The Room Page #2

---

Mark:
Alright, see you.

Cut to gratuitous footage of a cable car in downtown San Francisco.

Back in the room, Lisa answers the door. Mark enters.

Mark:
Hi. How you doing?

Lisa:
I’m fine, come in. Have a seat. (they are silent while she pours wine and offers it)

Mark:
Thank you.

Lisa:
It’s hot in here. (she unbuttons the top of her blouse) Do you mind?

Mark:
No.

Lisa approaches Mark in her strapless black dress.

Mark:
I mean the candles, the music, the sexy dress, I mean, what’s going on here?

Lisa:
I like you very much, loverboy.

Mark:
What are you doing this for?

Lisa:
What’s the matter? Don’t you like me? I’m your girl?

Mark:
Johnny’s my best friend. You’re going to be married next month. Come on.

Lisa:
Forget about Johnny. This is between you and me.

Mark:
I don’t think so. I’m leaving now.

Lisa:
Please don’t leave. Please don’t leave. I need you. I love you. I don’t want to get married anymore. I don’t love Johnny. I dream about you. I need you to make love to me.

Mark:
I don’t think so. Everything’s going to be fine, I promise.

They proceed to kiss, then have fully clothed three-minute sex on the spiral stairs to the tune of terrible R&B (“you are my rose”).

Mark:
Why did you do this to me? Why? Johnny’s my best friend.

Lisa:
Didn’t you enjoy it?

Mark:
That’s not the point.

Lisa:
I love you, Mark.

Mark:
Look, you’re very attractive, alright? You’re beautiful. But we can’t do this anymore. I can’t hurt Johnny.

Lisa:
I know. He’s your best friend.

Mark:
Hey. This will be our secret.

They kiss.

Cut to exterior shot of a hilly San Francisco street. Johnny’s car pulls up to a flower shop.

Johnny enters the flower shop.

Johnny:
Hi.

Florist:
Can I help you?

Johnny:
(removing sunglasses) Yeah, can I have a dozen red roses, please?

Florist:
Oh hi, Johnny, I didn’t know it was you. Here you go.

Johnny:
That’s me! How much is it?

Florist:
It’ll be eighteen dollars.

Johnny:
Here you go, keep the change. Hi doggy!

Florist:
You’re my favorite customer.

Johnny:
Thanks a lot, bye!

Florist:
Bye bye!

Johnny exits with the roses and gets in his car.

Cut to Lisa in the room, talking on the phone.

Lisa:
Yeah, delivery. 555-4828. Half Canadian bacon with pineapple, half artichoke with pesto and light on the cheese. Thanks.

She hangs up, and the doorbell rings.

Lisa:
Who is it?

Denny:
Denny!

Lisa:
Hey Denny, how are you doing?

Denny:
I’m fine. What’s new?

Lisa:
Actually I’m really busy. Do you want something to drink?

Denny:
No thanks. I just want to talk to Johnny. You look beautiful today. Can I kiss you?

Lisa:
You are such a little brat!

Denny:
I’m just kidding! I love you and Johnny.

Lisa:
Okay, okay. Johnny’s going to be here any minute. You can wait if you want.
