WOMAN: Where's Liddy? LAYLA: What?

She's smoking pot again? - Nobody transfers

- When should you give up on someone?

- Well, there's a difference between giving up

and letting go.

- What's the difference?

- Anger means giving up

and love is letting go.

This is about Liddy?

- She barely says three words to me anymore.

It's like the old Liddy is back.

All through middle school, elementary school,

she had to live with that drunk of a dad.

She'd wake and bake just to deal.

and everything was good,

like, really good.

She stopped getting stoned.

It was great.

- And did she have support for this

or go to meetings?

- No.

She just quit.

It's not like she was an addict

or anything.

She was just in a bad situation.

Well, what if she is an addict at her core

and the stopping wasn't real?

This--this is terrible timing for me.

- And terrible for Liddy.

Until she drags me down with her

Everyone thinks that this band thing

is a phase for me, but it's not.

It's mine. I built it.

I'm not gonna go through this again with her.

I'm not.

- Can I make a suggestion?

Don't give up until the anger's gone

and then you can let go.

Careful with that.

- So you were on the stage when the shooting happened?
