SCENE 1
SKYE has just parked a shiny ’57 Chevy across from the entrance of the GREATER MUNICIPAL INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, a few spaces down from RON’s worn pickup truck. RON is sitting on a bench alone outside the airport. Except for the two of them, the airport is empty. SKYE gets out of the car, walks up to RON, and sits down. RON nods.
A period of silence.
RON
Are you happy?
SKYE
I always envied ’57 Chevy owners. And now I am one.
RON
Where’d you get it?
SKYE
Classic Cars dot com.
RON
Must have cost a bundle.
SKYE
A bundle. Like a lot of things….
RON
What, for example?
SKYE
Like, I’m sorry, Ron.
RON
About what? About things you can’t buy?
SKYE
Like, I’m sorry.
For what I did.
Aside from this Chevy life doesn’t feel much like I’m in the driver’s seat right now.
Like it’s moving on without me, and doesn’t care.
RON
Like what happened to me after Paul.
SKYE
Paul?
RON
Paul, who you were screwing while you were my lover? Remember him?
SKYE
Oh.
RON
Seen him lately, Skye?
SKYE
No.
RON
I wouldn’t think so…. Know why?
SKYE
Why?
RON
I’ll tell you why.
I tracked him down. At a gym.
Showed him enough to get him interested.
To get him home with me.
Caught him off guard, and beat the living shit outta the drastic son-of-a-bitch.
Told him if he ever saw you again, he’d be dog food.
