The Diary of a Teenage Girl Page #3

---

My mother was married for a long

time to my step-dad Pascal. He is a

science-y guy, a PhD.

C/U on a picture of Charlotte and PASCAL, 45, when they were

younger and married. Even then, they were an odd match.

MINNIE (V.O.)

He has a lot of ideas about how the

world works- doesn’t think women

should drink or smoke.

Minnie looks at the joint in her mom’s hand.

Yellow (01/16/2014) 77.

MINNIE (V.O.)

Maybe that’s why she isn’t married

to him anymore. She’s “looser” now.

Minnie looks toward Monroe.

MINNIE (V.O.)

Monroe Rutherford’s her boyfriend,

but they aren’t possessive.

Monroe stares at the TV. He is handsome in this light, with a

boyish face. He feels Minnie looking at him and smiles a

little. Minnie turns back to the TV. There is a long pause.

Charlotte suddenly startles.

CHARLOTTE:

(half-asleep and a little

high)

What?

MINNIE:

It was the TV.

CHARLOTTE:

Whatdyasay?

MINNIE:

It was just the TV, mom.

CHARLOTTE:

Oh my god, I had such a long day.

I’m falling asleep here.

Charlotte slips her house shoes on without opening her eyes.

CHARLOTTE (CONT’D)

I’m crashin’.

Monroe slaps Charlotte on the ass.

MONROE:

G’night.

MINNIE:

Night.

Minnie debates moving over to the other side of the couch,

but just as she makes a move, Monroe puts his big hand on her

head. Minnie hits Monroe lightly. He puts his arm around her

and they curl up together, watching TV.

MONROE:

What are you wearing? This

nightgown is totally ridiculous.

Minnie blushes.

Pink (01/08/2014) 8.

Monroe’s arm dangles around Minnie’s shoulder, dangerously

close to her breast. Maybe his hand brushes it? They sit in

silence watching the TV. Minnie moves to the other side of

the couch, staring at Monroe.

MINNIE (V.O.)

I know it seems weird, but I had

this strangely calming feeling that

even if he touched my tit on

purpose it's probably all right

because he's one of our best

friends and he's a good guy and he

knows how it goes and I don't...

Minnie looks at Monroe for a sign. Monroe cracks another

beer.

MINNIE (V.O.)

But I wonder if my breast felt

small?

CUT TO:

12 INT. MINNIE’S HOUSE - BEDROOM - NIGHT 12

Minnie looks at a picture she drew of Monroe, in very short

jogging shorts, that is tacked onto the wall. Her tape player

in her hand.

MINNIE:

Oh Monroe. Pitter pat. You touched

my tit. How was that?

Minnie touches Monroe’s crotch on the drawing. As she stares

deep into Monroe’s face turns to camera,, so handsome and

charming. His eyes twitch with mischief. He looks down a

little, then back up.

MONROE:

(so vulnerable)

Can I just say- touching your

breasts...

(bashfully, almost)

I can’t- I can’t say it.
