Reba:
You can't be afraid of ghosts! You're brave! I've seen you eat raisenet off the sidewalk!

Barbra Jean:
It was a Junior Mint and I caught it before it hit the ground! Besides what do you know about fear Miss I'm-Not-Afraid-Of-Anything?

Reba:
Why does everybody say that I'm not afraid of anything?

Barbra Jean:
Because you're not. You're not afraid of the dark or thunder or wearin' pink with red hair. Which is not wise but you do it. You're fearless Reba!

Reba:
It's not that I'm fearless, it's just that I think believing in ghosts is silly!

Barbra Jean:
Well, you wouldn't think it was so silly if the ghost was after you!

Reba:
What are you talking about?

Barbra Jean:
If I tell you,you're just gonna make fun of me.

Reba:
Barbra Jean I'm already makin' fun of you.

Barbra Jean:
Alright if you must know the ghost is after me because I'm a bad person.

Reba:
What?

Barbra Jean:
I stole your husband, I broke up your family and now I have a way better house than you do!

Reba:
So the reason you're afraid of ghosts is because you think they're gonna punish you for what you did?

Barbra Jean:
Yeah.

Reba:
Oh Barbra Jean, if anybody's gonna punish you it's me! And I promise you, when I die I will haunt you! Every noise you hear, everytime you trip, every bad hair day it'll be me!

Barbra Jean:
Oh Reba, don't try to make me feel better! It just makes it worse because this horrible thing that I've done that I can't undo [starts to cry] I did to my very best friend!

Reba:
Barbra Jean, we're not best friends. [pause] Barbra Jean things happen for a reason. Like maybe you're in my life because [pauses and tries to think of a reason Barbra Jean is in her life]

Barbra Jean:
Reba? [Reba puts up her hand to quiet Barbra Jean while she tries to think]

Reba:
[Thinks of something] I needed someone to ruin everything for me.

Barbra Jean:
Well, yeah, I can see how that was helpful.

Reba:
No, no, no, you know what maybe it was! I lived through my biggest fears. My husband left, Kyra moved out and things seemed to be just fallin' apart! You know, nothing gets scarier than that! But because of you I know that I can deal with anything now.

Barbra Jean:
Wow [Touches Reba's knee] I wish I had the kind of courage brought on by a deep personal tragedy.

Reba:
Well you married Brock, that's a start! [Removes Barbra Jean's hand]
