87. Knights - Leslie

• FADE IN:


• INT. DAN AND SARAH'S LIVING ROOM - EVENING


• DAN and SARAH sit next to each other on the living room couch.


• Sarah is dressed in PJs, legs folded under her as she surfs absently through the channels.


• Dan is dressed up, drumming the coffee table impatiently.


• SARAH
• Relax.


• DAN
• Trying.


• SARAH
• So wait, tell me again...when you were a kid, you wanted...?


• DAN
• I used to fantasize that the girl of my dreams would suddenly appear outside my window, and take me away on amazing adventures.


• Sarah snorts.


• SARAH
• In what? A hot hair balloon or something.


• DAN
• Something, I dunno. I don't think I ever got that far, I'd just play that part over and over, her appearing. I'd be delighted, but not surprised...I knew she was coming.


• Sarah coughs trying not to laugh, and fails.


• DAN
• See, this is why we're not dating anymore.


• SARAH
• Exactly.


• DAN
• I'm surprised we work as roommates.


• SARAH
• Barely.


• The doorbell rings.


• SARAH
• Elena?


• DAN
• Yeah.


• He walks over and opens the door for ELENA, who stands grinning at him and hands him a simple bouquet.


• DAN
• She gets it.


• Sarah snorts.


• SARAH
• Go, go...your white knight has arrived


• Dan grabs Elena's hand.


• DAN
• Let's go, the Evil Ex over there is tormenting me.
  


• ELENA
• Bye Sarah, have a good evening.


• Sarah waves, then sticks out her tongue at Dan as he closes the door.


• FADE TO BLACK.
