" 1 Last Shop (Part 2) "

SCENE 1: Later the same night…

[ Kyle walks up to a back door.

Showing the bouncer his ID,

he enters & finds a seat at

the bar. ]

“What kind of place is this?”

[ He wonders looking around

& seeing mainly women

waiting in the audience. ]

[A female bartender spots

Kyle sitting alone. ]

“Can I get you a drink?”

KYLE: Yes please.  A Corona.

[ She takes the top off &

hands it to him. ]

KYLE: Thanks.  My friend

asked me here.  I have

no idea why. 

BARTENDER: What’s his name?

KYLE: Marty, why?

BARTENDER: You really don’t know.

KYLE: Know what?

[ She smiles at him & walks

away. ]

[ Suddenly the room goes dark

except for a blue spotlight on

the stage. ]

“Ladies, put your hands

together for Party Marty!“

KYLE: Oh my god. 

SCENE 2: In Weis’ bedroom.

[ Joh walks in, sitting down

on the bed. ]

WEIS: I thought I said not

to wake me!  I’m still

totally freaked out

about last night.

JOH:  Well, I don’t think

Trey called the cops, if

that’s your concern.

How did he seem when

you walked away?

WEIS: I couldn’t bare to look.

His bragging pissed me

off to no end though.

JOH: Yeah, didn’t that happen

with Landyn also? I mean,

you broke up with him

pretty randomly over a

 fight, right?

WEIS: Okay, what does that

have to do with anything?

JOH: I’m just saying, you’re

almost eighteen.  Maybe

its time to man up and

apologize for once.

You’re not always right.

[ Joh leaves the room & Weis

buries himself underneath

the covers. ]

SCENE 3: At TA, In Mark’s office.

[ Mark is seated at the desk &

Hahn is standing facing him. ]

HAHN: So the commercial is

set to play on all screens

once an hour now.

MARK: That’s awesome.

Thanks bud. 

[ Mark is searching through

his desk drawer. ]

HAHN: Sure thing.  You

lose something?

MARK: Besides my mind.

Yeah, I can’t seem to

locate my spare store

keys. 

Hopefully they turn up

before the store shuts

down tonight for waxing.

[ Suddenly there’s a knock on

the door & Landyn enters. ]

MARK: Wow, you’re early.

For a change.

[ Landyn smiles. ]

LANDYN: Yeah, we should

go over what you want me

to say at the presentation.

HAHN: Cool. See you two later.

SCENE 4: At Kyle’s apartment.

[ Kyle is sitting on the couch

with Marty at the other end

counting his money.  ]

MARTY: 371, 372…Three

hundred seventy-three

dollars.

KYLE: In one night?

Screw you chico

I can’t even make that

in a week. 

MARTY: Well, you’re

in the wrong industry

my friend.

KYLE: Yeah, I see.

MARTY: Let’s go get food.

[ Marty starts to get up. ]

KYLE: Wait, a second. While

you we’re on stage I got

a strange invite from this

older woman.

[ Kyle hands him a note.

Marty reads it & smirks. ]

MARTY: Yeah, that was

my boss.  She wants you

to audition, I guess.

Hilarious, right?

[ Marty begins to laugh

& Kyle just stares at him. ]

SCENE 5: Back at Joh & Weis’. . .

[  Weis finally comes downstairs. ]

JOH: Hey, you had tons of mail.

Something from school came.

[ Weis sits down on the couch

& starts reading a letter. ]

“Dear Weis L Kardin, Although you

placed 2^nd to the Valedictorian,

at 17 and nine months, you are

the youngest student to walk

at a MSCC graduation.”

JOH: That’s pretty cool.

WEIS: Yeah, I guess. Wait,

there’s more. . .

They want me to give

tomorrow’s speech!

JOH: See, you should really

check the box more often. 

WEIS: Trey’s ignoring me.

The last thing I wanna do

tonight is prepare a speech.

JOH: Then don’t. I invited

some people over.

[ They hear a car horn outside.

Soon Stuu & Tiesun have 

joined them in the living room. ]

JOH: So, you’re the girl from

the video?

TIESUN: That’s me.

STUU: So guess who got

Valedictorian.  This guy!

[ Weis looks away, Joh stays quiet. ]

SCENE 6: Still at Kyle's. . .

[ Marty is almost knocked out

when Kyle approaches him. ]

MARTY: Good shower?

KYLE: Yeah, I’ve had a lot of

time to think.

MARTY:  Passing out for work

soon?

KYLE: No, because I decided

I’m not going back.

[ Marty sits up in surprise. ]

MARTY: What are you talking

about loco?

KYLE: I’m barely paying bills.

I’ll never advance at TA.

That’s why I’m taking your

bosses offer.

[ Meanwhile, Larrie & Jeszyca

are in their living room talking. ]

JESZYCA: I can’t believe you we’re

tied up for three hours all for

some sex fantasy.
LARRIE: Hey, don’t hate.  Yeah,

I didn’t expect her to take it

that far.  But once we got 

going it turned out great.

Trust me, there was a very

happy ending.

JESZYCA: Gross!

SCENE 7: The next morning   

at MSCC Graduation.

[ The crowd applauds & Weis

exits the stage. As the crowd

dispearses, he sees a familiar

face. ]

WEIS: Hey, thanks for coming.

Didn’t think you noticed my

missed calls.

I’m sorry I lost my mind. 

I wish we could go back

to the way things we’re.

[ Trey hands him a paper. ]

WEIS: Is this your new number?

TREY: No, my aunt is a counselor.

I think you should give her a

call. It would be good for you.

WEIS: Wait, what? Hold on.

TREY: Goodbye Weis.

[ Across town, Jeszyca wakes

up to a knock on her door.

She sees Ski on the other 

side. ]

[ 5 minutes later she comes

back inside as Larrie comes

out of his room. ]

LARRIE: Who was that?

JESZYCA: That was Ski.

They found out about

everything.

And I’m fired.

SCENE 1

[ Early morning
there’s a knock
on Mark’s office
door. ]

‘Come in.’

ACE: Hey Mark.
MARK: What’s up?
ACE: Just wanted to
clear up some things
about the Salon
opening.
MARK: Sure. Only
seven days left.
You ready?
ACE: Yup. I hired
some of my girl’s
stylist friends.
New furniture is
coming at one.
MARK: That’s great
ACE: Yeah, I’m pretty
excited.
MARK: So, you worked
out the finance issue
with Jim?
ACE: Not exactly.
That’s actually
what I wanted
to talk to you

[ Mark’s phone rings. ]

MARK: Sorry man.

[ Ace gets up. ]

ACE: It’s cool.
I’ll just tell you
later.

[ Ace leaves. Walking
through the back door
he bumps into someone
coming in ]


SCENE 2

‘What are you
doing here?’

HITHE: The delivery
needs a signature.
And since you’ve
been M.I.A. all
morning they
called me.

ACE: Sorry. I just
got a lot on my
mind right now.
HITHE: Well, you
got my transfer
approved right?
Mark knows I’m
. . .leaving.
ACE: Not quite.

[ They continue
walking. Passing
by Kristyn, she rolls
her eyes at Hithe. ]

‘He makes me
sick.’

MONICA: I know. You
think he told Ace
how he’s getting
the money?
KRISTYN: Doubt it.
Of course Amber
got the promotion.
MONICA: Yeah, I
know. Kyle’s in an
uproar over it.
KRISTYN: He really
thought he had it?
MONICA: Girl, I guess.


SCENE 3

“Everything is
top of the line.
I’m putting you
ahead before we
even open.”

ACE: Wow these
chairs alone must
have cost a fortune.
Are you sure we
can afford this?
HITHE: My man,
Acer. Everything
here is good.
All we need now
is to finagle that
transfer out of
Mark.

ACE: Well, that’s
easier said than
done.
HITHE: Right. I
should probably
leave. Later.

[ Hithe exits the Salon
walking outside onto
the parking lot. ]

‘Hithe! Hold on.’

[ He slowly turns. ]

HITHE: Mark, hey.
MARK: Glad you
stopped by. You’re
the last one on my
list.
HITHE: List?
MARK: Yeah, I’m
throwing Ace a
surprise opening
party tonight
Be here at ten?
HITHE: Uh. . .
sure.
Sounds great!


SCENE 4

[ Meanwhile there’s
a sudden knock on
Markis’ back door. ]

‘Can I help. . .’

[ Tiesun sees Marisa
smiling back at her. ]

TIESUN: What are
you doing here?
MARISA: I need to
talk to Markis. It’s
kind of important.
TIESUN: Oh I’m
sure. Thing is. . .
we don’t just let
any random
person walk up
in here.

MARKIS: Whose
at the door?
TIESUN: See
for yourself.

[ She walks away. ]

MARKIS: Marisa,
right?
To what do I owe
the pleasure?
MARISA: I have
a favor to ask
of you.
MARKIS: Okay?
MARISA: Yes. It
has to do with a
certain ex-friend
of yours.
My ex-boyfriend.
He did us dirty.
And now we need
to execute our
revenge.


SCENE 5

[ Nightshift at
Aisle 6n9. ]

‘Can you believe
there’s a party
going on upstairs
and we’re out here
watching the store?’

STUU: Yay for being
underage, right?
WEIS: Yup.
JOH: Well, I’ve been
assigned up front.

[ He starts walking. ]

JOH: Try not to kill
each other while
I’m gone.


[ Meanwhile upstairs. ]

‘Hey Kristyn, Monica,
Kyle. . .’

[ Kyle rolls his eyes
as Mark walks past
him. ]

MARK: Thanks for
coming everyone.

[ He finishes his
glass of wine as
Amber approaches. ]

MARK: You talked
to Karie, right?
They are coming.
AMBER: Of course.

She’s texting me
when they get
here.


SCENE 6

‘Let me get this
straight. . .’

MARKIS: You want
to hire my boys to
scare Airynn for
you.
MARISA: Oh, not
just scare.
I want him so
terrified that he
begs for our
forgiveness.
.MARKIS: What are
we gonna do
exactly?
Run up on him
and yell boo.

[ He laughs. ]

MARISA: This isn’t
a damn joke.
I’m serious.
Don’t you have
guns or something?
MARKIS: Really?
No, but if you
wanna end this
I have a better
idea.


SCENE 7

‘Did you really need
chips and salsa
this late at night?’

KARIE: You know
me and my cravings.

[ She comes behind
him and puts on
a blindfold. ]

ACE: Hey. You
remember what
happened the
last time I was
like this?

[ She laughs. ]

KARIE: Just
follow me.

[ Leading him up
the stairs they walk
into a dark room
and Karie turns on
the light. . . ]

‘SURPRISE!!!’

[ Ace sees everyone
standing there and
Mark walking toward
him. ]

MARK: When we first
had the idea to open
the Salon, Jim wasn’t
too sure about
hiring you.
But I convinced him.
And now you’re six
days until opening.

Congratulations Ace,
you did it.

[ Mark takes a sip
of wine, handing
Ace a glass. ]

ACE: Listen, Mark.
I have something
to tell you.

[ The party goes silent. ]

ACE: I’m taking Hithe
with me.

201 PSYCHO [ SEASON PREMIERE ]

( Twisted&Tragic/#3 )

'Get away from me…now!'

HUSBAND: What?

You need to calm down.

Remember what happened the last time?

KRISTYN: Stop telling me what to do!

HUSBAND: Something's wrong with you…

You're getting all these mood swings

and you're just not the same anymore

KRISTYN: Yeah, and do you have any idea

why I'm like this? [ pauses for a second ]

. . .It's you!

HUSBAND: Me? What have I done???

KRISTYN: You're always stressing me out

and bothering me with dumb, unimportant shit

that doesn't matter!

HUSBAND: Well, I'm sorry…

I didn't realize it was so annoying for me

to show concern for my own wife!

[ Kristyn stares at him then turns away ]

HUSBAND: I'm going to pick up our kids

from school…

Remember them? Or are they just another

cramp in your style these days.

[ Turns around and the door slams as he leaves ]

[ At TA Amber, Monica, and Dina are working

when Mark comes up with a new girl. ]

MARK: Morning everyone…

This is our new night cashier Jeszyca

JESZYCA: Hi

MARK: She'll be starting in a few weeks

...Amber can you show her around for me?

AMBER: OK

MARK: Thanks, I appreciate it [ He leaves ]

JESZYCA: So, is this where I'll be working?

AMBER: Yeah, I guess they're only running

the self checkouts at night…

They haven't told us much

JESZYCA: OK, that makes sense…

Is this easy to learn?

AMBER: Yeah...

All you really have to do is watch

and if someone is stuck you'll see a light over

their lane

JESZYCA: Wow, that's it?

It's must getting pretty boring.[ smiles ]

AMBER: Boring? Oh, no... Trust me

there's always something interesting

going on around here

JESZYCA: Well, that's good!

Thanks for helping me Amber. . .

Maybe I'll see you around

[ Amber looks up & sees Jeszyca looking right at her ]

[ At TA's checkout lanes. ]

MONICA: So, it's true…

We are going 24 hours soon

DINA: Yeah, were going to have a whole new shift

and we don't even have a manager for this one

MONICA: Well, I'm sure we're getting one soon…

I mean, Mark is so busy with hiring new

people right now

DINA: I guess, but it's been over a week

and it's not even been mentioned

MONICA: There's nothing we can do about it

but wait and see

[ A customer comes into Monica's lane. ]

MONICA: Morning…

Did you find everything you were

looking for today?

[ Back at Kristyn's/ Sitting on the couch she's shaking

trying to calm down and her husband comes in ]

[ stands up ] KRISTYN: Hi

HUSBAND: Hey…

KRISTYN: Where are the kids?

HUSBAND: I thought it would be better

if they went to my mom's for the night

KRISTYN: Oh

[ Her husband starts to go upstairs… ]

KRISTYN: Wait…

I'm sorry OK

HUSBAND: Yeah OK

KRISTYN: Seriously, I couldn't help myself

. . .I just lost control

HUSBAND: I know, but this isn't normal Kristyn

It has to be something else going on...

KRISTYN: Well, I don't need any help

I'll just deal with it on my own

HUSBAND: Are you sure?

KRISTYN: I promise

[ Kristyn's cell rings/ She sees it's Hithe

and ignores it ]

HUSBAND: Who was that?

KRISTYN: Just work…I'll call back later

Let's go upstairs and relax

HUSBAND: Alright

[ At Hithe's apartment someone knocks on the door. ]

HITHE: Hey, I didn't think you would show…

SKI: Yeah, well I wanted to check

and see how you we're doing

. . .So what are you doing?

HITHE: Not much, just watching a movie

[ They walk into the living room. ]

SKI: Damn! What you do?

Jack a liquor store...

HITHE: Not hardly! [ laughs ]

...No, I'm just taking some time to enjoy myself

SKI: Yeah, I can see that…

So what about work?

HITHE: I don't know…

I haven't really thought about it [ opens a beer ]

SKI: What?

HITHE: I mean, in another week I'll get myself

together and start looking…

But right now I'm just gonna take it easy

SKI: Well, it's won't be real easy when you're

stretched out on the street somewhere

HITHE: Huh? Don't worry, I'm fine…

SKI: And what about Kristyn?

HITHE: She won't even call me…

SKI: Well, I imagine it's hard to call you

with her husband's being right there

and he seems very protective to me

HITHE: I guess…

But it seems like one minute she wants me

around and the next minute she doesn't

SKI: Yeah, I know

HITHE: Oh well [ looks down ]

SKI: So this is really what you do all day?

Sit around in your underwear and watch TV. . .

HITHE: Yeah, pretty much! [ laughs ]

SKI: Well, I have to leave and get Weis soon

HITHE: OK, thanks for coming by Ski…

Maybe we can go out some night soon

SKI: Yeah, maybe…

[ Back at the store/ In the break room. ]

AMBER: Man, we're so busy today!

MONICA: I know, this is the first break

I've had since I got here

AMBER: Me too

and we only have a few hours left

MONICA: So, you hear from Hithe lately

How is he doing?

AMBER: Fine, I guess…

But he's not really doing anything

MONICA: Really?

AMBER: Yeah, getting fired has 

messed with him

MONICA: Aww, that's too bad

Well, tell him I said 'Hi' when you see him

again

AMBER: OK, I will…

[ Monica walks out and Mark bumps into her. ]

MARK: Oops, sorry Monica.

MONICA: It's OK…

Uh, are you alright?

MARK: Yeah, just been doing interviews

and trying to balance everything else

[ They start walking to the front. ]

MONICA: Wow.

Sounds like you need some help…

MARK: Yeah, I need a lot of it. . .

and I'm having problems finding a new manager

. . .Things are really hectic rite now!

MONICA: Yeah, I know…

[ Monica starts walking back to her lane/

Suddenly someone in a black hoodie runs right

passed them. ]

MARK: Hey, slow down! [ sees something in his hand ]

[ Mark runs outside and grabs a hold of him. ]

MARK: Drop the shit or I'll drop you!

[ The man throws the food and as he turns around for a

second his hood falls down/ Mark bends down to pick up

the groceries then turns around and Monica's standing there. ]

MARK: Can you believe that?  Man!

[ Monica's still standing there in silence. ]

MARK: Uh, Monica?

[ snaps out of it ] MONICA: Yeah. . .

No, I can't believe that.

Some people are just really desperate, I guess

. . .You OK?

MARK: Yeah, let's get back inside

[ Her husband is awake and Kristyn is turned over/ He slowly

gets down and picks up her cell phone off the nightstand ]

KRISTYN: Where you going? [ turns around ]

HUSBAND: Nowhere, I was just…

KRISTYN: Wait, what are you doing?

HUSBAND: Just using your phone…

I can't find mine

KRISTYN: Yours is right over there on the dresser

Did you look at all? [ takes it back ]

Uh, why were you in the call log?

HUSBAND: Well, I was just…

KRISTYN: Just what?

HUSBAND: Why is Hithe calling you so much?

KRISTYN: I don't know

HUSBAND: Well, how come you didn't

answer it earlier?

KRISTYN: I didn't wanna talk. . .

But you shouldn't have had my phone

to begin with [ gets up ]

HUSBAND: Where you going?

KRISTYN: I'm going out…

I need to be away from you 

HUSBAND: No!

KRISTYN: What? You can't stop me…

HUSBAND: We're gonna sit down and talk about this!

…Why can't you just be honest with me?

KRISTYN: There's nothing to be honest about…

HUSBAND: I'm not stupid, Kristyn!

You know what I think?

I think, you've been sneaking around behind my back

KRISTYN: Well, you can keep thinking that…

I'm leaving

[ Her husband grabs her hand & she turns around ]

HUSBAND: Kristyn, wait!

Please….let's just sit down

KRISTYN: I said, NO!

[ She smacks him in the face & pushes him off of her/

Falling to the floor he hits his head on the nightstand ]

[ Kristyn stands there in shock as he just lays there

still on the floor. ]
