Mistress America Page #2
(has an idea)
You should call Brooke. She’s in
New York, you know.
TRACY:
I’m so bad at calling people Idon’t know.
MOM:
I hear she’s fun.
7.
TRACY:
She’s like thirty living in New
York with a life, she doesn’t need
to hear from an eighteen year old
she’s tenuously connected to. I’d
be like why do I want to hang out
with you?
MOM:
She’s going to be your sister, that
doesn’t sound tenuous to me. And
you have plenty to talk about -
you’re both doing readings at our
wedding.
TRACY:
Aces.
MOM:
You aren’t sarcastic don’t pretend
to be.
TRACY:
Okay.
INT. CLASSROOM. DAY
We hear a student, Nicolette, making a point:
NICOLETTE:
Nothing is higher than the law.
That’s the whole point - Antigone
thinks she’s above the law but
she’s not - like a celebrity in a
car crash or something.
Tracy is asleep at the seminar table. Her head hangs heavilyto one side.
VOICE:
Psst. Hey.
Tracy’s head jerks up and she opens her sleepy eyes. A boy,
Tony leans over from two chairs away.
TONY:
You were asleep.
TRACY:
(wiping drool from her
chin)
Oh...thanks.
8.
Tracy sits up straighter. She tries to focus on the
discussion. Her eyes fall heavy and shut. She’s asleepagain.
INT. HALLWAY. AFTER CLASS
Tony carries a briefcase. Tracy, deciding to make her fatebetter, walks up to him.
TRACY:
That was really nice of you...
waking me up.
TONY:
(smiling)
It takes a lot of moxie to fall
asleep in a twelve person class.
TRACY:
Thanks. I like moxie.
TONY:
I get it. It’s like I’m so
grateful to be here, but why are myparents taking out loans for me tolisten to that 18-year-old assholetalk?
Tracy laughs.
TRACY:
Loans everywhere.
TONY:
I was going go get frozen yogurt,
want to come?
TRACY:
Yes but... well, I have to getsomewhere by five.
TONY:
Where?
TRACY:
Um, it’s embarrassing.
TONY:
What is it?
TRACY:
I’m submitting a story to theMobius Literary Society. I have to
print it.

9.
TRACY (CONT'D)
They only take hard copies which isa kind of pretension I can getbehind.
TONY:
GET OUT OF TOWN SISTER! I alreadygave mine! Do you know how youfind out if you’re in it?
TRACY:
They said they’d post a list -
TONY:
No. The only people who check thelist are people who didn’t get in -
they come wake us up at night inour rooms and put pie in our faceand then bring us out into the quadand make us sing and stuff.
TRACY:
(smiling at the thought)
Yeah.
INT. SOME HALLWAY. DAY
Tracy walks down to a door with Mobius on the glass. There’s
a box outside with Submissions written underneath it. A guyin a sweater vest sitting cross legged on the ground playingjacks stares at her. She fishes into her messenger bag andputs a story in the box. She hurries away.
