INT. HOUSE - DAY
Edison and Brittaney are on the couch watching tv. Andrew walks out.
ANDREW
Edison, Justin Marfont called.
EDISON
Really? What’d he say?
ANDREW
He said he wants to invest in the sauce.
Edison stands up.
EDISON
Seriously.
ANDREW
Well, he wants us to pitch it to him and some of his friends.
EDISON
Oh my gosh. Andrew this is it. This the moment that our lives change forever. When we start our career before getting our bachelor’s degrees. Hah! Take that university! When’s the meeting.
ANDREW
Two days from now.
EDIOSN
Okay. Okay, we’ll need to work on our pitch. Make it flashy. Something that’ll catch their attention. Maybe we can get the film club to film something for us.
ANDREW
Or we can just make a PowerPoint.
EDISON
A PowerPoint? Andrew, this isn’t a homework assignment this is what is going to make us millionaires.
ANDREW
Let’s not get ahead of ourselves.
BRITTANEY
Andrew’s right. Take a step back. Also, there’s nothing wrong with PowerPoint. Sarah and I’ll help you make your presentation.
Paige and Megan enter the house.
BRITTANEY
And I’m sure that Megan and Paige will help write up some talking points.
MEGAN
For what?
EDISON
Justin Marfont called. He wants to meet with us about our sauce.
MEGAN
That’s great! I’ll write something up.
PAIGE
And I’ll proofread and help with research.
EDISON
Great, Andrew and I will make the sauce.
ANDREW
You got the recipe?
EDISON
Kinda.
ANDREW
Huh?
BRITTANEY
His grandma gave it to me as a wedding gift.
EDISON
Because she was marrying me so technically, I got it.
Later, in the kitchen…
Andrew and Edison are preparing the necessary ingredients. Andrew is chopping peppers and Edison is blending tomatoes.
EDISON
So, I see you and Sarah are friends again.
ANDREW
Yeah. Losing an organ brings people together.
EDISON
I guess. Britt and I are just glad that you two are no longer gonna be awkward around each other.
ANDREW
Yeah same. Edison.
EDISON
Yeah.
ANDREW
Before I went into surgery I almost told her that I loved her.
EDIOSN
Damn it Andrew.
ANDREW
What?
EDISON
We finally have peace in the house and now you want to blow it up.
ANDREW
Look I’m sorry but… Sarah and I made up. I didn’t stop having feelings for her.
EDISON
Look Andrew, I was rooting for y’all but marriage has made me wiser.
ANDREW
You blew $300 at Pinballz
EDISON
I almost have enough tickets for the PS5. Anyway, you two had a run at it and it didn’t work. Now, you move on. Simple.
ANDREW
I don’t want to move on.
EDISON
Well, you’re gonna have to learn how. For both of your sakes.
ANDREW
Yeah.
Andrew goes to wipe his eyes.
EDISON
Andrew, no!
But it’s too late. Andrew’s jalapeno hand makes contact with his eyes. There is a few seconds of silence and then… Andrew yells.
ANDREW
My eyes!
EDISON
You idiot!
ANDREW
Idiot!
Andrew grabs some of the chopped Jalapenos and throws it into Edison’s face. Edison starts yelling in pain.
EDISON
Ahhhhhh!
Edison grabs the chopped Jalapeños and throws it at Andrew who ducks. The Jalapeño pieces fly across the room just as Megan enters hitting her in the face. She starts yelling.
MEGAN
What the hell was that! My eyes!
The trio continues crying in pain. Edison runs over other to the fridge and pulls out the milk. He pours it over his face.
INT. OFFICE BUILDING - DAY
Edison and Andrew step out of a conference room. Their eyes are red.
BRITTANEY
How’d it go?
EDISON
Great, they want to invest.
ANDREW
They want the product on shelves nationwide.
MEGAN
It was the talking points that sold it wasn’t it.
EDISON
More like my business savvy.
ANDREW
Uh huh. Point is, it looks like we’re getting something out of our four years of education.
EDISON
Yeah, “education”.
END.
