MAGGIE:

(pointing out)

Twenty-three minutes. I'm gonna get

carpal tunnel -

(puts up a drink)

Triple shot latte, extra foam!

JAIME:

(apologetically)

I had to park in outer Mongolia.

Jaime starts pouring and mixing as well. They keep working

as they talk, putting up drinks as they go.

7.

MAGGIE:

Venti cappucino, soy!

(back to Jaime)

Yeah, Pretentious Porsche Guy has

been here since dawn.

She nods over at a GUY sitting at a table with a brand new

laptop computer. Mid-twenties, good looking in a poser way.

JAIME:

How can he even own that car when

all he does is sit in here all day,

pretend to write, and harass us?

(puts up drink)

Hazelnut vanilla latte!

(back to Maggie,

ranting)

Doesn't he have a job?

Maggie gives her an appraising glance.

MAGGIE:

Wow, Jaime's hostile. That's -strangely

refreshing.

JAIME:

(steaming milk)

I'm not hostile. It's just, if he

asks me why he can't have a free

refill one more time I'm gonna pour

one down his pants.

(puts up drink)

Caffé Mocha!

(relenting)

I'm having a bad morning, that's

all.

MAGGIE:

Just don't pee in anyone's cappucino,

ok?

(puts up drink)

Chai tea latte!

INT. STARBUCKS -- DAY -- LATER

Jaime is behind the register now; rush hour is past, it's

gotten QUIETER -- but PRETENTIOUS PORSCHE GUY is at the

counter, ARGUING with her.

JAIME:

Sir, we've never had free refills.

Ever. Never, ever.

PORSCHE GUY:

Eddie's down the street has free

refills. Maybe I should take my

business there.

8.

Jaime flicks her eyes from him, to his TABLE in the corner -it's

like a NEST piled with papers, computer, jacket, empty

CUPS -- and she looks back at him.

JAIME:

Please...

(beat, straight face)

Don't make me beg.

Porsche Guy GLOWERS at her.

PORSCHE GUY:

You can't force me to go, you know

that?

He turns and STALKS back to his table and his computer.

JAIME:

(under her breath)

I really, really do.

She turns back -- to see

A GOOD LOOKING GUY, early 30's, standing at the counter.

Wearing surgical scrubs, he's intense in a way halfway between

nerdy and sexy. His name is ERIC MASTERS.

ERIC:

You know, someone should start

charging him rent.

She GRINS at him -- and he grins right back.

ERIC (CONT'D)

I've got half an hour. Did you take

your break yet?

INT. STARBUCKS -- TABLE BY WINDOW -- DAY

Jaime sits with Eric at a table by the huge, arched window

fronting the Starbucks.

ERIC:

Well, there's IPL laser ablation.

That's pretty much state of the art

for tattoo removal. Scorches the

ink right out -

JAIME:

Great. 'Cause if I make her burn a

few layers of her skin off, that'll

definitely improve the relationship.
