INTERSTITIAL – SCENES OF L.A.

[A residential street lined with palm trees.]

INT. – TIM & JENNY’S HOUSE – DAY

[Jenny walks to the back, where Tim is sitting at a table working on some papers. Jenny has on a lot of makeup.]

Jenny: Hey. What’re you doing here?

Tim: Live here, last time I checked.

Jenny: I thought that you had practice.

Tim: Oh, Randy’s taking the practice… I’m trying to… map out a study schedule for Trish. If she doesn’t pass Physics, she can’t compete in the PAC-Tens next month, so… (looks up at Jenny) Wow. You look fantastic.

Jenny: Really?

Tim: Where are you going?

Jenny: (grabbing jacket) I’m, I’m just… going to The Planet, gonna go write. I need the change of environment. So, I’ll see you later.

Tim: You know what? That’s a great idea. I’m going to come with you. I gotta get out of the house.

[Tim gathers up his things. Jenny looks disappointed.]

EXT. – DANA’S APARTMENT – DAY

[A really nice, big, L.A.-type place in the hills.]

INT. – DANA’S APARTMENT – BEDROOM – DAY

[Lara and Dana are in bed. Dana has her head on Lara’s stomach. Lara pets Dana’s hair.]

Lara: It’s nothing to be ashamed of. It happens, Dana.

Dana: It’s never happened to me.

Lara: (smiling) It’s a perfectly natural thing. It doesn’t change the way I feel about you. Or how much pleasure you gave me.

[Dana groans and whimpers, and hides under the covers. Mr. Piddles the cat, sitting at the foot of the bed, meows.]

INT. – BETTE & TINA’S HOUSE – KITCHEN – DAY

[Tina is standing at the counter, eating a variety of things – pickles, olives, bread, and something that might be squid. Bette comes up behind her, putting her jacket on.]

Bette: Ew! What is that?

Tina: Sandwich. Want some?

Bette: Pass.

[Bette reaches over the table to pick up her briefcase, then goes to kiss Tina, who is stuffing something in her mouth.]

Bette: Bye hon – ew. That is disgusting.

[Bette takes off without the goodbye kiss.]

Tina: (mouth full) Bye babe.

Bette: Bye.

EXT. – THE PLANET – DAY

[A worker cleans up one of the patio tables. People are sitting around, enjoying the weather.]

INT. – THE PLANET – DAY

[Music plays in the background. Tim and Jenny sit at a table together. Tim is solely focused on his papers; Jenny stares at Marina, who’s behind the counter several feet away serving customers.]

[Jenny doodles on her paper, and glances back up at Marina, who’s talking to a customer. Jenny goes back to doodling, then looks up again, this time at Tim. Tim is oblivious. Jenny’s focus shifts back to Marina. Marina is now staring back at Jenny.]

[Marina turns and heads to the bathroom. Jenny watches her, hesitates, then gets up.]

Jenny: I’ll be right back.

[Tim continues to work.]
