(Guard lets convict Joshua into the room, where the phones are in jail and plate-glass window to talk to relatives)
Guard: Come on now, here’s your pretty little girl. You got 5 minutes.
(Joshua sits down and smiles at his wife on the other side of the glass)
Joshua: Oh, honey, it’s so great to see you. I miss you so much.
Emily: Oh, me too. I love you so much. I’ve been waiting to talk to you for so long. This place is so scary, and the walls smell like urine.
Joshua: Ah, it’s not so bad. I truly thought it would be a lot worse.
Emily: When are you getting out, babe, I really miss you. I really, really miss you.
Joshua: Emily, you know that I’m going to be here for a long, long time. I have to meet with the parole board in a couple of weeks, and if I don’t pass, it will likely be five more years.
Emily: Oh, I couldn’t stand something like that.
Joshua: Please, this place is a resort. They let us exercise, read, watch TV…it’s practically a five-star hotel.
(Sees prisoner (extra) drooling in the corner on the other side of the window)
Emily: I seriously doubt that. Josh, I don’t think I can handle five more years without you.
Joshua: Don’t worry about it. I’ve been very helpful around here.
(Joshua winks)
Emily: Huh?
(Convicts come in and catcall and hoot and howl)
Joshua: Hey, what’s up, guys?
Emily: Josh, this is uncomfortable for me.
Joshua: Actually, I don’t think they’re hollering at you.
Nunzio: Hey, hey, hey! Look at who we have here. The one and only...the champion! Right here!
Scarface: The king of it all.
Joshua: Nunzio, Scarface, Q-Ball. This is my wife, Emily.
Q-Ball: Wife? You have a wife? Funny, you wouldn’t think that…maybe something (shifts his shirt collar) a little different.
Emily: What do you mean by that?
Scarface: Oh...nothing.
(All inmates laugh, including Joshua)
Joshua: Oh, these guys are cut-ups, aren’t they?
Nunzio: Josh, you remember that you have to work on me tonight, right?
Joshua: Oh, I remember.
Nunzio: And could you brush your teeth this time? It just feels like an oven, that’s all.
Emily: Brush your teeth?
Scarface: Mrs. Joshua, this guy is the pro of pros. He can make you squirm and smile in a matter of minutes.
Joshua: These guys, huh? All right, I’ll brush my teeth. Anything else?
Q-Ball: Well...
Joshua: Well, what?
Q-Ball: Could you not use your teeth so much? I mean, if it’s just as easy not using them, it would really be more comfortable.
(Cut to Emily seriously confused and not knowing what’s going on)
Joshua: You got it, guys.
(Inmates leave and high-five each other)
Emily: What the hell was that?
Joshua: It’s kind of an in-prison type of thing. I don’t think you would understand.
Emily: What was all that talk about using the mouth and everything? I mean, I’m just worried. What exactly are they referring to?
Joshua: Let’s not talk about it. Let’s talk about ourselves. How have you been doing for money?
Emily: Oh, it’s been rough. I can barely pay for the loans on the house and car. (Starts to cry)
Joshua: Oh, honey, don’t worry. Guard!
(Guard comes over)
Guard: Yes?
Joshua: Can I get a down payment on the next servicing?
Guard: Well, I...um...uh....
Joshua: I don’t have to do it, you know.
Guard: (thinks it over and gradually accepts) Okay, okay. But I better be getting the true stuff. And no holding back! None whatsoever!
Joshua: You got it. (Guard leaves and Joshua slides 5 grand into the drop box) Here’s 5 thousand bucks. That should cover some loose ends.
Emily: My goodness. You’re selling drugs. I knew it, I knew it. You’re going to get in more trouble...
Joshua: No, no drugs. It’s much more complicated than that!
Emily: Oh....
Joshua: Actually, it’s not very complicated. I’m very surprised you haven’t found out yet.
Emily: Oh....
Joshua: Are you all right, Em?
Emily: Yes, I’m just so tired.
(Warden enters room and confronts Joshua)
Warden: (elated) Joshua, how are you?
Joshua: Doin' fine, warden? How are things?
Warden: Can’t complain. As long as you’re around, huh?
Emily: Anyway, Joshua, the kids want to know where you are. Soon enough, they’ll be old enough to understand and I don’t know what I’m going to do.
Warden: Speaking of kids, I disciplined the life out of this guy a couple of weeks ago. Wow, I apologize for any emasculating comments I made that would have hurt your feelings. It just comes out in the heat of....
Emily: Whoa, whoa, whoa. What are you talking about? Josh, what is he saying?
Warden: Look, I’ll get back to you later. I also apologize for giving your knees such severe rug burns. My bad.
Joshua: Don’t worry about it.
(Warden leaves)
Emily: This is all very confusing.
Guard: Hey Joshua, you got a phone call from the women’s prison!
Joshua: Thanks. Patch it through the phone line here.
(Split Screen)
Jada Jones: Hey Joshua! When you coming back over to the ladies prison! These prisoners might be dykes, but they can’t go down for nothing!
Joshua: Hi Jada! I’ll be over there this weekend. Tell the girls to brush their teeth real good, too!
Jada Jones: I’ll do dat! You stay sweet, Joshua!
(End Split Screen)
Emily: Who was that?
Joshua: That was no one. Just a friend from the women’s prison.
Emily: This is all very confusing.
Joshua: (dumbfounded) Really?! I thought you would have caught on by now. In a way, I’m sort of relieved that you don’t know. I have to take off now, I have to go meet the parole officer.
Emily: I thought you said you were meeting him in a couple of weeks.
Joshua: Yes, for my parole hearing.
(Parole officer puts his head through the door)
Parole Officer: Sorry to bother you but I really need ya, man. I’m getting withdrawals over here like I’m on DTs.
Joshua: I’m coming! I’m coming!
Parole Officer: I got those kneepads for you that you asked for.
Joshua: (frustrated) Yeah, yeah.
(Parole officer exits)
Emily: I....
Joshua: Let’s just say that the parole board may agree to cut me loose from this joint. I got to go, honey, tell the kids I love them.
Emily: I will, I love you. I love you so much, Josh.
(Both touch the glass and are about to exit; suddenly the three inmates come in)
Q-Ball: Hey Josh, are you ready?
Joshua: Hey, I don’t have to go near you till later tonight.
Scarface: Oh, no, not that. It’s time for your daily anal gang rape.
Joshua: Oh, God, no. Not that. Anything but that. Emily, go contact the guards.
Emily: Hey, you gotta do what you gotta do.
(Inmates start pushing Joshua around, and Emily exits)
Joshua: Guys! Guys! Come on! I can only “filate” so much. Even Jenna Jameson has her limits!
(Inmates laugh; fade)
