The Little Things: Scene 1
INT. APARTMENT -- DAY
GEMMA is sitting at the small dining room table, smoking a cigarette and staring at an open laptop. She wears nothing but an oversized t-shirt. The radio plays soft music.
BUCKY walks in and sits a cup of coffee on the table.
BUCKY
Going to the shop. Is there anything you need?
GEMMA
Garlic salt...no, not the salt, the powder.
BUCKY
Okay. Is there anything else?
GEMMA
Besides the garlic powder? If there was something else, I would have mentioned it with the garlic powder. But I didn’t. Did I?
BUCKY
Not especially.
GEMMA
What?
BUCKY
What?
GEMMA
Who taught you how to speak English?
BUCKY
The Hubbard County Independent School District.
GEMMA
No. They didn’t.
Bucky grabs his wallet from the window sill and opens it up, checking his loot.
BUCKY
All right then. I’m on my way out.
GEMMA
Yes you are.
There are shuffling noises and footsteps. The front door closes. Gemma lights up another cigarette. She starts to type.
A loud noise crashing noise from outside catches her attention. She gets up from the chair and hurries to the window, peeking through the blinds.
GEMMA
Oh for fucks sake!
Cigarette still in mouth, she spots a pair of track suit bottoms.
GEMMA
Hubbard County Independent School District, indeed.
She puts on the bottoms and a pair of flip flops and heads towards the door.
