34.
SETH I gotta write something or my uncle gets pissed.
Pause. Mark looks back up at Seth. MARK I ran over a cat. SETH What? MARK
On my way here. With my car. I don’t know if it’s dead. SETH I don’t- MARK I should have checked, seen if it was breathing, but I was nervous to get here. Can cats be in a coma? SETH I don’t know. MARK What kind of monster am I? Who hits a cat and then drives off to interview for a job no sane person would even want? SETH So- what should I write?
Mark thinks a moment, then gets up. MARK
I’m gonna go see if it’s dead. Good luck with your movie store. Don’t give me the job. Mark puts on his coat and exits, leaving Seth baffled. EXT. FORESTED ROAD. DAY. Mark stands in front of his car, staring at a BLOOD STAIN on the pavement where the cat used to be. He turns and looks at the house. With a deep breath, he walks toward it.
