Summary: Paul and Ebonee try to enjoy a weekend at Kurts ranch.
It's six-thirty in the morning. Ebonee is still sleeping. Paul had left an hour ago to take Kevin, Dwayne, and Bradshaw to the airport. He gets back in and crawls in bed for a few more hours of sleep.
Two hours later and Amy is downstairs making breakfast. Joanie comes downstairs into the kitchen.
Joanie: Smells good.
Amy: 'Morning.
Joanie: Good morning kiddo.
Amy: (rolls her eyes then yells upstairs) Breakfast!!!
Joanie: Oh they won't hear you. I heard noices. (smiles) They're so cute.
Amy: Why are you here?
Joanie: I was invited.
Amy: Yeah oh, I forgot.
Joanie: Come on Amy, I'm sensing you're not all too happy to see me.
Amy: You probally should control that.
Ebonee comes downstairs.
Ebonee: Oh food. Ames it smells wonderful!
Amy: Thanks. Paul not coming down?
Ebonee: Shower.
Amy: Oh.
Joanie: Conserve water sweetie, shower with a friend.
Ebonee: (rolls her eyes) If I wasn't so hungry I would have lost my appetite. (smiles back at Joanie sweetly… okay not so sweetly).
Joanie: Yeah well sex does wonders for ones appetite. I know after one of my sessions with Paul I could eat a horse.
Ebonee:Hmm. Interesting.. not! Ames want me to make some juice?
Amy: Yeah (giggles) there's some oranges and fruit in the pantry.
Amy and Ebonee talk a bit totally leaving Joanie out in the cold.
Joanie: Can I help?
Amy: Sure, you can grate these potatoes for hash.
Joanie: Fun.
There's a few minutes of uncomfortable silence, then Paul comes in the kitchen. He embraces Ebonee, kissing her forhead.
Ebonee: Irish Spring?
Paul whispers something in Ebonee's ears making her laugh, Amy giggles too, but Joanie doesn't find the humor.
Paul: Amy when is Matt and Jeff coming in?
Amy: Uh they should be here about noon.
Paul: It's a nice day lets bar-be-que.
Joanie: No one bar-be-ques like you.
Paul: You're still here?
Joanie: Yes.
Paul: (rolls his eyes) Wonderful.
An hour later and they're finishing up.
Paul: Ladies I ate like a King. That was wonderful.
Amy: You're welcome.
Paul: And Because I am the King. I'll do the dishes
Joanie: I'll help.
Paul: We got it.
Joanie: Okay…. I don't want dishpan hands. Guess I'll hit the mall (leaves going upstairs)
Amy: Wish she could get hit by the mall.
Paul laughs.
Paul: I wash you dry? (whispers in her ear she laughs and snaps him in the but with a towel)
Ebonee: You're so nasty!
Amy: I'll run to the store for tonight (to Paul) keys? You're blocking my car.
Paul: I don't even let my woman drive my car. (smiles) Don't tell her (laughs)
Ebonee: Hello I am right here (laughs).
Amy grabs her purse and leaves. Paul and Ebonee wash dishes.
Paul: This is fun.
Ebonee: What washing dishes?
Paul: Being here with you. I'm liking it. A lot.
Ebonee: Me too. (they kiss when Joanie walks in)
Joanie: Yeah you'll really get a lot done with the kissing going on (smiles)
Paul: Aren't you suppose to be gone.
Joanie: I'm going. Hope there's a Victoria Secret. I just love their stuff.
Ebonee: You mustn't keep them waiting then (smiles)
Joanie: No. Can I pick you up something? I know his tastes.
Ebonee: No and thank you for leaving. (smiles)
Joanie: Oh well, can't say I didn't ask.
Ebonee: Ditto. Goodbye.
Joanie: Later kiddies.
Joanie leaves.
Ebonee: That …. Can I call her a woman? She's such a bitch!
Paul: Don't let her get under your skin Ebby.
Ebonee: Easier said than done, that waste of skin is the irritation on top of the irritation that irritates me! And the little , "I know what he likes" shit has to stop!
Paul: She's just mad, because I'm with you, that's all.
Ebonee: (a beat) What are we exactly?
Paul: We are kismet. In my opinion. I've fallen very deeply in love with you.
Ebonee: And it's not too soon?
Paul: Do you think it is?
Ebonee: No.
Paul: Listen to me. If I didn't want to be here. I wouldn't.
Paul kisses his girlfriend and they continue to wash dishes.
That afternoon is a blast. Jeff and Matt are finally there as well as Terri and Al. Paul is at home at the BBQ talking with Al as Matt and Jeff play of all things dominos
(go figure)
Ebonee and Amy are talking on the grass as Amy is hemming a pair of pants. Terri is talking on the phone.
Time seems to stand still for a moment when Joanie comes out wearing close to nothing but a string.
Terri: Oh my Sweet Jesus!
Al: (between laughs) Nice uhm string Joanie.
Joanie: Like it? (walks over to Al and Paul) I just bought it today. What do you think Paul?
Paul: I think you're naked.
Joanie: Like it don't you?
Ebonee walks over and grabs Joanie by the arm and walks her into the house, Joanie pulls away.
Joanie: Let go of me! Just because you can't wear something like….
Ebonee: I have class! You're making a fool of yourself.
Joanie: Oh I am?
Ebonee: Look I don't like you. No mystery but let me clue you into something. Your ploy or whatever it is is not working. Stop fooling yourself.
Joanie: What ploy?
Ebonee: I would say stop playing stupid, but you don't really have to try do you! Paul and I are together! We're happy and together, what ever you had is gone, kaput, over! Do not tread on me, I'll make you a promise you wish you never did!
With that Ebonee goes back out to join the party and Joanie just stands there. Holding back the angry stinging tears coming to her eyes. She goes upstairs and packs. No one even notices her leave.
