190. Yogurt - Leslie

• FADE IN:


• INT. LIVING ROOM - DAY


• Shafts of afternoon light shine through the rooms large windows, giving the space a melancholy air.


• PATRICE sweeps in, tidying the already neat room in an attempt to stay busy.


• She pauses, then sits down on the couch and starts crying.


• The front door creaks open and ANDREW sticks his head in.


• ANDREW
• Patty?


• She looks up.


• ANDREW
• Patty.


• He walks over and sits next to her.


• PATTY
• I wasn't ready for her to go.


• ANDREW
• I know. None of us were. She was such an amazing woman.


• Patty stands and tries to bustle around the room.


• PATTY
• I got to spend time with her just before she died. If that hadn't happened, I'd be in terrible shape. Tony's going to be a wreck. He's off in Uganda this week. She says...said to tell you that you're a beautiful scoundrel and that you'd better miss her.


• Andrew throws back his head and laughs.


• ANDREW
• I already am.


• Patty starts crying again.


• Andrew pulls her into his arms and holds her until she catches her breath.


• PATTY
• Thanks for being here.


• Andrew leans over and peeks into the kitchen.


• ANDREW
• Darling, I'm just here for the yogurt, I just wanted to let you know before someone else told you. That's all I'm interested in.


• She smacks him, laughing and sniffling.


• ANDREW
• I'm not kidding, get me some yogurt, woman.


• He tries his best to keep a straight face.


• PATTY
• Thank you.


• He nods.


• ANDREW
• Of course.


• PATTY
• Now help me get the food set up before anyone else comes.


• She slips into the kitchen and Andrew follows her.


• ANDREW (VO)
• Yogurt!


• FADE TO BLACK.
