EPISODE 2: All’s Quiet on the Chlorine Front
Rated G for give a girl some space
EXT. APARTMENT COMPLEX POOL – LATE SUNDAY AFTERNOON.
Enter MOTHER and her 13-YEAR-OLD SON. (When asked if he wanted to go, her 14 YEAR OLD on his Xbox said, “I don’t know.” And that was that.)
Despite the fact that it is prime sunning hours, the pool is nearly deserted.
MOTHER notices a leathery GRANNY is in residence in the corner.
This is exactly where this woman has been every single time MOTHER has been to the pool this season. MOTHER wonders if she should be concerned. Perhaps this woman doesn’t have a home beyond the pool.
On a lounge chair a mere four feet away is a THIRTYSOMETHING WOMAN reading a book.
A MAN IN SHORT BATHING TRUNKS enters the pool area, and chooses a lounge chair in the same strip as the WOMAN.
MOTHER wonders why he has to be all up on her when there are dozens of other chairs.
Perhaps WOMAN thinks the same thing, as she quickly departs.
When she leaves, SHORT SUIT moves a chair within five feet of MOTHER.
MOTHER sighs. She is not a fan of people being too close to her.
MOTHER and SON and FATHER who has appeared in the interim decide they’ve had enough of the pool and people being too close and leave.
No drama. MOTHER didn’t want to start anything. (Sorry.)
