EXT. THE STREETS. NIGHT.
JENNY
"Honey? What are you doin' out here?"
C.U of JENNY, surprised expression on her face.
Look to JILLY who looks dissappointed and resigned.
"You know Jonny. What Jonny wants, Jonny gets. I just do what he says." JILLY sighs.
JENNY looks sad for a minute before her face clears.
JENNY
"Hey! Don't get all down on yourself, gurl. You got friends here or at least you got me. At least the gurls here know Jonny."
JENNY looks away, her face momentarily strained.
JILLY
"Yeah I know. So how is your little one? Still getting in trouble at school?" C.U. of JILLY looking interested and excited.
JENNY
"Oh, gurl. You know my Jeffrey. He is a handful."
JENNY's hands are flying with her words.
JENNY
"He's just like a rocket and someday I'm gonna give that little boy some room to fly." C.U. of Jenny showing a far away look in her eyes.
"Someday I'm gonna get us a house far away where no one knows us and that little boy can have a little boy's life.Gurl, you should get out of here while you still have a chance."
JILLY
"Not with Jonny in the picture. He'll never let us go." C.U. JENNY worry, resignation and brokeness all conflicting on her face.
The two girls are silent for a moment, fidgetting in the cold. A car pulls up and JENNY leans forwards as the window rolls down.
JENNY
"Hey baby! Need a date?" Her voice suggestive.
A disembodied voice calls back. "I want the redhead. She looks cute."
JILLY turns to JENNY
"I guess that would be me. Bye sweetie." C.U. shows resignationation, but when she turns towards the car her face and body show nothing but sex. JILLY walks to the car, hips swaying, steps light as if she has no cares in the world.
JILLY
"Hey baby -"
"Just get in." The voice responds, cutting her off.
She does and the car drives away, taillights fading quickly.
INT. DAY 7AM. CRAPPY APARTMENT IN THE CITY. - MORNING
JILLY
"Stacey! Stacey, are you up yet?"
A small tousled blonde head pops out from the covers. STACEY yawns and grumbles before JILLY appears in the doorway.
JILLY
"Stacey. Get up sweetie. Time to go to school so Mommy can go to work." C.U. JILLY lloking at her daughter, love shining on her face.
STACEY
"Mommy! I don't want to go to school. Stevie pulls my hair." C.U. petulant look on STACEY'S face.
JILLY
"That's because he likes you, Sweets. Hurry up. We need to get going." JILLY turns away with a swish of her waitress skirt.

Week 1
INT. DAY. SMALL TOWN RESTAURANT.
MIKE is a balding fifty something man. He bosses around his employees at the restaurant that he and his wife, DEE run. DEE is a sweet woman who is motherly and kind. MIKE is obnoxious and energetic. He is prone to wearing sweater vests and sweating profusely when it gets busy. He is also a hindrance to his employees as they try to work around him. DEE helps everyone and never complains.
Mike and Dee are now upstairs in the restaurant looking at the nearly packed house. Mike's face starts to turn red.
MIKE
Alice! Go get some ice. The machine is nearly empty.
DEE
Mike, I think that she knows what to do, honey.
MIKE
You're right. I think they have it under control up here. Maybe we should go back downstairs and finish paperwork.
DEE
Okay. We're going downstairs.
Both DEE and MIKE walk to the back of the restaurant and head down the stairs.

EXT. NIGHT. CORNER OF 2ND AND 76TH STREET, DETROIT, MI
JON is a pimp daddy. He grew up on the streets and has made many enemies. He doesn't trust people and always sleeps with one eye open. JILLY is a pro. More specifically JON'S pro and he will do anything to keep her. JON is tall and thin with blond balding hair and shady wondering eyes. JILLY has reddish blond hair and is thin. She takes care of herself as much as possible.
JON
Don't think about it, Jilly. You do what I want when I want and we're all happy.
JILLY
I never said I won't Jonny.
JON
Nah, you didn't but I don't like that look in your eyes. You know what you're risking if you screw up, don'tcha doll?
JILLY
Like you need to remind me.
JON
Good. Go to work.
JON stalks off into the night and JILLY stays put. She gathers some inner strength and turns, walking towards the other girls. Strength in numbers.
