The Weather Girl - pages 71-74

INT. LEONARD'S APARTMENT - BEDROOM - DAY

The skies outside are cloudy at dawn. Carrie lies on
Leonard's bed.

Carrie stirs and opens her eyes.

Carrie looks about with a confused expression.

Carrie smiles a little.

Carrie, wearing the same bathrobe, gets up out of bed.

Carrie looks at the bathroom door. Carrie's clothes are hung
up on hangers attached to the bathroom door.



INT. LEONARD'S APARTMENT - DAY

Carrie pokes her head out of the bedroom. Leonard lays on
the couch.

There is the sound of snoring.

Carrie leans against the door frame.

A clock reads 6:00.

Outside, the clouds thin out, revealing patches of blue sky.



INT. LEONARD'S APARTMENT - DAY

Leonard lays on the couch as before. The clock reads 7:00.

A ray of sunlight hits Leonard on the face.

Leonard stirs and squints his eyes.

Leonard sits up and looks around.

LEONARD
Carrie?

Leonard sees a paper on a table.

Leonard stands and walks to the table.

Leonard reads the paper.

CARRIE (V.O.)
Hey, Leonard. Thanks for
everything. I didn't want to wake
you, but I really appreciate
everything you did. I'll talk to
you soon. Carrie.

Leonard smiles.

CARRIE (V.O.)
P.S. I stole some of your clothes.
Mine are still soaked.



EXT. CITY STREETS - DAY

Carrie, wearing a sweats that are way too big for her, walks
through the streets. People dressed in suits walk around
her. It is currently sunny, with a few clouds in the sky.

Carrie looks up at the sky and smiles.

The clouds in the sky disappear.

Carrie walks through a crowd of suits. The suits focus on
newspapers or other papers and ignore Carrie.

Carrie smiles from ear to ear and walks down the street.



INT. LEONARD'S APARTMENT - DAY

Leonard, now dressed business casual, checks the hangers that
hold Carrie's clothes.

There is the sound of Leonard's cellphone.

Leonard looks at his phone. It reads, you have one text
message.

Leonard pushes a button. The cellphone reads, "Get here
quick, Barker."

Leonard dashes out of the room.



INT. BARKER'S OFFICE - DAY

Leonard sits across the desk from Barker.

BARKER
What were you thinking?

LEONARD
Nothing happened, sir. She slept
on the bed, I slept on the couch.
It was completely innocent.

BARKER
Completely innocent? Then how do
you explain this.

Barker throws a report at Leonard.

Leonard opens the report.

Leonard looks at Barker with a look of bewilderment.

LEONARD
But... but...



INT. TAYLOR AND HUDSON - DAY

Carrie, dressed in Leonard's sweats, sits at her cubicle.
Carrie types on her keyboard.

The monitor shows, "I, Carrie Atherton, hereby submit my two
weeks notice for my resignation."

The printer next to Carrie's computer starts printing a page.

Carrie pulls the paper out of the printer. Carrie reads the
paper and smiles.

Carrie signs the paper.

Carrie, holding the paper, stands and exits her cubicle.

Taylor walks toward Carrie.

Taylor gives Carrie a mocking stare and gesture.

TAYLOR
Look at you.

Carrie hands the paper to Taylor.

CARRIE
Here. I'm taking the day off.

Taylor looks at the paper as Carrie walks away from him.

TAYLOR
Wait, hold on.

Carrie continues walking away from Taylor.

Doug enters and gives Carrie an arrogant look.

DOUG
Hey, Carrie.

CARRIE
No, I don't think we're talking
anymore.

Carrie looks away from Doug and walks directly past him.

The skies outside are bright and sunny.



INT. BARKER'S OFFICE - DAY

Barker and Leonard as before.

BARKER
That was pretty unexpected. How
sure are you that you had
absolutely nothing to do with this?

LEONARD
I'll, uh, find her immediately and
we'll figure this out.

Leonard stands and runs out the door.

Barker sighs.

Barker lifts his phone.

BARKER
Get ready for a plan B.
