SCENE 1:
Chiba, Japan.
[ Jenni’s grandparent’s house. ]
JENNI: So how have you been
feeling?
[ She looks at her grandmother. ]
GMOTHER: I’ve been fine. Just fine.
What about the two of you?
[ She smiles at Chais. ]
GFATHER: That’s not true. She had
a bad fall the other day.
JENNI: No wonder you’ve been
sitting so much.
GMOTHER: It’s not that bad. Just
have to take it easy for a couple
weeks.
JENNI: You need help during the
day.
GFATHER: I’ve been staying home
with her.
GMOTHER: But not anymore. We
need you working.
I can manage.
[ She attempts to get up, slowly
& in obvious pain.
Chais walks
toward her. ]
CHAIS: Here, let me help you.
[ Jenni’s grandfather shakes his
head while Jenni looks concerned. ]
SCENE 2:
Morning back home, TA.
[ Hahn is watching from a distance
as Landyn is checking out a long
line of customers.
He waits for
a break to approach him. ]
HAHN: How does it feel to
have so many fans?
LANDYN: I wouldn’t call it that.
HAHN: Every time you help out
there’s a bigger crowd around
here.
LANDYN: Really?
HAHN: No doubt, man. Anyway
do you have any advice on how
I can get Syria to talk to me?
LANDYN: Sure do.
Don’t be a
stalker. Give
her time to come
to you.
[ Meanwhile, break room. ]
SYRIA: I think I may have jump
to conclusions about Hahn.
What do you think?
KRISTYN: Maybe.
[ Syria gives her a look. ]
KRISTYN: Sorry.
I’m not really
the expert on this.
I suggest
you just talk to him.
SCENE 3:
Overseas, Japan.
[ After a few days, Jenni &
Chais prepare to head back
to their friends in Tokyo. ]
CHAIS: This was fun.
Actually
this whole summer has been
pretty awesome.
JENNI: I know and you didn’t
even want to come.
[ He smiles. ]
CHAIS: Yes, I can be dumb.
But it’s cute and you like it!
JENNI: You wish.
[ She taps him on the nose
& they kiss. ]
CHAIS: Ready to go home
tomorrow? Can’t believe school
starts back in two weeks.
[ Jenni stays silent. ]
CHAIS: What are you thinking
about so hard?
[ She looks away. ]
JENNI: I think I should stay
here for awhile and help out.
CHAIS: You’re not serious.
SCENE 4:
At Syria’s house.
[ Hahn enters and shuts the
door behind him. ]
SYRIA: Thanks for coming.
[ They sit down in the living
room. ]
HAHN: I’m sorry about the
other day. I
realize I
got carried away.
SYRIA: If we
don’t trust
each other, this is never
going to last.
[ Hahn looks down. ]
HAHN: And you still want
it to?
SYRIA: I do.
[ Hahn sighs & Syria kisses
him on the cheek. ]
SYRIA: By the way, one of
our fellow employees has
gotten themselves in a big
mess with Mark.
HAHN: Oh yeah.
Who?
SCENE 5:
Tokyo Airport.
[ Jai & Kiilyn are sitting next
to each other. ]
KIILYN: Those two better hurry
up. We board in
20 minutes.
JAI: Yeah, I know.
Can’t believe
Jenni’s not coming with us.
KIILYN: How’s
your brother?
JAI: Who knows.
[ Elsewhere in the Airport, Chais
& Billy are walking back. ]
CHAIS: Jenni said to tell you
have a safe flight.
BILLY: Cool, so are you okay?
You know she’s coming back.
CHAIS: What if she doesn’t
though?
BILLY: She’s not gonna leave
her friends, school, job. Oh,
and then there’s you.
CHAIS: Funny.
[ They arrive with the other two. ]

Our flight is about
to board.

from Charles who looks
worried. ]
MARK: What do you have
to say?
CHARLES: It was a huge mistake.
I’m sorry. Me
and the wife
we’re struggling that week
with bills. I
know that’s not
an excuse.
[ He looks up at Mark. ]
CHARLES: If you have to fire
me, I’ll understand.
Please
don’t tell Sandie why though.
[ Mark stands up & walks to
the other side of the room. ]
MARK: I’m not going to fire you.
CHARLES: Thank you. I really
appreciate it.

Just talk to
me. Okay? My door is
