Boy Meets Girl Page #3

Synopsis: Funny and provocative, Boy Meets Girl vividly captures the giddy excitement, sexual heat, and inherent heartache of "non-traditional" love in a small town. Ricky (Michelle Hendley) is a 21-year-old trans girl living in Kentucky. Her only real friend, straight-laced Robby, has been her trusty, totally platonic, confidant for over 15 years. Her day job slinging lattes is merely a stepping-stone toward her goal of being a famous New York designer. She's confident, cool, and completely ready for something new - and then her world is transformed when an enchanting debutante saunters into her life. Triggering fresh feelings and experiences, this unlikely connection conjures up intense questions about identity while uncovering ghosts from Ricky's past. Indie-film veteran Eric Schaeffer (My Life's in Turnaround, If Lucy Fell) builds a compelling, compassionate world that focuses on the emotions and messy challenges of complex people navigating complicated relationships.

Okay, so there is

one main reason why,

even if he did

like me like that,

we still couldn't be

anything more than friends.

Mm-hmm, and what's that?

- Well...

- Tell me.

Okay.

- What's your number?

- Why?

Just, please.

Uh, eight-five-nine-

five-five-five

seven-six-two-four.

Oh.

Who the heck is...?

It's me.

Oh!

How excitin'.

No.

But...

No!

Wow!

May I ask you a question?

Yeah, sure.

So where did you-

like where did you get it?

I mean who gave it to you?

What?

Y-your, um...

Oh!

Well, um, God, I guess?

When I was born.

Oh, my- okay,

so biologically you were born -

A boy.

Well, um,

so, uh, do you like it?

My...?

- Yeah.

- Oh! Yeah, I mean,

I do, it's just I wish

I'd been born a genetic girl.

I do plan on gettin'

the full surgery someday.

It's just so expensive.

But, for now,

I might as well

just dance with the one

that brung me, right?

And it's not really

about hatin' my body,

so I've learned to live with it.

And do you- do you like

keep it a secret that you..?

Oh, no, no, no.

I am completely

comfortable with who I am,

and I like to make sure

everybody else

in my life is, too.

So, you know,

whether it's a boy,

or like you, a new friend,

um, if for any reason

it should or does come up,

I mean, I just get

it right out in the open.

Well, we are new friends,

aren't we?

I think so.

you don't go fallin'

in love with me or anything.

Well, right back at ya!

- You idiot, my hair!

- Oh, God, it's cold!

Ah!

Robby, how do you do?

Francesca.

Charmed, I'm sure.

So, you new in town?

- Uh, yes and no.

- She grew up here,

but then went

off to boardin' school.

Now she's back and waitin'

for her handsome marine

to come home

so they can get married.

Oh, cool.

Who's your fianc?

David Applebee.

No.

Oh, you know him?

Oh, yeah, I know him.

We went to high school together.

Wait,

so do you know him, too?

- I don't think so.

- Of course you do.

It's that kid who kept

tryin' to knock you out

in pee-wee football.

- Really?

- He did that?

Y'all just seem so nice.

I would feel bad if he was

ever mean to you either of you.

Hey, he's fightin'

for our country.

He's cool by me.

Thank you.

You be nice to our new friend.

Come on, now, I'm always nice.

Ah!

- Oh, my God!

- Stop it.

You're gonna get it, Robby.

Come on, now.

Whoo!

Help us!

Help us!

The sharks are coming!

The Fourth Division

of the Fighters of the Republic

will save you.

Hurry! Hurry!

You're incredible.

Our hero.

Really,

there's no need for that.

And besides, I'm not

allowed to kiss on duty anyway.

Well,

when do you get off duty?

Um, right now!

Are you corruptin'

that army man again?

It didn't come.
