SCENE 1:
Early
Morning, at Joh’s.
[ He
enters Weis’ bedroom. ]
WEIS: That
was fast. You must
have been
waiting for my light
to turn
on.
JOH:
Yeah. I’ve been up for
awhile. Just thinking.
WEIS: That
can be dangerous.
JOH: How
was the late night
skating
fest? Dude, I haven’t
been there
in ages.
WEIS: It
was packed.
JOH: With trails
of single
college
girls, I bet. Screw
my life.
[ He stops
talking & sits on
the bed. ]
WEIS:
Sucks they allow underage
there in
the summer.
JOH: Yeah,
I know.
WEIS: You
can come swimming
with us
this afternoon though
right?
JOH: Not
sure. Where at?
WEIS:
Riverland Park, I think.
JOH:
Nope. I can’t come within
whatever
feet of that place.
WEIS: You need to talk to Mark’s
lawyer
friend as soon as possible.
This is
getting ridiculous, dude.
SCENE 2:
Overseas;
Tokyo, Japan.
[ Jai
& Kiilyn are walking
down the
street. ]
KIILYN:
That was a long ride.
We better
hurry up before
we’re late
on the first day.
JAI: I
know, but the class
should be
in that building
up ahead.
[ He points
at the school
& they
walk inside the door. ]
KIILYN:
How am I gonna last
In this
class if I can’t even
say the
guys last name?
JAI: We’ll
just call him Teach
Y.
[ They
find the classroom. ]
TEACH Y:
You’re late. Please
take
seats.
[ Jai
& Kiilyn look at each other
& then
sit in the back of the
class. ]
TEACH Y:
Today we go over simple
vocabulary. But first, let me make
sure
everyone is here.
SCENE 3:
Local Office,
Downtown.
[ Joh
walks up to the building
& is
met at the door by Mark’s
friend. ]
M. UTILAN:
Nice to meet you.
Let’s talk
over here.
[ He sits
at a desk & Joh sits
In a chair
across from him. ]
JOH: I’m
not sure how much you
know about
what happened.
M. UTILAN:
I got a good idea
from
Mark. The problem lies
with the
fact that you waited
until
after you we’re given
the five
years on the list.
JOH: Does
that mean there
Is nothing
I can do?
M. UTILAN:
I wouldn’t say that.
It just
going to take some time.
JOH: How
long? It’s kind of hard
to enjoy
my summer when I can’t
be seen
anywhere.
M. UTILAN:
I understand. Give me
a few days
to do some more case
research
and I will get back to you.
JOH:
Alright then.
[
Dissapointed, Joh returns to his
truck. Not thinking, he heads
to find
his roomates. ]
SCENE 4:
Back at the
school.
[ Jai is
raising his hand to
answer his
third question
in a row.
]
KIILYN:
Hey, you might wanna
just
chill.
JAI: These
questions are so easy.
TEACH Y:
Does anyone else
have the
answer?
JAI: I’m
sorry sir but I already
know all
of these.
[ The
teacher stands over his desk. ]
TEACH Y: I
see, and what are you
trying to
say by that?
JAI: No
offense, but these words
are pretty
basic. I thought we’d
get into
more like sentence
structure.
TEACH Y:
Well since the curriculum
doesn’t
meet your standards,
maybe you
should sit out for
the rest
of the day.
JAI: What?
TEACH Y:
You heard me. You can
wait for
your friend in the empty
room next
door. Now go!
[ Kiilyn
shakes his head, while Jai
exits in
surprise. ]
SCENE 5:
Riverland
Park, swimming area.
[ Weis gets
out of the pool &
walks over
to LeeVigh & Tessa,
who are
laying on the grass. ]
WEIS: Joh
Joh is here.
LEEVIGH:
Yeah right.
WEIS: I’m
serious. I just seen
his truck
pull into the lot over
there.
[ LeeVigh
looks over & sees
Joh
smiling, walking towards. ]
LEEVIGH: I’ll
talk care of it.
[ At the
gate. ]
LEEVIGH:
Man, what are you
doing? You’re not suppose
to be
around here.
JOH: I
talked to the lawyer.
He said I
should of came
sooner.
Who knows how
long it
will take.
LEEVIGH:
Then, I’m sorry
but you
have to wait.
Listen, we’re
almost done.
Let’s go
home. I’ll just
text the
others.
[ They get
in Joh’s truck
&
drive off. ]
SCENE 6:
[ Jai is
sitting alone in the
empty
class room when his
phone
rings. He answers it,
hearing
laughter at the other
end. ]
SKI:
Sentence structure? I
can’t
believe you said that
smart ass.
JAI: I
wasn’t trying to be smart.
SKI: Yeah,
I know. He just took
It the
wrong way.
JAI: Don’t
tell Dad I got kicked
out on the
first day alright.
SKI: I won’t. And don’t worry.
You have
plenty of time to
make a
better impression.
JAI: That’s
true. Thanks Ski.
SKI: You’re
welcome.
Tell
everyone I said hi and
we miss
them.
JAI: I
will. Miss you too.
[ He hangs
up, burying his head
In his
arms. ]
“Five more
hours!”
