      Premium Life:

      a Millionaire Pseudocide

      INT. HOTEL/RECEPTION. DAY

      Halley (45) executive dressed but not neatly, goes to reception to check out

      TV announces the crash of flight 633 on the News behind the receptionist in mute.

      RECEPTIONIST

      Would you like to pay with the credit card that you booked your reservation with?

      HALLEY

      (Thinking)

      No, I’ll settle in cash. Did I run up any fees?

      RECEPTIONIST

      No Mrs. Johnson, breakfast is complementary. Here is your receipt.

      Halley pays in cash and drops the flight 633 ticket on the floor. Someone notices it.

      RECEPTIONIST

      Thank you for your stay in our hotel. Have a wonderful day.

      HALLEY

      Thanks.

      Halley goes out quickly.

      The Bellboy picks the airline ticket up and shows it to the receptionist. She realizes that it is in Halley’s name and tells the bellboy get her attention.

      EXT.VALET PARKING. DAY

      The bellboy runs up to her and hands her ticket.

      BELLBOY

      Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Johnson ... your ticket.

      HALLEY

      (surprised)

      Thanks.

      Halley continues on and walks out to the street.

      EXT. SPORT STORE. DAY

      Halley enters the sporting goods store, then leaves having changed into a sports outfit with dark glasses and a cap.

      EXT. SQUARE. DAY

      Halley walks towards an ice cream vendor in the square.

      A paper boy is walking around. She looks at the front page: Airliner Crashes into the Sea.

      She talks to the ice cream vendor who points her in one direction.

      She buys an ice cream, walks around, sits on a bench in the square, opens her wallet and sees a photo of her family. She drops the photo on the ground face down. She picks it up and see her Daughter DENISE (16) with her wearing a basketball uniform.

      FLASHBACK:

      EXT. BASKETBALL COURT DAY

      Halley and DENISE (15) are playing an intense game of one-on-one both physically and mentally.

      Some trash-talk on both sides…

      Halley shoots a sky hook and scores.

      HALLEY

      Like that one? That’s my pterodactyl shot!

      Denise makes an crossover move. Halley recovers and stays in front of her. Both jump to the hoop. Denise scores

      DENISE

      So, you’re saying you’re a dinosaur? Not today, grandma!!!

      HALLEY

      I’ll give you a shot

      DENISE

      Oh, so generous!

      Halley almost steals the ball. Denis makes a fake to the left and shoots her fadeaway.

      HALLEY

      If you clang it, you lose!

      Denise scores

      DENISE

      The LA Sparks’ old lady tryouts start next week! You should go!

      HALLEY

      Ooooh! Someone likes to talk smack!! Watch this!!!

      Halley makes a jab step and sinks the three.

      DENISE

      Alright, Let’s see if you can d me up?

      Denise makes double crossovers and dunks it. Halley is annoyed

      HALLEY

      Eurostep is travelling, y’know? But they never call it in the NBA. Your mamma was recruited by the Lady Vols. Don’t you forget it!!

      On the last shot, Halley gives her a hard foul, but Denis keeps going, changes hands in midair, and scores.

      DENISE

      Well Ms. Rocky Top wannabe, you just got sauced!!!

      HALLEY

      Damn! I want a rematch.

      DENISE

      Maybe tomorrow. I don’t want you to break your hip.

      PRESENT:

      INT. DENISE'S ROOM/HALLEY’S HOUSE. DAY

      A Room decorated with posters of WNBA Players, basketball, a mini basket ring.

      Denise (16) passes the basketball to her friend Tonya (15).

      DENISE

      When I beat my ma' at triple O's (One-on-one)for the first time, I felt I could beat anyone… But now… without her, I feel like a newborn baby, my fears and insecurities had vanished, but now they came back… I can't focus for shit now that she’s gone I miss her a lot.

      TONYA

      I'll be by your side, buddy. I know you’re workin' through it. I'll help you get through. OK? Why not go out and play? Get some sun? Then I'll treat you to an ice cream. Just like your ma' did. What d'ya say?)

      DENISE

      Thanks, thanks for hangin’ by me ... okay let's go.

      Denise and Tonya leave the room with the ball.
