__Scene 1:__ Fade in/ zoom in to wooden door with nametag saying “Allen Green”. Some one opens door from inside. Camera cannot see person. Camera comes into office. Show Allen sitting at his desk working on his computer.

Cut to side angle of Allen. Phone rings. Allen looks seriously at number. The second he sees the number he becomes happy with and thriving with excitement. (Yet not like a little kid.)

Allen: Hi there, I missed you. (Say sweetly)

Cut to Rachel sitting in another office. (At her desk or standing up.)

Rachel: I missed you too, although we did have lunch together. (She says, in a joking manner.)

Cut to a clock on the wall showing that it is 1:30.

Cut to Allen still sitting at his desk. Though now with a huge smile on his face. Allen: Yeah, but lets remember who called who. (Still smiling ear to ear.)

Cut to Rachel, if she was not standing before she is standing now, she has a worried maybe even serious look on her face. Rachel: Look Allen, I have something that I really need to talk to you about.

She pauses for a few seconds. Rachel: This is really hard for me to say.

Cut to Allen, now with a look of concern on his face. Allen: Well just say it. You can tell me anything.

Cut back to Rachel Rachel: I want to break up. I just don’t think that us being together is good. But its not… Cut to Allen, He interrupts her. Allen: I know what you’re going to say, it not you its me. (He sighs, uncomfortably) Cut back to Rachel Yeah… I ‘m really sorry. I just… Cut to Allen No it’s okay. I have to go. Bye. Cut to Rachel Okay, bye. Cut back to Allen. He has that look of disbelief on his face. He takes a few deep breaths and then barriers his face in his hands. (Could maybe even add a shake to the head.) Fade out.

__Scene 2:__ Greg and Patrick: Oh my gosh. (Say in unison.) Greg: What did that girl do to you? Cut to side view of Allen and his friends. They have come through the door fame more. Allen: What makes you think it was Rachel? (He cringes as he speaks the name.)
 * • Show scene of living room. Zoom into Allen sitting on couch. He is staring off into space. He looks depressed. Someone knocks on the door. At the very sound Allen jumps. As he gets up to get the door, the audience can really see that he is a mess. He walks slowly to the door. Almost like a sloth.
 * • Cut to Allen still looking terrible and moving like a sloth as he goes to get the door.
 * • Cut to view from behind Allen as he open the door. Greg and Patrick are in the front with big smiles on their faces and Jared is in the back with a shy look in his face.
 * • At the very second they see his face, their faces change from happy to shock.

Patrick: Oh, I don’t know maybe it’s the fact that this is not the first time she’s dumped you. (Pursing his lips and giving him the eye.)

Allen: That true. (Says sadly and looks down at his feet)

Greg: Well she choice a good time to dump you because I just got my paycheck today.

Cut to shot of Patrick now standing next to Allen. (Camera is in Greg point of view. Both are staring at him confused. (While all this is going in you can see Jared in the background paying with random stuff.) Allen and Patrick tilt their heads to the right at the same time.

Allen and Patrick: What? (Say in unison)

Cut to Greg now standing by him self. Greg: Oh come on, guys. We all know that whenever Allen gets dumped he gets depressed.

Cut to shot of semi- close up of Allen:

Allen: Not true. (Says defensively.) Greg: No it is true. And the only way to cheer you up is to go to a Yankees game. Hence good thing I got my paycheck. Cut to close up if Patrick. Patrick: (Say excitedly) So, lets get the show on the road.

Cut to shot of Greg and Allen walking away. (Side by side) You can hear the groaning.

Cut back to Patrick who has now alone. He has turned around and you can see the open door behind him. Patrick: Come guys. (He says like he does not know why they are groaning.)

He sighs and closes the door. He walks the same way that Allen and Greg went, but the camera does not follow them. Then slowly zoom into door and fade out. __Scene 3:__ Cut to shot of (from left to right) Jared, Patrick, Greg and Allen walking off a baseball field.

Allen: Well, guys that really cheered me up. I guess sometimes it’s not always a bad idea to listen to your older brother. Everyone chuckles. Allen: Hey Jared, (He is now looking around everyone to be able to see Jared.) You should probably eat your hotdog before we get to the car.

Cut to close up of Jared. He takes a quick look at his hot dog and says:

Jared: You are probably right.

He goes into take a bite, but the second his noise gets close enough to really be able to smell it, he flinches back and make a revolted face. Jared: Hey, who else had a hot dog?

Cut back to shot of all of them, they have stopped walking now. They are in the middle (or so) of the outfield. Allen raises his hand but the second he sees that no else is saying they did he speaks up and says: Allen: I did, I had two. Why? Jared: Just because this one smells bad. Allen: Oh. (He says like he doesn’t care.)

Jared throws the hot dog away with one swish and walks back to the group. When he is back to standing next to Patrick again, Allen’s cell rings. He pauses to look at the number. When he sees it he frowns. Greg: Who is it?

Allen looks up at him almost petrified.

Allen: It’s Rachel.

He picks up the phone and walks away. The camera cannot pick up his conversation but the camera follows him until he is about 5ft. away from the guys, then cut to side shot of them with Greg being closest to the camera. Greg: I really hope that this time he puts his foot down and just says no to her. She is just going to hurt him again.

He looks at his little brother and folds his arms. Patrick: Yeah, all she does is plays games with him. I think she likes hurting him. He deserves better.

He also looks at Allen and folds his arms. Cut to front shot of them. Greg and Patrick look at Jared as if they were expecting him to say something. (Or at least fold his arms and look at Allen with a discouraging look.) Jared gets it right away. Jared: Oh, sorry (he mumbles)

He then folds his arms and does exactly what Greg and Patrick did. Then Allen comes back over with a happy look. Greg: Oh no, I know that look. He and Rachel are back together. Allen: And why is that a bad thing. She said that she is going though a rough time and she relieved that the only person who she could trust enough is me.

(He says trying to convince them. Also in the background you can see that Jared has spaced out, again.)

Patrick: That’s sappy and all, but we (he pauses for a second and takes a quick look at Jared.) or at least Greg and I, the ones who are currently on this planet, don’t want to see you get hurt again. (He looks at him with some concern now.)

Allen: She said that this time it’s for real. (He gives them that look of “Believe me just because you should”.)

They all (except Allen) groan Patrick can even say sure believe her, or take her side. (Something along those lines.) They keep walking. Then fade out.

__Scene 4:__ Cut to Allen asleep on the couch still in his regular clothes. The camera is at a side angle. Then Allen slowly wakes up. He then looks at the clock. Cut to close up of clock that says 8.00 AM. Cut back to Allen on the couch. He flinches at the time and jumps up off the couch. Then he notices that he is not feeling well, and puts his hand on his head. Right now when he talks he sounds sick, he mumbles. Allen: Ugh, I can’t go into work like this.

He picks up the phone and calls his work. Allen: Hey Sarah, I am too sick to come into work. Could you put me down as a vacation day?

He waits a little bit as Sarah the secretary is talking. (Count to 7 slowly) Allen: Okay, thank you so much Sarah, bye.

He hangs up the phone and sits down on the couch. He puts his head in his hands and groans. He then looks up, off in the distance. Allen: Maybe some soup will help.

He gets up and walks out of the room. The camera does not follow him. Cut to Allen sitting back down on the couch with a bowl of soup. He picks up the remote and turns on the television.

News Caster (V.O.) And now Ken with the weather.

Voices from television fade out when Allen’s phone rings. He puts down his bowl and picks up his phone. Allen: Hi Rachel. Rachel (V.O.) Allen, I am really scared. A plane just hit the north tower. There is smoke everywhere. Please come over here and help. (Say franticly) Allen: Rachel first of all I can’t I’m home sick and second what exactly is going on.

Rachel (V.O) Allen a plane just hit the building and there is smoke and…OH MY GOSH (she screens)… there are people jumping.

Allen is in shock. Next thing you hear is the television.

News Caster (V.O.) Oh, I am sorry to interrupt you Ken, but there has been an urgent news alert. Apparently a plane has hit the north twin tower.

Rachel’s voice fades back in. Rachel: Allen, Allen, are you there, Allen.

Allen: Oh sorry, Rachel. They just put the story up in the news. Are you okay? Rachel: Well the plane hit about 10 or so stories above us and the smoke is really bad. (She coughs)

Allen: Rachel try to get out! (His voice is clearer now, and much more urgent.)

Rachel: I’ll try, but… (She pauses)… if I don’t get out in time. I want you to know that I have and will always care about you. Allen: Rachel, don’t say that, you will get out in time.

The phone line is cut short and Rachel is gone. Allen: RACHEL! RACHEL! ARE YOU THERE? RACHEL? (The last one is weaker.)

Allen hangs up the phone and puts his head in his hands.

News Caster (V.O.) And now apparently the north tower has collapsed. Fade out.

__Scene 5:__ Cut to shot of Allen standing in front of hallway mirror. Fade into Allen in a blazer and tie. Cut to shot from behind him, so that you see his face in the mirror, but you cannot see the camera. He is fixing his tie in the hall mirror, more like having trouble with it. Greg comes up behind him and puts his hand on his shoulder and says:

Greg: Well I guess a Yankees game want help with this one.

Allen: Nope. (He pauses for a second and sighs.) Could you help me with this?

Cut to side view of them, Greg is now face to face with Allen. He is fixing his tie.

Greg: There, much better.

Patrick comes up behind them so that his body is square with the camera. He puts one hand in Greg’s right shoulder and a hand on Allen’s left shoulder.

Patrick: So are you guys ready for the funeral.

He looks at them seriously, pats Allen’s shoulder and walks over to get the door. He opens it and they leave. (Count to 5) Then Patrick opens the door in a hurry and screams: Patrick: Jared, we’re leaving, lets go.

Jared comes run toward him. Patrick walks out side and Jared follows him closing the door. Zoom in on door and fade out. (The end, credits and last thing you see is cast and crew photo.)
