Never Been Kissed Page #27

Tracy starts to giggle. Rob does not.

INT. UPSTAIRS HALLWAY - CONTINUOUS

Guy and Josie stand in front of Josie's old room. A bicycle

license plate that says-"JOSIE" is nailed to the door. She

stands in front of it.

JOSIE:

Maybe we should go in a different

room?

GUY:

I already checked. There are some

pretty serious couples in there.

Guy reaches for the doorknob.

INT. JOSIE'S OLD BEDROOM - CONTINUOUS

They go in. Josie sees her spelling bee trophies- with her

name. She turns them around, trying to appear nonchalant.

As Guy enters, he eyes the trophies, the stuffed animals,

the many sets of encyclopedias.

GUY:

Wow, Rob's sister must be such a

loser.

Josie manages a weak smile. Guy sits on the bed.

GUY:

Come here, sit down.

She sits on the bed, and then sees a picture of her and

her family on the bedside table. She dives across the bed

to overturn it.

GUY:

I'm sure you've probably heard

that I want to ask you, but I'd

like to know if you'd go to prom

with me. I know we Didn't hit it

off right at the beginning but-

JOSIE:

Yes. I'll go. Yes.

Guy leans in as if to kiss her and whispers...

GUY:

Rufus.

(then pulling away)

But I don't even know where you

live.

JOSIE:

You know what? Why don't you just

pick me up here? We could all share

a limo.

GUY:

Cool. I'll catch you later.

Guy leaves. Josie is ecstatic and flops back on her bed.

Stuffed animals fall all around her.

INT. HIGH SCHOOL HALLWAY - DAY

Josie and Rob walk confidently through the hallway. Kids

greet and high five them both.

JASON:

Hey Jos. Hey Robster.

BRETT:

Looking good guys.

TOMMY:

Hey Jos. Rob, rufus kegger.

Rob and Josie turn the corner.

JOSIE:

Rob, this is unbelievable. I mean--

Josie shoves through the double doors leading into the

gym.

INT. GYM - CONTINUOUS

The place is a flurry of activity, a staging area for prom.

Various committees are set up at tables throughout the

room.

Josie and Rob enter.

JOSIE:

--I spent my whole life wanting to

fit in, and now--

Gibby and Kirsten run up to Josie.

GIBBY:

Hey Josie- who did Archie date

Betty or Veronica?

JOSIE:

Betty.

Gibby turns to Kirsten.

GIBBY:

Told you.

And they move off. Rob spots Tracy and moves off to her.

SAM (O.S.)

I always liked Betty better.

Josie turns, sees Sam.

JOSIE:

You did?

And they begin to walk through the prom prop area, and it

begins to appear like a romantic date--they pass flowers,

he picks one out, they pass a bistro table, a backdrop of

a sunset follows them for awhile, etc.

SAM:

Oh yeah. Betty was so spunky and

fun. Veronica may have had great

legs, but she was too moody. Very

high maintenance.

Josie laughs.

ANGLE ON:
A TABLE where Kristen and Tommy are selling prom

tickets. Aldys is standing in front of them.

ALDYS:

You can't not sell me a ticket to

prom.

TOMMY:

Listen, Alpo--we can do whatever

we want.

ALDYS:

Oh, I get it. It's that pesky making

change part that's confusing you

guys. Here. I'll make it easy.

(holding up money)

Money-

(drops money, takes

ticket)

Ticket.

Aldys takes her ticket, walks off. Tommy and Kristen turn

to each other and start whispering conspiratorially.

ANGLE BACK ON:
JOSIE AND SAM

Sera runs up to Josie.

SERA:

Josie, were Tweedle Dee and Tweedle

Dum a couple?

Josie and Sam share a look.

JOSIE:

Well, in a strict sense, probably

not. But for prom--sure.

SERA:

Thanks!

Sera turns off.

SAM:

You're really doing a great job

here, Josie. I like your "can do"

attitude.

JOSIE:

(shyly)

Thanks.

(beat)

They weren't related to Humpty

Dumpty, were they? Tweedle Dum and

Tweedle Dee?
