Still Alice Page #2
She taps again - a picture of a toddler in a kid-friendly
lab.
ALICE:
Now, this might sound like it fallsinto the great academic traditionof knowing more and more about lessand less until we know everythingabout nothing.

But I hope to convince you that bytaking these first baby steps intothe...
The smooth, assured flow of Alice’s lecture is broken - aword isn’t forthcoming.

An appreciative murmur. Alice takes a slight detour roundthe word.
ALICE:

(hits her stride again)
...we will learn crucial
information about the interaction
between memory and computation thatis the very essence ofcommunication.
INT. BLACK CAR -- MOVING -- LOS ANGELES
Alice stares out the window - something is troubling her.
She closes her eyes as if to squeeze out a thought.

ALICE:
(under her breath)
Lexicon!
Satisfied, she looks at a WORDS WITH FRIENDS game on heriPhone. Moving three letters, she forms the word “HADJ” on atriple.
EXT. APARTMENT BUILDING - KOREATOWN - LATE AFTERNOON
The black car arrives at a two-story run-down Seventiesapartment building.
Alice exits the elevator and walks down the corridor of the
low-rent building. She passes a room where she glimpses afew young people hanging out listening to indie rock. A
little further down, she finds Lydia’s door.
The door is answered by LYDIA HOWLAND, a feisty young womanwith dark hair.
LYDIA:
Hey.
ALICE:
Hi.
LYDIA:
Hey, sorry. You just caught me by
surprise. Come on in. It’s messy
but I was in the process of
cleaning.
INT. LYDIA’S APARTMENT
ALICE:
It’s fine, honey. Don’t worry.
Alice looks around. A living room adjoins a kitchen,
separated only by a counter that is cluttered with left-oversfrom lunch. There are some pieces of eighties thrift storefurniture, some carelessly discarded men’s boots.
LYDIA:
(picking up a few things)
The boys are total slobs. The
kitchen is the main battleground,
but I’ve got them in training. So
we’ll see how that goes.
Alice glances at some photobooths on the wall - Lydia and twoyoung men goofing for the camera.
PINK PAGES 8
ALICE:
So where are they?
LYDIA:
At work. Doug’s at Starbucks.
Malcolm does some catering.
ALICE:
I guess that’s what they mean by aworking actor?
Lydia gives a tight-lipped smile. Acting is always a soretopic for them.
INT. L.A. RESTAURANT - NIGHT
The restaurant is typical Silverlake -- hipster Mexican.
