Now you say you’re lonely
You cried the whole night through
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
Now you say you’re sorry
For being so untrue
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
You drove me,
Nearly drove me out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember?
I remember all that you said
Told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me and
Now you say you love me
Well, just to prove you do
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
You drove me
Nearly drove me out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember?
I remember all that you said
Told me love was to plebeian
Told me you were through with me…
And now you say you love me
Well, just to prove that you do…
Come on! come on!
Cry me a river…
Cry me a river…
I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you…

Amber: Now we've heard everything that there is. But I don't want you to make a decision quickly. This is a difficult decision that we all have to reach, where we have to look deep inside ourselves and think about what is best for the tribe. I want you all to go away and spend some time thinking before you come back with your decision.

Amber: I hope that once this is all over, that we'll be able to go back to normal.
(Bray sighs)
Bray: Normal. What's that? I don't think I ever remember a time where Ebony wasn't plotting something or another. Where she wasn't always some influence on our lives, in one way or another.
Amber: You think that the tribe will vote her out then?
Bray: I think its highly probable. But I've never been one to predict things. Not where the Mallrats are concerned.

(Phoenix and Gel finally catch up)
Phoenix: (Nods) By the looks of things, some of the Mallrats wanted Ebony out a long time ago
Dreamer: (Looks up) But I should of stuck up for her, I should of done something
Gel: (Shakes her head) There is nothing you could of done Dreamer, there are just some people to far gone to help!
Dreamer: She was my best friend...I could of tried
Apollo: No...she had no right in asking you to do anything in the first place, it was a trial and she came out worse at the end...if if you did do something the rest of the tribe voted her out.

(Alice sighs as she looks up at the sky, still recovering from the quick run as he hand moves to her pregnant bump and she looks over at Tully for the first time.)

Zandra: But its done with now. It's a chapter of my life that's closed.

(Amber and Lex look at each other as Amber nods.)

Scene 25
[Camera fades in from black to show Ebony walking away from the airport, she takes one final look at the building before shaking her head]
Sometimes I wonder
Where I've been
Who I am, do I fit in?
Make-believing is hard alone
Out here, on my own
(Camera pans out as we watch Ebony walking through the streets of the city)
We're always proving
Who we are
Always reaching
For that rising star
To guide me far
And shine me home
Out here on my own
When I'm down and feeling blue
I close my eyes so I can be with you
Oh, baby, be strong for me
Baby, belong to me
Help me through
Help me need you
(Flame starts to cry and Ebony stops in her tracks to calm the small boy down while tears of her own fall from her eyes)
Until the morning sun appears
Making light of all my fears
I dry the tears I've never shown
out here on my own
But when I'm down and feeling blue
I close my eyes so I can be with you
Oh, baby, be strong for me
Baby, belong to me
Help me through
Help me need you
(Ebony finds herself at the harbour and spots a small fishing boat being loaded up. A smile spreads across her face as she walks over to the boat and starts talking to the men who own the boat)
Sometimes I wonder
Where I've been
Who I am, do I fit in?
I may not win
But I can't be thrown
Out here on my own
On my own
[Camera fades out before cutting to black]
