IN THE DISPENSARY Mo Joe watches as Providence and Jennifer confer, then Jennifer waves shyly at him and goes out the door. When Providence rejoins him, in surprise-- MO JOE: Didn't she want to talk to me? (off Providence's silence) I think she wants to talk to me. PROVIDENCE: Not here. I mean now. I guess. (picks up cell phone) I've been racking my brain for ways to use this Alice thing to promote the business. MO JOE: Don't bother. It'll promote itself. As soon as we get the sign up. (as Providence grits her teeth; to Alice) Let's see the sign so far, Alice. (Alice brings it over to the counter. Mo Joe and Providence admire it.) MO JOE: So talented! We can put it in the window while the outside sign is being made. ALICE: Okay. Can I wait on customers? MO JOE: Sure. Right after you finish the sign. PROVIDENCE: (annoyed) Just not behind the counter. Not while I'm here. (Alice sighs and carries the white board away. Providence returns to her phone while Mo Joe operates his laptop. He glances at her, sees her in her bra. She glances at him, sees him shirtless. Then, back in their shirts--) PROVIDENCE: Are you working on your...your thing? MO JOE: My enlightenment thing. I'm looking for ways to communicate the principles of love, freedom, justice and art. (Providence grunts absent-mindedly. Mo Joe glances up and sees an attractive female Customer come in the door. As she browses, Mo Joe types "love" into Google, chooses a page with a picture and information on the goddess Aphrodite.) MO JOE: Hmm. (He reads intensely, his eyes sparkling with imagination. The Customer, LOLA, approaches him at the counter. A beat, then Providence looks over distractedly from her phone.) PROVIDENCE: Can we help you with something? (Mo Joe looks up from his laptop, watches as Lola transforms into the goddess Aphrodite. He closes his laptop. To Mo Joe--) LOLA: I love your store. MO JOE: Thanks. Aphrodite. LOLA: The Greek goddess of love. I haven't heard that name for awhile. MO JOE: What, do you usually get Venus? LOLA: (smiles at the compliment) I'd like a fifty-dollar package of... MO JOE: Of love. Love has no price tag. Love is priceless. (He hands her a package. She opens it, sniffs, smiles and reaches into her purse.) MO JOE: No, no. It's my gift...of love...to you. (She furrows her brow, looks at Providence, who eyes Mo Joe sternly. To Lola--) PROVIDENCE: Just...can I see your ID? LOLA: I get it. This is like a deal for first-time customers. PROVIDENCE: That's right. LOLA: Wow. That's...almost worth the come-on. LOLA: (back in her street clothes, provides her driver's license. Providence checks it, nods and smiles. Mo Joe takes a cell phone picture of it, hands it back. Lola picks up her license and package, smiles ironically at Providence and goes. PROVIDENCE: Mo Joe! You can't just be giving away fifty-dollar packages of product. MO JOE: Don't worry. What she gave me is worth a whole lot more than fifty dollars. (Providence rolls her eyes in frustration as Mo Joe opens up his laptop and starts to type furiously. Picking up her phone again, to herself--) PROVIDENCE: Got to come up with something... Clear
