Holden's at a loss. Alyssa slips past the Woman,
carrying an overnight bag.
ALYSSA:
Don't mind her. That's just her way a
saying hello.
WOMAN:
Actually, it's just my way of saying
"Give it up."
ALYSSA:
(to Woman)
You're such an a**hole.
WOMAN:
When you file the date-rape charges,
don't say I didn't warn you.
HOLDEN:
(holding out hand)
I'm Holden, by the way.
WOMAN:
I'm the voice of reason that Miss
B*tch is having such a hard time
listening to.
HOLDEN:
Look, we're just friends.
WOMAN:
That's what every guy says before he
tries purring your hand on his dick.
HOLDEN:
And how do you know men so well?
WOMAN:
Because I lapdance for a living, dick-
head.
She slams the door. Holden looks to Alyssa.
ALYSSA:
Ohhh - you look so cute!
She heads down the stairs.
HOLDEN:
Who was that?
ALYSSA:
Just an occasional friend.
HOLDEN:
Why would you want to hang our with
someone bitter as that?
ALYSSA:
(stops)
Remember this!
(sticks out huge tongue)
Her's is even bigger than that.
She smiles and continues on. Holden looks back up at the
door. He sticks his own tongue our and sizes it with his
fingers.
EXT TURNPIKE - DAY
The car sits in traffic.
INT CAR - DAY
Holden sighs. Alyssa plays with the radio.
ALYSSA:
You were raised Catholic, right?
HOLDEN:
Yeah. You?
ALYSSA:
Baptist.
HOLDEN:
Really? Did you have a strict
upbringing?
ALYSSA:
Please There was no time to be bad -
we were too busy saying 'Jesus'.
HOLDEN:
You think your upbringing had
something to do with your lifestyle
choice?
ALYSSA:
Somewhere along the line. It's a
gradual transition to make - from
doing what the majority does to taking
a leap of faith and doing what feels
more natural. Everything helps - from
the way you were handled as a kid, to
the way the boys acted in third grade,
to the shoes you wore at your freshman
prom.
HOLDEN:
Shoes?
ALYSSA:
Well they were really tight.
With the requisite music, over which we hear a
conversation between Holden and Alyssa.
1) Holden and Alyssa sit in the DINER eating. Holden's
talking. The Waitress walks past and drops her pad. She
bends over, to pick it up, hiking her mini-skirt up in
the process. Alyssa stares at her ass. Holden stops
talking and stares at her. Alyssa looks over at him and
offers a caught smile.
2) Holden pushes a shopping cart at the FOOD STORE,
throwing various things into the basket. Alyssa comes up
with a box of Tampons and throws them in. Holden glances
at them, a bit flushed. Alyssa catches him, picks up the
box, and pulls one out. She proceeds to demonstrate
their usage, throwing one leg on the can and miming
insertion. Holden puts up his hands in the "I know, I
know," fashion.
3) In the Studio, Holden displays some of his artwork to
Alyssa, during which she pulls out a cigarette and goes
to light it. It's a child-proof lighter, so she's having
trouble. Holden grows a little frustrated. Finally, he
grabs the lighter and pulls the child proof tab out with
his teeth. Alyssa stares at him a bit taken aback.
Holden spits the tab out, and lights Alyssa's smoke. He
then continues with his display.
4) Holden and Alyssa at the COMIC BOOK STORE. Steve-Dave
and the Fan-Boy eye them suspiciously. Alyssa pays for a
comic. Steve-Dave glowers at Holden. He gives Alyssa
her change and they exit. Steve-Dave goes back to his
card game with the Fan-Boy. Suddenly, a garbage can
comes crashing through their window. Steve-Dave rips a
check off the garbage can and punches the counter. The
Fan-Boy rubs his back soothingly,
5) Holden and Alyssa walk through a PARKING LOT, talking.
She takes his hand and pulls his arm around her shoulder.
Holden smiles to himself.
HOLDEN V.O.
Let me ask you something - we get
along, right?
ALYSSA V.O.
Famously.
HOLDEN V.O.
We have a definite chemistry?
ALYSSA V.O.
So it would seem.
HOLDEN V.O.
But we're both into girls.
ALYSSA V.O.
I'm into women.
HOLDEN V.O.
But you weren't always gay.
ALYSSA V.O.
When I was nine I had a crush on Scott
Baio.
HOLDEN V.O.
So If we'd met a long time ago, say in
high school...
ALYSSA V.O.
...I'd still be muff-diving, yes.
HOLDEN V.O.
Thought so.
INT STUDIO - DAY
Holden and Banky play EA Sports Hockey on Sega. There's
a knock at the door.
HOLDEN:
Come in.
Alyssa enters and stands besides them, smiling at their
game.
ALYSSA:
I read somewhere that guys who play
hockey are merely making up for penile
deficiencies by carrying big sticks.
BANKY:
I thought you lived in the city? This
is like the umpteenth time I've seen
you here. Isn't that grounds enough
for the little pink mafia to throw you
out of their club?
HOLDEN:
(hits Banky; to Alyssa)
I'll be ready in a second.
I just have to school this mouthy
second-stringer.
BANKY:
B*tch, you're schooling no one.
They play. Cut back and forth between the game and
Banky, Holden, and Alyssa.
HOLDEN:
(off game)
What? Do something!
BANKY:
(off game)
You f***ing cock-teaser. I'll knock
your f***ing teeth out and pass all
over your ass.
HOLDEN:
Look at how slow you are. Christ, you
move like a geriatric.
BANKY:
(screaming at screen)
F***! You F***ing cock-sucker, man!
These faggots won't do what I tell
them to!
HOLDEN:
Oh. It's the controller, right? It's
always the controller.
BANKY:
No, it's these... f***ing queers on
blades that can't accept a f***ing
pass to save their lives! What period
is this?
HOLDEN:
Final sixty of the third.
BANKY:
F***! Look at your f***ing guys,
they... F***!!!
(whips controller)
F***ING COCK SUCKER, MAN! I SWEAR TO
GOD!
Banky storms away. Alyssa looks at Holden,
HOLDEN:
Imagine if I'd only beaten him by one
instead of thirty.
INT SKEE-BALL ARCADE - DAY
Holden feeds a couple dollars into the change machine.
Alyssa looks on.
ALYSSA:
Explain this again.
HOLDEN:
How could you have grown up down the
shore and never played skee-ball?
What did you do with your youth?
They head toward the skee-ball runs.
ALYSSA:
Stayed out late, smoked pot, screwed
around.
HOLDEN:
Not your grade school years; your high
school years.
ALYSSA:
(off skee-ball run)
This looks complicated.
HOLDEN:
(Inserts coin and pulls
lever)
The premise is very basic - you roll
the ball up the ramp at varying
speeds, in an effort to pop it into
the score circles. The higher the
score, the more prize tickets you get.
ALYSSA:
What do you do with the prize tickets?
HOLDEN:
Trade them in for prizes that aren't
worth nearly as much as you paid to
play the game.
ALYSSA:
Then what's the point?
HOLDEN:
It's fun.
ALYSSA:
And you question my lifestyle.
HOLDEN:
Observe.
Holden rolls the ball. It pops into a twenty point
circle.
HOLDEN:
See? It's just that simple.
ALYSSA:
Why not just walk up there and put it
HOLDEN:
Where's the skill in that?
ALYSSA:
Oh, this is a skill? I'm sorry, I had
no idea.
