A Wonderful Day
A Wonderful Day By Jack Raymond

EXT. OFFICE BUILDING – DAY
SALLY (32) and NANCY (38) walk out of the main entrance with their briefcases. SALLY
Well I guess we’ll have to finish that report tomorrow. She drops her briefcase, and puts her hand over her mouth suddenly realizing. Nancy looks on concerned. Sally has a breakdown. Tears come to her eyes. She looks like she’s going to collapse. Nancy catches her just in time, and drops her own brief case in the process. NANCY
Come now. Let’s find somewhere to sit for a moment. Nancy guides her to a spot, a concrete ledge nearby. They sit. NANCY
There now. Don’t you want to get home to your family? SALLY
I’ll never make it in time. Can you imagine the traffic? It will be insane. NANCY
Yes. I hadn’t thought of that. All I ever think about is work. (beat) Oh my. I have nothing to think about ever again. I’m completely free. SALLY
Free? Yes, you’re right. No more work, no more reports, no more…
2 SALLY AND NANCY
…Tom Hanson. They both laugh. NANCY
Isn’t it wonderful? I feel so alive, so free! SALLY
Too bad we have so little time left. (beat) Oh look there’s Richie. NANCY
Didn’t he just break up with his girlfriend…? SALLY
Kate. Yes. Poor guy. He is kind of hot though, don’t you think? Sally scoots up to Richie, grabs his face, and kisses him. Richie is taken aback. SALLY
Oh I’m so sorry Richie. I just needed to kiss a hot guy one more time. Richie is flustered, flattered, and exhilarated all at once. RICHIE
No, no. That’s quite alright I completely understand. (beat) You really think I’m hot? CUT TO:
Sally, Richie and Nancy sit on the ledge, Richie between them. Nancy and Richie look at each other. He kisses her passionately. She is all smiles. He looks at Sally devilishly and kisses her passionately. Then he looks back at Nancy. SALLY
What a wonderful, wonderful day!
