One Night Page #2

---

It's gonna happen for me

tonight, I can feel it.

- Mhm.

Prom is a scam.

You have the entire

summer to get laid.

- No, dude.

No, I'm running out of time.

You see this suit?

- That suit?

Yeah, it's a pretty nice suit.

- Yeah, yeah, it's goin' down.

Come on, let's go.

So they've been together

a grand total

of maybe two hours.

- Hey.

- Hi.

- So um, what are you guys

doing this summer?

- Oh, my parents are

making me go on birthright.

- Wow, that's cool.

- It's not really a cause

for celebration, but...

- I'm doing a bunch of stuff.

I'm gonna be backpacking

across Europe.

London, Milan, Barcelona,

all over the place, so...

- You didn't tell me that.

I'm really jealous,

I'd kill to go.

- When are you

thinking about going?

- Still making plans,

I don't know.

What are you doing this summer?

- Just this

photojournalism program.

- Wait, so, we're graduating

and you're going back to school?

- It's not school.

I don't know if I got in yet.

- Well, that was the

worst prom of all time.

And the biggest waste of time.

No, no, absolutely not.

You guys always pick the

worst pictures for yearbook.

- There's actually not

a single picture of you

in the yearbook, I checked.

- Well, that doesn't

give you licence

to take pictures of

whoever you want.

- Okay, sorry.

- Here we go.

- Liz, whoa whoa whoa.

What is this about, really?

- Argentina.

I thought we agreed that

we wouldn't talk about it.

- Well, maybe I do

want to talk about it.

- We were on a break.

- The situation was this,

an opportunity presented

itself to you,

and you took it.

- You can't just

say you want space,

and then just use it against me.

- You know what, this is gonna

blow your mind right now,

but the whole universe

doesn't revolve around you.

- It doesn't?

- You know what,

I take that back.

Your ego definitely has

a gravitational pull.

- I say hi, I buy you a drink,

and then all of a sudden

the walls go up.

The great wall of Elizabeth.

I would have to say that

you, miss, are the worst.

- You're the worst.

- I'm the worst.

- You're the worst.

- All right, goodnight.

- You don't have all the

facts about what happened.

- This isn't about facts.

No, this is about feelings.

And my feeling right now

is somewhere between

nauseous and more nauseous.

- Listen, nauseous,

I have something

really cool to show you.

- Did you hear anything

that I just said?

- Yes, I know,

but I have something

really cool to show you.

- Come on.

- I'm not going anywhere.

- I'm gonna go do this

really cool thing by myself.

- I'm not gonna go over there.

- It's just over here.

I know it's really cool.

- Really?
