.
We hear the opening of “SMILING.” Throughout the song, we move backwards through time, re-tracing Mary Jane’s morning.
