Editing Door script

:''AUDREY is riding her bike. If not happy, she at least looks content. It's sunny, she's taking the ride in a casual way, but at a fair speed. She pushes herself up a hill and then begins to go down the other side. Getting up speed, she looks away from where she's going.''

:''Sebastian takes out his cell phone and calls 9-1-1.''

:''Sebastian is helping Audrey out of his car and into her apartment.''

I can't believe you doored me.

:''Audrey looks at Sebastian quite seriously''

And I thought suits didn't open their precious car doors without  

And I said you were a motherfucker!

:''Sebastian helps Audrey get herself down on the couch. He leaves the apartment and rushes back in with her crutches. While he's gone, she makes the face typical of a drunk person trying to remember what they just did. When he comes back, she looks at him.''

Yep.

I'd say I'm sorry, but I'm not.

Yeah, you already said that too. Look, I have to go places and do stuff.

:''As he leaves, Audrey sticks her tongue out at his back.''

:'''Audrey pauses.'''

:''Sebastian is knocking on the door to Audrey's apartment. She hobbles (hops?) over to the door and opens it. He is no longer wearing his suit. In fact, it's a different day all together. ''

:''Audrey looks at Sebastian critically. She then smiles brightly.''

:''Audrey pulls out her cell phone and makes a call.''

:''Audrey and Sebastian walk to Sprout.''

:''Sebastian pauses.''

:''They arrive at Sprout. Someone is there with the xtracycle. It looks a little beat up. Technically, it's barely rideable.''

:''The person who had had the xtracycle walks away counting something like two hundred dollars in cash. Sebastian is staring at the bike somewhat horrified. Audrey is looking it over and making comments on it. The crankset ought to be replaced because the broken pedal doesn't come off. The brake pads are a little weak. The tires probably need to be replaced. The wheels are off true.''

Anyone with taste.

It's huge!

It's fine. Now, I'll see you in the morning.

:''Sebastian shows up at Audrey's apartment, parking outside. He locks the xtracycle up. Audrey is waiting outside. He helps her get onto the back of the bike. He drives off, obviously having trouble pulling her. He brakes at a light and the back brake line snaps.''

:''Sebastian starts biking again. He starts slowly. Audrey rolls her eyes.''

:''Audrey and Sebastian are changing the brake line on the bike. Having looked at both, they decided to change both, since the front one looks as though it may snap as well at some point.''

:''Sebastian sighs.''

:''Audrey hands him a socket wrench.''

:''Audrey begins to poke Sebastian in the side with one of her crutches.''

:''Audrey starts to crack up.''

:''Audrey is standing around waiting for Sebastian. She's holding a package (brown bag, bag, pick one). Sebastian pulls up and she gives it to him''

:''Sebastian takes the package and opens it.''

:''He tears off a chunk and bites into it.''

:''While chewing, Sebastian helps her onto the bike.''

:''Audrey reaches and attempts to wack Sebastian on the helmet. She misses. He laughs. He makes his way up a hill. He's struggling.''

What's wrong?

The uhh left pedal is smaller than the right one.

I tried, but the pedal wouldn't come off.

:''Audrey sighs.''

Can we also do something about the chain? It seems too long.

==Scene 8==

:''Sebastian and Audrey are working on his bike. It's almost finished. Sebastian is leaning over the bike, doing something. Audrey is watching critically. Sebastian is looking at the chain and it's not closed and too long.''

:''Sebastian cuts two links off the chain and tries to pull the ends together. It's about the right length. He looks at the key link.''

:''Audrey maneuvers herself over to Sebastian and shows him how to do it. He watches her and nods.''

Now try to take off the pedal again.  

 

 

Well, let's replace the crankset.  

:''Sebastian makes a minor adjustment or two. Sebastian looks up at her and smiles.''

:''Sebastian takes the bike outside and leaves the driveway. Audrey watches him''

:''Audrey is hobbling out of her place of employ. Sebastian's there, outside, on the xtracycle. He's beaming.''

:''Sebastian and Audrey hi5.''

:''Sebastian helps Audrey onto the back of the xtracycle. While he's helping her, he talks.''

:''Sebastian bikes off. Now, he goes easily with Audrey on the back.''

:''Audrey and Sebastian are sitting next to eachother eating ice cream. They're getting along. Audrey and Sebastian talk trash about other people's bikes.''

:''I think maybe I should just delete this.''

:''Sebastian knocks on the door to Audrey's apartment. He's carrying a garment bag over his arm shoulder and his bike as well. Audrey opens the door. She's already in her pajamas.''

But I want my bike around. I don't want to have to take the bus.

:''Audrey sighs and shakes her head. She turns around and reenters the apartment, motioning for Sebastian to follow. She talks to herself''

:''Sebastian is wearing his suit. His tie matches. Or is ugly. One or the other. It's not just “okay,” it's either great or awful.''

:''Sebastian does so.''

:''Sebastian takes off his coat.''

:''Audrey puts his helmet on his head. Once she's close enough, she tucks his tie into his shirt herself.''

:''Audrey and Sebastian stand there awkwardly, still just as close. I can write flowery text to express complex emotion here. Slightly before he moves, Audrey kisses him. It's rushed and sudden. I'm trying to think of an analogy to a film. I don't want it to be sweet and loving, but heavy and full of need. They sink to the ground, out of the image of the shot. The two bikes--Audrey's and Sebastian's--are leaning near eachother. One bike leans more and falls into the other. Audrey or Sebastian--implications? I think Audrey would make more sense--just because she has a broken leg--reaches up and we see their hand grip the frame of the bike. Alternatively, we can not have this happen and have an awkward good bye.''

:''Sebastian pulls up and stops. Audrey's been holding the garment bag. Sebastian's wearing the clothes he was last night. He gets off his bike and tries to help her off. As they touch, they both apologize too often, move awkwardly around one another, and try not to be too involved. Their goodbye is muddled and covered with multiple levels of see you laters. Sebastian takes off rather quickly. Audrey, herself not sure what happened or what it means, looks uncomfortable.''

:''Sebastian walks outside of a restaurant or bar--somewhere--with a friend of his. Let's call him Mike. Mike's a generic kind of general name. Outside is parked the car that had been Sebastian's. Sebastian is holding his helmet.''

:''Sebastian looks at the car for a moment. There's a pause, but no longing or nostalia associated with what had been his life before. He holds up his helmet.''

:''Mike shrugs and unlocks the car.''

:''Mike gets in and Sebastian goes to unlock his bike.''

 

:''Audrey is cast free. Her bike is there and she's holding it a little farther away from her than she should be to get on it. Sebastian is standing there. He's trying hard not to look impatient.''

:''Audrey is standing on the side of the bike that the broken leg was on. She tries to balance herself on the recently broken leg to get on her bike. She wobbles and the bike doesn't provide enough balance and it too wobbles. She and the bike fall down in a heap. Sebastian offers her a hand, but she shakes her head and gets up quickly on her own. Sebastian picks the bike back up.''

:''Audrey gets on the bike with Sebastian supporting it.''

:''Sebastian lets go and Audrey begins to pedal slowly on her own.''
