INT. LIVING ROOM - NIGHT

STEVEN is sitting on the couch when there is a knock at the door. He gets up and opens it up. KRISTY is standing there looking at him. He looks confused.

KRISTYYou called?

He is more confused.

STEVENUm, I dont think...

KRISTYDid you or did you not call for a plumber?

Suddenly he remembers.

STEVENOhhhhh. You are the plumber? I umm...

He looks towards his bathroom. A worried look comes across his face.

STEVENYou know what? I think I have it under control. Sorry for wasting your time.

He gets ready to shut the door when Kristy steps in.

KRISTYLook buddy.

STEVENSteven.

KRISTYWhatever. I got a call for an emergency plumbing job in a bathroom. Now I dont just do this job for my health. So where is the problem?

Still embarrassed, Steven tries to get out of it.

STEVENNo really, its okay. I think I fixed it.

A sound comes gurgling from the bathroom. Steven panics.

KRISTYWhat was that?

STEVENThat? Oh, nothing. Its just my umm ...cat. Yeah, hes not feeling well.

Kristy starts towards the bathroom. Steven reaches out to stop her.

STEVENNo, please dont go in there.

Now its Kristy that looks confused.

KRISTYIf I get dispatched on a call I have to at least check it out.

STEVENDont take this the wrong way but ...Is there maybe a male plumber that could come by?

KRISTYNope. Sorry, I am the only one available. So if you could just show me where...

Steve grabs her arm.

KRISTYTrust me buddy. I have seen it all.

STEVENSteven.

KRISTYWhatever. I am sure its not as bad as you think it is.

KRISTYDo you have a problem with me being a woman?

Steven doesnt know what to say.

STEVENNot that you are a woman but...

KRISTYBut what?

Steven turns away.

STEVENWell ...Youre an attractive woman.

Now its Kristy that blushes a bit.

KRISTYThank you. Thats very nice of you to say. But I do have a job to do. So if I could just take a look...

She walks towards the bathroom. Steven tries one last time to stop her before she goes in. It doesnt work.

STEVEN(under his breath)

Sorry.

KRISTY (O.S.)Holly Hell balls! What in the...

Steven drops his head. Kristy walks back out in shock. Steven looks at her intimidated.

STEVENWould you like to go out sometime?
