230. Little White Shoes - Leslie

• FADE IN:


• INT. HOTEL ROOM - NIGHT


• A PAIR OF WHITE SOCKS lies neatly on the wooden floor of the hotel room.


• Further up, BALLED UP BLACK SOCKS hit the floor by the bed skirt.


• The sound of water lapping at sand quietly fills the room.


• Further along the bed skirt TWO PAIRS OF SHOES, a pair of white ballet shoes with delicate stitching and tiny white roses and spit-shined black dress shoes, rest side by side.


• JEREMY sits cross-legged on the bed, his tux jacket draped neatly across a chair, his bow tie loose around his neck.


• ALLISON sits across from him, her wedding dress puff out around her.


• They sit, looking at each other, Allison with a goofy grin growing across her face, Jeremy serious.


• A smile pinches at his lips.


• JEREMY
• So, you glad we waited?


• ALLISON
• You think it'll be awkward?


• JEREMY
• Oh, it'll be incredibly awkward.


• ALLISON
• Shame...I was just in this for your body and your unbelievable sexual prowess.


• JEREMY
• It's true, I led you on.


• ALLISON
• I knew it! I'll be leaving now. Don't you dare call me.


• She turns, as if to go and they both burst out laughing.


• ALLISON
• Yeah, I am. I wasn't sure at first...you and your bright ideas. But I'm glad we stuck it out. This may not be the best ever, but it'll be special, unique. Maybe I should stop using shortbus synonyms.


• JEREMY
• Maybe. Thanks for respecting my boundaries.


• ALLISON
• You need to be shutting up right about now...there are boundaries I'm ready to start disrespecting.


• JEREMY
• Turn around.


• Allison scoots around on the bed.


• ALLISON
• I'm kind of giddy.


• JEREMY
• As long as you're more giddy when we're doing the same thing 90 years from now.


• ALLISON
• Oh, I like how you think.


• JEREMY
• Mmm, so it wasn't just for my body...


• ALLISON
• Darling...


• JEREMY
• I didn't actually believe I'd find you.


• She leans back at puts her head on his shoulder and he begins unlacing the corset top of her wedding dress.


• She reaches behind herself and finds his hands, then pulls his arms around her stomach.


• And they sit, two lovers at the edge of diving.


• EXT. HOTEL ROOM - NIGHT


• The hotel is modeled like a Swiss chalet, perched high in the Rockies.


• Allison and Jeremy are visible through their window as he keep an arm around her and gently continues to unlace her.


• FADE TO BLACK.
