A Long Night
-Jenny Chono's Apartment-
Jenny lays on her bed wide awake
(clock ticks)
Jenny: The clock sounds peaceful…
Jenny takes her glasses off and puts them on the nightstand. Then she sets her alarm clock and rolls up in her bed covers
(A slight breeze kisses her cheek)
Jenny (thinking): I almost forgot to close the windows. I don't want to get sick…
(Shuts the windows and blinds and goes back to bed)
Ominous music is playing in her mind, frightening her
Jenny (thinking): I better sleep with the light on.
(turns on the bedroom light and goes back to bed. She sighs with relief. Door opens and shuts. Someone may be leaving their apartment or entering it)
Jenny: Probably Mr. Henry. He's probably leaving for community college.
(Someone or something laughs rather crazily and quietly)
Jenny: Maybe one of the neighbors are watching The Dark Knight again… Can't imagine someone doing that at this time of night…
(the crazed yet quiet laughter seems to be coming closer. Jenny is becoming terrified)
Jenny (frightened): WHOEVER YOU ARE, COME ON OUT! YOU'RE SCARING ME!
* (spooky voice): You'd like that, wouldn't you?
Jenny (frightened): DON'T TEASE ME!
* (spooky voice): What fun would that be?
Jenny (frightened): AT MY EXPENSE?
* (spooky voice): Well, since you asked so nicely…
(A monochrome clown from Hell busts the door open making Jenny scream in horror)
* (spooky voice): Let's be friends. Let's be friends.
Jenny tosses shampoo bottles at the strange and terrifying intruder. Fortunately for her, someone clonks the intruder with a frying pan. None other then Lebowski
Lebowski: SAL, scaring a chick in bed… Not cool bro.
SAL (the intruder) clutches his head in agony
Lebowski: No seriously, that's really messed up…
Jenny is hyperventilating and in tears. Lebowski comforts her
Lebowski: Sorry bout that. SAL's a bit of an instigator.
Jenny: That psycho scared me to death…
SAL (angry, as The Joker): HEY! I RESEMBLE THAT REMARK!
Lebowski: I'm sure ya do bro.
Jenny: You psycho! You're lucky I don't press charges on your ass!
Lebowski: No cops! SAL's only here to keep track of your progress.
Jenny: Well, HE CAN SLEEP in the dog house!
SAL: WHY I OUTTA-
Jenny (extremely angry, yelling at SAL): YOU NEARLY GAVE ME A HEART ATTACK YOU FUCKING BASTARD!
Jenny's bulldog, Mojo growls at SAL and gives him the "I'm watching you!" signal then raises his fist in anger
SAL: No respect…
