INT. DOUG'S APARTMENT - DAY
The television shows on team kicking off for the super bowl.
ANNOUNCER (V.O.)
(muffled)
And the game has begun!
INT. ASHTON ARMS - DAY
Leonard runs down a hallway in an apartment building.
Leonard runs down a stairwell.
Leonard holds his cellphone to his ear.
LEONARD
Where is she.
AGENT BOB (V.O.)
(muffled)
She's almost in front of the
building.
Leonard looks from side to side.
Leonard focused on a window. A sign next to the window
reads, "Fire Escape."
EXT. ASHTON ARMS - DAY
Carrie walks up to the building. There is the sound of a
cell phone ringing. Behind Carrie, on the side of the
building, Leonard climbs out a window onto a fire escape.
Carrie digs in her purse.
Leonard stumbles about on the fire escape.
Carrie's eyes light up and she lifts her cell phone out of
her purse.
Carrie talks into her cellphone, turned away from the
building.
CARRIE
Hey, Sarah, how are you?
Leonard looks down at Carrie with a worried look.
Leonard climbs down the fire escape.
CARRIE
Yeah, I figured I'd go to Doug's
thing. Why not?
Leonard looks down from the bottom of the fire escape. The
ground is still ten feet below.
CARRIE
Why don't you come? It might not
be too bad.
Leonard climbs over the fire escape railing and hangs from
the bottom of the platform.
CARRIE
Yeah, I know you don't really like
Doug but...
Leonard closes his eyes and grits his teeth. Leonard
releases his grip and crashes into the ground.
CARRIE
No, nothing like that. I... we...
Ok, to tell you the truth, I think
I made a mistake.
Leonard hops up and down holding his foot.
Leonard bites down on his finger.
CARRIE
I don't know, it was nice, and
yeah, but...
Leonard takes a few deep breaths.
Leonard cleans himself off.
CARRIE
Just a bad feeling, and well, it is
Doug.
Leonard straightens his clothing.
Leonard walks towards Carrie.
CARRIE
Anyway, you sure you don't want to
come? I'll be more fun for both of
us.
Leonard walks up to Carrie.
LEONARD
Hey, Carrie.
Carrie turns to Leonard and smiles.
CARRIE
Well, that's ok. I'll talk to you
later ok? Bye!
Carrie hangs up her phone and puts it into her purse.
CARRIE
Hey, you, come to watch the game?
LEONARD
Eh, I guess so. I didn't have
anything better to do. Didn't you
have some junket to manage?
CARRIE
Cancelled.
They pause a second and look about.
LEONARD
You know, it's a long game. Want
to grab some coffee first?
CARRIE
Sure. I'll take coffee over
football anyday.
Carrie and Leonard walk away from Ashton Arms.
CARRIE
I'm more of a baseball girl,
anyway.
Leonard limps a little as he walks.
CARRIE
Did you hurt your foot?
INT. COFFEEHOUSE - DAY
Leonard and Carrie sit at a table in a trendy coffeehouse. A
television shows the Superbowl. It is currently the second
quarter.
Leonard chuckles a bit.
CARRIE
What?
LEONARD
Oh, nothing. Just that I'm not
used to talking to you when I'm
awake.
CARRIE
Oh, I thought you were going to say
that you're not used to talking to
me without your keyboard.
Carrie and Leonard both laugh.
Carrie looks up at the television.
CARRIE
Oh, it's almost halftime. We'd
better get back.
Agent Bob, sitting at a table across the room, looks up at
Leonard and Carrie.
LEONARD
Uh, ok. Let me just finish my
coffee.
CARRIE
Oh, ok. No rush.
Leonard takes a slow sip of his coffee.
