“The alternates have arrived!”
[ Caleb states in the absence of
Mark & his brothers. ]

& 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.

while Jai follows him to the car. ]

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.

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. ]

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. ]

leading her downstairs. ]

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?
