MYSTERY GIRL
INT: Mike and Eric are sitting quietly on the bench. Paul joins them.
PAUL: (Enters scene and starts talking to Mike) Dude, what's up?
MIKE: Ya know what?
ERIC: What?
MIKE: Sue Anne Miller keeps looking at me real funny all the time, and
it gives me the creeps.
PAUL: Dude, girls are supposed to give you the creeps. They're creepy
creatures.
MIKE: But she's got this real weird look on her face, like she's sick
to her stomach or something.
ERIC: Then don't look at her.
MIKE: You can't help it when she's staring at you all the time like
with these big huge eyes that are all spacey and weird.
PAUL: That's because she likes you!
MIKE: No way. If she likes me how come she acts like a total jerk?
ERIC: Girls always act like jerks if they like you.
MIKE: That's crazy.
PAUL: All girls are crazy. That's their thing. If they weren't
crazy, they wouldn't be girls. They can make you goofy too.
MIKE: Yeah, they can. Like Sue Anne Miller looking at me with this
stupid smile on her face. When I look back at her, I get this creepy
feeling in my stomach like I just ate too much.
ERIC: That's because you like her too.
.
MIKE: Sue Anne Miller? You kidding? I can't stand Sue Anne Miller.
ERIC: I used to think I couldn't stand Janet Moore too. Because she
made me feel like a toad. I started to like back and now when she
looks at me I feel more like a lion.
MIKE: That's crazy.
PAUL: What do you feel like when Sue Anne stares at you?
MIKE: Awful.
PAUL: I mean, like what kind of animal?
MIKE: I dunno know. A pig maybe.
ERIC: That's because you like her.
MIKE: Because I feel like a pig?
PAUL: That's the way you're supposed to feel. Crummy. That means you
like her. Welcome to 'Boyhood' dude.
MIKE: YUCK!
