Boys on the Side Page #2

ROBIN:

That's gonna cost at least $200 to get your car back.

SCENE 7

MAN:

Okay, Jane. Good luck in L.A., man. Earthquakes,

fires, riots...they got some real crazy bastards out

there in California. I don't know why you want to go

out there anyway. (To other mover): Hey, easy with

that piano!

SCENE 8Robin is packing, putting notes on

everything.

SCENE 9Jane is packing her tapes.

SCENE 10Robin lies awake in bed.

SCENE 11

ROBIN:

Good morning!

SCENE 12

JANE:

Listen, I've got a friend in Pittsburgh. Do you mind

if we stop, pick her up and take her out for lunch?

ROBIN:

No, absolutely. No problem. Deal. (Takes picture):

Smile! (Remembers childhood memory): My brother

threw up, right here, near Exit 7. I remember, we

pulled over.

JANE:

How come he's not making this trek with you down

memory lane? Or does he have a life?

ROBIN:

He doesn't, as a matter of fact. He died of cancer

when he was six.

JANE:

Oh, man. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Man.

ROBIN:

Would you mind if I used your headphones?

JANE:

No, go ahead.

message...(Jane hangs up).

SCENE 14

WOMAN:

There's a sick lady in the bathroom. Is she with

somebody here?

WAITRESS:

She's outside.

WOMAN:

Is that your friend in there in the bathroom?

JANE:

Yeah.

WOMAN:

Girl, you better get in there. She's in there

throwin' up.

JANE:

Thanks.

SCENE 15

JANE:

Hey, are you all right?

ROBIN:

That stupid woman. I told her I was fine.

JANE:

You look like sh*t.

ROBIN:

Thank you. Allergies. I have allergies. They come

and they go. Some people think it's all in my head.

Do you ever knock?

JANE:

Not in a public toilet, no.

SCENE 16

JANE:

I'm really sorry. It's probably because I brought

your brother up.

ROBIN:

Oh, no no. It's not that. I'm fine. I'll be fine if

we just keep moving. It's not that...You smell like

an ashtray.

SCENE 17

JANE:

(Talking on the phone): I'm just goin' down to L.A.

to...(Robin knocks on the door): What?!

ROBIN:

Are you getting HBO? Because we're supposed to get

HBO and it's not on mine.

JANE:

I don't know. I'm on the phone here.

ROBIN:

Oh, I'm sorry.

JANE:

No, come in and check. Come in. (Talking on the

phone):
Yes, I'm on my way to L.A. and I thought I'd

stop by and see you...No, no, I said Tuesday or

Wednesday. Are you okay? No, it's just...All right,

no, I'll wait.

ROBIN:

"The Way We Were" is on. Robert Redford. Barbara

Streisand. "The Way We Were."
