113 WHATEVER [ SEASON FINALE ]

[ Ski's driving around with Weis. ]

SKI: So, what do you wanna do today?

WEIS: Well, I was thinking we could

get something to eat and go to the park

maybe...

SKI: Oh yeah?

That sounds like a date

WEIS: I know...

What do you think?

SKI: I think that's a good idea

WEIS: Cool, I was hoping you'd say that!

[ At the store/ Mark's waiting on Hithe. ]

HITHE: Morning Mark

MARK: Uh yeah, We need to talk

HITHE: OK, what's going on?

MARK: I talked to the store owner

and he's been getting lots of complaints

from associates about you...

HITHE: What about?

MARK: Flirting with girls in the store

and just not taking your job very seriously

HITHE: Uh, I happen to take my job very seriously

Is that it?

MARK: No and people are saying you got Kristyn

pregnant...

HITHE: What does that have to do with anything?

MARK: Listen Hithe, since you got this job

we've had a lot of problems and now you're

making others uncomfortable around here

HITHE: What are you trying to say?

MARK: I'm saying, I think it's best if we let

you go...

HITHE: What? You're firing me.

MARK: I'm sorry, Hithe...

[ Hithe walks away/ Dina comes in & passes him ]

[ yells ] HITHE: Yeah, keep walking

But this is far from over bitch.

[ Ski & Weis are walking through the park. ]

WEIS: Let's sit over here away from everything...

SKI: OK

So, what do you wanna do?

WEIS: Well, it just so happens I brought

something for us

SKI: Oh yeah, what?

WEIS: This [ holds up & shows him ]

SKI: Where'd you get that?

WEIS: A friend

SKI:...I didn't know you did drugs

WEIS: It's just a blunt [ gets out a lighter]

SKI: Are you crazy?

WEIS: What? No one can see us

over here...

We're totally hidden

SKI: I don't know...

WEIS: Well, I'm gonna... [ lights it ]

[ Ski sits there watching & looking around. ]

WEIS: Here [ hands it to him ]

SKI: What? No, that's OK [ shakes head ]

WEIS: You've never tried it, huh?

Come on, I brought it for both of us

SKI: I don't know

WEIS: Don't you trust me? No pressure

 but I won't let anything happen to you...

[ At Hithe's, he's sitting on the couch

drinking a beer & his cell rings. ]

KRISTYN: Hey, it's me...

Why aren't you at work?

HITHE: Cuz I got fired!

KRISTYN: What?

HITHE: Mark knows about us...

He knows about everything!

KRISTYN: But he can't do that!

HITHE: Well, he did...

I have to go, I'm sorry

KRISTYN: Are you OK?

HITHE: Yeah, I'll be fine [ finishes beer ]

I'll talk to you later

KRISTYN: OK...Wait, Hithe!

HITHE: Yeah?

KRISTYN: Just don't do anything stupid,

alright?

[ At the park, Weis is lighting a cigarette

& Ski is sitting next to him. ]

SKI: Wow, I feel weird...

WEIS: Duh! [ starts laughing ]

Wanna eat after this?

SKI: Yeah, I'm starving...

[ smiles ] WEIS: I figured you would be

[ Back at Hithe's/ Still drinking & his cell rings]

AMBER: I can't believe Mark fired you!

HITHE: Well, I can...

He's never liked me

AMBER: Maybe it wasn't him...

Someone else could have talked to Jim

HITHE: Yeah, but Mark just hates me

...He's always looking down on me

AMBER: Well, maybe Ski could talk to him

HITHE: No, I'm gonna settle this myself

[ Finishes another beer & sits it down]

AMBER: What do you mean?

HITHE: I'm going down there

AMBER: I don't think that's such a

good idea, Hithe...

HITHE: No, it's fine...

I'm just gonna go down there & talk to

Mark

AMBER: Hithe, you can't... [ the line goes dead ]

[ Back at the park Ski & Weis are laying

on the grass ]

SKI: Man, I'm soo full!

WEIS: Yeah, me too...

SKI: I'm not surprised...

You ate yours & some of mine.

[ starts laughing ] WEIS: Sorry, it was really good

SKI: It's alright [ smiles at him ]

WEIS: The suns going down...

SKI: Yeah, I'm so relaxed

I don't wanna move...

WEIS: Well, I got one more idea

SKI: What's that?

WEIS: This...

[ Weis leans over & starts kissing Ski/ He falls back

onto him & Ski doesn't notice his cell vibrate. ]

[ Hithe's sitting in the store lot/ Sees Mark come

out & walks toward him. ]

HITHE: Hey Mark

MARK: What are you doing here?

HITHE: I need to know, why Mark...

What is the real reason you fired me?

MARK: Hithe, I already told you...

HITHE: Yeah, a bunch of crap!

I know, you just don't like me

MARK: My opinion of you has nothing to do

with this...I'm not even the one who told

Jim

HITHE: Yeah, then who did?

MARK: It was Dina!

Do you honestly think I wanna be sitting

here all day long?

No, but there's no one else now.

[ Amber walks up ] HITHE: You're full of shit!

I know the real reason...

AMBER: Come on, Hithe...let's go!

HITHE: No, I'm not finished yet!

[ Back at the park ]

WEIS: Damn, that was nice.

SKI: Yeah, I know! [ smiles ]

Hold on, I got a voicemail...

VM: Hey, it's Amber...Hithe's drunk & going

to talk to Mark

Meet me there, please hurry!

SKI: Shit! We gotta go!

WIES: Where?

SKI: To the store, come on!

[ The store parking lot... ]

MARK: It's OK, Amber...

I wanna hear this, why?

HITHE: It's cuz of Ski, that's why...

MARK: Ski has nothing to do with this!

HITHE: Oh yeah? I think you're jealous

MARK: Yeah, cuz you have so much

for me to be jealous of...

HITHE: You're right! I do...

We're close and it drives

you insane, admit it.

[ Ski walks up] AMBER: OK, this has gone far enough!

SKI: What the hell is going on?

HITHE: Oh hey Ski, perfect timing...

Mark is jealous & that's why he fired me!

SKI: What! You fired him?

MARK: Ski, I had to...

HITHE: Whatever, you know what I think?

I think you're just a pathetic person who

preys on people way too young for him!

MARK: Yeah, well at least I'm smart

enough to keep my dick in my pants

and not impregnate married

coworkers.

[ Hithe stands there for a second, then goes right up to

Mark & punches him in the face/ Ski immediately

gets in the middle of them. ]

SKI: Calm the hell down,

Hithe! This is unnecessary.

[ feels his lip ] MARK: I'm bleeding,

[ Goes right to swing back. ]

SKI: Mark,stop!

AMBER: Hithe, get over here!

[ Sirens start going off & a police car pulls into

the parking lot ]

SKI: Great! You two are screwed.

[ sighs ] AMBER: This is not happening right

now...

[ A police officer jumps out, arresting Mark & Hithe/

Leaving Ski & Amber in the parking lot as they're

taken away ]

[ At the police station/ Mark & Hithe are in a cell

together ]

[ coughs ] HITHE: Look, I'm sorry I hit you...

MARK: Yeah, OK

HITHE: Really, I'm not the person

everyone thinks I am...

and I'm sick of always having to defend that!

MARK: I'm not preying on your friend,

Ski either!  

HITHE: I know...

MARK: Look as much as you don't believe me...

I didn't wanna fire you

[ Ski walks up to the cell. ]

HITHE: Ski, hey!

SKI: Yeah, I'm not here to get you...

Amber's on her way

[ looks down ] HITHE: Oh

SKI: Come on, Mark...

Let's get out of here!

[ Ski &  Mark walk outside. ]

SKI: I can't believe he hit you.

I'm so pissed off.

MARK: It's OK, Ski...

SKI: No, it's not

MARK: He's under a lot of pressure right

now

SKI: Yeah, but that's no excuse

for what he said about you

MARK: I understand though...

Your his best friend and he wants to protect you

SKI: I guess you're right.

MARK: Thanks for bailing me out though...

I really appreciate it

SKI: It's no problem...

That's what friends are for, right?

MARK: Yeah...

So friend, wanna go to my place and watch

a movie or something?

SKI: Sure, that sounds good!

JIM: Great! Let's go talk about some

things in your office

MARK: OK sure

[ Hithe sees Kristyn & walks up to her. ]

HITHE: Hey, how are you feeling?

KRISTYN: Not so good

HITHE: Aw, I wish I knew how to help you...

I've never had a baby before

KRISTYN: Yeah, I have...I'll be fine

HITHE: But what about your husband?

KRISTYN: What about him?

[ Dina sneaks by them. ]

[ Back up front with Dina, Monica, & Amber. ]

[ talking to Monica ] DINA: I overheard Hithe talking to

Kristyn just now...

MONICA: Yeah, so?

DINA: And he was saying he wanted to

help her. . .with a baby!

MONICA: Oh, maybe you misunderstood

and anyways, it's not our business

DINA: I know what I heard!

And if Hithe got a girl he's working with pregnant

that's pretty serious

MONICA: Well, Kristyn's not a little girl

and I'm sure she can take care of this on

her own

[ Amber hears them/ Goes up to Hithe. ]

[ turns him around ] AMBER: What is going on, Hithe...

Did you get Kristyn pregnant?

HITHE: What? Come over here...

I need right now

AMBER: What were you thinking?

[ Marks comes up ] HITHE: I don't know...

DINA: Are you sure that's wise?

I mean, look at these lines!

HITHE: It's fine...

I'll take over your lane

[ Hithe smiles & Dina smirks at him as she leaves. ]

[ Ski enters & Mark comes up to him. ]

SKI: Hey, is it OK if I parked right in front

MARK: Yeah, that's fine...

while she's going through all this

Damn, if only...

AMBER: Only what? She wasn't married?

HITHE: Yeah, I have to get out of here...

and that bitch over there keeps giving me dirty

looks

AMBER: I know, I can't stand her...

In fact, I'm gonna settle this right now!

HITHE: Amber.

[ walks right to Dina ] AMBER: Look, for once mind your

own business...

You don't even know what your

talking about!

DINA: Oh really? I don't...

I think you're just wishing it was you

instead of Kristyn

AMBER: Uh, what did you just say?

DINA: You heard me!

[ coughs ] MARK: What the hell is going on?

Look, I am gonna walk Jim out and when

I get back everyone better be back to work!

[ Everyone leaves/ Marks comes back &

everything's silent ]

MARK: Hithe, can I speak with you?

HITHE: Uh, yeah...

[ Mark leaves/ Ski turns around to the two kids

staring at him. ]

SKI: So, who wants to watch a movie?

[ Back at the store. ]

AMBER: Sorie Hithe, what did he say?

HITHE: Nothing, just to get everyone under control

This is gonna be one big mess!

AMBER: Yeah, I know...

Well, at least Dina's gone so you don't

have to deal with her anymore tonight

HITHE: Thanks for sticking up for me though!

AMBER: You're welcome

Well, I'm leaving...you gonna be OK?

HITHE: Yeah

[ Back at Mark's/ Ski's on his cell with Weis. ]

SKI: Yeah, they're watching a movie

and I'm sitting here stuffing my face [ laughs ]

What?  Did you say you miss me?

Hold on, I got another call...

SKI: Hello

HITHE: Hey, it's me...

SKI: Hithe?

'Jai stop throwing the remote!'

HITHE: Uh, where are you?

SKI: Long story, what's up?

HITHE: Ski, Kristyn's pregnant...

SKI: What?

HITHE: Yeah, and it's all over the store...

What am I gonna do?

SKI: How did anyone find out?

HITHE: Dina heard me talking to Kristyn...

I just hope Mark doesn't know

SKI: What about her husband?

HITHE: I don't know

SKI: Wow! This is crazy, Hithe!

You better be careful from now

on before anything worse happens...

KYLE: Like what?

AMBER: Where are you from?

[ Ski's outside watching as Hithe leaves. ]

[ Mark comes up to him. ]

MARK: Hey, what you doing out here?

SKI: Just doing some thinking

MARK: Oh well about that stuff you saw…

SKI: It's OK, you don't have to explain

MARK: But I kinda do…

Because it's for you

SKI: What?

MARK: Yeah, I have a little favor to ask you

You see I'm having some friends over for drinks tonight…

SKI: Yeah?

MARK: Well, I thought of a way to get your mind

off things for the night.

SKI: How is that?

MARK: Come over here…

[ They walk to the side of the building. ]

MARK: OK, I want you to bartend for me

SKI: Sounds like fun, but I've never…

MARK: It's nothing and my friends will love you

If you know what I mean [smiles at him]

SKI: Wait you have that kind of friends?

MARK: Yeah, you'll get lot's of attention…

But there's one more thing

SKI: What?

MARK: I want you to do it wearing this…

SKI: What the hell?

[ Back at Amber's apartment. ]

AMBER: Sorry, I had to come back…

KYLE: It's OK, I understand

AMBER: I should probably go to the doctor tomorrow

You wanna take me?

KYLE: I cant…I have to work

AMBER: Oh alright.

KYLE: But I'm sure you're fine…

Well, I gotta get going babe [quick kisses her & leaves]
