Ghost World Page #3

REBECCA:

Hi.

ENID:

Look at these people behind you.

I'm totally convinced they're

Satanists.

REBECCA:

Why?

ENID:

Just look at them!

REBECCA turns and makes eye contact with MR. SATANIST. She

calmly turns back to face Enid before cracking up.

REBECCA:

So, when are we going to start looking

for our apartment?

ENID:

Soon... I have to wait and see how

this Summer class goes.

REBECCA:

Did you sign up yet?

ENID:

Yeah, I just picked the one that

sounded the easiest.

REBECCA:

God, it's so weird that we're finally

out of high school... We've been

waiting for this our whole life! Now

we can get our own apartment and do

anything we want. It's such a weird

feeling.

ENID:

I know, it hasn't really hit me yet.

Enter JOHN ELLIS, an obnoxious young man with a perpetual

smirk.

JOHN:

Well, if it isn't Enid and Rebecca,

the little Jewish girl and her Aryan

friend.

ENID:

You're late, a**hole.

JOHN:

Fine, and how are you?

ENID:

Did you bring that tape?

He puts a videotape on the table, just out of reach.

JOHN:

You never paid me for that tape with

the Indian dance routine.

ENID:

I did too!

JOHN:

Tsk! You Jews are so clever with

money...

ENID:

F*** you, you stupid redneck hick!

REBECCA:

Hey, look, the satanists are leaving!

ENID:

We should follow them!

As the SATANISTS walk outside, they open umbrellas, even

though it's a bright, sunny day.

REBECCA:

Totally... Oh my God, look!

The girls get up to follow them. Enid grabs the videotape.

ENID:

(to John)

Thanks for the tape - I'll have to

pay you later, I'm broke.

JOHN:

Hey, where are you going?

ENID:

Later, "Dude".

REBECCA:

Much later.

ENID:

In fact, never.

EXT. QUALITY CAFE - DAY

Under harsh, glaring sunshine, the girls follow a half-block

behind the SATANISTS.

REBECCA:

What do you do if you're a satanist,

anyway?

ENID:

You know, sacrifice virgins and

stuff...

REBECCA:

That lets us off the hook.

EXT. ACROSS FROM WOWSVILLE - TEN MINUTES HAVE PASSED

The SATANISTS continue slowly along with Enid & Rebecca still

following.

ENID:

Maybe there's some weird secret

satanic society that meets at the

Quality Cafe and all of the other

regular customers are in on it except

for us.

REBECCA:

Or maybe not.

ENID:

Maybe they're slowly poisoning us or

they're planning to brainwash us and --

REBECCA:

Okay, okay!

EXT. WOWSVILLE DINER - CONTINUOUS

ENID:

Hey, look at this...

Enid points at the mini-mall in front of them. A new

restaurant - we see their banner: "GRAND OPENING. WOWSVILLE -

THE AUTHENTIC 50'S DINER".

ENID:

"Authentic 50's diner"? Since when

were there mini-malls in the 1950's?

REBECCA:

God, it's so totally pathetic.

INT. WOWSVILLE DINER - DAY

They're in a booth looking at menus. It's a less accurate

version of "Johnny Rockets". A golden oldie from the 80's

plays on the jukebox.

REBECCA:

Who can forget this great hit from

the 50's?

ENID:

I feel as though I've stepped into a

time warp!

The WAITER approaches. He has an ostentatious 70's-style

perm.

REBECCA:

Check out the awesome "fifties" hairdo

on the waiter.

WAITER:

Hi, my name is Allen, and I'll be

your waiter this afternoon.

ENID:

Hi, Al!

REBECCA:

Can we call you "Weird Al"?

WAITER:

Heh heh. Our specials today are pasta

Vasilio, which is a pasta salad with

a light basil vinaigrette--
