News reporter KYLE CARPENTER is reporting live from
the fire at the Rockland Construction corporate offices
KYLE
This is Kyle
Carpenter reporting to your live from
Kyle puts
down is microphone.
KYLE
That’s a
wrap. Let’s get the hell out of
here. This place is a goner.
Caroline
overhears Kyle and gets annoyed and stomps over to confront him with Laurence
following her.
CAROLINE
Look, I know
you don’t have any vested interest in this place, but do you see all these
people standing around here. Rockland
Construction is their life. Their livelihood. So
maybe you should keep your comments to yourself.
KYLE
Simmer down,
honey. Don’t take it so personally.
CAROLINE
Don’t take it
personally? I’ve dedicated the last ten
years of my life to this place. That
building meant something to me.
KYLE
We all have
our issues, lady. I’m sure you’ll get
over it.
LAURENCE
Hey buddy. Don’t talk to the lady like that. Can’t you see she’s upset?
KYLE
And just who
may I ask are you?
LAURENCE
I’m the guy
who’s going to kick your ass if you don’t start showing some respect.
BARBARA is
waiting by the picnic area when FELICA arrives.
FELICIA
There you
are. I wasn’t sure if you were going to
show.
BARBARA
You’re
late. I don’t have all day to stand
around this dirty old park and wait for you.
FELICIA
Of course you
do. Because you have
no other choice. Now do you have
my money or not?
BARBARA
It’s right
here. But first, let me make something
clear. This is first and ONLY time you
will EVER extort money from me. You got
it?
FELICIA
Oh honey, you
are not exactly in a position to be talking to me in that tone. Hand it over.
BARBARA
I’m telling
you, Felicia, if you say a word about this to Paul, I’ll…
FELICIA
You’ll
what?!! Yeah, that’s right. That’s what I thought.
BARBARA
Just take the
damn money. I have to go.
FELICIA
Gladly.
Felicia
snatches the money out of Barbara’s hand.
FELICIA
Mmmm. I can smell the
green.
BARBARA
I hope you
choke on it.
Barbara walks
away.
FELICIA
Oh
Barbara. Little do you know this is just
the first of many in your installment plan.
ANGELA is
lying in bed with BRIAN after they have made love for the first time.
ANGELA
I can’t
believe I’m lying in bed at five in the afternoon.
BRIAN
I hope it was
worth leaving work early for.
ANGELA
(half giggle)
Oh, it
was. I’m so happy we’re back on
track. I can’t believe I almost ruined
it by doubting you.
BRIAN
That whole
secret admirer thing is pretty creepy.
But you haven’t heard from him in a while so hopefully it’s over.
ANGELA
I don’t even
want to think about that anymore. I just
want to focus on the future.
BRIAN
I hope you
see me when you think about the future, Angela.
Because I definitely see you.
The telephone
rings on the nightstand by the bed.
ANGELA
Ugh, I should
have turned the ringer off.
BRIAN
It’s okay.
ANGELA
I’m sorry,
Brian. It might be the hospital.
BRIAN
Hey, I’m a
doctor. I completely understand.
Angela picks
up the call.
ANGELA
Hello.
KAREN
Angela, it’s Karen. What are
you doing at home? Are you sick?
ANGELA
Oh hi
Karen. I didn’t get a chance to talk to
you before I left. Brian stopped by and
I decided to take the rest of the day off since my calendar was clear.
KAREN
Oh. You’re with Brian?
ANGELA
Oh yes. Very much so.
KAREN
What does
that mean?
ANGELA
I think you
can figure it out.
KAREN
Angela, you
slept with him!!!!
ANGELA
Yes. But look, I’m kind of in the middle of
something here, so we’ll talk later. Or tomorrow. Okay?
KAREN
But…
ANGELA
(rushing her off)
Bye.
Angela
quickly hangs up.
ANGELA
It was just
Karen.
BRIAN
Good. Now where were we?
Ian, it’s
great to see you, it really is, but unfortunately all hell is breaking loose
around here. Can I take a rain check?
IAN
Sure. Fine. What’s another three years in the grand
scheme of things? It’s not like we’re
really family anyway.
Bite your
tongue, Ian Levin. We are family and don’t you ever forget it.
IAN
Dan Levin may
be my biological father, but he’s been in and out of psych wards my whole live
so much that I don’t even know him. And
you, you’ve been way to busy with your job to care. My Mom and sister are my family, not the Levins.
Look, Dan has
obviously been on your mind lately and that’s why you stopped by. I’m sure having him back in
IAN
But that’s
never going to change, so when can I see him?
Soon.
I promise.
IAN
Well, it
might be sooner than you think.
What is that
supposed to mean?
Caroline Hart
rushes into the office.
CAROLINE
Caroline, I
heard about the fire, are you alright?
CAROLINE
I’m fine, but
I want a full investigation into why this happened. Too many bad things have happened to me
lately with no answers.
Well, if
you’re talking about the almost hit-and-run, then I do have some answers for
you.
CAROLINE
What do you
mean?
I think we’ve
found the car that tried to run you down.
