2. FADE IN:
INDOOR. LIVING ROOM. MID DAY
Jordan and Eric are in the living room playing Fifa on
the Ps4.
Eric
(with excitement)
You’re so rubbish Jordan how am I
bout to score again.
Jordan
You think you are going to score
again? I THINK NOT!
Jordan blocks Eric from scoring
Eric
(Yelling)
Ugh you’re so lucky!
Jordan
(laughing a Eric)
Maybe next time bae
Eric
(staring at Jordan
and not focusing on
the game)
Hhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmm
Jordan scores a goal
Jordan
(With excitement)
Yes! I cant believe you thought
you were going to score.
3. Eric zones out and continues to stare at Jordan.
Jordan
(confused)
Are you alright there? Eric?
Eric
(Shaking his head)
Yes, Im good. But actually after
you just called me bae that had me
thinking, I don't know how much
longer I can put-up with this. I
mean…
Jordan
(interrupting)
This?
Eric
(interrupting)
Yes, this. I want us to just live
together…
Awkward silence forms between them. Eric leans back in
his chair and rubs his hand on his head as he thinks.
Eric (Continues)
I know I still live with my
parents and they won’t want you
staying with us but ill work 2
jobs because I just want to be
with you. Do you still have
feelings for Susan? Do you even
like me? Its like you’re not even
trying to get a divorce.
Jordan
Of course I like you but Susans
going to be home soon can we just
talk about this later.
Eric looks up at him then unpauses the game and they
continue to play from where they left off before.
4. 10 minutes later Susan walks through the door
Susan
(happily)
Hey bae!
Jordan gives her no attention and continues to play the
game.
Susan:
(Puts her purse on
the table and walks
over to him)
How you been Jordan? Have you just
been playing this all day?
Jordan
(Annoyed)
What man, you know I’ve been
playing this game all day. Im on
house arrest.
Susan
(switches off the PS4
and stands in front
of Jordan)
You know what, I’m sick and tired
of this. Im your wife not your
friend! I give you everything, I
was there for you when no one else
was. I know your on house arrest
but you could at least cook a meal
for us instead of just playing
games with your friends. Im over
this. I don't know whats happened
to you.
Jordan
You’re always trying to make an
argument out of nothing. Whats
wrong with you? Im just tired of
it.
5. Susan
Hhhhmmmmm OKOK! You stay home all
day, I honestly don't know what
you’re. Tired of. All I want is
some love and affection from you
when I come home from a long day
at work. But OK I know where I
stand!
Susan storm out the house
Eric goes to sit next to Jordan to comfort him
Eric
So you don’t like Susan then?
Jordan
I love you Eric
Eric stares at Jordan and goes in to kiss him. Jordan
kisses him back.
They both lean out for a few seconds then lean back in to
his each other again but with more passion this time.
Susan walk through the door to get her purse from the
table because she forgot it but Eric and Jordan didn’t
hear her come in.
Susan
(In shock and
screaming)
OMG! I knew, I just knew it!
Jordan jumps up and moves away from Eric.
