1.
A loft in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn. Winter. Night. The front door is unlocked and opened, casting light from the hallway. James, hauling duffles, and camera bags, helps Sarah, on crutches, inside. Both are winded, having climbed the stairs.
JAMES: Almost there . . . Atta girl . . . Watch the step.
SARAH: I see.
JAMES: How you doing? (She nods) Youâre doing great.
SARAH (Sarcastic): Oh, yeah.
JAMES: There you go . . . (He helps her into a chair) And . . . sheâs down. The Eagle has landed. (Exhausted, she nods and manages a smile) That wasnât too bad, now was it?
SARAH: Piece a cake.
JAMES: Letâs do this again sometime.
SARAH: Letâs.
JAMES: Try it with an elevator next time.
(She smiles. A beat.)
SARAH (Momentary alarm): Where are my cameras?
JAMES (Reassuring): Theyâre right here.
dp n="14" folio="8" ?(A beat.)
You okay?
SARAH: Thirsty.
JAMES: Water, or uh . . . ?
SARAH: Water would be great.
JAMES: One water, coming up.
(He fills a glass. She removes her stocking hat. We see more clearly the scars on her face. He hands her the glass.)
SARAH: Thanks.
(He waits for her to drink it all down.)
JAMES: Okay?
(She nods while drinking.)
More?
(She shakes her head.)
SARAH: Thank you.
(She gives him her glass.)
JAMES: Hungry?
SARAH: Do we have anything?
(He looks in the refrigerator.)
JAMES: Uh . . . No. Nothing edible, anyway.
(He sniffs a container of spoiled milk, reacts to the stench.)
Uch.
SARAH: What.
(He pours the clotted milk down the drain.)
JAMES: I ran out of here so fast . . . I didnât have time to empty the fridge . . . (A take-out container) Mmm! Want some six-week-old calamari? I think itâs calamari, could be linguine.
SARAH: Donât worry about that now.
JAMES (Shows her): Look. Gonna need dental records to identify this one.
SARAH: Jamie, really, just leave it.
(He abandons the task.)
JAMES: Iâll go food shopping in the morning.
SARAH: Thatâs fine.
JAMES: Unless you want me to run down now.
SARAH: No. Just . . . (Gestures for him to relax)
JAMES (An idea): Hey how about a nightcap?
SARAH: Iâd love a nightcap.
JAMES: Should be some scotch . . . (He finds a bottle) Yes.
(He pours two glasses. Silence.)
SARAH: Strange.
JAMES: What.
SARAH: Being here.
JAMES: I bet.
(His cell phone rings.)
SARAH: I donât want to talk to anybody.
JAMES (Looks at his phone): Itâs Richard.
SARAH: Not even Richard.
JAMES: Oh, shit, he wanted me to call when we landed.
dp n="16" folio="10" ?SARAH: Youâve had your hands full. Heâll understand; call him in the morning.
(James nods, turns off the phone, hands her the drink.)
JAMES: Cheers, baby.
SARAH: Cheers.
(They drink. Silence. She thinks of something that makes her laugh.)
JAMES: What.
SARAH: The cab driver. Just now. What a character! Wasnât he?
JAMES: Uh-huh.
SARAH: What is it he said that cracked us up?
JAMES (Recalling): Oh, yeah, uh . . .
SARAH (Remembering): âBottle cap.â
JAMES: Right.
SARAH: He meant âbottleneck.â âBottle cap up ahead.â I didnât know what the hell he was talking about.
JAMES: Me, neither.
(Pause.)
SARAH: Reminded me of Tariq.
JAMES: Oh, yeah?
SARAH: Didnât he remind you . . . ?
JAMES: No. Canât say he did.
(A beat.)
SARAH: Huh.
(Pause. She touches his arm. He looks at her.)
Thank you.
JAMES: For what?
SARAH: For everything. For getting me home, for being there.
JAMES: I wasnât there.
SARAH: For being there when I woke up. Thank you for that.
JAMES (A rueful smile): Yeah, well, uh . . .
(He unpacks sundries and medications. Silence.)
SARAH: What happens tomorrow?
JAMES: Tomorrow? We sleep in. However long we like.
SARAH: What else?
JAMES (Shrugs): Errands ânâ shit.
(Pause.)
SARAH: What happens day after that?
JAMES: Day after thatâs Doctorsâ Day. My shrink at nine, your orthopedist at one . . .
SARAH: Goody . . .
JAMES: Neuro-guy at three-something . . . Physical Therapy at five . . .
SARAH: Iâm a real fun date, arenât I.
JAMES: Baby, youâre the best.
(Pause.)
SARAH: And what happens after that?
JAMES: After that?
(She nods. Pause.)
We put you back together again.
(A beat. He kisses her forehead.)
Welcome home.
2.
A few days later. Late afternoon. James sits at the table typing on his laptop. Sarah, her laptop nearby, exercises her leg by raising and lowering it. We hear the sound of an arriving email.
JAMES: I just sent you something.
(Sarah checks her email. She laughs.)
SARAH: Thatâs good.
(Silence. The sound of a second email.)
JAMES: I just sent you another one.
SARAH: I thought you were working.
JAMES: I am.
(She reads the second email.)
SARAH (A tepid response): Very funny.
(A beat.)
(Regarding his work) This that freelance piece?
JAMES: Uh-huh.
SARAH: What are you calling it?
JAMES: Oh, I donât know, âThe New Cinema of Crue...
