Dakota Skye Page #2

Synopsis: For as long as she could remember, Dakota Skye has been cursed with a super power. She has the ability to see the truth in any lie she hears. From small, harmless white lies, to the more devious kind, they have come from the people that she should trust the most; her family, friends and teachers. These lies have snowballed, leading to her becoming bitter and apathetic towards the world around her. Now seventeen, Dakota just watches the world happen around her, unmotivated to join it. She has a boyfriend who plays in a semi-popular local rock band and her best friend from childhood, but finds little joy in her own life. One day, Jonah comes into town. It only takes a few days before Dakota notices something about him that sets him apart from the other people in her life. He doesn't lie. Through her friendship with Jonah, her eyes are opened to the world around her and she sees that there is something out there more than all the lies. There is a possibility of something different... some

I got to piss. Could you scoot?

Thanks.

You piss more than a girl.

Well, f*** me with a stiff midget.

Yo, T!

Holy sh*t, dude!

When the f*** did you get in town?

How did I know

I'd find you a**holes here?

Broadway Danny Rose.

- Hey.

- Good to see you.

You too, man.

Good to see you, Terry.

Oh, Jonah! it's been so long!

Yeah, yeah. How you been?

- Oh, good, good.

- Nice.

This is um...uh...f***...Beth,

and this is my girlfriend Dakota.

- Girls, I give you Jonah Moreno.

- Nice to meet you!

It's a pleasure.

Hey, Heather! Cup of coffee?

Sure thing, Jonah.

Black?

This is so weird.

- When did you get into town?

- Uh, last night.

- I started driving Sunday.

- You drove across country?

This kid's crazy.

Jonah's from New York.

My name is Jonah,

and I'm a starving actor.

Jonah's, like, one

of my best friends, too.

I thought I was your best friend.

You are, baby.

How long are you in town for?

Tell I get sick of you fucks.

Ha-ha. That's my boy.

I was looking to get

into some trouble tonight.

You guys got to do anything

tomorrow morning?

Dude, f*** that. I'm down.

Let's go get lifted. We'll drop off

Dakota on the way home.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

- You think Bobby would be down?

- Dude, Bobby's always f***ing down.

- Good night.

- 'Night.

It's nice meeting you, Dakota.

Yeah, you too.

What are you guys gonna do tonight?

God damn It. It's hot.

Hey!

Hey. What are you doing here?

Kev called. He said band practice

is going really well.

He didn't want to break it off.

Get in the car.

I'll take you over to Jacob's.

No, you don't have to do that.

It's fine.

Don't be retarded.

Okay.

Thanks.

So, you guys had fun last night?

So high.

I'd never seen that look on Kevin's

face until you walked in the door.

What look was that?

Joy.

That was just stoner anticipation.

I don't think so.

Are you f***ing my boyfriend?

No!

You have a girl back East?

Nothing serious. Just...

I don't know.

No one that makes me--

Horny?

Happy? Hungry?

No. Plenty of that.

I don't know.

No one that makes me...

...vibrate, I guess.

Vibrate?

You know,

when you're with someone,

you just want to be filled up

with this, this energy,

you know, you just want to...

I don't know.

You gotta vibrate.

I guess.

I know. I don't bullshit, right?

Not at all.

So, how long have you

and Kevin been going out?

That's got to be a record for him.

Me, too.

So, what's he calling the new band?

Brookhaven Three.

Aren't there 4 people in his band?

I don't know. I don't get it, either.

Well, I'm glad to see

he's still playing.

Yeah, they sound

pretty good, actually.

But don't tell him I said that,

because I'm trying really hard

to appear apathetic.

We were in a band in high school.

Did he tell you that?

Dude, up until the other day,

I didn't even know you existed.

Well, we sucked. I sucked.

- Really?

- Yeah, believe me.

I do.

Stop. Dude, stop.

Jacob, stop! What, are you deaf?

Dude, are you f***ing deaf?

I'm sorry.

F***.

Well?

That sucked.

Yeah, I know, dude.

It's our second go at it.

We'd be better if our f***ing drummer

could keep up with the beat.

You guys know any covers?

I mean, maybe you

could get some wedding gigs.

Oh, keep laughing over there,

Dakota.

You'll be laughing real hard

when I'm balls deep in groupies!

- Oh, we got a show on Sunday.

- I'll be there.

F***, yeah, you'll be there. You guys

want to hear some better sh*t?

- Do you have anything better?

- F*** you. Say yes.

All right, b*tches. Try to keep up.

That means you.

"Dearest Dakota,

at the conference until Friday.

There's cash in the usual spot,

and I love you. Mom. "

- What are you gonna get?

- I don't know yet.

I don't know what I want.

You're gonna get

the chili cheeseburger plate

and the vanilla Coke --

that's what you always get.

That's not true.

Yes, it is.

You always think you're

gonna get something different,

but when Heather

comes over here you still say

"chili cheeseburger plate

and a vanilla Coke"-- every time.

Well, maybe tonight

I'll get something different.

I used to love this place...

more than my own home.

You guys still like it here?

Dude, it's Jim's.

You?

Yeah, sure, I guess.

I don't know, man.

You can't even smoke here anymore.

Hey, kids.

You're eating with us tonight?

Yeah, I want hash browns.

And a chocolate shake.

And how about you, special guy?

Chili cheeseburger? Vanilla Coke?

- Uh, yeah.

- Amazing.

- De Niro?

- Biscuits and gravy.

- Can I get a fill-up on the coffee?

- Absolutely. Be right back.

Thank you, Heather.

Love that girl.

Good night.

Good night, Dakota.

Good night, uh...

Okay, Skye, there's got to be

a logical explanation.

So, he hasn't lied once

In the 2 days

that you've known him.

This doesn't mean anything.

He'll lie soon enough.

I'm sure he's just like the rest of us.

Ambulatory is to Mobile

as Fruitful is to:

Nefarious, Fertile, Munificent,

or Pernurious?

Fertile!

Good. Okay, Dakota...

intrepid is to Valorous

as Multitudinous is to:

Prostrate, Flagrant,

Plethoric, or Static?

- Are you speaking English?

- Come on. Try it.

I don't know any of those words.

Okay. Well, just think

of their relation to each other.

Intrepid is to Valorous

as Multitudinous is to...

"B. "

No, sorry. It's "C. "

Damn it all to hell!

I'm not fit to live among men!

Dakota, you just

have to try and study--

Um, maybe we should

take a break, okay,

and we'll pick this back up

at Denise's later.

Thank Christ.

I want to touch

I want to kiss

I want to feel so close to this

Is there any way

That someone could feel the same

If I promised them everything...

You look like sh*t.

- Yeah. I'm okay.

- What did you guys do last night?

Just f***ed around.

Smoked a little pot, went to Noel's,

played some video games, whatever.

We were just hung out and

stayed there last night, you know?

His floor is, like,

crazy uncomfortable, though.

It sucks.

Wow, that sounds like a lot of fun.

Whatever.

Hey, I can't stay out late

tonight, all right? I got to study.

That's cool.

F*** this.

Time to get this guy to lie.

So, do you watch a lot of porn?

A sizable amount, I guess.

Why?

'Cause I was over

at Bobby and Noel's,

and they were watching this porn

about these Asian girls

and a dildo that can only

be described as epic,

and it was really gross.

They said that they knew that, though,

that they thought that it was gross

that they watched it

because it was funny.

- They're lying.

- No sh*t.

Really?

Porn is purely functional.

It's not entertainment.

It's functional?

Yeah, porn has a singular purpose

in its existence.

It's a tool, an aid, a catalyst

in the act of pleasuring yourself.

Jerking off for guys is so casual.

It's like, you know, we don't

want to be bogged down

coming up with some sort

of scenario or something.

Pop in a video, open a magazine,

stream it online --

bam, done,

on with the rest of your day.

- What?
