with their surfboardS and suits. Chris looks at Jason's

and knocks her to the ground. They all laugh and Danny
breaks off and heads east on Rose.
CUT TO:
INT. DUMPY APARTMENT - TIGHT ON TEARY EYES
DAVINA VINYARD, in a UCLA T-SHIRT and panties, cries on
the couch as she hugs a LONG HAIRED Derek. DORIS sobs as
she lays under a pink blanket, burdened by the flu.
Shirtless Derek grabs Doris' hand and leans over to kiss
her.
DEREK
It's gonna be fine.
EXT. DUMPY APARTMENT BUILDING - NIGHT
Danny skates up to his residence and looks at a car
across the street. Two plainclothes cops from the
earlier meeting sit in their car and stare from afar.
Danny goes through the gate.
iNT. HOUSE- SAME
Danny walks in on the tearful family conclave. He stands
there, wishing the day would just end.
DANNY
Oh man--! Come on! What are you
crying about now?
THE PHONE RINGS and Derek rushes down the hall to get it.
DEREK
I got it.
Danny looks to his mother.
DANNY
Are you feeling better at all?
DORIS
I need a kiss.
Danny wipes away her tears, kisses her, and moves away
quickly so he won't get sick.
INT. BEDROOM - DEREK ON THE PHONE
He listens to the man on the other line.
DEREK
Unhuh. Unhuh. Did you expel him?
INT. LIVING ROOM - SAME
There's a knock on the front door and Davina answers.
She opens the door and tries to shut it immediately.
SKINHEAD FAT SETH, from the game earlier, wears a GOOD
GUYS STEREO UNIFORM. He pushes the door back open.
DAVINA
What do you want!?
SETH
Open up, bitch!
Davina relents and Seth enters.
DAVINA
(examining him)
Jesus! Are you sure you can fit
through the door?
SETH
Fuck off.
(excited)
Where is he?
DAVINA
Back in his bedroom.
Seth pushes Danny to the side, passes Doris and yells.
SETH
(smiling)
Where are you, you free motherfucker?
Seth moves down the hall and bangs on Derek's door.
SETH
Vinyard!
DAVINA
He's on the phone, asshole!
SETH
Fuck off.
DEREK (O.S.)
I'll be out in a minute!
Without pushing it, Seth undoes his pants and moves into
the bathroom. Danny walks down the hall.
INT. BATHROOM - THE CAN
Seth sits on the toilet. Danny pushes the door slightly
and stares at Seth's GUN on the bathroom counter. Danny
looks at him. After a few seconds--
SETH
What are you lookin' at?
DANNY
I'm still trying to figure it out.
SETH
Come in here and I'll show you,
maggot.
DANNY
Fuck off. When'd you start carryin'?
SETH
I'm dropping the kids off at the pool,
junior. Shut the fuckin' door!
Danny grabs his nose and turns to the door behind him.
DANNY
Jesus! Chew your food, dude!
