SKI: Paper or plastic?
CUSTOMER: Paper
[ Ski rolls eyes & starts bagging. ]
MONICA: How are you today?
CUSTOMER: I'm fine…how are you?
MONICA: I'm OK, do you have any coupons?
[ Ski looks & sees Hithe coming from the manager's office and starts to stare.
Hithe notices Kristen at the floral display & goes to her smiling. ]
HITHE: Hey, how are things going over here?
KRISTYN: Fine…Just getting this organized a little
HITHE: That's good, but I think you're killing our flowers
KRISTYN: Yeah? Well back off you might be next.
[ Amber enters the store & passes by them. ]
MONICA: Someone's excited this morning.
SKI: Who is? I don't see it.
MONICA: [coughs] Speaking of.
[ Ski immediately turns his head as Hithe comes over to them. ]
HITHE: Hey Monica…Ski [smiles]
[ Monica smiles back, but Ski doesn't look. ]
HITHE: Ski, will you go get some carts?
SKI: Sure.
[Ski leaves and passes by Mark]
AMBER: Hey Hithe
HITHE: Hi
AMBER: How are you?
HITHE: Just great. . .[walks off]
HITHE: Kristyn you can take a break
KRISTYN: OK
[ She doesn't look at him, but he walks off still looking at her. ]
[ Ski comes back from outside and goes up to Amber .]
SKI: Hey, what's going on?
AMBER: Nothing…this place is so boring
SKI: Yes yes I know,
But what's Hithe's deal? I mean, let us in on the joke.
AMBER: Who knows? But I hope his face gets stuck.
[ Hithe walks by just as they stop laughing and he heads toward the back. ]
MONICA: Damn! [speaks louder] There's other people here besides Kristyn!
SKI: Right, well you know Hithe...he's here to please
MONICA: Oh, is that what he calls it?
SKI: What do you mean?
MONICA: The side conversations, inappropriate glances.
I've seen it all.
SKI: Maybe you're just looking for some drama
. . . It's not exactly a soap opera in here!
[ Ski smirks at her, & walks away/Monica looks surprised. ]
[ In the break room, Kristyn is waiting on the microwave. ]
[walks in] HITHE: Hey!
[turns around] KRISTYN: Wow, you really shouldn't sneak up on people like that
HITHE: Oh really?
KRISTYN: Yeah, this is a microwave…it makes things hot.
Would you like to test it?
[ Walks up in front of the table as she sits. ]
HITHE: No, no thanks.
So, what's this you're eating…spaghetti o's?
KRISTYN: Not hardly
HITHE: Yeah, OK…well it looks good
KRISTYN: I know, my husband made it for me
[leans over her] HITHE: Ah, I see…
[She looks up, catching his glance…]
HITHE: I'll leave you to it then [smiles + exits]
[ Back up front, following Hithe. ]
HITHE: OK, Monica & Ski you can take a break…
[ Walks off & starts talking to Mark. ]
MONICA: Finally!
SKI: Yeah, I know! [They walk off together]
[ Mark starts walking towards them, then turns around. ]
[ Amber's standing by self-checkout lanes & Hithe walks up. ]
AMBER: So Hithe, what are you doing this weekend?
HITHE: Uh, I don't know yet…
AMBER: Well, we should do something…
HITHE: Yeah, maybe… [walks off again]
SKI: What was that about?
AMBER: He's being so different today…
SKI: Yeah, he's acting really weird
AMBER: Like he's distracted by something
SKI: [thinking]…Or someone
[ Both look & see Kristyn with Hithe not far behind…]
KRISTYN: …what?
HITHE: Nothing, just looking
KRISTYN: Looking at what?
HITHE: The flowers, it's seems they've been revived
KRISTYN: You're so full of it, go away! [smiles]
[ Hithe picks one & puts it up to his nose. ]
[walks by] MONICA: See, what did I tell you? [to Ski]
AMBER: What?
SKI: Don't ask me! [walks away]
[ Kristyn puts the flower back & Hithe walks off. ]
[ Kristyn's seen leaving, Hithe's walking with her. ]
[sighs] AMBER: Now that she's gone…
[walks up] HITHE: What?
AMBER: Nothing…hey you
[comes over] SKI: Wow! Look who finally decided to grace us
with their presence…
HITHE: Well, you know how it is…
I get busy with all my manager responsibilities
AMBER: [coughs] Bullshit!
[ignores her] HITHE: Anyway, what are we doing this weekend?
AMBER: Oh, now it's we…
HITHE: Come on, you know you two always end up there sometime
SKI: Yeah…[sees Mark comes in]
What's he doing back?
[ Hithe walks over and they start talking. ]
AMBER: He's probably here to check up on us…
You know he doesn't like Hithe
SKI: Yeah, why is that?
AMBER: I don't know, I think…
[ Hithe comes back. ]
SKI: What did he say?
HITHE: Not much, I guess he left something here…
SKI: Oh well I'm going to bring in the rest of the carts
HITHE: OK
[ Ski exits, and Mark returns….says 'bye' and leaves out the other door. ]
AMBER: Do you want me to do anything before I go?
HITHE: He didn't leave with anything…
AMBER: What?
HITHE: Mark didn't…I don't even think he made it to the back
AMBER: Oh, I don't know
HITHE: Yeah, there's something going on
[shrugs shoulders] AMBER: Well bye….call me!
[Outside Ski's pushing carts & sees a car parked on the side of the building. ]
[Ski enters] SKI: Hey, has anyone been here?
HITHE: Nope, not in the last hour…
SKI: There's a car outside and it's not any of ours…Is Mark still here?
HITHE: He left awhile ago
SKI: Wow, wonder who that was then…
[ Hithe walks over to the window. ]
HITHE: Well they just drove off whoever they are…
SKI: OK? I'm getting out of here…
HITHE: Alright bye.
[ Ski walks out, & drives off just as the other car pulls around from the side of the store. ]
