ONE.
NOW EMILY LAGS BEHIND - A FEW STRIDES SHORT OF "PIZZA BOY" - AND SO HE DECIDES TO STRUT, JUST FOR A SECOND. HE SLOWS HIS PACE AND WALKS LIKE A WAITER - PIZZA BOX BALANCING ON THE TIPS OF FOUR FINGERS, TOO SURE HIS TIP IS NO LESS THAN FOUR OR FIVE SIMPLE STRIDES AWAY.
EMILY LAUGHS. SHE QUICKENS HER PACE. SHE TAILS THE GUY FOR ONE, TWO SECONDS, AND THEN RELIEVES HIM OF HIS DUTY AS LEADER.
IT'S MINUS ZERO THIRTY, AND THE SECONDS CONTINUE TO COUNT DOWN LIKE THEY'RE HORSE-RACING COMMENTATORS.
THE CAMERA TRIPS . . . CLUMSY . . .

INT. SALT LAKE CITY - AIRPORT - PASSENGER RUNWAY - DAY
(CLARISSA, EMILY, BUS GUY, FLIGHT ATTENDANT)
THE CAMERA HOVERS LIKE A HELICOPTER . . . LIKE A HONEYBEE . . . AND THEN FOLLOWS CLARISSA, EMILY AND STANLEY DOWN THE PASSENGER RUNWAY TOWARD THE ENTRANCE TO THE PLANE. THEY'RE WALKING FAST. THE PLANE IS DUE TO DEPART. BUT EMILY - WELL, HER FACE IS COVERED IN CHOCOLATE BECAUSE THE RACE DIDN'T END TOO WELL.
EMILY
Clarissa - my face is covered in chocolate! First impressions matter. I'm gonna be walking onto that plane with a face covered in chocolate! Everyone's gonna see me.
CLARISSA LAUGHS.
CLARISSA
Yeah. This'll be awesome.
EMILY
Haven't you got a tissue . . . or something?
CLARISSA
Nope. Gotta use the plane restroom, girl. Why'd you get chocolate anyway? So not good for my skin [1.] [2.].
EMILY
In case you forgot, it was for Robyn.
CLARISSA
Not good for "her" skin either. Plus she'll share it . . .
CLARISSA GLANCES AT THE BOX
CLARISSA
. . . What's left. Sweet thought though. Oh girl - you should have seen you fall! Pizza guy was an excellent runner. I can't believe you thought you'd beat him. Now you look like a plane that flew too fast into an ash cloud [3.]. Ha ha. Gotta know when to slow down, girl.
EMILY
That chair appeared out of nowhere.
CLARISSA
No. It was visible. I saw it. You'll need red, green or blue light to render it invisible [4.] [5.], and it would have had to have been - like - a couple millimeters in length [4.] [5.].
EMILY TILTS HER HEAD TO ONE SIDE.
EMILY
Your friend?
CLARISSA
Oh.
CLARISSA PATS STANLEY ON THE BACK.
CLARISSA
This is Stanley. You know - the guy you were watching on the bus. Stanley, Emily. Emily, Stanley.
EMILY SMILES - HER FACE SWEET AS CHOCOLATE.
CLARISSA HANDS HER BOARDING PASS TO A FLIGHT ATTENDANT.
FLIGHT ATTENDANT
Thank you. Enjoy your flight.
EMILY HANDS HER PASS TO THE ATTENDANT.
CLARISSA
Guess it's bye bye honeybee?
FLIGHT ATTENDANT
Thank you. Have an excellent flight.
BUS GUY
Honeybee?
STANLEY HANDS HIS TICKET TO THE ATTENDANT.
CLARISSA
What we call Deseret . . . which is what we call Utah . . .
EMILY
Can we . . . be your honeybees Stanley?
EMILY GIGGLES.
CLARISSA SMILES.
CLARISSA
Bees don't have chocolate all over their face.
BUS GUY
They have black and yellow stripes though . . . and your skin is the perfect honey color.
EMILY
How sweet.
BUS GUY
I shouldn't have left the other ticket back there. I'm not sure I wanna see that girl again.
FLIGHT ATTENDANT
Thank you sir. Enjoy your flight.
THE THREE WALK TOWARD A BRIGHT WHITE LIGHT THAT IS THE PLANE ENTRANCE.
EMILY
We're the last passengers. All is sweet Stan.
EMILY TURNS AROUND.
EMILY
Bye honeybee!
CLARISSA TOUCHES STANLEY'S NOSE.
CLARISSA
Buzz buzz.
