Shut Em Down Part 2


SCENE 1:
Outside, near LeeVigh & Joh’s
apartment.

[ They are walking to the gas
station. ]

JOH: Dude, it’s freezing.  I
can’t believe you wanted
to walk.
LEEVIGH: Chill, literally. It’s
two blocks, man.

[ They both laugh. ]

JOH: Anyway, tell me more
about that hot girl at work.
LEEVIGH: What’s to say except
she could have got me fired.
JOH: Really, what happened?
LEEVIGH: The boss caught her
kissing me, but then she lied
and said I was her boyfriend.
JOH: Sweet, that doesn’t
sound like a problem to
me.
LEEVIGH: Well, it is.  That’s
not the way I want to move
up in the company.
JOH: By being someone’s leash?
LEEVIGH: Exactly.  Maybe I should
just withdraw.

[ They arrive at the gas station,
not noticing a guy staring at Joh
while looking at his phone. ]


SCENE 2:
At Mark & Ski’s place.

[ Larrie, Weis, & Ski are
sitting in the living room. ]

LARRIE: So where did Mark
and Ace head off to?

[ He mouths through a gulp
of beer. ]

SKI: They’re going to the casino
in Maison City.
LARRIE: Ah, I’ve been there once
but I’ve never won anything.
SKI: Right, me either.  Mark does
every time.  I don’t understand it.

[ He sits his beer down as Chais
comes downstairs. ]

CHAIS: Um, hello drunkee. You are
suppose to be taking me to drive
tonight.
SKI: Oh yeah, I’ll do it tomorrow.
Sorry man.

[ Chais rolls his eyes at him. ]

WEIS: I’m not drinking.  I’ll do it.
SKI: You sure?  In your new car.

WEIS: Why not.  How bad can he
be?  Let’s go, little dude.


SCENE 3:
Acer & Mark are on the road
to Maison City.

ACE: Well, I agree with Hahn
sorry man.
MARK: It’s cool.  I know I need
to be careful.  I just can’t help
it.

I wanna be with Ski for the rest
of my life but. . .
ACE: But you have needs?
MARK: Exactly.

ACE: Well, not to get too personal.
Maybe you should try switching
things up in the bedroom.
You know, taking turns.
MARK: I get it.  I’ll talk to Ski.

Anyway, I’m so ready to get
wild tonight!

Meanwhile, back at home.

WEIS: Just take it easy, dude.
The roads are kind of slick.
CHAIS: Yeah, yeah. I know
what I’m doing. 

[ Chais is messing with the radio. ]

WEIS: Now you’ll want to slow
down sooner at this stop light
because of the ice.

[ Chais isn’t paying attention through
the loud music.  Hitting the brakes
at the last minute, they start to
slide & he swerves right into a
mailbox. ]

WEIS: Oh my god.


SCENE 4:

[ LeeVigh & Joh are walking
out of the gas station when
a man approaches them. ]

LEEVIGH: Uh, hello.  Do we
know you?

[ Suddenly the man pulls out
his phone & shows them a
picture of Joh on a registered
offender application.

Joh’s mouth drops. ]

STRANGER: Nope, but maybe
I should.  How do they let
freaks like him roam the
streets?

[ Joh starts to walk toward
the guy but LeeVigh gets
in front of him. ]

LEEVIGH:  You have no idea
what you’re talking about.
STRANGER: I think I understand
very well.
LEEVIGH: Well, you don’t.

[ The guy raises his arm but
LeeVigh catches him off guard
knocking him to his feet. ]

LEEVIGH: Back off okay.

[ The man lays there as they
walk away. ]


SCENE 5:

[ At the casino in Maison City. ]

ACE: Ready to play?

[ Mark stays silent. ]

ACE: What are you staring at?
MARK: Lacey.
ACE: I know, we’ve talked about
her the entire car ride. Let it go,
man.

[ He starts to laugh. ]

MARK: No, she right there.
ACE: That’s her, wow.
MARK: I know, I’ll be right
back.
ACE: Wait, I don’t think you
should go over there.

[ Mark approaches Lacey. ]

MARK: Hey, what a coincidence.
LACEY: Oh hey, Mark.  This is my
friend, Anna.
MARK: Nice to meet you.

So, what do we have going
on tonight ladies?

[ He smiles at Lacey. ]


SCENE 6:

[ LeeVigh is back at home
calling his team lead. ]

LEEVIGH: Come on, pick up.

TESSA: Hello?
LEEVIGH: Hey Tessa, we need
to talk.
TESSA: I’m glad you called.  I
have some news for you too.
LEEVIGH: Cool, let me go first
though.
I need to tell you that I’m
withdrawing from the position.
TESSA: What? I thought this is
what you wanted.
LEEVIGH: I did, but not in this way.
TESSA: What do you mean? I’m
sorry about the other day.  I got
a little carried away.
LEEVIGH:  If I get promoted, it should
be about my work not because of you.

TESSA: Well, I’m sorry you feel that
way because you already got the
job. 
LEEVIGH: What?


SCENE 7:
The next morning.

[ Ace gets out of bed & notices
Mark is not in the room when
suddenly the room door comes
open. ]

ACE: Where have you been man?
What happened last night?

[ Mark looks down, sits on his bed
& doesn’t speak. ]

ACE: I have a hangover from hell.

[ Ace looks in the mini fridge for
some water. ]

ACE: Let’s go get breakfast.
MARK: Sure, just let me shower
first. Alright?

[ Ace looks at Mark for the first
 time. ]

ACE: Okay, why is your shirt
in your hand?
Tell me you did not.
MARK: Lacey kissed me.
ACE: And?
MARK: Then we made out.


What am I gonna tell Ski?
