Angela: I guess Rickie told you?

Rickie: Yeah I told her. I was home when you called.

Rayanne: Well what does he look like?

Angela: (pause trying to find words) Different.

Rayanne: Well when are you gonna see him again?

Angela: Probably never.

Rayanne: What?

Angela: Well he didn't recognize me.

Rayanne: But you told him who you are? (She waits for a "yeah" but Angela just sits down on the couch and doesn't say anything.) ANGELA!

Angela: What?

Rayanne: I can't believe you.

Rickie: Maybe it's for the best I mean if he didn't recognize her maybe he forgot about her.

Rayanne: Are you crazy? The love of her life just walked in and out of her life...again.

Rickie: Don't say that.

Rayanne: What?

Angela: The part about him being the love of my life.

Rayanne: He isn't he?

Rickie: Rayanne, she's only dated two other guys, how could she possibly know?

Angela: Actually one, 'cause Brian doesn't really count.

(Rayanne just stares at Angela.)

Angela: What?

(Danny and Jordan still sit in the same place.)

Danny: Wow, that's quite a story. (Pause) You were a jerk.

Jordan: Yeah I know.

Danny: Look I'll see if I can help you write a few songs with all that shit you just told me.

Jordan: Nah, it's too personal.

Danny: I thought you wanted to write good songs again, trust me with all that drama you just told me that's the kinda stuff you put into songs. (He grabs the pad of paper off of the table in front of Jordan, and holds it in front of him.)

(Jordan sits there staring at the pad of paper and thinking. He leans forward and grabs it. Danny smiles.)

Danny: Let's get to writing.

(Angela lies on her bed staring at the ceiling.)

AngelaVO: Rayanne's right, why didn't I tell him who I was? Now I might never see him again. (Pause) He looked the same besides his hair, he still doesn't talk much, maybe he's still the same guy, shallow and only looking for one thing. Or he could be different. (She shakes her head) What am I talking about; guys like Jordan Catalano don't change.

(Danny and Jordan walk out in the main part of the studio.)

Alex: I sure hope you're walkin' out of that room with two songs.

Jordan: Alex, shut up. And learn your part. (He throws his tabs at him.)

(Jordan grabs his jacket and him and Danny start to walk out.)

Alex: Where you goin'?

Jordan: We wrote it we already know it.

(The door shuts and the screen is black. An alarm goes off and the clock reads 6:45 Angela gets up and starts getting ready work.)

(The band is rehearsing.)

Shane: (sitting behind his drum set.) Jordan we've been up all night, I need some coffee.

Alex: Me too.

Shane: I'll go I got the cash.

Alex: What do you think—?

Jordan, Danny & Shane: Shut up Alex.

(Angela is standing behind the counter of the Starbucks and looks bored.)

Angela: Can I help you?

Shane: Hey, I'm Shane.

AngelaVO: I really don't care. (Aloud) Angela what can I get you?

Shane: Yeah I need for 3 Caramel frappichinos and one black coffee 4 sugars.

Angela: Names?

Shane: Oh, Jordan on the coffee and Alex, Danny and Shane on the rest.

Angela: Is that Jordan Catalano?

Shane: Yeah you know him?

Angela: You could say that. Well I'll get started on your drinks.

Shane: Thanks.

(Danny, Alex and Jordan are practicing. Jordan stops them.)

Jordan: Hey Alex that last chord is C not a D

Danny: Yeah learn your part already.

Alex: Man shut up.

Jordan: Oh Jesus.

(Shane walks in.)

Shane: Hey guys I got the coffee. (They don't hear them because they're arguing.) HEY!

(They all look at him.)

Shane: Coffee.

(They all grab their drinks.)

Shane: Hey Jordan that coffee girl knew you.

Jordan: Yeah I was in there yesterday.

Shane: Nah man she knew your last name too.

Alex: Wow stalker.

Jordan: What was her name?

Shane: I think—

(A cell phone rings)

Jordan: Hang on. (Answers his phone) Hello? (Pause) Hey, yeah that's cool. (Pause) Umm...8, I think. Alright so I'll see you later. (Back to the guys) That was the record label they said they're definitely coming tonight.

Alex: Well we gotta practice.

(Angela is sitting at a table eating lunch then her cell phone rings.)

Angela: Hello?

(Split screen)

Rayanne: Guess what?

Angela: What?

Rayanne: We're going to Cloud Nine tonight.

Angela: Why?

Rayanne: There is a band playing that I want to see.

Angela: Well what time?

Rayanne: 8

Angela: Alright I guess I'll go.

Rayanne: Yes! We are gonna have a time.

Angela: I'm sure.

Rayanne: Kay. I'll talk to ya later.

Angela: Bye.

(Split screen ends and its just Rayanne in the apartment. She looks at a flyer then puts it down on the counter and walks away. We see the flyer, it reads: "Discretely Chic, Forever Faithful, and Residue tonight at Cloud Nine.")

(The band is packing up stuff to leave for Cloud Nine.)

Shane: Man this is it.

Jordan: Man we're not even there yet?

Shane: But still in one hour we'll be on stage playing for a record deal.

Danny: Yeah let's just hope the other bands aren't better than us.

(They continue packing.)

Jordan: (Coiling up an electric chord.) Shane?

Shane: Yeah.

Jordan: What was that girl's name? (He puts the chord into a cardboard box and lifts the box.)

Shane: What girl?

Jordan: The coffee girl.

Shane: Oh I think it was Angela.

(Jordan drops the box.)

Alex: Ouch you moron that was my foot.

(Rickie and Angela sit on the couch.)

Rickie: Rayanne hurry up we're late.

Rayanne: Hold your horses.

(Inside Cloud Nine)

Announcer: Ladies and gents please welcome our first band tonight Residue.

Jordan: Hey guys thanks for comin' out tonight it means a lot to us. Our first is a power ballad that we wrote so...

(They play "Let It Slide" by No use for a Name.)

Jordan: This song means a lot to me, Danny and me actually wrote it yesterday.

I'll understand if you're not feeling well enough to write
I'll understand if you've got way too many things to do
you see I've been sitting here for an hour trying to finish what I started
Now it seems every line gets harder and never really write out what I wanna say so I hope this letter finds you well
It's taken me a little while to sit and spell out everything I wanna say
But I think I'm ready to convey
You're the reason that I play at all
You got me thinking how a song can change it all
If there's any wonder how I made it through
Well I tell them that's between me and you, well
Someday I'll thank you if I see you around
But for now I'll just keep this letter to myself
in a song I'll probably never sing for you
Like a satellite
Spinning 'round my head in sound
When you're sixteen and you're full of anger

nothing matters much but the sound of broken bottles and hearts
And the ties that bind you to what you can't ignore
In a world where I had no control I used my voice as a weapon that I could own
I screamed and shouted until I bled
I meant every single word I said
You're the reason that I care at all
You got me thinking how a song can change it all
If there's any wonder why I'm here
Well nothing's ever been so clear
Someday I'll thank you if I see you around
But for now I'll just keep this letter to myself
in a song I'll probably never sing for you
Like a satellite
Spinning 'round my head in sound
Like a song I won't forget
Oh satellite spinning 'round my head
Like a song I won't forget
When we're all grown up and looking for that anger nothing matters much
But the reassuring sound of a voice buzzing through the stereo
All this imagery and sound
With words that bite and tear out
So watch me find myself
Again now I found my voice again now.
