Title: 8-BALL
FADE IN
INT: NEW YORK FANCY APARTMENT
We see gold handles of a mohogany door turn as JEFFREY, a well dressed man in his 40’s, walks in.
JEFFREY enters into what looks like an expensive apartment and loosens his tie as he walks through a long hallway. As he makes his way through the halllway, we see a woman in red, ELZA, crossing behind him.
INT: BILLIARD ROOM
JEFFREY passes the pool table where the game is waiting to be played. He opens it up with a great shot. With satisfaction on his face he walks over to the bar and pours himself a drink.
Suddenly he sees ELZA standing by the pool table. She is wearing a sleek long red dress.
JEFFREY
You really should get some sleep my darling.
ELZA does not move. She looks upset.
JEFFREY goes over to kiss her. She turns away.
ELZA
It’s 3 AM.
JEFFREY
Precisely
ELZA
Where were you?
JEFFREY
Making money honey. The stock market never sleeps, you know that. When its night time here, its morning in Hong Kong. Someone has to pay for all these expensive shoes and dresses my dear.
ELZA holds up what looks like a dark hair strand.
ELZA
What is this?
JEFFREY is looking at the hair.
JEFFREY
I give up, what is it?
ELZA
I found it in our bed.
JEFFREY
Then it’s probably our cleaning lady’s.
ELZA
Anna is a blonde.
JEFFREY
C’mon honey, then it must be mine. Alright.
JEFFREY takes the hair and tries it on his head. It is obviously much longer than his. Elza is in disbelief.
JEFFREY
Now can we go to bed. Lets talk about it in the morning.
ELZA
I’m leaving
JEFFREY
Honey, I love you, alright. It’s nothing, lets go to bed, I’ve got an early breakfast meeting.
ELZA
I mean it. I’ve had enough; I’m leaving.
ELZA turns to leave.
JEFFREY
Actually no, you’re not!
JEFFREY crabs ELZA’S hand. She pulls it away.
ELZAS walks away, only to stop at the pool table, where she picks up the 8-ball and throws it to the table.
We see JEFFREY standing there disappointed. We hear the keys being dropped on the table as she is leaving.
FADE TO BLACK.
