Never Been Kissed
FADE IN:
It's Josie Geller, 25, cute, blonde and scared out of her
wits. We hear the chanting of a crowd.
CROWD:
Josie! Josie! Josie!
JOSIE (V.O.)
You know in some movies how they
have a dream sequence only they
don't tell you it's a dream?
PULL OUT to reveal Josie on pitcher's mound of a--
EXT. A BASEBALL STADIUM -- NIGHT
It's packed. Reporters line the field. All eyes are on
Josie.
JOSIE (V.O.)
This is so not a dream.
The stadium clock sets at 5:00. The crowd goes crazy. Josie
takes a deep, nervous breath and smiles, "Oh God."
INT. ELECTRONICS STORE -- CONTINUOUS
Multiple images of Josie play across rows of TV sets. A
crowd has gathered.
JOSIE (V.O.)
It wasn't supposed to be like this.
I was just trying to do my job.
And then things happened. Well,
life happened. And now I'm here.
EXT. BASEBALL STADIUM -- CONTINUOUS
The clock starts to tick down. The crowd yells again.
JOSIE (V.O.)
Trust me. I am not the kind of
girl who does things like this. I
mean, two months ago you couldn't
have picked me out of a crowd...
INT. CHICAGO SUN TIMES BULLPEN -- DAY
Packed with office workers. Bustling with activity. The
CAMERA searches the CROWD.
JOSIE (V.O.)
Told you. I'm over there.
The CAMERA SWINGS to Josie entering. Rhoda, a young copy
assistant, tails her, pen and paper in hand.
RHODA:
Theater--
JOSIE:
Standard American calls for "er".
Standard British is "re". So go
for "er", unless you're a pompous
American, then go for British.
Josie keeps negotiating the maze, leaving Rhoda in her
wake.
RHODA:
No. Theater. Last night. We were
supposed to go, remember?
Josie stops at a desk where Merkin Burns, officious office
assistant, is talking on the phone. He picks his nose with
abandon as he talks, ignoring Josie.
MERKIN:
(into phone)
No way. No way. No way. Ech, hold
on.
(to Josie)
What.
JOSIE:
Messages?
Merkin removes his finger from his nose and uses it to
pick up a pink message. He holds it out to Josie. Disgusted,
she takes it by one corner.
MERKIN:
(into phone)
Seriously? No way. No way--
