THE READER IS IN A ZONE OF COMFORT - YOU
Jenny and Gabe are skating in a roller rink.
They are having a quirky conversation (about how she wants to start a nerdiest style podcast but with people that aren’t famous at all).
BUT THEY WANT SOMETHING - NEED
JENNY
To go see a movie at the New Beverly, and to go to the bathroom.
GABE
Already has plans to go to a (birthday) party.
They decide to go to the party just for a few minutes.
3. THEY ENTER AN UNFAMILIAR SITUATION - GO
They show up at the party. It’s super weird and kind of chill, but also weird.
JENNY goes to the bathroom. GABE promises to stand by the door, so they don’t get separated.
GABE gets pulled away by the birthday boy, NIXON.
JENNY comes out of the bathroom, confused.

NIXON
Ditto? Who the fuck says “Ditto”? Is she a mom in the fucking nineties?
They are stuck together. Two strangers. JENNY stands up.
JENNY
Yeah, okay. I guess I’m gonna-
FRANCES
Do you wanna go see a movie?
JENNY
Uh, what movie?
FRANCES
What’s playing at the New Beverly?
JENNY
I don’t know…
FRANCES
Let’s go see. It’s Friday, so…
JENNY
Oh, okay. Yeah.
4. THEY ADAPT TO IT - SEARCH
They run out onto the streets. FRANCES grabs JENNY’S hand and pulls her. They run. It is very romantic in a platonic way.
They arrive at the New Beverly. They look up at the sign. The Midnight Showing is ROMY AND MICHELE’S HIGH SCHOOL REUNION. They love it. FRANCES looks at the clock on her phone.
FRANCES
Oh, shit. It’s only 10:30.
JENNY
(out of breath)
Really? It felt, like, super late.
(beat)
Why-why did we run? Why did we not check the time before we…?
They stand there, looking up at the matinee.
FRANCES
What should we do in the meantime?
JENNY
Go home, take a nap, come back here-
FRANCES
Okay, this is going to sound fucking crazy, but…
JENNY
I don’t want to do anything that starts with that…
FRANCES shushes her.
FRANCES
Let’s get, like, matching tattoos.
JENNY
Yes. Loves

THEY GET WHAT THEY WANT - FIND
They stand outside the tattoo parlor.
FRANCES
Okay, first: the most popular reliever of chronic pain…
She pulls a box of cigarettes out of her back pocket.
JENNY
Cigarettes.
FRANCES puts up a finger in a “one second” kind of way. She opens up the box to reveal a collection of pre-rolled blunts.
JENNY (cont.)
You are so fucking cool.
Frances takes one out for Jenny and one out for herself. Jenny pulls a lighter out of her pocket and lights both of them. They smoke them.
6. PAY A HEAVY PRICE FOR IT - TAKE
They get their tattoos. They are super fucking high.
FRANCES
Do you want to move in with me?
JENNY
Absolutely.
They go and see the movie. It is cute.
7. THE RETURN TO THEIR FAMILIAR SITUATION - RETURN
They return to their apartment that they share now.
AURORA
So, this is the apartment that I occupied on my own, previously.
Emilia smiles. Aurora smiles.
AURORA
Do you wanna fuck?
EMILIA
I’m straight.
Emilia sighs violently. They stand together in the apartment. Awkwardly, but together.
8. HAVING CHANGE- CHANGE
They have tattoos. They live together. They have a podcast. Everything is different, but the same. Get it, Dan

Forrest finally arrives at Jenny's apartment after she wrote him a letter to come see her. It's
Does the extent of a person’s success justify the terrible means in which it is achieved? Do all people have an innate conscience that dictates what is right and what is wrong? Society has lowered their moral code thus oppressing the consciousness that is instilled in all humans. The answer to these questions can be found in John Steinbeck’s novel The Winter of Our Discontent. The moral slide of Ethan Hawley’s character is a clear representation of the moral downfall of man. The pressure put on Ethan by his family to be wealthy causes his immorality and corruption to come out. At one point Ethan argues “Strength and success-they are above morality” (Steinbeck 187) and goes on to explain that the ends justify the means which highlights the novel’s

After praying with her, the priest left. Entering the cell, Jerry said, “Marlene, you are the best wife and mother of my children that any man could ask for. You made my life complete, and I love you so. We will miss you.” When he was closer, grabbing her, he held her tightly, and whispered in her ear, “You bitch! You wanted everything, now you can pay for it. Sorry, your mother died it was the only way to get even with you. Hope Frank was worth it. All he wanted from you was sex and my money.” Kissing her, he rushed out of the cell, pretending to be weeping.

The time was 9:10 PM and I had my glass of water in my right hand. I sat in a rose-colored chair from another century, a baroque styled chair, way too ornate for an apartment manager from Phoenix. The only thing obliging me here was the letter in my pocket, which said, “Show up or she dies”.
Serena shoves Edith up against a wall and kisses her the second they are alone. Edith kisses back for a moment, and then gently moves Serena back, looks her lover in the eye, and says, “Serena, what's wrong?” “Nothing,” is her unconvincingly quick reply as she leans in for another kiss.”Bullshit,” Edith flips their positions and continues in a soft, but still serious voice, “You've been acting strange and desperate. What. Is. Wrong.”
