BLACKNESS. SCREEN TEXT: FIVE DAYS EARLIER.
INT. MARK’S BEDROOM. MORNING. Mark lays, asleep, on a mattress on the floor. The walls are a gentle blue, and the room is outfitted for a baby. In the corner sits a crib. A woman’s bare foot slowly moves over Mark’s face. Wrinkling his nose, Mark bolts up. MARK What the shit? His sister, DEVON, stands over him. She’s 30, and many, many months pregnant. DEVON Hey, butterfly. MARK Your foot smells like pregnancy. DEVON Get up. You need toast. MARK I don’t want toast. DEVON You’re supposed to eat before an interview. MARK Says who? DEVON Science. Mark sits up, rubbing his face. MARK I don’t want to go. Go for me. DEVON I don’t think they’ll be fooled.
