Never Been Kissed Page #4

Synopsis: Josie Geller (Drew Barrymore), a baby-faced junior copywriter at the Chicago Sun-Times, must pose as a student at her former high school to research contemporary teenage culture. With the help of her brother, Rob (David Arquette), Josie infiltrates the inner circle of the most popular clique on campus.

JOSIE:

Be honest. Do you think I'm

aggressive?

Anita ponders a moment.

ANITA:

Okay. Remember when they took your

office chair in for repairs and

forgot to return it?

JOSIE:

Yeah.

ANITA:

You stood for like a month.

Cynthia, an affable African-American woman in her 40's,

enters and puts three microwave meals in the microwave.

JOSIE:

Just because I'm not out of control

doesn't mean I can't write.

CYNTHIA:

Josie, you listen to me. If you

feel you're a writer--

(touching her chest)

Here, deep inside, don't let anyone

tell you you're not. Look at me.

Every day I come to this paper and

I pour my heart and soul into what

I do. I feel it, passionately, to

the core of my being.

JOSIE:

You write obituaries.

CYNTHIA:

Hey, if you can make a busted aorta

sound good--honey, that's art.

The microwave dings off. Cynthia fishes the three Lean

Cuisines out. Anita and Josie share a look.

ANITA:

Cynthia, aren't they only diatetic

if you eat them one at a time?

CYNTHIA:

I eat 'em one at a time.

ANITA:

(to Josie)

Y'know, maybe Gus has a point. It

wouldn't kill you to relax and

have some fun. Roger's got a friend,

Marshall in editing? The one with

the lazy eye? Maybe we could double

date.

JOSIE:

Forget it.

ANITA:

I swear to God, Jos. When is the

last time you went on a real live

date?
