#Carrensdale




  Scene One

Julia: 

[Sighs] 

We have no choice but to leave Carrensdale as soon as possible.


Celeste: 

[Stands] 

Are you insane? There has to be another solution. I can’t let you keep running from this lunatic. 

[Pauses for a few seconds] 

Besides, Flora will refuse to leave. She’ll demand to know the truth. You know that girl.


Julia: 

Can we hire someone to find out who it is?


Celeste: 

I’ll see what I can do.


Julia: 

What do you mean by that?


Celeste: 

I mean, I might know one or two people that could help out. Just trust me.


Julia: 

I’ve trusted you before Celeste. I’m not going down that road again.




Scene Two

[The Next Morning at The Roosevelt Mansion]

[Sarah & Kelly are chatting in Sarah’s room]


Sarah: 

He said all these nice things about her. I’m beginning to think that he might really be into her.


Kelly: 

But your dad would never approve, right? Right?


Sarah: 

Yea. I mean, you are the perfect girl for Jake. I’m sure it’s a phase – the exploratory phase. And it’s not like they are getting married or anything like that.


Kelly: 

I know what you’re trying to do. Thanks but I think I should probably be more present.


Sarah: 

Well, the party I’m throwing tomorrow is gonna be lit.


Kelly: 

Oh yeah. I think I am now more excited than you are.


Sarah: 

You should be, because you are going to seal the deal.


Kelly: 

Umm what do you mean by seal the deal?


Sarah: 

[Smiles

You are going to sleep with Jake. 

[Hugs Kelly excitedly]




Scene Three

[Scene opens at Donald's Coffee Shop, Flora enters the shop and heads to the counter where Wendy is working]


Wendy: 

Hey Flora!


Flora: 

Hi Wendy.


Wendy: 

How was it?


Flora: 

Well, it went well. She said I just need constant monitoring.


Wendy: 

Oh great. Thank God. How is your mom, by the way?


Flora: 

She’s fine. 

[Grabs her apron, wears it]


Wendy: 

Flora, have you talked to her?


Flora: 

Can we not talk about that right now. We could talk about how amazing of a psychiatrist my Aunt Celeste is. I don’t know whether I feel that way because she is a relative and not some random doc at the local clinic - by the way.


Wendy: 

Oooooooor how we just scored an invite to Sarah Roosevelt’s party.


Flora: 

[Grabs her phone

What? This must be some kind of joke. That girl loathes me.


Wendy: 

Don’t be silly, it’ll be fun. And I’m sure Jake will be expecting you.


Flora: 

I think I’m gonna pass. I really need to catch up on a lot of things…


Wendy: 

Including that talk with your mom?


Flora:

Maybe. I also don’t wanna draw much attention to myself at the moment. 

[Places her hand on Wendy’s shoulder] 

You’ll be fine without me, right?


Wendy: 

I hope. 

[They both continue organizing the coffee shop counter]




Scene Four

[Camry Residence. Celeste and Julia are in the kitchen]


Celeste: 

Well I'm glad you are going to try to take it easy.


Julia: 

It’s still the last time I am entrusting you with this Celeste. Your plan better do good this time.


Celeste: 

Oh, look at the time. 

[Grabs her car keys

Wish me luck.


Julia: 

You’re gonna kill it.


Flora: 

[Enters the room, a few minutes later

Was that Aunt Celeste.


Julia: 

Yea, she has an important meeting today. That’s where she’s headed.


Flora: 

Great, coz I need to talk you mom.


Julia: 

Oh honey. 

[She takes a seat] 

Sit, sit. 

[Flora takes a seat. She then places her hands on Flora’s

I am so sorry for everything.


Flora: 

Mom, you don’t need to apologize. I had no right to lash out at you like that. You are the only thing that I…

[Julia interjects]


Julia: 

I think it’s time we talked about your father.




Scene Five

[Celeste arrives at Roger’s Office at Roosevelt Industries HQ]


Roger: 

Celeste Camry! 

[Directs Celeste to a seat]


Celeste: 

How are you Roger?


Roger: 

I’m better now that you are here.


Celeste: 

Oh stop it.


Roger: 

I am surprised that not a single European man thought of putting a ring on it.


Celeste: 

I am surprised you are familiar with the millennial’s lingo.


Roger: 

Yes, Beyonce is on my workout playlist if that’s what you are asking. 

[Smiles]


Celeste: 

[Laughs

Touche.


Roger: 

So umm,you said you needed to talk to me about a proposal?


Celeste: 

Yes actually. 

[Hands Roger a file]


Roger: 

Let’s see.




Scene Six

[Both Julia and Flora are seated on the kitchen seats]


Flora: 

Mom, I don’t hate you. He kinda sounds like a loony guy to me but that’s his problem. And I’ll always be here for you whenever you need me Mom.


Julia: 

I know sweetheart. You, you are my number one.  

[Smiles at Flora]


Flora: 

The church can go to hell. They are a bunch of hypocrites.


Julia: 

I think they were just disappointed in me. You know as the Minister’s wife, I had to keep up a moral standard.


Flora: 

Well, I never liked Christians anyway, especially your ex-congregants.


Julia:

[Laughs] 

People aren’t perfect.


Flora: 

Before you go all holier than thou on me, I just wanna say that, now that I am seeing a good doctor a.k.a. Aunt Celeste, I think I’ll be less of a dramatic personality around here.  


Julia: 

Oh please. You are perfect just the way you are. I am glad though that she is back in town. She’s the smarter one, so I’m hopeful she’ll find a way of making all of this go away.


Flora: 

If she can keep people sane, then she must be superwoman. 

[Julia takes a sip of her tea]   




Scene Seven

Celeste: 

I am glad you like it.


Roger: 

What’s not to like. I am huge supporter of the private health care system, and I’ve got the Mayor on speed dial, so expect a call sooner than later my friend. We are going to establish a health center like no other.


Celeste: 

You are the best Roger.


Kate: 

[Walks into Roger’s office] 

Yes he is. 

[Slowly places her handbag on top of Roger's desk]


Roger: 

Katherine, what are you doing here?


Kate: 

Just brought you something to munch. Hi I’m Kate. 

[Avoids shaking hands with Celeste] 


Roger: 

Uhm, this is my wife Katherine. 

[Celeste tries to further cover her cleavage

Katherine, this is Celeste, a soon to be business partner.


Kate: 

I’ve never seen you around town before Celeste.


Roger: 

She just got back from Europe. She was working there as a psychiatrist. Which is what she is Katherine. A psychiatrist. 


Kate: 

[Rolls her eyes

Oh. Nice to meet you, Celeste.


Celeste: 

Great meeting you too, Kate.


Kate: 

We are throwing our daughter a birthday party tomorrow night at our mansion and I’d love for you to come, Celeste.


Celeste: 

Oh, that would be great, Kate.


Roger: 

The mayor and many other key people in town will be there so please do join us.


Celeste: 

I’ll be there. 

[Speaks directly at Roger, then Kate] 

I should get going. See you around.

[Exits the office]


Roger: 

[Sighs

Please don’t do that again.


Kate: 

Oh, was she about to jump your bones? 

[Sits on the office couch]


Roger: 

Very funny. We were having a very important meeting Katherine. The one I told you about before I left home this morning.

[Emphases his point whilst taking a seat in his chair]


Kate: 

Dammit. I was this close to catching you cheating on me, why did I have to ruin it by not walking in a few minutes later.


Roger: 

Don't be such a drama queen. And good luck with those theories of yours Katherine; because I’m not cheating on you, period.

[Smirks at Kate]


Kate: 

And it should never happen. 

[Speaks whilst inspecting her nails; Roger gazes at Kate]
