Episode 1: Draft 1

If anyone would like a script in proper format I'd be more than happy to send that along...I just don't know how to copy appleworks docs into blogger without losing all the format details (who does?).

FADE IN:


INT. SAM’s APARTMENT - DAY

SAM, an up and coming artist in his early thirties is sitting on a vintage black leather sofa in the middle of his spacious, open-concept, loft apartment. HE has a pad of drawing paper in his lap, a pen in one hand in the phone in the other. On the phone is a woman from a cancer benefit. She is calling in regards to SAM’s participation in the benefit. He has 24 hours to create a piece of art that will be auctioned off.

SAM
(into phone)
Oh yeah, I’m really excited about it...
Oh I know it’s a great opportunity...
Yes, I really am honored...Of course.

MADDY, a leggy, twenty something fashion model enters through the front door of the apartment, behind where SAM is sitting.

MADDY
Hey.

SAM look back when he hears MADDY, smiles and mouths, ‘one minute’.

SAM
(into phone)
Oh sure...Yeah, I’m ready to get
started as soon as I get off the phone.

MADDY heads into SAM’s kitchen, to the right of where HE is sitting and begins to look through the cabinets for something to eat.

SAM
(into phone)
Yeah, I’ve had this idea for some
time...Of course it’s a good one...
Yes...OK, then, until tomorrow...Yeah,
I look forward to seeing the final
product too...Bye now.

SAM hangs up and throws his head back as if to say, ‘oh my god!’. MADDY is still rummaging, but takes a second to lean over the islang bridging the living room and the kitchen.
2
MADDY
What’s up?

SAM
I’m going crazy! That was the girl
from the cancer auction on the phone
and I told her I was just about to get
started on something ‘blow your mind’ amazing...and...

MADDY
(her head in the
refrigerator)
And?

SAM
I don’t have ANYTHING to get started
on...nevermind something amazing. I
have...absolutely...no idea what I’m
going to do...and, I have twenty-four
hours!

MADDY quits rummaging.

MADDY
Why don’t you just paint something?

SAM
Just paint something? I’m not a
painter.

MADDY
You’re an artist, isn’t that what you
do? Paint?

SAM
no, not me.

MADDY comes out from behind the island and sits in a club chair to the right of the sofa with a box of ‘Cap’n Crunch’ in her hand.

MADDY
Then, what do you do?

SAM
It’s very complicated. My work
consists of-

MADDY picks up the box of ‘Cap’n Crunch’ and dumps it into her open mouth.


3
SAM
Well...it consists of many different
mediums. I incorporate photography...
sculptural aspects...and ‘other’ stuff,
depending on what it is that i’m doing.

MADDY has finished chewing her mouthful of ‘Cap’n Crunch’.

MADDY
You don’t need to go into detail, I
don’t really care.

MADDY gets up and goes back to the island.

SAM
Then, why would you ask?

MADDY
I don’t know. I guess it felt like
you wanted me to ask, so...

MADDY takes a cake out of the refrigerator. SAM is looking at his pad with his pen to the paper, but not writing anything.

SAM
So, you don’t care what I do?

MADDY
Should I?

MADDY gets a knife out and begins to cut out a piece of the cake.

SAM
Well, I guess you don’t have to...
I mean.

MADDY
You’ve never asked me about what I do.

SAM
But, I know what you do.

MADDY
Maybe you don’t.

SAM looks up, confused at what MADDY’s getting at. She puts the first bite of cake into her mouth.

MADDY
(mouth full)
It’s OK if I have some of this, right?
4
SAM
(annoyed)
What are you doing?!

MADDY
Having some cake?

SAM throws his head back again.

MADDY
What? Do you want a slice?

SAM
(sighs)
No! I bought that cake especially
for the cancer thing!

MADDY
It’s REALLY good.

SAM
That’s kinda why I bought it.

MADDY
Well, you can still bring it...I
mean there’s still at least seven
slices.

SAM
(laughs)
Why are you even here?

MADDY
At this time of day, most people are
at work, so-

SAM
So, it’s not because I’m SUCH a great
guy or a great friend...it’s because
I’m the only one home?

MADDY
SAM...of course. And, I knew you’d
have...
(holds up fork
and smiles)

SAM
(rolls his eyes)
Cut me a slice.

MADDY puts her plate down and begins to cut another slice. The phone rings.
5
SAM
I’ll get it.

MADDY
(holds up knife)
OK!

SAM picks up the phone.

SAM
(into phone)
Hello.


EXT. STREET - DAY (CONT’D)

A well-dressed brother and sister, JACK and JANE, are walking down a busy city street. JACK is in his mid twenties and JANE is a few years older, but appears to be far well advanced in her level of maturity. JACK is on the phone.

JACK
(into phone)
Hey, Sammy!

JANE
(yells)
Hi Sam.

INTERCUT:

SAM
(into phone)
Where are you?
(pause)
I thought you were coming by to pick
up your tux.

INTERCUT:

JACK
(into phone)
Can you just bring it to dinner?

INTERCUT:

SAM
(into phone)
Yeah, fine.
(pause)
You’re breaking up, I can hardly
hear you.
6
INTERCUT:

JACK
(into phone, yelling)
I’m going to the grocery store,
do you need anything?

INTERCUT:

SAM
(into phone)
I can hear you! Um...
(pause)
As a matter of fact...

INTERCUT:

JANE
(to JACK)
What does he want?

JACK
(into phone)
What do you want?

INTERCUT:

SAM
I need to bring some kind of dessert
to the cancer benefit.

INTERCUT:

JACK
(into phone)
Like what...what do you want?

JANE
What does he want?

INTERCUT:

SAM
(into phone)
Well, I already bought a cake, but
it’s been compromized, so, just pick
out anything that looks decent.

INTERCUT:

JACK
(into phone)
Does it matter how it tastes?
7
JANE
What does he want you to taste?

INTERCUT:

SAM
(into phone)
How are you going to taste something
before you buy it?

INTERCUT:

JACK
(into phone)
I don’t know...Oh wait, I’ll just buy
something that I’ve had before that I
know is good.
(pause)
Maybe cheesecake.

INTERCUT:

SAM
(into phone)
That sounds fine.

INTERCUT:

JANE
No; devil’s food!

JACK
(into phone)
Jane wanted devil’s food.

INTERCUT:

SAM
(into phone)
I don’t care...whatever.

INTERCUT:

JACK
(into phone)
Oh, I haven’t had devil’s food cake
in forever.

JANE mouths, ‘me neither’.

INTERCUT:


8
SAM
(into phone)
You’re not going to forget, right?
This is important.

MADDY
He’ll forget.

INTERCUT:

JACK
(into phone)
Have I ever let you down? No, wait...
don’t answer that.

JANE
Tell him that I’m going to get a new
dress for the cancer thing right now.

JACK
(into phone)
Jane wants me to tell you that she’s
going to buy a new dress for the
benefit.

INTERCUT:

SAM
(to MADDY)
Jane’s going to buy a new dress.

MADDY
Where?

SAM
(into phone)
Where?

INTERCUT:

JACK
(to JANE)
Where?

JANE
The Rack.

JACK
(into phone)
The Rack.

INTERCUT:

9
SAM
(to MADDY)
The Rack.

MADDY
No, not the Rack! Tell her I’ll meet
her at Barney’s in half an hour.

SAM
(into phone)
Tell her-
(to MADDY)
You tell her!

SAM hands the phone to MADDY.

MADDY
(into phone)
Jane?

INTERCUT:

JACK
(into phone)
Jack.

INTERCUT:

MADDY
(into phone)
Jack, tell Jane to meet me at Barney’s
in half an hour, K?

MADDY hangs up.

MADDY
I gotta go.

SAM doesn’t know what to say. MADDY exits, leaving her dish and the cake out.

INTERCUT:

JACK
You have to meet Maddy at Barney’s
in half an hour.

JANE
You’re kidding, right!?

JACK shrugs his shoulders so that his sister knows that he’s not kidding. JANE punches him in the arm.

10
INT. ELEVATOR - DAY

MADDY is waiting in the elevator. It stops on a floor and DORIS, an older women from the building, gets in.

MADDY
(cheery)
Good afternoon Doris.

DORIS
Well, you have a special glow today
Maddy, don’t you. What’s the occasion?

MADDY
I’m going shopping!

DORIS
Isn’t that exciting.

The elevator stops at MADDY’s floor.

MADDY
Yes, it is.

MADDY gets out.

MADDY
Now, you have a wonderful day too, K?

DORIS
I’ll certainly try.


INT. CONVENIENT STORE - DAY

JACK is standing at the register with a roll of lottery tickets. HE looks frustrated, obviously not winning. The CASHIER, an asian man with a large grin on his face is watching him scratch away as there are few other people in the store. JACK scratches the last ticket.

CASHIER
Five more, Mr. Jack?

JACK
Oh...I really shouldn’t.

JACK takes out his wallet and sees that it’s almost empty.

JACK
Yeah, what the heck. Give me...
five ‘Lucky Aces’.

11
INT. SAM’s APARTMENT - DAY

SAM is on the phone with his mother, still sitting on the couch with his pad and pen.

SAM
(into phone)
Yes Ma, I’m very excited...
(holds the phone
away from his ear)
uh huh...yeah...yup...
(puts the phone
back to his ear)
Yeah, it is a big deal...I know...Of
course I tried it on...Why wouldn’t
it fit...Ma, I’m pretty sure I
haven’t grown since the last time I
wore it...Yes, I’ve worn it since
prom...ok...I love you too...I’ve
got to go, I have another call...
Yup, bye.

SAM pushes the ‘talk’ button on the phone.

SAM
(into phone)
Hello?


INT. BARNEY’s - DRESSING ROOM - DAY (CONT’D)

JANE is in the dressing room with at least four or five dress hung up for her to try on.

JANE
(into phone)
I’m going to kill you!

INTERCUT:

SAM
(into phone, joking)
Who is this?

INTERCUT:

JANE
(into phone)
Sam!

INTERCUT:

12
SAM
(into phone)
Is this that girl from high school?...
The one with the lazy eye? Cause, it
wasn’t me that made fun of you...I
actually...had a little crush on you.

INTERCUT:

JANE
(into phone,
sarcastic)
Who are you?

INTERCUT:

SAM
(into phone)
I’m Sam, who are you?

INTERCUT:

JANE
(into phone)
Someone that’s seriously mad at
you...I can’t believe you told her
I was going shopping! That was for
your ears only! You know how she is.

INTERCUT:

SAM
(into phone)
Crazy? Annoying? Obtrusive?
Imposing?

INTERCUT:

JANE
(into phone)
Yes, yes, yes and yes!

INTERCUT:

SAM
(into phone)
Before you say anything else,
remember that YOU get to spend the
rest of the day shopping. I on
the other hand have 24hrs to create
something amazing that people
are actually going to want to bid on-

13
INTERCUT:

JANE
(into phone)
Sam, it’s a charity auction! People
don’t actually want the stuff they bid
on; they’re bidding because they want
to give their money away.

INTERCUT:

SAM
Is it so wrong for me to want someone
who bids on my ‘art’ to actually want it?

INTERCUT:

JANE
(into phone)
I’m just saying that whatever you do
will raise money...there’s no pressure.

INTERCUT:

SAM
(into phone)
So, you’d rather be doing this than
trying on couture gowns at ‘Barney’s’?

INTERCUT:

JANE
(into phone)
Sam, do you have any idea what it’s
like for an ‘ordinary girl’ like
myself to go shopping with a model?

MADDY (O.S)
How’s that little black one working
out for you?

JANE pokes her head out from behind the curtain. MADDY is standing there with a big smile on her face and three more dresses in her hand.

JANE
(whispers)
One second.

JANE goes back into the dressing room.



14
JANE
(into phone)
OK, I have to go.

INTERCUT:

SAM
(into phone)
Has she tried on any lingerie yet?

INTERCUT:

JANE
(into phone)
Ya know, men like you are really
great for a woman’s self-esteem!

INTERCUT:

SAM
(into phone)
Good luck.

INTERCUT:

JANE hangs up and opens the curtain.

MADDY
So?

JANE
Maddy, the black one would be great...
if I actually had the boobs to fill
it out, but-

MADDY
How about the red one?

JANE
I LOVE the red one...but, it’s $1200,
and that’s about $1000 more than I
was planning on spending.

MADDY
Don’t worry about that, let’s get the
red one.

JANE
But-



15
INT. CONVENIENT STORE - DAY

JACK is still scratching lottery tickets.

JACK
(to CASHIER)
This is the one...I can feel it.

JACK scratches the ticket.

CASHIER
For your sake Mr. Jack, I hope so.

JACK throws the ticket on the counter.

JACK
Come on!

CASHIER shrugs his soldiers. JACK takes out his wallet and counts his money. He then takes out his grocery list from his back pocket and compares.

JACK
(to CASHIER)
One more five dollar one.

CASHIER
Just one?

JACK hands the CASHIER five dollars.

JACK
Just one and then cut me off.

CASHIER gives JACK the ticket. HE kisses it and looks up, as if to ask God to please give him a winner. He looks down and scratches away feverishly. It’s not a winner. He throws it on the counter on top of the rest the pile of losers..

JACK
One more.

CASHIER
Yes, sir.


EXT. SREET - DAY

JANE and MADDY are walking down a busy street, both have Barney’s bags.


16
JANE
You’re sure...I mean ONE HUNDRED
PERCENT CERTAIN that I can bring
it back without any problems?

MADDY
JANE, listen to me. Every model I
know, myself included, does all of
their shopping at Barney’s. It’s
the ONE and ONLY ‘swanky’ store
where you can buy stuff, wear it
once and bring it back without any
question.

JANE
So, you’ve done this before...and
no problems?

MADDY
More times than I can count and
there’s never been a problem.

JANE
May I ask why you do it?

MADDY
Anyone that’s anyone doesn’t wear the
same thing twice...and for people who
can’t afford to have closets full of
worn, never to be worn again clothes,
this is the perfect solution. I can
look amazing and it doesn’t really
cost me anything.

JANE
I don’t know...it just doesn’t feel
right.

MADDY
Maybe not now, but tomorrow night when
you put it on and all eyes are on you
and that AMAZING $1200 dress you’ll be
thanking me...big time!

JANE
I know, it does look sooo good...But,
this is the first and last time.

MADDY
If you say so.



17
JANE
And, please don’t tell my brother,
or SAM.

MADDY ‘zips’ her lips shut.


INT. SAM’s APARTMENT - DAY

SAM hasn’t moved from his couch. His pen is pressed firmly against the pad on his lap, but it’s not moving. He throws his hands up in disgust.

SAM
How can she compare shopping...to this!


INT. GROCERY STORE - DAY

JACK is pushing around a cart, list in hand. Up and down the aisles, he finally ends up at the freshly made dessert section. He looks over their selection and then looks around suspiciously to see if anyone is watching him. Satisfied that no one is watching, he picks up a cake and slides it in the underside of the carriage. JACK then proceeds to the checkout where the CASHIER scans through all of his items.

CASHIER
That’ll be $29.67.

JACK takes out his wallet and is relieved to see a $20 and a $10.

JACK
Just enough.

JACK hands the $30 to the CASHIER.

CASHIER
Thirty-three cents is your change.
Have a nice day.

JACK
Thanks, you too.

JACK smiles at HER and pushed his cart toward the door. Just as he is about to go through the automatic doors JACK spots a SECURITY GUARD. The SECURITY GUARD lets JACK walk out of the store and then rushes after him.

SECURITY
Excuse me, sir.
18
JACK
(turns around)
Me?

SECURITY
Yes, you.

JACK
What...seems to be the problem?

SECURITY
Did you pay for that cake?

JACK
What cake?

SECURITY
The one that’s conveniently placed
under your carriage.

JACK looks down and pretends to be surprised.

JACK
Where’d that come from?

SECURITY
Sir, I’m going to have to ask you to
come with me.


INT. DINER - NIGHT

SAM, MADDY and JANE are sitting in a booth at the diner they frequently visit. SAM is squished in one side with JACK’s tuxedo and on the other JANE is reading the menu and MADDY is trying to flag down a waiter.

SAM
So...you two had a fun day?

MADDY
Sam, it was a great day! Jane’s
dress is absolutely gorgeous and
she looks stunning in it-

JANE
(puts down her menu)
-Oh, stop it!




19
MADDY
And, after Barney’s she took me by
her gallery and it was SO amazing...
Now, when I’m done with modelling I
think I might want to...get into the
art business.

SAM
(looking at JANE)
That’s really terrific...And, to think,
all afternoon I was afraid that after a
day together, you might be ready to pull
out each other’s hair...I don’t know why
I ever would have thought that.

MADDY
Me neither. I knew we were going to
have a blast from the second I left
your house.

A Waitress comes and pours coffee.

JANE
It was fun...And, I never would have
got my dress if Maddy wasn’t there, so...

SAM’s phone rings. He struggles to find it and when he does checks the caller ID.

SAM
It’s JACK.
(into phone)
Hello.

JANE
Tell him I’m not waiting to order.

SAM
(into phone)
You’re where?


INT. SECURITY OFFICE - NIGHT

SAM, MADDY and JANE are in a tiny office with the SECURITY GUARD. There is a tv on a metal table. Playing is the camera footage of JACK eyeing the cake, looking around and then putting it under the carriage.

SAM
At least he didn’t forget.

20
JANE
This isn’t funny.

SECURITY
No, ma’am, it’s not.

JANE
He’s just...so smart...and at the
same time so amazingly dumb.

SAM
This is my fault...I mean...

Another security guard brings JACK into the already crowded room. He has a stupid grin on his face.

JACK
Well, that wasn’t particularly
pleasant.

JANE
What were you thinking?

JACK
Relax.

JANE
Relax?!

SAM
(to GUARD)
Is he all set to go?

GUARD
You can take him, but we have his
photo on file and I don’t want to
see him back in this store or next
time you’ll be posting bail.

JANE
Sir, there won’t be a next time.
(looks at JACK)
Right?

JACK
Right sis, never again...never,
never, never.






21
JANE
(to GUARD)
Thank you and we’re very sorry for
the trouble.
(to JACK)
Come on.

SAM
(to JACK)
Here, take this.

SAM hands JACK his tuxedo. JANE and JACK leave the office. MADDY follows. SAM waits behind.

SAM
Did he say why he paid for
everything BUT the cake?

GUARD
Yeah, he gave me some crazy excuse
about buying to many scratch tickets.

SAM
Thanks again.

SAM exits.


EXT. STREET - OUTSIDE SUPERMARKET - NIGHT (CONT’D)

JACK, JANE and MADDY are waiting as SAM comes out.

JANE
Do you still want to go eat?

JACK
I’m starving.

MADDY
Me too...all that shopping really
built up my appetite.

JANE
Sam?

SAM
No, that’s OK. I have to go in
and...get a cake.




22
JACK
They probably still have mine in the
security office...they said something
about ‘evidence’.

SAM
Yeah, I’ll go in and ask, and then
I’ve got to get home and start
working on my ‘art’.

JANE
So, you know what you’re going to do?

SAM
I think I’ve finally got my
necessary inspiration.

SAM turns to go back into the grocery store.

MADDY
I’ll bring you home something from
the diner.

SAM turns back around.

SAM
That sounds good.


INT. SAM’s APARTMENT - NIGHT 2

SAM is walking around his kitchen, on the phone with his mother. He’s wearing a tuxedo.

SAM
(into phone)
Yeah, ma...I wish you could be here
too...

JACK and JANE enter. They’re all dressed up and arguing.

SAM
(blocks phone)
I’m on the phone!
(into phone)
No, nothing, ma...just Jack and
Jane...yes, i’ll tell them you say
hello...we’re going to be late...I
love you too.
(hangs up)
Wow, that is some dress!

23
JANE
Ya think?

SAM
Are you kidding, you look...like
a movie star.

JACK
Did she tell you how much she paid
for it? Twelve hundred big ones!

JANE
(annoyed)
Jack, I told you not to..!

SAM
$1200?! For a dress?

JACK
And get this; she’s going to wear
it and then she’s going to bring
it back to Barney’s.

SAM
Bring it back? This has to be
MADDY’s idea.

MADDY walks in.

SAM
Speak of the devil-

JACK
Mmmm...Devil’s food-

MADDY
-Did I hear my name?

MADDY goes to fridge, gets a drink and a glass.

MADDY
(holding up a glass)
Anyone?

JANE
She said she does it all the time...
everyone does it.

SAM
And that means it’s right?



24
JACK
Yeah, no...you’re crossing the line,
sis.

JANE
Jack, you stole a cake!

SAM
Correction; tried to steal cake.

JACK
But, that was not for me...it was for
Sam.

SAM
And that makes it OK.

JANE
(near tears)
But, look at it...I look like a
movie star.

SAM
Come to think of it, you kinda look
like Winona Ryder.

JANE gives JACK and SAM a guilty look and softly screams.

MADDY
We need to leave like...five minutes
ago, or we’re going to be late.


INT. FUNCTION HALL - TABLE - NIGHT 2

Cancer benefit auction. SAM, MADDY, JACK and JANE are sitting one one side of a table for eight. They are right besides the dance floor and three tables back from the main stage and podium. People are just starting to dance as a live band plays. Two GUYS come up behind JANE and MADDY and tap them on the shoulders.

GUY 1
Would you ladies like to dance?

MADDY
Na, I don’t really dance.

GUY 2
(to JANE)
How about you?

25
JANE
Yeah, I’d love to.

JANE gets up and is lead to the dance floor.


INT. FUNCTION HALL - NIGHT 2

Later. JANE is dancing away with a drink in hand, as is JACK. SAM and MADDY are in the dessert line.

MADDY
So, what did you come up with?

SAM
Why are you all of a sudden so
interested in my work?

MADDY
I meant what kind of cake did you
get...

SAM rolls his eyes at her.

MADDY
Kidding! No, I want to know what
you ‘created’...I mean...one day I
might want to sell your work.

SAM
Ha! You and Jane could share an office.

MADDY
Don’t laugh, it might happen. So, tell
me what you did!

SAM
You’ll see it soon enough at the same
time everyone else does.

MADDY
Come on, give me a hint.

SAM
The best inspiration always comes from
events that happen in an artist’s
life...friends, family...all that.

MADDY
Oh god, you didn’t do something about
Jane’s dress, did you?

26
INT. FUNCTION HALL - TABLE - NIGHT 2

The dance floor is almost empty, although JACK and JANE are still out there. SAM and MADDY are back at the table, just about done with dessert.

MADDY
That was really good.

SOMEONE on stage taps the microphone and everyone turns to look.

MAN
(on stage)
Hi everyone, could you all please make
your way back to your seats. The
‘Art in 24’ charity auction will be
starting shortly and I want to make
sure you all have your checkbooks out
and are ready to give, give, give to a
great cause.

JACK and JANE return from the dance floor, both are dripping sweat.

JANE
Oh, this is so much fun!

JACK
I met this great girl with cancer...
and she’s hot!

SAM
I’m sure that won’t be the last of you
she sees tonight.

JACK
(sits down)
How’s the cake?

MADDY
Absolutely delicious!

JANE is fanning herself to try and cool down. SHE picks up a glass of water from the place setting in front of SAM and guzzles it down.


INT. FUNCTION HALL - STAGE - NIGHT 2

Various shots of auction pieces as the come up for sale and the people in the audience raising their paddles to bid.
27
AUCTIONEER
Up next we have a work by an
up-and-coming local artist Sam
Braden. This is, ‘The Favor’.

The cover is pulled off of the work to reveal a six foot square photograph. It’s JACK’s security mugshot with HIS losing scratch tickets forming a faux border.


INT. FUNCTION HALL - TABLE - NIGHT 2 (CONT’D)

JANE and MADDY look at SAM and laugh.

SAM
So, what do you think?

PAUSE

JACK
That’s awesome!



END CREDITS



INT. BARNEY’s - DAY 3

JANE and MADDY are at the customer service counter.

JANE
What do you mean you can’t take it
back? I don’t like it, I don’t
want it.

CASHIER
Well, maybe you should have thought
about that before you wore it.

CASHIER hold up the dress so that JANE can see it more clearly.

CASHIER
There are sweat stains under the
armpits and the dress, for lack of
a better word, stinks.

JANE
That isn’t fair.

28
CASHIER
Life isn’t fair.

JANE sighs in disbelief.

CASHIER
Just remember, the next time you buy
something if you think you might be
bringing it back, DON’T WEAR IT!

JANE
(disgusted)
Fine.

JANE takes the dress from the CASHIER and walks away. MADDY follows.

JANE
What...what happened?...I thought?

MADDY
I said you could wear it and bring
it back...not dance in it and sweat
in it...I mean, come on, Barney’s
can’t sell smelly clothes.

JANE keeps walking. MADDY follows.

MADDY
Just think, now you have a great
dress that you can wear to all
