Tough Love: Episode 5

DUKE

This brings back memories huh? You trying to take my pants off.

(The laughter dies down and all stand in awkward silence.)

LANA

(Awkward) Right well, I’ve got a lot of work to do so…

DUKE

(Awkward) Yeah, of course. Wilt and I have that thing so…

(Duke trails off and starts to head out of the front door with Wilt.)

LANA

Oh! Don’t forget. You have to come with me to meet with the licensing officer later today.

(Duke pauses for a moment in the doorway.)

DUKE

Wouldn’t miss it.

(Duke and Wilt exit as the scene fades out.)

EXT. – LICENSING OFFICE – MIDDAY

(Scene opens on a close-up of the map which zooms out to show Duke holding it. Cut to a shot of Duke and Wilt sitting on the curb outside of the Licensing Office.)

DUKE

If I had known that she was just going to make us wait outside I wouldn’t have come.

WILT

Well it’s not like either one of us know how all this technical stuff works. Besides, watching Lana go through paperwork probably wouldn’t have been very exciting anyway.

(Duke stands up and holds the map out to admire it.)

DUKE

Yeah, I guess.

(Suddenly a knife flies in from off-screen and lodges itself in Duke’s leg. Duke falls to the ground screaming. Wilt jumps up to try and help him but Duke pulls away whenever Wilt tries to touch the knife.)

DUKE

FUUUCK! Get it out! Get it out! Get it out! (Slapping Wilt’s hand away.) NO! Don’t touch it!

(The Mistress calmly walks by, snatches the map out of Duke’s hand, then continues off-screen again.)

MISTRESS

Thank you.

(Duke and Wilt continue to wrestle as Wilt attempts to remove the knife.)
