House of Apes #6
Sorry for the delay, boys and girls…here’s the latest, many more to come…
INT-NIGHT Living room of a large house in Somerville, Mass. A red-haired girl and an ape are sitting on opposite couches, watching a movie. The ape has a laptop in his lap.
APE
(Not looking away from his computer screen) What’s “Metro Entertainment”?
RED-HAIRED GIRL
I don’t know. Why?
APE
It’s on my credit card bill. Five dollar charge to Metro Entertainment.
RED-HAIRED GIRL
Sounds like a phone sex charge.
APE
(chuckling) No, those things are like $5 a minute.
RED-HAIRED GIRL
Maybe it was a quick call.
APE
(looking up from his screen) What are you trying to say?
Fade to black.
