INT. OLD BULL - EVENING
We are in the Old Bull pub. We are at a table were NEIL and KATIE are sat. Neil has a pint of lager; Katie has a glass of wine. Neil is 20 but looks a few years older and is unshaven with a couple of week's stubble growth.
He is around 6ft tall and well built although his muscle aren't obviously visible as he is dressed in his usual attire, brown leather jacket, jeans and a t-shirt which is too small for him.
Katie, 17, has made an effort and is dressed in a low cut top with a short skirt and stiletto heels which match her top. She wears a lot of make-up with manicured nails and has a fake-tan.
Katie looks like she doesn't want to be with Neil. Neil puts his arm around Katie's shoulder but Katie shrugs him off her turning her body away from him and looking at the T.V which is playing music videos from the jukebox.
Arctic Monkeys 'Fluorescent Adolescent' is the video with the song on the line of 'The best you've ever had is just a memory and those dreams, weren't as daft as they seem' being particularly poignant to Katie.
Neil picks up his pint and takes a long swig muttering to himself obviously wondering what he is doing wrong with Katie.
Dave and Georgie enter and sit down with drinks in hand. Georgie is in the same clothes as the previous scene. Dave has got changed into a smart casual polo shirt and boot cut jeans which are ripped at the bottom. Both are wearing bright coloured trainers, Dave's are Adidas and Georgie's are Nike.
Neil checks an imaginary watch on his wrist and looks at Georgie with disgust. Georgie blanks Neil. Katie turns back round from the looking at the T.V and smiles at Georgie and Dave trying to move further away from Neil's clutches.
NEIL
You're late, as usual.
Put t'routine all t'cock.
Neil re-arranges his jacket for effect.
DAVE
We're only late 'cause
Georgie was showing me
something on her mobile.
Neil gives Georgie a look similar to that which Mum was giving her.
NEIL
Was she now?
So that's what students do
while I'm graftin' all day.
Georgie shows Neil her mobile phone.
GEORGIE
I've put is as my screensaver.
Neil's eyes bulge out as he looks at the mobile trying to work out the picture.
NEIL
Is that what I think it is?
(beat)
Ney!
Neil shakes his head in disgust. Dave laughs at Neil. The girls' don't find Neil's reaction funny.
NEIL
You've got it pierced
down instead of across.
DAVE
Apparently she gets a
better sensation that way.
KATIE
Let us see.
Neil gives the mobile to Katie who raises her eyebrows when she sees the picture.
KATIE
What's that!
Neil, Dave and Georgie start laughing at Katie being naive.
GEORGIE
Come on Katie,
you have got one yourself.
KATIE
Oh, right. Did it not hurt?
GEORGIE
I couldn't have sex for
six weeks after but its
been worth it since.
NEIL
If you can call what
you have 'sex'.
GEORGIE
D'ya want me to send it to you?
NEIL
While you're doin' nowt.
Katie passes the mobile back to Georgie who looks like she is sending a picture on her mobile.
DAVE
Oh, so you're the type of
lad who only likes lesbians,
when they're sending you
pictures of their pimped
up Morris Minor?
NEIL
Well, she did offer.
I bet that she's shown
you the real thing.
GEORGIE
(still looking at her mobile)
He passed out before I had a chance.
DAVE
I did not!
Georgie nods her head mouthing "he did" whilst still looking at her mobile. Neil grins like a Cheshire Cat and takes a large swig of his pint to celebrate his little victory over his best mate.
GEORGIE
What's your 'Bluetooth' name?
NEIL
Well, I wasn't quite sure
how t'job worked, so I
got Dave to set it up.
DAVE
It's The Jacket.
Neil smiles and re-arranges the jacket in question. Katie's mobile starts RINGING. Katie looks at the mobile and stands up.
KATIE
I've just got to answer this.
Neil tries to kiss Katie. Katie shrugs him off and exits. Neil gives Katie the fingers behind her back. Georgie puts her mobile down.
Neil takes a large swig of his pint and holds his pint up looking at it with genuine affection. Georgie looks at Neil like he is weird; Dave has to stop himself from laughing at Georgie's reaction.
NEIL
What does it mean when you're
avoiding someone's calls?
GEORGIE
I'm gay! What do I know?
NEIL
Be like that then.
Neil finishes the end of his pint. Georgie stands up and takes out an orange from her knickers. Neil's eyes almost pop out of his head. Georgie sniffs the orange.
GEORGIE
I think it's goin' a bit off this.
NEIL
Has it now?!
GEORGIE
Still, it'll be okay to make a vodka
and orange if you want it?
Georgie offers the orange to Neil.
NEIL
Don't talk so daft.
Neil stands up and exits. Georgie sticks her tongue out at him as he goes.
