She Smells Like Dead People (Alice and Shane put Runner to Bed) (Part 3 of 3)
INT – BETTE & TINA’S LIVING ROOM – EVENING
[Following Runner’s jet lagged induced head dive into a plate of Thai food, Shane and Alice carry her into the living room. In the meantime, BETTE and TINA toss the wine bottles Alice scarfed down during dinner.]
ALICE
Eww. She smells like dead people.
SHANE
Hey. Not funny Al. Dr. Strangelove just fled a coup in the Congo; flew 18 hours to LA and well…
ALICE
And well what?
SHANE
I got nothin’. (pause) Yeah, she stinks.
[Shane shrugs her shoulders. They drop Runner on the couch.]
SHANE (cont.)
(She looks down at her cell phone.)
Why won’t she call me back? I don’t get this one. I gotta make a call.
[Shane walks to the bedroom.]
ALICE
Oh-kay. A little help here? Thanks Shane.
[Alice looks down at Runner. Thinking Runner is asleep; Alice starts to fold Runner’s arms.]
ALICE (cont.)
Ok. Let’s see.
[Alice looks around to see if anyone is watching. She takes Runner’s arms and folds them like a newly laid out corpse.]
ALICE (cont.)
Nope. Way too funeral homey.
[Alice unfolds Runner’s arms. She takes Runner’s hand and puts it on Runner’s breast. Then, she takes Runner’s other hand and places it on Runner’s vagina. She sits back and admires her work. Tina walks in with Angelica’s sippy cup.]
TINA
Alice!
ALICE
Can’t anyone take a joke? Geez. It’s just a boobgina pose.
[Alice picks a blanket off the coffee table and sits back on her heels to take a long look at Runner.]
ALICE (cont.)
(Whispering to herself.)
Cute.
RUNNER
And smelly.
ALICE
(Startled.)
Shit! I thought you were asleep or in a fuckin’ jet lag coma.
[Runner comes alive for a moment; stretching like a recently awakened cat. She smiles and turns over on her side.]
RUNNER
Thanks for putting me to bed, Alice Pieazecki.
ALICE
I was all for keeping you face down in a plate of Pad Se
Ewe, but hey, I was overruled.
RUNNER
(Yawning.)
Tyranny of the majority.
ALICE
Yeah. Mostly Bette.
[Alice unties Runner’s laces and takes off her shoes. Alice is almost blown over by a bowel softening odor.]
ALICE (cont.)
Oh-Kay. Oh, my earth mother! Did someone put a spell on you? Finally, something worse than getting dumped. Whew!
[Runner half chuckles and yawns. Alice stands up. She puts her arms on her hips and looks around to see if there is anything more she can do. She pulls a blanket across Runner.]
ALICE (cont.)
Ok, Dr. Strangelove, looks like my work here is complete.
[Runner doesn’t move. Alice thinks she’s fallen back asleep. Alice turns to walk away.]
RUNNER
Love is like a puzzle, Alice. When you’re in love, all the pieces fit, but when
Your heart gets broken, it takes a while to get everything back together.
ALICE
Anis Nin?
RUNNER
No. Smelly ER doctor.
FADE OUT.

Yes, confusing. The first posted piece was just a rambling dialogue. I’m going back and writing the story of their meeting and where it leads. So, these three are the beginning stories. That’s all. Thanks for your interest.
