Blood Brothers Cut Scenes

Avoiding Maria

INT. WEST ROSWELL HIGH - HALLWAY -DAY

MARIA's racing for class, obviously late. The halls are empty.
She tears around a corner and straight into MICHAEL. He
steadies her, then quickly drops his hands away from her like
a hot potato.

MARIA
Hey.

MICHAEL
Hey.

They stare, uncertain. Michael breaks off the look. Begins to
look anywhere except at her.

MICHAEL
(cont'd)
Better go. I'll be late for class.

He starts to move off.

MARIA
Late for class? When did you ever care
if you were late for class? You're
avoiding me.

MICHAEL
I'm not avoiding you.

MARIA
Oh, the classic signs; not looking me
in the eye, lying about motives...

MICHAEL
Fine. If it'll shut you up. I'm avoiding
you. Watch me continue that thought.

Michael starts to move off. Maria grabs his arm. Her phone
starts to RING.

MARIA
No way. I've been stressing about this
all week. We're dealing with this right
now.

Her phone continues to RING.


A Date to Ditch an FBI Agent

EXT. ROSWELL - MAIN DRAG - DAY

Liz and Max take a casual stroll down the street near the
Crashdown. At least that's what it looks like.

MAX
Just look in the window, like you're
shopping.

They stop in front of a needlepoint store, feign interest.

LIZ
Maybe I could take this up. They say
it's very relaxing.

Stakeout or Makeout?

MARIA'S JETTA

...which is down the block and across the street from Agent
Moss' motel room.

MARIA
How long is this going to last? Us
waiting here like this?

MICHAEL
Why, got a date?

MARIA
Maybe.
(beat)
Do you care?

Michael and Maria Do Mannix

INT. TUMBLEWEED MOTEL ROOM 104 - DAY

MICHAEL
(pissed again))
Just keep looking out the window, would
you?

He crossess over to the desk, shuffles throught the requisite
motel stuff. Finds an empty pad. Takes a pencil and begins to
trace over the top sheet.

MARIA
Clever. You must get "Mannix" on TV
Land, too.

MICHAEL
It's not like I do this all the time!

MARIA
Any baby-sitter worth her salt know to
check out the garbage can first. Always
revealing.
