Out There - Monday, February 12, 2007 [[Living room. Wally in chair, Rebecca on couch reading.]] / Wally: .226. / Rebecca: What? / Wally: My batting average for the year. .226. / Rebecca: Oh, right. Sorry I asked. / Wally: Worst slump of my career. Guess I'm getting old. / Rebecca: No, you're not. Physically, you're in great shape. / Wally:...
Out There - Tuesday, February 13, 2007 [[Wally on chair, Rebecca on couch.]] / Wally: I'm not sure how to say this. / Rebecca: Give it your best shot. / Wally: I keep thinking about Miriam. / Rebecca: Ohh... / [[They sit facing away from each other.]] / Wally: I shouldn't have said anything. / Rebecca: No, I'm glad you did. / Rebecca: Can...
Out There - Wednesday, February 14, 2007 Wally: Why did Miriam come to the park that day? / Rebecca: I told you what she said... to let you know she still thinks about you. / Wally: Do you that that was really it? / Rebecca: Seems like it was... I offered her a chance to see you and she turned it down. / [[They are sitting in separate chairs,...
Out There - Thursday, February 15, 2007 Rebecca: Wally, what's going on? Why are you thinking about Miriam? / Wally: Well, I'm not pining away for her, if that's what you're worried about. / Wally: I think I feel like I've... I dunno... like I've WRONGED her somehow. I guess I feel guilty. I'm not sure I understand it myself. / Rebecca:...
Out There - Friday, February 16, 2007 Wally: Rebecca, you're confusing me. Whose side are you on? / Rebecca: I'm ALWAYS on YOUR side, darling. / Rebecca: But being on your side doesn't mean I can't be objective. If I were in Miriam's position, I'd feel betrayed. / Rebecca: I realize I probably pressured you into severing contact with her,...
 
Out There - Saturday, February 17, 2007 Rebecca: You know what they say, Wally... confession is good for the soul. YOUR problem is that the person you need to confess to isn't around to hear your confession. / Rebecca: My advice to you is to try and put it out of your mind. If you ever get the opportunity to talk to Miriam, you should do...
Out There - Monday, February 19, 2007 [[Miriam and Sherry are drinking coffee.]] / Miriam: You want me to work today? / Sherry: Not as much as I want you to work tonight. / Miriam: Why, do you have a date or something? / Sherry: Yeah, right. No, it's part of my master plan. / Sherry: I want to get you established as my night-time girl. Once...
Out There - Tuesday, February 20, 2007 Miriam: Only one problem with me working every night. When will I have time to see Chuck? / Sherry: You don't have to work EVERY night. / Sherry: But could you at least work Friday and Saturday nights and maybe two other nights of your choice? / Miriam: Friday AND Saturday? / Sherry: Miriam, I need you...
Out There - Wednesday, February 21, 2007 Miriam: Somehow in my mind I pictured your bar in some thriving urban hotspot. Then I pictured me making an insane amount of tips. / Sherry: Well, I hope I never said anything to give you that impression. I DO think things will pick up eventually. / Sherry: And you never know where the next hotspot...
Out There - Thursday, February 22, 2007 [[Miriam and Sherry at breakfast table; John walks up.]] / Miriam: You're back early. / John: I got a job. I start tomorrow. / Sherry: Wow, that was quick. Where are you working? / John: In a warehouse. It's less that a mile from here. I can walk to it. / John: It doesn't pay a lot, but I don't need a...
 
Out There - Friday, February 23, 2007 Sherry: Well, I'm off to the coal mine. / Miriam: I might as well go with you. / Sherry: Miriam, I need you to work TONIGHT. I don't need you today. / Miriam: Can't I just go and hang out with you? / Sherry: Well, sure... of course you can. But I don't want you WORKING. / Miriam: What difference does...
Out There - Saturday, February 24, 2007 [[At the bar.]] / Miriam: Do any of your customers ever hit on you? / Sherry: Oh, once in awhile I guess. Why? / Miriam: Just wondering. Do you ever go out with them? / Sherry: Oh, good God, no. / Sherry: When would I go out with them? I'm HERE every night. Besides, I'm focused on BUSINESS right now,...
Out There - Monday, February 26, 2007 [[At the bar.]] / Sherry: Not that it's any of my business, but I'm a little curious about the John situation... / Miriam: What about? / Sherry: Well, I'm just wondering why he's HERE. You said he wasn't even planning on coming here, now he's staying in my house, and he's gotten a job... / Miriam: So? / Sherry:...
Out There - Tuesday, February 27, 2007 Miriam: I thought I already explained all this to you, Sherry. Yeah, I like John, and yeah, I'm sort of attracted to him. / Miriam: But none of that makes any difference now! I'm focused on Chuck, and that's that! John isn't a part of the picture at all! / Sherry: Okay, but what about HIS motivation?...
Out There - Wednesday, February 28, 2007 [[Miriam is sipping a drink, her eyes closed as Sherry talks to her.]] / Sherry: Okay, I'm gonna butt out of your personal life because it's none of my business. But I have a right to know a few things about John if he's going to be living in my house. / [[Miriam has stopped drinking and she looks bored.]] / Miriam:...
 
Out There - Thursday, March 1, 2007 [[Miriam turns to Clayton, both she and he appear to be holding drinks. Clayton's eyes are rolled upward.]] / Miriam: Hey CLayton, maybe you can help us settle something. Sherry thinks John has the hots for me. What do you think? / Clayton: How the hell would I know? / Miriam: Well, you saw us together...
Out There - Friday, March 2, 2007 [[Now Sherry has propped her elbow up on the bar and Clayton is looking in Sherry's direction.]] / Clayton: Sherry, your apparent coldness towards me only serves to inflame my desires. But I don't need to tell you that since it's your whole game anyway. / [[Sherry looks surprised.]] / Sherry: Clayton,...
Out There - Saturday, March 3, 2007 [[Miriam leans toward Clayton, who looks bored.]] / Miriam: John got a job in a warehouse today, Clayton. I wonder if it's the same one you work at. / Clayton: There are a lot of warehouses around here. / [[Miriam's drink is half finished on the bar. Clayton is still holding his. There is a bowl of pretzels...
Out There - Monday, March 5, 2007 Sherry: I'm outta here. Ready for sentry duty? / Miriam: I was born ready. So what are your plans for tonight? / Sherry: I dunno. Maybe I'll see if John wants to have dinner. I should probably get to know him since he lives with me. / Miriam: You're gonna ask John out on a date? / Sherry: No,...
Out There - Tuesday, March 6, 2007 [[At the bar]] / Miriam: Thanks for coming to see me tonight, Chuck. / Chuck: No need to thank me. I WANT to see you. / Miriam: So you don't mind that I have to work most nights? / Chuck: How can I mind? You've got to make a living, Miriam. / Miriam: Not necessarily. If you get a fat raise, I can quit...
 
Out There - Wednesday, March 7, 2007 [[Sherry's living room: Sherry and John eating Chinese food.]] / Sherry: John, I hope you don't mind me asking this, but what exactly are you doing here? / John: What do you mean? / Sherry: I just find it a little curious. Are you here because of Miriam? / John: Yeah, you could say that. / Sherry: You...
Out There - Thursday, March 8, 2007 Sherry: Why did you leave wherever it was you were living? / John: It was time. / John: I set out to find new people to help. I set out to find a place where I could do some GOOD. / Sherry: Which you're accomplishing by working in a warehouse? / John: A person need not be defined by their occupation,...
Out There - Friday, March 9, 2007 Sherry: John, I'll admit you SEEM like a good guy. But you also seem too good to be true. / Sherry: And I'm slightly overwhelmed by the prospect of both you AND Miriam living with me. I was prepared for Miriam, but you were kinda sprung on me at the last minute, you know? / John: Well, I understand...
Out There - Saturday, March 10, 2007 [[At the bar. Miriam opposite Chuck, Clayton a bit farther down the bar.]] / Miriam: You should probably be getting home soon, huh? / Chuck: Yeah, probably. Unless you'd like me to stay. / Miriam: Well, yeah, of course I'd like you to stay. But I know you have to work tomorrow. I understand if you want...
Out There - Monday, March 12, 2007 [[Miriam and Clayton at the bar.]] / Miriam: So, what if Sherry and John end up together? That would be kind of weird, huh? / Miriam: If anything, I should be happy for them, but for some reason I'm not. I don't know if it's jealousy or what, but for some reason I don't like it. / Miriam: It makes no...
 
Out There - Tuesday, March 13, 2007 [[Miriam and Clayton at the bar.]] / Miriam: Actually, it would be great if Sherry and John hit it off. Sherry's my best friend. I'd love to see her happy with someone. / Miriam: And John deserves to be happy too. But it's going to be weird. Especially with all of us living under one roof. / Miriam:...
Out There - Wednesday, March 14, 2007 [[Miriam at Sherry's door.]] / Miriam: (Jealousy is such a stupid emotion.) / Miriam: (Why should I care if John and Sherry get together? I'm with Chuck. And I'm with Chuck because I WANT to be with Chuck.) / Miriam: (Not that we're really together in any OFFICIAL sense. We haven't even been on a DATE...
Out There - Thursday, March 15, 2007 [[Sherry's apartment. John lying down on the couch; Miriam enters.]] / Miriam: Hi John! Sorry, did I wake you? / John: Yeah, it's okay. / Miriam: Where's Sherry? / John: I dunno, in her room? Where else would she be? / Miriam: Did you guys have a good time at dinner? / John: Yeah, but I gotta get back...
Out There - Friday, March 16, 2007 [[Sherry's apartment. Sherry drinking coffee. Miriam looks half awake.]] / Sherry: It's about time you're up. I was going to wake you but let you sleep because I want you to work for me today. / Sherry: I'm working on a schedule for us... something that will hopefully give you enough hours to survive...
Out There - Saturday, March 17, 2007 {{Strip in green and white.}} / [[Sherry's table.]] / Miriam: So, did you have fun last night? What do you think of John? / Sherry: Well, he seems like a good guy, just like you said.
