The Anniversary Party Page #2
JOE:
Okay. I'm sorry, look, I meant to tell
you. It was the only chance I had to
meet her.
SALLY:
You invited her to our anniversary party?
I didn't even invite my mother.
JOE:
She goes on location tomorrow. Sally,
I'm sorry. Look, I can't keep her on
hold.
SALLY:
(pissed)
No, no of course not. It's Skye f***ing
Davidson, for f***'s sake.
JOE:
(regards her)
You want me to uninvite her?
SALLY:
No, no of course not. How old is she?
Twenty-f***ing-two?
She gets out of bed, starts into the bathroom. The CAMERA is
with her.
SALLY (CONT'D)
(into the bathroom mirror)
And she's a stinking f***ing actress, for
f***'s sake.
JOE:
(into the receiver)
Skye!
(his face lights)
I'm so glad you're able to make it...it's
our sixth, actually.
(flattered)
You read the book again? Well, no, the
ending to chapter six...it's just that
it's not filmic.
We tried it in an earlier draft, but, it
just wasn't filmic... Well, sure, we can
absolutely look at that again. If you're
coming from Laurel, you want to take
Sunset west, we're just past Will Rogers
State Park. Three blocks west of that,
you want to hang right. It's about three
quarters of a mile up a big white thing
on the left.
Sally's started the bath, and is watching him from the
doorway. He meets her eyes mid-sentence.
JOE (CONT'D)
Oh? I don't think tonight. I'm sure
they're well behaved. All our friends
have dogs, and they always want to bring
them. We'd be outnumbered, you see? So
we sort of put a ban on it. Sorry.
He rolls his eyes. Sally walks back into the bathroom, she
isn't buying it.
JOE (O.S.) (CONT'D)
I'm looking forward to meeting you, too.
And Skye, I'm thrilled that you're
willing to take this leap with me.
Eternally grateful, really.
SALLY:
(into the bathroom mirror)
JOE (O.S.)
I can't imagine anyone else playing
Genna.
SALLY:
(sanguine)
Really?
INT. BEDROOM - LATER
The doorbell rings. There are two closed doors on either
side of the room. The bed shows no sign of consummated sex.
Joe comes through the left hand door, nearly dressed.
JOE:
Who the f*** can be here at this time?
It's not even seven!
Sally comes through the other door, one shoe off, one on.
SALLY:
Oh Jesus, who else is always early for
Christ's sake?
NEW ANGLE:
Sally kisses his cheek on her way to the door.
SALLY (CONT'D)
Promise you'll be nice to the neighbors.
JOE:
I'll say as little as possible.
Sally exits the bedroom.
HOLD ON JOE:
For a moment, then Sally re-enters, kisses him deeply.
SALLY:
I love you.
