MY GIRL Page #10

HARRY:

What's that?

SHELLY:

I'm gonna be putting makeup on some of these

people very soon.

HARRY:

Why d'you think these seats were empty.

OUTSIDE:

THOMAS J:

Can we go yet?

VADA:

Go???

THOMAS J:

You know I'm not allowed outside my myself

after dark.

CLOSE UP AGAIN:

SHELLY:

Oh, I'm just not lucky Harry.

HARRY:

Look, it's not always luck, I mean, depending

upon the placement of the numbers, a guy with

10 cards could win just as easily as a guy

with 100.

SHELLY:

Kinda like men.

HARRY:

Oh, how do you mean?

SHELLY:

You can be in a room with 100 men, and not

like any of them, or you can be in a room with

just one man, and he's exactly the one you

want.

Harry and Shelly are about to kiss each other, Vada sees

this and doesn't look too happy about it

VADA:

(in semi-deep fake voice)

BINGO!

BINGO ANNOUNCER:

We have a winner. Will the winner please

raise their hand?

CARL:

There was no bingo, it came from outside.

VERNON:

How could someone outside get a bingo?

CARL:

Someone outside didn't get a bingo, someone

outside yelled bingo you moron!

VERNON:

Who are you calling a mowon?

(false teeth)

VERNON'S WIFE

Put a lid on it Vernon!

CARL:

Put a lid on it?? If you weren't 200 years

old, I'd kick your wrinkled ARSE!!

The two old men then have a fight, Harry attempts to break

it up

HARRY:

Hey fellers fellers, it's just a bingo game.

Meanwhile, Shelly has found it all rather amusing

OUTSIDE:

VADA:

We can go now.

Vada and Thomas J run off down the street

VADA'S BEDROOM NIGHT, VADA IS LYING ON HER BED THINKING

As she hears Harry's car approaching, she goes to her

window and looks out it through the venetian blinds

OUTSIDE STOPPED CAR

Harry gets out of his side, comes round to the other side

and then hesitates before deciding to follow his brothers

advice and let Shelly get out herself, which she does,

eventually

SHELLY:

I had a good time tonight.

HARRY:

I haven't had a bingo partner in ages.

They walk up to Shelly's camper

SHELLY:

Would you like to come in and see my house?

Just for a minute.

HARRY:

Okay, sure.

They enter, Vada continues to watch them from her room

INSIDE CAMPER, HARRY AND SHELLY ENTER

SHELLY:

Home sweet home.

HARRY:

It's nice.

SHELLY:

I did it myself. I read a magazine article

about how to maximize small spaces.

HARRY:

Well it certainly looks bigger that it seems.

SHELLY:

You can look in the bathroom if you want.

People are always curious about that, like

what happens when you flush.

Harry moved toward the back of the camper and looks in the

bathroom, and then flushes the toilet

HARRY:

Yeah.

SHELLY:

Are you mad at me?

HARRY:

No, why?

SHELLY:

I don't know, tonight you just seemed a

little cool, not opening car doors and...

HARRY:

Oh, that was Phil, trying to give me advice

on dating 70's women. Look I'm so out of

touch, I haven't dated women in ages, not

since my wife died.

SHELLY:

What happened to her?

HARRY:

Ahh, complications during child birth, she

died two days after Vada was born.

SHELLY:

Did she ever see Vada?

HARRY:

I brought the baby into the room a couple of

times, she opened her eyes, yeah, yeah I think

she saw Vada. It was.....

Harry looks at the item that he picked up and was fiddling

with to calm his nerves

Did I ruin this?

SHELLY:

Dance with me?

HARRY:

Here?

SHELLY:

This is where we are.

HARRY:

Is there enough room?

Shelly moves an object from the floor, which creates more

room

HARRY:

I haven't danced in.....

SHELLY:

In ages, I know, me neither.

They begin a slow dance

HARRY:

Rock?

SHELLY:

See, you're not that out of touch.

(they dance)

You're good.

HARRY:

At Widdman High I was considered a pretty hot

date, I did a killer frugue.

Shelly smells Harry's neck

SHELLY:

What are you wearing?

HARRY:

Old Spice, Phil says it's a timeless classic.

They continue to dance

SHELLY:

Do you want to?
