SCENE 1:
Next Day, at TA.
[ Amber arrives. Walking into
the break room, she finds Hahn
with his arm around Syria.
Hahn gives Amber the thumbs
up before they separate. Syria
gathers her stuff, giving Amber
a stern look as she passes. ]
HAHN: Hey Amber.
[ He smiles, ignoring her expression. ]
AMBER: I guess you two talked. Can
I asked just what the hell you think
you’re doing?
HAHN: Easy. I didn’t say anything
about you. She was upset so I was
being supportive.
That’s all.
[ Amber shakes her head. ]
AMBER: That’s not the point. Your
taking advantage and derailing the
plan. Did you forget we’re trying
to get them back together?
HAHN: But Dyminic is a creep and
incredibly sneaky. She’s probably
better off.
AMBER: That he is. They’ve been
married for almost 20 years since
high school though. I wouldn’t
want to get in the way of that
and you shouldn’t either.
HAHN: Fine. I guess, you’re right.
AMBER: I am. Now stop being so
nice or this will never work.
SCENE 2:
In the Hospital parking lot.
[ Larrie is waiting in his car
when Ace appears in the
parking lot. ]
LARRIE: Hey, how’d things go?
ACE: A lot better than I thought.
The waiting after is the worst
part.
[ He gets inside, shutting the door. ]
LARRIE: Hopefully the radiation
can shrink it down and give
you a little more comfort.
ACE: Right. So, what are you
up to tonight?
LARRIE: Ah, you know. I work
later and
[ He speeds through coughing. ]
LARRIE: Before going to see Cora.
ACE: You’re serious. What else
does she have to do for you to
realize she’s crazy?
LARRIE: Alright. The first time was
partly my fault. I did tell her to go
wild and surprise me.
ACE: Spare me the details.
LARRIE: Anyway the whole
thing was a mere coincidence.
I was wasted and shouldn’t
of gotten in the car. Cora
wouldn’t do this.
SCENE 3:
Back at TA.
[ Amber leaves the break
room & spots Syria getting
ready to leave. ]
“Hey, can we talk?”
[ Syria slowly turns around. ]
SYRIA: Dyminic’s leaving tonight.
I know you want to get on your
cell and talk more behind my
back. As if you do any work
around here anyway.
AMBER: Excuse me. I do not want
your husband. Actually he is the
[ Amber stops herself as Hahn comes
up behind her. ]
AMBER: I’m sorry things are not working
for you and maybe you feel like you got
the short stick. Remind me how that is
because of me?
SYRIA: It’s hard to maintain something that
was stable with flouncy, desperate, little
girls walking all around in here.
[ Amber starts to get closer & Hahn
grabs her arm. Before she can move,
a voice behind Syria stops them all. ]
“Hey Sear, can we talk?”
SCENE 4:
Later on, that night.
[ Larrie is waiting in his car
outside Cora’s house. Getting
himself together, he gets out
& approaches her front door.
As Cora notices Larrie from her
balcony, she quickly disappears
inside. ]
[ Minutes later, she meets Larrie
on the front porch. ]
LARRIE: It took you awhile to get
down here. What’s up?
CORA: Nothing. I was worried when
you didn’t come back last night.
I’m glad you're okay.
[ Suddenly the upstairs light from
Cora’s window shuts off. Larrie
notices & his mood changes fast. ]
LARRIE: You set me up, didn’t you?
CORA: Of course not. I wish I was
there. Why didn’t you answer
any of my calls after?
LARRIE: I was too busy calling my
manager to help me peel myself
off the open road maybe.
[ Before Larrie can continue, a
stranger appears. He walks up
to Cora, kisses her & starts to
leave but Larrie turns him
around, catching him off
guard as he prepares to
swing at his face. ]
SCENE 5:
Meanwhile at Monica’s.
[ Monica is sitting in the
living room watching TV
when her son comes in
from the hall. ]
KIILYN: Kyle’s walking up
the driveway, Mom.
MONICA: Boy, quit playing!
KIILYN: I’m serious.
MONICA: Alright. Go on.
[ Monica opens the door in
surprise & motions for him
to step in. ]
KYLE: Man, it’s really coming
down out there.
MONICA: I haven’t heard from
you in weeks and you just
show up. I thought you had
made your decision.
KYLE: I thought so too.
[ Monica looks away. ]
KYLE: But the truth is, I
really hadn’t. And that’s why
I quit working at Mysting Spot.
You are the most important
part of my life.
Monica Toni Winters,
will you marry me?
SCENE 6:
Inside TheAisles.
[ Amber & Hahn are waiting
as Dyminic talks to Syria
in the break room.
The door opens & Syria
comes out. Hahn follows
her out the door. ]
[ Inside the break room. ]
AMBER: Is this what you really
wanted?
DYMNIC: No. Syria dumped me.
[ Amber looks shocked. ]
DYMNIC: She thinks we’ve grown
too far apart from each other.
AMBER: Tell me you’re not getting
divorced.
DYMNIC: No, no. I’m just going
out of town for awhile.
Maybe things will change when
I get back.
AMBER: I hope so. Believe it or
not, my intent today was to
get you and Syria back together.
Not start an argument.
DYMINIC: I believe it. You have
a good heart Amber.
Well, I better get going.
[ Amber watches, sighing as
he leaves TA. ]
SCENE 7:
[ Cora gets between Larrie
& the stranger just in time. ]
CORA: Larrie, stop!
LARRIE: Who is this jerk?
CORA: He’s a friend from work.
When I didn’t hear from you.
I assumed the worst.
LARRIE: Oh, I get it. That gives
you free reign inside another
man’s pants.
CORA: It’s not like that.
LARRIE: When my cousin
thought you set me up, I
stuck up for you. But I’m
beginning to see that was
a huge mistake.
[ He brushes past her. ]
CORA: Hun, wait. Just let
me explain.
[ Larrie turns around slowly &
stares coldly in her direction. ]
LARRIE: Take care, Cora!
[ Not looking back, he walks
straight to his car & drives
off. ]
