SCENE 1:
In the guy’s basement.
[ Stuu,
LeeVigh, & Weis
are
sitting around the
room. ]
LEEVIGH:
Okay. Let’s talk
about
subject matter.
STUU: Why
don’t we use
the song I
wrote? The one
I
auditioned with.
[ They
both look at Weis across
from them
on a chair. ]
WEIS:
That’s a solo thing. It’s
not right
for a band.
STUU:
Well, we could add to it.
LEEVIGH:
It would be better if
It was a
group effort.
WEIS:
Yeah, I agree.
[ Stuu
shrugs his shoulder. ]
STUU: Then why don’t we
go with
love? Since Lee
has a new
girlfriend and
you’ve
been in love
[ He
points at Weis. ]
What,
two…three times?
[ Stuu
rolls his eyes but
Weis
doesn’t see him. ]
SCENE 2:
Late
afternoon, at TA.
[ Amber
enters Mark’s office. ]
AMBER:
Hey, did our extra
work last
week pay off?
[ She sits
down. ]
MARK:
Nope. Ski’s team still
won. They deserved it
though,
it’s fine.
[ He
smiles at Amber. ]
AMBER:
Yeah. Speaking
of Ski, I
thought you had
a picture
of him and your
boys up,
where’d it go?
[ Mark
looks away. ]
MARK: Uh,
I had to take
It
down. Had some execs
in here
earlier.
AMBER: Oh,
I see.
Well, I
better go get
started. See you later.
[ She
quickly exits the
office
& makes her
way
downstairs. ]
SCENE 3:
Back at band
rehearsal.
“It can’t
just be about
love
either.”
STUU:
True. A personal
experience
would be
better.
[ Weis
stands up. ]
WEIS: I
got it, then.
How about
you never
in life
wanting to have
sex?
LEEVIGH:
What?
STUU:
That’s a decision I
made a
long time ago.
What about
it?
LEEVIGH:
Just curious, why?
STUU: I
just have never had
a desire
to. I don’t know.
It’s hard
to explain.
WEIS:
Well, think about it.
[ Weis
hands Stuu his
notepad
and a pen. ]
STUU: This
is too much.
[ He puts
the stuff down
&
excuses himself from
the room.
]
SCENE 4:
Front break
room, TA.
[ Lacey is
eating her lunch
when Amber
sits down
next to
her. ]
AMBER: Hey
girl.
LACEY:
Good you’re here.
[ She
moves closer. ]
AMBER: What’s
going on?
LACEY: How
well do you
know Mark,
the boss?
AMBER:
Pretty good, why?
LACEY:
Ever since the casino
weekend,
he’s been acting
weird
towards me.
AMBER:
Wait a minute, you
were there?
LACEY:
Yeah, with a friend.
I had no
idea Mark & Ace
would show
up.
AMBER:
Wow.
LACEY: Is
he dating anyone?
[ Amber
recalls the missing
picture. ]
AMBER:
Mark is engaged. Has
been for
awhile.
LACEY: You
mean, I was
involved in
an affair?
SCENE 5:
Outside, after
rehearsal.
[ Stuu
& LeeVigh are talking
in the
driveway. ]
LEEVIGH:
Well, that was fun.
STUU: Oh
yeah. At least we
got part
of it done without
a major
blow out.
Too bad it’s
at my expense.
LEEVIGH:
What do you mean?
STUU: I’m just
not comfortable
putting myself
out there like
that and
Weis knows it.
He takes
advantage.
LEEVIGH:
Well, don’t worry about
It. I’m not gonna judge you.
And Weis
will come around.
[ Stuu
turns to leave & a paper
falls out
of his jacket. LeeVigh
picks it
up & calls to him. ]
LEEVIGH:
Wait, what’s this?
Application
for being a
donor.
[ Stuu
takes the paper back
&
leaves. ]
SCENE 6:
Outside Mark’s
office.
[ Mark is
locking up when
Amber
approaches him. ]
“Can we
talk?”
MARK: I
was just leaving
but what’s
going on?
AMBER:
Tell me the truth,
did
something happen on
your
casino weekend?
Lacey told
me you’ve been
acting
strange.
[ Marks
looks right at her. ]
MARK: I
have to pick up my
son.
AMBER: Don’t
lie to me Mark,
I of all
people understand
what you’re
going through
but if
something happened,
you need
to tell Ski.
[ Mark
stays silent. ]
AMBER: I
can’t believe this.
You're the last person I'd
expect this from.
If you don’t say anything,
then I will.
