Happythankyoumoreplease Page #2

Synopsis: Six New Yorkers juggle love, friendship, and the keenly challenging specter of adulthood. Sam Wexler is a struggling writer who's having a particularly bad day. When a young boy gets separated from his family on the subway, Sam makes the questionable decision to bring the child back to his apartment and thus begins a rewarding, yet complicated, friendship. Sam's life revolves around his friends-Annie, whose self-image keeps her from commitment; Charlie and Mary Catherine, a couple whose possible move to Los Angeles tests their relationship; and Mississippi, a cabaret singer who catches Sam's eye.

You hungry?

Let's get a little snack.

Then we'll get you back home.

#Hobos and tacos

#Palm trees, exposed knees,

I punched Mickey Rourke #

#But I miss New York. #

(car horn honks)

F***!

Don't swear.

Let's go.

(muffled music playing)

Look at the time.

Oh, early meaning late.

- I am so sorry.

- I forgive you. Get in here.

Wait, this is Rasheen.

Oh. Okay.

- Hi, Rasheen. I'm Annie.

- Hi.

You'll explain later?

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

Oh, how was the meeting?

Okay, we'll talk.

Go get drunk.

None for the kid.

- Man:
Hey, Sam.

- Hey, what's up?

- Hey.

- Hi.

- Can I have a cookie?

You can have, like, 10 cookies.

Go crazy.

- Hey.

- Hi.

- Come on. Child.

Rasheen, this is my cousin

Mary Catherine.

We're not really cousins.

Parents... best friends.

Look, he's riveted.

What's going on?

I'm just... you know,

I'm looking after him for a while.

And you thought,

"I know what kids love...

alopecia awareness parties."

Kind of.

How are you?

- Horrible.

- Nice. Where's Charlie?

He's in LA.

He's back tomorrow.

- I like that Charlie.

- So do I. I'm a mess without him.

This is fishy. Why do you have

a small child with you, Sam?

We're going to mingle.

It was great to see you.

I'm calling you tomorrow.

Annie:
Okay, I promise

this won't take long.
