[ At Weis' parents house, he's in bed sleeping. ]
[ His mom calls from outside his bedroom door. ]
WEIS' MOM: It's after 12, are you ever getting up?
WEIS: Shit! I mean, yes mom.
WEIS' MOM: What was that?
[ sighs ] WEIS: Nothing. . .
WEIS' MOM: Well, you need to get out of bed…
Just because you're not in school,
doesn't mean you can sleep all day!
WEIS: OK I am!
[ Stands up and pulls on some pants/
picks up his cell & dials a number ]
WEIS: Hey, I'm up. . .you still bringing it?
Alright cool, see you in a little while
[ In the kitchen Weis sits at the table/
picks up a muffin & starts eating it. ]
[ His mom comes in & stares at him. ]
WEIS: What?
WEIS' MOM: Me and your Dad were just wondering. . .
What you've been doing lately?
WEIS: Come on, mom.
Could we not go there for one day? [ looks away ]
WEIS' MOM: I mean, you worked really hard last year
and now you disappear all day long and do nothing
WEIS: I don't do nothing, I work all night.
WEIS' MOM: I know, you work. . .
But, what are your plans? Do you even have any?
WEIS: I have plenty of time to think about that!
WEIS' MOM: And you're always leaving with that same guy
WEIS: And?
WEIS' MOM: We're just concerned about you
[ raises his voice ] WEIS: Well, don't be…I'm fine.
WEIS' MOM: OK, well I'm going to work
I'll see you in the morning… [ kisses him on the cheek ]
WEIS: Mom!
WEIS MOM: Think about what I said. . . [ she leaves ]
[ dials his cell ] WEIS: Yeah, she's gone…
I'm coming out now
[ Morning at the store, Amber & Monica are talking. ]
AMBER: Wow! So, you gonna tell your kids?
MONICA: I don't know yet…
I mean, he's being really good with them right now
But I still have my doubts
AMBER: Yeah, I understand
I mean, he just got out of jail
MONICA: Anyways, you here about Dina?
AMBER: No, what about her?
MONICA: She put in her two week notice
AMBER: What! Are you serious?
MONICA: Yeah, can you believe it?
Three years of service down the drain…
all because of one person
AMBER: That's crazy!
[ sneaks up on them ] HITHE: Hey girls!
[ both immediately look up at him]
AMBER: Don't do that! [ sighs ]
[ laughs ] HITHE: Sorry. . .
This feels just like old times though!
AMBER: Yeah, I know. . .except Ski's not here
[ Mark passes by whistling, stops & looks at them. ]
[ smiles ] MARK: Morning everyone!
[ walks to the back ]
MONICA: What's going on with him?
[ looks at Amber ] HITHE: He probably heard you say Ski,
and the mere thought of him brightened his whole day
AMBER: Oh yeah, that's it [ hits his arm]
HITHE: Hey!
[ Everyone laughs. ]
[ A car drives off & Weis gets out, looks around/
Then starts walking. . . ]
[ He enters a park & disappears behind some trees
sitting down/ Then pulls a bag & a lighter out
of his back pocket. ]
[ Kristyn enters the store. ]
HITHE: Hey you [ smiles ]
KRISTYN: Morning Hithe…
Hey everyone!
[ She walks toward the back & Hithe follows her. ]
[ looks at Monica ] AMBER: Yup, exactly like old times
[ comes up to Hithe & Kristyn in the back. ]
MARK: Sorry to interrupt…
Can I talk to you, Kristyn?
KRISTYN: Uh, yea sure [ looks at Hithe ]
MARK: OK, let's go in my office
[ In Mark's office, their sitting down ]
[ looks at her ] MARK: So, how you feeling?
KRISTYN: Oh, I'm doing better right now…
It's off and on though
MARK: That's good!
Well, take it easy around here…don't do too much
KRISTYN: I wont
But I'm ready to start getting
things back to normal
MARK: Yeah, I understand that. . .

KRISTYN: Thanks. . . [ silence ]
So, if you don't mind me asking…
How's your divorce going?
MARK: Actually I'm glad you did. . .
Everything is finally settled!
KRISTYN: That's great!
MARK: I know
It was a long, drawn out process
KRISTYN: Yeah, I will be going through
the same thing soon [ looks down ]
MARK: Don't worry
I'm sure it wasn't your fault
KRISTYN: Yeah, well I gotta punch in…
MARK: OK, see you later
[ Weis is walking home & on his phone. ]
[ gets VM ] WEIS: Hey babe, where you at?
Well, I love you…call me back!
[ Suddenly a car drives up & someone gets out. ]
WEIS: What are you doing here?
AIRYNN: Why hello there, Weis. . . [ smirks ]

WEIS: Yeah, ha-ha! I live here…
What the fuck do you want?
AIRYNN: Oh, nothing… [ laughs ]
See you at work!
WEIS: Uh, yea…bye! [ rolls his eyes & goes inside ]
[ Sitting down at the table, he pulls out a cigarette
& lights it. ]
[ Up front at the store. ]
MONICA: Wow, today is flying by
AMBER: Yeah, I know. . .
HITHE: Well, you know what they say…
Time goes by when you're having fun
MONICA: Yeah, I guess
AMBER: Wow, Mr. Comedian over here
Where's Mark?
I haven't seen him in hours
HITHE: I don't know…
He had to leave early for some reason
[ Inside a local bar & Mark enters. ]
FRIEND1: There he is
MARK: Hey guys
FRIEND2: Where's your friend?
MARK: Oh Ski. . .
FRIEND1: Yeah, the one from your party [ smirks ]
MARK: Uh, I couldn't get ahold of him
FRIEND1: Oh well, it's time to celebrate
MARK: Celebrate what? [ looks down at his cell ]
FRIEND2: You getting your freedom back
[ hands him a shot & sits a beer down in front of him ]
MARK: Oh! Well in the case…
What are we waiting for?
[ He downs the shot & chugs his glass until it's emptied/
His friends just stare at him. ]
MARK: What?
[ Weis is sitting out on his front steps
& Ski pulls up. ]
SKI: Hey you!
WEIS: Hey, where you been? [ he gets in ]
SKI: Sorry, I just woke up like an hour ago
[ leans over & kisses him ]
WEIS: It's OK [ smiles ]
SKI: What have you been doing?
[ Weis starts to laugh ]
SKI: Oh, I no…
Damn, how do you always get that stuff?
WEIS: Mark
SKI: WHAT?
WEIS: No, wait…I mean
SKI: You've been getting it from Mark?
WEIS: NO, well yeah…I have before
He gets the good shit [ smirks ]
SKI: Wow, I can't believe him…
That's not the point!
He shouldn't be giving you it at all!
WEIS: Are you mad?
SKI: No, just surprised
WEIS: Well, I got some left, if you wanna…
[ Ski just looks at him, then turns the other way. ]
[ Back at the bar, Mark is drinking another beer. ]
FRIEND1: This isn't like the calm and collective
Mark, we're use to…
FRIEND2: Yeah, you've never been like this
What's with you tonight?
MARK: Nothing, it's just like you said…
I'm celebrating
FRIEND2: You sure that's the only reason?
MARK: Yeah [ his cell rings ]
MARK: Hold on, I have to answer this [ goes outside ]
[ Friend1 + 2 looks at each other. ]
MARK: Hey! I've been trying to get ahold of you!
You should come down here…
SKI: Yeah, I don't know
MARK: Wait, is something wrong?
SKI: You tell me. . .
Weis told me you've been getting him high
MARK: What?
SKI: Why are you selling that anyway?
MARK: I don't sell it Ski, I don't even smoke it…
I just know people who do and he called me
SKI: Oh, well I didn't know you two
meet up outside of work
MARK: A few times. . .you and him are having sex
But why does any of this matter?
SKI: Well, I might be sleeping with him…
But at least I'm not giving him drugs!
MARK: Sorry, I didn't mean to upset you
SKI: Yeah. . .well, I don't know
I'll just talk to you later [ hangs up ]
[ Mark leans up against the building & his friends come oBoysut. ]
FRIEND1: So, is he coming?
FRIEND2: Yeah, what did he say?
[ Mark doesn't look, just shakes his head ]
