SCENE 1
[ Chais & Jenni are laying on
the couch together while Billy
is doing laps around it. ]
CHAIS: Dude, chill out
before Ski comes down
here bitching.
[ Billy returns to the couch. ]
BILLY: Sorry
but all of a
sudden I have this crazy
energy around me.
I can’t stop moving.
[ He starts shaking his leg. ]
JENNI: Maybe you should
have talked to his parents
before messing with his
meds.
BILLY: I can hear you.
And
they're always saying I should
take it right.
So I did.
Anyways, I’m gonna
head home. Be
back later.
[ Billy runs out the door as Chais
brother comes downstairs looking
around. ]
JAI: I swear, I
heard cattle in
here just a second ago.
CHAIS: Yeah that was just Billy.
High off his ass.
[ Chais laughs while everyone
else looks concerned. ]
SCENE 2
At Weis’ apartment. . .
[ People are lining up down
the driveway outside. ]
“You all ready for the auditions?”
WEIS: Yeah, I can’t believe
so many showed up.
Its
just a local band.
Now
I know we’ll find someone.
So, what are you gonna
do for two hours?
JOH: I’m gonna go see
what Stuu is up to.
WEIS: Cool, cool.
Well,
LeeVigh should be back
any time now to start.
JOH: I’m surprised you
got him to join you.
Ever since he got that
promotion. He’s
been
all about work.
WEIS: Yeah, I know.
That’s
why this will be a good thing.
Plus he’s a bad ass drummer.
JOH: Someone's here!
[ LeeVigh pulls into the drive
& parks his car, walking inside. ]
“You weren’t kidding about the
all day thing!”
SCENE 3
Back at Chais’ place.
CHAIS: Now that we’re alone.
I think we should talk.
[ Jenni sits up & looks at
Chais. ]
JENNI: About Billy?
CHAIS: No.
About that guy
I saw you talking to when
I picked you up earlier.
JENNI: Okay.
His name is
Juan. He’s a
new bagger.
What else would you like
to know?
CHAIS: I don’t know.
It seems
like he was flirting with you.
Do I need to talk to this guy?
[ Jenni gets off of Chais. ]
JENNI: No. Do
you not trust me?
Most guys flirt. It's nothing.
CHAIS: Babe, it’s not that.
JENNI: Okay then.
Don’t worry.
Everyone knows I have a
boyfriend. At
school too.
[ She kisses Chais & he starts
to relax. ]
SCENE 4
LEEVIGH: I think you should
[ Weis & LeeVigh are standing
behind a table as various male
musicians stand up to perform.
They give feedback right away. ]
WEIS: I’m sorry.
We didn’t feel
like it was enough.
[ The guy starts to walk away as
they whisper. ]
LEEVIGH: He was pretty good.
WEIS: I don’t think so.
Next one please!
[ After another hour of bad
auditions according to Weis,
LeeVigh pulls his band mate
aside. ]
LEEVIGH: I think you should
relax a little.
I mean some
of those guys could have worked.
WEIS: I just want the band to
work well together.
I know it
when I see it.
[ Suddenly Joh returns & he’s
not alone. ]
STUU: Hey guys, are you still
doing auditions?
SCENE 5
[ Chais & Jenni are watching
a movie when her phone
goes off. ]
CHAIS: Want me to pause it?
JENNI: No, it’s just a text. I
can answer it later.
[ She quickly glances at it
& then puts it away. ]
CHAIS: Who was that?
[ Jenni looks up at him. ]
CHAIS: What? I’m just curious.
It was Juan, wasn’t it?
I can’t believe you gave
him your number.
JENNI: Calm down, he’s just
a friend.
CHAIS: Listen babe, I don’t
want you to talk to him.
He seems like a creep.
JENNI: Well, I’m
sorry you
fell that way but you do
not get to decide who my
friends are.
[ She stands up, facing Chais. ]
JENNI: I’m just gonna go. See
you at school tomorrow.
CHAIS: You’re serious?
[ She walks out the door
leaving him standing there. ]
SCENE 6
“Hell no!
Absolutely not!”
STUU: Look, I know I haven’t
exactly gotten along with
either of you at points.
JOH: But he wrote a song.
And I think you should
hear it.
WEIS: Alright fine.
[ Weis & LeeVigh return to
the table. With
everyone else
gone, Stuu takes his position in
front of the mic, guitar in his hand.
He strums a few soft chords and then
powers into a mid-tempo love song. ]
Standing there, watching as Stuu digs
deep into his emotions. Weis can’t
help but stare. ]
LEEVIGH: Alright, okay.
[ He puts his hand up. ]
LEEVIGH: What do you think?
WEIS: As much as I may regret
this later, I think we found
our 3rd member.
Congratulations, I guess.
