The Room Page #5

Claudette:
Hello? What are these characters doing here?

Lisa:
They like to come here to do their… homework.

Claudette:
What homework?

Lisa:
Mom, this is Michelle’s boyfriend Mike. Mike, this is my mother.

Mike:
It’s a pleasure to meet you.

Claudette:
Mm.

Michelle:
Uh-huh.

Mike and Michelle exit.

Claudette:
Unh. Oh, all that shopping wore me out.

Denny enters.

Denny:
Hi Lisa.

Lisa:
Hey Denny. Denny, this is my mom. Mom, this is Denny.

Claudette:
How many people come in and out of this apartment every day? This is worse than Grand Central Station!

Denny:
I just need to borrow some sugar.

Lisa:
Help yourself, Denny.

Denny:
I also need a cup of flour and half a stick of butter.

Claudette:
Doesn’t your home have a kitchen?

Denny:
I’ll come back later.

Denny exits.

Claudette:
Tell me, what does Denny do?

Lisa:
Johnny wanted to adopt Denny. It’s really a tragedy how many kids out there don’t have parents. When Denny turned eighteen, Johnny found him a little apartment here in this building and he’s paying for it until he graduates from school. Johnny really loves Denny even though he doesn’t say it much. He’s like a father figure to him. I told you, mom, Johnny is very caring about the people in his life. And he gave Denny his own set of keys to our place.

Claudette:
Please, don’t hurt Johnny. Now if you really don’t love him, so be it, but you should tell him.

Mike enters.

Mike:
I forgot my, uh, book.

He grabs a book but somehow this leads to Claudette holding his underwear.

Claudette:
What’s this?

Everyone laughs.

Mike:
That’s nothing!

Mike takes the underwear and exits as everyone continues to laugh.

Claudette:
Homework!

Lisa:
(laughing) Don’t worry about it.

Claudette:
If I were a burglar, you would be my best friend.

Lisa:
Look, I don’t want to talk about it.

Claudette:
You know I worry about you. I have to go home.

Lisa:
Okay, mom.

Claudette:
Bye bye.

Claudette exits.

Lisa:
(sighing) Oh my god.

Cut to exterior shot of the San Francisco skyline.

Cut to the roof, where Denny is dribbling a basketball. This scene is in HD for some reason. Chris-R enters.

Chris-R:
Hey, Denny.

Denny:
Chris-R. I’ve been looking for you.

Chris-R:
Yeah, sure you have. You have my money, right?

Denny:
Yeah. It’s coming. It’ll be here in a few minutes.

Chris-R:
What do you mean it’s coming, Denny? Where’s my money?

Denny:
Okay. Just give me five minutes. Just give me five!

Chris-R:
Five minutes? You want five f***ing minutes, Denny? You know what? I haven’t got five f***ing minutes! (he pulls a gun on Denny) I’m going to ask you again, Denny. Where’s my money?

Denny:
I don’t have anything.

Chris-R:
Where’s my money, Denny? Where’s my f***ing money, Denny? What’d you do with my f***ing money?
