Holly isn't sure how to reply.

HOLLY:

Well, I know what my daddy's going

to say.

KIT (O.S.)

What?

HOLLY:

Can I be honest?

KIT:

Sure.

HOLLY:

Well, that I shouldn't be seen with

anybody that collects garbage.

KIT (O.S.)

He'll say that?

HOLLY:

Yeah.

KIT (O.S.)

Now what's he know about garbage,

huh?

HOLLY:

Nothing.

KIT (O.S.)

There you go.

HOLLY:

Well, I mean there's nothing he wants

to know about it... I've got to run.

She waves goodbye and runs off. Kit waves back.

EXT. HOLLY'S BACK YARD

Holly walks into the back yard, where her father is working.

Half-painted signs lean against the garage.

FATHER:

Who was that?

HOLLY:

Just some boy.

He throws some paint off his brush onto the ground.

HOLLY:

Is that going to kill the grass?

He flicks his brush teasingly at her feet. She retreats to a

chair, giggling.

HOLLY:

You got some on my feet.

FATHER:

What'd he want?

HOLLY:

Just wanted to know if we needed any

yardwork done... I said no, and for

him not to bother us.

INT. EMPLOYMENT AGENCY

Kit is talking with a CLERK inside an employment agency.

CLERK (O.S.)

You ever held another job before?

KIT:

I used to throw trash for the City.
