SCENE 1:
Overnight shift, TA.
[ Jeszyca is sitting in the back
break room with Stuu, Joh,
Airynn, Weis & Ski.
]
JESZYCA: Anything exciting
happen since I’ve been
gone?
JOH: Not really.
SKI: You forget were set
to walk away with the
TA credit bonus.
I know you want that
raise.
JESZYCA: You’re beating days?
I bet Mark is sour.
SKI: Yeah, he’s not happy
and working overtime to
try and catch up.
WEIS: We’ll see in six days.
SKI: So how do you like
working with Hithe at
the Salon?
JESZYCA: Hithe is a good guy.
Despite what I originally
thought. And
everyone
else is great too.
[ Suddenly they hear a door
lifting & the noise of a truck
backing up. ]
SKI: Guess whose here.
[ He smiles at Jeszyca. ]
SCENE 2:
At Larrie’s apartment.
[ The door opens & Ace
enters seeing his cousin
passed out on the couch.
Smirking, he takes a hard
pillow & tosses it at him. ]
LARRIE: What the hell?
[ Larrie sits up fast. ]
ACE: You really shouldn’t
leave your door open.
LARRIE: Hey jerk.
How is Kyle doing?
ACE: He’s a little better
today.
So you took a vaca just
to sleep all day and
watch TV?
LARRIE: Maybe.
ACE: Just because you’re
single doesn’t mean you
should roll over and be
boring.
What’s Jess doing?
LARRIE: She’s visiting TA.
And I took this break for
a reason. I don’t
plan on
wasting it.
SCENE 3:
Back at TheAisles.
SKI: Your favorite vendor.
JESZYCA: You mean, the one
who refuses to accept the
fact that I don’t date men.
SKI: Bingo.
JESZYCA: Maybe it’s a good
time to make my escape
then.
See ya everyone.
[ She grabs her purse &
starts to head for the
front door.
Stopping for a second,
she looks around &
catches her breath. ]
“Hey!”
[ Jeszyca turns around
giving a faint smile. ]
JESZYCA: Hey Q, I was
just on my way out.
VENDOR Q: Jeszyca, it’s
been awhile.
JESZYCA: Yeah, I got a new
job.
I really should get going
though.
[ Jeszyca walks off & Q stands
there, staring as she walks. ]
SCENE 4:
Back at Larrie’s.
[ Jeszyca walks through the
front door. ]
LARRIE: Hey, you just missed
Ace.
[ She sits down in silence. ]
LARRIE: What’s wrong?
JESZYCA: Nothing.
You know
Q?
LARRIE: The TA vendor.
JESZYCA: Yeah, of course
I ran into him on my visit.
LARRIE: What did he say?
JESZYCA: Not much.
Just his
usual, creepy self.
LARRIE: I can’t even talk to
that guy. I
know what you
mean.
Well, I think I’m going to
call it a night.
JESZYCA: Okay, if I don’t see
you in the morning.
Good
luck.
LARRIE: Night.
SCENE 5:
Parking lot, downtown.
[ Jeszyca is parked with her
car off when another car
pulls in next to her.
She is startled by a knock
on her window & unlocks
the door. ]
JESZYCA: Thanks for
meeting me here.
VENDOR Q: Hey, when a
woman calls me in the
middle of the night.
Where else would I be.
JESZYCA: Don’t be an ass.
This isn’t that exactly.
VENDOR: Okay, then what
are you trying to say with
all this?
[ Instead of answering, Jeszyca
takes off her seat belt & gets
closer to Q.
Putting her hand in his lap, she
grabs onto his chin with her
other hand & slowly starts to
kiss him. ]
SCENE 6:
The next morning.
[ Larrie enters a store
dressed professionally &
sits down in a waiting
area.
A few minutes later, a female
approaches him.
They walk
into a back room & Larrie
takes a seat across from her. ]
MANAGER: Hi Larrie, I’m Charlotte.
[ She holds out her hand. ]
LARRIE: It’s
nice to meet you.
MANAGER: So, what brings you
Into our interview today?
LARRIE: I’m looking for growth
and I’m just not seeing that
where I am at now.
Too many are ahead of me.
MANAGER: I see.
And when
are you able to start with us?
LARRIE: Immediately.
