Nazeer opens the front doors of the Circle A and shouts at Buff

and Jeff.

NAZEER:

Look, you can't be out here all night tonight, okay?

Tim comes out from around the corner. Jeff continues talking on

the phone ignoring the argument.

BUFF:

Hey, we're just having a conversation.

NAZEER:

This is private property, my friend.

TIM:

Come on man.

BUFF:

Hey, don't tell us about private property. This is America, my

friend.

NAZEER:

Look, look, look. You gotta go now, okay? The customers complain.

BUFF:

We're your customers. We're not complaining.

NAZEER:

Please!

Nazeer walks back into the store. Buff and Tim walk back around

the corner towards the dumpster. Jeff is sitting by himself. Buff

goes to sit down next to him.

JEFF:

You don't need to sit next to me right now.

TIM:

Who were you talking to?

JEFF:

Nobody. Sooze.

BUFF:

Stuck with what guy?

JEFF:

What?

BUFF:

You said you didn't want to get stuck with some guy. What guy?

JEFF:

No, uh, nobody. It's, uh, it's my birthday this week and Sooze's

brother might come by to wish me a happy birthday.

BUFF:

It's your birthday?

JEFF:

Yeah.

BUFF:

Well, sh*t! Happy f***ing birthday!

Tim and Buff grab Jeff and form a line, simulating sex. BEE-BEE

approaches.

BUFF AND TIM:

Happy birthday! Happy f***in' birthday!

BEE-BEE

Um, is Sooze around?

JEFF:

Uh, yeah, she should be coming by.

BEE-BEE

Uh, well, what'd she say? Is Pony coming?

JEFF:

I don't know.

BUFF:

Want a beer?

(to Jeff)

Is Pony coming?

BEE-BEE

No, thanks. I don't drink. Um, well, what'd she say? I mean, did

she talk to him?

TIM:

Pony? What's a "pony"? You mean that geek who played the folk

music at the senior prom? What's that guy's name? Neil Moynihan?

BUFF:

Oh, Pony's band "Dream Girls"? Been on the road opening for

"Midnight Hore". Stadiums, man.

(to Jeff)

Wait, so Pony's coming by here?

BEE-BEE

(to Tim)

Didn't you see their video on MTV?

TIM:

No, I shot my TV.

BUFF:

But, so, Pony's comin' by here to the corner?

JEFF:

He's around and, you know, maybe he's coming by. Sooze told him

to come by and hang out, whatever. It's no big deal. Me, him, and

Sooze are gonna...

TIM:

Oh, no, you wanted to get together with your close friend, Pony,

the rockstar. I understand. So you, do you, want us to, leave?

JEFF:

No. We were just gonna go someplace or something to...

BEE-BEE

We are?

JEFF:

Alright. She told him to meet us here. F***.

BUFF:

(excited)

Pony's coming here to the corner?!

JEFF:

Yeah, no, it wasn't even my idea.

TIM:

Jeff, Jeff, if you want to be alone with Pony, you know, that's,

that's fine with us.

JEFF:

Sooze wants to see him.

TIM:

Well, you know, I wanna f***ing see him. I gotta know what it's

like to be on MTV.
