229. That Small Little Confused Feeling - Leslie

• FADE IN:


• INT. LEXI'S COFFEE SHOP - DAY


• AARON stares wistfully across the restaurant at a MIA, a waitress with red-hair cropped short around her neck.


• She spins around the tables, dancing to the tune playing on the house speakers.


• She drops coffee off at the a table, smiles at the patrons, then is off swaying to the music with the joy of a new soul drinking in all she can absorb.


• AMY sits across from Aaron and waves at him, trying to get his attention.


• AARON
• She looks nice.


• AMY
• That's what I've been trying to tell you, you dolt. That's my girlfriend. What is it with you? I swear, you're more attracted to lesbian women than I am.


• AARON
• I've just got no luck I guess.


• He sighs.


• Amy inspects her perfectly crafted nails.


• AMY
• Geez...if this goes on, we might just have to get you surgery.


• She pokes at him mockingly.


• AARON
• Shh, you, I'm quite happy being a guy; it just so happens that women from your tribe hold a special fascination for me.


• AMY
• Oh wait, wait...not my tribe.


• She flips her long hair.


• AMY
• You don't just like lesbians, you like butch girls. I don't know what happened to you inside Mom, but you are one messed up little boy.


• AARON
• Some would say the same about you...


• AMY
• What? I didn't hear you insult me. Speak up, mumbler.


• AARON
• Don't call me that.


• AMY
• Here's what we need to do...hook you up with a nice butch bi girl, then slowly ween you off onto straight chicks. If that doesn't work...we're just going to have to get you boobs.


• Aaron is still staring at Mia.


• AMY
• Hey, hey buddy...back off my woman.


• AARON
• It's my need to be...


• AMY
• Shh, I never need to hear my little brother say what he was about to say.


• AARON
• You're probably right. Still...


• He glances at Mia, then tries to focus on Amy.


• AMY
• Oh goodness! Fine! If you promise to keep your eyes off of Mia, I'll find you the butchest straight girl out there.


• AARON
• Oh you will, will you? That'd be super-d-dandy of you.


• AMY
• Sarcasm will get you nowhere.


• AARON
• This time, no fourth cousins, yeah?


• Amy waves as if to say "what's the big deal?"


• AARON
• And if she's a poet...even better.


• AMY
• Oh yeah? Mia's got some great stuff.


• AARON
• You're killing me, sis.


• AMY
• That's what I'm here for.


• AARON
• Great. Much appreciated.


• She smiles at him and he's forced to smile back.


• AMY
• Anytime, darlin'.


• FADE TO BLACK.
