A short film regarding a late night argument which leaves a couple estranged, possibly forever.
INT. APARTMENT LIVING ROOM – NIGHT
A young woman, CLARA, stands in a low lit room. A vase of flowers on the table. A young man, DAVON, stands across.
CLARA
So you’re saying I’m not worth the
money to come down here?
DAVON
No, that’s not it-
CLARA
So what is it then? You don’t want
to come and visit me?
DAVON
I just can’t afford it right now.
CLARA
But you can afford to go on
business trips across the country,
all the way to L.A., but coming up
the coast is too expensive.
DAVON
Clara, you’re being ridiculous.
CLARA
Oh, now I’m ridiculous?
DAVON
Yes. Ridiculous and stubborn and
a pain in my ass.
CLARA
You know what, just, just get out.
DAVON
You can’t kick me out, my train
doesn’t leave until tomorrow. I
don’t have anywhere to go.
CLARA
How about a hotel, where you can
go and spend your precious money.
DAVON
What about my stuff?
CLARA
Good thing you’re already packed.
Clara leaves the room and returns with a suitcase and a bag. She shoves them at Davon. He jerks the handle up on the suitcase. Clara walks him to the door. He leaves.
Clara slams the door. She returns to the living room, grabs the flowers, and throws them in the trash. She storms to her bedroom. A cell phone sits on a chair, unnoticed.
