"1267 Winston Blvd,10:00 P.M"
In the living room, Henry lays back on his sofa as he eats a bowl of cheese puffs while watching TV. Suddenly, his phone begins ringing as he looked at it sitting on the table.
Henry: Damnit!
Henry sucks the cheese dust off of his fingers and wipes them off on his sweatpants as he stood to his feet before looking at his phone screen.
"Incoming call from Kate!"
Henry: Hmmph! Wonder what she has to say about me now!
Henry picks his phone up and answers it.
Henry: Hello?
Kate: *Sigh* "H...hey, Henry... We need to talk."
Henry: About?
Kate: "Me and the kids. Earlier this week, Eddie and I got into a heated argument and a few things were said here and there...so he ended up kicking us all out of the house...*Sniff*...I don't have a job, I don't have money, I don't have a car, and worst of all, I don't have a place for us to stay anymore!"
Henry: Mm-hmm!
Kate: "We're currently stay at a motel for the moment until we can find somewhere else to go, but... I don't know who'd let us move in with them until then."
Henry: "Well you can always come over and stay with for awhile....I mean....
Kate: "Ok. I'll try to gather as much money as I can and buy me and the kids flight tickets so we can fly over to Westopolis."
Henry (😳): Ummm....ok! That's cool!
Kate: "Ok. Guess I'll see you then."
Henry: Ok! Love you!
Kate: "What?"
Henry: N... nothing!
Henry immediately hangs up and tosses his phone aside.
Henry: Phew!
The doorbell rings as Henry stands back to his feet and walks to the front door as he opens, finding Ralphie standing outside, wearing a fedora, grey shirt and blue jeans with boots standing outside.
Henry: What's up?
Ralphie: Nothing much! Just checking up on you! That's all!
Ralphie walks into the house as Henry closes the door behind him.
Henry: Oh yeah! Guess who called today?
Ralphie: Nice try, but I'm not falling for that!
Henry: No! Not that, dumbass! Kate called today! Says her and the kids got kicked out by her boyfriend and are looking for a place to stay!
Ralphie: What did you say?
Henry: I accidentally slipped up and stay with me for awhile!
Ralphie: And that's a problem?
Henry: Well ...
Ralphie: I mean you two were married for a couple years and had three kids!
Henry: Yeah, but I don't if I'm ready to forgive her after all the she said the night she threw me out on the streets!
Ralphie' What did she call you?
Henry: I don't even remember! She was so pissed that she started making up all sorts of names like limp dick pisswasser!
Ralphie: A what?
Henry: Limp dick pisswasser!
Ralphie: What the hell is that!?
Henry: I don't know!
Ralphie's phone vibrates as he pulls it out of his pocket and takes a look at it.
"New message from Laura"
Ralphie: Hey,man! I'll talk to you later!
Henry: Alright!
Henry and Ralphie shake hands and go in for a brotherly hug.
Ralphie: Take care!
Henry: You too!
Ralphie walks outside as Henry heads upstairs to his bedroom to drop a deuce in his bathroom.
"To be continued"
