[ Ski rolls over in bed, dials Hithe & gets vm/
Closes eyes & then his cell rings. ]
SKI: Hello, who is this?
MARK: Hey Skilyr, it’s Mark…from work
I hope I didn’t wake you
SKI: No, it’s OK
MARK: Good, how are you?
SKI: I’m fine, you?
MARK: Same here
SKI: …OK, is there a problem?
MARK: Oh sorry…Actually yeah,
our Dairy/Frozen manager quit today
SKI: Oh, that's too bad
MARK: Yeah, so I was wondering if maybe
You could come in and supervise the night shift…
SKI: Why me?
MARK: Well, you’re one of our harder workers
and I figured since you’ve stocked back there before
SKI: I see…
MARK: Yeah, all you have to do is make sure
all the sales are ready for next week…
SKI: OK, that’s fine…doesn’t look like
I’ll have anything else to do [sighs]
MARK: Great! Thanks so much Ski…and
the night guys we’ll be there if you have any questions.
See ya later! [hangs up & Ski throws Hithe’s shirt he was laying on]
[ Ski enters store, no ones around/starts walking toward back. ]
MONICA: Ski! Hey, what are you doing here?
SKI: Mark called me…wanted me to fill in for the
F/D manager
MONICA: Oh really?
SKI: Yeah…
MONICA: Well, that was some party last night…
SKI: I know! Too bad it ended in complete disaster
MONICA: What happened? You disappeared and never came back
SKI: Just me and Hithe went for a walk…
And then I guess you could say we got into it
MONICA: Oh, what about?
[doesn’t hear her] SKI: Yeah, well I gotta go…
MONICA: Uh, OK. Have fun!
[ Ski continues walking, enters break room where Joh & Airynn
are talking/Weis is quietly observing. ]
[ Airynn throws a pen at Joh. ]
JOH: Dude, what?
AIRYNN: You know fucking what….
I set you up with that chick last night and you didn’t
even tell me how it went
[smirks] JOH: Oh that, well you know…
AIRYNN: Come on, did you get some or not?
JOH: I spent the whole night, what do you think?
AIRYNN: Hell yeah! See I told you she would give it up…
You just need to know how to handle that
JOH: Yeah, I know!
AIRYNN: Right guys???
[Weis rolls eyes] SKI: Yeah, I guess…
JOH: Why you asking him? [points at Weis]
He wouldn’t know anything about it! [laughs]
AIRYNN: Right.
[ Everyone leaves/Ski enters walk-in fridge, carts box out… ]
[ Starts putting up yogurt flavors ]
[comes up behind] WEIS: It’s Ski, right?
[turns around] SKI: Yeah, how’d you know?
WEIS: Mark told me
SKI: . . .Oh
WEIS: Yeah [looks down]
JOH: Hey, are you coming…or what?
[ Weis leaves, & Ski goes back to work. ]
JOH: What were you doing?
WEIS: Just saying ’Hi’…
JOH: That’s really sweet
Yeah, you see these boxes here…
They’re not gonna stock themselves
AIRYNN: Get to work!
[Airynn & Joh on ladders opposite aisle w/ Weis underneath]
AIRYNN: You stay down there…
JOH: And hand us boxes when we ask for them, OK?
WEIS: Yeah, I got it?
AIRYNN: OK, you could go a little faster!
JOH: Yeah, and don’t forget to put the empty ones in that bin…
[coughs] bitch!
WEIS: What?
JOH: Nothing
AIRYNN: So anyway, about this girl…
Is she like your girlfriend now?
JOH: Hell no, I don't wanna be tied down
But she can still suck on my…
AIRYNN: OK, I get the picture
[leans back] JOH: Yeah, alright
AIRYNN: So, when you gonna see her again?
JOH: I don’t know…maybe I’ll call a different one next time.
I got so many hos now, you know?
AIRYNN: …In different area codes? [laughs]
JOH: Something like that!
[ Airynn drops a box & hits Weis on the head. ]
[coughs] AIRYNN: Sorry dude!
I think it’s time to take a break
JOH: Yeah, let’s go!
[ Weis starts to leave… ]
AIRYNN: Not you! You still have boxes to get….
[ Weis sighs, & picks them up. ]
[ Back to the Diary department. ]
[thinking] SKI: Hmm, I wonder why Mark was telling
him about me..
WEIS: Hey, Ski!
[ Ski’s startled. ]
WEIS: Wanna take a break?
[ Airynn, Joh, Ski & Weis in break room. ]
SKI: So, how long have you guys worked here?
AIRYNN: Over a year…
JOH: Same
SKI: Yeah, me too…Weis?
AIRYNN: He just started last week
JOH: Yeah, and he don’t say much
SKI: Oh [Looks at Weis, who looks down]
AIRYNN: I can’t believe it’s only two
JOH: Yeah, I know…five more freaking hours!
AIRYNN: What do you wanna do?
JOH: I have no idea
AIRYNN: …Let’s go hang out in Mark’s office
SKI: What?
JOH: Yeah, how are we gonna get in there?
AIRYNN: I know where a key is
JOH: How did you find out?
AIRYNN: Just come on.
Are you guys coming?
SKI: …Sure
[ They all leave, Weis is last out. ]
[ Airynn opens door & all go in, he sits at desk & Joh sits in front of desk
w/ Ski standing & Weis on the floor. ]
SKI: Is this his office or an arcade?
AIRYNN: You’ve never been in here?
SKI: Nope
JOH: Mark let’s us chill in here all the time…
AIRYNN: He has cable, DVD player, even a Wii in here…
SKI: What’s that?
AIRYNN: It’s a security system…
He can see anywhere in the store
JOH: Yeah
AIRYNN: Why don’t you and Weis go out there
and we’ll try and find you…
JOH: Uh, OK…
Get up, dude.
[ Airynn whispers something to Joh before they exit. ]
AIRYNN: OK, let’s see where they went…
[ Moves cam until he finds Joh & Weis facing him. ]
[on speaker] AIRYNN: Alright, I see you guys…
You can come back now
[ Weis goes to walk back and Joh signals the cam/
Then squats down and pulls Weis’ pants to the ground
making him trip and fall. ]
[laughs] AIRYNN: Just a little initiation!
Good job! …You can come back!
JOH: Sorry man, that was just too easy…
[ Joh comes back & Weis follows him. ]
AIRYNN: That was classic
SKI: Uh no, that wasn’t cool!
[ignoring him] JOH: Now what?
Shouldn’t we be getting back to work ….
AIRYNN: Yeah, in a little while…
Wait! Who was that?
JOH: Where?
AIRYNN: Someone’s walking through the back,
But I can’t tell who it is…
SKI: Who would be here in the middle of the night?
AIRYNN: I don’t know
JOH: Should we call 911?
[ Key starts turning in the door…/Door swing open & someone enters]
MARK: What the hell are you guys doing in here?
AIRYNN: Uh, we were just…
I was just showing Ski the…
MARK: This isn’t show and tell
JOH: Don’t look at me!
He found the other key…
[starts laughing] MARK: I’m just fucking with you…
What’s up?
AIRYNN: Oh
JOH: Yeah, I know!
MARK: Anyways, you three are dismissed!
Go back to work…
[ Airynn, Joh, & Weis leave/Mark shuts the door. ]
[ Looks at Ski hands him a 20oz out of his jacket. ]
MARK: Here, Seven Up natural…right?
SKI: Uh, how did you know. . .
MARK: You drink them everyday in the break room
SKI: Ok, this is bordering now on psycho stalker!
What are you really doing here?
[goes to sit, lays back & smiles] MARK: Hey, I’m not trying to stalk you!
I’m just wanted to make sure everything was going OK….
Sit down, let’s talk!
SKI: OK?
MARK: What do you think of the boys?
SKI: Weis is shy, quiet…the other two are
immature assholes! Why?
MARK: Yeah, I know…
SKI: All they do is go on and on about
all their girls and sex. I could throw up if I hear anymore
MARK: Yeah right.
I’ve seem them two kiss.
SKI: What?
MARK: You’ll be surprised what they’ll do
with the right amount of alcohol
SKI: How would you know?
Wait, you let them drink here!
MARK: Once or twice, yeah…Look Ski, I’ve been doing this same
job for the past ten years now and I’ve realized you’ll enjoy
things a lot more if you just relax and have a little fun…
SKI: Yeah, I guess…but
MARK: As long as the job gets done then what’s the problem
SKI: OK, but what’s really going on?
Sometimes it seems like you follow me around…
MARK: Well, what do you think of me…
as a person?
SKI: You’re pretty nice, I guess…
Why?
MARK: I think the same about you…
So friends, OK? [holds out hand]
SKI: Yeah, I guess so… [shakes hand]
[ Goes to Weis outside the door & walking off. ]
NEXT TIME: THE AFTERMATH OF THE PARTY…
