Day 80. True Facts.

Night. Residential backyard. MOM closes the back door; it locks. EMILY, CONNIE, and SAROH are walking to the car already. MOM reaches into her pocket, then looks up in panic

MOM
Emily, you have keys right?

EMILY
Uh... no....

MOM
Connie, do you?

CONNIE
Yeah they're in my backpack, let me go get them

MOM
Your backpack... inside the house?

CONNIE
Yeah... OH.

MOM
Okay, nobody get worried, we're just going to think this through. I have the car keys, my phone, and my purse..

CONNIE
Emily, didn't you break in through the bathroom window that one time?

EMILY
Yeah but then I told Dad and instead of being proud of me he fixed it.

CONNIE
What about the time you broke in through the patio door?

EMILY
He fixed that too.

Meanwhile, SAROH hunts for paperclips

MOM
I didn't bolt the door...it's just that flimsy lock...
(she shakes it)
I'm going to go around the house and see if any of the windows are unlocked.

CONNIE
Can't we just like... kick it?
series of increasingly awkward high kicks to the door
Has anyone here watched more than an hour of Cops?

silence


EMILY
Wait wait I can totally do this.

EMILY begins trying to kick in door. CONNIE grabs her by one calf; EMILY grabs onto door; chaos ensues. EMILY is on ground in fetal position clutching her arm when MOM comes back.

MOM
Oh my god what happened

CONNIE
Well see Emily was trying to kick the door in so I tried to

EMILY
I'm pretty sure you removed my arm from its socket.

MOM
NO GOOFING AROUND. Connie, go get the toolbox from the car.

EMILY
Hey Mom? Should I break the window, or the lock?

MOM
NEITHER

House phone rings; ALL strain to hear as it goes to voicemail.
DAD
Hey guys, it's Dad, Arrowhead's great, it's so nice up here, just wondering how you are. I bet you're out having a good time. Alright talk to you later!

CONNIE is attempting to open the back door with a leaf wrapped around a stick. EMILY is trying to hand her a credit card.

MOM is scrolling through phone contacts
OH STEPHANIE HAS KEYS! I'll call her.

EMILY, CONNIE, and SAROH: BUT WE WERE SO CLOSE!!!
