JOEY:

(voice dripping with anger)

Bullshit, Jake. I've never missed a day.

CARL:

(with fiery determination)

Is Joey out?

JAKE:

(dangerously)

Keep pushing, and you'll be following him.

CARL:

(resolutely)

I'll talk to the union.

JOEY:

(disillusioned)

Don't waste your time. They're as rotten as the rest.

Joey storms off, his departure deliberate and heavy. Carl watches him, a mix of concern and frustration. The construction noise grows louder, drowning out the stillness left in Joey's wake.

EXT. CITY STREET - MORNING

Joey marches down the sidewalk, the morning sun casting long shadows. His fury is evident, each step a declaration of his will to fight.

He takes a moment to pause, looking up at the glaring sun. It's clear Joey's journey has only just begun, but his resolve is unyielding.

FADE OUT:

INT. JOEY'S DRIVEWAY - EVENING

A cloud of dust billows as Joey's SUV skids to a sudden stop. The sound of gravel crunching under tires is audible. The settled dust reveals the facade of a house, which usually appears comforting, but not today.

On the porch, JILL stands bathed in the soft glow of the evening sun, worry etched on her face. She locks eyes with the vehicle, anticipation evident.

The SUV's door opens forcefully, and out steps JOEY. Every inch of him exudes anger.

Jill hesitates for a beat, torn, then musters the courage to approach.

JILL:

(softly, gently)

Joey...

JOEY:

(cutting her off, bitterly)

They cast me aside, Jill. Just like that, after everything.

JILL:

(eyes filled with empathy)

I heard from the union rep. They suggested there might be a way to amend things if you could just—

JOEY:

(louder, with disbelief)

Apologize? For words I never said?!

JILL:

(voice shaky)

Joey, it's not solely about you or the principle of the matter. We have our kids' futures to think of. Sometimes, maybe... it's about compromise.

JOEY:

(passionately)

Compromise? It's always been about the truth for me, Jill. Always.

Jill steps closer, desperation in her eyes.

JILL:

Think about this. Maybe the union can find a way through this mess.

JOEY:

(bitter laughter)

Bend to them? When they can't even stand up for what's right? I can't and won't.

With determination, Joey turns, heading off.

EXT. GOVERNMENT OFFICE - NIGHT

The charged atmosphere is palpable. Joey approaches the entrance, every step filled with determination.

Suddenly, the entrance door opens, revealing HER—the woman responsible for the allegations. Arrogance evident in her stance.

JOEY:

(intense, demanding)

Tell the truth. There were no racist words exchanged between us.

HER:

(coldly, dismissively)

I don't know what you're talking about.
