A tradition. Some of my Dad’s old social club. Some old patients.
Some just friends……
MISSY
Drinks, good food, good people……
CHRIS
Sounds fun.
Georgina has been pouring Chris’ drink too long and his glass has overflown.
MISSY
Georgina!
Georgina snaps out of her daze. She realizes what she’s done and starts to clean.
MISSY (CONT’D)
It’s fine George, I’ll get it.
Maybe you need a nap.
Georgina nods, smiles and walks away. Chris and Rose look at Dean. That was odd. Dean shrugs.
A CAR HORN HONKS in front of the house.
DEAN
Jeremy’s home.
JEREMY, 29, rounds the house with open arms.
He’s “Rich kid intense”; handsome and strong with an unpredictable wildness behind his eyes.
JEREMY
Who answers the door around here?!
INT. ARMITAGE DINING ROOM - LATER/NIGHT
Everyone laughs.
Dean pours the remainder of a bottle of wine into Chris’ glass. Their meal is done and they are tipsy. Jeremy pops the cork on a new bottle of wine as he energetically holds court.
JEREMY
One more…… So, let me set the scene. I’m a junior; Ro’s a freshman and she has a crush on
this guy Connor--
ROSE
--No. Mom.
MISSY
Jeremy……
CHRIS
No, no…… These are good. I wanna hear this.
DEAN
Manners, Rose. Give the guest what he wants.
JEREMY
Yeah, Rose.
ROSE
I hate you.
JEREMY
Connor Garfield was on my lacrosse team. Huge guy, like 6’3”, and crazy, just like “Looney Tunes,”
right? We had thrown a party--
ROSE
You did.
JEREMY
I think my parents were in Greece or something. We had gotten into their liquor cabinet and we’re all shit-faced.
MISSY
No you weren’t. Were you?
JEREMY
We put water in the bottles so you wouldn’t know. Let me finish.
Okay, so I’m upstairs in my parents’ bathroom hooking up with Jenny Richardson. Hottest girl in our class.
MISSY
Uch.
ROSE
You realize you’re coming off like a total douche right now, right?
JEREMY
Thanks. All of a sudden Connor starts banging on the bathroom door, right? I open it, and he’s got blood gushing out of his mouth and he’s screaming “Your thith-ter bit my fuckin’ thongue off!!!!”
CHRIS
Whoa, what?
JEREMY
Sure enough, there is a centimeter of tongue meat missing right here.
Jeremy demonstrates and Chris winces.
CHRIS
(To Rose)
Ahhhh! You bit him?
ROSE
He cornered me and shoved his tongue in my mouth, so yeah.
CHRIS
Damn. That’s badass, Bae.
MISSY
I’m going to see how dessert is coming along. (to Dean) Maybe we can change the conversation to something a little lighter.
ROSE
Yeah, great story. Thanks for making it totally uncomfortable.
Missy walks out of the dining room into the kitchen. The door swings open and Chris gets another glimpse of Georgina who stands with a kitchen knife and wears an intense and wicked
little smile. The door swings shut.
DEAN
Okay, new subject. Chris, Yanks or Mets?
CHRIS
Ah, Orioles. My mom was from Baltimore so--
Some just friends……
