INT. MARCUS’ APARTMENT - NIGHT
51
Marcus opens the door for Mandy to enter. She sets her bag down. Marcus gives her a big hug. MARCUS I made us dinner. Mandy enters into the apartment and sees an elaborate dinner arrangement with candles and a bottle of wine on the table. MANDY Marcus, you didn’t have to do all this. It’s just enough you’re letting me use your couch until I feel it’s safe to go back. MARCUS Don’t worry about it. I want you to feel at home while you’re here. Marcus breaks off from her and heads into the kitchen. MARCUS (O.S.) I hope you like lamb. Oh, so hey did you get the cheque? Mandy sets her things down by the couch. MANDY Lamb is fine. Yes, I got the cheque, and ended up buying a whole bunch of groceries which are now sitting in my empty apartment not being eaten. (beat) By the way how did you know where to send it? I don’t think I ever gave you my address. Marcus enters back into the living room with a bottle of wine he’s about to crack open. MARCUS Really? I’m pretty sure you gave it to me. MANDY No, I’m pretty sure I didn’t. I’d remember. A girl alone in the big city is careful who she tells that to.
