INT. ATLANTIC HOTEL - HALLWAY - MOMENTS LATER
Maggie walks towards Ikes room, checks that no one sees her and
enters.
INT. IKES HOTEL ROOM - TINUOUS
Maggie lets herself in the modest room and turns on the lights
on. She spots on audio cassette on the desk he door. She
holds the cassette up to the light to read the hand-written
label. It says "Miles Davis" on it. She pockets the tape. She
walks to the living room.
MAGGIES POV:
Ike has placed post-its on a framed picture, using the frame as a
bulletin board. Post-it notes lay out the information he has
gathered under headings and subheadings. Parents "Mother"
deceased, subheaded by "Walter" and there is one for "Brian",
"Gill", and "Bob". Maggie smiles and shakes her head. She rips
one post-it down and reads it to herself.
MAGGIE
(reads)
"How does she get all these guys to
propose? Shes not that beautiful."
(snorts)
Bite me, paper boy.
She begins ripping many of other post-it off the picture frame.
MAGGIE (td)
(as she takes post-its)
Rude...
Shes ripping them down, fast and furious, then shoves them in
her shoulder bag.
INT. ATLANTIC HOTEL HALLWAY - TINUING
Ike es down hallway as Harvey puts his shoes out to be shined.
BASIDE THE ROOM
Maggie, looking around, discovers the wedding video on the
coffee table and grabs that, too.
MAGGIE (td)
Thief!
THE SOUND OF A KEY IN THE DOOR makes Maggie jump. She flees to
the bathroom, and shuts and locks the door. Just as Ike enters,
he sniffs and looks around the room, instantly knowing something
is up. He sees all his notes gone and a glimpse of Maggie as she
closes the bathroom door. Ike is steaming. A BUMP sounds from
the bathroom. He goes over to the door and tries the handle.
Its locked. He starts to pound on the door.
IKE
All right, I know youre in there...
You steal my research... Youre messing
with the first ame now. Open up.
Open up. You got no place to go.
INT. IKES HOTEL BATHROOM - TINUING
Ikes wrong. Maggie is already trying to open the first
bathroom window. Its stuck. She climbs over the bathtub,
opens that window and starts to climb out.
IKE
I want to have a very serious discussion
with you as to why youre such a pain in
the ass.
We HEAR Ike slamming his body against the bathroom door.
As Ike breaks in, he runs to the window and yells after her.
EXT. IKES HOTEL WINDOW - TINUOUS
IKE (td)
Thats breaking aering. Ill call
the sheriff.
MAGGIE
You do that. And remind him hes
bringing the wio the luau. Thanks.
She disappears around the ledge of the building and runs off.
Ikes neighbor, Harvey, sits reading near his window.
CUT TO:
EXT. MAGGIES HOUSE - NIGHT
Establishing.
INT. MAGGIES HOUSE - NIGHT
CLOSE ON: A CASSETTE PLAYER. We see the familiar handwritten
label: "Miles Davis." "Kind of Blue" plays as Maggie listens in
a chair, looking shell-shocked, surrounded by the post-its she
stole from Ikes room. We see as she reads them: "Father, two-
fisted drinker," "Peggy, best friend, but Peggy doesnt totally
trust Maggie," "Bob" -- doesnt love him. Overwhelmed, she
finishes reading the last note,
