This is a scene I worked on for fun, and I also used it for a history assignment of all things. The assignment called for the use of 20's slang, to which Jase has a tounge for. It is one of my best pieces to date.

**INT. MARCUS'S APARTMENT, WELWYN BORO**

MARCUS has a discussion with a good friend, and potential

traveling assistant, JASE.  Jase is a healer, and he seems

to be somewhat of a witch, but he's actually a necromancer.

He does not know it of course and does not intend any evil.

He also talks an old timely 20's tounge.  Jase owes Marcus a

favor, but  Marcus has not discussed this with Jase

beforehand, and decides to bring it up over dinner.

We start with Marcus inviting Jase into the apartment.

**MARCUS**

(Nervous) Uh, right this way, make

yourself comfortable, and, oh, uh,

you can hang your coat over here

(points roughly to a coat rack)

**JASE**

Well what a spiffy place ya got

here!  I thought I would have had

to razz on ya a bit, but it's

actually kind of a neat place.

**MARCUS**

You think so?  I mean I could have

done a little bit of cleaning

first.

**JASE**

Nah, it is perfect!  I wish I could

live in such a berry, in such a

place.

**MARCUS**

Well, feel free to look around, I

won't mind, just don't fool around

with anything.

A brief moment of silence occurs as Marcus prepares

ingredients.  He intends to share thoughts over a roast

meal.

**JASE**

How much this joint cost to live in

anyhow?  It must cost you a

fortune!

**MARCUS**

Would you be surprised to know it

costs me barely a dime?

**JASE**

Applesauce, this place ought to

cost at least a grand!  There is no

way on earth you get off paying a

dime, an egg like you!

** **

** **

**MARCUS**

(Kind of irate having just burned

himself on the oven) Ow! (laughs in

a bit of pain) I assure you I am

not a live wire or anything, but I

also get around.  I am not a big

shot either.

Jase continues to admire the apartment in astonishment as he

comes across a coffee table.  It is full of bills and such,

this has Jase intrigued.  He inspects the bills and finds

some odd statistics, notes and denoting in them.  Marcus is

correct, and the payer's name reads Vince Prower.

**JASE**

This isn't your apartment.  It is

his.  When did you meet that sheik?

**MARCUS**

(Roughly glares with surprise and

frustration) What are you doing?

You just don't look through other's

mail!  And who you calling a sheik?

**JASE**

That guy gives me the willies Marc,

the Heebie-Jeebies with just...

_At that moment, Jase falls over onto the couch as a car hits_

_something outside, he straightens his gaze to the wall_

_twitching for a few seconds, and then sits up smiling, as if_

_nothing happened.  Marcus wasn't paying too much attention,_

_but he heard the noise as he checked on the car in the_

_street bellow._

** **

**MARCUS**

What on earth was that?

**JASE**

_(Disturbed)_ What was what?  That

noise?  I heard it too.

**MARCUS**

It sounded like...a car accident,

did Vince like fall over the hood

too?  No, he just fell over. Clutz.

_Enter **VINCE**. Vince just parked in the road bellow the story_

_Marcus and Jase are on.  Vince, unkowingly protected Jase,_

_for he hit a trash can, and produced a noise similar to_

_Jase's fall onto the couch.  A little bit on Vince, he is_

_Welwyn's radio entrepreneur.  Vince may just be the most_

_influential being any of them will ever meet, as he is the_

_person who is putting Welwyn on the map._

_ _

**MARCUS**

Oh, he's home!  Why is he home so

early?

** **

**JASE**

Well, I guess we have another guest

for dinner.

**MARCUS**

If you knew him better, it isn't

even adequate calling him a guest.

**JASE**

I would say, this dude's the big

cheese.  I just wonder where you met him.

**MARCUS**

_(Panicked)_ The rolls aren't done!

The beef is barely touched, there

is still a pile of potatoes here!

He has to be at the studio in like

half an hour!

**JASE**

Calm down, it's not like it is

gonna kill him.

**MARCUS**

Manners Jase.  manners, and of

course convenience.

**JASE**

_(Looking out the window)_ Whoah!

What a breezer!  You ever see that

thing?

** **

**MARCUS**

_(With a bit of hesitance)_ No, but I

have been in it.

**JASE**

How could you be in it but not s-

_Vince enters sprinting, and he holding a large leather_

_binder.  He is dressed rather loosely, his polo is untucked,_

_and his hair is out of place.  he is speaking with someone_

_on the telephone._

**VINCE**

_(From the foyer to the kitchen and_

_then into the bedroom)_ No no no no

no no no!  You can't just pull him

off the show, it would break his

nutty heart!  Give him a chance, I

know he's crazy, but..._(indistinct_

_as the door shuts)_

**MARCUS**

_(Directing toward Jase)_ So, that

just happened.

**JASE**

It looks like I gotta go.  Seems

like the night is gonna

be...downhill.

**MARCUS**

No wait, I haven't even broken out

the appetizer!

**JASE**

I am open Wednesday, I just don't

want to be a burden, he seems

upset, and you do too.  _(He shuts_

_the door and leaves, forgetting his coat)_

**                                                                                 EXIT JASE**

**MARCUS**

WAIT!  _(Leaning over the table he_

_groans)_ I\_\_\_ didn't even bring it

up to him.

**VINCE**

(Through the bedroom door) Marc!  I

need you to call that politicain

back!  Tell him he can calm down, I

got em' his role back on tonight's

program!  He might hang up a few

times, but I am sure he will talk

to you...eventually!

_Marcus makes his way slowly to the phone only to realize_

_that there is a note tied around the handset.  It reads:_

_ _

**_"Hey thanks for offering me the food, it smelled delicious,_**

**_and I am sure it will taste even better.  As for the role in_**

**_your expedition, meet me at the track on Wednesday, we will_**

**_discuss more into detail.  I don't know from nothing, but I_**

**_wouldn't mind offering some time._**

**_ _**

**_~Jase Collete_**

**_ _**

**_PS: Don't call Ricky...He knows."_**

**MARCUS**

(Amazed) I...That _(Directs to the_

_coat rack, noticing Jase's caot is_

_gone, and with a bit of a surefaced_

_smile a small laugh he exclaims)_

Horsefeathers!
