Starship Season 1 Episode 5: Into the Night
Finally Together Season 1 Episode 2--The Arrival, Part 1 (TVRGO Throwback)
David Cross, son of Fran and Brian, is prepared to guide his family down to his parents' house, including his wife Mary, and children Chris, Julian, and Drew.
DAVID
You all ready for vacation?!!
MARY
Chris certainly isn't. He's been in bed for 14 hours now.
DAVID
Well drag him into the car, because I already told my boss I'll be taking the week out of work.
JULIAN
The whole week Dad?
DAVID
Yes, I know, I've never done that and my job is on the line for it so we better do this right. Let's wake up Chris.
(ALL HEAD INTO CHRIS'S ROOM.)
DAVID
Chris, get up, time for our family reunion.
CHRIS
Why?
DAVID
I just said why...
CHRIS
I mean why are we having a family reunion? Aren't those supposed to be awful?
DAVID
Yep, but it's what your grandmother wants.
CHRIS
How old is she, like 110?
DAVID
Not funny Chris. Get up and get in the car. You've already gotten the middle seat.
CHRIS
How far away is the airport?
DAVID
No airport, we're heading straight there.
CHRIS
Dad, really?! Aren't they in North Dakota or something? That's a long way from Idaho!
DAVID
They're in North Carolina.
DREW
What?? Can't that be illegal?
DAVID
Having a mediocre wage with my job on the line is the thing that should be illegal, get in the car and play I Spy or whatever.
MARY
Relax David. If we want the kids to like this we have to be open about going. And money problems shouldn't be talked about in front of them, these problems have a way of going away.
DAVID
Making Chris pay the bills doesn't mean the problem is going away hypocrite, it just means you're ignoring it. Kids, get in the car, we won't get to North Carolina by magic!
(SKIP AHEAD TO 3 HOURS LATER. ALL 3 KIDS ARE ASLEEP, BUT CHRIS'S LOUD MUSIC IS STILL COMING THROUGH HIS HEADPHONES.)
MARY
Well we're still on the road so that's good.
DAVID
Uh huh.
MARY
You sound mad.
DAVID
It would be nice if someone else could drive for a bit, I'm not Megaman.
MARY
Superman?
DAVID
Chris wake up, you're driving now!
MARY
NO! If you want to make it to North Carolina you'll let Julian drive.
JULIAN (WAKING UP)
Mom I'm 14. You know that.
MARY
At least you're more responsible than your brother.
JULIAN
Why don't you drive mom?
MARY
No backtalk.
CHRIS
Yeah Mom you have your license.
MARY
I don't want to drive.
DAVID
Neither do I!
MARY
IT WAS YOUR IDEA TO TAKE A CAR!
DAVID (PULLING ASIDE)
Fine. We'll find an airport and take a plane. Happy?
MARY
Not that easy.
DAVID
Then driving it is. We better not be like this when we get there.
DREW
You mean if we get there?
DAVID
Go back to sleep. All of you. Chris shut your music off. I'll get us there.
CHRIS
Go Megaman!
MARY
How long do we have left again?
DAVID
According to my phone...1 day and 8 hours.
MARY
We'll be there 11 hours after everyone else at this pace!
DAVID
And that's a bad thing?
DREW
How should I know, I've never met them.
DAVID
Not talking to you. Didn't I say something about sleep?
DREW
Then we'll be wide awake at 4am.
DAVID
Dammit you're right.
MARY
Don't swear at the kids. You're just taking your frustration out on them, aren't you? You're finally figuring out this is a bad idea!
DAVID
We'll get there.
(ANOTHER DAY GOES BY)
DAVID
Alright, thanks to me driving way past the speed limit through every area except where there are police, we're two hours away.
MARY
You realize all the traffic tickets you're going to get is going to add up to more than the cost of taking a plane, right?
DAVID
Chris will take care of it.
CHRIS
No I won't.
MARY
OK, stop everyone. I think we're all tired. Let's pretend like we always get along, it will make our hosts and our extended family happy.
(2 HOURS LATER)
DAVID
Getting close kids! Remember, we're a happy and loving family this week. Julian, if you want more than two people to sign your notebook you'll obey. Drew, first impressions are everything. Chris...well you have nothing to lose.
(THEY PULL INTO THE DRIVEWAY AND WALK OVER TO THE FRONT DOOR)
BRIAN
William, Catherine, you're here! I didn't know you had a son too! I'll take Fran's presents.
MARY (TO DAVID)
Uh I don't think we remembered the presents.
DAVID (TO MARY)
I don't think we got presents at at all. And they also think we're other people.
MARY (TO DAVID)
Want to ditch this?
DAVID (TO MARY)
We came too far for that. Let's just make the best of it.
You all ready for vacation?!!

1X12 - “THE LEAD”
Written By:

FADE IN:
INT. SCHOOL HALLWAY - DAY
We see students walking along the halls.
Terri, Natasha, and Katie walk alongside each other.
All of a sudden, a beep goes off. Terri shuffles through her pocket to get her phone out.
It’s a notification.
TERRI
How about that?
Katie and Natasha turn towards Terri.
KATIE
What is it?
TERRI
You may want to look.
Katie and Natasha shuffle closer to Terri as they look at the phone.
It appears to be a Snapchat story going viral at the school.
Other students along the halls are laughing.
Oblivious to the commotion, Abigail walks to history class like it never happened.
The bell rings. Terri then puts her phone back in her pocket.
TERRI
Catch you later. That’s the third period bell.
Natasha, Katie, and Terri then go their separate ways.
SUPER: HOURS LATER
We are in the same hallway. School is out.
Fuming, Terri walks quickly to her locker.
She thinks to herself as tears stream down her face.
She finds a bench to sit as she covers her face with her
hands.
From the corner of the hallway, Abigail walks by and nearly
brushes off Terri.
Terri jumps up.
She quickly faces Abigail.
TERRI
Hey! Watch it!
Abigail freezes.
ABIGAIL
Oh. I'm sorry.
She squirms in embarrassment and turns away from Terri.
TERRI
You don't sound like it.
Terri then composes herself.
At another corner of the hallway, a group of students walk
past them.
STUDENT #1 pulls out her phone.
STUDENT #1
Fight, fight, fight, fight!
Terri unlocks the combination to her locker and pulls out
what appears to be incriminating evidence of election results.
TERRI
Explain this.
ABIGAIL
There is nothing to explain.
TERRI
Why were the ballots stuffed? Answer me!
Terri shoots a look at Abigail. The expression on her face
reeks of confusion. .
Abigail continues to walk past her.
In a dose of whiplash, Terri catches her by the arm.
ABIGAIL
Don’t touch me!
TERRI
(angrily)
Answer me!
Fury rises from Abigail's face as she clenches her fist.
She then abruptly grabs onto Terri's hair and clenches it.
Terri pushes her and kicks her, in order to get off of Abigail but to no avail.
Student #1 laughs as she holds the camera. STUDENT #2 rushes to the principal’s office.
The room spins.
Natasha and Katie rush to break up the fight along with STUDENT #3.
Abigail tumbles to the floor.
She then gets up from the floor.
Abigail gets up in Terri's face.
ABIGAIL
It's going to cost you.
Terri walks back a couple of steps. Katie and Natasha rush towards Terri’s side.
She turns away from Abigail and towards Katie and Natasha.
KATIE
Terri, what are you doing? You’re going to get yourself in trouble.
Terri composes herself.
Abigail slowly walks towards Terri.
ABIGAIL
Alright, you win. My dad paid off someone to stuff the ballots.
Angrily, Natasha turns towards Abigail.
NATASHA
Why would he do that? Isn’t that illegal? Did you know who stuffed the ballots?
ABIGAIL
He did not tell me. Even with that, it still was not enough to win the student council election for a freshman class officer position.
NATASHA
I don’t believe this!
Natasha then walks a couple steps back while Katie steps up to Abigail.
Abigail trembles.
The scene ends and we fade to black.
Next week, we continue on with the scene and Yvette returns.
