(INT.STAIRS/FOYER - CHASE HOUSE.EVENING)

(ANGELA alights the stairs, notes in hand, a curious look on her face. She obviously decides to pretend she heard nothing. JORDAN comes into view.)

ANGELA: Where's Brian?

JORDAN: Uh... he left.

ANGELA: What?! I went all the way upstairs to get his stupid notes. (Beat.) Well, I mean, I've got them now.. hang on, I'll just run them across the road, to his porch. I'll be back.
