316 Half of My Heart


‘After the way you
ended things, I
didn’t think you
would ever take
me back. . .’

AMBER: I’m sorry.

It took me awhile
to realize. . .
I should’ve just
talked to you

VOICE: Yeah. . .and
I wish you had

AMBER: When I’m
‘ with you, I can’t
explain it. . .

I know now,
I made a huge
mistake

VOICE: I really wish
things were different

AMBER: What do
you mean?
It wasn’t that
long ago

‘It’s too late

Amber . . . I’m sorry.’



[ All of sudden,
Amber sits up
In bed. . . ]


. . .


[ Hithe is standing by
the front office when
Ski walks up to him ]

‘You hiding from
someone?’

HITHE: Right,
that’s it!

Do you even
remember what
we talked about
yesterday?

SKI: Yeah, I
can’t believe
you’re even
considering it

This is about
your son
HITHE: My son
is gone!
And ever since
then. . .Kristyn’s
been drifting away
too

SKI: And you think
taking the money
will somehow
strengthen your
relationship?

HITHE: Look, it’s
not just a little
pedly cash we’re
talking

This is something
that could change
our lives, forever

[ He walks away,
leaving Ski stand-
ing there ]


[ Outside the break
room, Weis & Joh
are sneaking out
the back door ]

JOH: You really
haven’t smoked
all day?
WEIS: Nope. . .
not even a cig
I surprised
my own self
JOH: Aw, my little
Weis is growing
up [ laughs]

WEIS: Yeah right!
Seventeen doesn’t
really feel any
different. . .
And don’t even
get me started
on Landyn’s antics
on my birthday

[ Joh’s cell starts
buzzing in his
pocket. . . ]

[ He takes it
out and looks
down ]

‘New E-mail,
From: EXtube
User. . .’

WEIS: Well, some
one’s popular
tonight. . .

[ He looks at Joh ]

Wait, don’t tell
me you finally
have a girlfriend?

JOH: I wish!
No, I just get
a lot of stupid
spam e-mails


[ The next day,
Amber arrives at
the Salon ]

AMBER: Hey,
thanks for doing
this on such short
notice, girl
KARIE: It’s fine
We’re not busy
right now


‘Alright then,
I’ll see ya next
week Kare’

[ Monica walks
up from the
back. . . ]

MONICA: Oh. . .
Hey Amber

[ She quickly exits
the Salon. . . ]

KARIE: She sure
was in a hurry
AMBER: Wonder why


[ Meanwhile, at
Mark’s. . . ]

‘Turn that down!
I can’t even hear
myself think’

[ Chaison yells back
from the other side
of the door ]

CHAISON: It’s
not even that
loud Dad!

Ski never bitches
at me about it

MARK: Hey. . .
Watch your mouth!
CHAISON: Alright Dad

[ He walks into
the living room ]

MARK: Where
do you think
you’re going?
CHAISON: I’m
going to Billy’s

Bye.

MARK: Oh no
you aren’t Mr!

[ He gets up and
the door slams ]


[ Back at the
Salon. . . ]

KARIE: You’re
working those
curls Am
See I knew you
would like it

[ Amber’s looking
in the mirror. . . ]

AMBER: Well, I
do try [ laughs ]

Seriously though,
tonight isn’t just
any old date

KARIE: I know,
you don’t have
to explain it to
me
AMBER: You do?

KARIE: Come on!
I can tell you’re
still in love with
Jeszyca. . .You
don’t have to
hide it girl

[ Amber looks at
her, then starts
to smile. . . ]

AMBER: Well,
I should go
get ready

Tell Ace I said
‘Hi’. . .

[ She exits ]


[ Mark is waiting
at the kitchen
table when Ski
comes in. . . ]

SKI: So. . .
Are you finally
gonna tell me
why I drove all
the way here on
my lunch break?

MARK: I’m sorry
babe, but we
need to talk
SKI: Yeah, we do
But probably
not for the same
reason

[ He sits down ]

SKI: I know you
used Chaison’s
savings to bail
me out of jail
Mark
You should
have told me
MARK: Hey, don’t
worry about
it. I’ll have it all
back soon

There’s a bigger
problem though

[ Mark stands up ]

MARK: Chase’s out
of control behavior

He’s left again!

MARK: I’ve got
the papers from
my lawyer

You’re like a dad
to him already
and you’re the
only person he
listens to now
I think this is
the only way
to settle the
kid down

SKI: Wait. . .

You want me
adopt him?


[ Amber is all
dressed up and
walking up to
Kyle’s door ]

[ She knocks ]

‘Uh, Amber
Hi. . .what
are you doing
here?’

AMBER: I was
wondering if we
could talk
KYLE: Right now’s
not such a good

‘What’s taking
so long, Ky?’

AMBER: Is that
Monica?
