SCENE 9
(Paul and Martin's apartment, living room)
Paul : Hey, I've just cleaned the kitchen floor and arrange your shoes, so please don't make any mess.
Martin : Okay, thanks a lot, Paul.
(Paul prepares to leave)
Martin : Hey wait, where are you going? Your houseworks are done, now come and join us!
Paul : I told you, I can't! I have to write a new song.
Bryan : A new song...? For what?
Paul :
OUR band? (Enters his bedroom)
(Pause)
Christine : Oookay. Now we have
Kangaroo Jack,
The Dark Knight,
The Simpsons, and
P2. Which one goes first?
Martin, Bryan :
P2/
The Simpsons.
Bryan : Come on now.
P2? This is the very first time I see a slasher film which featured a real weak person as the so-called bad guy.
Martin : But
The Simpsons? Dude, were you born in a wrong dimension? Grow up, watch real movies! ...and don't you dare say harsh things about Wes Bentley.
Christine : (Picks up a DVD) How about
The Dark Knight?
Bryan : (Nods in approval) Fair enough. (Takes the DVD from Christine's hand, pulls out the disc, then he puts it into DVD player)
Martin : Alright, we're ready to roll!
Christine : Hey, wait! Where's the snack? What's the point doing movie marathon without snacks?
Bryan : She's got the point.
Martin : Alright... who wants popcorn?
Bryan, Christine : (Raise their hands)
Martin : Who wants to make it for us?
Bryan, Christine : (Put their hands down)
Martin : (Stares at both of them, then finally he stands up to make popcorn)
Christine : You're the best, Marty.
Martin : Oh,
shut up.
SCENE 10
(Outside Coffee Tree House)
Summer : We're about to leave, John. Do you want to join us?
John : Where are you two exactly going?
Michael : Cinema. I've got only two tickets for
Transformers, so unfortunately you can't join us, even if you wanted to!
Summer : Michael!
Michael : ...kidding.
John : No, that's okay. I get that you two want to spend today together, just the two of you. Well I think I gotta go home.
Michael : (Mumbles) Thank God.
John : (Turns to Michael) Excuse me?
Michael : Too bad you can't come with us. Sorry.
John : Oh... okay then. See you guys tomorrow! (Leaves)
(Summer and Michael are watching John as he leaves)
Summer : You didn't really get the tickets, did you?
Michael : Yeah...
Summer : (Shakes her head in disbelief) I get that you really wanted us to be together more often. But I don't like the way you did it. John, he is my brother's friend and you asked me to get along with him, right? But why you seemed disagree?
Michael : Summer... I'm really sorry about that. I'm just being too picky sometimes.
Summer : That's OK.
(Silence)
Summer : So where are we going then?
Michael : I don't know... Oh! Let's go to the cinema, to see if we could get tickets for
Transformers.
Summer : (Looks at her watch) I don't think it's a good idea.
Michael : Aaaallright.
SCENE 11
(A few hours later, Paul's bedroom. He is playing with his guitar)
Paul : (Re-reads some writings on a paper) My God, this is the most suckish song I ever made! It's even worse than the collusion of Paris and Heidi. I think I need some fresh air... (Walks out. As he opens the door, he sees the living room is very messy)
Martin : Here comes Poolie! Have you finished yet?
Paul : No... and I'll NEVER have. This song... is a disaster. Here. (Hands Martin the song lyric)
Bryan : (Tries to read over Martin's shoulder) "I have a song, a song to be sung, a song about love, a song about us." (Stares at Paul) Dude, are you sick?
Paul : (Sarcastically) You think? (Snatches the paper away) And please don't turn the volume too loud. I need to concentrate. (Leaves back to his bedroom)
Christine : You got it, Captain. (Pushes a button from remote control, but apparently she pushes the wrong button, making the voice even louder)
Paul : (VO) TOO LOUD!
Christine : Ooops! Sorry! (Turns the volume smaller)
Bryan : Poor him.
Christine : Yeah...
Martin : Anyone wants coke?
Bryan, Christine : I do I do I do!
SCENE 12
(Afternoon day. John is walking through a walking side, and passing a cafe where Rachel works. The door sign says 'CLOSED')
(A waitress just got out the door)
John : Hey, excuse me...
Waitress : Please don't take my money—I'm a poor thing.
John : (Confused) I don't want your money.
Waitress : Then just take away my fake DKNY watch!
John : Wh—hey! I also don't want your fake DKNY watch! Do you think I'm a robber?
Waitress : Well, it's already dark outside, and I'm a woman, standing alone here, and then suddenly you, a random stranger called me with his improper clothes... you know, everything just...
fits.John : (Feels offended) Whoa, hold on a second, miss. I might be random but my clothes are NOT improper.
Waitress : Oh really?
John : (Cover his face with one hand) Anyway... do you know Rachel who works here? Is she still inside?
Waitress : Can't you read the sign? (Points at door sign)
John : It says 'closed', but...
Waitress : Now you know. Bye. (Prepares to leave)
John : Wait! But did she work here? Say, a few hours ago?
Waitress : (Makes a strange expression, but then laughs) Have you been working too hard or what? It's Saturday!
John : Yeah, so?
Waitress : Our restaurant closes on 4 PM every weekend. And this is 6 PM already!
John : But what did you—
Waitress : I left my novel here, so I came back to take it. Every staff has duplicate keys. Look. (Shows John her key)
John : (Nods) I see... so, Rachel wasn't here a few hours ago?
Waitress : Get over it! (Leaves)
John : (Just stands there alone)
SCENE 13
(Paul's bedroom)
Paul : Alright, I give up with all these things! Why does Martin make everything so easy?
(He hears a noise from the living room)
(He gets out and see the mess)
Paul : Martin... can I talk to you for a moment?
Martin : (Eyes locked to TV) Sure, tell me.
Paul : In the kitchen, say,
privately?(Martin stands up and follows Paul to the kitchen)
Paul : I bet you forgot what I've told you HOURS ago.
Martin : Huh, you bet I didn't. (Pulls out canned tomato soup from refrigerator) Herrrreee's your order!
Paul : (Smiles) Suh-weet! (Storms out, stomps the can to a nearby table) NO! The
another one!
Martin : Oh, wait. I think I still remember it. (Thinking) It's on my tongue... (Thinking) Okay, pass.
Paul : I told you not to mess with the kitchen! And now, not only the kitchen, you
also turned the whole apartment upside down!
Martin : Whoa, hang in there, buddy. What does it all mean anyway? I can turn it back to normal, big deal.
Paul : Well, it means you don't appreciate my works. Instead, you're ripping them off into small cuts. (Takes flashlight from the top of refrigerator) And what the hell did this thing do here?
Martin : Oh, I dropped a spoon and I thought it was under the cabinet. So...
Paul : (Sighs) (Walks out)
(Living room)
Paul : The volume, please!
Christine : I'm working on it. (Takes remote control)
Paul : No... (Takes it away from Christine's hand) let me. (Turns off the volume) (Walks into his bedroom)
Bryan : What the—is he menstruating or what?
Christine : Believe me, even menstruated women won't do that.
John : (Enters the room) Hey everyone.
All : Hey.
John : (Joins them) Still doing the movie marathon, huh? How many movies have you watched so far?
Bryan : One and a half. (Sips his coke)
John : (Checks out his watch) It's already 6.30 PM.
Martin : Blame Paul for this. He thinks we are too noisy and messing everything up.
John : (Looks around) Well... I think he's got the point. Where is he anyway?
Christine : In his own fortress. And if you ever thought of coming and talking to him right now... don't. (Turns to John, smiles) How was your date with that Rachel girl anyway?
John : It was... pretty nice. She's a friendly girl, really. (Scratches his hair) But I think he's got a problem about honesty.
Christine : Aww, what happened? Did she cheat on you on your first date? Because most of girls I know admitted that they have done that on their first dates.
The boys : (Turn to Christine)
Christine : "Most of girls" doesn't mean "me".
(Martin and Bryan continue watching movie)
John : No, she didn't. But actually I don't know what she really did. girls are really complicated—(Points Christine) you ARE complicated, do you know that?
Christine : Huh, you bet I am.
SCENE 14
(Background music: Dave Matthews Band - The Space Between)
(Summer and Michael are walking through the sidewalk to Summer's apartment)
Narator : Actually, whom do you want to spend your Saturday night with? Is it with your caring yet demanding lover?
Michael : And next time, make sure you order enough coffee and snacks for yourself. That was just too much.
Summer : You ate a whole lot more than me.
Michael : I did?
(Paul and Martin's apartment, living room)
Narator : Is it with your careless but very nice friends?
Paul : (Appears) Ugh, I really need to get out... oh hey, John.
John : (Waves)
Paul : What... what movie is playing now?
Martin :
Kangaroo Jack?
Paul : Oh, my favorite. (Joins them)
(Camera focuses on John—he's currently thinking about something)
Narator : Is it with your someone special you've just met, but apparently those kind of people are the ones who let you down easily?
John : (Checks his phone)
(Camera focuses on Martin)
Narator : Is it with someone you really want to spend your night with, but that person has already gone with someone else?
Martin : (Throws a popcorn to the air and tries to catch it into his mouth)
(Summer and Michael walk upstairs, reaching the hallway)
Narator : Those people don't sound right for you, do they?
Summer : Thanks for walking me home.
Michael : No problem. (Kisses Summer lightly)
Martin : (Appears from his apartment with a big black plastic bag on his hand) Whoa, get a room, people.
Summer : (Chuckles) Sorry.
Michael : Apparently we no longer have a privacy in this state. Alright, see you on Monday, Summer. (Leaves)
(Awkward silence)
Martin : So, ummm.... how was your Saturday with him?
Summer : Been pretty good so far. Actually, he is the best boyfriend I ever had.
Martin : How many times have you actually dated someone?
Summer : Once.
Martin : And you call him the best boyfriend you ever had. (Nods) Sweet.
Summer : Are you going to stop this thing?
Martin : I am now.
Summer : And umm, what are you doing with that trash bag?
Martin : Well, apparently your brother has an obsessive compulsive disorder. He is suddenly a clean freak now and it's driving me insane!
Summer : (Laughs) He
is a clean freak. He just hasn't showed it yet.
Martin : Did you not listen to me? (Prepares to leave)
Summer : Hey wait.
Martin : (Turns to Summer) Yes, Summer?
Summer : About the movie marathon invitation... is it too late for me to attend it?
Martin : (Smiles) No, not at all. Everyone is still inside. You can join them if you want to.
Summer : Thank you.
Martin : Enjoy your movie. (Leaves)
Summer : (Gets into Paul and Martin's apartment) Heey guys!
Everyone : Hey!
Narator : But whoever they are, all we want to do on every Saturday night is... to have some fun.
Summer : (Joins them) Is it
Kangaroo Jack? Paul and I always watched it when we were younger.
Bryan : And I'm not wondering why.
SCENE 15
(Night day, outside the apartment. Martin is struggling to put the trash bag in a such small trashcan. But suddenly the plastic is ripped off and it spills everything onto the road)
Martin : Oh, come on now!
