Slightly Single in L.A. Page #4

Synopsis: Dale Squire is a hip, quirky, independent single gal living in the glossy city of Los Angeles. After several failed attempts in quasi-relationships, Dale concludes that finding a meaningful relationship in L.A. is impossible. But being anti-social is tough for any young girl in Hollywood. With Jill's frantic wedding right around the corner, Dale finds herself reflecting on the significance of marriage, and the mutual respect needed for a successful relationship. When Zach, a successful heartthrob rock star and old friend of Dale's finds his way back into her life, Dale slowly starts to think that maybe finding love in L.A. is possible - the only problem is that her realization might have come too late, leaving Dale in a silent love triangle, with no way out.

I've just got the wedding on my mind.

Oh what a surprise.

You haven't had any input BTW.

BTW, Jesus.

It's because I work and I don't sit

at home eating chips and dip

and obsess over the wedding.

What?

It is disgusting what you are doing.

You're a pig.

I'm a pig?

Hi.

Got back off!

Yeah right that's what it is!

Every single...

Jill called her engagement a match

made in heaven.

Watching them squabble

about wedding cakes

and the medicinal benefits of anal sex

I couldn't help but think that

Heaven has a strange sense of humor.

I'll call you later OK.

- Ok.

- Ok.

Come on Bowie.

Bowie? Terrible name.

We can't even go hiking...

Just one time.

No!

You know that camera looks very good

No chemicals.

Is this new?

It is.

It's about a girl.

Who's it about? That blonde?

Blonde?

No. No blondes.

There ain't no words that I can say,

cause words would just get in the way.

But it is written in the wind,

This is where it all begins,

I've been dreaming you right.

I've been holding every night

Now you're wanting me to stay.

Keeps getting better everyday.

Everyday.

I'm so happy I could cry

I think about it all the time.

I'm so happy I could cry

I just can't get you off my mind

I found the reason for living

I found the reason for love.

I found the reason for living

Later.

So how is Jill's wedding coming along?

Um it's pretty good.

There's a bit of drama though.

Wow drama in a wedding

that's shocking.

Yeah well Jill wants this chapel filled

with eight thousand

red roses and some like...

Eighty thousand dollar wedding dinner

and seven thousand dollar wedding dress.

And her dad won't cover the entire tab.

Wow I'm very glad

that I'm not Drew right now.

Or her dad.

Yeah but that's just Jill, you know?

Only love her for it she's extravagant.

You know I've known her

since I was eleven.

We went to boarding school together.

You went to boarding school

when you were eleven.

Did you miss your parents a lot?

Yeah... it's complicated.

When did you get home to see them?

Well on the holidays, or you know

the occasional odd long weekend.

I liked boarding school.

It was what I needed.

How do you mean?

Well my parents died when I was a kid.

I told you that right?

No I'm very sorry I didn't know that.

How did they die together?

No they actually died separately.

Um my was when I was 5.

My mom when I was 11.

Oh no, no, no it's not sad.

It was a really long time ago.

I just don't talk about it much

because...

Um what about your parents?

They're... still together right?

Still together yeah, after 30 years.

And totally in love with each other.

- It's amazing.

- You serious?

Oh you can get that.

Oh no, it's OK.

But you can get that.

Sorry.

Oh it's Hallie.

Just 2 seconds.

Hey!

Um yeah I'm still here.

Um sure that's fine.

Wait, you didn't really just do

what I think you just did, did you?

Because I kind of had plans to just

spend the night with you.

Um she's outside.

How did she get my address?

I don't know, not from me.

Hello...

Door's open.

Hi.

Dale said she was coming by

to shoot the band

so I thought I'd surprise you.

- Hey.

- Hey.

We actually finished a couple

of hours ago but um...

Really?

Why don't you sit back down.

You're not...

Yeah you know I'm sorry I'm lame

but I have to work in the morning so...

You should see the show she's casting

it is so funny.

Look you could stay,

have another beer.

Oh I'm sure we'll do it some other time.

I'll see you guys later.

Just one second.

All right Mr. Zachary

I'll text you tomorrow.

Why are you leaving?

Because I have to work tomorrow.

And you're just going to leave me

with your friend in there?

Hey ZACH, where's your corkscrew?

Ok... Ok...

She just showed up hours

later unannounced.

I guess something did happen

between them the other night.

What did ZACH say?

Well I mean he said he wanted me

to stay

and you know but I think I was

just playing dumb.

I don't get you Dale, I really don't.
