SCENE 1:
Afternoon, TA Salon.
[ Ace, Hithe, Sascha, Jeszyca
& Karie are talking in the
break room. ]
KARIE: Alright guys.
So we
decided to meet Saturday
at 9 to get set up.
Is everyone good with
that time?
[ They all agree. ]
JESZYCA: We should have
people coming in all day.
SASCHA: Yeah, we passed
out flyers for hours.
KARIE: Great, thanks.
Since we mostly get
female clients, I think
it’s a good idea to get
a male to do cuts too.
ACE: I agree.
KARIE: I invited my friend
from school, Lorenzo
to help us out.
HITHE: Sounds good.
[ A few minutes later, the
meeting clears out except
Ace & Karie. ]
ACE: You’re doing a great
job.
KARIE: As long as everyone
does what we talked about.
ACE: As many times as you
drilled us, I think we all got
it babe.
[ He laughs. ]
SCENE 2:
At Mark & Ski’s place.
[ Ski & Hithe are talking
on the phone. ]
HITHE: So congratulations,
I heard you kicked day
team’s ass.
SKI: Not to brag, but we
did end up getting twice
as many as them.
HITHE: You go boy!
SKI: Yeah, I’m putting together
a night party to celebrate
next week.
HITHE: Cool, I’ll be there.
SKI: Anyway, I thought you
had something to tell me
earlier.
HITHE: Yeah, I don’t know
exactly how to say this
so I’ll just come out with
it.
I filled out papers a little
while ago to start the
adoption process.
SKI: You’re serious?
That’s great news!
SCENE 3:
At LeeVigh’s work office.
[ The team leads & managers
are having a meeting. ]
MANAGER: Are there any
suggestions on how we
can improve our monitoring
of employees?
TESSA: Yes, I think we
should listen daily and
score weekly.
[ LeeVigh raises his hand. ]
LEEVIGH: Nah, I believe that’s
too much. Most
of my team
is good and we don’t want
them to feel over managed.
What about every two?
[ Tessa stares at LeeVigh. ]
[ After a vote, everyone
starts to leave. ]
TESSA: What was that?
LEEVIGH: My honest opinion.
Why is there a problem?
TESSA: No, I just thought
you should have my
back considering we’re
dating.
[ She leaves the office. ]
SCENE 4:
Next morning, TA Salon.
[ The team is inside when
Karie enters with a new
employee. ]
KARIE: This is Lorenzo.
[ He waves. ]
LORENZO: Nice to meet you.
And hello ladies.
[ Hithe rolls his eyes, walking
away & Ace follows him. ]
KARIE: You can set up down
there.
[ Sascha walks up to Karie. ]
SASCHA: Don’t worry, everything
should go smooth.
Hey, there’s
already people waiting outside.
That’s a good sign.
KARIE: I know, it’s so exciting.
Just hope Lorenzo doesn’t
get into it with anyone.
He does have a way about
him sometimes.
SCENE 5:
That night, TA.
“Larrie to the upstairs
office. “
[ Larrie enters & shuts
the door, seeing Ski
sitting at the desk. ]
LARRIE: What are we
doing in Mark’s office?
SKI: I’ve just been having
a weird feeling lately about
Mark. He’s been
acting way
different.
Then I come up here and
he’s taken down the pictures
of me and the kids.
LARRIE: Yeah, what are you
thinking?
SKI: I’m confused. And now
this.
[ He hands Larrie his phone
& reads the text out loud. ]
LARRIE: Can you come home
on lunch. We
need to talk.
Oh man, what does he have
to tell you? I
wonder.
SCENE 6:
Earlier at the Salon event.
[ Lorenzo & Sascha are talking
In between customers. ]
LORENZO: Are you single?
SASCHA: Really, that’s the first
question you choose to ask me.
And no, I have a boyfriend.
LORENZO: Well, damn then.
But are you happy?
[ He smirks at Sascha. ]
SASCHA: Yes. I am.
LORENZO: And what about
Jeszyca over there?
SASCHA: No chance. She
doesn’t date men.
LORENZO: I see, I see.
[ Hithe walks over all of
a sudden. ]
HITHE: Is there a problem
here?
[ He looks at Lorenzo. ]
LORENZO: No, not unless
you want there to be.
HITHE: Excuse me.
[ Hithe starts to confront
him but stops when he
sees Karie’s face from
across the room. ]
SASCHA: Guys, knock it off!
Customers are coming.
SCENE 7:
Back to that night.
[ Ski arrives home & walks
into the living room where
Mark is waiting for him. ]
SKI: What’s going on?
[ Mark looks down before
he starts to speak. ]
MARK: I need to tell you
about the casino weekend.
SKI: Oh. What about it?
MARK: You know that new
cashier I told you about.
SKI: Yeah, Lacey right?
MARK: Yes, I didn’t plan
on this or anything but
she was there.
I had a few too many
drinks, Ace had went
back to the room &
we.
SKI: What did you do?
MARK: We kissed but I
stopped it. I’m
so sorry.
[ Ski sits across from him,
stunned to silence. ]
