INT. THE LIVING ROOM OF TAKERU'S ROOM MORNING
Takeru face to the PC and are writing the papers. The face is pale and he gets dark circles under his eyes. There is a knock sound.

TAKERU
It's open.

The door is opened and Yoko comes in.

YOKO
(Japanese)
Hey. How's going?

Takeru turns around slowly. He looks tired.

TAKERU
(Japanese)
Hey, Yoko. It's early today. It is 8 o'clock yet.

YOKO
(Japanese)
I didn't have anything to do last night so I went to bed early. And how's your paper going?

TAKERU
(Japanese)
It is on the way. 20 pages left.

YOKO
It's far from the goal(Japanese) right?

TAKERU
(Japanese)
Yeah. So, I won't go to the party tonight.

YOKO
(Japanese)
That means you won't go to the other party, huh?

TAKERU
(Japanese)
Yes.

Yoko stares at Takeru. Takeru averts his eyes from Yoko and starts working on the paper again.

YOKO
(Japanese)
You are liar. You go to her party!

TAKERU
(Japanese)
I don't like the Japanese society here.

YOKO
(Japanese)
Me ether.

TAKERU
(Japanese)
Yoko. It's not your business where I will go tonight.

YOKO
(Japanese)
Then, it's not your business where I'll go, right?

Takeru stops typing and stares at Yoko.

TAKERU
(Japanese)
What? What do you mean it?

YOKO
(Japanese)
I'll go to that party with you. It must be interesting with Americans.

TAKERU
(Japanese)
Hey, I can't decide your participation.

YOKO
(Japanese)
Then, talk to her.

Takeru stares at Yoko and sighs.

INT. IN FRONT OF CHRISTINE'S ROOM MORNING
Takeru knocks the door. Yoko is behind of Takeru. Nobody answers. Takeru knocks again. The door is open slowly and Rob shows up. He looks that he's just woke up.

ROB
What?

TAKERU
Is Christine there?

ROB
She is out. What's the problem?

TAKERU
Um...

YOKO
(Japanese)
Tell him. He must be party leader.

Yoko pushes Takeru.

ROB
What are you talking?

TAKERU
Well, um... I wanted her to check my paper but if she is not here I'm...

Yoko squeezes in.

YOKO
Can you do it for him?

Rob looks at Yoko and smile a little bit.

ROB
How many?

TAKERU
It's on the way, so..
.
ROB
Let me see it.

Rob grabs about 5 pages from Takeru's hand and reads them.

YOKO
(Japanese)
He can check yours.

Takeru nods without gratitude.

YOKO
(Japanese)
Ask for my participation to the party, right?

TAKERU
(Japanese)
OK,OK.

Rob reads the paper fast and returns them to Takeru.

ROB
Terrible. I can't read them because of lots of mistakes.

TAKERU
What?

ROB
Write it in English, bro. I'm amazed that you are a college student.

Rob laughs. Takeru starts at Rob with hatred.

ROB
It is funny that a man, who can't speak English, come to study here.

TAKERU
Americans are same...

Takeru makes a protest to Rob with holding his anger down. Yoko squeezes in.

YOKO
Thank you very much. By the way, I hard that you'll hold the Christmas Party tonight.

ROB
Yap.

YOKO
Can I go with him?

ROB
Sure.

YOKO
Really?

Yoko looks up at Rob with pleasure.

ROB
Of course. It will be hard for him if he is alone. If you come, I welcome you.

Rob talks to Yoko affably.

YOKO
Really? I'm grad!

Rob turns to Takeru.

ROB
If you rewrite it, come to see me. I'll check it again.

Takeru looks at Rob without any words.

YOKO
Thanks a lot!

ROB
No problem. See you tonight.

Rob looks at Takeru once and smiles at Yoko, and backs into the room and closes the door.

YOKO
(Japanese)
That's good. He must be a good guy.

TAKERU
(Japanese)
Which part?

Takeru throws up.

YOKO
(Japanese)
Calm down. I found that it is hard for us to study in English even if I can go in.

Takeru stares at Yoko.

YOKO
(Japanese)
What? Don't be angry at me.

TAKERU
(Japanese)
I can't guarantee that I finish this paper until the party. Because I CAN'T SPEAK ENGLISH.

YOKO
(Japanese)
You're kidding.

TAKERU
If I can't, then you go alone. OK?

Takeru turns around and goes to his room.

YOKO
(Japanese, whispering)
Don't be such nervous.

Yoko follows Takeru with dissatisfaction.

The cardboard boxes are thrown down on the floor. Some vinyl bags, which contains something looks cigarette, are dropped. Jeff, Chan, Yuen and Li are counting those bags in the simple kitchen.

JEFF
(Chinese)
How is it?

CHAN
(Chinese)
No problem. They are complete.

YUEN
(Chinese)
Mine's too.

JEFF
(Chinese)
Hey, Li!

Li staring at the bag in an ecstasy is surprised at Jeff's voice.

JEFF
(Chinese)
What are you doing!?

LI
(Chinese)
It is amazing smell, so...

JEFF
(Chinese)
It's a merchandise. Don't touch it.

LI
(Chinese)
I know...

Li answers with fear.

CHAN
(Chinese)
The Americans are fool. They bet their money and lives for such a stuff.

YUEN
(Chinese)
Even if they are fool, they are important customers.

Jeff sneers.

JEFF
Make their brains fucked.

Jeff looks violently. Chan, Yuen and Li get the counted bags back into the card board boxes.
