Hannah and Her Sisters (2)

INT. HANNAH'S KITCHEN - NIGHT Hannah, licking her fingers, walks past a memo-cluttered refrigerator to the stove as Holly, behind her, begins to speak. The faint sounds of music are still heard. HOLLY Hannah, I have to borrow some more money. (sipping her drink) Don't get upset. HANNAH (stirring some food in a saucepan on the stove) Mmm, I never get upset over that. Mmm? HOLLY This is the last time, I promise. And I'm keeping strict accounts. As Holly talks, sipping her drink, Hannah busily works in the kitchen, which contains a large center table stacked with bowls and plates of food, hanging pots and pans, and general party clutter. She walks on-and-offscreen as she talks and listens to her sister. HANNAH Holly, please. Don't insult me. HOLLY (putting her empty glass and plate down on the table) Someday, I'll pay it all back. HANNAH I know. H-how much do you need? HOLLY Two thousand dollars. Hannah, who'd been mashing some food in a bowl on a nearby counter, hesitates momentarily. She turns to Holly. HANNAH (trying to nod her head casually) Uh-huh. HOLLY (gesturing, her back to the camera) Hannah, I know it's a lot, but my friend April and I, we have this catering idea I think's going to be great. Hannah, licking her fingers, walks past Holly. HOLLY (turning to face Hannah) You admit that we're great cooks, right? HANNAH (nodding, back at the stove now, stirring in a pot) Yeah. HOLLY (putting her hands in her pockets) Well, in order to get started, there's just a few things I have to buy... (gesturing) and some old debts I have outstanding. HANNAH (looking at her sister) Will you just tell me one thing? HOLLY (nodding) Okay. HANNAH Are we talking about cocaine again? HOLLY (shaking her head no) I swear. I swear. We've already got some requests to do a few dinner parties. A timer goes off. Hannah walks past Holly to attend to some food on a different stove. Holly turns to face her. Only Holly is seen as she talks to the offscreen Hannah, the camera moving in closer on her face. As Holly speaks, she distractedly nibbles an hors d'oeuvre. In the background, her parents can be heard singing in the living room. HOLLY I mean, obviously, I'm not going to be a caterer forever, you know. We both still go to auditions. Something could turn up at any moment. But the parties are at night, days are free, I can still take my acting class. I haven't done drugs on a year. Holly pops another hors d'oeuvre into her mouth as the background singing gets louder and the film cuts to: INT. HANNAH'S LIVING ROOM - NIGHT The living room is crowded with family and guests sitting comfortably on chairs near the piano, where Evan, Hannah's father, plays "Bewitched" as Hannah's mother, Norma, sits nearby, accompanying him in their duet. A child is sprawled out under a blanket on a sofa; some guests chatter quietly; others drink and eat, listening. EVAN & NORMA (singing) "A whimpering, simpering Child again Bewitched, bothered, and bewildered Am I..." As they continue to sing, the film cuts back to the kitchen, where Lee, carrying some glasses, enters through the doorway. LEE Mom and Dad are floating down memory lane again! Lee walks over to her sisters, putting the glasses down on a counter. Hannah is scooping seeds out of a cantaloupe. Holly, leaning on the table, sips her drink. The music from the living room is softly heard as the three sisters chat comfortably and easily with each other. HANNAH (smiling and turning to Lee) Aah... Hey, have you tried Holly and her friend's shrimp puffs? LEE (nodding to Holly, touching her arm) I think they're fantastic. HANNAH (to Holly) You've outdone yourself. HOLLY (overlapping her sisters, shrugging and smiling) Oh, my God. Thank you. LEE (interrupting, to Hannah) I need an antihistamine. Mom thinks she's feeling her asthma, and so... HANNAH (overlapping) Ohh? HOLLY (overlapping, lighting a cigarette) Uh-oh. LEE (continuing) ...before she starts turning into Camille... (laughing) HOLLY (overlapping) Yeah, Mom's Camille when she gets up in the morning. LEE (turning to Holly) At least she isn't drinking. Did you notice? HOLLY (nodding) Mm-hm. HANNAH (turning to look at her sisters, laughing) Doesn't she look great in that new dress? HOLLY (nodding) Yeah. LEE (nodding) Yeah. The sisters all talk at once; Hannah is still working at the sink. HANNAH Don't you think she does? HOLLY She really does, though. LEE (turning towards the sink) Yeah, she knows it, too, 'cause she's flirting with all the men here. HOLLY (puffing on her cigarette) God. HANNAH (scooping out some cantaloupe seeds) Maybe when she's eighty, she'll stop straightening her garter belt when there's a guy around. HOLLY (to Lee, laughing) I should get a garter belt. LEE (laughing) Yeah. HOLLY (looking down at herself) Get a garter belt... (sipping her drink) Get a garter belt and flirt. LEE (laughing, to Hannah) Where are the antihistamines? HANNAH Oh, I don-- Ask Elliot for that. Uh, he's got them somewhere. LEE (nodding) Okay. Lee leaves the kitchen. Holly, puffing on her cigarette, watches her go. HOLLY (sighing) Frederick didn't come with her. HANNAH (turning to Holly, still working at the sink) When does Frederick ever come with her? HOLLY (whispering intently) Tch. He's such an angry...he's such a depressive. I thought she was moving out!
