AMBER:

(turns toward offscreen)

Bobby!

INT. MAGIC CASTLE - ROOM 323 - DAY

HARD KNOCKS on the door of room 323.

HALLEY:

Yeah, what?

Moonee runs over to the door and opens it to reveal BOBBY

(50’s), the motel manager -- focused, overwhelmed and

cynical. He wears a wedding ring.

He stands with Grandma Stacy/Jancey/Luci. Shy little Jancey

stands behind her livid grandmother and peers inside. Moonee

immediately SLAMS THE DOOR in his face and walks back to the

bed.

HALLEY (CONT’D)

Moonee? Who’s that?

MOONEE:

Nobody.

HALLEY:

Sh*t, Moonee. What did you two do?

SCOOTY:

Nothin’.

5.

Halley gets up off the bed. She drops her cigarette in her

Mountain Dew can. Bobby begins speaking before the door

swings all the way back open.

BOBBY:

This woman’s from next door. Says

Moonee did something to her car.

HALLEY:

You in 322?

BOBBY:

No, FutureLand.

HALLEY:

Oh.

GRANDMA STACY:

Her and her friend Scoot spit all

over my car and my kid here.

SCOOTY:

(from under the bed)

It’s Scooty, not Scoot!

Halley almost laughs.

HALLEY:

You saw them do this?

GRANDMA STACY:

I did. Their friend’s father told

me that your kids are always

pulling this sh*t.

HALLEY:

He ain’t my kid.

GRANDMA STACY:

Well, those two, whoever those are.

HALLEY:

(pointing at Moonee)

She’s mine.

GRANDMA STACY:

I don’t give a sh*t. They spit on

my car and over my Jancey here.

BOBBY:

Okay, Halley, one, sort this out.

Two, you smoke in the room again

and you’re outta here.

6.

HALLEY:

I’m not smoking.

BOBBY:

Last warning, Halley.

HALLEY:

Yeah, well, I’m not.

Grandma Stacy watches Bobby walk off.

HALLEY (CONT’D)

C’mon, get some paper towels, you

two.

EXT. MAGIC CASTLE - LAUNDRY AREA - DAY

Moonee/Scooty approach BERTHA (40’s) who is folding laundry.

BERTHA:

Hola, Scooty y Moonee.

SCOOTY:

Toalla de papel.

MOONEE:

Por Favor!

Bertha grabs a roll of paper towels and hands it to Moonee.

EXT. ROUTE 192 - DAY

The entire party (Halley/Moonee, Scooty, Grandma

Stacy/Jancey/Luci) make their way over to FutureLand Inn.

HALLEY:

These all yours?

GRANDMA STACY:

These aren’t mine. Well, they’re

mine now. My daughter made me a

grandmother when she was 15. So I’m

looking after them until she stops

acting like her stupid father.

Halley offers Grandma Stacy a smoke. She accepts. Jancey is

quiet and stays close to her mother.

GRANDMA STACY (CONT’D)

(pointing to Jancey)

She was on methadone for the first

four weeks of her life.

(MORE)

7.

(pointing to Luci)

Thank God, she had these two when

she was locked up.

HALLEY:

When’d ya move in, Gramma?
