INT – TRAVELODGE FRONT DESK - NIGHT

Wednesday, August 9, 2000.  8:14pm

LISA-ANN is alone at the desk.

JOHN hurries in.

LISA-ANN

You’re late again.

JOHN

Sorry.

LISA-ANN

I'm out of here. Sheldon's got the van; he should be back in twenty or so. 

JOHN

Alright, I've got it under control now. What are you doing tonight? 

LISA-ANN

I’m going to a 10 o’clock movie then I’m meeting Jeff at Pancake Hut.  He says he wants to talk.

JOHN

I suppose he’s still depressed about Julie?

LISA-ANN

No, about Theresa.

JOHN

Wait a second, let me get this straight; Julie left him high and dry at Rascals, ran off to screw some tool at our motel, but you think he’s still depressed about Theresa?

LISA-ANN

Yeah.

JOHN

But he hasn’t seen her in three years!

LISA-ANN

Yep.

JOHN

That’s completely weird.

LISA-ANN

That’s why he needs me.
