SCENE ONE
	FADE IN
	INT. (TAYTUM'S APARTMENT-EARLY EVENING)
(Alasia is in a bedroom putting on a black dress, with her two best  friends)
				ALASIA
	" Thank's Tay, for letting me borrow the dress,"
	(Taytum smiles at Alasia. Alasia turns and looks at Bree)
				ALASIA(CONT'D)
	" Come on Bree help me zip this up,"
	(frustrated while struggling to zip the dress)
(Bree rises from her chair and places her magazine on the floor. She walks over to Alasia)

				BREE
	" Girl yo' ass to big for this dress,"
	(struggling with the zipper)
				BREE (CONT'D)
	" You goin' have to wear somethin' else,'
( releases the zipper, walks back to her chair, sits down and picks up her magazine)
(Alasia lets out a sigh and rolls her eyes. Taytum rushes to an open closet and fumbles through dresses)

				TAYTUM
	" Don't worry we'll find somethin',"
	(fumbling)
(Alasia pulls the straps of her dress off her shoulders and it drops to her feet. Taytum pulls out another black dress from the closet)
				TAYTUM
	" This one is cute,"
	(presenting the dress to Alasia)
	
				ALASIA
	" I've always liked this one strap number,"
	(grabs the dress and gives it an adoring glance)
	
				BREE
	" Oh hell naw" (yelling)
	(Alasia and Taytum look confused then turn and look at Bree)
	(Bree has her face buried in the magazine)

				ALASIA
	" What kind of mess are you readin' about now,"
	(annoyed)
	(Bree looks up from the magazine)
	
				BREE
	" This woman caught her husband cheatin' on her with a man,"
	(Alasia and Taytum looked shocked)
				BREE (CONT'D)
" they were married eleven years, and she finally caught him. She walked in her kitchen and saw him naked bendin' over,"
	(dramatic)
				ALASIA
	" What did she do,"
	(sliding the dress on)
				BREE
" Well she walked out the kitchen, got her gun, came back and killed her husband and his lover. She doin' life in prison,"
	(dramatic shaking her head)
				TAYTUM 
	" Oh wow, that's just crazy,"
	(shaking her head)
				BREE
	" Shit like that'll make you go crazy,"
	(pauses and looks at Alasia)
				BREE (CONT'D)
	" See Alasia this is the stuff you should be writin' about, it could be one of your best novels. I mean yo' other books are salin' good, but this would make you some real cash,"
				ALASIA 
	" Tabloids and lies aren't in my resume,"
				BREE
	" These stories ain't lies, this some real shit,"
	(defensive)
				BREE (CONT'D)
	" For example, 'lasia what would you do, if that was Ron bendin' over."
	(softly)
(Alasia gives Bree a sharp look, as she pulls the strap of her dress over her shoulder)
				ALASIA
	" I can't even fix my mind to think that way about Ron,"
	(Alasia rushes to a mirror)
	(Taytum walks over to Bree)
				TAYTUM
	" I would cry for days, then after that, I would go completely num,"
	(Bree stares at Alasia)
				BEE
	" Well Alasia."
	(softly)
	(Alasia fluffs her hair, then turns sharply at Bree pausing)
				ALASIA
" I would be in the same position as the woman, you just read about,"
	(walking over toward Bree)
				BREE
	" Good girl,"
	(A long pause as Alasia and Bree look at each other)
				TAYTUM
	" Bree you always tryin' put stuff in her head,"
	( Annoyed interrupting Bree and Alasia's silence)
				BREE
	" How did you meet Ron again,"
	(keeping her eyes on Alasia)
				ALASIA
	" The way you wish you could meet a man........ sober,"
	( Bree rolls her eyes)
				ALASIA (CONT'D)
	" Since your memory is so short, I'll tell you again,"
				ALASIA
				(POEM)
	He took me by surprise,
	when he passed me by,
	with his caramel toned skin,
	and dark brown eyes,
	once at first sight,
	I loved him surely,
	he took my heart ,
	and held it for me,
	he had a sweet smile,
	anyone would adore,
	the kind, I've never seen,
	on a grown man before,
	his strong manly walk,
	went with taste and good style,
	and I wanted to talk, 
	so he would stay for a while,
	and I'll never forget when he passed me by,
	with his caramel toned skin,
	and dark brown eyes,

(Bree and Alasia stare at each other for a while. Taytum walks behind Alasia and grabs her shoulders pushing her to the door.)
				TAYTUM
" Don't think about anything Bree just said. You go meet Ron at the restaurant, and I'll  pick up your pills,"
	(Alasia is facing Taytum)
				ALASIA
	"I'm glad I have one sane friend,"
	(smiling)
	(Taytum smiles as Alasia walks out the door.)
