The Fourth of July

Isak Gutierrez

SCENE ONE.

INT.APARTMENT.DAY

ISAK walks to the computer. He looks around and then sits down. He types a few things out, and then goes to eBay. He types out 'patriot uniforms' and presses 'search'. The results come up after a moment.

The DELIVERY MAN walks up to the door and knocks. Isak opens the door and takes the package.

	ISAK
Thanks, buddy.

	DELIVERY MAN
No problem. Have a nice day.

Isak drags it and then stops. He opens it and takes out a patriot uniform and a saber.

	ISAK
Awesome! And a free saber with the order! No wonder everyone was bidding on the item... and around July 4th, too. It's a wonder I got it.

He takes the things to another box, and puts it away. MAX walks past and looks at the box.

	MAX
What's that?

	ISAK
Nothing. Just going through old clothes that I'm getting rid of.

	MAX
Oh. Okay.

Fade out.

SCENE TWO.

Fade in.

EXT.APARTMENT.DAY.

Muffled sounds of 'Yankee Doodle' on the flute come from the apartment.

	MAX
What now?

Isak exits the apartment in a full patriot uniform and holding a musket and saber. He walks down the street, waving his sword.

James stands at a barbeque cooking meat. Isak walks up beside him and watches. James looks at him. Then back at the meat.

	ISAK
What are you cooking, James?

	JAMES
Hamburgers.

	ISAK
Oh. Well, see ya.

Isak walks back to the apartment were Max, ZEN and AERO are walking past, playing 'Yankee Doodle' and waving flags. They walk past Isak who stands there watching. After the music fades away, he runs after them.

Fade out.
