Enough Said
EXT. HOLLYWOOD APARTMENT BUILDING - DAY
Eva, 45 and attractive, gets out of her old Prius, takes out
a large massage table and proceeds to carry it to the
apartment building. She’s wearing sweatpants and sneakers,
ready for work.
INT. HOLLYWOOD APARTMENT - DAY
A middle aged man, MARTIN, is enjoying his massage. Face up,
gaping mouth and utterly relaxed, Eva works on his neck and
shoulders from behind him.
MARTIN:
Oh, yeah, right there, my neck. Perfect.
EVA:
Take a deep breath and hold it a minute.
(he does)
Now, exhale.
He lets out a long exhale and Eva almost falls over from his
BAD BREATH. She has to back up.
EVA (CONT’D)
Good...
MARTIN:
Should I do it again?
EVA:
No, no. One is good.
INT. BRENTWOOD HOUSE/BEDROOM - DAY
Eva gives a massage to CYNTHIA, 35, who lies face down.
Despite the soothing music, Cynthia talks loudly and
constantly.
CYNTHIA:
She brought cupcakes, I brought cake
pops, and she goes “they’re the same
thing” but they’re not the same thing
because a cupcake is a cupcake, a cake
pop is a cake with a stick in it. Anyway,
the real issue is her daughter because
she’s not very smart whereas my daughter
Anna...
Cynthia rolls over, continuing to talk. When she’s on her
back Eva closes Cynthia’s eyes.
EXT. YOUNG MAN’S HOUSE - ANOTHER DAY
Eva lugs her large massage table up the stairs to an
apartment. It’s heavy and clumsy. The front door (at the top
of the stairs) opens up and HAL, 30, greets her.
HAL:
Hey Eva. Come on up!
He smiles and watches her struggle up the stairs, not
helping.
EXT. EVA’S HOUSE - NIGHT
A cute, well kept bungalow type place.
INT. EVA’S HOUSE/BEDROOM - NIGHT
Eva is at her mirror putting on lipstick. Her daughter ELLEN,
18 and cute, comes in returning a necklace to the dresser.
ELLEN:
Hey mom. Where are you going?
EVA:
To a party with Sarah and Will so they
don’t have to be alone.
(beat)
You want to come?
ELLEN:
Why?
EVA:
Because you’re leaving soon and we should
hang out.
ELLEN:
I’m good.
She heads back into her own room.
ENOUGH SAID 2
Will (42) drives. His wife Sarah (40) sits beside him putting
on some makeup. Eva listens from the backseat as they explain
something to her.
WILL:
We can never find anything.
SARAH:
She puts things in the weirdest places.
Like, if I leave my bracelets on the
kitchen counter she’ll put them in a
drawer in the kitchen.
(to Will)
Why can’t you just do it?
WILL:
I always do it. I fired the gardener.
It’s not fair.
SARAH:
(to Eva)
We want to fire her but he won’t do it.
(to Will)
It’s not hard for you. Why does it have
to be fair?
WILL:
You should do it because it’s hard for
you.
SARAH:
Oh, please.
WILL:
Come on Sarah, grow up. You can fire a
maid.
SARAH:
Is that the definition of maturity? Being
able to fire your friggin’ maid?
EVA:
(leaning forward, showing
her lipstick)
Sarah, does this color look good on me?
SARAH:
You look good. Pretty.
WILL:
That’s nice. Nice look.
ENOUGH SAID 3
Will, Sarah and Eva scan the large party and the beautiful
back yard.
EVA:
WILL:
Well, he’s a big book agent and she’s an
interior designer. They know everyone.
SARAH:
Maybe there’s single men here. Oh sh*t, I
see a patient.
EVA:
What are you going to do?
SARAH:
I don’t know. Ignore her until I can’t.
EVA:
Show me. Introduce me!
SARAH:
No way.
EVA:
You’re a wet blanket. Oh, I see someone
from my gym.
Eva wanders off to say Hi to the gym woman, HILARY. She’s
standing with another very attractive and stylish woman,
MARIANNE. Both are mid 40’s.
HILARY:
Eva - hi. This is Marianne. This is Eva.
Eva’s a fabulous masseuse.
MARIANNE:
Oh! Nice to meet you.
HILARY:
Oh, will you guys excuse me for a sec?
I’ve got to find a bathroom.
She walks off leaving Marianne and Eva alone.
EVA:
That was abrupt.
ENOUGH SAID 4
EVA (CONT’D)
Wow, I love what you’re wearing. Your
dress, and your shoes and your purse.
MARIANNE:
Oh, thanks. Gee, I should bring you
everywhere. I love your outfit. So,
you’re a masseuse. And you’re good?
EVA:
I am.
EVA (CONT’D)
What is it that you do?
MARIANNE:
I’m a poet.
EVA:
And I’m a dreamer.
MARIANNE:
No. Really.
EVA:
Oh. You - you’re really a poet?
MARIANNE:
I am.
EVA:
And you make a living?
MARIANNE:
I do!
EVA:
You’re a poet. Now I know it.
MARIANNE:
Good one.
EVA:
Feel free to steal it!
ANGLE ON:
Will standing alone, drinking. Eva walks up.
EVA (CONT’D)
I think I just got a new client.
ENOUGH SAID 5
WILL:
Where?
Eva points. They see Marianne being fawned over by a COUPLE
OF GUESTS.
WILL (CONT’D)
She looks clean.
EVA:
She’s really nice. And funny. Great
taste.
WILL:
And extremely attractive.
EVA:
You think every woman at this party is
attractive.
WILL:
Pretty much.
Eva looks around.
EVA:
There is not one man here that I’m
attracted to.
Just then TWO MEN approach Will. One is JASON, 50.
JASON:
Will, didn’t know you’d be here!
WILL:
Hey Jason. This is my friend Eva.
JASON:
Hi. This is Albert.
They all shake hands. ALBERT is 45 and has a bit of a belly.
EVA:
Nice party, huh? Lots of white balls
hanging down.
WILL:
Eva was just telling me that there’s not
one man at this party that she’s
attracted to.
ENOUGH SAID 6
EVA:
Okay! I don’t know why you would make
that announcement?
ALBERT:
Is that unusual?
EVA:
No, not unusual at all. And no offense.
ALBERT:
(joking)
That’s okay, I’m not attracted to anyone
here, either.
EVA:
Okay. Good. Yeah, it’s kind of an ugly
crowd.
WILL:
(making conversation)
Jason, you’ve got a kid in college now,
right?
JASON:
Two.
ALBERT:
I’ve got one leaving in the fall.
EVA:
So do I.
ALBERT:
It’s all I have.
EVA:
Me too!
JASON:
Oh come on, you guys. You want your kids
to go away! It’s healthy!
EVA:
Shut up.
ALBERT:
Yeah, shut up.
Albert looks at Eva, clearly charmed.
