Aloni's Blogna: T -1:00

SCENE ONE:

(A small room in ALONI'S house, Friday, January 14 at 3:30 pm. Strewn

around the room are various wires, computers, papers, clothes and a piece

of luggage that is in the process of being packed. A phone rings.)

ALONI

Hello?

Pause

Hi Erica.

Pause

I can't make it to Rikkud because I'm leaving on Sunday.

Pause

It ends Sunday morning? I still don't think it's a good idea.

Pause

No. I'm definitely not going to come. I'll send you a card from Hungary.

Hangs up. As he continues packing, Aloni looks at his watch repeatedly and begins to pack more quickly. As he finishes, he picks up the phone.

Erica? Hi. I'm coming.

Laughter erupts from the phone's speaker.

See you soon.

SCENE TWO:

(A montage of dancing with shots of ALONI performing impressive feats of

agility in an effort to avoid collision with nearby, dancers who actually know

what they are doing.)

SCENE THREE:

(After having just said his goodbyes to ERICA and REBECCA, ALONI is

seen driving out of Camp Ramah, singing along to Dispatch playing on the

stereo. It is 1:00am and very dark on the freeway. Suddenly a something

appears in the road ahead of ALONI, maybe a dead fox. After a jarring

bump, ALONI relaxes, only to find 4 foot piece of metal in his way.)

ALONI:

Oh ****.

Bump. Pop. ALONI pulls over to the shoulder where 2 others have also popped their front right tires. They have a lovely time waiting for AAA.

SCENE FOUR:

(We find ALONI sitting at a desk in the VIP lounge at LAX. it is the next day

and ALONI is composing blog post. ALONI glances at his watch, then at the

boarding pass, frantically tries to wrap up the post before grabbing his bags and

double-timing to the gate. Fade to a 747 taxiing on the runway. As the plane

gains speed, Aloni's face appears out of the window, lamenting the fact that his

stage directions weren't lined up on the left.
