In Stereo Page #7

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.

a luxury jail cell there.

Just, just come look at it.

No pressure.

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

I miss the laughs we had.

Remember?

We could use some laughs, right?

Just come take a look at it.

When?

Now.

Come on.

Right?

Let's go.

I don't know if I trust you.

You don't trust me?

- I'll see you?

- Yes.

I'll see you, bye, bye you guys.

Hey man.

I'm proud of you, brother.

Thanks.

Bye.

Bye.

Nice to meet you.

Oh my God, I can't believe

that f***ing cocksucker.

F***ing dick.

So...

All right, I'm leaving...

Fine fine fine,

fine, sh*t, I'll, yes,

I will come and see your place.

Hey.

Hold on one second, do you mind?

Thank you so much, thank you.

Oh my God.

Oh my God!

What are you doing here?

That's not what I

wanted to hear, David,

I've been here over an hour.

I don't actually

care what you want

to hear, I really

don't, so do me a favor,

do me a favor, don't

make a big deal, this...

You know what, don't touch me!

All right, all right.

Brenda, what are

you doing here?!

I just came to see the house.

Listen to me, I'm asking you,

I'm trying to be nice, I am, I'm

trying to be nice,

just go home, okay?

Just go home, you f***ed up.

Oh I f***ed up?!

Yes, yes, you f***ed up.

Jesus, I said I'm sorry, David!

Shh, Jen, stop, okay?!

We're done!

Get in the f***ing cab!

No, we're not done!

Listen to me, David, you're

not breaking up with me!

I had my reasons

for getting upset

and baby, I was drinking...

I don't care, okay, you can have

your place, your

wine, your f***ing

awful taste, your time.

You can have it all back!

I don't want it!

Just stay the f*** away from me!

Don't f***ing talk

to me like that!

Jen, you f***ing child...

I'm not going...

Why are you here, Jen?!

Think for one moment

why you're here

and you might realize how little

you actually give a sh*t!

F*** you, David, you're

not breaking up with me.

Oh my, you, you're

f***ing, you're crazy,

you're crazy, I just did.

It's done, it's over, how hard

is that to understand?

Are you f***ing somebody else?

Oh my God, are you, this is...

Are you?

That's funny, Jen,

that's really funny.

Are you, is it her?!

Stop!

Stop!

Okay?!

Get in the cab, Jen.

Go home.

I'm very sorry,

take this, I don't

think she'll pay you

though, thank you;.

Oh wow!

Am I f***ing someone?

Does sleeping with a

schizophrenic count, you think?

I don't know how

to help you here.

Ah, sh*t.

I don't know about this yellow.

You'll be all right, Schiffer.

Will I?

Yeah yeah, of course you will.

Of course you will,

in a larger global

sense I'm actually not sure.

But you need a place

to stay, right?

Things might get

weird, you know,

but I'll tell you what,

we'll put it in writing.

No weird sh*t.

What do you say?

Right?

Do you remember when I was the

one that was saying we

should live together?

Yeah, yeah, I do, I do.

Nothing more certain

to ruin a good

relationship than moving

in together, right?

Yeah, I don't know, I think

this is probably just...

Hey hey hey, yo,

hold the crazy, okay?

Just for a little bit.

Have another one or

two of these first.

Okay, cheers.

Cheers.

I'm glad we came to your place

and not mine.

This is beautiful.

Uh huh.

You know, I've known you for

at least a few months.

You never told me what you do.

That's 'cause I

don't do anything.

What do you mean?

I'm saying where do you work?

I don't work.

Most definitely my father's son.

What does daddy do?

He doesn't do anything.

Okay, wait a minute, so...

He was a rich kid too.

Was?

Yeah, he's dead to me now.

To the rest of us

he's in prison.

Oh, sorry.

What are you sorry about?

I don't know.

Sorry.

I always loved your music.

Yeah.

It's one thing to love music,

but that's a whole other...

No, stop.

What?

Stop with the music nerd sh*t.

Don't do it.

- I don't wanna hear it.

- Just, just cut it out?

Yeah.

So about me living with

Jen, I just wanted...

David...

Let me finish.

I was clearly trying something I

didn't think I was

actually capable of.

I don't know why I

couldn't do it with you.

David...

I freaked out.

I did.

For no good reason,

I don't know why.

Christ, but then with

her, I thought I'd try it.

Dive in, be the good

boyfriend, do it right,

but clearly she's

f***ing insane.

Yeah.

Yeah?

Yeah.

So are you though,

so what's a guy to do?

- In a very different way!

- You know what, no,

you know, listen to me.

I have something to say, okay?

It's totally off the

wall crazy honest

and I'm just gonna

lay it out there.

Lay it out.

The thought had occurred to me

if you and your

crazy schizophrenic

girlfriend ever broke up...

That you and I should enter into

a purely sexual relationship.

What are you doing?

I'm doing something at least.

You're just sitting there like

a load of laundry,

so I'm gonna go.

I'm not, come on...

You know, I don't have to

be here if you don't

want me, Chris!

I do.

What do you want me to do?

It doesn't feel like you do.

Just come on.

Come back.

I'll do a better job

of showing you, okay?

Now you're laughing at me, see?

Forget it!

No, wait, wait.

Does it feel like

I want you here now?

Yes!

I don't!

You do.

Back on the market.

So how did Thomas'

boys do in the

first game of the

West Coast swing?

Unbelievable.

You pathetic f***!

We're drawing up some new

approached in

practice, we're trying

to get back to the fundamentals.

It's a young group of guys with

enormous talent,

we all know that.

Everyone's focused,

on Cinco, last time

I checked there were four

other...

A purely sexual relationship.

Does that surprise you?

Does that excite you?

Does that freak you out, what

the f*** are you thinking?

Exactly when did you

come up with, Brenda?

I don't know!

Okay, because you know we just

ran into each

other last week for

the first time in almost a year,

we haven't seen each other...

I know, I don't

know, I don't know.

I think, I just, I can't get

into this new guy,

I really can't.

And I'm so sick of

faking, of acting,

of the bullshit, I

just, I just wanna

say what I feel, do

you know what I mean?

And I feel like

you were the only

person that I've ever been

able to do that with.

But I don't wanna get back

together with you.

I'm just saying, two people that

hate themselves as much as we do

finding the purist

form of comfort

in one another is the

next best thing, right?

So you can see how,

you know, your generous

offer of roommates

doesn't really jive

with what I'm saying.

All of a sudden this place is

not as spacious anymore.

What do you mean?

Sex with the

person you live with

is a lot like

marriage, God forbid.

No, it's not at all like that.

- Not even close.

- - Yeah.

You know, I can count the number

of happy couples that

I know in one hand.

I don't wanna do that, I don't

wanna be that couple.

I just want sex when I want it.

That's what I want.

But if I live here,

we can't, we just
