INT. LONE STAR KITCHEN - CUTLERY - NIGHT
(EMILY, MATT, CLARISSA, DYLAN, LANA)
MATT EMERGES FROM THE BAG ROOM, NEW HAT IN HAND. SAMANTHA SMILES.
SAMANTHA
Oh my god! You got it?
MATT HOLDS UP A NICE WHITE ADIDAS UTAH JAZZ CAP; BUT IT'S NOT THE SLOGAN NOR THE IMPLIED AFFILIATION THAT'S REALLY OF INTEREST HERE . . .
MATT
It's great. As long as I have this on I'll be able to understand sign language [1.] [2.] [3.].
SAMANTHA
That's amazing. Have you told Lana?
MATT
Haven't seen her yet.
SAMANTHA
She'll be here soon.
WE HEAR MUSIC; LILY ALLEN'S "OH MY GOD" [6.]. THEN THE INTOXICATING RHYTHM AND RHYME IS REPLACED BY FOOTSTEPS THAT MIMIC A ROUND OF APPLAUSE. CLARISSA APPROACHES THE BAG ROOM AND THE NOISE BECOMES CONFIRMATION OF CLARISSA'S RETURN TO SOLID GROUND.
CLARISSA
I looove Utah! Hi guys.
MATT PUTS THE CAP ON. HE SMILES.
SAMANTHA
You're back!
DYLAN WALKS INTO THE CUTLERY SECTION.
DYLAN
Yeah. Where on earth have you been?
CLARISSA
Holiday. I'm back where I belong now. Can't believe how fast I can travel. It's like someone finds a hyperlink [4.] to Utah on my nose, touches it, and transports me through cyberspace back to Lone Star.
DYLAN
Then you'd have to be a mouse pointer.
CLARISSA POKES DYLAN IN THE HIP.
DYLAN
Owww.
DYLAN GRABS CLARISSA'S WAIST. SHE SQUIRMS AND HE LETS GO.
DYLAN
I'm not gonna get any work done now.
CLARISSA
Nice hat Matt.
MATT
Thanks. Um, welcome back.
CLARISSA
Thank you.
CLARISSA ENTERS THE BAG ROOM TO DROP A FEW THINGS; SHE TOSSES HER NEW PHONE ONTO THE BENCH, BUT DOESN'T LET THE CONTEXT PHASE HER. SHE'S NOT WATCHING THAT VIDEO OF CASSIE NOW, NO WAY, NO MORE CRYING. SHE EMERGES FROM THE BAG ROOM STRAIGHT AWAY.
SAMANTHA
How was NY girl?
DYLAN
You went to New York? My cousin works at the Empire State. He's head of security. Says they get ten terrorist threats a day.
CLARISSA
Dylan, your cousin's a fighter pilot.
DYLAN This is "another" cousin. He's also a member of the senate.
SAMANTHA LAUGHS.
CLARISSA
That's nice. Anyway, I didn't spend long in NY. Emily and I, we just "had" to go to Jersey Shore. Then we went to South Beach in Miami. I bought a shirt for everyone here [7.]. They're in the mail.
DYLAN
Cool. What's on it?
CLARISSA
You'll see. Hey, we really oughta start selling gelato here. I should be Lone Star's foreign correspondent. I could totally jazz this place up.
YEAH, CLARISSA'S STARING AT MATT'S HAT.
CLARISSA
Hey, what's that on the hat?
SAMANTHA
Oh; you haven't met the new girl have you?
CLARISSA
New girl?
SAMANTHA
Her name's Lana. Or Alana. Or something similar. She pointed out the name Lana Del Rey on my iPod.
MATT
She could be Delilah.
SAMANTHA
Yeah. We gotta check the roster already.
CLARISSA
Wait - pointed out? Why didn't she just tell you?
SAMANTHA
That's what's so interesting.
MATT
She's deaf.
CLARISSA
You're kidding.
DYLAN
That's what I said.
SAMANTHA
No lie. Hey, here she is!
SAMANTHA NODS TO THE FRONT OF THE KITCHEN.
SAMANTHA
Matt, you watching?
LANA'S SIGNING TO CLARE, WHO'S HIDDEN FROM VIEW IN THE STAFF ROOM.
CLARISSA
Oh yeah, Clare's mother's deaf. She can sign too. I forgot.
SAMANTHA
Matt, what's she saying?
CLARISSA LOOKS AT MATT.
CLARISSA
You can sign?
MATT PRESSES AN EARPHONE TO HIS EAR.
CLARISSA
Huh?
MATT
That can't be right.
SAMANTHA
What?
MATT
Wait. This is personal.
SAMANTHA LEADS MATT FURTHER INTO THE CUTLERY SECTION, AND AWAY FROM THE MAIN KITCHEN.
SAMANTHA
Dylan, get back to dish. We'll tell you later. Don't want everyone walking back here.
DYLAN
Um. Yeah.
HE NODS AND WALKS BACK.
SAMANTHA TOUCHES MATT'S SHOULDER.
SAMANTHA
What is it?
MATT TAKES THE CAP OFF.
MATT
So random. She said; "I need to know if I have Huntington's."
