We see the front door, closed. Muffled, exciting chattering outside. Josh busts the door down, waving a check.
JOSH
Pay dayyyyyy! Man, I can’t wait to cash this.
Emily, Alex, and Bridgette all march in after him holding their phones up.
EMILY, BRIDGETTE, ALEX
(simultaneously)
Direct deposiiiiiiiiiiiit!
They all walk into the living room, and Candace runs out to greet Josh, holding a tablet. The tablet displays an ad for a $700 slime kit. She runs up to him, hopping in place.
CANDACE
Payday! Can I have-

JOSH
I’m going to cash the check. In the meantime-
Josh pulls on a dark hood
