" 1 Last Shop (Part 2) "

SCENE 1: Later the same night…

[ Kyle walks up to a back door.

Showing the bouncer his ID,

he enters & finds a seat at

the bar. ]

“What kind of place is this?”

[ He wonders looking around

& seeing mainly women

waiting in the audience. ]

[A female bartender spots

Kyle sitting alone. ]

“Can I get you a drink?”

KYLE: Yes please.  A Corona.

[ She takes the top off &

hands it to him. ]

KYLE: Thanks.  My friend

asked me here.  I have

no idea why. 

BARTENDER: What’s his name?

KYLE: Marty, why?

BARTENDER: You really don’t know.

KYLE: Know what?

[ She smiles at him & walks

away. ]

[ Suddenly the room goes dark

except for a blue spotlight on

the stage. ]

“Ladies, put your hands

together for Party Marty!“

KYLE: Oh my god. 

SCENE 2: In Weis’ bedroom.

[ Joh walks in, sitting down

on the bed. ]

WEIS: I thought I said not

to wake me!  I’m still

totally freaked out

about last night.

JOH:  Well, I don’t think

Trey called the cops, if

that’s your concern.

How did he seem when

you walked away?

WEIS: I couldn’t bare to look.

His bragging pissed me

off to no end though.

JOH: Yeah, didn’t that happen

with Landyn also? I mean,

you broke up with him

pretty randomly over a

 fight, right?

WEIS: Okay, what does that

have to do with anything?

JOH: I’m just saying, you’re

almost eighteen.  Maybe

its time to man up and

apologize for once.

You’re not always right.

[ Joh leaves the room & Weis

buries himself underneath

the covers. ]

SCENE 3: At TA, In Mark’s office.

[ Mark is seated at the desk &

Hahn is standing facing him. ]

HAHN: So the commercial is

set to play on all screens

once an hour now.

MARK: That’s awesome.

Thanks bud. 

[ Mark is searching through

his desk drawer. ]

HAHN: Sure thing.  You

lose something?

MARK: Besides my mind.

Yeah, I can’t seem to

locate my spare store

keys. 

Hopefully they turn up

before the store shuts

down tonight for waxing.

[ Suddenly there’s a knock on

the door & Landyn enters. ]

MARK: Wow, you’re early.

For a change.

[ Landyn smiles. ]

LANDYN: Yeah, we should

go over what you want me

to say at the presentation.

HAHN: Cool. See you two later.

SCENE 4: At Kyle’s apartment.

[ Kyle is sitting on the couch

with Marty at the other end

counting his money.  ]

MARTY: 371, 372…Three

hundred seventy-three

dollars.

KYLE: In one night?

Screw you chico

I can’t even make that

in a week. 

MARTY: Well, you’re

in the wrong industry

my friend.

KYLE: Yeah, I see.

MARTY: Let’s go get food.

[ Marty starts to get up. ]

KYLE: Wait, a second. While

you we’re on stage I got

a strange invite from this

older woman.

[ Kyle hands him a note.

Marty reads it & smirks. ]

MARTY: Yeah, that was

my boss.  She wants you

to audition, I guess.

Hilarious, right?

[ Marty begins to laugh

& Kyle just stares at him. ]

SCENE 5: Back at Joh & Weis’. . .

[  Weis finally comes downstairs. ]

JOH: Hey, you had tons of mail.

Something from school came.

[ Weis sits down on the couch

& starts reading a letter. ]

“Dear Weis L Kardin, Although you

placed 2^nd to the Valedictorian,

at 17 and nine months, you are

the youngest student to walk

at a MSCC graduation.”

JOH: That’s pretty cool.

WEIS: Yeah, I guess. Wait,

there’s more. . .

They want me to give

tomorrow’s speech!

JOH: See, you should really

check the box more often. 

WEIS: Trey’s ignoring me.

The last thing I wanna do

tonight is prepare a speech.

JOH: Then don’t. I invited

some people over.

[ They hear a car horn outside.

Soon Stuu & Tiesun have 

joined them in the living room. ]

JOH: So, you’re the girl from

the video?

TIESUN: That’s me.

STUU: So guess who got

Valedictorian.  This guy!

[ Weis looks away, Joh stays quiet. ]

SCENE 6: Still at Kyle's. . .

[ Marty is almost knocked out

when Kyle approaches him. ]

MARTY: Good shower?

KYLE: Yeah, I’ve had a lot of

time to think.

MARTY:  Passing out for work

soon?

KYLE: No, because I decided

I’m not going back.

[ Marty sits up in surprise. ]

MARTY: What are you talking

about loco?

KYLE: I’m barely paying bills.

I’ll never advance at TA.

That’s why I’m taking your

bosses offer.

[ Meanwhile, Larrie & Jeszyca

are in their living room talking. ]

JESZYCA: I can’t believe you we’re

tied up for three hours all for

some sex fantasy.
LARRIE: Hey, don’t hate.  Yeah,

I didn’t expect her to take it

that far.  But once we got 

going it turned out great.

Trust me, there was a very

happy ending.

JESZYCA: Gross!

SCENE 7: The next morning   

at MSCC Graduation.

[ The crowd applauds & Weis

exits the stage. As the crowd

dispearses, he sees a familiar

face. ]

WEIS: Hey, thanks for coming.

Didn’t think you noticed my

missed calls.

I’m sorry I lost my mind. 

I wish we could go back

to the way things we’re.

[ Trey hands him a paper. ]

WEIS: Is this your new number?

TREY: No, my aunt is a counselor.

I think you should give her a

call. It would be good for you.

WEIS: Wait, what? Hold on.

TREY: Goodbye Weis.

[ Across town, Jeszyca wakes

up to a knock on her door.

She sees Ski on the other 

side. ]

[ 5 minutes later she comes

back inside as Larrie comes

out of his room. ]

LARRIE: Who was that?

JESZYCA: That was Ski.

They found out about

everything.

And I’m fired.
