Landing Up Page #3

Would you care?

Maybe.

I'm just not in to technology.

So if I googled your name I wouldn't

find your Instagram account?

No.

But you still text?

I still text.

This is my number.

See you tomorrow.

(somber music)

(phone ringing)

Hey!

Hey, Eric! It's um, it... Mandy.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

From that bar on the

Lower East Side.

So, what's up man?

What are you doing tonight?

(phone ringing)

Hey Sean, it's um,

it's... Kayleigh.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

So listen, what's up?

What are you doing tonight?

You have plans?

(phone ringing)

(on phone) Hi, you've reached

Tom, leave a message,

and I'll get right

back to you.

(somber music)

(knocking on door)

Hey, Frank.

What's up man? I'm

really sorry...

I know it's late.

We're full.

Most people got here hours ago.

Come on, man.

(sighs)

This is for me when I'm here.

You want to stay,

you gotta share.

You got a problem with that?

Take off your shirt.

And the bra.

Eerie Music

What's your name?

Chrissie.

(Frank) Yes, yes.

Go start breakfast, fine.

Yes, I'll be up in a little bit.

Alright, I'll be there.

(sighs)

You awake?

Yeah.

Here, for your head.

Thanks.

Last night was great.

Yeah, Frank, thank

you for the bed.

You know, I know the first gig I

got you only pays minimum wage,

but if you'd like to make

a couple extra bucks

I can get you a job

a few days a week.

It pays better.

Yeah?

Yeah, that could

be great actually.

Maybe I'll save enough

to get an apartment this month.

What happened to you?

F***.

Oh, you didn't.

Where were you?

James made me keep my phone in

this cellphone dead box thingy.

Yeah, well why do you let

that freak control you?

You don't know what it's like

to be a shelter baby.

James had my back.

This one time, some a**hole stole

the only pair of shoes I had,

and James found him

and beat the sh*t out of him.

I thought he was going

to choke him to death

with his necklace he wears.

And then he taught me how to put

my shoes in the spokes of my bed

so that no one would ever

take them from me again.

I know he gave you those bruises

you think you're hiding so well.

You don't know

anything about it!

It's better than f***ing

Frank for a roof.

I didn't f*** him.

Whatever, you let him use you.

He's getting me an extra job.

I used him.

Sure.

Well, I have a date tonight.

What?

Yeah, I met a really

nice guy at the park.

You met him yesterday and you left

him to come here and f*** Frank?

No, you a**hole, he wants

to take me out on a real date.

Like flowers, and

candles, and sh*t?

Yeah.

He thought I was a regular girl

just like chillin' at the park.

He bought me tacos.

Oh, must be love!

Well, you can't show up tonight
