In Her Shoes Page #4

Synopsis: Two sisters, plus a dead mother, a remarried father, and a hostile step-mother. The sisters, each in her way, have perfected the art of losing. The elder, Rose, is an attorney, responsible, lonely, with a closet full of shoes. The younger is Maggie, beautiful, selfish, and irresponsible. Her drunken behavior gets her tossed by her step-mother from her dad's house; worse behavior gets her tossed from Rose's apartment. Then, while searching in her father's desk for money to filch, Maggie finds an address; the past and the future open up to her and, with any luck, may open to her sister as well.

Sit down, Mag. Mag.

Your car's here, Miss Feller.

Mm-hmm.

Thank you.

You can put it all in the basement.

- Yeah, hi, baby.

- Hi.

I thought I heard your voice.

What brings you here?

Because if you're not, you should go change.

We're already late.

We are within walking distance to three

- Yeah.

Grease is not a food group, Feller.

- Bon appetit.

- [ Woman On TV] Will you stay with me?

[ Chuckles Softly ]

Okay, I'm not gonna start

with your butt first, okay?

I'm gonna wait for us to get

to know each other a little better.

- All right. Here you go.

Uh, yeah, it's this impound lot

I'm taking him. We'd be glad to take you too.

- Yeah.

- If you want.

Yeah, that would be great.

Uh, you know, are we-

I mean, are we- are we in a rush?

'Cause I could stand going for a drink.

- Sure.
