Prolouge: The Next Thing You Know…

FRONT PORCH: NIGHT

SAMANTHA and KURT are seated next to one another on the loveseat. Their legs and arms intertwined. HOWEY and JOEL are standing with their backs against the wall. In between the wall and the loveseat is the front door. Everyone has a cigarette in their hand. There is also cigar forgotten in the ashtray still burning.

KURT
…So everything couldn’t happen for reasons.
(beat)
Wouldn’t shit just happen?

HOWEY AND JOEL exchange looks. JOEL finishes his cigarette and picks up the cigar.

HOWEY
Kind of like we just happen to forget about the blunt?

KURT
(flatly)
No one’s listening…

JOEL
Naw man, we heard ya. People always say “everything happens for a reason”

HOWEY
-And you’re saying that if everything is happening for reasons-

SAMANTHA
(like she’s heard it a million times)
Wouldn’t aaalll reason be lost? Wouldn’t things just happen.

KURT frowns and slowly nods. JOEL hands him the blunt. KURT sips his beer, and hands it to SAMANTHA who begins to drink it. He exhales loudly and stares aimless at the blunt as he rolls it back and forth in between his fingers. He inhales very slowly. SAMANTHA continues to drink the beer until it’s finished.
