CHARACTERS
VINCENT, 17
DAVID, 17

(They are sitting on a couch watching TV.)

DAVID
How about you?

(Beat.)

VINCENT
(Slightly confused.)
What?

DAVID
What do you want to do?

VINCENT
Honestly? I have no fucking idea.

(Beat.)

I mean, sometimes I think I do, but there’s always part of me that wants the exact opposite so I never really know what—

DAVID
(Interrupting him, confused.)
What?

VINCENT
Huh?

DAVID
What are you talking about?

(Vincent looks at him with a look of thorough confusion.)

DAVID
I meant, what do you want to do now?

VINCENT
Now?

DAVID
Yeah.

(Beat.)

VINCENT
Oh.

(Beat.)

We could go see a movie or something.

DAVID
Hmm, maybe.

VINCENT
Some good ones just came out, we could meet some other people and see one of them.

(Beat.)

DAVID
Why not?

VINCENT
Cool.

(They get up, and leave the room.)

(Blackout.)
