Hour 2
The Script
Breakeven
The story would start with a man kneeling by a bed. There are very dim colors, dark blues, grays and black. He has his hands like he is praying, it is raining outside. He gets up and slowly walks to the kitchen and grabs himself a glass from the cabinet. He turns to the sink and turns it on and puts the empty glass under it. He is looking out the window and shuts the water off. He takes a sip from the glass, turns and walks into the living room where the blinds are open and the TV is off.. He leans on the edge of the window and stairs outside while it rains. He takes another drink of his water and sits down in a chair. Then he is just sitting in a chair starring at a glass of water as if he is waiting for something to happen. The story jumps to a lady around 25 year’s old sitting at a table at a coffee shop with two friends. The first friend is blonde with blue eyes and a gray and blue coat. The other is a brunet with a brown coat. The lady has black hair and is laughing and smiling with her friends and then takes a sip of her coffee. All three get up and leave money on the table and walk out of the coffee shop and take a left down the street. They are in a very urban environment with many cars a taxi while surrounded by tall modern buildings. It jumps back to the man sitting in the chair and he gets a vision of him and this lady with the black, he is sitting in the same chair as she walks in the front door, he asks where she has been and she says it doesn’t matter, he gets a concerned look and puts his head down and she puts her coat on the coat hanger and walks into the hallway.
Then it jumps to a scene that shows him in a diner moving his scrambled eggs with a fork as he looks miserable. He looks up and sees the black haired girl walking past the diner crossing arms with a man. She is happy and content and she puts her head on the man’s shoulder as she goes out of his vision. Then he is lying in bed looking out into the rain with a sad look on his face and then he looks at the clock and its 2:30 in the morning and he turns and grabs his hair and pulls his hands down his face. Then she is in another bed sleeping with a little smile on her face. It goes back to the main guy and he is sitting at the end of his bed staring into the closet with part of the carpet pushed down from a suitcase. He looks up into the light on the ceiling and it goes to a flashback where he is standing by the entrance to the bedroom and she is putting clothes into the suitcase on the bed. She then closes the suitcase and walks between him and the door and he turns as she walks past. He yells please don’t go but she just keeps walking down the hall and turns towards the door and opens it. She turns and says, “I’m sorry.” And walks out the door and closes it behind her. He then crashes to the ground on his knees and buries his head in his hands, he mumbles, “What did I do? What did I do?”. He picks his head out of his hands and has tears running down his face as he hears a car pull away. He gets up and sits on the couch looking at a picture of the girl which is on the table next to the couch. His facial expressions shows he is in pain and that he feels lost. He lies down on the couch and stairs at the wall as it rains outside. A bolt of lightning flashes and the thunder comes soon after. The man gets up and slowly drags himself to the bedroom where he sits down and runs his hands through his hair from front to back. He slides into bed and pulls the comforter over his head and his face is still wet from the tears earlier. He then wakes up, looks at the ceiling if something is there and rolls over to see the far side of the bed. Nothing is there and one tear falls from his right eye. He steps out of bed and kneels next to the bed with his head in between his arms. He gets up and slowly makes his way to the kitchen where he grabs a glass from the counter and slowly fills it up with water. He takes a sip and slowly turns, he takes several steps into the living room. The blinds are down and the TV is off. He sits down in the chair and takes another sip of his water.
