One Chance Page #5
A CHIMING/BOUNCING MESSAGE is seen on the screen... Paul
clicks on the message revealing a kitty-kat avatar, which
expands into a Chat Invitation from “julzRulz”.
JULZ:
(typed)
How did it go?
Paul TYPES his response...
PAUL:
How did what go?
JULZ:
Job? Italy? Job? Italy?
PAUL:
Job, yes. Smallest apartment in Britain,
yes. Italy, no. How are you?
JULZ:
I’m so sorry, Paul. I guess you’ll have
to settle for visiting me in Bristol.
Hint. Hint. ;) :
)A beat as Paul flushes... He types...
PAUL:
I’d love to, but the job starts tomorrow
and until I get the cast off my leg, it’s
too difficult for me to get around.
Paul grimaces at the lie.
JULZ:
(after a beat...)
Right.
PAUL:
If I ask you something, promise not to
get offended?
JULZ:
Anything?
13.
PAUL:
You are a girl-(
deletes the word girl,
replaces it with...)
--a woman, right?
He sighs with relief at her response and continues
“chatting.”
BRADDON (O.S.)
I could feel the firming of her breasts
as she pressed them into me.
CUT TO:
INT. CAR PHONE WAREHOUSE - DAY
Where Braddon is in mid-soliloquy as he and Paul stock
shelves with bluetooth ear-pieces...
BRADDON:
“Be gentle,” said she. “Unicorns are not
meant for human love.” “But lady,” said
I, “I am only half human.” And I laid her
down and took her there, amidst the moss
and leaves of the forest floor.
PAUL:
And that was your weekend?
BRADDON:
In a nutshell. Yours?
PAUL:
Sorry, but... Did you say you shagged a
horse?
BRADDON:
It’s a game, role-playing, like Dungeons
& Dragons but for real.
PAUL:
So she was a girl, pretending to be a
horse.
BRADDON:
A unicorn!
PAUL:
Right... Sorry. And you were--?
BRADDON:
A half-elf wizard from the Black Mages
Guild of Quilanthum.
14.
PAUL:
Right.
BRADDON:
When’s the last time you had a bit of
fluff?
PAUL:
Em, well...
BRADDON:
Right.
PAUL:
She is a girl, by the way. My girlfriend.
BRADDON:
When shall we double-date then?
PAUL:
Um, she doesn’t really live here.
BRADDON:
Where’s she live, then?
PAUL:
Bristol.
BRADDON:
Bristol? That’s miles from-- You have
actually met her, haven’t you?
PAUL:
Well, we chat all the time...
Shows Braddon his phone-chat which shows a lengthy text-
thread between he and julzRulz.
PAUL (CONT’D)
She keeps inviting me up for a visit,
but...
BRADDON:
But what?
PAUL:
Well, she looks like Cameron Diaz and...
BRADDON:
And?
Suddenly Paul sees something over Braddon’s shoulder and
darts through the curtains into the back of the store.
15.
BRADDON (CONT’D)
What’s crawled up his-
He turns to the storefront where Matthew enters
belligerently, wearing a blue janitor’s uniform and
carrying a smashed cell phone...
