GRANDMA STACY:

Today.

HALLEY:

Whatta they charging you a week?

GRANDMA STACY:

$255.

HALLEY:

You can get that sh*t down to $240.

Maybe even less knowing that

shithead who works the front desk

over there.

EXT./INT. FUTURELAND INN - DAY

Grandma Stacy smokes a cigarette as she and Halley watch

Moonee and Scooty wash the spit-covered car.

HALLEY:

Got another one of those?

Grandma Stacy rolls her eyes as she gives Halley a cigarette.

As Moonee/Scooty clean the spit off the car, they both make

small talk with Jancey who watches curiously from the shadows

near her motel room.

MOONEE:

What’s your name?

JANCEY:

Jancey.

SCOOTY:

What kind of a name is Jancey?!

MOONEE:

Hey, Jancey? I’m Moonee. And hey...

JANCEY:

Yeah?

GRANDMA STACY (CONT’D)

8.

MOONEE:

It sure would be a whole lot easier

if we had someone else to help us.

Scooty catches onto Moonee’s plan.

SCOOTY:

It sure would.

MOONEE:

What would happen if someone was

nice enough to volunteer?

SCOOTY:

They would get an award and it

would say ‘the bestest ever!’

Jancey grabs a paper towel and goes over to help them.

GRANDMA STACY:

HEY! Jancey, honey, what are you

doing?

JANCEY:

I’m cleanin’ up!

GRANDMA STACY:

No, sweetheart, that’s not your

job. It’s those two that have to

clean up!

Moonee winks at Jancey. Jancey smiles.

MOONEE:

Aren’t you glad this happened

because now it’s cleaner than it

was before!

HALLEY:

Oh let her f***in’ help.

GRANDMA STACY:

They’re having too much fun. This

is not supposed to be fun this is

supposed to be work. This is not

okay. Not okay at all.

HALLEY:

Let them have a good time, it’s

kids being kids.

GRANDMA STACY:

I think it was very disrespectful.

Not okay.

9.

MOONEE:

Hey! We should clean that inside

too, it’s a giant MESS!

Scooty cheers.

HALLEY:

You think they’re gonna get along

if they don’t socialize?

GRANDMA STACY:

Oh just like you?

HALLEY:

Yeah like me, what are you trying

to say? Look, you check them for

lice yet?

GRANDMA STACY:

Lice?

HALLEY:

Half the kids here have lice. I can

help you but you wanna be mean to

me. So fine. I know this sh*t.

The kids continue to playfully clean the old car.

EXT. MAGIC CASTLE - OUTSIDE ROOM 341 - DUSK

Halley and ten other RESIDENTS of The Magic Castle are

socializing, drinking and smoking on the balcony.

Halley is hanging with her best friend and Scooty's mom,

ASHLEY (23) on the stairs outside Room 341 where music is

blasting. Some of the rooms’ doors are open and some closed.

GLORIA (60’s) struts over.

GLORIA:

Hey! Listen up, motherfuckers. You

have one of two choices. You can
