INT. Doctors office. Day. The mid 80's.
A young, very fit MOTHER in sportswear is talking to a middle aged DOCTOR. The MOTHER has feathered hair and looks like the women who, in the EIGHTIES, laid half naked on red sports cars for posters that hung on teenage boys bedroom walls giving them their two biggest fantasies in one picture. The DOCTOR is wearing the obligatory white gown. He looks like Quincy. They both ignore the young plump ten year old girl JENNY, sitting on the examining table with a blank look on her face.
MOTHER
We have to do something about her obesity. Lord knows I’ve done all I can. I’ve been making her work out but she is so lazy. I put her on a special diet. I’ve been forcing her to take pills, I even gave her some coke for Christ’s sake.
DOCTOR
Judy!
MOTHER
Nothing seems to work. I want you to check her metabolism.
DOCTOR
Judy your daughter is not obese. She is a little over weight. It is something that usually works itself out during puberty.
MOTHER
I will not have my only daughter being fat.
DOCTOR
You shouldn’t worry. She is perfectly healthy.
MOTHER
She is too healthy. Hefty is not healthy.
DOCTOR
Judy please let it be. If you push too hard there could be social damage. She is a young normal girl. Let her grow up like one.
MOTHER
She is already stupid. There is no reason she has to be ugly too. You don’t see Jane Fonda with a fat daughter.
DOCTOR
I don’t think she has any daughters.
MOTHER
What about Bridget.
DOCTOR
I think that is Peter’s child.
There is a knocking on the door. The doctor, mother and little girl look at the door. The door opens and a beautiful girl, RAUDIA in her twenties is standing in the doorway. RAUDIA is wearing a light blue babydoll dress.
INT. Jenny’s bedroom. Night.
JENNY now in her early twenties is sitting on her bed in the same way she sat on the examining table. JENNY is in her bra and panties surrounded by five different club outfits. JENNY is not anorexic but about five pounds under weight.
RAUDIA
What’s up? We are going soon.
JENNY
I’ll hurry.
RAUDIA
Open or shut?
JENNY
Shut, thanks I’ll hurry.
RAUDIA
OK.
RAUDIA shuts the door. JENNY picks up a top. The CLOSET DOOR flies open and two girls pulling each others hair opens up. NARRSICCIA is a model type wearing a tight fitting pink top with the white words ‘Thin is In’. She has hot pants on and red hair. The other girl, JUNIPER, is overweight. She is wearing baggy blue jeans and a loose white T-shirt with the black words ‘I might be fat but you’re ugly. At least I could diet…if I wanted to’. Both girls are wearing nurse badges with their names on them.
NARRSICIA
Let go bitch!
JUNIPER
You first.
NARRSICIA
At the same time.
JUNIPER
At three. 1, 2, 3!
Both GIRLS pull harder.
JENNY
I don’t have time for this. I’m supposed to go to a club.
NARRSICIA
Cool. You should get out more.
JUNIPER
All that Bang, Bang, Bang. Give me an Acoustic guitar.
NARRSICIA
You are so un hip.
JUNIPER yanks a fist full of red hair. JENNY jumps off the bed and gets into the cat fight.
INT. Kitchen. Night.
RAUDIA walks to the kitchen table and sits down next to her friends DUDA and ZOE. All three girls are beautiful and ready for some HOUSE music fun. Three pills and a bottle of Evian sit in the middle of the table.
RAUDIA
She said she’ll be ready soon.
ZOE
I could only get three.
RAUDIA
Take them now or wait to see if the club is worth it?
DUDA
How can we split them four ways? Every time I try to cut a pill it just crumbles.
RAUDIA
We could crush all of them into four piles and snort it.
DUDA
It burns, I mean worst than coke, I mean even worse than that bad speed we had that
one time.
RADIA
We don’t have to snort it.
ZOE
Fuck I wish I could of got four. He told me four.
DUDA
Why don’t we just take them?
RAUDIA
Jenny paid.
LOUD noises and muffled voices come from JENNY’S bedroom.
DUDA
What the fuck is that?
RAUDIA
I don’t know. Sometimes I think she talks to herself.
ZOE
Sounds like she is getting attacked….well go check it out.
DUDA
Yeah.
RAUDIA
Come with me.
DUDA
No way.
RAUDIA
She’s not getting attacked.
ZOE
Yeah, she’s just fooling around.
RAUDIA
Maybe it’s music?
ZOE and DUDA look at RAUDIA like she just declared the obvious. that Carl Cox is a good DJ.
INT. Hallway to JENNY’S bedroom. Night.
All three GIRLS have their EARS cocked to JENNY’S door. There is a THUD from inside the room. There is a ruckus going on in the room. DUDA jumps back in fright. RAUDIA opens the door. ALL three GIRLS look inside.
INT. JENNY’S room. Night.
JENNY is alone on the floor wrapped up in her clothes. She is pulling at her hair.
RAUDIA
Jen are, uh, you OK?
JENNY turns to look at the girls. The GIRLS stare back with puzzled looks.
JENNY
Oh yeah...I'm just letting out some frustration. I think it's, uh, my reaction to Prozac.
ZOE
I heard people act weird sometimes. Dani told me it only made her feel good enough to kill
herself.
DUDA
Don't be stupid. Dani's crazy. I'm on Prozac and I don't pull my hair out.
RAUDIA
It can effect different people in different ways.
DUDA
We got to go soon. Chop chop girlie.
JENNY
I think I'm gonna stay into night.
DUDA
OK.
RAUDIA
Are you sure?
JENNY
Yeah, I'm kinda twigged out.
DUDA
Yeah.
RADIA
I'll...shut the door.
The GIRLS walk out of the room. RAUDIA closes the door and gives JENNY a kind smile.
INT. Kitchen. Night.
The GIRLS walk to the table. The pills sit in the middle.
ZOE
Jenny is weird. There's good weird like Tim Burton movies, but Jenny is scary weird.
DUDA
I told you not to live with that girl.
RAUDIA
Yeah, and you also promised me you wouldn't say I told you so.
DUDA
We'll I did tell you didn't I?
ZOE
Hey! there's just three of us now.
DUDA
And three hits of Ecstasy.
RAUDIA
God I hope there is a lot of MDMA in this.
ZOE
He told me it was pure MDMA.
RAUDIA
Yeah, and he told you he could get four.
Each girl picks up a pill and they clink them together like they are doing a shot.
ALL THREE GILS IN UNISON
Sociable!
The GIRLS swallow the pills.
ZOE
Right on. Let's go party girls.
RAUDIA
We are young, free and on Ecstasy!
DUDA
Chop chop. Out the door.
The girls walk out of the flat and RAUDIA closes the door. Three seconds later she comes back in, grabs the bottle of water off the table, and leaves again.
INT. JENNY'S bedroom. Night.
JENNY is sitting on the floor. NARCISSIA and JUNIPER are on opposite ends of the room.
JENNY
Thanks alot. I like those girls and now they think I'm crazy.
JUNIPER
Don't blame us.
NARCISSIA
We're not even here.
JENNY
We'll not to them.
NARCISSIA
No. Not to you. It's you w
ho doesn't know where you are.
JENNY
Where am I?
JUNIPER
That's for you to figure out.
JENNY
I'm going crazy? I didn't even take that much acid.
NARCISSIA
You've had your share of psychedelics.
JENNY
Well I enjoy it.
JUNIPER
I'm sure you did.
NARCISSIA
Look, I love drugs but you take the good with the bad. Every positive has a negative. Yin
Yang.
JENNY
I'm having a bad trip. What? I'm going insane?
NARCISSIA
You are sitting in a white room talking to yourself. I don't know what you are saying.
JENNY
I'm in my bed room.
JUNIPER
You have to snap out of this.
JENNY
I don't like this. I feel like I'm slipping away. Wait! I thought insane people don't
question their own sanity.
JENNY looks around the room but there is no one there.
INT. Insane Asylum.
JENNY is wrapped in a straight jacket. Her eyes are wide and scared. Her pupils are dilated. JENNY blinks rapidly and the vein on her neck pulsates as she struggles against her restraints. JENNY grinds her teeth and then her mouth drops open as she sees her MOTHER in a slinky bikini sprawled out on a red sports car. The DOCTOR is behind the wheel pretending to drive. JENNY shuts her eyes tight. RAUDIA, ZOE and DUDA are dancing in a circle around her.
INT. JENNY'S Bedroom. Night.
JENNY is sitting on the floor looking around the room. She gets up and walks to the closet, then hesitates before opening the door.
JENNY
Hello?
JENNY puts her head into the closet and looks around. There is nothing there but regular clothes, shoes, etc. She grabs an oversized jumper and baggy jogging pants. JENNY puts them on and walks to the kitchen.
INT. Kitchen. Night.
JENNY looks at the table. She pushes in a chair. JENNY opens the fridge door and looks around. She closes it and opens the freezer. She takes out a pint of mint chocolate ice cream.
INT. JENNY'S Bedroom. Night.
JENNY is on the bed gorging herself with ice cream. She scopes the container with the spoon getting every last drop. She drops the empty pint onto the floor , then reaches under her bed and pulls out a red box. Inside the box is Reese's Peanut Butter cups and a book titled ONE FAT SUMMER. JENNY looks at the book and then starts to eat all the candy.
INT. Bathroom. Night.
JENNY is on her knees bending over the toilet bowl. She is forcing her index finger down her throat. She barfs up mint ice cream and chocolate. JENNY grabs toilet paper and wipes her mouth.
INT. JENNY'S Bedroom. Night.
JENNY has her feet under the dresser and is attempting to do sit -ups. She gives up in frustration and starts hitting her stomach. She gets up and flops down on the bed crying. She lays on her back and puts the open book over her face. NARCISSIA takes the book off her face and leans in putting her face just inches from JENNY.
NARCISSIA
If you're going to eat like that you have to throw it back up. You don't have any choice.
Don't cry about it.
JUNIPER
An eating disorder is a sigh of mental illness.
NARCISSIA
Yeah so is depression you whale and everyone is depressed.
JUNIPER
That's not true.
NARCISSIA
Yes it is.
JUNIPER
I'm not depressed.
NARCISSIA
That's because you live in a world where fat people are jolly. Time to get out of the Big and Tall shop and into Victoria's Secret.
JUNIPER pushes NARCISSIA away from JENNY. She bends over and pats JENNY'S head with her left hand. In her right hand she has pictures of Ruben's full bodied nudes. JENNY looks horribly confused at the women hunched over her.
JUNIPER
Look at these beautiful women. This artist with so much talent choose these women because they were the most aesthetic creatures he could find.
NARCISSIA
Fuck that. That's history. We gotta live in the present. It's time for the revenge of the
skinny girl.
NARCISSIA has a needle and a foot of rubber hose.
NARCISSIA (Cont.)
Heroin is what you need. When was the last time you saw a fat junkie. Plus it kills the sex drive. You won't even worry about not getting laid.
JUNIPER
Who wants to get laid? Maybe she likes girls.
NARCISSIA
When it's two girls it's still fucking. Don't hide behind words.
JUNIPER
I'm not hiding behind words. I just...
JENNY(Screaming)
OUT! OUT! Leave me alone.
EXT. A school building. Late morning.
An American flag hangs limp from a silver pole. A banner on the side of the school reads "Spirit of '87"
INT. Heath class. Late morning.
Jenny is sitting towards the back of the classroom. The gym teacher is lecturing on reproduction. He is holding a baseball bat and pointing to a picture of a womb that hangs from the green blackboard.
TEACHER
Now who can tell me what penetrates the egg? Jenny Anderson?
JENNY
Cum.
TEACHER
Sperm.
The BELL rings.
TEACHER(under his breath)
Thank Christ that's over. I'm sticking to Driver's Ed.
The class starts shuffling out of the room. A little nerd sitting on JENNY'S left leans over.
NERD
For Whom the Bell's Toll.
A JOCK leaving class walks between them, he pauses, swivels left and farts in the NERD'S face.
TEACHER
OK go to lunch. Tomorrow we talk about erections and ejaculation. You boys on my football squad just keep your peckers in their place.
INT. School Cafeteria. Noon.
JENNY is in line waiting to be served the hot lunch. Three boys from Health class including the JOCK huddle around her.
BOY 1
Jenny Anderson, you want to cum over to my place.
BOY 2
Wanna lick my love juice?
The JOCK points to JENNY'S crotch.
JOCK
Why not? If there is grass on the field play ball.
A stocky woman thumps down a lump of mashed potatoes with an ice cream scooper down on JENNY'S tray.
INT. JENNY'S Bedroom. Night.
JENNY is on her bed.The room is messy with candy wrappers and clothes scattered everywhere. The book ON FAT SUMMER sits in the corner of the room. JENNY picks up the book, lays down on her bed and starts to read. There is a knocking on her bedroom door.
JENNY
Who is it?
JENNY'S MOTHER walks in without answering.
MOTHER
Who do you think it is.
INT. YOUNG JENNY'S room. Night.
The clothes in the room are now little girls clothes.
MOTHER
I told you to pick up this room.
JENNY
Yeah mom, I'll do it tomorrow.
MOTHER
You'll do it tonight. The place is a sty. Pigs live in pig's sty.
JENNY
OK.
MOTHER
Listen, we have to talk. ...put that stupid book down. You must be the slowest reader on the planet. Haven't you finished it yet?
JENNY
No.
MOTHER
You're father is gone.
JENNY
Another business trip?
MOTHER
More like a personal vacation. Listen the little son of a bitch isn't coming back.
JENNY
What! Why?
MOTHER
It's not important.
JENNY
Is he saying good bye?
MOTHER
He already left.
JENNY
Didn't he want to say anything to me?
MOTHER
Why would he want to say anything to you?
JENNY
Maybe he wanted to take me with him.
MOTHER
Yeah right. It's time you start growing up. All men are bastards, by the way you might see Dr. Johnson around here. Don't get in his way.
JENNY
Why?
MOTHER
Why? Because he might be your new daddy that's why.
JENNY
I want my real dad.
MOTHER
That's life. Dr. Johnson makes much more than you dead beat dad. Now pick up this room. I got the new Cosmo for you to read. It'll teach you how to act like a girl.
The MOTHER walks out of the room.
INT. Insane. Asylum
JENNY is in the center of the white room. She is standing up trying to struggle against her restraints. The GYM teacher is wearing a dress and has make up on. He is waving the baseball bat above his head and chanting in French while a women who looks like the editor of Cosmopolitan magazine is bent over a chair getting spanked by the NERD.
GYM TEACHER
La mort c’est obligatoire. C’est la vie.
La mort c’est obligatoire. C’est la vie.
NERD
Hemmingway was gay.
COSMO LADY
Harder. Make me cry like Gertrude Stein.
JENNY keeps struggling against the straight jacket.
JENNY
I don’t even speak French. I have to get out of this hell hole.
The JOCK comes up to her. It is the same kid from class but now he has beady red eyes and he’s covered in black grease. He has his penis in his hand.
JOCK
You speak the international language of love? He he he! Your ass is grass and I’m the lawn mower. I’m the slippery serpent of sodomy, I always get it in.
JENNY
Get away from me.
JOCK
No. I’m cum, cum, cumming to get you.
EXT. Caf. Night.
(Extreme close up shot of JENNY’S index finger.) The FINGER has white liquid dripping from it. JENNY puts the finger in her mouth and sucks on it.
JENNY
Yum.
JENNY and her MOTHER are sitting outside a caf on a summer night. A bowl of melting vanilla ice cream is sitting in front of JENNY. Her MOTHER is drinking Tab.
MOTHER
That’s all fat.
JENNY
I don’t care.
MOTHER
A girl should never let her body fat get above a single digit. Have you checked yours lately.
JENNY
Mom, you drive me crazy. Why did we see that stupid movie?
MOTHER
I thought it would teach you about the birds and the bees.
JENNY
What two kids running around naked on a deserted island? That’s the facts of life. If only I could be so lucky. No scales, no mirrors, just hot sun, cool blue water, fruit, dolphins and fucking.
MOTHER
Watch you mouth!
JENNY
What are you gonna do mom, wash my mouth out with soap. It probably has calories.
MOTHER
You think?
JENNY
You’re impossible. Mom do you swallow?
MOTHER (horrified look on her face)
What do you mean. I hope you don’t…
JENNY
With dad, or that doctor or who ever you’re with now, do you swallow when you give
head.
MOTHER
Oh I never!
JENNY
Maybe you should.MOTHER
Oh my god! You know that’s not what I meant. How can you even ask, no wait how can you even think something like that.
JENNY
It’s easy. Just get born with the worst mother in the history of creation. I mean Jesus mom. You took me to see the Blue Lagoon for my sexual education. It was so stupid. Brook has the bushiest eye brows, wouldn’t it be ironic if she married a bald guy. Anyway no matter how stupid the film is it tried to show how natural sex is. Don’t you get it? My sexual education?
MOTHER
Well I never…
JENNY
You already said that.
MOTHER
I’m insulted. I’m going home.
JENNY
Good.
INT. Psychiatrists Office. Day.
JENNY is sitting on a couch. The SHRINK is hunched over in a chair. He is leafing through JENNY’S file.
SHRINK
Do you know why you are here?
JENNY
Problems at school, problems with my mom.
SHRINK
Why do you think you have these confrontations?
JENNY
I don’t know.
SHRINK
Are you happy?
JENNY
I don’t think so, but then I don’t have anything to judge it against.
SHRINK
What do you mean?
JENNY
Well if I was never happy how do I know what happiness is. I’m not sure if this is how everybody feels.
SHRINK
Oh I see. You want to feel like everybody else?
JENNY
Actually I’d like too keep a little bit of my own identity. Just without the
pain.
SHRINK
I don’t know if that’s possible.
JENNY
Whatever. I think there have been moments of happiness. One time I remember my mom and I went shopping. There was this old lady trying to reach the middle can of beef soup that was stacked in a pyramid.. I don’t know why she was reaching for that particular can but she wanted it. Well she grabbed it and the whole stack just crashed down. My mom and I just looked at each other and started laughing. It was one of the fondest memories I have of my mother.
SHRINK
That sounds nice.
JENNY
No she ruined it. See as soon as we got to the car and started driving home she turned to me and said ‘ well that was funny’. I agreed. Then she said ‘well you were laughing so you must not be depressed anymore’. After that I made it a point never to laugh in front of my mother again. I would feel guilty if I felt happy.
SHRINK
I see.
JENNY
Do you? Do you really see?
The SHRINK looks startled at being directly confronted. He squirms in his chair and puts his index finger between his turkey neck throat and starched stiff collar.
SHRINK
What about your friends. How do you react with your friends?
JENNY
I don’t have any friends.
SHRINK
I see…uh…OK… what gives you pleasure.
JENNY looks at the SHRINK with disregard. Then she looks at the CEILING and thinks.
JENNY
Reading. I like to read.
SHRINK
That’s good.
JENNY
I relate to Ester in The Bell Jar.
SHRINK
I never read it.
JENNY
You never read The Bell Jar?
SHRINK
No.
JENNY
I really liked Holden Caulfield.
SHRINK
I’m afraid I never read The Golden Clause Field either.
JENNY
No, Holden Caulfield. The Catcher in the Rye.
The SHRINK is annoyed.
SHRINK
I never read it.
JENNY
You’re a child psychologist and you never read The Catcher in the Rye?
The SHRINK shakes his head like it’s an absurd question.
SHRINK
No.
JENNY
How can that be?
SHRINK
Listen, I graduated from Yale. I assure you that I’m very qualified at my job.
JENNY
Do you know who Captain Marks is?
SHRINK
No I do not.
JENNY
Are you qualified for life?
INT. JENNY’S Bedroom.
JENNY is laid out flat on her bed.
JENNY
What’s happening to me? Is this my mid- twenties break down?
NARCISSIA
You should be so lucky.
JENNY
Oh it’s you again. Fuck You!
JUNIPER
Don’t talk to her like that.
JENNY
I thought you didn’t like her.
JUNIPER
Oh yeah. Fuck you no tits, no ass, no curved, hollow, shallow, lollypop stick.
NARCISSIA (gyrates her hips)
At least I look great in clothes, at the beach or on top of some stud giving me the wild bronco ride. Wearing nothing but my birthday suit. You know what I mean. When was the last time you had sex with the lights on? Fat people ain't’t prudish, there’re just embarrassed to be bear assed.
JENNY
I got to get out of the house.NARCISSIA
You can’t.JENNY
What?JUNIPER
I’m afraid she’s right.JENNY
This isn't’t funny anymore.JUNIPER
You want humor? What’s small, white, thin and flat? No not a post card. Narry! Ha ha!
JUNIPER points at NARCISSIA and jumps up and down. NARCISSIA fumes.
NARCISSIA
Well, why is there always flour at Juniper’s house? Because it’s the only way she can have sex is when they go for the wet spot but nobody wants to do it with her so there’s always flower. HeeEee!JENNY
That’s not funny.NARCISSIA
What, you think I was hitting below the belt. HeeeEee!JENNY
No. It just wasn’t funny.JUNIPER
Ha at you.NARCISSIA
Back to you, you Judy Blume loser.
JENNY gets up and walks out of the room. The apartment seems the same. There is an eerie silence to the place. Jenny hears the girls fighting back in the BEDROOM. She turns to face the room.
JUNIPER
Now you scared her off you toothpick.
NARCISSIA
I’d like to know where, you vibrating Jell-O pudding. She not going anywhere.
JENNY goes to the front DOOR.
INT. Front kitchen door. Night.
The DOOR won't open. JENNY looks around desperate.
JENNY
It’s not locked.
JENNY goes to the PHONE and dials.
JENNY
Gordon pick up the phone….you never go anywhere….I thought you had an answering machine. You are such…
JENNY hangs up and dials again.
JENNY
Pat it’s Jenny. I think I’m having a nervous breakdown….No there’ re not here plus I don’t even know her that well….God I wish you lived in the same city….All the people I like don’t live near me….I don’t even know why I moved back. Yes it is serious…NO…I can’t…OK….Thanks….Yeah bye I’ll let you know.
JENNY hangs up and dials again.
JENNY
Hello…who is this…This is Jenny….is my mother there?
INT. Insane Asylum. White room.
JENNY is in her straight jacket.
JENNY
Mom…I want to talk to my mom.
Behind a closed one way mirror NARCISSIA and JUNIPER are sitting in DOCTORS clothes. Their name tags read ‘Nancy’ and ‘Jody’.
NARCISSIA
She’s talking again.
JUNIPER
I think she’s saying she ‘won’
NARCCISIA gives JUNIPER a hard stare like she questions her medical training.
NARCISSIA
She’s saying ‘mom’.
JUNIPER
We’ve got to take her out of the jacket.
NARCISSIA
Not until the drugs wear off.
JUNIPER (sarcastically)
Who’s drugs? Hers or ours?
NARCISSIA
We had to sedate her. The fact that she was self medicating, and we don’t know exactly what she’s on when she heard was too much.
JUNIPER
She’s just in shock, a normal reaction for the news she received, there was no reason for the extra drugs.
NARCISSIA
Those girls that brought her in couldn’t help us, she just freaked out. Look bitch, she was brought in under my care, she’s my patient.
JUNIPER
That’s professional, swearing. What’s your report gonna read.’ The patient was on street drugs, believed to be MDMA, Amphetamine, and some psychedelic acid when she learned of the death of her mother and then just freaked out’. And you’re wrong, DR. Del assigned me the case.
NARCISSIA
At least my methods don’t date back to the ‘always put a telephone book down when ever you sit on a man’s lap’ school of thought. She should be calm enough to take the jacket off soon.
JUNIPER
I’m going in to talk to her.
NARCISSIA
We’ve already tried that with no response.
JUNIPER opens the door and walks into the WHITE room. NARCISSIA is exasperated but follows suit.
JUNIPER
Honey, can you hear me?
NARCISSIA
Can you comprehend me?
JENNY is struggling against her restraints.
JENNY
Why don’t you two get the fuck out of my room. If you’re not here than just be gone.
NARCISSIA
We’re hear. You can hear us?
JUNIPER
Take deep breaths.
NARCISSIA turns her head to JUNIPER.
NARCISSIA
Deep breaths is the cure all.
JENNY’S eyes are wide, and her pupils are dilated.
JUNIPER
Are you all right.
JENNY
I’m Captain Marks. I got a vein, I have a nose, I can breath.
JUNIPER
OK, I don’t understand. What’s she saying?
NARCISSIA
I don’t know. Well have to wait. It’s a waiting game now.
JUNIPER
It’s bad. In cases like this usually the patient is out of it by now.
NARCISSIA
I don’t know how but it could be permanent. We have to find DR. Del.
JUNIPER and NARCISSIA walk out of the room.
JENNY
I’m Captain Marks.
INT. Doctors Office.
DR. JOHNSON is talking with JENNY’S MOTHER.The MOTHER is wearing tight Calvin Klein jeans.
DOCTOR
There could be social damage.
MOTHER
Not any worse than growing up ugly in this world. Why me? I have good genes.
JENNY is on the examining table reading her book One Fat Summer. She is wearing an aqua-pea green hospital gown.Her eyes leave the book and stare blankly into the camera.
JENNY
Mom, one day I promise I’ll be Captain Marks.
