Never Been Kissed Page #31

GUY:

(taking a beat,

happily)

My sword.

It's like a switch has been flicked on in Josie's brain.

JOSIE:

Oh.

GUY:

Josie, you rock my world. You're

like the most amazing girl I've

ever dated. You're so smart and

fun and crazy! You rock my world.

JOSIE:

You said that already.

INT. COUNTRY CLUB - BUFFET - MINUTES LATER

Josie stands by the buffet in her tiara, turns and comes

face to face with Sam. They're both taken aback by the

other's beauty.

SAM:

Josie--you make a really beautiful

prom queen.

JOSIE:

Thanks. So do you.

They both laugh, embarrassed, at Josie's flub.

SAM:

I always feel like such a goofball

in these penguin suits. Like I'm

at my own wedding or something.

An awkward beat.

SAM:

You wanna--

He gestures towards the dance floor. Josie smiles.

JOSIE:

Yeah, okay--

And they walk off onto the dance floor.

ANGLE ON:
THE SIDE OF THE DANCE FLOOR.

Guy approaches Aldys.

GUY:

Hey, listen--it's prom. How about

we let all the old sh*t go. Would

you like to dance?

Aldys can't help it. She smiles, a little flattered.

GUY:

If it's okay with the rest of the

double helix.

Aldys smiles and unhooks herself from the group. And starts

to dance with Guy.

ANGLE ON:
JOSIE AND SAM as they continue to dance.

SAM:

Proms always make me sad. They're

so final. Graduation. Everyone's

scattering, moving on.

JOSIE:

Well, are you here with anybody?

SAM:

No, I'm alone.

JOSIE:

It's weird because "prom" is

actually from the word "promenade".

And you can't really promenade

alone, can you?

Sam smiles at this.

SAM:

You're amazing, Josie Geller.

ANGLE ON:
GUY AND ALDYS as they dance, WE SEE the Cool

Girls and Jason standing to the side of the dance floor

laughing Gibby reaches into her purse and pulls out a CAN

OF ALPO. She hands it to Jason who pulls a CAN OPENER out

of his pocket, opens the lid. He hands it to Kirsten who

take the lid off. She hands the can to Kristen, who hands

the can to Tommy.

SAM:

So--have you thought anymore about

Dartmouth?

JOSIE:

Yeah, I have.

CLOSE UP on Josie's HAND as she subtlety removes her hidden

camera pin and drops it to the ground.

JOSIE:

There's something I have to tell

you--

Her foot comes down on top of it.

INT. GEORGE'S VAN - CONTINUOUS

George is making out with his Date when the monitor suddenly

FRITZES OFF. George looks up.

GEORGE:

What the--?!

George stands and hits the side of the monitor.

INT. GUS'S OFFICE - CONTINUOUS

Gus's monitor flicks to static. The Crowd lets out a

horrified GASP.

CYNTHIA:

Tell him what?! Tell him what?!

INT. COUNTRY CLUB - DANCE FLOOR - CONTINUOUS

Sam looks deep into Josie's eyes.

SAM:

There's something I have to tell

you, too--

Josie's eyes shift from Sam to over his shoulder. She spots

Aldys, who smiles at her. Josie's eyes travel up to the

can of DOG FOOD.

FLASH:
TEENAGE JOSIE

on the porch, facing Billy and his Date.

FLASH:
TEENAGE JOSIE

with egg dripping all over her.

BACK TO PRESENT.

JOSIE:

NOOOOOOO!

SLOW MOTION as Josie lunges for Aldys and pulls her to

floor as Tommy, off-balance, dumps the dog food all down

Guy's front. The Crowd stops dead, staring. The can, now

empty, rolls slowly off the dance floor, the metal rolling

noise ECHOING in the silence.

GUY:

(to Josie)

What is your problem?!

GIBBY:

I knew it. You are a loser.

KRISTEN:

You ruined the whole thing!

KIRSTEN:

You so do not deserve to be prom

queen.

Everyone is still staring. It's dead quiet.

JOSIE:

Let me tell you something.

It is still silent. Josie takes a deep breath, and looks

around the room.

JOSIE:

I don't care about being the prom

queen. I am twenty five years old.
