4400 Ariana Jackson 2nd Rev Network Draft 1/19/21 4.
Shanice is puzzled, tries to explain to a petrified Andre -- SHANICE JUST HELICOPTERS. HELICOPTERS ! But he remains alarmed. As she tries to process this madness ... INT. CORKTOWN WINE BAR - NIGHT A bass beat thumps in a hip after-work spot. A local newscast plays on TV in the background with a banner: “POLICE RESPOND TO LARGE CROWD ON BELLE ISLE, POSSIBLE PROTEST.” JHARREL, 28, charming and easy-going, returns to a table with THREE BEERS, distributes to his co-workers, TATS and SMART ALEC - JHARREL This one’s on me, beautiful people. SMART ALEC Round three ? On a school night ?! JHARREL
Gotta celebrate our ‘friends’ over at Immigration Services finally granting asylum to the Ahmadous -- TATS Man, how long you been working that case? Four years? Five? SMART ALEC I think he was really trying to impress someone over at the bar -- Oh dang, is that Wanda over there? You finally come to your senses? JHARREL We’ve been broken up, okay? We’re friends now. I said hi. It’s fine! SMART ALEC (causing trouble) Hm. Who’s that she’s talking to? JHARREL Some guy from her office. George.
Jharrel winces as TATS scopes the bar, spots WANDA, 28, put- together and tough, drinking with a GROUP, including a HOT GUY. TATS
