HOLLY:

Hannah, I have to borrow some more

money.

(sipping her drink)

Don't get upset.

HANNAH:

(stirring some food

in a saucepan on the stove)

Mmm, I never get upset over that.

Mmm?

HOLLY:

This is the last time, I promise.

And I'm keeping strict accounts.

As Holly talks, sipping her drink, Hannah busily works in

the kitchen, which contains a large center table stacked

with bowls and plates of food, hanging pots and pans, and

general party clutter. She walks on-and-offscreen as she

talks and listens to her sister.

HANNAH:

Holly, please. Don't insult me.

HOLLY:

(putting her empty

glass and plate down

on the table)

Someday, I'll pay it all back.

HANNAH:

I know. H-how much do you need?

HOLLY:

Two thousand dollars.

Hannah, who'd been mashing some food in a bowl on a nearby

counter, hesitates momentarily. She turns to Holly.

HANNAH:

(trying to nod her

head casually)

Uh-huh.

HOLLY:

(gesturing, her back

to the camera)

Hannah, I know it's a lot, but my

friend April and I, we have this

catering idea I think's going to be

great.

Hannah, licking her fingers, walks past Holly.

HOLLY:

(turning to face Hannah)

You admit that we're great cooks,

right?

HANNAH:

(nodding, back at the

stove now, stirring

in a pot)

Yeah.

HOLLY:

(putting her hands in

her pockets)

Well, in order to get started,

there's just a few things I have to

buy...

(gesturing)

and some old debts I have

outstanding.

HANNAH:

(looking at her sister)

Will you just tell me one thing?

HOLLY:

(nodding)

Okay.

HANNAH:

Are we talking about cocaine again?
