INT. ARMITAGE LIVING ROOM - DAY
Chris slips past several small groups of guests mingling. He goes up the stairs to the second floor.
As soon as he are out of sight and earshot, the mingling guests stop in mid-conversation. Everyone in the room waits and listens to CHRIS’ FOOTSTEPS above.
It is now clear that their conversations have been fake. They are all hanging on Chris’ actions.
INT. ARMITAGE UPSTAIRS HALLWAY - DAY
Chris walks to Rose’ room.
INT. ROSE’S BEDROOM - DAY
Chris exits the bathroom in Rose’s room. The bed is made. He picks his phone up from the dresser. It’s unplugged and out of batteries. That’s odd. He plugs it in again as he hears a
CREAK down the hall.
INT. ARMITAGE UPSTAIRS HALLWAY - DAY
Chris leaves Rose’s room. A door at the end of the hallway is a crack open. Chris slowly walks down the hall, and peers inside. A couple lacrosse trophies and one for ju-jitsu.
Jeremy’s room. Movement inside. It’s Georgina making the bed. The door creaks alerting her of his presence, she turns slowly. Before she sees him he walks quickly back to Rose’s
room just as she comes upstairs.
ROSE
Hey! You okay?
Chris waves for her to join him back in her room.
INT. ROSE’S BEDROOM - DAY
Chris speaks quietly and frantically to Rose.
CHRIS
The housekeeper unplugged my phone.
Rose sighs. “Not this again.”
CHRIS (CONT’D)
I’m trying to check in with Rod, and I got no juice.
ROSE
I’m sure it was an honest mistake.
CHRIS
Yeah, or maybe not. Maybe she doesn’t like the fact that I’m with you.
ROSE
Chris……
CHRIS
What? It’s a thing.
ROSE
You think my family’s housekeeper gives a shit who you’re with? That’s crazy bae.
Chris sits on the bed and rubs his forehead.
CHRIS
Forget it. Nevermind.
ROSE
Look, I get it. This whole thing is stressful. I mean, they’re circling you like hyenas down
there. I just don’t get why you’re taking it out on George and Walter.
CHRIS
(passive aggressive)
You’re right. I’m being paranoid. I just need a minute and I’ll be down.
ROSE
Fine.
Rose leaves a little annoyed.
INT. CHRIS’ APARTMENT - DAY
Rod eats a cheeseburger and watches a true crime show on Chris’ couch with Sid the dog. His PHONE RINGS.
ROD
Hey.
INTERCUT WITH:
INT. ROSE’S ROOM - SAME TIME
Chris is alone in Rose’s room. He peers out the window.
CHRIS
Bruh. What’s up?
ROD
Not much. Sid’s chillin’. We eatin’ burgers. What’s up with you?
CHRIS
Yeah……
ROD
Uh oh. That doesn’t sound good.
CHRIS
They just got me over here meeting all the family friends. It’s like they never met a black dude that doesn’t work for them or some shit.
ROD
Oh, they got you on display?
CHRIS
Exactly. Also, I got hypnotised last night……
ROD
Nigga, what the fuck? Oh, Hell no!
CHRIS
Yeah, to quit smoking. Rose’s mom is a hypnotherapist--
ROD
--Nope. I don’t give a fuck if she’s Dr. Drew up in this bitch. You ain’t getting in my head.
CHRIS
(Seeing Rod’s point)
Right.
