Hey let’s go upstairs.
Debbie continues to caress Jon’s arm. Jon looks at Matt in the distance. Matt mouths the word ‘yeah’ and gives a thumbs up to Jon.
JON
Sure.
He grabs his beer bottle and drinks it while they leave the scene. The babysitter re-enters the room. She walks on over to Matt. Her hand covers the receiver of the phone.
BABYSITTER (to Matt)
Hey, do you live here?
MATT
Sometimes.
BABYSITTER
Cool. Could you drop off Molly at
home soon? I have to go, it’s an
emergency.
MATT
Alright.
BABYSITTER (to phone)
Yeah, your neighbour is watching
her. I’m sorry to bother you. Bye.
The babysitter clicks her phone shut.
BABYSITTER (to Matt)
My rides here, adios!
The babysitter leaves the scene.
Molly is sitting next to the monkey where the babysitter previously was.
WOMAN
Hey little girl. Do you like
slushies?
MOLLY
Yeah.
The woman hands a margarita to Molly.
WOMAN
This is a strawberry margarita.
You’ll like it.
Molly takes the drink and sips it. She then makes a disgusted face.
WOMAN
Give it a few more sips and you
won’t notice that.
JON’S BEDROOM
Jon and Debbie sit on his bed. He has red lipstick on his face.
JON
It’s like she doesn’t even want
to be with me.
DEBBIE
That’s not true. Why would she
invite you out to dinner?
JON
Good point. Could you hand me that
box of tissues?
Debbie grabs the box of tissues off the end table and hands it to Jon.
DEBBIE
Look, I’m gonna go back downstairs.
It was nice meeting you.
Debbie gets off the bed and leaves while Jon blows his nose.

Jon walks down the stairs. Sandra opens the front door. She looks furious. Doug walks in as well.
SANDRA
Where’s my daughter?

kitchen.
JON
Crazy night.
SHAWN
Yeah. It was good until some guy
showed up and took a girl I liked.
JON
Who was she?
SHAWN
The girl Matt introduced to us,
Debbie. We talked for a bit, then
after when I tried to find her she
was with some buff guy.
JON
Meet any others?
SHAWN
Yeah, a really drunk woman, but
She ended up with the monkey.
JON
I wonder if it’s still here?
SHAWN
No, it’s gone. Matt had to drop it
off before the zoo opened.
Jon gets up and enters the…
KITCHEN
He pouts himself a cup of coffee. At the window ledge there is a bright light and the image of Herman appears.
JON
Herman? Is that you?
HERMAN
You don’t need to worry about me,
Jon.
Jon
But you left. Nothing talks anymore.
HERMAN
It’s alright. I was wrong about
success. Do what makes you happy.
JON
You made me happy.
HERMAN
Make some cookies then.

Sandra takes the plate.
SANDRA
Matt called. Said something about
The babysitter telling him she left
and you didn’t know.
JON
So we’re good then!
SANDRA
No. You allowed her to be there.
Jon is speechless.
SANDRA
I’ll think on it.
Sandra slowly closes the door.
JON
(loudly)
But, I need to finish the movie.
Molly’s been bugging me to finish.
I have until 8 P.M.

SANDRA
Kinda depressing. Like Romeo and
Juliette. But overall… intense.
MOLLY
I helped mom.
SANDRA
And a good job you did.
(to Jon)
I was offered by Doug to play that
role awhile ago.
JON
I knew about that. Why didn’t you
take it?
SANDRA
If I overdo my career, Molly would
live in a house surrounded by
parazzi and never have a normal
childhood. And Doug seemed to want
a somewhat known actress over a
newbie. He said it would help the
films business.
JON
So you’re saying he was trying to
use you?
Sandra nods.
Jon burns the movie onto a DVD. He puts some papers, a flash drive, and the DVD into a big envelope. The doorbell rings. Jon looks at the clock. It indicates 8 o’clock.

JON
Don’t worry, it’s finished.
DOUG
(shocked)
Wow. That’s what I had to tell you.
(sighing)
I lied. The deadline never changed.
JON
I figured.
DOUG
How?
JON
Okay I didn’t know. But, no one
else called me about edits. It
seemed strange.
DOUG
Then why still finish it?
JON
My mortgage payments were late. An
early showing would help.
DOUG
This isn’t a B-rated movie this
time. It’ll help you.
Doug gets off the porch and gets into his car. He leaves. Jon closes the door.
