Screenplay 3

Random Street. Night Ext.


Lou
Brain Stew.


Stu
Oh. You.

Lou
Still mad obviously.

Stu
Not Mad, Mad. Just mad for an episode. But still mad at you.


Lou
I think that would be overreacting.

Stu
I could smile.

Lou
You look like shit.

Stu
Everyone thinks so.

Lou
And I haven't properly apologized. Umm I paid ya in full already, did I

Stu
No. You still owe me heaps.

Punches him in the shoulder.

Stu
Yes. That should cover it.


Lou
(offers her hand) For real.

Stu
And you're finally admitting that I'm the more brilliant band member.

Lou
Apologies accepted.

Stu
What the fuck. Who could say no to you?

Lou
Did you happen to find that cassette tape of something I made?

Stu
Why don't you use a computer like everybody else?

Lou
I do. But I taped something and I needed the sample.

Stu
I think I have it somewhere.

Lou
You didn't burn it or anything?

Stu
What am I an ex-boyfriend?

Lou
Like a drunken husband.

Stu
I didn't burn it. I thought I made it. Hmmm. You're diggin' my stuff.

Lou
Unintentional. Similarities to your work are just coincidental. Disclaimer

Stu
Like fuck it.

Lou
No. really.

Stu.
I'm just playing. I couldn't have done it myself.

Lou
Well, thank you then. I'm not usually generous with compliments.

Seriously, Do you have it with you?

Stu
What?

Lou
The tape, asshole.

Stu
It's at Macy's.

Lou
Macy? You're girlfriend?

Stu
No. The one with the fanzine.. webpage.. underground mlaaghah (making funny sounds to finish the sentence.)

Lou
(playing) I was jealous for a while.

Stu
Fuck you.

Lou
And how did it end up in her place?

Stu
I always crash there. Leave stuff.

Lou
And what does her boyfriend say.

Stu
She has?

Lou
How should I know asshole. I mean.. People shouldn't be letting you in their apartments. I mean look at you.

Stu
Fuck you. FYI, I'm harmless.

Lou
(Sighing) You are dear. You are

Stu
I'll drop it off your place. I usually get off at 12. So I'll be there, 12-ish?

Lou
Fine. I'll contact you. I'll hunt you down.

Stu
Probably tuesday.


Lou
