early tonight, but I guess I will
be there shortly to sign those
papers. Make sure you have them
ready for me!
                                                            
Rain jumps off the treadmill, and wipes the sweat with her
towel. She grabs her water and takes a swig. There is a sexy
man, over by the weights. They lock eyes for a moment, as

Gary turns and walks towards the house.
                                                            
                       JOHN
      (stopping Gary)
You know Gary, you're a good guy.
Maybe,I can come over and you can
give me some tips or something?

No problem John. Besides what are
neighbors for?
                                                            
Gary, walks in the house. Rain is sitting down in the dark,
waiting for him to enter.
                                                            
                                                            
                       RAIN
      (squinting her
       eyes)
Where have you been?
                                                            
Gary almost jumps out the door.
                                                            
                       GARY
Oh my god, baby, you almost scared
me half to death.
                                                            
Gary walks over to the kitchen. He sits down the grocery.
He turns back around. Rain is standing directly behind him.
Gary is startled.
                                                            
                       GARY
      (jumpy)
Hot damn baby!
                                                            
Rain tilts her head to the side. Her head is slightly bent
down, making her eyes bulge out the top of her head.
                                                            
                       RAIN
Wanna hear a story?
                                                            
                       RAIN

                       RAIN (cont'd)
every taught her a damn thang.
                                                            
Rain walks closer to Gary, only for him to back away. She
takes her index finger nail, and scratches it across the
kitchen counter.
                                                            
                       RAIN
I mean not only is she a little
touched, but she also tells all of
her business to anyone who will
listens.
                                                            
Rain take her fingers and crawls them toward the knife rack.
She pulls up one knife, that is obviously to small. She
crawls up to the largest knife in the rack and pulls it out.


Rain turns around to Gary and with the bottom of the knife
in one hand and twirling the tip of the knife around her
index finger. She walks over to Gary and hops on the counter
with Gary in between her legs. Gary starts to walk off.
                                                            
                       RAIN
      (pulling Gary back)
We're you going? I'm not going to
hurt you. Why!!! I love you.
Anyway I have a story to finish.
                                                            
Rain take her arm and rubs it down Gary's chest, then she
put her hand around Gary's neck.
                                                            
                       RAIN
She told me, and all of my
colleagues, that her husband
spends more time at the casino
then he does in their own bed
room, let along the bed.
                                                            
Rain pulls Gary's chin over to her, almost mouth to mouth.
                                                            
                       RAIN
Well, we all no, I could never
ever get that desperate. I mean
look at me, I'm the baddest bitch
you're ever gonna touch, see, hold
or fuckkk!
                                                            
Rain takes the knife and slides it down Gary's neck.

                       RAIN
But most importantly, we both know
that I would never, ever, put up
with that SHIT! Don't we?
                                                            
Rain grabs a fist full of hair and pulls his head back.
Gary pushes the knife away from his throat, and pulls away
from Rains grip.
                                                            
                       GARY
Baby! What are you doing? What are
we doing? I mean, I go out of my
way to plan an romantic night with
you. Please Rain, I really don't
want any drama tonight. Can we
please just have a good evening
for once? Please baby!
                                                            
                       RAIN
What was that? You get a Oscar for
that sorry ass performance.
                                                            
Rain slams the knife down on the counter.
                                                            
                       RAIN
      (mocking Gary)
I planned a romantic night for us!
Can we gave a good evening for
once! Please baby? Get the fuck

Rain grabs her coat an head towards the door.
                                                            
                       RAIN

school early. That other little
brat, Shane, can catch the bus

girl, or am I a superstar?
                                                            
Gary turns around on the other side of the counter.
                                                            
                       GARY
I don't know Rain? You've been
wanting a puppy, so I thought now

down at the floor.
                                                            
                       RAIN
And, you better have this cleaned
up, before I get back!
                                                            
Gary is breathing heavily. He drops to his knees,he can't
believe in what he has just witnessed. A single tear rolls
down his face. He looks over at the window an noticed a
strange figure running away.

Gary runs out to see who it was. He runs around the side of
the house sweating and breathing heavily. There is no one.

                       SHANE
      (excited)
Daddy! I missed you so much. You

                       SHANE
You know I do. Why, you're the
greatest dad in the world. I

bucks, dad!
                                                            
Gary kneels down in front of him.
                                                            
                       GARY
What would I do without you son?
You're so full of grace and charm.
                                                            
Gary stands up.
                                                            
                       GARY
Only if you could rub off some of
that charm on your mother,
everything would be ok.
                                                            
Gary walks back to the kitchen, trying not to let Shane see
him choking up. Shane walks up behind him, putting his arms
around his waste.
                                                            
                       SHANE
Don't worry dad! Happiness will
come again, you just have to be
patient. O.K?

                       SHANE
Oh yea, I waited for Molly to get
on the bus, but she never came.
                                                            
                       GARY
That's because your mother picked
her up from school early today.
                                                            
                       SHANE
Why didn't she get me?
                                                            
                       GARY
      (rushing Shane out
       the door,trying
       to avoid question)
I don't know baby. You know your
mother, she gets a little confused
sometimes.
                                                            
Shane heads out the door. Usha (14), lives down the street
form the Corral's. She has always adored Gary. She walks up
to Shane.

The family is sitting around the kitchen table. The steak,
potatoes, cabbage and green beans, is steaming, hot and
fresh. There is complete an udder silence. Rain picks up the
wine bottle and pulls another drink.
                                                            
                       SHANE
      (hesitantly)
Everything looks delisious, dad.
                                                            
Rain smacks her lips and grabs a roll.
                                                            
                       SHANE
      (proudly)
You know, I scored a 100 on my
english test today.

                       RAIN

Gary looks up at Rain.
                                                            
                       GARY
      (softly)
Baby, Shane was telling us about
her test, can we just give him a
minute, please?
                                                            
                       RAIN
      (shouting)
Look Gary, don't antagonize me in
front of my children. I heard him
talking about his stupid ass
English test. Who cares, its
english. We're in AMERICA.
                                                            
Rain stands up, staggering over the table.

                       RAIN (cont)
      (continuing)
If you don't know English by now,
then you're in the wrong place.
                                                            
Rain swings her head around to Shane, staring him directly
in his eyes.
                                                            
Rain finishes the rest of her wine in one gulp.
                                                            
                       RAIN
Sitting here eating these hard ass
rolls, and this dry ass steak.
Being attack by two pit bulls! How
dare you?
                                                            
                       GARY
      (lips shacking)
YOU'RE DRUNK! TWISTED!
                                                            
SMACK!
                                                            
Rain smacked him with such great power, smacking him out the
chair. She point her finger down towards Gary, fiercely.
                                                            
                       RAIN
Don't you ever in your natural,
black ass, white, Mexican, Chinese
life , come at me in that manner
again. You might not know who YOU
are. Why, are you Tyrone, John, or
Victor. Hell pick one! But I know
one thing.
