44.
-- Reggie does his moves by himself while Gabby sits on the floor, her back to the wall, bossing him around while she cracks open a La Croix. The music CONTINUES as we check in on other characters... INT. STRIP CLUB - SAME TIME A bunch of men look bewildered as they watch Raven do a waltz onstage, adding in a bend at the waist at the end just to keep the tips coming...
INT. PAULA’S BACKYARD - SAME TIME Paula, our tap dancer, practices in her back yard.
EXT. THE STREET - SAME TIME Tamara, our arsonist, dances down a busy sidewalk. A man bumps into her. It’s not his fault but she SHOVES him anyway.
INT. GROCERY STORE - SAME TIME Justin waltzes down the cereal aisle, grabbing Cheerios....
INT. BAR - SAME TIME Mike is NOT PRACTICING. He’s getting drunk, downing a shot of whiskey, puts the glass next to three other empty glasses.... THE MONTAGE comes back to Gabby and Reggie... EXT. REGGIE’S ROOF - SUNSET The CAMERA SWEEPS ACROSS the roof, a stunning view of the city beyond them as Gabby and Reggie WALTZ, using all the space, adding moves as they go. They’re great! It’s BIG and ROMANTIC and GORGEOUS. Gabby and Reggie pause at the edge of the roof, out of breath, hands on knees, smiles on their faces they don’t even know about because they’re having so much fun. Also? The sunset’s doing really nice things for their skin. After a second, Gabby punches Reggie’s shoulder, raises her eyebrow in a challenge: You ready to go again? He gives her a cocky look: fuck yeah, he is . They start again....
