Management Page #2

Synopsis: Mike works at his parents' motel in Kingman, population 27,000, on old Route 66. Sue sells art for a Baltimore firm to corporations for office walls. He takes one look at her from behind as she registers at the motel and determines to connect. He's sweet, but hapless, with no ambition other than spending time with her. She's enigmatic - rarely smiling, occasionally impulsive, committed to helping homeless people, feeling the clock tick after a breakup with a boyfriend who could have provided security. Is there any way he stands a chance with her? What can he offer?

- Yeah.

You're really good at it.

You can't stay, Mike.

- Why not?

Cause it's insane.

I let you touch my butt and then

you fly halfway across the country.

Well it was much more than a butt touch.

Still you can't stay.

I've got a lot of work to do.

Well how much stuff can you do in one night?

- A lot.

Like what?

You got out with friends or...?

You see that girl over there?

She gives me vouchers every week.

And I pass them out.

That's what I do.

I just wanna let you know. If you want

me to leave tomorrow, I will, I promise.

Hey guys!

Whopper. Whopper. Whopper.

Okay, Chicken Tenders.

Careful.

Easy, easy, easy. Easy.

Here you go, Chicken Tender.

Ok. BK veggie burger.

Not that, Sue.

- Come on, it's supposed to be delicious.

I don't think so... - Come on guys,

it's got soya in it, it's good, it's really good.

Fine, I'll take one.

All right, hey, who wants a powerade? All right.

This is nice.

- Thanks. I've been here two years.

So I think I'm gonna, go to sleep.
