Chris notices his faux pas.
CHRIS (CONT’D)
I mean……
JIM
Heh. No, you’re right. And usually not even that much. That’s people.
Jim holds a glass up. Chris fist bumps the glass.
JIM (CONT’D)
Jim Hudson.
CHRIS
Chris-
JIM
I know who you are. I’m an admirer of your work; you have a great eye……
CHRIS
Wait. Jim Hudson…… of Hudson Galleries?
Jim smiles.
JIM
The irony of being a blind art dealer isn’t lost on me.
CHRIS
How do you do it?
JIM
I have an assistant describe work to me. You’ve got something…… The images you capture…… so brutally melancholic. Powerful stuff.
CHRIS
Thank you. Yeah, I just like finding the beauty in abandoned things.
JIM
I used to dabble myself. Wilderness mostly. I submitted to Nat Geo 14 times before realizing
I didn’t have “the eye” for it; Began dealing. And then, of course, my vision went to shit.
CHRIS
Damn.
JIM
I know. Life can be a sick joke. One day you’re working in a dark room, and the next day - BAM. You wake up in the dark. Genetic disease.
CHRIS
Shit ain’t fair, man.
JIM
Yeah.
Jeremy comes over with his preppy friend, Derrick, 29.
JEREMY
Chris, we need you……
CHRIS
Yeah, sure. (to Jim) Nice to meet you.
JIM
Stop by the gallery some time. Bout time you had a solo show.
CHRIS
Really? Wow, okay. Thank you. That would be a game changer.
JIM
I think we could do wonderful things together.
EXT. BACKYARD - LATER
Chris and Rose play badminton against Jeremy and Derrick. A gaggle of party guests watch, entertained. Chris is actually having fun. He swings big but misses the shuttlecock.
JEREMY
HA! Come on. You can do better than that!
CHRIS
Not my game, what can I say.
JEREMY
Yeah, I see that.
ROSE
Shut up Jeremy.
JEREMY
I’m just saying, if your boy isn’t gonna bring his ‘A’ game, we might as well bring Mom up here.
CHRIS
Whoa, whoa, okay. Now we talkin’ smack huh?
Chris serves the shuttlecock hard. The following rally is long, captivating the crowd. Chris ends it with an impressive diving swat. Derrick misses the return and the crowd goes
wild. Chris throws his arms up in celebration.
CHRIS (CONT’D)
Boom!
ROSE
Yay, baby!
JEREMY
See, that’s what I’m talking about!!! Okay, again!
Chris is about to serve. He scans the crowd of beaming faces. Everyone is rooting for Chris. They love him. Chris scans the crowd. It’s too much.
CHRIS
Hold up. Here.
ROSE
Where are you--
CHRIS
I’m gonna go to the bathroom.
Chris gives his racket to Gordon Greene.
INT. ARMITAGE HOUSE - KITCHEN - DAY
