KATE:

Alex.

She waves him over and he sees Abby. They both watch her

choose some foundation, then put it back. She takes an eye

pencil and examines its color. That too, she puts back.

Kate and Alex stare as if watching something very separate

from themselves, and at the same time, excruciatingly close.

They’re almost in a trance.

KATE:

She’s real.

ALEX:

I know.

25 INT. MODERN AGE - DAY 25

Kate directs TWO GUYS to move furniture around the store. We

recognize some of the pieces from the apartment in the

beginning. Kate is holding the vase with the gold leaves on

it.

KATE:

Let’s put that chair by the window.

God, that’s gorgeous! I don’t even

want to sell it!

(beat)

Great. Let’s get the dining room

table and put it over there. We’ll

have to move those chairs around.

Alex comes out of the back and approaches Kate, noticing the

vase.

ALEX:

What’s that?

KATE:

Not sure.

He looks at the furniture being moved around.

ALEX:

They’re pretty nice.

KATE:

I think she kept plastic on them

for fifty years. They should be in

a museum!

ALEX:

What should we ask for the sofa?

Five thousand?

KATE:

More. Maybe seven.

(beat, excited)

I feel guilty!

ALEX:

What’s this?

There’s a gift basket by the desk, filled with bath and

beauty products.

KATE:

I got it for Andra. I thought maybe

we could have her over for dinner.

I think it’s her birthday in a

couple of days.

ALEX:

You’re joking.

KATE:

No. And invite her miserable

granddaughter. s.

ALEX:

Sounds fun.

KATE:

I don’t like having bad vibes right

next door. You know?

ALEX:

Hey. I heard the guy below us had

some nice stuff.

Kate turns to him, excited.

26 INT. DEAD GUY’S APARTMENT - CONTINUOUS 26

A gloomy place filled with newspapers and medicine bottles

and AMAZING VINTAGE FURNITURE. The dead guy’s daughter, ERIN,

50, shows Alex and Kate around.

ALEX:

I hope you don’t mind the super

gave us your number.

ERIN:

I don’t know if you’re gonna want

any of our things, though.

ALEX:

I’m sorry about your father.

ERIN:

He was really sick. He was old.

KATE:

(looking around)

I think there are some pieces we

could use.

ERIN:

Yeah? Huh. It’s so old fashioned, I

didn’t think anybody wanted this

stuff anymore. This was my dad. I

guess you knew him.

She points to an old BLACK AND WHITE PHOTO of a handsome

young man standing in front of his car.

KATE:

He was such a nice man.

(beat)

So, what’s going to happen to the

apartment?

ERIN:

Oh. The neighbors -

(she points to the wall)

They bought it. They’re gonna make

a bigger place, I guess. They’re

probably celebrating over there.

KATE:

Oh, no.

(beat)

What did they pay?

ALEX:

Kate.

KATE:

I’m sorry. That was really rude!

Awkward smiles.
