Yeah! Do you see the potential?
MIKAYLA
Here are the cylinders they were delivered to us in.
MIKAYLA HANDS BOTH CLARISSA AND EMILY A PLASTIC CYLINDER. SHE WALKS OVER TO THE CASHIER.
MIKAYLA
That's $200. Will that be cash or credit?
CLARISSA
Neither. VISA.
CLARISSA PASSES MIKAYLA HER GLOBE CARD.
CLARISSA
Don't you know anything about how people like myself carry cash?
MIKAYLA
Now I do. Nice card. Sign here please.
MIKAYLA SLIDES A SLIP OF PAPER TOWARD CLARISSA.
CLARISSA
I prefer to type in my pin.
MIKAYLA
Certainly. Yep.
CLARISSA TYPES IN THE FOUR DIGIT PIN AND THEN NODS. THE RECEIPT PRINTS AND MIKAYLA PASSES IT TO CLARISSA.
MIKAYLA
Enjoy the trip girls. Say hi to your dad for me, Clarissa.
CLARISSA
You bet. All the best.
THE GIRLS LEAVE THE STORE.

OPTIONAL SCENE
EXT. UTAHN STREETS - NIGHT
(CLARISSA, EMILY, MIKAYLA, GUARD)
CLARISSA PULLS A BRA – A NORMAL ONE, ALL SCREWED UP, LOOKING LIKE A SCRUNCHY – FROM HER LEFT POCKET. SHE NUDGES EMILY.
CLARISSA
Whoa! I am sooooo out of it . . . this swam into my pocket like it's liquid or something . . .
EMILY
Liquid doesn't swim, silly. You mean; like it's a squid.
CLARISSA
How much does squid cost?
EMILY
I . . . don't know.
MIKAYLA
Oi! You girls! Get back here now! Security! She stole a bra!
GUARD
Ladies! Stop right there.
CLARISSA NODS TO EMILY.
CLARISSA
Run!
THEY EACH TAKE OFF DOWN THE BUSY STREET, DARTING IN BETWEEN PEOPLE. AFTER TEN OR TWENTY STRIDES THEY'RE WELL CLEAR OF THE GUARD: A BRA COULDN'T BE WORTH MUCH MORE THAN A FEW METRES OF GROUND . . . ESPECIALLY FOR A FAT GUARD. AFTER ALL, IT'S ONLY A FOOT LONG.
CLARISSA STARTS TO LAUGH. SO DOES EMILY.
CLARISSA
Why did I just steal a bra?
EMILY
Beats me.
CLARISSA
Damn pink pills.

EXT. STATE STREET - NIGHT
(CLARISSA, EMILY)
CLARISSA AND EMILY ARE WALKING DOWN STATE STREET IN SALT LAKE CITY. CLARISSA HAS A JOINT IN HER HAND. SHE PASSES IT TO EMILY.
EMILY
City Cab, UTE Cab, or Yellow Cab [1.]?
EMILY PLACES THE JOINT BETWEEN HER LIPS.
CLARISSA
And spend the next half hour with a strange male cab driver? I don't think so. Bus stop's right here. We'll get the 453 [2.].
EMILY BLOWS SOME HASH HOLES INTO THE AIR. SHE PUTS HER PHONE AWAY AND WALKS SLOWLY TOWARD THE BUS STOP SIGN LIKE IT'S SOME KIND OF FLAG POLE LEFT BEHIND BY MEMBERS OF A STRANGE, FOREIGN NATION.
EMILY
Will they let us on? We're as high as where we're headed.
CLARISSA TAPS A SMALL SHEET OF PAPER THAT'S STRAPPED TO THE POLE WITH STICKY TAPE.
CLARISSA
They better. The next one's in five minutes at 5:51 and if we miss that we gotta wait until the pm . . . if we don't move . . . but we'll move. All we gotta do is follow Temple Street to the airport. We ain't too many squares away. This city's as gridded as NY.
EMILY
But your silly small mind can't comprehend the scale. Remember when you said it would take half an hour tops to walk down Manhattan, last time we were there? You said it was just a small grid. It's one of the largest cities in the world!
CLARISSA
