Prologue
EXT. NEW YORK CITY MARBLE CEMETERY - DAY
CASEY STAR, 22, is seen wearing all black at a gravesite. Her eyes were swollen with tears as she stared at the markers of where her parents were recently buried. Her boyfriend, ARTHUR CUMBERLAND, 23, approaches her, placing his hand on her shoulder.
ARTHUR
Hey, princess.
CASEY
It was supposed to be one of the best weeks of my life - now that I’ve graduated from college, and now it’s the second-worst week of my life; the first was them crashing the car and the doctor telling me that I was the sole survivor. There’s no way I’ll have my student loans paid. I don’t even have a roof over my head anymore. The house got repossessed after they died, and I can’t afford to live on my own.
A beat, then…
ARTHUR
Well, you can come live with me.
CASEY
For real?
ARTHUR
Yeah. I got plenty of space in my apartment.
CASEY
(hugging ARTHUR)
Aww, thanks, babe! But what about rent?
ARTHUR
I got you.
Casey nods and smiles.
