PARTMENT - DAY
Empty plates sit on the kitchen table.
Jeremy and Tara are having sex on the living room floor.
In B.G., news on TV.
FLORIDA NEWSCASTER
A group of local hunters have killed the
so-called Super Spider in Southern
Wisconsin. We take you live to the scene.
The TV displays five hunters posing above a dead Kek.
A military helicopter is fast approaching from behind them.
A vehicle can be heard slamming on its brakes.
A hand covers the lens.
The video feed ends abruptly.
FLORIDA NEWSCASTER (CONT’D)
Apparently, we've lost the transmission.
Pretty scary stuff. More large webs, such
as the one the creature inhabited, have
been reported as far south as Illinois.
Neither Jeremy nor Tara notice the report.
After sex, they get dressed as if nothing happened.
TARA
I was thinking about applying for the
Ozone Repair Project. I have a lot of
experience in environmental assessment
and I think it would be fun.
JEREMY
You should go for it.
TARA
Interviews are tomorrow afternoon but my
flight leaves in the morning.
JEREMY
You can stay here for a few days.
TARA
That's very generous, Jeremy. But even if
I apply tomorrow, it could be weeks
before they get back to me.
JEREMY
I'm willing to take that chance. Tell you

afternoon. We'll give it a week, see what
happens.
TARA
I really do hate my job at the health
food store.
JEREMY
There you go. You're due for a change.
She kisses him. It leads to more sex.
