SCENE ONE :
Morning, All Hours Fitness.
[ Kyle & Sunshine are returning
mats & surveying the area after
their broga class.
A few clients are talking in
the background. ]
"Next time you want me
to take over it would be
nice to have a little warning."
[ Sunshine pokes fun at Kyle
who is using a towel as a
cover for his head. ]
KYLE: Sorry. I know I haven't
been my usual, expressive
self today.
SUNSHINE: Is anything going
on you wanna talk about?
KYLE: No. I mean, not in
particular. I should be
better by the afternoon.
I think I'll go on a run.
Clear my head a little.
[ They separate to head to
their lockers. ]
SUNSHINE: See you later
then. Take it easy.
[ Kyle grabs his bag, throwing it
around both shoulders. Opening
the gym door, he feels the crisp
air hit his face.
He zips up his jacket & takes
off, running down the road. ]
SCENE TWO :
Inside The Aisles.
[ Kristyn is ending her break &
heading to floral but takes
some time to have a talk
with Syria. ]
KRISTYN: So there's something
I was meaning to ask you about.
SYRIA: Go ahead. I'm listening
hun.
KRISTYN: I know you and Dym-
inic are acquaintances but how
do you really feel about him
marrying Amber in a few weeks.
[ She looks at Syria, waiting. ]
SYRIA: Honestly, I'm totally fine
with it. Me & Hahn are even
going to go. We'll be sitting
on Mark & Ski's side though.
[ Syria looks mischievous &
Kristyn catches on. ]
KRISTYN: Yeah I figured.
SYRIA: Anyway I'm more con-
cerned for Amber.
KRISTYN: How come?
SYRIA: In our case, Dime proved
to have two different person-
alities. The one you're dating
isn't the one you marry unfor-
tunately.
[ Kristyn walks away curious. ]
SCENE THREE :
[ Two full miles later, Kyle finally
takes a rest. Taking a few long
gulps out his bottle, he walks onto
a grassy area filled with colorful
leaves.
He feels the urge to run back
but presses on as he spots a
familiar name on the ground
below him. ]
"Party" Marty Ramos
"Hey. Sorry it took me over a
year to get up enough strength
to do this."
KYLE: Truthfully I'm not sure
where you are buddy or if
you can even hear me. I know
everyone keeps saying you are
in a better place.
I just hope your happy and
I miss you.
[ Kyle feels a sudden weakness
come over him, & he goes to
kneel down instead. ]
KYLE: Since I left the club life
I haven't looked back. Monica's
great. The kids are good and
my career is blowing up at the
gym.
Oh, and Amber's getting married
in a few weeks.
[ He stops, thinking for a moment
& stands up.]
KYLE: What am I doing? I probably
sound like a complete idiot.
SCENE FOUR :
Later at TA.
[ Supervisor Airynn and stock guy
Brian are talking in the center
aisle. ]
"I'm telling you dude. I looked up
the name on the bottle."
BRIAN: You sure you even read it
correctly? I mean, you are not
the best speller.
AIRYNN: I wrote it down off the
label, genius!
BRIAN: Well forget about it. If
Ricky wanted people to know,
I'm sure he would have said
something by now.
It's no big deal either way.
[ Airynn gives him a look when
Kristyn arrives from around the
corner. ]
KRISTYN: How's it going?
[ They are silenced, wondering
if she heard. ]
AIRYNN: Just fine. And you?
KRISTYN: Good.
[ They head to the back while
Kristyn walks over to meat
counter, trying not to be
seen. ]
SCENE FIVE :
Late afternoon, the Salon.
[ Acer shuts his door while
Kyle is sitting at his desk
with his head down. ]
"I tried to go see him but
it just made me feel worse."
ACE: Don't worry about it man.
Not everyone deals with things
in the same way. This turned
out to not be your thing.
[ Ace sits down worried while
his friend grabs a tissue to
wipe his eyes.
A second of silence passes
& is interrupted by Kyle
sneezing. Acer smiles. ]
KYLE: I can't believe I'm
sitting here crying in your
office.
[ He starts to laugh a little. ]
ACE: You're fine. I won't
say anything you know that.
KYLE: I've just been so busy
it's been put in the back of
my mind. That sounds bad,
doesn't it?
[ Ace shakes his head, giv-
ing Kyle some minor relief. ]
SCENE SIX :
That night, at Kristyn's.
[ Kristyn & Hithe are lying on
the couch watching a movie. ]
KRISTYN: I wonder what it
must feel like to be one way
on the outside and completely
different inside.
[ Hithe makes a confused face. ]
HITHE: Are we watching the
same movie?
KRISTYN: Yes babe. Just some-
thing I've been pondering on
today.
HITHE: Well I don't know from
experience but I imagine it
would be quite hard.
KRISTYN: Yeah I bet.
[ She looks down but then brightens
up, climbing on top of Hithe. ]
HITHE: Hello.
[ They start kissing, ignoring the
movie entirely. ]
