[ Knob Headz Greenery . . .Entrance Area. ]
[ Billy is staggering near the front end,
watching the activity going on in the
selling room through a glass door.
Steadying his walk, he ventures into
his best friend’s office space. ]
CHAIS: That was Ski.
[ He looks up, putting down his phone. ]
CHAIS: He wanted to congratulate us
on our first day.
BILLY: Cool, that was nice of him.
[ He sits across from Chais. ]
CHAIS: Look, I know you’re nervous
about opening The Lounge alone.
You’ll be fine. And if anything happens,
there’s security and I’m right next door.
BILLY: Yeah, I can handle it. Thanks.
Anyway, how are things going with
you and Jenni?
CHAIS: Well, she’s still not pregnant
if that tells you anything. I’m just
trying not to put any added pressure
on the situation.
BILLY: I understand. Well, I’ll see you
later at the ribbon cutting ceremony.
[ He leaves and Chais goes back to
gazing at his computer screen. ]
[ TA Store . . .Back Break Room ]
[ Scott is scrolling though a tablet doing
his weekly ordering when the door swings
open. He’s startled to attention, hearing it
crash into the wall. ]
“Sorry. Hey, I woke up and you
we’re gone. Just making sure
everything is alright.”
[ Erme approaches the table to confront
him but instead Scott grabs his things.
Standing and turning away from him. ]
SCOTT: No, everything is not all right!
Why would you do that?
[ He turns to face Erme, eyebrows raised. ]
ERME: Look, it’s not a big deal.
I’ve been around them my whole
life. I can tell they’re enjoying it.
SCOTT: You can’t be sure and anyway
it’s just not natural. On top of that, you
could actually be doing them harm.
How do you think your parents would
feel about this?
ERME: Okay, okay. I get it!
[ Maxx enters the room. ]
“You might want to lower your volume
unless you want management down
here with questions.”
[ He plainly states, pointing up at the cameras. ]
[ Erme quickly leaves, passing by Maxx. ]
MAXX: Whoa, what was that about?
SCOTT: Don’t worry about it.
Anyway, you know unless something
out of the ordinary happens, they never
check those.
MAXX: That’s true but it got little
Mensau to scram.
[ He laughs. ]
So, are we still venturing out to
homie ranch for cards tonight?
[ Scott sighs heavily. ]
SCOTT: Yeah, I guess so.
[ KHG: The Lounge. . . Outside Lot Area. ]
[ A crowd is gathered at the entrance. Filled
with Green agents, security, and scattered
customers. ]
[ Chais finishes speaking & cuts the ribbon,
smiling with Jenni & Billy standing beside
him.
He pecks his wife on the mouth. ]
JENNI: This is exciting. I’m so proud of
you.
CHAIS: I know. Two businesses by twenty-
eight.
That’s something even Dad hasn’t done.
BILLY: Yeah, it’s the first day. I would
hold your horses until we’re actually
gaining a profit.
CHAIS: We will be soon. Trust me.
There’s a bachelor party coming in
in a couple of hours so make sure
everyone is out an hour before.
BILLY: Got it!
JENNI: Well, I have to get back to
Care.
[ Billy heads inside The Lounge while
Chais walks Jenni to her vehicle. ]
[ TA Store . . .Outside Mark’s Office. ]
[ Mark opens his door, seeing Hahn
at the assistant’s desk with a blank
stare locked into his computer. ]
“I thought we decided to stop
watching porn up here.”
[ He starts to laugh and Hahn
doesn’t respond. ]
MARK: What’s up?
HAHN: Nothing was just doing a
scan of the cameras. That was added
to our checklist starting today.
MARK: Almost thirty years at this
business and they just now are
requiring it.
HAHN: Crazy! The other avenues
of TA already do this.
MARK: Yeah, well that’s because
that’s on Ace and me. Not the DM.
HAHN: Isn’t Chaises grand opening
today?
MARK: Oh yeah! Thanks for remind-
ing me that I wasn’t invited.
HAHN: Man, Ski’s gone. Chais ignores
you. At least Jai’s back home now.
MARK: I’m not so sure that’s a good
thing. Anyway, I’ll see you later.
[ Mark leaves, exiting for the night. ]
[ Earlier At The Lounge . . . ]
[ Billy has ushered all the customers out
and is setting up for a private experience.
Moments later, his solitude is interrupted
by the howls of many men waiting
impatiently outside the door. ]
[ He sighs, unlocking the entrance. ]
“Hey, I’m Rafeal. This is my best
man, Rediki and fiancé Monet.”
BILLY: Twins, nice! Welcome and
right this way.
[ They enter, followed by five more
dressed up groomsman. ]
[ The twins are set up across from each
other, Rafeal’s fiancé is on his lap. ]
REDIKI: You couldn’t take one night
off from being with the Misses. You’re
really becoming whipped brother.
MONET: Hey, I’m only here to try out
The Lounge.
I have my own things to do after.
RAFEAL: Really? Well watch what
those “things” are.
[ He grabs her close and they kiss. ]
REDIKI: Whatever!
[ He rolls his eyes, going to join the
others near the pool table. ]
[ Towne Ranch . . .That Night. ]
[ Maxx, Scott, and Brian are siting
in the barn at a table, ready to dive
into a game of Spades. ]
BRIAN: Is that the first time
either of you have met Erme’s
Dad?
MAXX: I’ve only been here once.
[ They both look at Scott. ]
SCOTT: Yes, why?
BRIAN: We’ve been friends with him
for months. Had a whole party here.
It’s pretty strange.
“He is strange.”
[ Scott whispers but no one hears. ]
SCOTT: I’ll go tell Erme were here.
He’s probably out with the horses.
[ Scott hurries down the dark path
headed toward the stable. Reaching
the entrance, he moves toward the
door that is slightly left open. ]
[ Peering through the crack, he sees Erme
from the back, standing behind a white
horse. He unfastens the strap of his
overalls, letting them tumble to the
ground.
Completely exposed now, Scott shudders
watching Erme's hips begin to thrust. ]
[ The Lounge . . . Party Continues. ]
[ Rediki has been ignoring the groom
all night. Sitting in a chair, he takes
out a can of beer from his pocket.
Immediately he is spotted by Billy. ]
“Hey, you can’t drink in here!
It’s against the law.”
[ Rediki smirks, taking a sip anyway.
Billy walks over to him. ]
BILLY: Throw it out now or I can
have security throw you out. Your
choice.
[ A tall man in all back walks inside
the room. Rafael comes over. ]
RAFAEL: Just leave.
REDIKI: What?
RAFAEL: You heard me. You’ve been
disrespectful all night. Just go.
And don’t bother showing up tomorrow
either!
[ Rediki is shocked by the serious look
on his face. He grabs his jacket off
the table, brushing Rafeal’s side as
he walks out. ]
