Frankie Frame


 
FRANKIE:  CAAASS!  Are you here? 
 
THERE’S NO RESPONSE.  FRANKIE PUTS HER PURSE DOWN ON THE COUCH AND SIFTS THROUGH THE MAIL.  SHE SUDDENLY STOPS AT ONE PARTICULAR ENVELOPE.  SHE OPENS IT AND LOOKS AT THE LETTER.
 
FRANKIE:  Oh my God.
 
FRANKIE LEAVES.

Rachel Cory Hutchins

Matt Cory


 
AT BAYCORP, RACHEL IS SITTING AT HER DESK WHEN MATT WALKS IN.
 
MATT:  Hey mom.
RACHEL:  Hi there. 
MATT:  I was wondering if you had gotten my request.
RACHEL:  For remote working?  Yes I certainly did.  I didn’t know you wanted to work from home.  I’m hiring a contractor to renovate the carriage house.  I can hold off on that if you want so you can work down there.
MATT:  Um…mom that’s what I came to tell you.
RACHEL:  What is it?  Is something wrong?
MATT:  I’m…not planning to work at home, or anywhere else in Bay City.
RACHEL:  What?
MATT:  I’m leaving town.
RACHEL:  Oh I had no idea you were planning to leave.  What brought this on?
MATT:  Brianna.  She and I are leaving together.
RACHEL:  Do you need to have your head examined?
MATT:  What do you mean?
RACHEL:  You leaving town is a terrible idea.
 
---------------------------------------------------------------
Sharlene Hudson

John Hudson


 
AT THE FARM, SHARLENE IS ON HER PHONE WHEN JOHN WALKS IN.
 
SHARLENE:  Okay thank you.  I appreciate it.
 
SHARLENE ENDS HER CALL.
 
JOHN:  Who was that?
SHARLENE:  That was my credit card company. 
JOHN:  Looking for an increase on your line?
SHARLENE:  They’re gonna send me a new one.
JOHN:  What happened?
SHARLENE:  I saw a charge on my statement for $500 that I didn’t authorize.  I reported it stolen and they’ve reversed it.
JOHN:  Gotta be careful where you leave your stuff.
SHARLENE:  Excuse me.  I’m always careful with my things.  I don’t even know how this happened, but it’s been rectified. 
 
SHARLENE GRABS HER PURSE.
 
JOHN:  Where are you headed?
SHARLENE:  I’m meeting Gregory for lunch at the Center.
JOHN:  Be safe out there.
SHARLENE:  If you’re talking about Brianna I’m not afraid of her.
JOHN:  You may not have to be.
SHARLENE:  What exactly do you mean?
JOHN:  I can’t keep an eye on her anymore.  She handed in her resignation.
SHARLENE:  Well I have protection if I need it.
JOHN:  I know.  Call me when you get to the Center okay.
SHARLENE:  I will. 
 
THEY KISS EACH OTHER AND SHARLENE LEAVES.  JOHN RECEIVES A PHONE CALL.
 
JOHN:  Hello.
V.O.:  Hi is this John Hudson?
JOHN:  Yes.
V.O.:  This is Bay City Guns and Ammo.  Your merchandise is ready.
JOHN:  Thank you.  Can you hold them until tomorrow?
V.O.”  Sure we can.
JOHN:  Thank you.

Gregory Hudson

Lindsay Winthrop


 
GREGORY IS IN HIS AND LINDSAY’S APARTMENT IN THE LIVING ROOM WHEN HE RECEIVES A TEXT FROM BRIANNA THAT READS:  U OWE 500.  U GOT 24H.
 
GREGORY:  What?   How the hell?   What am I gonna do?
 
LINDSAY WALKS IN FROM THE BEDROOM.
 
LINDSAY:  Do about what?
 
CAMERA PAN ON GREGORY.  SLOW FADE OUT.  END OF PART 1



 
-----------------------------------------------------------------
 
PART 2
 
GREGORY:  Hey babe.  I…I was talking about a favor I was supposed to do for my mom.
LINDSAY:  What kind of favor?
GREGORY:  She needs some stuff moved to the garage.  Some heavy boxes.
LINDSAY:  Oh.
GREGORY:  My dad can’t do it by himself.
LINDSAY:  Of course.  I understand.  Hey are you alright?
GREGORY:  Yeah I’m fine.  Why?
LINDSAY:  You seem a little nervous.
GREGORY:  Oh.  I’m a little jittery about my back going out while trying to move things for my mom.
LINDSAY:  Well maybe the boxes aren’t as heavy as you think.  Just stop if you think it’s too much.
GREGORY:  Will do boss lady.  Are you working today?
LINDSAY:  Yep. 
GREGORY:  I’ll stop by and see you.
LINDSAY:  Okay. 
 
THEY KISS.
 
GREGORY:  Bye.
LINDSAY:  Bye.
 
GREGORY RUSHES OUT.
 
--------------------------------------------------------
 
OUTSIDE THE DOOR, GREGORY SENDS A TEXT TO ELIZABETH:  Need 2 CU ASAP. 
 
ELIZABETH RESPONDS:  K.  Meet at the carriage house
 
--------------------------------------------------------
 
MATT:  The only approval I was seeking was for the remote working, not my love life.
RACHEL:  Matthew how well do you even know her?  You haven’t been dating that long.
MATT:  I don’t have to explain this to you.
RACHEL:  This is rather sudden.  What brought this on?  It seemed like you were happy here, and now you want to leave town with this woman.  I don’t understand this.
MATT:  Now I know how Jamie felt.
RACHEL:  We’re not talking about Jamie.  We’re talking about you.
MATT:  It’s the same thing mom.  You meddled in his love life.  You meddled in Amanda’s, and now mine.  I’m sure you’re gonna do the same thing with Cory and Elizabeth.
RACHEL:  What has this woman done to you?
MATT:  MOM I’m not a child!  Nobody’s done anything to me.  I’m a grown man and I can make my own decisions.  She didn’t twist my arm or anything.  This is what I want.
RACHEL:  My God Matthew I want to believe you, but I don’t have a good feeling about this.
MATT:  I do.  It feels right, and I’m leaving town with Brianna, with or without your blessing.
RACHEL:  Have you even given this any thought?  Forgive me if I’m concerned.  This is happening very quickly.   
MATT:  You met her didn’t you? 
RACHEL:  Yes I did and I would need to know more about her.  Does she have some type of ulterior motive?  Why are you two so insistent on leaving town so fast?  Did you ask yourself those questions?
MATT:  I love her.  That’s why.
RACHEL:  Love isn’t enough honey.  If it were, you wouldn’t be leaving in such a rush.  Something isn’t right about this.  What about Jasmine?
MATT:  She can always come visit.  My choice has been made mom.  Thanks for approving the remote working.  I’m gonna pack up my office.
RACHEL:  You’re making a big mistake.  Please think this over before you leave.
MATT:  It’s a done deal mom.  I’m leaving Bay City with Brianna.
 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
JOHN WALKS TOWARD THE DOOR AND FRANKIE WALKS IN.
 
JOHN: Frankie.  Hey.
FRANKIE:  Where’s Sharlene?
JOHN:  She went out.  What’s going on?
FRANKIE:  You have a minute?
JOHN:  I was on my way to town.
FRANKIE:  It’s important.
 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
AT THE HOSPITAL, BRIANNA WALKS INTO MAGGIE’S ROOM.  MAGGIE LIES PRETENDING TO BE UNCONSCIOUS.  BRIANNA GETS A PHONE CALL FROM MATT AND TURNS TO FACE THE DOOR.
 
BRIANNA:  Well hey handsome.
MATT:  Hey you.
 
MAGGIE OPENS HER EYES AND LISTENS TO BRIANNA’S CONVERSATION.
 
BRIANNA:  I submitted my resignation.
MATT:  Oh you did.  I’m sure it went easier than it went with my mom.
BRIANNA:  Yeah I was gonna ask you about that.  I’m sure that ride was bumpy.
MATT:  Bumpy is an understatement.  She did not approve of my decision at all.
BRIANNA:  I mean I’d be happy to tell Rachel how much we love each other.  I can be very convincing.
MATT:  Don’t I know it.
BRIANNA:  Where is she now? 
MATT:  She was in her office.  I can check.
 
MATT WALKS OVER TO RACHEL’S OFFICE AND LOOKS INSIDE.
 
MATT:  She’s not there. 
BRIANNA:  Did she go home?  I can stop by there.
MATT:  I’ll call her.  In the meantime I’m gonna pack up my office and look for places for us to live when we start our new life.
BRIANNA:  We will need one of those won’t we?
MATT:  But I thought you wanted to live out of a tent in the woods.
BRIANNA:  As long as I have you, I’d live anywhere.  See ya later.
 
BRIANNA ENDS HER CALL AS DOES MATT.  SHE TURNS AROUND AND SMILES AS MAGGIE PRETENDS TO BE SLEEPING.
 
Maggie Winthrop

CONCLUSION
 
Elizabeth Hutchins


AT THE CORYS CARRIAGE HOUSE, ELIZABETH IS IN THE LIVING ROOM WHEN GREGORY WALKS IN.
 
GREGORY:  Hey.
ELIZABETH:  Hey you.
 
THEY HUG.
 
GREGORY:  I’m so glad you met up with me.
ELIZABETH:  Of course it’s no problem.  What’s going on?
GREGORY:  I hate to ask you this but I have nobody else to turn to.
ELIZABETH:  Just tell me what it is.
GREGORY:  I need a huge favor from you.
 
 ------------------------------------------

BRIANNA:  You know you’re not even worth it.  By the time you tell the cops anything, Matt and I will be long gone with new lives.  There’s nothing, you, Rachel, John, Sharlene, anyone can do about it.  You almost got in the way, but you didn’t.  None of you will.  After I say goodbye to my mother, I’m leaving.  Don’t worry, WE will never be back.
 
BRIANNA WALKS OUT OF THE ROOM AND MAGGIE OPENS HER EYES.
 
MAGGIE:  Oh no bitch.  You’re not going anywhere with Matt.
 
 
BRIANNA WALKS OUT OF MAGGIE’S ROOM, AND SHARLENE EMERGES FROM AROUND THE CORNER.
