ALEXIS grabs the two duffel bags and heads back to MARK.
MARK Don’ t you want to say goodbye.
ALEXIS looks back at JASON for a moment before turning around.
ALEXIS He won’ t hear it.
MARK shrugs and the two exit SR.
JASON So there I am, asking people if they had seen my watch when I heard a bit of yelling. I went into the next room and saw a man yelling at a woman. And what happened to be under his left foot? Why it was the watch that you gave me last month! So I approached the two, about to ask the man if he could remove his shoe from atop my watch when he shoved the woman. I was shocked when I saw this, and I reeled around and punched the man right in the nose. I will not let a man shove a woman. Not on my watch.
JASON sits down and puts his head between his legs. After a moment of silence, he begins to laugh. He looks up, happily. He holds up a watch.
JASON( CONT’ D) My watch is right here, sweetie. That’ s part of the new bit I’ ve been practicing. What did you think?
JASON looks around for a moment, realizing that ALEXIS is gone, and that the apartment is nearly empty.
JASON( CONT’ D)( About to cry.) Alexis?
