The second episode of a web series I have been working on. |
INT. APARTMENT HALLWAY - DAY Matt and Toby are struggling, moving a couch down the hallway. MATT I can’t believe you. TOBY Why? MATT Why?! Not only did you buy a shitty apartment, but you tricked me into being your room mate. TOBY Oh that’s what you’re mad about? MATT Yeah of course I’m mad! I still have my apartment! TOBY Well you could always live there. No one said you had to live with me. MATT And find out you got stabbed one night when I could have protected you? No thanks. TOBY Oh here we go about the protecting thing again. We both know you couldn’t protect a Sandwich from a fat guy. MATT Whatever this just better work out. TOBY Don’t worry it will. Besides I didn’t force you to move in. MATT You knew what would happen bringing me here. They reach the door and set down the couch. Toby fumbles at the lock with the keys. MATT (CONT’D) And why do you have to keep locking the door if we’re going to be in and out? TOBY You kidding me?! I’m not leaving the door unlocked in this neighborhood. MATT Yet you’ll move into this neighborhood. TOBY Hey it made sense at the time. MATT Your sense must have been telling you that you wanted to get stabbed. And anything makes sense with a pair of breasts dangling in your face. TOBY Good point. Toby gets the door open and they pick the couch back up. MATT So how much is the rent on this place anyway? TOBY A thousand a month. MATT (Angry) Are you fucking kidding me! TOBY What is that a lot? MATT Yes it’s a lot! We might actually have to sell our kidneys. Do you have a thousand dollars to spend every month? TOBY Well I thought we would both pay five hundred. MATT Do you have five hundred to spend every month? TOBY Well not really. They carry the couch through the door. CUT TO: INT. APARTMENT LIVING ROOM - DAY Matt and Toby carry the couch into the room. MATT So where are you working? TOBY What do you mean? They put down the couch. MATT Where’s your job? TOBY I don’t have a job. MATT (More angry) What the fuck man?! TOBY (Defensive) What?! MATT Not only did you rent a very shitty, very expensive apartment, but you don't even have a job to pay for rent?! TOBY Don’t worry about it man I got it all figured out. I figure when it’s time to pay up I can just seduce Brooke and sex her up. That should take care of it. MATT Oh my god. That’s never gonna’ happen or work. TOBY (Defensive.) Well look at you. You don’t think I could get her. MATT I know you can’t but that’s besides the point. TOBY Oh no, it’s the only point! What makes you think I couldn’t get a girl like her? MATT There’s no way Brooke would go for a guy like you. Women want a polite sophisticated man. And you’re, well and asshole. Not to mention an asshole without a job. TOBY You know not all girls are looking for stuck up douche bags. Some just want a wild sex machine. MATT Well I’ll let you know if I meet one of them and you can point him in Brooke’s direction. TOBY You are such a dick. Matt walks to a cooler and open it to get a drink and then sits on it. MATT If I were you I’d be more worried about finding a job rather then wether or not you can bang Brooke for the rent. TOBY Yeah you’re just scared she would like me better. MATT (Sarcastic) Yeah that’s exactly what I’m worried about. Now what are you going to do for work? TOBY I’m not sure. I could always go into prostitution. Matt buries his face in his hands. MATT Oh my god, why did I ever agree to move in with you? TOBY Cause you were worried. MATT What? What does that mean? TOBY You’re scared to leave me alone. MATT Trust me. That doesn’t bother me at all. TOBY Well what if I was attacked by a large mob and you weren't here to defend me? MATT Well that's easy, then I wont be getting my ass kicked by a large mob. TOBY You’re so selfish. Well at least together we wont have to worry about zombies. MATT (Confused) Excuse me? TOBY You know when the world is overrun by zombies and we have to fight for survival. MATT You have got to be fucking kidding me. TOBY Zombies are no laughing matter. I never kid about that. At least with us living together we wont have to scour the city looking for each other to make sure we are alright. MATT Well thank god there’s not such thing as zombies and we wont have to worry about that. Toby has an angry look on his face. TOBY You can be as pessimistic as you want but you’ll regret not having a zombie plan. Toby storms into his room and slams the door. Matt shakes his head. MATT Idiot. End of episode 2 |
