In One Ear

SCENE 1

[ Before night shift
Jeszyca, Larrie, &
Weis are talking/
Airynn sits away ]

[ Ski enters ]

SKI: Airynn,
could I speak
with you out
here?

[ Airynn walks by
and Ski shuts the
door behind them ]

AIRYNN: Can
I help you?

SKI: Yes, the new
hire will be here
at 12 and I want
you to train him.
AIRYNN: Wow,
after all this time
some recognition.

[ Looks above him ]

I think I see pigs
flying around the
ceiling.

SKI: Good one.
Be serious, okay?
AIRYNN: Don’t
worry boss
I’ll keep it very
professional.

[ He smirks, as
Ski walks off ]


SCENE 2

[ At Monica’s
house ]

MONICA: My
neice is bringing
the kids soon.
Maybe you
should get
going.
KYLE: Or I could
stick around.
Isn’t it time
I meet them?

[ She gets off him
and stands up ]

MONICA: I don’t
know Kyle.
Since their dad
died last year,
I’m more cautious
who I let get
close to them.
KYLE: You don’t
have to worry. . .
I’m not going
anywhere.

[ The doorbell rings ]

‘That’s them!’

MONICA: If you’re
staying. . .Then you
better put a shirt on.

[ She laughs and
goes to answer
the door ]


SCENE 3

[ Airynn and Stuu
are walking around
the store ]

‘So, you’re Joh’s
friend?’

STUU: Yes.
AIRYNN: Right on!
Anyway, our job is
to put up all grocery
stuff.
Nothing cold.

[ He points to the
cooler and stops
walking. . . ]

STUU: Something
wrong?
AIRYNN: No. . .
I just need to
sit for a sec.
Catch my breath.

Too many aisles.

Anyway, [ coughs ]
You’re assigned a
section and it
doesn’t change.

[ Weis walks by them]

AIRYNN: Yup. . .
This cooler happens
to be the place that
guy up there lost
his virginity.
To our boss even.

How’s that for
a day at work?

[ Weis turns
around. . . ]

WEIS: No one cares.
Try getting newer
material jackass.


SCENE 4

[ Monica’s kids
walk in the door ]

‘Hey mom. . .

Who is that?’

MONICA: This is
Kyle, my friend
from work.

[ Trailyn makes
kissing noises ]

MONICA: Girl,
you better quit.

KYLE: So. . .
how was school
today buddy?
KILYN: Fine.
KYLE: That’s good.

Hey, our names
start out the same.
Pretty cool, huh?

[ Kilyn looks at him,
then Monica does ]

KILYN: I guess.

Uh, I’ll be
in my room.
MONICA: Okay.

[ She shakes her
head at Kyle ]


SCENE 5

[ Larrie is pacing back
and forth in his room/
He sits down, looks
at the pill bottle on
the desk and throws
it down. . . ]

[ His Dad enters
the room ]

‘Uh, Dad.
You could’ve
knocked.’

L’s DAD: Is there
something I should
know about?
LARRIE: Nope.
Just getting use
to my new meds.

Zero side effects.

[ He half smiles]

L’s DAD: Yeah.
I meant what I
said last time.
Any more
shit from you
and. . .
LARRIE: Dad,
I told you I’m
done.

[ His Dad leaves ]

[ On the phone ]

‘Hey Markis, it’s
Larrie. These new
meds are killing me.

Alright, I’m on
my way.


SCENE 6

‘Kids are finally
sleeping. . .’

[ Monica walks
up to the couch
and Kyle sits
up ]

MONICA: What
are you watching?
KYLE: Just some
chat line ad, I
guess.

You know late
night TV.
MONICA: Yeah,
I know something
else too.

[ She glances down
and Kyle quickly
puts a pillow over
his lap ]

MONICA: Let
me guess.
It was a perky
blonde that
caused your
current situation.
KYLE: What can
I say? I love me
some women.

MONICA: Yeah,
we will see
about all that.


SCENE 7

[ Airynn sees a
familiar face on
his run around
campus ]

‘Hey sexy girl.’

[ She turns around ]

TIESUN: Airynn?
What are you
doing here?
AIRYNN: Just getting
in some excercise
before this place
is swarming with
rowdy co-eds.
TIESUN: Oh.
That’s nice.

[ She jogs faster ]

AIRYNN: Look, I
know you’re helping
Markis with his little
illegal business.

It’s whatever.
But if you want
to get out, I’d
try and help.

TIESUN: You are
the last person I
would ever need
help from thanks.

[ She runs off and
Airynn tries to
catch up to her/

Shortly after he
stops and bends
over, gasping for
air…]
