OUT OF TOUCH

INT: HUDSON VINEYARDS MAIN HOUSE-A.M.

SANDY STARING AT I-PHONE, SHAKING HER HEAD, WONDERING WHY BRIAN HASN'T CALLED STARTS VERBALLY TALKING TO PHONE AS IT SITS ON TABLE

SANDY

"What is wrong with you, are you working, did I pay your bill, what?"

SHE FINALLY PICKS UP PHONE AND DIALS BRIAN'S NUMBER

RECORDED MESSAGE COMES ON

PHONE SERVICE

"I am sorry, the party you attempted to call is currently out of service or out of the service area, please try again at another time or check your number and dial again, eight-one eight, A,T, & T!"

SHE PUTS PHONE DOWN, THEN SUDDENLY PHONE SHOWS A TEXT MESSAGE

TEXT MESSAGE

"Sorry I haven't called you this morning, but I dropped my phone, on temp, call me back, Brian."

SHE PUSHES REPLY AND PHONES BACK

BRIAN

"Yea girl...everything's good, how are you doing?"

SANDY

"Well, everything's better now, how's your morning going?"

BRIAN

"It could be better, but then it could be worse...I don't know, you feel like messing with the grapes?"

SANDY

"Like to mess with your grapes, but whatever your into...you coming by?"

BRIAN

"Yea. got a new hire...need to clear him in, probably be over about two or so...is that good?"

SANDY

"I'll be right here if you need me, right where you left me!"

BRIAN

"See ya at two, bye!"

12 Hours Later

EXT: HUDSON VINEYARDS-11 P.M.

SHOWING SANDY ROLLING TRASH BINS TO FRONT GATE. 

LOOKING CONCERNED, SHE WALKS BACK INTO HOUSE

WALKS TOWARD MASTER BEDROOM CLOSET

STARTS LOOKING THROUGH FRANK'S OLD GUN COLLECTION

SEE'S A DOUBLE-BARRELED SHOTGUN SITTING IN CORNER, PICKS IT UP AND CHECKS CHAMBER

SEE'S THAT IT IS EMPTY, FUMBLES THROUGH DRAWER AND FINDS TWO SHELLS LABELED 00-BUCK SHOT, LOADS UP GUN AND PROCEEDS TO JUST SIT AND STARE AT PHONE, TALKING TO HERSELF OVER GLASS OF WINE

SANDY

"Where in the hell are you Brian...call me you bastard!"

SUDDENLY PHONE GOES OFF, SHE JUMPS TO ANSWER

SANDY

"Hello, hello...who's this?'

BRIAN

"It's me, look I'm really sorry but this rental phone died on it's charge, and the charger they gave me didn't work, it was just fucked from the start, we got bogged down here at the restaurant, I really really apologize for not checking in, okay?"

SANDY

"I figured it was something like that, don't worry, that's okay, I've just been chilling, but you know...I've been feeling weird all day, for some reason, can't quite put my finger on it, but it's weird, you know?"

BRIAN

"Maybe it's the spirit of Frank paying you a visit, shit like that has been known to happen?"

SANDY

"I hope he's not pissed with me or anything?"

BRIAN

Who knows...but I'm really dragging over here, I gotta get some sleep, I wouldn't be much fun anyway, even if I did come over, is it okay if we just start over tomorrow?

SANDY

"You know, that might be the best idea I've heard all day...goodnight Brian."

BRIAN

"Thanks for being a trooper...goodnight."
