85. Lines - Leslie






  • FADE IN:

  • EXT. BUS STOP - NIGHT

  • TERRY sits next to ENRIQUE in the plastic enclosure next to the road.

  • The bus stop is covered in ads and graffiti.

  • Both are dressed in nice jeans and un-tucked, button-up shirts.

  • Terry looks over at Enrique and shakes his head.

  • TERRY
  • Dude, the way she was dancing with you?

  • ENRIQUE
  • I know. Wow. There's like that line between fun and hot and bothered, and well, she kicked it way past the goal posts.

  • TERRY
  • Why are you sitting here?

  • ENRIQUE
  • What?

  • TERRY
  • Come on! You know she wanted you.

  • ENRIQUE
  • Oh

  • TERRY
  • And you didn't go there. Good night, man. It's not like you had to push too many more buttons.

  • ENRIQUE
  • Yeah, well, as fun as that was and would be...the next relationship I get into, I want to be about more than just that kind of chemistry.

  • TERRY
  • So it didn't have to be a relationship.

  • Enrique shoots Terry a look.

  • ENRIQUE
  • That's not a line I really want to cross, not right now, not with someone I barely know. And that's hard to say when I remember those eyes.

  • TERRY
  • And the way those eyes were begging your eyes. Those beautiful, beautiful eyes. She couldn't take those eyes away.

  • ENRIQUE
  • Enough, enough. Line, there. Me...staying over here.

  • TERRY
  • Whatever, man.

  • The bus pulls up, creaking and sighing, and finally screeching to a stop.

  • They begin boarding and Terry turns his head slight to address Enrique.

  • TERRY
  • You really shouldn't be getting on this bus with me, really. Oh you hurt me.

  • Enrique grins, gives Terry a shove, and they get on board.

  • FADE TO BLACK.
