Never Been Kissed Page #26

GUY:

Good. I'll see you tonight.

Guy walks off.

GIBBY:

He is totally crunching on you.

JOSIE:

(confused)

Do I want to be crunched?

GIBBY:

By Guy?

GIBBY/KRISTEN/KIRSTEN

Oh yeah.

INT. SUN TIMES ELEVATOR - DAY

CAMERA PANS the faces of some dull-looking workers. It

stops on Josie, who stands out in her teen garb and huge

knapsack. A star struck female WORKER turns to her.

WORKER:

I really loved you in the sex-ed

scene.

Josie reacts.

INT. BULLPEN - CONTINOUS

Josie spills out the elevator and races through the bullpen

with Rhoda in pursuit.

RHODA:

Splendiferous--

Josie stops, turns back to her.

JOSIE:

Totally.

Josie keeps going. A confused Rhoda stares after her. She

passes Merkin's desk. He is still on the phone.

MERKIN:

(into phone)

No way ... Yeah? ... No way.

Josie reaches over, grabs the phone out of his hand and

hangs up without missing a beat. She continues on as Merkin

stares after her. Josie reaches the conference room door.

An older WOMAN runs out crying.

INT. CONFERENCE ROOM - CONTINUOUS

Rigfort presides over a staff meeting. CLOSE UP on stunned

office WORKERS' faces.

RIGFORT:

Alrighty then--next on the agenda-

sack races at the company picnic-

yes or no?

Josie sneaks in. She pushes past workers to get to a chair,

big backpack whacking them as she goes.

JOSIE:

Hi. Sorry I'm late.

(pushing past chairs)

Sorry. Excuse me--

Josie takes the chair next to Anita's. Anita looks her up

and down.

ANITA:

(sotto)

I love that jacket.

RIGFORT:

Miss Geller, what's the status on

your story?

JOSIE:

Oh it's great. Totally Rufus.

Gus and Anita look at each other, both mouthing "Rufus?"

JOSIE:

I have, um--

Josie dumps out her backpack on the table. Teen items spill

out-notebooks, CDs, barrettes, a hacky sac, a Frisbee,

glitter nail polish. She rifles through it all--

JOSIE:

--notes here somewhere-

(picking up paper)

There's my math homework!

RIGFORT:

Geller, I don't need your notes. I

need your story. Though I speak

for everyone when I say I've seen

the tapes. Compelling stuff.

All the workers nod in agreement.

RIGFORT:

But I want a story in two weeks.

I'm saving the "Life and Style"

cover for you. You're gonna make

one hell of a reporter. Oh, and if

you don't, you and Gus are fired.

Josie and Gus react.

RIGFORT:

Now, onto the next order of

business. Marketing department-yes

or no?

EXT. JOSIE'S PARENTS' HOUSE – NIGHT

Beer cans and kids litter the lawn. Josie pulls into the

driveway.

INT. JOSIE'S PARENTS HOUSE – SAME

Josie makes her way through the THRONGS OF KIDS. It's a

big high school "rager" lots of big blue keg cups, drunk

girls, etc. The cool Girls are present and socializing.

Josie finally makes her way to the kitchen.

INT. KITCHEN - SAME

Rob is mixing margaritas, wearing a big sombrero. Tracy

sits on the counter, gazing lovingly at Rob's every move.

JOSIE:

Hey Rob, what's going on?

TRACY:

I'm Rob's prom date.

Josie glares at Rob.

JOSIE:

Really?

(pulling Rob aside)

Rob-, that girl is sixteen.

ROB:

And a gymnast!

JOSIE:

She's sixteen years old, Rob. That's

totally and completely illegal.

Josie feels an arm around her shoulder. It's Guy.

GUY:

Hey there.

JOSIE:

Hey. There.

Guy takes Josie's hand.

GUY:

Come here. I want to ask you

something.

Rob watches them leaving the kitchen.

ROB:

(to Josie, calling

after)

See you around the cellblock, Mrs.

Robinson.

Josie turns around and gives him a death look. Tracy turns

to Rob.

TRACY:

Rob, what do you want to be when

you grow up?

ROB:

Well, a ball player.

TRACY:

No, I know. But, what if you don't

make it? 'I mean, you don t Want

to be working at a mail place the

rest of your life. It's okay for

an after school job, but, come on,

"hi, I'm Rob and I run the Tiki

Post"?! Totally lame.
