LIVING ROOM AT REGINA’ HOUSE - NIGHT
REGINA sitting
upright on the couch in her pajamas. STACY
laying beside her in her pajamas, legs crossing over REGINA’S knees. JADE laying
on the carpet in front of the TV in her pajamas.
STACY
Sooooo, we don’t have class tomorrow.
JADE picks
up the remote laying by her side and starts flipping through channels.
STACY
Should
we do anything tomorrow? I mean there’s no school and none of us have to go to
work until Saturday afternoon.
JADE keeps
flipping through channels until she stops on a late News Report on a Fire
downtown.
REGINA
Maybe
but what?
STACY looks
over at JADE, who’s watching the
news report intently.
STACY
Hey,
Jade, do you want to go anywhere tomorrow?
JADE
looks
over her shoulder at the two girls on the couch. She stays silent for second
then speaks.
JADE
Shouldn’t
fire trucks technically be called “Water Trucks”?
The girls stay quiet for a beat, then
they all burst out in roaring laughter
