INT. IVI STUDENT HOUSING - ROOM 3G - 5:30 p.m. It's just after training at IVI, which means that it's an hour past midnight in San Francisco the evening before. The room that Understanding Jones and Edwin Seabeck share is dim, like it normally is, and quiet. Only one of the inhabitants are home when the phone rings at exactly 5:30 p.m. RING Hullo? finishes pulling his shirt down over his midsection Chet? It's difficult to hear, like the person on the other end of the receiver is outside on a windy day. Chet? the voice is obviously American; can’t help but feel slightly disappointed I’m sorry, I think you may have the wrong number. There is no one here by that name. Oh, is this Edwin? The wind noise gets quieter. The person on the other end of the receiver had, in fact, stepped inside a building. hesitantly, sits down on the bed Yes. curious Who is this? I'm Chet's brother- Oh. The voice suddenly sounds annoyed. Oh. Sigh. Understanding's real name is Chester. He only started using that hippy-dippy name in college. Bites his tongue for a moment, processing that interesting tidbit of information and filing it away for when Understanding is being particularly annoying Really? Leans back against the headboard and muses with a smile Well, I’m almost afraid to admit that I rather thought your parents had done that to him. California stereotypes and all. Sorry. The voice at the other end of the receiver laughs for an uncomfortable period of time. No. it says firmly. Definitely not. That's all Chet. Another laugh. All right, Edwin, please tell him that Brooks called, and that he needs to call his sister. ASAP. Suddenly, a bit more serious Is it an emergency? I can try tracking him down now... trails off, already pulling out his mobile Oh, no, don't trouble yourself. Just tell him it sounded important or he'll wait a week. I'm sure you know how he is by now. unable to stifle a chuckle, sighs Yes, yes I do; surely the universe runs on his own time. Brooks was it? I’ll pass along the message. Thank you. And good talking to you. Frankly, you must be a saint if you haven't killed him yet. Feel free to Febreze any of his clothes if you feel the need - trust me that he won't notice. Out-and-out laughs The best thing I’ve learned all day, thank you. Have a good... night? I think? Yes, it's night. And you too, have a pleasant evening. Click |
