All right, come on.
Excuse us.
We have more news on that blaze at compton chemical which broke out just past 10 P.
M.
There's no indication what started the fire, but we have learned that some 3 dozen workers are injured and at least 10 people have been killed.
A spokesman for the fire department tells me they hope to have the fire contained in the next few hours.
In the meantime, they are asking people to avoid the east side of town I'm sorry I haven't really been there for you.
It's ok.
I'm fine, really.
I'm ok.
Remember when you used to cry whenever my mother would pick me up from your place? Yeah.
I was 4 years old.
Yeah, well, that's what I'm saying.
We've been friends for a long time.
AndI know we've drifted apart.
But I love you.
You're like a sister to me.
And I promise I'm gonna try and-- chrissy you are the only real friend left in my life.
Don't say that.
No, it's true.
I mean, look around.
Do you really think I fit in with that crowd in there? Who cares if you don't fit in? I've never fit in anywhere.
Those girls in there are wearing masks.
They don't even know who they are.
You do.
You're unique.
You're special.
But guys are attracted to women like that-- I don't know, women who don't really have any real feelings that might complicate a relationship and that somehow can always smile, regardless of what is tearing them up inside.
What are you saying? I don't know.
I'm just saying that you're the only person that really likes me for me.
And I cannot even tell you how much I love you for that.
I'm sure I'm not the only person here that likes you.
I'm gonna go find james.
The exposure to the ash is hazardous and Testing.
James helen, it's-- what is going on? Helen, is that you? What? James, I can't hear you.
I can't make outwhat you're saying.
Chrissy told me to come.
I'm coming to visit.
Helen, if you can hear me, don't go any where near them.
James, what? You have to stay Inside your apartment.
James, I can't hear you.
