Eric and his brothers wake up. The three go into the kitchen to get water and drink coffee.

Quinton

Damn, I have the worst headache ever. Did we get drunk last night or something?

Eric

I believe so.

Devin

Welp, I better get dressed. Today I’m going to look for a job.

Devin walks into the back room.

Quinton

What’s your plans for today Eric?

Eric

Well since Devin is going to have the car, I guess I’ll just clean the house. Maybe watch a little TV or something.

Quinton

Why not work with Devin?

Eric

That’ll never work. He and I can’t be around each other for too long.

Quinton

Oh.

Eric

Yeah, there’s no point in both of us being fired. I’ll just borrow the car tomorrow and go out job hunting.

A knock is heard from the front door. Quinton opens it. Brittney is at the door. Quinton lets her in.

Brittney

Hi, I’m sorry, I hope this wasn’t a bad time.

Quinton

No, not at all. Go right ahead and have a seat.

Quinton and Brittney both sit on the couch. Eric goes into the back room.

Brittney

Your brother Eric told me that you wanted to grab lunch sometime. I was trying to see if you had free time right now to grab something.

Quinton

He did? Well, my brother Devin is taking the car for the day, so, sorry about that.

Brittney

That’s okay, we can take my car instead. I mean if you want to.

Quinton

(Short pause) Sure. I’d like that. Let me just go get properly dressed.

Quinton gets up and goes into the back room. Devin enters the front room, heading to the front door. Eric is chasing behind him.
