Sink Right In

scene one:

Between TA & The Salon.

[ Hahn is sitting at the table

when Charles approaches 

him. ]

"You look.  Nice."

CHARLES: Do I normally look

dirty?

[ He stays straight faced

taking the seat across. ]

HAHN: Well ever since Sandie

dumped you again, you have

been pretty lazy.

Besides broga and ocassionally

helping at your brother's shop.

CHARLES: Yeah.  I quit that

also.

[ He looks away. ]

HAHN: Seriously.  You already

widdled down most of your

savings.  The rent isn't going

to pay itself.

CHARLES: Alright.  There's a

reason I haven't gone back to

him.

HAHN: What, did he make you

mad or something?

[ Charles expression turns from

calm to raging as he sits back

recalling the messages. ]

"See you this evening?"

"I'll keep the bed warm."

CHARLES: Look, my brother is

fucking my ex fiance.  I read

the texts last night.

[ He gets up while Hahn calls

after him. ]

'Wait.'

CHARLES: I just have an inter-

view to get to.  I'm fine.  I'll 

see ya.  

[ Hahn looks concerned, watch-

ing him drive out of the lot. ]

scene two:

Afternoon, near downtown.

[ Scott, Maxx, & Ricky are sit-

ting in the living room when

their host Lisa joins them. ]

"I haven't been to a Friday 

party in forever."

LISA: Yeah.  When do you normally

have them?

[ Maxx laughs while Scott looks

confused. ]

LISA: Anyway.  You guys have to

see his impression of Mark.

RICKY: Yeah.  Go on.

[ Ricky looks intrigued while Scott

prepares himself, standing. ]

SCOTT: Hey there.

[ He leans down emphasizing 

their bosses height. ]

SCOTT: So what are you up

to?

Uhh.  My job.  

[ Everyone starts to laugh as he

finishes.  Out of it & late, Scott

looks down surprised.  

He attempts to shield his now

tinting frontal area. ]

SCOTT: What the hell did

you give me?

[ He runs off to the bathroom.

Ricky hits Maxx in the arm while

Lisa shakes her head at him. ]

MAXX: Damn.  It was just some 

Viagra.

scene three: 

[ Middle of nowhere, Charles
is alone & setting up a space
inside a one-roomed cabin.

Still in his suit he stretches
out on the bed, taking time
to text the owner. ]

"Thanks brother.  I'll make
sure to take great care of
the place."

[ Sneakily smiling, he jumps at
the sound of a rushed knock
at the door. ]

CHARLES: Geez. I hope your not
in a hurry.
VALENCIA: Of course not. 

[ Charles slides through the crack,
stepping outside.  Her eyes gaze to
his burly chest poking out through 
an open dress shirt. ]

VALENCIA: You can probably tell
I've never done anything like this
before.  

[ Charles shuts the door behind,
turns & removes her jacket. She
stays still as it tumbles to the floor. ]

CHARLES: The first thing to do is
completely relax.  Don't be afraid
to touch me.

[ He grabs her hips, pressing 
Valencia toward him. ]

"Now, what is your fantasy?"

scene four:
Back at Lisa's.

[ Music is playing while the full
house of workers mingle in separ
-ate groups.

Lisa is chatting with Airynn &
Brian. ]

"Where's my little friend?"

[ Airynn looks around. ]

BRIAN: I would imagine he's
in your pants.
AIRYNN: Funny.  I'm talking
about Scotty man.

LISA: He should be back out
here soon.  

[ They hear Maxx calling out to
Scott from across the room as
he walks in, passing Lisa.

The attention turns to Scott.
HIs situation unchanged. ]

MAXX: Boner boys back.

[ The room gets silent. ]

SCOTT: Yeah.  The jokes on
you because I plan on using
every bit of this tonight.

[ He turns around, locking his
eyes on Lisa but she's unaware. ]


scene five:

[ Later, at the cabin. ]

"Are you okay?"

[ Charles walks over to the
desk area where Valencia is
sitting down getting dressed

She stops, placing her head
in her hands. ]

VALENCIA: It's nothing.  Just
effects of a pill I took earlier.

You we're amazing by the way.

Everything still as we discussed?

[ Charles nods, sitting back
down while she gathers the
rest of her things. ]

VALENCIA: Great.

[ Charles is shocked as she
climbs on top of him on
her way out the door.

She tucks a crisp $100 bill
into his pants pocket. ]

CHARLES: You know how to
get a hold of me.

[ He gently taps her on the
rear before watching her
walk out.

Sighing with relief, he takes
a long sip from his glass of
wine. ]

"That was easy."


scene six:

[ Lisa & Scott are alone in
the kitchen. ]

"I hope you're having fun."

SCOTT: You're kidding right.

I'm having a blast.

LISA: Really?  You're the only
one here not drinking.  And
the guys keep picking on you.
I feel bad.

[ She looks down & Scott 
comes over to her. ]

SCOTT: Well.  Simply put.

I'm not here for them.

[ Meanwhile, Ricky is leading a
shirtless Maxx into the guest
room. ]

RICKY: You think I'm just gonna
let you get away with smearing
whip cream all over my tshirt.

[ She pushes him down on the
bed. Pointing the can at Maxx's
face.

Ricky then throws it on the
ground. Getting serious. ]

RICKY: This may seem a little
weird but I need your honest
opinion.

[ Ricky slides down her pants
as Maxx is soon looking at
bare skin from the waist
down. ]

"Does it look, normal?"

She's Wild: Part Two

SCENE ONE :

A week later, Ashbury Park.

[ Charles is sitting quietly by the

lake.  He skids a rock perfectly

across the water as Ricky makes

a late arrival. ]

"I was getting worried.  Why

didn't you answer any of my

calls?"

RICKY: Sorry.  I posted how

I was doing afterwards.  I just

didn't feel like being seen.

CHARLES: Yeah I know.  There

was an adjusting period.  I

of all people can understand

one of those.

[ The sorrow switches toward

him as he gets quiet.  Ricky

notices Charles look of dismay. ]

RICKY: What have you been

doing with your life?

CHARLES: Not really working.

I've been living off savings

trying to figure out what I'm

really want.

RICKY: And how is Sandie?

CHARLES: Oh she's fine.  I'm using

this time to explore my options.

Get out of my static routine.

RICKY: Sounds like fun.  Inspiring

even.  I have to make a call.

[ She walks off excited, leaving

Charles behind. ]

SCENE TWO :

Afternoon, at Weis & Stuu's.

[ Stuu is sitting near baby Mila

while some familiar visitors are

seated with Weis. ]

MARK: I know.  Who is this

strange man looking at me?

[ Mila smiles at him through

her snack of raw veggies. ]

STUU: Of course she stops acting

up as soon as you come to get

her.

SKI: It's me.  I have that natural

connection with children.

[ Weis starts to laugh a little. ]

SKI: Didn't mean it like that.

WEIS: I'm just messing.  Anyway

we would have let you sit sooner

but Stuu was concerned about her

being around too many people.

Too soon, you know.

MARK: That's good thinking.  We

understood.

[ Later on, Stuu & Weis are alone

in the living room. ]

"As smooth as you tried to be

I know there's something hiding

underneath the blanket."

WEIS: I finally found a way for

us to get what we both want.

[ Weis stands up, whisking away the

cover and reveals the real-to-life

animal costumes. ]

SCENE THREE :

[ After the meet up, Ricky arrives

back home surprised to see her

Dad's vehicle sitting in the drive. 

Later, they chat inside. ]

"Why are you avoiding us?"

RICKY: I'm not at all.  Just been
busy.

DAD: With what? I knew you
we're going to regret this.
RICKY: I never said that. In fact,
I'm very happy with the results.
Just trying to get use to all the
changes.

[ Her Dad doesn't speak. ]

DAD: Your mother is worried.
RICKY: Yeah well she doesn't
need to be.  No one does.

[ After he leaves, Ricky is on the
phone with her TA assistant. ]

SCENE FOUR :

"You be the cheetah.  I'll be the
antelope."

[ Weis & Stuu are sitting on the
couch in their costumes. ]

"Now what?"

WEIS: Well my costume has a 
hole in the back.  And yours
has a piece sticking out in
front.

[ Weis smirks at Stuu as he
figures it out.

They stand up and Weis positions
himself in front of Stuu.  Now
connected through fabric,
they proceed in exploring
this fake penetration. ]

WEIS: How is this?  Too weird?
STUU: No.  Keep going.

[ Weis continues to run up against
his fabric. ]

"Wanna try this for real?"


SCENE FIVE :

[ Outside of Ricky's. ]

RICKY: Thanks for leaving your
buddies to come by.

MAXX: No problem.  I see way
too much of them anyway.

So what's up?
RICKY: My Dad showed up here
earlier.
MAXX: What did he say?
RICKY: Nothing bad.  I could
just tell he was frustrated
by me.  

MAXX: Hey, you need to live
for you.  Not anyone else.
The main thing is you can
finally feel comfortable
in yourself. 
RICKY: You're right.

[ Before Maxx can look, Ricky
has ran a little ways down the
street.  She stops & looks back.

Maxx takes the cue and hurries
to catch up with her. ]

[ They stand face to face.  Ricky
waste no time giving him a quick
kiss & then looks away. ]


SCENE SIX :

[ Back with the "wildlife". ]

"Are you serious?"

STUU: Sorry I don't know what
came over me.  
WEIS: It's normal to get excited.
I just didn't think you had any
desires to go there.

STUU: I haven't.  I mean, I
don't except for lately.  I
don't want to regret any-
thing with you.  
WEIS: I know what you mean.

Let's get this shit off and
watch some movies.

[ Weis gets up to look for the
remote while Stuu opens a
letter he had laying on the
table. ]

"Oh no!"

WEIS: What's wrong?


STUU: Mila's mom. She died.

She's Wild: Part One

Sit Back & Press Play

( View On YouTube For Full Screen )

Or Read It Here . . . . . . .

SCENE ONE:
Early AM, still dark out.

[ Weis is reclining on the couch with
baby Mila snuggled on top of him. 

Stuu enters the room & sits down, 
putting on his shoes. ]

"If you need to.  Tie will be
up in the afternoon."

WEIS: Ah we'll be fine.  I've
been here the whole week, I
think I've pretty much gotten
the hang of it all.
STUU: I know.  And I trust you.

WEIS: Like I said, she'll be
calling me 'Da da' in no time.

[ Stuu smiles at the thought. ]

WEIS: I can't help but to wonder
about her mom.  I mean, why
go through this extensive donor
process just to dissapear after
the birth.
STUU: I know.  It doesn't make
much sense.

[ He starts to walk away. ]

WEIS: Probably because it's
not true.  They're clearly hid-
ing something.
STUU: Even if you're right. Does
it really matter that much?

WEIS: Maybe not to you.  

[ Weis looks down as Mila starts
to wake up.  Stuu comes over.

Sighing heavily, he kisses them
both then leaves. ]


SCENE TWO:
Meanwhile, inside TA.

[ Back in the Meat department
Ricky is looking up at the sche-
dule as her assistant Maxx 
walks up from behind. ]

"Excuse me."

[ Ricky turns around, rolling her
eyes at Maxx's smirking face. ]

RICKY: I know you viewed that
pic I sent you.  Why are you act-
ing so surprised?

[ Maxx looks down, feeling caught. ]

MAXX: I don't know.  It's different to
to see you in person.  So what should
I call you now?

[ Ricky looks over, confused. ]

RICKY: My name genius.  

[ She finally smiles.  Maxx gets a
 glimpse of a familiar expression
& begins to relax. ]

MAXX: So we're close enough for
me to ask.  I think.  Is it gone?
RICKY: Hey.  I'm still your mana-
ger and we're still at our job.

Just remember that.

[ Ricky shakes her head at him
& exits toward the counter. ]


SCENE THREE:
Garage, outside Stuu's.

[ Weis leans the seat back, placing a
baby monitor down near him.  He takes
out a newly wrapped grape swisher &
puffs away at the added contents. 

A few minutes later he gets out
walking toward a package that's
hidden by the door. ]

"They're here."

[ Later inside, he is texting night
manager Ski. ]

WEIS: Dude.  I need a favor.
SKI: It's only been one week and
you're already running for the hills.
WEIS: LOL.  Actually the baby loves
me.  It's Stuu who has the problems
with her.  
SKI: Well I'm hoping moving him to
days would help you guys out. 
WEIS: Yeah.  Except now we hardly
see each other.  

SKI: Well like I told you both.  You
need your time.  I can watch her
whenever.
WEIS: Really thanks.  How about 
tonight?


SCENE FOUR: 

[ Behind the counter, Ricky notices
a male customer hovering over the
glass.

When Ricky comes close, the stran-
ger changes his view. ]

RICKY: Can I help you find some-
thing?

[ Ricky smiles meeting the young
man's glance for the first time.

The recieved look back was less
than warm. ]

"What did you do to your face?"

[ Maxx comes out, just in time
to hear.  He starts toward the
customer with Ricky close behind
but Scott is already there. ]

SCOTT: If you really want to know.

[ Scott faces him. ]

SCOTT: Try asking in a respectful
 way.
MAXX: Or he could just fuck off
out of here and mind his
own damn business.

"Is there a problem here?"

[ They turn around to see Mark
staring at them.  The stranger
runs out of the store while Scott,
Maxx, & Ricky return to work. ] 


SCENE FIVE:
Between cities, Zain & Joh's.

[ Joh, Zain, Tiesun, & Larrie
are sitting in the living room
when Weis enters.

Joh offers him a beer but he
declines. ]

"So how's parenthood?"

WEIS: I hate to say it but I feel
like I need a break already.
ZAIN: I thought everything
was chill with you and Mila.
WEIS: It is.  But Stuu gets so
worked up over every little
thing.  And he won't let any
else watch her so we can
have a night out.
TIESUN: I'm sure that will 
change with time.  

LARRIE: Yeah.  That's normal
for new parents.  You just have
to wait it out.

[ Later Joh & Weis are alone in
the basement. ]

"Did you show him the costumes?"

WEIS: Not yet.  I figured with him
being an animal lover and the fact
that it doesn't involve our bodies
persay.  He might consider.
JOH: The battles of being intimate
with an asexual. Next on Today.
WEIS: You're dumb.  Anyway I just
have to get Stuu alone one night
and convince him.

JOH: Well good luck with that.


SCENE SIX:
End of shift, TA.

[ Ricky is walking in the parking lot.
She can tell Maxx is behind so
she picks up the pace a little. ]

"Why are you folllowing me?"

[ Ricky states, without turning 
around. ]

MAXX: You made it through day
one,  Just thought you might
want to.

[ He stops when Ricky turns
around, connecting their eyes. ]

RICKY: What?  You just don't
understand at all.  Do you?
MAXX: I'm here.  Trying.

RICKY: There will be no shoot.
No name change and no cele-
bration.  Alright.

I'm the same me inside that
I've always been.  I don't
want to be treated any
differently.

MAXX: Okay i got it.  I'll
see you tomorrow then.

[ Ricky watches as Maxx runs
back inside. ]

She's Wild: Part Two
