Opening: Night scene - Camera pans an upscale bedroom. It is neat and well decorated. Someone is in bed, alone, and fast asleep. A cell phone charging on the nightstand reads 12:15. It begins to ring.
(Groggily) Hello?
Hi. It's me, what're you doing?
(not happy) I was sleeping. (Testily) Why are you calling me, what do you want.
Nothing, I was just thinking how much I miss you, wanting to hear your voice.
Yeah, I miss you too, but we've been through all this... I thought we agreed not to call each other.
Are you alone?
(Sigh) Why are you calling? Have you been drinking?
A little, I was out with the crew from work. It's what made me think of you. So many of our old friends have coupled up.
(Silence, then...) Remember, it was you who decided we should see other people.
Are you? Seeing other people?
I don't want to talk about it.
Can I come over and just cuddle?
THAT is definitely not a good idea. (A moment of silence is broken by the sound of clinking glasses, then a quiet pop, followed by an audible fizz) What was that?
A bottle of Billecart Salmon 'Le Rose'. Am I drinking alone?
(short pause, then with happy resignation) I'll be right there.
Just grab your robe and come outside. I'm on your front deck.
