Penny is beside him.
JEREMY
Skylar, right?
SKYLAR
Yeah. You got totally wasted at my party
the other night. You've been sleeping on
my couch for the last two days.
JEREMY
Two days? I remember falling in a pool.
SKYLAR
You fell in the pool several times, and
then broke one of my lamps. Actually, I
was pretty impressed by the way you stood
up to me.
JEREMY
I feel like I got hit by a truck. Is my
present condition the result of you
beating the crap out of me?
SKYLAR
I didn't touch you. You beat yourself up
without anyone's help.
Skylar moves off, then returns with a large glass of water.
Jeremy accepts it. Guzzles it down.
JEREMY

Skylar pulls his baseball cap down over his eyes, then exits with no response.
PENNY

you out of trouble.
JEREMY
Didn't do a very good job, did you? Where
are we?
PENNY
Fort Lauderdale. You said your hotel was
here.
JEREMY
My hotel is on Satellite Beach.
PENNY
That makes a little more sense. I
remember that you came down to visit the
Kennedy Space Center. Anyway, you managed
to find a Skylar's party somehow.
JEREMY
All I remember is falling in the pool. Do
you mind if I grab a quick shower?
PENNY
That would probably be a good idea.
Jeremy enters the bathroom. The sound of the shower can be heard.
Penny turns on the news. A FLORIDA NEWSCASTER is reporting on the search for the creature that captured Dr. Sorenson.
Jeremy returns with wet hair.
PENNY (CONT’D)
Do you want to go get a drink somewhere?
JEREMY
Hair of the dog?
PENNY
Exactly.
JEREMY
You're quite the partier for someone who
