Scene 29

INT. JUTTA’S APARTMENT, LIVING ROOM - DAY
Angelique sits on the couch and takes off her shoes.

ANGELIQUE
This is good opportunity to find yourself. I took time off and traveled the world.

FRAU KNOBLOCH
What did you take time off from? Smoking doobies?

ANGELIQUE
(increasingly dramatic)
I looked for myself. Searched high and low. Love. By blue skies as well as stormy weather. Love. On the green plain, the fertile valley, and in the desert. Love --

FRAU KNOBLOCH
Get on with the point!

ANGELIQUE
Love.

JUTTA
Did you find yourself?

ANGELIQUE
No, but I make a lot of whoopee. You need that. Now it is easier to find a man. Internet.

JUTTA
I’m calling the shelter.

Jutta dials.

FRAU KNOBLOCH
That is how I meet JR.

ANGELIQUE
That is how I meet JR.

JUTTA
(into phone)
Give me the number for the homeless shelter in Santa Monica.

Angelique goes to the office, followed by Frau Knobloch.

JUTTA
No, it’s not a new club.

Concerned about what they’re doing, Jutta follows.

INT. JUTTA’S APARTMENT, OFFICE - DAY
Frau Knobloch and Angelique fight for the computer.

ANGELIQUE
I already wrote a profile for you. We just need good intro-line.

FRAU KNOBLOCH
Strong German woman.

ANGELIQUE
(typing)
Sexy German girl wanting to satisfy your every fantasy.

JUTTA
(writing down number)
You make me sound like a prostitute!

Jutta exits, dialing.

FRAU KNOBLOCH
She’s right. Add “I do not charge.”

ANGELIQUE
OK.

FRAU KNOBLOCH
Und we attach the photo of Jutta in the military.

Frau Knobloch clicks the mouse and hits return.

ANGELIQUE
She looks mean.

FRAU KNOBLOCH
That’s my girl.
