House of the Apes #5–The Mysterious Disappearing Phone Bill
INT-LIVING ROOM-DAY A large house in Somerville, MA.
RED-HAIRED GIRL
Where’s the phone bill?
APE #1
Oh, I paid it.
RED-HAIRED GIRL
You paid the phone bill already?
APE #1
Yeah.
RED-HAIRED GIRL
Well how much do I owe you?
APE #1
Oh, don’t worry about it.
RED-HAIRED GIRL
What? No come on, how much do I owe?
APE #1
No don’t worry about it, I got it.
RED-HAIRED GIRL
(Puzzled frown) If you say so…
INT-KITCHEN-NEXT MORNING
APE #2
Hey did you hear about the phone bill?
RED-HAIRED GIRL
Just that Ape #1 said he paid it.
APE #2
(Laughing) He logged on to some Brazilian porn site that billed your phone bill, and the bill was like $300.
RED-HAIRED GIRL
$300? What’s so special about Brazilian porn? Isn’t there plenty of free porn on the web?
APE #2
I guess he has expensive taste.
Fade to black.
