Sliced Up

SCENE 1:

Outside the Telazon’s.

[ Airynn is sitting on his

porch when Joh arrives

& sits next to him. ]

AIRYNN: Hey, surprised you

showed.  I’m guessing all

of your besties are busy.

[ Joh laughs at him. ]

JOH: That’s right.

So why are you moping

around here on your

weekend off?

AIRYNN: My girlfriend left

me last week.

JOH: You had a girlfriend?

AIRYNN: Yes, smart ass.

She was staying here.

JOH: Oh, I didn’t know.

AIRYNN: And look.

[ Airynn hands him a piece

of paper. ]

JOH: Renter’s application?

AIRYNN: I was working on

getting this sweet pad

for us too.

JOH: That sucks, dude.

Too bad we’re full at

my place.

AIRYNN: Imagine me and

Weis living together?

Anyway, my plan’s ruined

now.

SCENE 2:

Meanwhile, at the Salon.

[ Lorenzo approaches Hithe

& Ace after the meeting. ]

LORENZO: Hey, can we talk?

ACE: Sure man, what’s up?

LORENZO: I was just thinking.

We should have a guys day

at the Salon.  Bring more

men into this place.

HITHE: Yeah but we don’t

want to exclude our regulars.

Most of them are women.

LORENZO: Then let’s do

the event after hours.

ACE: And who would host?

[ Later on, at the front desk. ]

JESZYCA: What’s wrong Renzo?

LORENZO: I had a great idea

and they basically shot it

down.  I need to do something

huge and then maybe I’ll get

some respect around here.

SCENE 3:

Airynn’s bedroom.

[ After Joh leaves, Airynn is

laying down flipping through

the channels.

He stops at an interesting

news story. ]

“Tonight we follow the lives

of a local, private religious

group and learn of their

rather different traditions.”

[ Intrigued, Airynn settles

back, paying attention. ]

AIRYNN: I wonder where

these people stay at.

[ Getting on his laptop, he

searches for some deeper

insight on the matter. ]

AIRYNN: Hmm, Palaseto Clan.

Very interesting.

[ He looks to see if he can

find an address, when his

brother walks in the room.

Airynn shuts the laptop. ]

BILLY: What was that about?

Gross.  Were you watching

porn?

SCENE 4:

Next night, the Salon.

[ Lorenzo meets Sascha

at the front door while

she goes to unlock it. ]

LORENZO: Hey, thanks for

your help.

[ They walk in. ]

SASCHA: No problem.  I can’t

believe Ace and Kare didn’t

wanna be a part of this.

Should I text them and

make sure?

LORENZO: No, no.  I’m pretty

sure they’re going out. 

I got drinks, food, and we

should have a lot of new

faces here.

SASCHA: Sounds good.

I’ll get the table from

the break room for

refreshments. 

LORENZO: Good idea.

SASCHA: Oh, and Pierre

Is coming too.

LORENZO: Nice.  We should

work together more often.

[ Sascha smiles at him before

walking away. ]

SCENE 5:

Outside of TA.

[ Airynn arrives to see Larrie

& Tiesun being cozy outside. ]

AIRYNN: Hey, what’s up?

TIESUN: What are you doing

here on your day off?

LARRIE: Yeah, are you that

bored?

[ Airynn doesn’t say anything

& Tiesun gets up, walking over

to him. ]

TIESUN: She left, didn’t she?

[ Airynn nods his head. ]

LARRIE: Who?

TIESUN: The girl he had staying

with him. 

AIRYNN: I was this close to

moving out.

TIESUN: You know, you don’t

have to be with someone to

have your own place.  I live

alone.  So does Stuu.

AIRYNN: Yeah, I know.

[ He sighs & goes silent again. ]

SCENE 6:

Back at the Salon.

[ Sascha is busy cutting

hair while Lorenzo is

entertaining the clients.

Sipping a glass a wine,

he finishes telling a joke

to the crowd. ]

LORENZO: So anyway, whose

next?

“I am!”

[ Recognizing the voice, he

Immediately turns around. ]

SASCHA: Hey Acer.

[ She yells from her station. ]

ACE: What the hell is going

on in here?

I didn’t authorize this.

[ Sascha looks at Lorenzo,

coming over immediatly. ]

LORENZO: I’m proving that

this was a good idea.  Look

at all these people.

[ Ace takes a second to

look around. ]

ACE: It is a nice crowd.  

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. ]
