3 Of A TA Kind ( Last6 )

Scene One :

[ Early morning.  Scott is eyeing
his bathroom window hard as
he strategically sculpts each
strand of his dark hair.

Satisfied now, he moves on to vig-
orously brushing.  Rolling around
each tooth.  ]

[ Rinsing out his mouth, he sets
the toothbrush down & begins
to fidget with his hair again. ]

"Your food's getting cold!"

SCOTT:  Yeah, I'm coming. 

[ Minutes later Scott joins his
Dad at the kitchen table. ]

SCOTTsDAD: Everything okay?

You're starting to take more
time in the bathroom then
your mother use to.

[ His Dad laughs at him. ]

SCOTT: I'm fine.  Just have to
look my best for the ladies so
I take my time.

[ He states, guiding the conver-
sation. ]

SCOTTsDAD: I see.
SCOTT: Yeah I have to go. I'm
meeting someone before work.

SCOTTsDAD: Okay.  Don't forget
about your.

[ His Dad starts to speak but Scott
has already left. ]

Scene Two :

[ Little H is alone at the kitchen
table when Hithe sits down his
plate, then another in front of
the seat next to him. ]

HITHE: You know I don't care
about the weekends.

[ H looks up & Hithe stops. ]

LITTLE H: Dean can't go home
right now.

All his parents do is remind
him over and over again of
his past behaviors.

They've even drove most of
his other relatives away
from him.

[ A rush of thoughts come to
Hithe's mind but he settles on 
one realization. ]

HITHE: That's sad.  Maybe I
should talk some sense
into them myself.

JR. DEAN: Morning guys.

[ Dean appears from the hall.

 He smiles, taking a place near
his omelette & homemade
waffles. ]

HITHE: Well, I have to get to 
work.  You two enjoy.

[ After he leaves, Dean gets up &
places his plate in the microwave. ]

JR. DEAN: I'm not that hungry yet.

LITTLE H: Okay.  At least you're
awake.

[ He leaves H in the kitchen &
sneaks off toward the bathroom.

Turning the water on full blast,
Dean bends down over the toi-
let seat, waiting & clutching
his belly. ]

Scene Three :

Noon, at the Aisles.

[ Scott arrives, just in time to
clock in by his grace period.

He stays silent & makes his
way toward the back cooler
area but is stopped by Brian. ]

"Just walk past me, why don't
you."

SCOTT: My fault man.  Hey.

BRIAN: I'm shitty I missed
that pool party but OT was
calling my name.
SCOTT: Yeah.  Gotta love
summer.  Someone is always
ditching around here.

BRIAN: Hence why we're
the only ones here in our
departments.  Well I'll
see ya out there.

[ A couple hours later, Scott
is tediously checking over
the quality of the vegetables
when Airynn walks by. ]

AIRYNN: Hey, I'm going across
the street for food in a couple
 hours.

Want a ride?

SCOTT: Nah.  I'll be cutting out
in less than an hour.  Got stuff
to do.
AIRYNN: That's cool.  I wish I
could half it today.  It's getting
hotter and hotter outside.

SCOTT: Nice.



[ He answers Airynn but his mind
is somewhere outside TA.

A couple hours later, Scott 
exits a cab and heads toward
an unknown building. ]


Scene Four :
 Meanwhile, in the Salon.

[ Hithe is standing at the front desk
when Kristyn walks in. ]

"I see things are progressing
steadily around here."

HITHE: I know.  Not only are our
stations filled now but the cust-
omers are constantly rolling in.

[ He grins big, taking a seat &
leaning back in his chair. ]

HITHE: But what I'm even more
excited about is me & H moving
in to yours this weekend.
KRISTYN: I was hesistant at first.

[ She states, leaning over towards
him. ]

KRISTYN: Since you've worked every-
thing out and things are starting
to fall into place, I'm looking forward
to it.
HITHE: I knew you would get on board.
The kids love the idea.  However, there
is one thing we still need to talk about.
KRISTYN: What's that?

HITHE: Dean.




[ Back at Kristyn's, Mairya's boyfriend
sees her phone ringing for the third
time and decides to answer it. ]

"Hey, what's going on?"

MICA: What?  Slow down a little,
I can't understand you.

He just passed out there.

[ Mairya comes inside the room,
followed by Trailyn. 

As Mica hangs up the line. ]

MICA: Get my keys we gotta 
go now.

MAIRYA: Where?
MICA: To Hithe's.  We're taking
Dean to the ER.

[ He states as all three head out
to the garage in a panic. ]

Scene Five :

[ Scott sits stradling the middle

cushion, waiting on the interro-

gation to begin. ]

"How long have your symptoms

been getting worse?"

SCOTT: Since before the summer

started.  I wouldn't of said any-

thing but it starting to effect my

focus.

FEMALE: And why haven't you

seen a doctor?

SCOTT: Because I don't need

one.  There just going to put

me on medication.

I can deal with it fine all

on my own.

FEMALE: Oh, then why are you

here?

[ Scott raises his eyebrow, watch-

ing as the therapist adjust into

her seat. ]

SCOTT: I don't know.

FEMALE: I believe you do and I'm

sure we'll get to that in time but

l'm not here to analyze every

thing you do.

We just met.  Let's start more

simply.

SCOTT: With what exactly?

FEMALE: Sit back and tell me

about your day.

[ She smiles at Scott. ]

Scene Six:

[ At the hospital; Mica, Mairya,

& Trailyn are waiting outside

the room.

Inside, H is sitting on a chair

with Dean laying on the bed. ]

DEAN: They're waiting to tell

me that it's getting worse.

[ Little H stands next to him. ]

LITTLE H: You don't know that.

It could have happened from

anything.  Like you not eat-

ing very much.

DEAN: This time I don't think

so babe.

[ H lays down frustrated. ]

DEAN: I'm sorry.  I know your

just trying to help me.  That's

what you've been doing from

day one.

LITTLE H: Right and don't forget

it.

[ H laughs a little but is interupted

by the nurse and doctor barging

in. ]

"Are you a relative?"

[ They hurry over, directing H toward

the door. ]

"We need to talk to Dean. 

Alone."

Circle of Chance

SCENE 1:
Sunday Morning, TA Salon.

[ Jeszyca, Karie, & Amber are
talking in the break room. ]

"I just came by to see how
things we're going."

JESZYCA: We're fine.  Lorenzo
doesn't have that many clients
coming in today.
KARIE: Okay.  If not, Sascha is
free and close now.

[ Karie walks toward the door. ]

AMBER: See ya Kare.

JESZYCA: Dyminic came in the
other day.  He's so random.  Even
had other customers rolling.
AMBER: Yeah, it can be a little
draining at times but I love him. 
JESZYCA: I'm happy for you Am.

AMBER: I saw that pic you posted
the other night with the blonde.
She your new girl?
JESZYCA: Not officially no.  She just 
moved to the states.  A friend 
of Renzo's.

[ Suddenly the door swings open hard. ]

JESZYCA: Speaking of her, hey.
AMBER: Well okay then. I'll let you 
two talk.  Hi.

[ She waves and exits as Sunshine
approaces Jeszyca. ]


SCENE 2:
Afternoon, Weis' apartment.

[ Weis starts knocking on
his bathroom door. ]

"Come in."

WEIS: You almost ready?

[ He sits down on the shower
edge while Stuu is fixing his
hair. ]

STUU: Yeah.  You didn't have
to knock weirdo,

[ Weis stands up next to him. ]

WEIS: Is that my gel?  Since when
do you give a crap about what
your hair looks like?
STUU: I don't.  Just trying out 
something different.  You like
it?

[ He places the tub in the 
drawer, turns & walks out.

Later inside Stuu's car, he
notices Weis' gaze on him
as he drives. ]

STUU: What's up? I know you
wanna say something.
WEIS: You're gonna keep your
cool around Landyn, right?
I mean, there was the whole
thing with Larrie at TA.
STUU: That was a misunder-
standing.  I apologized.  
And I'm use to your circle
of exes by now working
with Ski for so long.

WEIS: Hey, that's a little
different.  We're closer friends.
STUU: Not really.  If I'm not on
my best behavior, you can feel
free to spank me.  
WEIS: I'll hold you to that.

[ They laugh as Stuu pulls into
the parking lot. ]


SCENE 3:
Back inside the Break Room.

JESZYCA: I wasn't expecting to
see you until tonight.

[ Jeszyca gets closer but is stopped
by Sunshine. ]

SUNSHINE: This isn't a friendly visit.

[ She backs up, removing her scarf
slowly to reveal a blinding tone
to her hair. Jeszyca looks in awe. ]

SUNSHINE: If you haven't guessed, 
this wasn't what I was going for.

I asked for a more natural blonde.
JESZYCA: I'm sorry.  Lorenzo must
have gotten confused on the color.
He's still learning.
SUNSHINE: This is unacceptable.  I
have an important meeting and I
look like an old shrew.

JESZYCA: I'm sure Lorenzo can fix
this no problem.  I'll go let him
know.  
SUNSHINE: That's alright.  He 
doesn't seem able.  Listen, I like
you a lot.  Hope this doesn't
mess anything up but I'm filing
a complaint.


SCENE 4:
Inside Landyn's.

"So if someone could help
me get this bed frame out
to the truck."

STUU: I got it.

[ Stuu looks at Weis before
disappearing outside. ]

STUU: You're really smooth in
those TA ads.  How'd you get
so comfortable on camera?
LANDYN: I did a little modeling
when I was younger.  Shot
a few for a local store.  

[ They sit the furniture down &
head back inside. ]

WEIS: I'll get the chairs.

[ He whispers to Stuu but doesn't
notice Landyn watching in the
distance. ]

WEIS: See.  It's easy being nice.

[ Stuu pushes Weis as he walks
by.  Landyn looks away.  ]

STUU: Can I ask you a question?

[ He glances out the window
for Weis who is busy lifting
the chairs. ]


SCENE 5:
Meanwhile, at the Salon.

[ Jeszyca & Lorenzo are talking
near his station. ]

JESZYCA: Someone needs to work
on their coloring.

LORENZO: I knew she came in
here to complain.  That's all
she has done ever since me
and Madeline got together.
JESZYCA: Really, is she that
threatened?

LORENZO: Apparently.  I think
she wants to move out too.
I offered to fix it last night.

What else can I do?
JESZYCA: Maybe you should
try giving them their time.
Those girls have been
 through a lot.
LORENZO: That's true.  The last
thing I wanna do is get in the
middle of their friendship.

JESZYCA: Well then go.  Use your
charm in a positive way for once
and talk Sunshine out of that
write up.
LORENZO: Fine.  I'll do it for the
team.

[ He smirks at Jeszyca while head-
ing towards the back. ]


SCENE 6:
Outside of Landyn's.

[ Stuu is waiting in the car while
Weis talks to Landyn. ]

WEIS: Sure you don't need any
help at the condo?

LANDYN: Thanks but Kyle is meet-
ing me there.  We're having a guys
night after.
WEIS: That's cool.
LANDYN: Stuu seems like a nice,
normal guy.
WEIS: Yeah.  What's normal?
LANDYN: Nothing.  It's a good thing.
I'll have you over some time when
I get things settled.

[ Weis joins Stuu in the car. ]

WEIS: Let's go.  Weren't you saying
you wanted to lay down?  Or was
that just an excuse to get in my
bed?

[ Stuu stays silent. ]

WEIS: What's wrong?
STUU: I'm not so good at this dating
thing but since we're for real I
thought I should tell you.

Someone kissed me a little while
ago.  I put a stop to it though.  They
were just drunk, I'm sorry.
WEIS: It's fine.  No big deal.  

[ Weis catches his stare. ]

WEIS: Hey don't be afraid
to tell me anything.  I'll be
cool.
STUU: That's a huge relief 
then because it was Joh.


WEIS: Wait, what?

Final Hour

SCENE 1

Outside the Telazon’s.

[ Airynn & his younger brother

are sitting on the porch when

Markis drives into the driveway. ]

MARKIS: I knew you’d be home.

Hey Billy, what’s good?

BILLY: Nothing if I’m hanging

with him.

[ He points to Airynn while

getting up & walking inside. ]

AIRYNN: Anyway, are we still

hitting up that strip club

tonight? 

MARKIS: Right, about that.

I can’t go, man.  Something

came up. 

[ He stops talking & looks away. ]

MARKIS: But we can chill now.

So, what’s going on at TA?

Everyone cool?

AIRYNN: Not hardly.  Jeszyca

was fired for getting violent

with a customer.

Joh’s no longer a Witness and

he decided to take the rebellious

route.  That’s just the start. 

MARKIS: Wow.  So much drama.

Just like that crazy place too.

AIRYNN:  I know.  Remember what

happened on your first shift?

SCENE 2:

Meanwhile, at the Hospital.

[ Larrie is exiting his cousin’s

room when Mark arrives. ]

“Hey, how’s Ace?”

LARRIE: He’s knocked out

right now.  They have him

on some medicine for the

pain. 

MARK: Alright, that’s good.

I’m gonna sit with him in

the room until he wakes

up, if that’s cool.

LARRIE: Sure.  Then I can go

get some real food.

If they say anything, just

act like you’re his brother.

[ Larrie leaves & Mark goes

inside.  He moves a chair next

to the bed and sits quietly.

A few minutes later. ]

“Mark, you came.”

MARK: Of course.  How is

your arm doing?

ACE: Better, I guess.  The

meds are working somewhat

but they put me to sleep. 

MARK: Damn, that too bad

but at least you know what

the next step is.  I mean,

at least there is one.

 

ACE:  Yeah.  Not for me.

SCENE 3:

After Airynn’s question. . .

[ From Episode 209 ‘Love Me Dead’ ]

[ Inside TA. . .Airynn, Markis, Joh, Weis

& Larrie are all waiting for their shift to start ]

. . . . .

AIRYNN: So Joh, how was knocking on those

doors last Saturday?

Get any slammed in your face?

MARKIS: Wait, what?

AIRYNN: Yeah, I caught him trying to preach

to my girl…He’s one of those witness people

MARKIS: Damn, for real?

They’re fucking annoying!

. . . . .

[ breaks the silence ] WEIS: Anyways, Airynn…

Why do you give a shit?

AIRYNN: Oh, so your his spokesperson

now?

[ stands up ] JOH: No actually, I don’t need

anyone to speak for me. . . [ gets in his face ]

How are you gonna go behind my back

when you know I liked Marisa?

[ backs up ] AIRYNN: What does it matter?

It’s not like you could’ve dated her

anyway

JOH: That’s not the point, Airynn!

You are supposed to be my friend

. . . . .

JOH: Just forget it dude!

I’m going to start. . . [ walks away ]

MARKIS: Man, if this is how it’s gonna

be. . .

I’m glad I started working here

SCENE 4:

Back at the Hospital.

“What do you mean by

that?  I hope you’re joking.”

ACE: I mean.  What’s the point?

I’ll probably be dealing with

this illness for the rest of my

life anyway.

Why put myself through more

bull just for the same result?

[ Ace gets up & walks toward

the window. ]

MARK: You don’t know that

man.  Any chance is better

than no chance at all. 

I know you’ve been going

through this for awhile

but now is not the time

to give up. 

ACE: You’re right.  I’ve dealt

with so much this year.  Barely

working.  Having to ask Karie

for help with things I could

more than afford before.

Drives me crazy inside. 

MARK: Yeah, I hear ya.

ACE: And now all I can think in

my head.  Over and over again.

[ Ace looks up at Mark. ]

What is my last chance doesn’t
work?

SCENE 5:

Meanwhile, at the Telazon’s.

[ Markis & Airynn are laughing ]

MARKIS: Yeah, that was good.  Let’s

not forget why you got me fired.

AIRYNN: I knew that was coming.

[ From Episode '303 You're A Jerk' ]

[ Back up front, customers are going

through self check while Markis walks

by the window. . . ]

[ on the phone ] ‘Hey man, it’s almost

light out. . .Are you coming?’

MARKIS: Alright hurry, bye

. . . . .

[ The customer walks away just

as Trae and D’Ondrae arrive ]

D’ONDRAE: Is it safe?

MARKIS: Yeah, it’s cool

D’ONDRAE: Alright man, here

[ hands him cash ]

[ Markis pockets the cash and

then hands him a bag from

his jacket ]

MARKIS: Yeah, I’ve done a lot

of growing up since then.

AIRYNN: At least you stopped.

[ Markis stands up. ]

MARKIS: Listen, I didn’t just come

here to recall old times.

There’s something serious I

have to tell you.

AIRYNN: What’s going on?

MARKIS: I’m moving to LA,

man.  Tonight.

SCENE 6:

[ Mark has his arm on Ace’s

shoulder as he is about to

leave.  ]

MARK: Take care of yourself.

Okay.

Hey Karie.

[ Mark walks out & Karie sits down

by Ace. ]

KARIE: I know you don’t want

to do this but I was doing some

research and it’s actually a painless

process.  I’ll sit with you through

everyday of it.

[ Ace smiles, sitting up. ]

ACE:  You don’t have to do that.

I’m sorry about the way I’ve

been acting too. 

KARIE: It’s okay.  I know this

could not have came at a

worse time with the Salon in

it’s first year and everything.

ACE: Hey, it’s life.  My life.

And I’m going to start living

it no matter what happens.

No more excuses.
