Take A Hit Part 2

SCENE 1:

Still at Mark & Ski’s.

SKI: If you we’re having

feelings for her, all you

had to do was tell me

and we could have

figured it out.

But you hid it for three

months.

MARK: You can’t just go.

[ Ski grabs his suitcase

& walks out the door

leaving Mark standing

there. ]

[ The next morning at Hithe’s ]

HITHE: Hey your phone keeps

going off.  It’s probably Mark.

Here.

[ Ski takes the phone & sits

it down on the nightstand. ]

HITHE: You’re gonna have to

talk to him eventually.

SKI: I know, but not today.

I have to get to the store

& help set up everything

for the show.  Tonight

is all about my team.

HITHE: Well, alright then.

Whose ready to party?

[ Hithe dances around the

room forcing Ski to smile. ]

SCENE 2:

Inside the Salon.

[ Karie enters Ace’s office

& sits down in front of him. ]

ACE: Hey, what’s going on?

KARIE: I don’t know.  Everyone

seems to have a problem with

Lorenzo.

He may be a little self-absorbed

but he’s great at what he does here.

[ Ace looks away from her. ]

KARIE: Oh no.  Not you too.

ACE: I’m sorry babe.  He just

rubs me the wrong way.

KARIE: And Hithe agrees?

ACE: Yes but it’s your decision.

And we’ll stand by you.

KARIE: Good.  That’s all I needed

to hear.  He’ll be coming in this

afternoon.

ACE: Fine.  Tell him he could try

being less of an ass and more

humble to be around.

KARIE: Will do.

[ She kisses Ace on the check

& leaves the office. ]

SCENE 3:

Back at Mark’s house.

[ Chais, Billy, Jenni, & Jai are

sitting in the living room

watching TV.  ]

BILLY: So that’s it, huh?

Your parents are toast.

JAI: Don’t say that!

[ Jai sighs & leaves the room. ]

CHAIS: I don’t know, man.

Ski was pretty pissed when

he left this morning.

And he won’t return Mark’s

calls.

JENNI: That’s understandable

though.  Technically your

Dad cheated.

BILLY: True, but none of us

know what it’s like to be

into guys and girls.

Anyways, I have to get

home and do some studying.

Got a test tomorrow and

my mom is all over my

butt.

[ Billy heads for the door. ]

CHAIS: Later.

SCENE 4:

Later that night.

[ Ski, Larrie, & Tiesun

arrive in a limo to pick up

Stuu, Weis & Joh for the

nights team party.

They get inside. ]

JOH: Wow, this is so cool.

WEIS: Yeah, where’s Airynn?

SKI: He’s meeting us there.

As is LeeVigh right.

JOH: Yup.

SKI: Cool, and Hithe just texted

me.  A lot of people are there

already.

Are you excited for your first

show?

STUU: I’m a little nervous.

TIESUN: Don’t worry about it.

I’ve heard you practice and

It will be great.

SKI: I agree.

WEIS: This is gonna be

the best night of our lives.

[ Ski, Larrie, Joh, Stuu

& Tiesun raise their wine

glasses together. ]

SCENE 5:

Outside the Salon.

[ Karie is locking up when

she notices Lorenzo sitting

outside. ]

KARIE: Hey, I thought you

left an hour ago.

LORENZO: Nope, still here.

Somehow I get the idea

that no one around here

likes me.

KARIE: It’s not that at all.

LORENZO: You don’t have to

lie, Kare.

KARIE: They just don’t know

you like I do but they will

come around.

So, what do you have going

on tonight.  Hot date?

LORENZO: Nope. Probably just

sit alone in my apartment

watching movies.

KARIE: Lame.   Well, the nights

team is having a party in about

an hour.  Since you’re an official

TA employee now why don’t

you come.

LORENZO: Thanks, I’ll be there.

SCENE 6:

Inside TA, at the Party.

[ After the nights team is

introduced to the crowd,

they separate while Weis,

LeeVigh, & Stuu get set up.

Ski finds Hithe, Ace, Karie,

Amber, Jeszyca, & Landyn

seated near the stage. ]

AMBER: This is amazing, Ski.

But how are you really feeling?

I heard about Mark.

SKI: I don’t wanna talk about

it now. This is about them.

[ He gets up & goes to the

microphone. ]

SKI: I just wanted to thank

everyone for coming to

celebrate our win.

Ladies and gentleman,

Slees.

[ As Weis starts to sing,

Ski finds his seat & starts

to get into the song.

Suddenly Mark arrives

in the back, seeing Ski

he starts toward him

but stops when he sees him

staring in Weis’ direction. ]

SCENE 7:

[ Outside in the parking

lot, Landyn catches up

to Mark. ]

LANDYN: Where are you going?

MARK: Away from here.

LANDYN: I think Ski would

appreciate it if you stayed

 in support.

Come on man, just hang out

with me and Ace.

MARK: Why? He’s been ignoring

me all day.  And you know what

this night is really about.

LANDYN: What, his team?

MARK: Wake up Land, it’s all

about Weis.

[ Mark gets in his car and

drives away leaving Landyn

in the parking lot. ]

Break Me

SCENE 1:

Overnight shift, TA.

[ Jeszyca is sitting in the back

break room with Stuu, Joh,

 Airynn, Weis & Ski. ]

JESZYCA: Anything exciting

happen since I’ve been

gone?

JOH: Not really.

SKI: You forget were set

to walk away with the

TA credit bonus.

I know you want that

raise.    

JESZYCA: You’re beating days?

I bet Mark is sour. 

SKI: Yeah, he’s not happy

and working overtime to

try and catch up.

WEIS: We’ll see in six days.

SKI: So how do you like

working with Hithe at

the Salon?

JESZYCA: Hithe is a good guy.

Despite what I originally

thought.  And everyone

else is great too. 

[ Suddenly they hear a door

lifting & the noise of a truck

backing up. ]

SKI: Guess whose here.

[ He smiles at Jeszyca. ]

SCENE 2:

At Larrie’s apartment.

[ The door opens & Ace

enters seeing his cousin

passed out on the couch.

Smirking, he takes a hard

pillow & tosses it at him. ]

LARRIE: What the hell?

[ Larrie sits up fast. ]

ACE: You really shouldn’t

leave your door open.

LARRIE: Hey jerk.

How is Kyle doing?

ACE: He’s a little better

today.

So you took a vaca just

to sleep all day and

watch TV?

LARRIE: Maybe.

ACE: Just because you’re

single doesn’t mean you

should roll over and be

boring. 

What’s Jess doing?

LARRIE: She’s visiting TA.

And I took this break for

a reason.  I don’t plan on

wasting it. 

SCENE 3:

Back at TheAisles.

SKI: Your favorite vendor.

JESZYCA: You mean, the one

who refuses to accept the

fact that I don’t date men.

SKI: Bingo.

JESZYCA: Maybe it’s a good

time to make my escape

then.

See ya everyone.

[ She grabs her purse &

starts to head for the

front door.

Stopping for a second,

she looks around &

catches her breath. ]

“Hey!”

[ Jeszyca turns around

giving a faint smile. ]

JESZYCA: Hey Q, I was

just on my way out.

VENDOR Q: Jeszyca, it’s

been awhile.

JESZYCA: Yeah, I got a new

job.

I really should get going

though.

[ Jeszyca walks off & Q stands

there, staring as she walks. ]

SCENE 4:

Back at Larrie’s.

[ Jeszyca walks through the

front door. ]

LARRIE: Hey, you just missed

Ace.

[ She sits down in silence. ]

LARRIE: What’s wrong?

JESZYCA: Nothing.  You know

Q?

LARRIE: The TA vendor.

JESZYCA: Yeah, of course

I ran into him on my visit.

LARRIE: What did he say?

JESZYCA: Not much.  Just his

usual, creepy self. 

LARRIE: I can’t even talk to

that guy.  I know what you

mean. 

Well, I think I’m going to

call it a night.

JESZYCA: Okay, if I don’t see

you in the morning.  Good

luck. 

LARRIE: Night.

SCENE 5:

Parking lot, downtown.

[ Jeszyca is parked with her

car off when another car

pulls in next to her.

She is startled by a knock

on her window & unlocks

the door. ]

JESZYCA: Thanks for

meeting me here.

VENDOR Q: Hey, when a

woman calls me in the

middle of the night.

Where else would I be.

JESZYCA: Don’t be an ass.

This isn’t that exactly.

VENDOR: Okay, then what

are you trying to say with

all this?

[ Instead of answering, Jeszyca

takes off her seat belt & gets

closer to Q.

Putting her hand in his lap, she

grabs onto his chin with her

other hand & slowly starts to

kiss him. ]

SCENE 6:

The next morning.

[ Larrie enters a store

dressed professionally &

sits down in a waiting

area.

A few minutes later, a female

approaches him.  They walk

into a back room & Larrie

takes a seat across from her. ]

MANAGER: Hi Larrie, I’m Charlotte.

[ She holds out her hand. ]

LARRIE:  It’s nice to meet you.

MANAGER: So, what brings you

Into our interview today?

LARRIE: I’m looking for growth

and I’m just not seeing that

where I am at now.

Too many are ahead of me.

MANAGER: I see.  And when

are you able to start with us?

LARRIE: Immediately.
