      4 Carlin, F. (2011). ["Now that Americans have their dream homes, many are setting up substitute institutions in the living room--and taking on the roles of preacher, teacher, and boss. There are many reasons we're increasingly home-centric, among them an overarching sense that Americans, being Americans, want the freedom to educate and support themselves and their children in the way they see fit, not the way that supposed authority figures would have it. But a possible consequence is that all of this insular socializing puts even more pressure on families, cutting them off from the diversity and connectedness of the proverbial village."].

      INT. NIGHTCLUB - NIGHT

      (CLARISSA, EMILY)

      EMILY'S AT THE BAR. CLARISSA IS RIGHT BEHIND HER. THE CLUB IS CROWDED, THE NOISE DEAFENING AND ATMOSPHERE ELECTRIC. AND, IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE SPARKS FLY CLARISSA SIGNALS HER CHOICE OF LIQUID TO EMILY: SHE DRAWS A HALF SUN IN THE AIR WITH HER FOREFINGER. EMILY TURNS TO THE BARMAN.

      EMILY

      . . . and a Tequila Sunrise thanks.

      THE BARMAN PREPARES A TEQUILA SUNRISE. CLARISSA SCANS THE CLUB GROUND. SO DO WE. AS USUAL THERE EXISTS A STAGE, A DANCE FLOOR, A BAR AND AN ELEVATED EATING AREA. UNLIKE THE LAST CLUB THERE ARE MORE FEMALES THAN MALES HERE. THE LIGHTING IS DIM AND STROBES DOT AND DASH THE SKY CONTINUALLY LIKE EXCLAMATION POINTS THAT CAN'T BE IGNORED. THE CONTAGION OF EXCITEMENT DEFINITELY FILLS THE AIR.

      CLARISSA

      Yeah! I'm loving this place!

      EMILY TAKES THE TWO DRINKS FROM THE BAR. SHE HANDS ONE TO CLARISSA.

      EMILY

      Introductions!

      THE TWO MAKE THEIR WAY TOWARD THE CLOSEST TABLE.

      CLARISSA

      What?

      EMILY

      Introductions. Let's say we're in the public eye, and we're the stars of a new reality TV show. How do you introduce yourself? What do you say to the camera? Or to me? And what do I say? And what do we wear? What do we drink?

      CLARISSA

      You said "reality"?

      EMILY

      Yeah.

      CLARISSA

      Then the answers are already in our hands, on our bodies, and jumping from our lips.

      EMILY

      But it's the first time I've had this drink. I don't know if it's my favorite yet, or even if I like it.

      EMILY STARES AT THE GLASS. CLARISSA GLANCES AT HER WATCH.

      CLARISSA

      12 o'clock!

      EMILY

      He better be hot this time.

      CLARISSA

      Not a direction. It's 12 already. I got an early shift tomorrow.

      EMILY

      What time?

      CLARISSA

      9.

      EMILY

      Which gives us nine hours to drink, to wander over to the dance floor and to find a guy or two.

      CLARISSA PICKS UP HER PHONE. SHE STARES AT THE SCREEN. SHE SMILES.

      CLARISSA

      Wanna go to New York?

      EMILY

      What?

      CLARISSA READS ALOUD THE MESSAGE ON HER PHONE.

      CLARISSA

      Hi, my little angel. Just letting you know that I'll be in New York for the next three days. The flights are on me if you and Emily would like to visit. I miss you very much. We can spend some time together СКАЧАТЬ
