WEEK FOUR ~ SO?

SO?
By
Kyle Gregory Boynton

INT. FRED’S CAR - DUSK
FRED - confident, charming - sits in the driver’s seat,
eagerly.
He reaches into the backseat, pulls out a BOX. Sets it on
the dashboard.
Suddenly, FRED perks up at the sight of RUTH entering the
car.

FRED
So?

She plops down in her seat, unsatisfied.

RUTH
No.

FRED
(confused)
No?

She sighs.

RUTH
No.

RUTH notices the box. Inspects it, curiously. FRED nods.
Picks it up and hands it to her.
She opens the box to find a calendar that features FRED in
erotic poses for each month - firefighter, astronaut, etc.
RUTH laughs. Hard. Cries a little. Her makeup starts to run
from her eyes, making her look like a rock star with heavy
eyeliner.
She looks in the mirror, wiping her eyes, notices her
appearance.

RUTH
It’s all your fault!

Playfully hits FRED.

FRED
(laughing)
I couldn’t help it!

Beat.

RUTH
(seductively)
So?

FRED
So!

They embrace, passionately.
