INT. FLYNN'S BEDROOM - NIGHT

Flynn lies in bed, tossing and turning. He opens his eyes. He can't fall asleep. He sits up and grabs his phone from the bedside table. Calls Jeff.

INT. JEFF'S BEDROOM – SPLITSCREEN – NIGHT

Jeff's playing WWE SmackDown! Here Comes the Pain with his ten-year-old sister Amelia. His room is  a mess.

JEFF

Yeah?

FLYNN

Hey. I need a favor.

JEFF

What is it?

FLYNN

I need a ride back to school.

Jeff checks his phone.

JEFF

It's 9pm.

FLYNN

There's this project I need to finish. I can't sleep.

JEFF

I'm in the middle of something. Have you called Ab?

FLYNN

No. We're not exactly speaking. Besides, I wouldn't even know how to contact him.

JEFF

Call Gwen.

FLYNN

His sister?

JEFF

Hold on.

Jeff puts Gwen on three-way.

INT. OCAMPA HOME/GWEN'S BEDROOM – SPLIT SCREEN

Gwen's putting on earrings, ready to head out. Her phone's on speaker.

GWEN

Hey, Jeff. What's up?

JEFF

Hey. Flynn wants to talk to you.

Flynn freezes up.

JEFF (CONT'D)

Flynn, that's your cue. I've gotta go.

AMELIA

Rock Bottom!

JEFF

How do you even know that?

He hangs up and disappears.

GWEN

Flynn? Are you still there?

JEFF

Yeah. Hi. Sorry. Is Abram home?

GWEN

Yeah. One sec.

INTERCUT- INT. ABRAM'S BEDROOM/ INT. FLYNN'S BEDROOM - NIGHT

Abram's sitting on the floor against the foot of his bed with his guitar. He's writing a song in his notebook. Gwen knocks twice. Enters.

GWEN

It's Flynn.

She tosses him her phone.

GWEN

Make it quick. I'm heading out.

She exits. Abram answers the phone.

ABRAM

Does this mean the Cold War's over?

FLYNN

I'm waving the white flag.

ABRAM

Let me guess. I'm your last resort.

FLYNN

I know I've said some hurtful things--

ABRAM

I'm on my way.
