The DUFF Page #3

Synopsis: Bianca is a content high school senior whose world is shattered when she learns the student body knows her as 'The DUFF' (Designated Ugly Fat Friend) to her prettier, more popular friends. Now, despite the words of caution from her favorite teacher, she puts aside the potential distraction of her crush, Toby, and enlists Wesley, a slick but charming jock, to help reinvent herself. To save her senior year from turning into a total disaster, Bianca must find the confidence to overthrow the school's ruthless label maker Madison and remind everyone that no matter what people look or act like, we are all someone's DUFF.

Here, Kelly, take the blue ones.

They're sugar-free, and I know you're

trying to watch that kind of thing.

What?

You've got to be kidding me.

Wesley?

Caitlyn.

Hey, Mads.

Really? With this?

Does she have to film everything?

Wesley, I'm what's known as pre-famous.

My life is an audition for reality TV.

So, yeah, I need

to chronicle everything.

That was a good take for me.

Get a wide shot too.

Hey, Caitlyn, take five.

Thanks.

This is why we are not dating, okay?

Because you, my friend,

are a juvenile dipshit.

- I could be dating college guys,

- Yeah.

Or famous people, or 30-year-olds.

That sounds like an awesome

episode of Dateline.

Enjoy those saggy balls.

Fine, I will.

Come on, man.

Guys, I don't see Toby.

- I don't know where Toby is.

- Come dance with us.

Do you think he didn't come?

- Party pooper.

- No, no, guys, I don't dance.

Come on, B. Come on, B.

- No, no, no.

- Yeah, you do. Come on, you dance.

You do. Come on.

- Come on.

- Okay.

- There you go.

- Hey.

- Hey.

- Look at those moves.

- See?

- Oh, man, all this dancing,

made me so thirsty.

I'm gonna get a drink.

B, really?

Let you get away

Now, don't go away

My darling, don't go away

Hey, Billy.

- No, just Bianca.

- Jesus.

Looking very handsome tonight.

Why, thank you.

Having fun at the party?

Yeah, actually, your girls

are looking incredible out there.

Have they asked about me?

When I told them that you were here,

their eyes filled with this, like, sparkle,

you know, with, like, childlike wonder,

and then they just started

dancing together.

- It was kind of beautiful.

- Yeah, it was.

Do they do other things together

that I might be able to join in on

or just watch?

I'm kidding. Not kidding at all.

Tell me everything.

Yeah, it's actually not my job

to give you pervy intel

- on my best friends, but thanks.

- Well, I mean, it kind of is, though.

People ask you questions

about them, right,

because that's your job as their DUFF.

Sorry, as their what?

DUFF. D-U-F-F.

Designated Ugly Fat Friend.

What did you just say to me?

It's not like a big deal, okay? I mean,

like, every group of friends has one.

The one who doesn't look as good,

thus making their friends look better.

The one who's approachable

and easy to talk to,

because no one's trying

to get in their pants.

And if you don't know

who it is, chances are it's you.

Say when. Say...

Okay, look, I didn't mean it

like that, all right?

The DUFF doesn't always have to be

some heinous beast, all right?

Take a look at Robin.

Robin's, like, super cute.

Okay, but her friends are super hot.

Oh, God, that is

such a guy thing to say.

Guys can be DUFFs too, okay?
