#1 - I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
A boy and a girl are sitting at a table in a cafe. He is
staring at her, moon-eyed and obviously in love. She's less
interested, staring into the middle distance.
GIRL
Have you ever had that feeling
when you realise that that old
friend of yours may actually be
your one true love? How do you
going about telling them? How
can you look them in the eye
and tell them that you ache for
them, that all you want in the
whole world is to be with them?
BOY
Just do it. Just say the words.
GIRL
But I'm so scared. What if he
rejects me? I'd die, I'd just die.
BOY
He won't. He couldn't possibly,
not with someone like you.
GIRL
Well then, old friend, this may
come as a bit of a shock, but
I'm in love with --
BOY
(interrupting)
I love you too!
GIRL
What? I was talking about your
brother!
BOY?
Huh? Oh, I was talking about...
Bono. Isn't The Joshua Tree
great?
They both look away, embarrassed.
#2 - Bedtime
A little girl (DAUGHTER) in bed. An older man (BOYFRIEND)
sitting beside her in a chair.
BOYFRIEND
(very uncomfortable)
So, uh, okay, I guess --
DAUGHTER
You have to say "once upon a time"
BOYFRIEND
What? Oh yeah. So, once upon a
time, there was this cowboy --
DAUGHTER
-- Princess --
BOYFRIEND
-- Princess, right. So, one day
she found this magic sword --
DAUGHTER
Princesses don't have swords,
they have ponies!
BOYFRIEND
Look, I've never been any good
at this. I never really told
bedtime stories to my own kids.
I just really like your mother
a lot and I guess I was trying
to make her like me too. I'm
just going to go.
DAUGHTER
Wait, tell you what. Gimme twenty
bucks and I'll tell mom you told
me the best story ever
BOYFRIEND
Twenty bucks! You hustle all your
mom's boyfriends like this?
Shaking his head, he pays the $20 and goes to leave.
DAUGHTER
(quietly)
Hey, it's fifty for the ones I
don't like
