INT. JULIA’S HOUSE - KEVIN’S OFFICE - DAY Kevin is working. Julia knocks. She’s holding some sheets. JULIA I just want to put some stuff away? KEVIN You guys are my priority. Hey, maybe we can go on a date or something? KEVIN Sure. Hey, don’t worry. We’re just getting older. It’s just life. Kevin kisses her forehead and leaves. Julia opens the closet, puts the sheets away....then pulls down a photo album. We see pictures of beautiful 18 year old Julia in New York 1986. She’s dancing and laughing and smoking, always surrounded by dancers, mostly gorgeous guys. Julia looks wild and loose and... fun. Sure. I’m going for a run. Thanks for understanding about the show. JULIA She turns the page. Now we are looking at the same young men in wheelchairs and hospital beds. This is AIDS in the 80s and it is brutal. Tears come to Julia’s eyes. She shuts the album, pushing it aside. Then she looks at the picture of her and Kevin on his desk: They look perfect. She puts the heels of her hands to her eyes. Now she needs a tissue... She opens a drawer. There’s Kleenex... next to a gigantic BOTTLE OF LOTION. She looks at this, then at Kevin’s laptop on the desk. Then back to the lotion. Then back to the laptop. Then back to the lotion. What the fuck? She opens the computer, and looks at the internet history... There is no history. None. She closes the laptop. INT. REGGIE’S MANSION - EVENING ...Over a MUSIC MONTAGE: Little by little, Gabby and Reggie get better. We need an orchestra here! Maybe Hollywood Symphony’s cover of Phoenix’s LISTOMANIA. -- Gabby and Reggie practice in his living room. He steps on her foot. -- They waltz down his hallway, adding some moves now...
