Episode Four.
INT. DERRIA’S DORM - DAY
CONTINUATION OF EPISODE BEFORE.
DERRIA opens her eyes to see ZOE lunging towards her. While ZOE is strangling DERRIA with her hands, she is expressionless, always a soldier.
Considering DERRIA was coming out of a drug induced sleep she was unprepared and is still letting ZOE strangle her. When she comes back to her senses she throws ZOE off of her by pushing hard against her shoulders and kicking her backwards with either foot connecting with ZOE’S hip bones (NOT HER STOMACH).
Just before ZOE looks like she is going to slam into the wall DERRIA stops her. ZOE is a little stunned that DERRIA didn’t let her hit the wall.
ZOE: What d’you do that for?
DERRIA: Just a feelin I guess.
ZOE: You always get feelings when people are tryin to kill you?
DERRIA: Things always been trying to kill me, gotta make do with what you get.
The girls pause for a moment but are still standing as though the other could attack at any moment.
DERRIA: Why you so angry at me? I don’t wanna fight you. I don’t wanna fight no one here.
ZOE: Well life’s not really always that fair, you think someone like you would know that by now. (Beat) You were talkin in your sleep. Do you remember what you were dreaming about?
DERRIA: You’re all angry beatin up on me because of my dreaming?
Zoe doesn’t answer.
DERRIA CONT: It was a man, um holding a baby and apologising. You were (gestures the kneading motion with her hands because she can’t remember the word)
ZOE: Washing?
DERRIA: Baking. Simon and the tall grunty one were green and other things that don’t matter. (beat) OH River was there...
ZOE: River?
DERRIA cautiously nods incase she has said something wrong and watches as ZOE automatically leaves the room. Rubbing her neck a little DERRIA can hear ZOE talk into comms outside the dorm.
ZOE: (O.S.)River can you please come down……
INT. DORM HALLWAY - DAY
RIVER is already standing at the end of the dorm hallway looking at ZOE. The pair say nothing ZOE
