Pariah Page #3
The bus stops at a lonely island of curb. Alike is a dark
silhouette sprinting around the corner and into the night.
9 INT. ALIKE’S APARTMENT - NIGHT 9
Alike cracks open the front door just wide enough to slip
through. The house is dark except for the flashing microwave
clock.
8.
Alike takes off her sneakers and pads down the hallway. Her
younger sister, SHARONDA’s door cracks open as she passes.
SHARONDA:
You late.
ALIKE:
(whispering)
Be quiet.
SHARONDA:
Where you been this late?
ALIKE:
(whispering)
Movies.
SHARONDA:
Movie ended at midnight.
ALIKE:
(whispering)
Shhh. Shut up.
Alike shoves her sister and tries to close the door. Sharonda
yanks the door open wider.
SHARONDA:
(whispering)
Don’t push me.
ALIKE:
(whispering)
Go to bed.
SHARONDA:
I know what stays open past
midnight.
Sharonda puts a hand to her head and does a little dance.
ALIKE:
Shut up!
Alike eases Sharonda’s door shut. Sharonda swings the door
open wide.
SHARONDA:
Good night Lee!
Sharonda slams her door. The light clicks on underneath
Alike’s parent’s door.
9.
AUDREY (O.S.)
Lee? Lee?!
Alike rolls her eyes at her sister’s closed door and shrugs
into her room.
10 INT. ALIKE’S BEDROOM - NIGHT 10
Alike rushes to shove her stuffed backpack under the bed.
She tosses her shoes in the closet just as her mother, AUDREY
appears in the doorway.
AUDREY:
Nice to know you still live here.
Alike peels off her socks and slumps on the bed.
AUDREY (CONT’D)
What’re you doing home so late,
anyway?
ALIKE:
Lost track of time.
AUDREY:
You know what time your curfew is.
Where were you?
ALIKE:
Movies.
AUDREY:
The show ended at midnight. And
ALIKE:
I lost track of time.
Audrey gets cozy in the doorjamb. Alike turns her back on
her and slumps into pajamas.
AUDREY:
At least you were cute. Where’d you
get that shirt? ‘Princess’. I like
that.
Alike winds the princess shirt around her fist and launches
to the top of the closet.
ALIKE:
It’s old.
10.
AUDREY:
Compliments your figure. I saw
something just like it on sale,
maybe we could go shopping-
ALIKE:
Goodnight.
Audrey stiffens and pulls her robe tighter. Vinegar replaces
honey in her demeanor as the warmth drains out of her voice.
AUDREY:
I really don’t care for that young
lady you run around with anyway.
