oh, really?
CHRIS
Yeah.
Chris picks up her foot sweetly and massages it. She melts.
INT. BROOKLYN LOFT - CHRIS’ BEDROOM - DAY
Chris packs a small bag of luggage. Rose lays on the bed.
ROSE
Toothbrush…… Deodorant……
CHRIS
Check…… Check……
Chris puts a cigarette in his mouth. Rose pops up and grabs the cigarette from his mouth and breaks it. Chris tries to feign incredulousness but is amused.
CHRIS (CONT’D)
I’m not gonna have one the whole weekend.
ROSE
You quit, remember?
CHRIS
I’m nervous.
ROSE
Why? They’re going to love you.
CHRIS
Yeah? How do you know?
ROSE
Let’s see, you’re smart, sweet, handsome, creative…… You’re you.
CHRIS
Good answer.
Chris packs in silence for a moment.
CHRIS (CONT’D)
Do they know I’m black?
Rose is taken aback by the question.
ROSE
I don’t think so. Why? Should they?
CHRIS
Seems like you might give them a heads up.
ROSE
Really? Like “Mom, Dad, my black boyfriend is coming up for the weekend”?
CHRIS
You said, I’m the first black guy you’d ever dated.
ROSE
Yeah……?
CHRIS
So this is uncharted territory for them.
Rose embraces him.
ROSE
Baby, it’s fine. My dad would legit vote for Obama a third time he could. Yes, he will want to talk to you about it, and that will be embarrassing, but they’re gonna love you. I promise.
Chris nods. She kisses his neck and pulls him to the bed.
INT. BROOKLYN LOFT - LIVING ROOM - DAY
Chris turns on the TV for Sid. He and Rose stand by the front door about to leave.
CHRIS
Bye.
ROSE
See you soon.
Rose blows Sid a kiss and they leave.

Chris puts his luggage in the trunk and enters the passenger’s side of a shiny white BMW X5.
INT. BROOKLYN NIEGHBORHOOD STREET - PARKED CAR - CONTINUOUS
Rose sits in the driver’s seat. Chris gets in the passenger seat. Her car is a mess.
CHRIS
How do they even let you in a hospital?
ROSE
Shut up. I’m very sanitary at work.
She moves some fast food wrappers to the back seat.
ROSE (CONT’D)
You ready?
CHRIS
Yeah. You?
ROSE
Oh, wait.
She raises her phone and takes a selfie of the two of them.
ROSE (CONT’D)
Ready.
Chris puts his hand on her leg, and they drive off.
