Home Sweet Home - Part 2
1. Int. Lola & Maya's Apartment. Morning
Maya is sleeping when "Rise and Shine" by The Cardigans begins to play. She wakes up and tries to cover her ears with her pillow.
Lola:
(singing) Rise and shine. Rise and shine my sister ... Time to get up, sleepyhead.
She opens the curtains and light comes in. She's in a great mood and sings along while she cleans up. Maya gives up on getting more sleep and sits up.
Maya:
Please tell me you're not like this every morning.
Lola:
I'm all high over yesterday
Maya:
Can you at least turn the music down a little? I'm not good with mornings.
Lola uses her phone to turn it down.
Lola:
Better?
Maya:
Much. Need coffee, now.
Lola:
It's brewing, 2 minutes. Breakfast in 10.
Maya wipes the sleep from her eyes. Lola gets a Face range message, looks at her phone.
Maya:
From Zoe?
Lola:
She's going shopping and wants me to come along.
Maya:
Weren't you seeing your parents today?
Lola:
That's not until dinner. You and Zoe can come too, I'm sure. They're nice people.
Maya:
No, I need to face my mom.
Lola:
Why are you so scared of seeing her?
Maya leans back in the sofa and looks out the window with a sad look on her face.
Maya:
Because I've been a drug dealer and a sex-worker.
Lola sits down next to her. Maya turns to face her.
Lola:
How? What did you do?
Maya:
I started with stripping. At first, I hated it, but the other girls were great. The boss was pretty cool as well. But the more money I made, the more I spent on blow. I got into debt with this guy named Rex ...
Lola:
Your dealer.
Maya:
Not a guy you want to owe a lot of money to. I tried playing guitar in the streets, but I didn't make much. Then another girl at the club told me about camming.
Lola:
Camming?
Maya:
