DAY 9
Evan Snively
Int. House. A nice kitchen, painted purple. A boy sits at the table placed in the center of the room. This is EVAN, an American in Tours, wearing a red shirt with a gold lightning bolt on it. He also spells his name Evqn, thanks to the French keyboard.
EVAN
Oh hi, didn’t see you there. Of course, I didn’t, I’m in France. It’s all good over here, I’m certainly enjoying it. Speaking of enjoyment, today was a ton(ne) of fun.
The scene shifts to the interior of a classroom at St. Ursule. Well-furnished with tables and chairs for every student.
The students enter and take their places. The shot changes to a medium one of a table featuring JOHN, QUENTIN, EVAN, and LUCAS.
JOHN
So.*
QUENTIN
Alors.
The activity begins. A simple memory game featuring things from French culture.
LUCAS
Nous avons fini!
EVAN
C’était très facile, je pense.
After that activity is finished, we jump to the quartet’s next lesson, French texting language.

The next lesson is one in cursive writing. (WRITER’S NOTE: It’s probably best if we don’t go into Evan’s attempt at cursive, skip)
The students watch a film next, La Grande Vadrouille
STUDENTS
[All Laugh]
After that it’s lunch time. The students sit and talk in the cantine. Then, they sprint to catch the bus. And after that, it’s laser time!
The students arrive at Laser Maxx, ready to go, then they wait for about half an hour. Then it’s laser time! But of course, after the mandatory safety video.
The shot cuts to some b-roll of students playing laser tag.
EVAN (Voice-over)
Fun was had, running (but not too fast) and jumping (but no actual jumping) about. And after that, well, it was time to go home. But first, wandering around a grocery store!
Some meandering occurs. Grocery store footage plays.
Back to Kitchen from the beginning.
EVAN
And so here I am!

“So,” I begin “Do you think this’ll get picked up for another season?”
I turn to Loren and wait for his response. He thinks for a moment.
“With writing like this? Probably not.”
“Oh, come on! It’s not too bad! I’m sure it’ll get renewed.”
“Eh, if they don’t do anything too drastic with it”
“Y’know, I heard they were going to add a teen pregnancy subplot.”
He stares at me. “I hope not.”
“You never know!”
“Except I do, mostly”
“Debatable”
John bursts in, “No debates, please. It’s time to stop.”
