MARY:

No, that would be much too

overpowering.

JAKE:

Yeah, overpowering. That was the

MARY:

(sensing his ploy)

Mr. Van Dorn, I've worked on the

color scheme for weeks. I think it's

just right.

JAKE:

What's that shade of blue called?

MARY:

Pavonine. It's the same tint as the

stripe in the fabric.

Jake bends down and examines the chair.

JAKE:

Are you still going with that fella

that teaches at Grand Valley?

MARY:

Sam?

JAKE:

Yeah. He's a nice guy. Don't lose

him. Maybe we could tone down this

stripe a bit. It's a little...

MARY:

(catching on)

Overpowering?

JAKE:

Yeah.

MARY:

(gives in)

Okay, Mr. Van Dorn, I think we could

knock that Pavonine blue a bit.

JAKE:

Are you sure it's all right?

MARY:

Yes. I think it'll look better.

JAKE:

Mary watches him a moment and thinks.

MARY:

Kristen went on that convention today,

didn't she?

JAKE:

(mildly surprised)

Yeah. How did you know?

CUT TO:

INT. JAKE'S BEDROOM - NIGHT

Jake lies in bed, sleeping. Blue light falls across his face.

He is dreaming.
