I revised this sucker again. Some character names changed, some characters show up sooner, some events changed. Nothing too big but meh.

FADE IN:

INT. REC ROOM OF THE V.I.U. - DAY

The room is lit by a light above a table, where DEX and LEE are sitting across from each other, both holding two cards.

Dex looks up from his cards and narrows his eyes.


DEX: (very serious) Are you ready Lee? This next move... it could be a game changer.


Lee looks up from her cards and grins.


LEE: Hell yeah man, let's do it.


[The cards that are already on the table are the ten of spades, the five of hearts, the queen of spades, the seven of spades, and the jack of spades.]

Suspenseful pause before Lee flashes her cards to Dex, revealing the nine of spades and the eight of spades.


LEE: (smiling smugly) Straight Flush!


Dex groans and drops his head. As Lee reaches for the skittles in the middle of the table, Dex holds his hands up to stop her.


DEX: (smug) Hold up there, look at this.


Dex set his cards on the table. The king of spades and the ace of spades. Lee looks at the cards for a brief moment before she hits the table in frustration, throwing her cards down as well.


LEE: Aw come on!


Dex grins as he slides the skittles off the table and into a zip lock back he brought.


DEX: Ah well, better luck next time.

LEE: (grumbling) Yeah, yeah. Lucky game for you.

DEX: Luck had nothing to do with it. That was all pure skill.

LEE: (skeptical) Uh huh.


Dex ignores Lee as he checks his watch, then stands up.


DEX: We should probably head back.


Lee looks at her phone on the table for the time and sighs as she starts collecting the cards.


DEX: Hey.


Lee pauses as Dex holds his hand.

DEX: Good game Lee.


Lee rolls her eyes and grins as she stands up as well, shaking Dex's hand.


LEE: Good game Dex.


Lee finishes collecting the cards and she grabs her phone as Dex walks around the table. Then Dex and Lee walk over to the elevator.
