In Stereo Page #6

Synopsis: David and Brenda are perfect for each other, and everyone knows it except David and Brenda. After they break up, due to mutual immaturity, they voyage through a romantic Purgatory that shakes both of them to their core, until they realize what's apparent, and work out a design for being together that they refuse to call "being together". A sharply observed, dark comedy about the complexity of modern relationships, In Stereo is a humorous look into the lives of confused 30 somethings trying to figure it all out.

Yeah, the other thing, I

was just at the gallery

and the photos on

the wall were not

the photos we

agreed on, my dear,

so what the hell

are these photos?

Call me.

Hey, where are you?

Did you have a shoot today?

I wanted to take

you to breakfast,

call me back.

I wanted to talk to you, I know

you're upset about the

whole phone thing, babe.

I wanted to make it up to you.

I hope you're not...

Anyway, also, where's

the espresso machine?

David, call me back.

F***!

F***er!

You took that

place just in time.

You all moved in?

Not even close.

Of course.

By the way, the

place is amazing,

it's beautiful,

but can I actually

afford it, Trisha, honestly?

It's in your range.

Barely.

Don't worry about

it, I made a deal

with the owner, I gave

him a few pieces he likes.

Awesome, thank you.

After tonight though, you'll

probably be able to

afford it for a year.

Yeah, people are circling.

You really managed to poke

everybody in the

eye with this stuff,

David, so nice going.

Smoke and mirrors, Trisha.

Smoke and mirrors.

Right.

See how being an a**hole to

people did pay off.

Indeed.

About time I finally

made you some money

though, right?

So...

What'd she do?

Tell me how you just up

and left after a fight.

Well in her case, I was

definitely not the

a**hole, not at all.

Huh.

Well you got the picture.

It's a great shot.

She's f***ing somebody else.

What?

Yeah, she's f***ing

somebody else.

David, she is an emotional

eight year old, and

you knew that going in,

but she's young and she's hot,

and you're a man.

No...

She said she loves you.

Yeah.

Yeah, what are you gonna do?

I am gonna drink, and then

I'm gonna mingle

for a little bit.

Right on.

Or maybe not, I'm not feeling

very confident at the moment,

sorta rattled, so maybe

I'll just sit here.

God, honey, do you have any idea

how many women in this room

will go out with you tonight?

How many?

Ugh, I'm so bored.

Why do they serve wine

at something like this?

Just makes you wanna

dance and have fun.

All there is to do is

look at these pictures.

You look so funny in the one

of you at the bar.

What's wrong?

Why don't you spend some

time with your boyfriend?

Instead of acting

like a sorority girl.

Mind your f***ing distance.

Hi.

Hi.

Do you...

Like the...

The photography?

Yeah, I do, I like

the photography.

Do you?

Hmmm.

I must say, I find

the work to be very...

Troubled.

You must say.

Troubled.

I think troubled's

an understatement.

My name's Greg.

Brenda.

Brenda.

It's a sexy name.

- Something funny?

- I'm sorry, no, I just...

Do you come here often?

Oh, I'm...

Sorry, I just always

wanted to say that.

What do you do, Greg?

Oh, I'm in a...

I have to go spy on someone.

Hi.

Yo.

What up?

One hour.

You made it.

Oh my God, let's

get out of here.

Go where?

Come here, come here.

How much longer do I have to

stand around and watch people

talk about my work?

Just a little while longer

at least, David, please.

Okay.

Hey, oh my God, look at this.

The barb beating

them off with a stick.

Yeah?

Yeah.

I think my head might pop off

my f***ing neck, so catch it

if it does, can

you do that for me?

Yeah, I'll catch your head.

Awesome.

Hey, how are you,

it's been awhile.

Yeah.

How you doing?

Good, yeah.

Hey.

Oh my God.

Hi.

Hi.

I didn't wanna

interrupt, you know?

I just wanted to say

I'm proud of you, babe.

And I hope that we could talk

about everything.

What's up?

Hey, I think we're

getting ready to go.

Getting ready to go where?

We're going to dinner, right?

Oh, I didn't know.

That's because I

didn't invite ya,

that's why you didn't know, and

so don't make a scene please.

That's just f***ing rude.

Hey, I...

Don't touch me, David.

Okay, okay, okay.

God, f*** you!

Bullshit!

She just cannot

help herself, can she?

You're not going after her?

I'm not what?

Not gonna go after her?

I, Chris, why don't

you go after her,

why you even ask me that?

- Hey.

- What?

What the hell are you doing?

We haven't hung out in awhile,

why don't you just let her sober

up, she'll be fine, okay?

Yeah, perfect, I'm good.

Awesome, let's go

have a good time.

Hey, Pam, how are ya.

You look beautiful by the way.

Well the hell is

going on with you two?

That's what I wanna know.

Comes and goes.

It's good to see you, babe.

You're like a lovely

ray of moonlight.

Bouncing around in the dark,

choppy f***ing

polluted shark infested

waters of the Atlantic.

Wow!

Hey.

What's up, bro?

How are you?

Let's go grab a drink.

Yeah, I'll be

back in a couple minutes.

See, my best friend had

an aunt in Hawaii, too.

Oh really?

I'll be right back.

Hey.

I'm just sitting here thinking.

That's good.

I mean I didn't really ask you,

but thank you for

letting me know.

How are you, David?

Ah, you know, my girlfriend's

f***ing my best friend,

how are you, Brenda?

What?!

Are you...

Seriously, so good.

Thank you.

I'm sorry, what?

Yeah.

I don't want, you know what,

how about you?

Let's not talk about me.

You got a boyfriend now, right?

- No, not at all.

- - You don't?

Right.

Why didn't you bring him?

I didn't want to, no...

So Chris is f***ing Jen?

Yeah.

And you're just hanging out

like everything's fine?

You sound like my shrink now.

Wow.

And you and Jen

are working it out?

Does it look like we're

working it out, Brenda?

You just called

her your girlfriend.

Did I?

Yeah, you did.

No, no, we're

not working it out.

Anyway, they don't know

that I know what I know.

I think they suspect,

but I'm gonna

let it ride for a little

bit, watch them squirm.

Oh my God.

That sounds fun.

What I did do is move the f***

out in record time.

You lived together.

Wow.

Yeah, but it wasn't...

I'm sorry.

You don't have to be sorry,

come on, that's ancient

history, it's all good.

Speaking of which...

My current living situation...

Yeah?

I have this amazing

month to month

great deal, except

there's a slight chance

that they might take

it away from me.

And of course they

took it away from me.

- That sucks.

- Yeah.

So where are you...

I don't know, I don't know.

I may stay with Laurie.

Uh huh, Laurie.

I may have to ask the dude,

but I really don't want to.

There's no way I'm gonna find a

place before I have to move out,

so I don't know.

I don't know.

Stay with me.

What?

Excuse me?

At my new, big, empty,

lonely, fancy place.

Seriously, I have two

extra rooms, it's huge.

Ask Trisha, she's the one

that set it up for me.

I can't use all

that f***ing space,

I don't know what to do with it.

What's that?

What, what's that look?

No, no, I'm gonna

stay with Laurie.

I think that's a better idea.

I'm saying move on, not just

crash for awhile,

make it your own.

Just pay whatever you

paid at your old place.

David...

Brenda.

What about all my stuff?

Your stuff?

Yeah.

Bring it, bring it, bring

all that, I got nothing,

literally nothing, it's like
