The Killing Pact

Hit me.

Again.

Another round?

Hold on.

Hello?

Jerry.

Hey baby.

What do you want?

Jerry?

I need my money.

You're drunk.

- And you're a month behind, I need my alimony.

- I don't owe you anything til next month, Jerry.

Hayley!

It's an emergency.

Are you kidding me?

I'm barely making things work with both of these jobs.

- Can you just lend me the money?

I'll get it back to you.

You know I'm good for it.

- No Jerry, you're not good for it.

You not good for...

Hayley!

Don't you hang up on me.

I will come over there.

I will come over there...

I'm sorry, Jerry.

Hayley!

Was that Jerry?

Just go back up to bed, okay?

You wanna sleep in here tonight?

Are you gonna call the police?

No.

It's just your dad, okay.

No.

But he won't stop calling.

Yeah, I know.

Just get some sleep, alright.

Okay.

Come on.

Okay.

Senorita Lisa,

I cannot make this work, the fabric is shredded...

Speak English.

Melanie, a word.

What can I do for you, Lisa?

- Remind me when dress rehearsal starts.

An hour.

Oh, and you're not ready.

And your sole purpose for being here

is to make sure we'll be ready.

Well, we'll be ready.

- I just passed several idle workers.

Unfinished set pieces and a seamstress so distraught

because the only costume for this performance is ruined.

Not to mention Gretchen, clumsy Gretchen,

who broke her leg last week because she didn't

know the dance routine well enough.

I don't...

- I thought that you had some pride in this theater

and what it stands for.

I certainly do.

And to think how hard that I have worked

only to have it all fall apart.

It won't.

- And then you have your nose attached to that thing.

It's the budget...

- Unaware that the world is crumbling around you.

- Um, I have a delivery for the theater.

We'll be ready.

Oh?

How?

The main costume is ruined and I happen to know

you don't have a spare.

Well actually, I...

- I know what you're trying to do, Melanie.

I know how you feel about me,

and you seem to think that that means

you can take and take and take.

I don't mean to interrupt,

I just need a...

- Don't try to sabotage me or this theater

by not doing your job.

I'm not.

Not doing your job.

Good, I'm glad you admit it.

It's time that you earn your keep, Melanie.

Now I am going to be in my office,

and I don't want to be disturbed for 15 minutes.

- Hi, I just need a quick signature here.

Have my niece do it?

Who's her niece?

I am.

Oh, great.

I just need a signature right here, please.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Okay.

- There you go, you have a good day.

You too.

- Is that the costume replacements?

Yep.

Yes.

I don't understand.

- Sorry Kevin, it's what the board has decided.

- But Mark said that I'm the best...

- Honestly Kevin, there are at least three

much stronger candidates up for this position.

The board felt that...

- Are you sure that it was the board that felt,

but not you Sarah?

- I don't know what you're implying.

- [Kevin Are you sure this isn't about that Night

you and I...

- I have no clue what you're talking about.

Come on, Sarah.

Grow up.

Grow up.

What?

Oh, everything okay?

- Sorry, another charming moment with my boss.

Lousy day.

Yeah, me too.

You wanna go out for drinks?

Yeah, I'm in.

- Hayley, I'm just finishing up now, so.

Oh great, great.

Do you want help?

- No, I'm good, I'm about ready to lock up.

Okay, see ya.

Thank you!

Hey Jamie.

- Mom, uh, remember how I told you I had a really big report

for my English class?

- Yeah, if you're not too busy working tonight,

maybe you can help me.

No no no no, no.

This is your homework.

I can't do that again, okay.

It's meant for you to learn.

Fine.

- You know what, I will proofread it though in the morning.

How 'bout that?

When will you be here?

- Uh, well I don't have any rideshares tonight,

so I mean it really shouldn't...

Hang on, just a sec.

Alright, one just came in.

Okay, I gotta take it, so.

There's some leftovers in the fridge, alright.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

It's fine, we need the money.

Yeah.

Hey, get started on your paper, alright?

I will.

Okay.

- She looks at me with this seductive face,

like of course she is.

It makes no sense otherwise.

Everything she's doing is on purpose, and I know it.

Hey!

Hi.

Hi.

- Do you think she's doing it on purpose?

So, um, are you Kevin?

Yep, that's me.

- So, uh, 345 East Hooper Street,

we still going there?

Yep, that's the one.

It'll all work out.

I'm not so sure anymore.

At least not as long as we're working together.

It's a nightmare.

- Do you know what, I'm really sorry,

I gotta take this, it's important.

Sorry.

Jerry.

Jerry, I know you're there.

You called me, please just talk.

Where are you?

I'm working.

- You shouldn't be on the phone while you're driving.

What do you want?

I want you

to say your sorry for hanging up on me last night.

Come on, Jerry.

- Say you're sorry for hanging up on me last night!

- I'm sorry for hanging up on you last night.

Good.

Now, say it again and mean it this time.

- Can you excuse me, for just a second, thanks.

- Wow, what do you think that was about?

No idea.

- I'm sorry, I'm sorry about that.

No problem.

It's okay, though.

I know a way that we can get there fast.

Is everything okay?

That sounded serious.
