4400 Ariana Jackson 2nd Rev Network Draft 1/19/21 30.
Jharrel’s unconvinced, but he tunes out as a COP comes to update them on logistics. He reads a text from Wanda: Anything on Manny? He frowns: Not yet. INT. MRS. GROVER'S HOUSE - GUEST ROOM - NIGHT Mrs. Grover sets down a glass of Vernors ginger ale and a plate of Nilla Wafers in front of a worn-down and sleep-deprived Shanice, who hangs up Mrs. Grover’s landline phone, panicky -- SHANICE I’ve called home, his office, his cell phone -- all disconnected. How am I going to track them down?! I couldn’t find your phone book -- MRS. GROVER City stopped putting those out years ago. Shanice looks like she’s going to lose it. Mrs. Grover covers Shanice’s hands with her own -- MRS. GROVER (CONT'D) But I wrote down the new address when he moved to Indian Village. SHANICE Indian Village? We always dreamed of living there... What’s the address? Can I borrow the Pontiac? Shanice tries to stand, but Mrs. Grover pulls her back down with surprising firmness for her age -- MRS. GROVER The car’s gone and there ain’t nothing more you’re gonna do before you get some sleep. SHANICE No, I have to -- MRS. GROVER
You’re dead on your feet. Rest up and go find your husband in the morning. A few hours aren’t gonna change anything now you’re back. (then, gentle) Glad to see you’re not too much like your daddy after all.
