ALEX:

Andra! It’s Alex and Kate!

ANDRA (O.S.)

Who is it?

ALEX:

It’s Alex! From next door! We’re

going to the drug store, I wanted

to know -

The door swings open. Andra, in her ripped and faded robe,

hair askew, looks at him.

ALEX:

We’re going to the store. Do you

need anything?

Andra walks away. In a moment she returns with a list.

ALEX:

(looking it over)

Okay. You got it.

ANDRA:

I hope you’re not going to Windsor.

They’re crooks.

ALEX:

Duane Reade.

ANDRA:

What?

ALEX:

DUANE READE.

Andra stares at him.

ANDRA:

You gained weight.

ALEX:

Pardon me?

ANDRA:

(shouting as if he was

deaf)

Excuse me for saying. You’re a very

large man.

Kate chuckles.

ALEX:

Thanks!

ANDRA:

What?

23 EXT. STREET - NIGHT 23

Alex and Kate walk. He looks at Andra’s list.

ALEX:

Look at what she needs just to take

a crap.

(beat, pleased)

Good.

KATE:

(glancing at it)

Why do all old ladies write the

same?

(beat)

I’m going to write that way.

ALEX:

She has all this hair on her chin.

Thick black ones. In her nose, too.

KATE:

She probably can’t see them.

(beat)

Why are you looking at me like

that?

ALEX:

Like what.

KATE:

(resolved)

Yes, I’m probably going to have

black hairs on my chin. I already

do, you know. What are you so

afraid of?

ALEX:

Everything gets hairy and turned

the wrong way.

KATE:

You’re gonna get hairy and turned

the wrong way. You already are.

ALEX:

At least you’re not large.

KATE:

I think she’s turning ninety one.

ALEX:

Unbelievable. Who would have

thought.

KATE:

We should have bought that

apartment downstairs. I think that

guy died last week.

ALEX:

Who?

KATE:

The guy right below us. Martin

something.

ALEX:

That a**hole?

(beat)

No, the whole two story thing would

have been too much money.

They pass a TRANSVESTITE HOMELESS PERSON sitting against a

building. She’s applying lipstick (badly). Kate stops, pulls

a buck out of her pocket and hands it to her.

TRANSVESTITE:

Thank you, Jamie.

KATE:

You’re welcome.

ALEX:

(confused)

Who’s Jamie?

24 INT. DUANE READE DRUGSTORE - NIGHT 24

Alex is putting the items for Andra in a basket. Kate is

looking at things on the shelves when she sees something that

stops her.

It’s Abby, listening to her ipod, unaware that they’re there.

She’s staring intently at the Maybelline make-up on the wall.
