(Greg is sitting on a couch in a room of a small apartment watching TV.)

(Anthony enters smiling.)

ANTHONY
Hey.

GREG
Hey.

(He looks up from the TV.)

You look like you’re in a good mood.

ANTHONY
Yeah.

GREG
Any particular reason?

ANTHONY
Nope.

(He sits down on the couch next to Greg.)

What’re you watching?

(Beat.)

GREG
No, something definitely happened.

ANTHONY
What?

GREG
To you.

ANTHONY
Nothing specifically.

(Beat.)

(Greg suddenly smiles.)

GREG
You got lucky didn’t you?

ANTHONY
No.

GREG
You sure?

(Anthony laughs.)

ANTHONY
Yeah.

GREG
Then what happened?

ANTHONY
Nothing, just hung out with some friends, had a good time.

GREG
Any of them girls?

ANTHONY
Yeah.

(Greg smiles.)

GREG
I knew it.

ANTHONY
Honestly, that has nothing to do with this.

GREG
Sure.

ANTHONY
I just had a good time, that’s all.

GREG
Whatever.

(Beat.)

ANTHONY
You have a one track mind, you know that?

GREG
Hell yeah.

(They laugh.)

(Beat.)

ANTHONY
So what you watching?

GREG
Honestly?

(Beat.)

I have no idea.

(Blackout.)
