( NAYELI looks at him . She starts to speak but then catches herself . She then takes a deep breath .)
What do you want from me ?
Nothing . I just wanted to see you .
NAYELI
DALE
GRACIE Okay . You ’ ve done that . You can go now .
( DALE looks to NAYELI . She looks away . DALE makes his way toward the exit .)
NAYELI I wrote you once . When I was ten . You never wrote me back . How come ?
I don ’ t know .
( disgusted ) Great answer , Dale .
DALE
GRACIE
DALE ( DALE turns back .) I was in a really bad place for a long time .
That ’ s your excuse ?
GRACIE
DALE You wouldn ’ t have wanted to know me . But I — Your mom sent me a picture of you and I got this made . ( He rolls up his sleeve and reveals a tattoo of a baby ’ s face .)
