A Day in Fiance (Student Film)
imshadow007 for Sue [soo]
(Caucasian female, 30s) She is a pretty cool housewife. Her husband left his lunch at home so she scaled a hundred-story building just to bring it to him. She’s badass and funny, yet she has the voice of a typical housewife. A medium/high soft voice.
Devon’s wife, SUE (30s F), appears behind Randy, standing, out of breath. She is disheveled and there’s rips all over her clothing.
Excuse me
SUE
RANDY
(to Sue)
Lady, I’m in the middle of talking! (to everyone)
...are just so unprofessional. As an ex-law student, I follow the words of famous lawyer Ella Woods
SUE
The girl from Illegally Blonde?
RANDY
Can I help you?!
Yes.
SUE
Devon recognizes her, standing up.
DEVIN
(astounded)
Sue? What’re you doing here? How
did you get in here?
SUE
Oh, it was a brutal journey. I had
to call a few people, put together
a team, kick a bird... but long
story short, you might need a new
window.
She gestures to the window behind her. There is a giant hole carved into it as if a spy had broken in. Everyone is indifferent to this extreme measure.
SUE
(casual)
Anyway, since you weren’t answering
your cell, I figured you’d be
working late and need this.
She holds up a greasy, dripping brown bag. All eyes are on Devon. It’s so quiet a pin can be heard dropping. Devon awkwardly scratches his head with a NERVOUS CHUCKLE. He is sweating bullets. Awkward.

SUE
You left your lunch home again,
babe, and I know how you get when
you’re hangry so I thought to
surprise you at work! Are you
surprised?
Randy PLOPS his head on the table, shocked. Everyone else is furious. Devon is embarrassed.
(slow)
DEVIN
Oopsie. My bad.
SUE
Is this a bad time?
With bags under their eyes, everyone stares down Sue, except for Devon. She takes note of their tired and messy appearances.
SUE
Ya know... I’ll just be... over
there.
