PARTMENT.
Number's sits at his desk reading. The phone RINGS and he answers it.
NUMBERS
Number's Retrieval Services.
MR. TORRINI
(V.O.)
Good morning, Numbers. This is Mr. Torrini and I have a job for you and Simon.
NUMBERS
Hey, nice to hear from you Mr. Torrini. But I am afraid that I am a one-man show for the time being.
MR. TORRINI
Aww, that's a shame. Did Simon kick the bucket?
NUMBERS
No. He found Jesus. Well, actually, he said that Jesus found him. Honestly, I am a little overwhelmed by his sudden decision to leave, but I am very understanding of his new view on life. He has changed his image and ways for the best.
MR. TORRINI
Hmmm. Well, I have a job for you. But it requires two men to do it. Definitely not a one man gig. If you can figure something out in the next few days than the offer will be on the table for you. Contact me when you know something.
NUMBERS
Yes, sir. I think I have an idea.
Numbers hangs up the phone and smiles.
CUT TO:
INT: KIMMY'S HOUSE.
Kimmy is in the kitchen making a sandwich. Pudding sits attentively by her side.
KIMMY
That's right, mommy is making you something delicious. She knows that her poor girl was traumatized. Ooops, no crust on the bread.
Kimmy cuts the crust off the bread. A knock on the door sends Pudding into a flurry of deep BARKS.
Kimmy strolls into the living room and looks through the peephole:
INSERT: PEEPHOLE
The little kid, Kyle, stands there.
BACK TO SCENE
She opens the door.
KIMMY
Well, hi there. What can I do for you?
KYLE
This man asked me to knock on your door.
The little kid points to his left. Numbers steps into Kimmy's view. He hands the kid twenty dollars and the kid scurries away.
NUMBERS
Hey, Kimmy. Did you get my card?
She tries to slam the door but he blocks it with his foot.
NUMBERS
Kimmy, hear me out for a second and then you will never have to see me again.
She stops resisting and opens the door a little bit.
NUMBERS
Good. You interested in a part time job?
FADE OUT:
About the jerk who wrote this screenplay:
Justin Langer was born in 1980 and for the most part, was raised on comic books and science fiction while growing up in Las Vegas. He moved to sunny Florida for college just after graduating high school. He has had a variety of professions and considers his material to be influenced mostly by experiences relative to living in the state known for its unforgiving humidity and retired population. Most, if not all, of his writings will be in a screenplay format because he doesn't really consider himself a descriptive or detailed storyteller. He just wants to get the words on the page before he forgets them.
Thank you for reading this work and supporting an independent, creative thinker. Please feel free to send Justin an email with any thoughts or comments about his work at Corduroy776@yahoo.com. Additional information is below about other available works.
If you enjoyed this work, the biggest compliment you can give the author is to write a positive review or suggest this work to someone else!
