INT:
BEDROOM. EARLY-MORNING HOURSA DOG sleeps on a neatly made bed.
A SHELF OF BOOKS holds such classics as Dante's Inferno,
Beyond Good and Evil, The Catcher in the Rye, and The Dark
Knight Returns. A FRAMED DIPLOMA, dusty and unkempt, hangs
askew on the wall. A snapshot of a girl is stuck in the
corner, and a bra weighs one end down. A PHONE sits quietly
atop a bundle of laundry. It suddenly explodes with a
resounding ring-once, twice, three times. A CLOSET DOOR swings
open, and a half-clad figure falls out. THE PHONE rings yet
again, and a hand falls upon the receiver, yanking it off
the trash can, O.C. THE RUMPLED FIGURE lays with his back to
the camera, phone in hand.
FIGURE:
(groggily)
Hello... What?... No, I don't work
today... I'm playing hockey at two.
THE DOG yawns and shakes its head.
FIGURE (O.S.)
Why don't you call Randal?... Because
I'm fucking tired... I just closed
last night...
(deep sigh)
Jesus... What time are you going to
come in?... Twelve... Be there be
twelve?... Swear...
A PICTURE OF A GIRL leans against a trophy. The picture is
decorated with a Play-Doh beard and mustache.
FIGURE (O.S.)
Swear you'll be in by twelve and
I'll do it... Twelve... Twelve or I
walk.
THE PHONE RECEIVER slams into the cradle. THE RUMPLED FIGURE
slowly sits up and remains motionless. He musses his hair
and stands.
THE DOG stands and wags its tail. A hand pats its head. The
Rumpled Figure lays down on the bed. We now see his face. It
is the face of DANTE and this is Dante's room; this is Dante's
life. DANTE grabs the dog and wrestles it.
DANTE:
Next time, I get the bed.
He releases the dog and sits up.
DANTE:
(exhausted)
Shit.
