She’s awake.” 

. . . 

 

[ A Couple Weeks Later . . . ] 


 

Scene O n e: 

[ Grrr Camping Site/Center. ] 

 

“The alternates have arrived!” 

 

[ Caleb states in the absence of 

Mark & his brothers. ] 

 

[ He & Little H. join Ski, Grandpa, Jai 

& Chais who are holding drinks and 

sitting around the fire. ] 

 

SKI: Technically Little H. is family. 

 

You’re the only alternate. 

 

[ He teases Caleb.  As they continue 

their conversation. ] 

 

GRANDPA: Your Dad’s problem is he  

thinks everything has to go his way.   

 

Like the world revolves around him! 

 

SKI: He can get a little stubborn.  But 

you have to admit, what you’re doing 

is not the norm. 

 

Especially at your age. 

 

GRANDPA: I understand that.  But he’s 

treating me like his mother and I didn’t 

make this decision together.  I’m not 

trying to end my marriage.  We did this 

to maintain it. 

 

JAI: As long as you and Grandma are 

on the same page.  That’s all that  

really matters. 

 

CHAIS: So, Grandpa.  I gotta ask. 

How was Ski’s mom? 

 

SKI: Hey, shut it! 

 

GRANDPA: We only kissed.  Not that 

that's any of your business, Mister.  

 

Who wants to get the rest of the food 

and things out of the truck for me? 

 

LITTLE H: I got it. 

 

[ Grandpa tosses Little H. his keys 

while Jai follows him to the car. ] 

 

 

Scene T w o: 

[ Meanwhile . . .At A Nearby Beach. ] 

 

[ Diane is sitting on a towel, pouring cham 

-pagne into two glasses.  The waves hit the 

sand as the drinks mix with her pinkish  

juice of choice. ] 

 

[ A tall man in a matching, floral printed  

shirt & short set, sits down next to her. ] 

 

JULIEYN: You’ll never guess what I 

have planned for us after this. 

 

DIANE: Hmm, a ride in private plane 

around the city? 

 

[ Julieyn shakes his head, holding 

onto her from the side.  

 

She turns to him, with a slight  

smile. ] 

 

DIANE: Alright then.  What about 

some twisted and tragic mystery  

show? 

 

JULIEYN: As intriguing as that 

sounds, you’re not even close. 

 

Give up yet? 

 

[ He silences her with a long  

kiss. ] 

 

 

Scene T h r e e: 

[ Back At The Site . . . ] 

 

[ Little H is holding on to the set 

of keys.  Jai turns around & he 

throws them in his direction. ] 

 

Could’ve given me a warning.” 

 

[ Jai says, with a perfect catch. ] 

 

LITTLE H: Your grandpa is pissed 

at Mark.  I don’t see how they ever 

are going to repair this. 

 

JAI: Yeah, he’s been going on and 

on since before you got here.  

Never seen him so upset. 

 

Ski’s been trying desperately 

to change the subject. 

 

[ Little H laughs. ] 

 

LITTLE H: And failing, I bet.   

 

JAI: Maybe Caleb will have better 

luck.   

 

LITTLE H: We’ll see. 

 

[ He sees Jai stare at the keys. ] 

 

LITTLE H: What’s up? 

 

JAI: There are keys to TA on 

here. 

 

LITTLE H: Keys? 

 

JAI: This one is a master key. 

I have one for Care.  All the 

managers do.  And this one 

is a grand master. 

 

LITTLE H: What’s that for? 

 

JAI: Every store in the district.   



 

Scene F o u r: 

[ Inside Julieyn’s F-150. ] 

 

“You still won’t tell me 

where we’re going?” 

 

JULIEYN: Don’t worry. 

 

We’re getting close. 

 

[ He turns off the main road 

& starts driving through the  

dirt. ] 

 

DIANE: If I didn’t know you 

better, I’d might be thinking 

you were taking me back here 

to kill me. 

 

[ They laugh. ] 

 

JULIEYN: My house is aways back. 

 

I just wanted you to meet 

some of my family members. 

 

DIANE: That’s sweet. 

 

[ Approaching the estate, he parks in 

a roundabout.  Walking to Diane’s 

side, he opens the door. ] 

 

DIANE: This is beautiful.   

 

“Hey, Uncle Juls!” 

 

[ Diane steps down & is stunned,  

seeing the young man taking  

strides in their direction. ] 

 

 

Scene F i v e: 

[ Simon Family Camping. ] 

 

[ Jai returns the keys minus the 

looted pair & takes a seat by 

Chais & Jenni.  

 

Cracking open a beer, he eyes 

his Grandpa from across the  

fire. ] 

 

GRANDMA: What a perfect night. 

 

[ Caleb notices Jai’s look of fury. ] 

 

CALEB: What’s going on? 

 

[ He whispers to him. ] 

 

JAI: I think Grandpa is the one 

whose been sabotaging the 

store. 

 

[ Caleb looks surprised. ] 

 

JAI: Why did you have keys to 

TA? 

 

[ He stands up, his yell breaking 

through side chats. ] 

 

SKI: What? 

 

[ Jai repeats himself, louder as the 

group turns to Grandpa. ] 

 

JAI: Are you the one whose 

been screwing with us this  

entire summer? 

 

[ As his Grandpa starts to speak 

they are interrupted. ] 

 

“Hey guys.” 

 

[ Mark & Uncle Josh arrive. ] 

 

 

Scene S i x: 

[ Late Night . . .Julieyn’s. ] 

 

“Caleon?” 

 

CALEON: Hey Diane. 

 

[ He casually replies. ] 

 

JULIEYN: Wait.  You two know 

each other? **** 

 

DIANE: Only in a business sense. 

 

JULIEYN: Oh yeah?   

 

DIANE: Please tell me your Dad  

is not here. 

 

CALEON: Yeah, he’s inside.   

 

DIANE: Great! 

 

[ She sighs, as they walk in.  

 

A massive chandelier is hanging 

in the entrance. ] 

 

[ Julieyn takes Diane’s hand  

leading  her downstairs. ] 

 

[ She is greeted by multitudes  

of relatives.  Getting lost in the 

introductions, she doesn’t notice 

Caleon’s Dad slip in from the  

back room with his other uncle. ] 

 

 

CALS UNC2: Who is she? 

 

 

Scene S e v e n: 

[ Continuing. . . ] 

 

“That weird woman I caught  

in my son’s bedroom a few 

months ago.” 

 

CALS UNC2: Can’t believe Juls 

is into her. 

 

CALS DAD: He won’t be once he 

finds out.  

 

She’s a creep.  And I’m going to  

make sure she never comes near 

my son again! 

 

[ Caleon walks up to them. ] 

 

CALEON: I got her here. 

 

Now what?
