ACT ONE
INT. SCHOOL HALLWAYS -- MORNING
MIDUS closes his locker and swings into stride with Val, who
hops into view.
VAL
I'm a hair puller.
MIDUS
I'm a nail biter...
(pause)
Wait, that's not anything to do with
fighting.
He continues his stride.
MIDUS (CONT'D)
Why you gonna pull Neil's hair?
VAL
He hasn't returned any of my calls.
It's been days.
MIDUS
Is he a missing person.
(turns shocked, as he
sees Jackson)
He's a missing person.
JACKSON
(walking up)
Who's missing?
(idea sparks)
Let's save them for money!
VAL
What money?
JACKSON
They aren't famous?
MIDUS
It's Neil...
(no response)
Lawrence.
JACKSON
(disinterested)
Yeah, I don't like his hair cut.
Jackson continues down the hall as Val stares out confused.
She turns to Midus, who shrugs as if to say "That's Jackson."
He pulls at his eyebrow.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.
MIDUS
Wow. Seven lashes. Take that Lisa
Kudrow.
At that moment, Lisa Kudrow runs past screaming in terror.
Then, a dinosaur runs after her, roaring/screaming/giving
chase. And then a LARGER ghost dinosaur runs after HIM.
MIDUS (CONT'D)
Why do I keep coming back here.
Midus walks off, leaving Val to wonder.
INT. BATHROOM -- DAY
JACKSON walks into the room, and he seems agitated.
JACKSON
Pretty boy with his hair cut. Why
can't I get a hair cut like that.
JACKSON walks up to the mirror.
JACKSON (CONT'D)
Jackson needs a makeover.
He frames his face in the mirror, and just above his hands,
behind him in a stall, are NICOLE and NEIL, making out.
JACKSON notices this and IMMEDIATLY dives out of their vantage
point and smashes his face into a urinal, knocking it off
the wall and knocking himself out. This attracts the attention
of Nicole and Neil, who turn toward him and notice. NICOLE
bends over and checks his pulse, and then turns to Neil.
NICOLE
He knows.
INT. BATHROOM -- LATER
JACKSON is knocked out, tied to a bathroom toilet. He slowly
awakens, and then struggles to get free.
JACKSON
Did.... did you torture me?
NICOLE
No.
JACKSON
Then why am I tied up?
NEIL
There was a flailing issue.
NEIL holds up a Harry Potter book and his broken glasses.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.
NEIL (CONT'D)
I guess I'll never get to see you
grow up.
He chucks them over his shoulder into a burning trash can.
NICOLE
Didn't you borrow that from the
library?
NEIL
Don't take their side.
JACKSON
I don't have a side! You can easily
buy me with money!
(looks back)
But given my current state, I could
just as easily pledge my undying
loyalty if you could just untie me.
NEIL unties JACKSON. Jackson stands up and dusts himself
off.
JACKSON (CONT'D)
SUCKER!
Jackson runs away. He then screams. Neil turns to Nicole and
shrugs his shoulders.
NEIL
I booby trapped the hallway.
NICOLE
Is he alive?
NEIL
Depends how far he got.
JACKSON crawls into a frame, just a torso. Blood trails behind
him. He outstretches his arm.
JACKSON
I think, my legs, are still running.
INT. MATH CLASSROOM -- DAY
MIDUS and VAL sit in class, two empty seats to their sides.
MATH TEACHER
Jackson Kechs? Jackson? Is Jackson
here?
MIDUS
Uhhhh, he told me he was going to
Peru to buy a fire ant farm and play
God to a cruel and vicious world...
(MORE)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.
MIDUS (CONT'D)
but I think his hand is just stuck
in a vending machine.
MATH TEACHER
So he's here?
VAL
Should be.
MATH TEACHER
That's right he should be.
MIDUS
Because of academia?
MATH TEACHER
What? That bitch told me he could
get me a car battery! I gave him a
hundred bucks just yesterday!
INT. ARCADE -- DAY
JACKSON walks up to the counter with a fifty dollar bill and
slams it on the glass.
JACKSON
I want that Mortal Kombat machine.
ARCADE ATTENDANT
I can't sell you that for fifty bucks!
JACKSON
I wasn't trying to buy it. You were
supposed to give it to me in exchange
for this bribe.
ARCADE ATTENDANT
Listen kid, I'm stealing it come
Friday, so hands off.
JACKSON
Fine... can I get a hundred googlie
eyes then?
INT. MATH CLASSROOM -- CONTINUOUS
MIDUS
Wow, for a math teacher, you certainly
can't count how much a car battery
costs.
VAL leans over to her side into her backpack. She unzips it,
and sees the googlie eyes. She lunges back in fright and
falls out of her chair, letting out a shriek.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.
INT. BATHROOM -- CONTINUOUS
JACKSON, tied, bloody, and gagged, hears the scream, perks
his head up, and nods his head in silent laughter.
Then, NICOLE rips off JACKSON's taped gagged, and he lets
out a shriek just like Val.
INT. MATH CLASSROOM -- CONTINUOUS
MIDUS looks down to VAL, and then suddenly, something hits
him. A peaceful calm.
MIDUS
I'm sorry Val, I'd help you up but
I've suddenly experienced a moment
of pure tranquility.
INT. BATHROOM -- CONTINUOUS
JACKSON screams in pain.
INT. MATH CLASSROOM -- CONTINUOUS
MIDUS smiles.
MIDUS
It's like how I'm told heroin feels.
INT. BATHROOM -- CONTINUOUS
JACKSON rubs his chin and his upper lip.
JACKSON
(disgruntled)
I was trying to grow a mustache.
NEIL
Just, don't tell anyone about us,
alright Jackson? We'd like to keep
things out of the public eye.
NICOLE
Just... don't tell Midus, okay?
JACKSON
(realizing)
You know Midus likes you? Then why
are you still going out with this
douche.
NEIL
You like Midus?
(to Jackson)
I am not a douche.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7.
JACKSON
Sounds like the words of a douche to
me.
NICOLE
You've called Midus a douche!
JACKSON
I've known him for five years. I've
called Midus basically every insult
there is in the English Language.
Including about 18 original ones
such as gay-tard, nigs, Homo
sucksian...
NICOLE
(interrupting)
We get it.
Neil crosses his arms.
NEIL
(sad)
I'm not a douche...
JACKSON
That's just douche speak.
Just then, the ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL wanders in, and he does a
double take.
ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL STEKEN MUD
Are... you kids having a three way.
JACKSON
OH THANK GOD! Listen, that guy thinks
he's Hitler and I'm Jewish.
The Assistant Principal stares dumbfounded.
JACKSON (CONT'D)
Oh don't worry, I'm not Jewish.
INT. PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE -- MOMENTS LATER
The ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL STEKEN MUD paces, obviously angered
and screaming at the three seated individuals.
ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL STEKEN MUD
Of all the reprehensible things! You
weren't thinking, were you? I don't
even have to ask that. This is
unforgivable.
(turning)
Feel free to go Godzilla. We'll bill
you for the gym later.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8.
GODZILLA stands up, destroying the roof and sending a bunch
of children from rooms above to fall through the cracks.
Godzilla then walks right out through the nearest wall, before
reaching back for a split moment to grab a rather large
detective hat he had rested onto a tree outside. He then
walks off into the sunset, destroying buildings and the like.
LINK (O.S.)
(flying away)
OH GOD! Why do they always get my
spleen!
JACKSON
Listen, in my defense, I wasn't
thinking, but I was cut in freaking
half. Luckily for me Nicole is skilled
with her hands. You should probably
do something like that for a career.
Like, be a surgeon or a hand job
girl at the corner or something. Me?
I'd play video games. Or with various
breasts like they were a keyboard.
I'd record things too. Let me say
the music might suck, but whoo boy
those music video's are gonna climb
up TRL. That is, unless they TAKE
AMERICA AWAY FROM TRL.
ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL STEKEN MUD
How do you shut him up?
NICOLE
I know he's scared of puppets.
NEIL
Why should TRL get America when we
can't get America?
JACKSON
Listen hippie, I'll snatch your balls
off and put them on ebay.
NICOLE
(angered)
Can you please tell Jackson he can't
sell anything he wants on Ebay?
ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL STEKEN MUD
Get the Mysterious One in here.
NEIL
You can't sell anything on ebay
Jackson. There are rules.
JACKSON
I say I'm from Taiwan. It's all good.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9.
That's when the Mysterious One enters the room, and stares
at Jackson.
ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL STEKEN MUD
Why aren't you scared of him!
JACKSON
Dude, I'm not scared of guys dressed
in douche costumes.
MYSTERIOUS ONE
... Can I go back to class now?
END OF ACT ONE
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10.
ACT TWO
INT. HISTORY CLASSROOM -- AFTERNOON
Ms. Aris sits in the front of the classroom yammering on.
At least, that's what it seems to Midus, as he doodles on
his notebook, which has written down two lines. One of those
lines is "History is written by the victors." The other is
"Lincoln, not aliens, freed the slaves." VAL leans into frame.
VAL
You busy?
MIDUS
Extremely.
VAL
I'm not.
MIDUS
Don't block an artist's light.
VAL
So you're an artist now?
MIDUS
In some circles.
Midus holds up a circle.
VAL
Three guesses who's in the principal's
office.
MIDUS
I'm gonna make an educated guess and
say it's the uneducated Jackson.
VAL
Close.
(pause)
It's Nicole.
MIDUS
... How is THAT close?
VAL
Well, Jackson's the victim.
MIDUS takes this in, confusedly.
MIDUS
I hate when it's opposite day.
VAL
It's not opposite day.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11.
MIDUS
(scoffs)
That's exactly the thing you'd say
if it was opposite day.
Midus smiles at his quirp. Val's expression doesn't change.
MIDUS continues to doodle.
MIDUS (CONT'D)
What's wrong.
VAL
Nicole's in there with Neil. They
were busted... together.
MIDUS
And I care... why?
VAL
Because he got in trouble with Nicole.
They're getting in TROUBLE together!
MIDUS
Listen underpants gnome, you're
missing a step. It's tap shuffle
tap kick punch.
VAL
I'm serious! Maybe they're a
couple...
MIDUS
And why do you care so much?
Midus finally stops doodling, and drops his pen. He turns
to Val.
MIDUS (CONT'D)
... you... You HARLET!
MIDUS looks around at the room he just yelled in. Midus
looks form side to side.
MIDUS (CONT'D)
Sorry, I've got an audition, for
Hamlet. Shakesphere's history, right?
Midus sits down, and immediately turns back to Val.
MIDUS (CONT'D)
So, does Neil make your loins quiver?
VAL
I knew I shouldn't have said anything.
MIDUS
Does he make you wet like a rainstorm?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12.
VAL
... I don't know what that means.
MIDUS
Me either. Sounded good though.
INT. DETENTION ROOM -- AFTERNOON
Mr. Andrews stands at the front of the classroom, pacing
back and forth. The clock on the wall says 11:00.
LAURA
Hey, it's not afterschool, or your
clock's broke, so does that mean we
can go?
MR. ANDREWS
You all have apparently broken so
many school laws that you can not
reenter society.
(pause)
Welcome to the magical world of
detention!
LAURA
(sighs)
He says that everyday.
MR. ANDREWS
(to Mr. Grinch)
There will be no music, no ipods, no
cursing or swearing. No dancing, no
eating, no talking or pairing!
NEIL
(raising hand)
Can we talk to you?
MR. ANDREWS
Do you all know sign language?
All of the kids look around dumbfounded.
MR. ANDREWS (CONT'D)
Then I'll have to wave the no talking
policy. So, what did you do this
weekend?
Laura leans over to Nicole.
LAURA
(whispers)
What the hell is going on?
NICOLE
We're in detention. God, are you
that baked?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
13.
LAURA
(coyly)
Is that what they call it?
INT. LUNCHROOM -- AFTERNOON
MIDUS and VAL are sitting together in a little corner of the
lunchroom. MIDUS looks down, playing and lightly eating at
his school food.
MIDUS
Wanna see my doodle?
VAL
Midus, please.
MIDUS holds it up, and it's a bunch of squiggly lines.
MIDUS
It's called, "Me choking Jackson."
VAL
(changing conversation)
Why don't you care that Nicole's off
the market?
MIDUS
Hey, she never offered a rebate.
VAL
But...
MIDUS
She was never on the market. Alright?
At least not to me. Anything else
is a crazy conspiracy theory. Like
911 was done by Bush and not just
caused by his stupidity. Or that
France is gonna stop terrorism for
us. You may very be a whack job.
VAL
If it's true?
MIDUS
If it's true... I'll move on. Guy
who moves on.
(pause)
Then again, this is high school.
Forever here is synomous with five
days. And monogomy? Like we can
control our genitalia.
VAL
That's what my dad says when he gives
me money to go to the movies.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
14.
MIDUS
Are our parents related?
VAL
That would sure stop us from hooking
up.
MIDUS
Hey, don't teach chickens to count
before they hatch.
VAL
Chickens can't count.
MIDUS
I know. I was making fun of Jackson.
INT. SCHOOL HALLWAYS -- FLASHBACK
JACKSON is in a rage, and points to the camera as he speaks.
JACKSON
REVENGE is a pork chop BEST served
MICROWAVED!
JACKSON then crosses his arms.
JACKSON (CONT'D)
Pimps up, Hoes down, THAT'S RIGHT
BITCHES.
INT. LUNCHROOM -- CONTINUOUS
JACKSON walks up to the lunchtable and pulls a seat to the
edge of the table. A few security guards in the back start
yelling and pointing.
JACKSON
I heard someone say awesomeness.
Where is it? Oh yeah. That's right.
It's right in this chair.
MIDUS
Maybe you could solve a debate we're
having.
JACKSON
Is it about terrorism?
VAL
Is Neil going out with Nicole.
JACKSON stops, litterally MOVING. He had just laid his tray
down, and leaves it there for a moment with his hand still
attached. But that's when his head perks up and he moves
off.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
15.
JACKSON
Laura! HONEY!
JACKSON walks over to Laura's table and sits down next to
her. That's when Winnie the Pooh walks up.
WINNIE THE POOH
(sad)
Hey... she's not honey...
EXT. STREETS -- EVENING
MIDUS is walking around his neighborhood, smoking a cigarette.
The clouds in the sky are dusky and dark, looming over the
city.
END OF ACT TWO
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
16.
ACT THREE
INT. SCHOOL HALLWAYS -- MORNING
It's the NEXT DAY. The opening double doors swing open, and
starting at the ankles, we see the vision of a beauty queen.
And then we see that it's none other than VAL, having just
recently made herself up. A few students in the hallways do
double takes in the background as she walks by and up to her
locker.
She flicks with the dial a few times as JACKSON KECHS saunters
up behind her.
JACKSON
Eh-LO Miss Teen Americ-AHOLY shit,
it's Val.
(stops)
When did you get hot!
VAL doesn't even pay him any attention, swinging her locker
room door open and smacking JACKSON in the face. The door
swings back to reveal his face, contorted in pain.
JACKSON (CONT'D)
..Why...
JACKSON falls off screen, and MIDUS walks up to take his
place.
MIDUS
Where did this come from? Marathon
of Queer Eye?
(change track)
What'd your PARENTS say?!
VAL
Well... it was kinda disturbing...
INT. VAL'S KITCHEN -- MORNING -- FLASHBACK
VAL walks down the stairs and grabs some books from in front
of her father, who is drinking a cup of coffee and reading
his paper. Her father looks up and notices her new look.
VAL'S DAD
Honey, if you want to dress like a
whore, that's your business. But
please don't dress in such a way
that I would want to fuck you.
INT. SCHOOL HALLWAYS -- CONTINUOUS
MIDUS and VAL are dumbfounded.
MIDUS
Wow. I think that just earned the
gold medal in father weirdness.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
17.
VAL
Don't worry. Your dad still has
silver and bronze locked up.
MIDUS
Take THAT Latvia.
ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL STEKEN MUD (O.S.)
(over loudspeaker)
Would Valerie McKierson report to
the Assistant Principal's Office?
VAL
(To Midus)
To the.
He cracks up.
INT. PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE -- MOMENTS LATER
VAL is sitting uncomfortably in her chair, as the Assistant
Principal paces in front of her.
ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL STEKEN MUD
Now, young lady, I'm sure we've read
the school rules booklet.
VAL
It's the opening week curiculm for
each and every year of school.
ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL STEKEN MUD
You kids never remember. I mean,
look at you. Dressed like that. In
CLEAR violation of the text!
He holds up the rulebook.
ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL STEKEN MUD (CONT'D)
You are BREAKING the SCHOOL LAW!
VAL
Prison must be cheaply funded.
ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL STEKEN MUD
It's DETENTION, and it's where you'll
be spending the next two weeks!
VAL
But I've never gotten detention
before!
ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL STEKEN MUD
And I've never had sex yet, but
there's a FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING!
NOW GO!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
18.
VAL
You're like... fifty three!
ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL STEKEN MUD
(loses steam)
I know...
(shoulders fall)
Don't give me the 40 Year Old Virgin
for my birthday. I got fifteen last
year.
(crosses arms)
And it's not even funny.
INT. LUNCHROOM -- DAY
VAL is sitting alone, quietly chewing on her film. Doug
O'Hara steps up and sits down close beside her.
DOUG O'HARA
So... how bout them Yankees?
VAL
(not looking up)
You've asked me that already.
DOUG O'HARA
Did I?
(holds out list)
I'm circling back around.
JOHN SANDERS has noticed the situation in the background,
and walks to the other side of the table.
JOHN SANDERS
Hey! I can play guitar!
VAL
(not looking up)
That's a melon baller.
John Sanders looks at his guitar. Doug notices AMY walk by
and follows her.
JOHN SANDERS
... You sure about that?
He walks off quite confused. That's when DENKO pulls up on
a chair.
DENKO
So, it seems you relate to the movie
"She's All That," to some degree?
MIDUS walks up and sits across from VAL.
VAL
Only the original.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
19.
DENKO
Hmmm. Posh. Very posh.
He walks off.
VAL
Is he English?
MIDUS
I hope he doesn't tax us without
representation...
JACKSON walks up and sets his tray down on his table.
JACKSON
What'sup Bitches. Hey, I really
like being able to see your breasts.
Shows me you don't have a penis.
MIDUS
Bad Jackson! Bad!
VAL
Didn't Nicole beat you up?
JACKSON
(defending)
Hey! Hey!... I'm pretty sure she
HAS a penis.
MIDUS
Any notice from Neil?
VAL
Haven't seen him all day.
JACKSON
Wait... you... Neil?
(tries to persuade
her to stop)
Val...
VAL grabs JACKSON by his collar and lifts him out of the
chair.
JACKSON (CONT'D)
Woah.
VAL
We have the same middle initial
Jackson. IT'S DESTINY!
MIDUS
Val, take a step back from creepy
stalker territory.
JACKSON
I really think I should take my leave.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
20.
MIDUS
Hold up. You just sat down. And
you didn't say 'later bitches.'
What's the freakin' dealio?
(eyes widen)
YOU KNOW SOMETHING.
INT. GYM -- DAY
It's silence, as a few wrestlers are praticing on the gym
floor. That's when MIDUS and JACKSON litterally BREAK through
the nearest wall, fallen and bloody. MIDUS Pulls himself to
his feet and heads toward the wrestling room's door.
MIDUS
You're gonna tell me what you know.
The door swings open and JACKSON HURLS two small weights
toward MIDUS, who ducks and they CLATTER into the walls behind
him.
JACKSON
Don't tell me what to do jerky.
JACKSON grabs a third weight and chucks it to a recovering
Midus. MIDUS pulls out a small rod from his pants and throws
it out like a police baton, before swiping across his body
and knocking the weight back toward Jackson like a baseball.
It flies, five to ten pounds, back into JACKSON, who gets
hit square in the chest and sent tumbling backwards, through
the open door frame.
INT. WEIGHT ROOM -- CONTINUOUS
JACKSON lands with a thud as MIDUS rushes forward, leaps
onto the squat machine and dives with a thrusting pole slam.
Jackson rolls back to avoid the move and lands on his knees.
Once there, JACKSON swings and lands a quick left jab into a
vicious right hook. MIDUS FLEW off his feet, grabbing the
rowing machine as he flew to brace his fall. MIDUS' feet
touched the back wall directly behind the rowing machine,
and using physics, the rope drove him off the wall and he
flew, feet first back toward Jackson.
Jackson moved to the Side and swated MIDUS' calf to avoid
the move. MIDUS fell to his feet, as Jackson ripped off a
pole from a machine to his side. He swung, and MIDUS extended
his staff to block the blow, before JACKSON swung two more
times, successfully blocked.
MIDUS swung in retaliation, and JACKSON backed up a single
step to avoid the blow. But Midus hit a switch and his staff
extended, smacking JACKSON back and throwing him into the
nearest door.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
21.
INT. SCHOOL HALLWAYS -- CONTINUOUS
Which sent him flying into the hall, slamming his back into
the nearest locker.
MIDUS raced, leaping side to side to distract JACKSON as he
charged, and SLAMMED his pole into the locker behind Jackson,
who ducks to the side. Jackson slams his fist toward MIDUS,
who raises his pole to block it, and then springs onto the
pole and shining wizard kicks JACKSON, before backflipping
onto his feet.
And at this point? The entire school hallways had stopped
and were watching them.
MIDUS charges and leaps off the side edge of the hallway,
onto the lockers and DIVES with a staff blow.
Which Jackson dodges, and then opens a locker door and SLAMS
it into MIDUS' face.
ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL STEKEN MUD
What are you boys doing!
MIDUS stands to his feet slowly.
JACKSON
Midus started it.
MIDUS tazers Jackson with his staff's edge.
ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL STEKEN MUD
Midus!
MIDUS
(rubs neck)
I wanted to finish it.
ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL STEKEN MUD
Both of you, TO MY OFFICE, NOW!
JACKSON
Where's that? Michigan?
ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL STEKEN MUD
It's down the hall!
JACKSON
Awh. I wanted to go to Michigan.
MIDUS
It's just cold there.
JACKSON
That's what I keep hearing!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
22.
MIDUS
Is this your wanna become Iceman so
you never have to use a refridgerator
again or is this your desire to death
fight an Eskimo villiage.
JACKSON
I need extreme cold to activate them!
Jackson leaps into the air and shoots toward his legs. No
ice comes out. He falls onto his ass.
JACKSON (CONT'D)
Hmm. Think we can turn the air
conditioner to 9?
Jackson pretends to shoot out ice beams from his hands. Midus
then takes three shards and stabs him in his knuckles.
MIDUS
Now you're Wolverine.
JACKSON
My hands.... I can't move my hands.
He topples over. Steken Mud inhales to scream.
INT. DETENTION -- AFTERNOON
MIDUS and JACKSON sit, Jackson's hand heavily bandaged, his
body burned and torn asunder. Midus holds up a mirror to
Jackson, who sees his reflection and screams. Midus then
lowers it, and raises it again, and as Jackson sees himself,
he screams again. Midus repeats this four more times in
quicker successions.
LAURA is sitting in the back of the classroom, Neil and Nicole
are behind MIDUS and JACKSON, as VAL sits to the right of
Nicole.
MIDUS
It's funny cuz of the brain damage.
JACKSON
(not paying attention)
Oh yeah. Nicole's goin' out with
Neil. Midus likes her though. And
Val likes Neil... so let's just throw
that all out into the open.
NEIL is the only one who's really taken back by the news, as
NICOLE leans over to VAL and immediately starts conversing.
LAURA, in the back, is staring slightly to the side in
confusion.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
23.
MIDUS
(deep sigh) *
I really hate you Jackson... I
really... really... do.
JACKSON
Then do something about it.
MIDUS
Oh, I could. But I wouldn't do that
to Laura.
LAURA turns her head, suddenly drawn to the conversation.
JACKSON
Are you talking about the girl in
Florida?
LAURA
What girl in Florida?!
JACKSON
(deep sigh)
I really hate you Midus... I really...
really... do.
END OF ACT THREE
