Hurry
FADE IN:
INT. LIVING ROOM OF SMALL, RUN-DOWN SAN FRANCISCO APARTMENT
The camera pans the living room, crammed with bright orange decorations, a large bright orange couch and a bright green 1950's style armchair. The sound of the front door opening to our right and the sound of a shower running to our left. A young woman with a long Betty Page haircut with hot pink tips on the ends of her hair enters from the right.
C
(calling out from the front door)
Hi
ME
(calling out from the shower)
Hi
Sound of the shower cutting off. A young woman wearing a bright red towel, enters from our left. Droplets of water drip from her hair onto her shoulders as she rushes from the bathroom to greet C. C and ME embrace.
C
I'm so glad that you're coming with me to dinner tonight.
I haven't seen my father in years.
ME kisses C warmly on the lips, holds her a second longer and then releases C from her embrace. ME heads into the bedroom.
INT. BEDROOM
A small bedroom is tightly packed with a china cabinet full of clothes, a queen-sized bed with crumpled linens, and a desk with papers piled up on every flat surface, except for the small spot allotted for a laptop. A large, metal, bright yellow bumble bee that once lived in a children's playground juts into the room from in front of an old clanking radiator.
ME rummages through the top drawer of a narrow white cabinet tucked behind the bedroom door. A colorful array of undergarments is tightly packed into the drawer. ME appears to be searching for one pair of underwear in particular. C follows ME into the bedroom.
C
You do realize that you've got 30 minutes to get ready, right?
For future information, it usually takes you at least 45.
ME gives up on finding the orange thong, sighs and grabs the bright yellow g-string and slides it on under her towel. ME smiles lovingly at C.
ME
Don't worry. I'll be ready on time.
As ME turns from C, we see a look suggesting mild panic as she heads toward the closet.
INT. BATHROOM
ME is squeezing herself into the corner of the closet-sized bathroom to apply makeup in front of the bathroom mirror.
C
Well, I'm going to take C-dog out to pee while you finish
getting ready.
ME
Sounds like a great idea. I promise I'll be ready when you get back.
A large dog with Brindel fur hears the jangle of her leash at the front door and comes barrelling out from her bed in a metal crate in the bedroom. She runs up to ME and starts licking her exposed thigh. ME addresses C-dog while continuing to apply makeup at the mirror
ME
(whining)
C-dog, don't lick me. You know I hate it when you do that.
C
C-dog, come on. Let's go.
C opens the front door and the dog runs out.
INT. DIFFERENT LIVING ROOM
This living room, although it has the exact same layout, is decorated sparsely with cream colored, subdued decor.
A young woman with curly blonde hair is holding a cell phone against her ear. C and ME sit on the couch. ME smiles, knowingly at C.
ME
(whispering)
You thought I was going to be the one to make us late.
The curly-haired woman hangs up the phone and heads off into the adjacent bedroom.
MC
That was A. She's just got off the N-Judah train now.
We might as well wait for her and drive over together.
