ACT ONE
[INT. LANCE'S LOFT, BEDROOM - MORNING]
[Two intertwined bodies roll around in bed. Bare limbs and backs are exposed amidst the twisted sheets. Suddenly, they disappear over the edge of the bed. Thump! Heavy breathing. And then Lance's head pops up from behind the bed.]
LANCE
That was...
[And then a woman's head pops up beside him. This is Katelyn, early-30s, beautiful, and out of breath.]
KATELYN
Oh, yeah. Top ten, at least.
LANCE
Maybe top twenty.
KATELYN
Not in the top ten?
LANCE
Well, there was Paris. Kauai. Yankee Stadium.
KATELYN
Oh, that place in the Poconos.
LANCE
Yes. Mykonos. Coney Island. And then there was Staten Island.
KATELYN
Oh, and the hot air balloon.
LANCE
The Westminster Dog Show, that was...
KATELYN
That's only nine.
LANCE
The night we made love in the ocean.
[Katelyn smiles, leans in, and gives him a kiss.]
KATELYN
We have had fun, haven't we?
LANCE
Oh, yeah.
KATELYN
Makes you wonder why we ever broke up.
LANCE
I know, right? I mean, except for you having an affair with your director and moving to Malibu, I think we really had a chance.
KATELYN
I'm moving back.
LANCE
Back to New York?
[She nods.]
KATELYN
I miss it. I miss it. I miss you.
LANCE
Um, what about your career?
KATELYN
Oh, LA's changed. The juicy roles just aren't there for an actress of my caliber. I need a change. Like Broadway, maybe. The legitimate stage.
LANCE
Yeah... Whoa. Wow. Time-out. Hang on. Katelyn, hold on. Have you really thought this through?
KATELYN
What's to think about? You and me living in the same city. It's gonna be just like old times.
[She starts kissing her way down his body. He tenses up. And the look in his eye is not lust. It's fear.]
--
[INT. ABANDONED BUILDING, COURTYARD - DAY]
[Pidge squats over the dead man from the opening montage. The victim's on his back, laid out on a large square of red flannel. The burned-down white candle is still clutched in his left hand. A glass bowl of blood is positioned by his head.]
