Mystery of love

WHEN THE NIGHT IS LONG

(SCENE 1, ALAN'S CAR)

(ALAN and GRACE sit in silence. ALAN looks nervous.)

ALAN

Hey I'm going to make a quick stop at Sams um is that cool with you ?

GRACE

Sure.

(ALAN wants to say something but doesn't. They arrive at his bar)

ALAN

Um do you need anything ?

GRACE

No.

ALAN

Want to say goodbye with me ?

GRACE

I'm good.

ALAN

Ok. (He goes near the bar and waves SAM over, He comes outside.)

SAM

Hey, What's up.

ALAN

Uh Grace and I are leaving tonight.

SAM

Leaving ? Where are you going.

ALAN

I don't know, just we can't stay here anymore. You know it's too depressing.

SAM

Yeah I get that well I hope you and tenderness over there are happy together.

ALAN

Yeah hopefully she just seems lost in thought.(thinks) I just wanted to tell you uh bye and thanks for being the dad I never had.

SAM

It was my pleasure. See you around, kid.

ALAN

Also I need that pink flower you keep in your window. There's one more place I got to visit.

SAM

Of course

(he gets the flower)

ALAN

Thank you Sam.

(He opens the car door and looks at SAM and waves goodbye at him, he gets in. SAM waves goodbye at ALAN, GRACE waves goodbye.)

Hey Grace can you hold this for me while I drive. Be careful with it, it's a gift.

GRACE

Uh sure for who ?

ALAN

Uhhh (starts the car and begins to drive) My mom.

GRACE

Oh where does she live ?

ALAN

(sighs) nowhere. (GRACE looks confused. They continue driving and arrive at a cemetery.)

GRACE

(looks around) Alan, I'm sorry I didn't know.

ALAN

No, Grace it's fine. I'm just going to drop off this flower for her, these were her favorite.

GRACE
