Three college friends end up becoming roommates. One has grown up, while the other two are finding it hard to leave their college days behind them.

FADE IN:

EXT. COLLEGE CAMPUS - AFTERNOON

An abundance of sunshine beams down upon a college campus.
With lush green trees and vibrant in bloom multi-colored
flowers. All of which illuminate life upon a SEA OF
STUDENTS, both MALE and FEMALE.

Some students are mingling among one another. Having a good
time LAUGHING AND CHATTING.

While others are SCURRYING along with over stocked books in
hand.

We see the different types of factions sprawled out around
the campus.
The NERDS, the MEATHEAD JOCKS and the BEAUTIFUL GIRLS.

COLTON (V.O.)
Well, I guess this is the
place where my so called story
begins. Here at this glorious
campus. Although, it wasn't so
glorious for me...(PAUSES) See I
wasn't your typical center of a
crowd type of guy. Instead I
was your all books, no parties
kind of guy and I know what
you are all thinking. That I'm
the cliche
label of what most people
would call a dull boy, but
it's who I was and actually
who I am to this very day.
In fact I've been that way
from day one. For some strange
reason I really thought I
could change all that when I
went to college. Needless to
say that never did happen. I
was still the same clean cut,
proper looking attire guy with
his nose stuck deep in the
books and as much as I really
hate to admit it but college
really did feel like high
school all over again.

INT. MEN'S BATHROOM - AFTERNOON

(COLTON, 2 JOCKS, REECE)

THREE GUYS enter into a men's bathroom.

Two of the guys are JOCKS, in their EARLY TWENTIES packed
with nothing more than muscle and no brains.
The jocks are escorting a very reluctant guy by the arms. In
between them with a firm and overpowering grip over to a
stall.
The man is COLTON HEIGHTS, also in his EARLY TWENTIES, the
clean shaving, proper attire wearing guy.

Both jocks are pretending to be friendly with Colton.

FREEZE FRAME

COLTON (V.O.)
Now you may or may not have
figured this out yet but that
guy stuck in between those two
over-sized alpha male jocks. Is
me. I'm about to get my daily
swirly. Yes, you heard right. I
said swirly. It just doesn't
happen in elementary school or
even high school. In fact it
was something that unfortunately
followed me throughout every
grade.

UNFREEZE FRAME.

JOCK 1
(PATTING COLTON ON THE BACK) Now,
now Colton. Buddy ole' pal.
You didn't think you were going
to get a freebie today. Did
you.

JOCK 2
Yeah, you didn't think you
could deprive us of our fun.

COLTON
(SARCASM) Now why would I ever
think to do that. There's
nothing more I love than
getting my head dunked into a
toilet bowl. All in the name
of fun.

JOCK 1
(WITH A SMILE) That's the spirit
buddy.

Jock 2 opens the stall door.

Colton RELUCTANTLY walks in.

The two jocks follow behind.

One of the jocks closes the stall door.

SOUND: TOILET FLUSHING

Soon after the stall door opens up.

The two jocks walk out from the stall.

Both jocks are sporting a huge smile from ear to ear.

Colton is left behind, kneeling next to the toilet. His hair
and shirt now all wet.

JOCK 1
(WALKING AWAY) See you again
buddy.

JOCK 2
(WALKING BEHIND JOCK 1) Enjoy your
day.

Colton stands up and takes a moment to gather himself.
He then begins to head out from the stall. When he BUMPS
into a man.

The man is REECE AGLER, a MID-TWENTIES guy who is very laid
back. Who's always looking to have fun.

Reece is also a friend of Colton's.

REECE
Washing your hair in the
toilet again.

COLTON
(SARCASM) Yeah, I ran out of
water in my dorm room.

REECE
Maybe one day you'll actually
stand up to those guys.

COLTON
(WALKING OVER TO MIRROR) Yeah,
maybe one day.

Colton begins to fix his hair with his hands.

REECE
Don't worry. There is always
tomorrow.

COLTON
I know. That's the sad and
unfortunate part.

REECE
Anyway, I guess I'll see you
in class.

COLTON
You're actually going to show
up today.

REECE
I think so. I don't have
anything better going on.

REECE (CONT.)
(HOLDING A ROLLED MAGAZINE UP)
Well if you don't mind I have
some reading to do. My new
issue of Bass Master came in
today and I want to read a
couple articles before class
starts.

COLTON
Bass Master... really... you sure
there's a B at the beginning
of that word.

REECE
Of course there is. What other
magazine do you think I would
be reading in the bathroom
stall?

COLTON
First... you never read
anything. Second... never mind.
I'm going to leave you to it
cause I got class in ten
minutes and I don't want to
be late. So you have fun.

REECE
(ENTHUSIASTICALLY) Oh I will.

Reece heads into the bathroom stall and closes the door.

Colton grabs some paper towels and starts to dry off his
shirt.

COLTON (V.O.)
Well, that guy there is Reece
Agler. I guess you can say
he's a friend. Even though we
are as opposite as any two
could get. In fact aside from
MYLES DONNELL, who was my
roommate that I shared a dorm
with. Who I'm pretty sure
right about now is passed out
from last nights keg party.
Was my only other friend.

INT. DORM BEDROOM - AFTERNOON

(MYLES)

Myles is half hanging off a bed in just his boxers and plain
white t-shirt.

Passed out SNORING.

COLTON (V.O.)
Talk about a guy with no
ambition what so ever. I was
just thankful graduation was
only a couple weeks away.

INT. HALLWAY - DAY

Colton is walking in the hallway when he reaches his
classroom.

Colton reaches out to grab the doorknob.

MATCH CUT TO
APARTMENT DOOR
OPENING

INT. APARTMENT - EVENING

(REECE, COLTON, MYLES)

SUPER- 18 MONTHS LATER

Colton walks into the apartment.

We hear a voice in the background.

The voice is that of Reece.

Reece is playing a video game on-line with others.

Reece has a headset on and a PS4 paddle in his hands.

Reece is very into the game. By his over the top display of
body movements.

A coffee table is CLUTTERED with pizza boxes, snack
wrappers, chip bags, and empty beer bottles.

REECE
(INTO HEADSET) Hey you need to
tell me where these mines are at.
I keep stepping on them every
time.

REECE
(SARCASM) No I'm not setting them.
I think I would remember if I did.

Reece hears the door apartment door close.

REECE
Hey Colton, you're home early.

COLTON
(CONFUSED LOOK) No. I'm home at
the usual time like always. You
would know that if you could pry
your eyes away from that game to
look at the clock.

REECE
You know I can't do that. This is
an enticing and very intense game.
Which takes a lot of skill to
play. Not to mention great hand
eye coordination.

COLTON
None of which you possess.

Colton walks over to the fridge.

REECE
(FRUSTRATED, INTO HEADSET) DAMMIT!
Did I not just tell you to remind
me about the mines.

REECE
Oh yeah, you're right. I did set
that one. My bad.

Colton pulls out a bottle of water from the fridge.

COLTON
Where's Myles?

REECE
(PLAYING VIDEO GAME) He's making a
beer run.

COLTON
You mean he actually got off the
sofa to do something.

REECE
(STILL PLAYING VIDEO GAME) He had
no choice. He lost the bet.

COLTON
What bet.

Colton begins to take a sip from his water.

REECE
The bet of how many girls you have
been with.

Colton QUICKLY contains himself from spitting out his water.
Almost swallowing it down the wrong way in the process.

COLTON
Wait. What.

REECE
Yeah. We had to guess how many
girls you've been with in the past
year.

COLTON
And what did he say.

REECE
Much to my surprise he said one.

COLTON
But I haven't been with anyone.

REECE
I know. That's why he was wrong.

COLTON
So you answered correctly.

REECE
Technically no.

COLTON
What was your answer.

REECE
Negative one.

COLTON
(CONFUSED LOOK) How is that even
possible.

REECE
It was the closest without going
over. So I didn't want to say zero
and lose the bet. Duh, I thought
you were suppose to be the smart
one.

COLTON
(DUMBFOUNDED) I don't even know
how to respond to that.

COLTON (CONT.)
Besides. It just so happens that I
have myself a date tonight.

REECE
(INTO HEADSET) Hold on. Pause
play. My roommate just said he has
a date tonight.

REECE
(SARCASM) I know. Right.

Reece puts down the paddle and takes off the headset.

Reece stands up from the sofa and walks over to Colton.

REECE
Now this date is it with an actual
girl.

COLTON
Yes. With an actual girl.

REECE
(SHOCKED) Wow Colton. How in the
world did this happen.

COLTON
I bumped into her at the coffee
shop this morning. While I was on
my way to work.

REECE
Just to clarify. By bumped
into her. You didn't actually
bump into her.

COLTON
(HESITATION) Yes. I literally
bumped into her. Spilling my
coffee all over her nice
blouse.

REECE
That must have went over well.

COLTON
At first no but given the current
circumstances at the time and the
after shock of having extremely
hot coffee poured onto her wore
off. She was actually quite cool
about the whole thing. So I just
came out and asked if I could make
it up to her by taking her to
dinner.

REECE
And she actually said yes.

COLTON
I'm going on a date aren't I.

REECE
You sure she wasn't still in shock
from the hot coffee being spilled
over her. When she said yes.

Colton gives Reece a STERN look.

COLTON
Yes. I'm sure.

10.

REECE
(PATTING COLTON ON THE SHOULDER)
Well than congrats buddy. When
Myles comes back with the beer.
I'll have a toast to you.

COLTON
You go ahead and do that but right
now I have to go and get ready for
my date.

Colton starts to walk away.

REECE
Actually, I have to ask one
question.

Colton stops and turns around.

COLTON
What's that.

REECE
This girl wouldn't by any chance
happen to be blind?

COLTON
(EMPHATICALLY) No she's not blind.

REECE
(HANDS IN AIR) Just making sure.
It's not every day that you come
home and say that you have a date.

COLTON
Why don't you just go back to
playing your video game. I'm sure
your gaming buddies are missing
you.

Colton walks away to his room.

Reece walks back to the sofa and starts to put the headset
on when Myles opens the door and walks into the apartment
with a brown paper bag.

Myles stands tall with his chest puffed out.

MYLES
Have no fear. I have the beer.

11.

REECE
There you are. I thought I was
going to have to start putting up
missing person signs.

MYLES
Awe, you missed me.

REECE
(INTO HEADSET) Sorry to have to do
this but I'm going to have to cut
this game short. The the roommate
just came back with beer.

Reece puts the headset down and walks over towards Myles.

REECE
So really what took you so long.
Did you have to brew the beer
yourself.

Myles pulls out the beer from the bag. Handing Reece one and
taking another for himself.

MYLES
Well, it just so happened that I
bumped into a girl while I was
getting the beer.

REECE
(OPENING BEER) Wait. I'm having
instant deja vu right now. You
didn't actually bump into her. Did
you?

MYLES
No. That's something Colton would
do.

Myles put the rest of the beer in the fridge.

MYLES
(OPENING BEER) I figuratively
bumped into her and you know we
started talking the whole mumble
jumbo. None of which I was hearing
cause I was solely focused on her
breasts. Anyway, before I know it
she's writing her number on the
palm of my hand. Then I'm asking
her if I could take her out to
dinner.

12.

REECE
(SMILING) You dog you. Making it
seem so easy.

Reece and Myles fist bump each other.

MYLES
(CONCEITED)
Well, I've had a lot of experience
in perfecting my craft.

REECE
(BOWS HEAD) This is true. My
sin-say.

Colton walks out from his room. Looking all dressed up. With
a BUTTONED DOWN SHIRT and a slick pair of KHAKIS.

MYLES
Wow. Look at this sharp dressed
man.

REECE
Damn Colton. ZZ Top is somewhere
smiling right about now.

COLTON
(SLIGHT MODESTY) This is nothing.
I just threw it together.

MYLES
What's the occasion?

COLTON
It so happens that I have myself a
date tonight.

MYLES
(SHOCKED) A date.

REECE
(TO MYLES WITH SARCASM) I know.
It's hard to believe.

MYLES
(TO COLTON) Did you have to pay
for her?

COLTON
No I did not have to pay for her.
Look just because I haven't been
with multiple women like you two
have(POINTS FINGERS AT REECE AND
MYLES) Doesn't mean I can't find a
(MORE)

13.

COLTON (cont'd)
girl on my own to go out on a
date. Without having to (WITH
FINGER QUTATIONS) "pay for her
time".

MYLES
No offense buddy but it's not
everyday you go out on a date.

REECE
(TO MYLES) Try like never.

COLTON
Okay. Okay. As much as I'd love to
stand here all night and listen to
you guys poke fun at my never ever
having dates. I really must get
going.

Colton walks over to the door and opens it.

REECE
Hey Colton.

Colton stops and turns around to face Reece.

REECE
Don't do anything I would do.

COLTON
Believe me. I won't be doing
anything that you would do.

MYLES
And remember, don't snip the tip
cause it makes it useless. Which
in turn renders it defected.
Preventing it from serving its
true intended purpose.

Colton is shakes his head with a dumbfounded look. Trying to
comprehend what Myles has said.

COLTON
You know what never mind. I'm not
going to try and pretend that I
understood what you meant by that.

Colton walks out of the apartment. Closing the door behind
him.

14.

REECE
Yeah, I don't think he knows how
to take what you just told him.
I'm not even sure I do.

MYLES
Just giving him some wise advice
from past experiences.

REECE
Okay. Do I even want to know.

MYLES
(SHAKING HEAD) Probably not.

MYLES (CONT.)
Anyway, I'm going to go freshen
myself up for my date.

REECE
Should I be concerned at all. That
Colton has a date tonight and I
don't.

MYLES
Honestly, yes. I would be very
concerned.

REECE
Yeah. I can't be the only one on a
Friday night. That doesn't have a
date.

REECE (CONT.)
Maybe I'll go to the bar and
(EMPHASIS ON BUMP) bump into a
girl.

Myles points both index fingers over towards Reece.

MYLES
That a boy. That's the spirit.

Myles walks away to his room.

CUT TO:

INT. RESTAURANT - NIGHT

(COLTON, WAITER)

15.

Colton is sitting at a table anxiously waiting for his date
to arrive.

The restaurant is an upscale and fancy establishment. With
fine eating and top of the line service.

A WAITER walks past Colton.

The WAITER is a middle-aged man. He is dressed up in a
formal uniform.

Colton calls for the waiter.

COLTON
Excuse me sir.

The waiter stops and turns around. He begins to walk over to
Colton.

COLTON
Could I get your most
expensive bottle of wine.

WAITER
Yes, you sure can. I shall be
right back.

The waiter walks away.

Colton picks his cell phone up from the table to see if
there are any messages or missed calls.

A disappointed look comes upon Colton's face.

Moments later we see the waiter come back with a bottle of
wine.

WAITER
(HOLDING BOTTLE OF WINE) Would you
like me to pour you a glass?

COLTON
Please.

WAITER
(POURING CHAMPAGNE) So what's the
special occasion?

COLTON
I'm just having a nice dinner
with a girl I met today.

16.

WAITER
I see. You normally go all
out like this for a girl you
just met.

COLTON
Sadly, this type of thing
doesn't happen all the time
and sadly, if it did I
probably would go all out like
this.

WAITER
Well, none the less it's a
nice gesture and I think the
lady will definitely appreciate
it.

WAITER (CONT.)
Will that be all for now?

COLTON
Yes. Thank you.

The waiter walks away.

Colton takes a sip from his wine.

Colton again checks his cell phone. Still no messages or
calls.

Colton continues to wait patiently.

SUPER 2 HOURS LATER.

Colton is still waiting for his date to arrive.

The bottle of wine is empty and Colton is now tipsy from
drinking it by himself.

The waiter walks up to Colton.

WAITER
Your date still hasn't arrived.

COLTON
(SLURRING WORDS) Nope and I'm
starting to think I may have
been stood up.

WAITER
Maybe she is just running
late. You know how girls are.

17.

COLTON
(STILL TIPSY) I don't but if I
did, two hours late. With no
phone call or message. That
has to be a red flag.

WAITER
Since you put it like that.
Than yeah, you got stood up.

WAITER (CONT.)
Don't worry though. It happens
to the best of us. Even Evil
Knievel didn't land every jump.

COLTON
(STILL TIPSY) I don't know who
this Evil Knievel is and I'm not
exactly sure what you mean by
that but from where I'm sitting
it kind of sounded like you might
have been speaking in euphemism.

COLTON (CONT.)
Anyhow, what do I owe for the
wine?

WAITER
Three.

COLTON
Three. Like three dollars.

WAITER
No. Three as in three hundred
dollars.

COLTON
(TIPSY with SARCASM) Three hundred
dolars. Did you step on the grapes
yourself.

WAITER
I didn't. Although, you did
request the best and that
particular wine happens to be our
best.

COLTON
I would hope so at that price and
to think I was going to order the
lobster.

18.

Colton reaches into his back pocket and begins to FUMBLE
around for his wallet.

Colton finally manages to take his wallet out.

He opens it up and takes out his credit card and hands it
over to the waiter.

WAITER
(TAKING CREDIT CARD) Just look at
it this way. The night wasn't
a total lost. At least you
caught a good buzz.

COLTON
(TIPSY) I am feeling pretty
darn good. Even though I'll
still be waking up all alone
in the morning.

WAITER
That's not necessarily true.

COLTON
How do you figure.

WAITER
You'll have a nice hangover in
the morning. It could actually
help distract you from being
stood up. That is if you can
remember being stood up.

COLTON
(POINTING AND WAVING FINGER AT
WAITER) You sure do know all
the right things to say to a
bummed out slash drunk guy.

WAITER
I try. Besides look at it
from the glass being half full.

COLTON
(HOLDING UP EMPTY WINE GLASS) Or
in this case just empty.
Literally.

WAITER
Would you like me to arrange
a ride. While I run your card.

19.

COLTON
No thanks. I'm good. I may
not be able to get the girl
to show up for dinner but I
think I can manage to get an
Uber to show up and take me
home.

WAITER
Very well.

The waiter walks away.

FADE TO:

INT. PIZZA PLACE - NIGHT

(MYLES, ANGELA, WAITRESS)

Myles is sitting in a booth at at a local pizza shop.

Sitting across from Myles is a GIRL named ANGELA, a petite
brunette in her TWENTIES. Who is easy on the eyes but not
too bright.

Myles and Angela are sharing a pizza. With a pitcher of
beer.

ANGELA
(GRABBING A SLICE OF PIZZA) I
can't believe how much fun I'm
having.

MYLES
(POURING A GLASS OF BEER) Well, I
did make it my mission to
make sure you had fun tonight.

ANGELA
Is that so.

MYLES
Absolutely, it's my duty to
make sure the ladies have as
much fun as possible.

ANGELA
Oh, really. I bet you run
that line on all the girls you
take out.

20.

MYLES
Only the pretty ones.

ANGELA
OMG!... Myles do you think I'm
pretty.

MYLES
Why yes. Indeed I do.

ANGELA
You sure that's not the beer
talking.

MYLES
No but it very well could be
the pizza.

MYLES (CONT.)
After all these anchovies
happen to be an aphrodisiac.

ANGELA
Aphrodisiac. I don't know what
that is.

Myles tries to act sophisticated.

MYLES
Well an aphrodisiac is when
a...actually, I don't know what
aphrodisiac is. I was just
trying to sound all
sophisticated. By using a big
fancy word.

ANGELA
(WAVING AND POINTING FINGER AT
MYLES) You said sophisticated.
Is that another big fancy word.

Myles displays a dumbfounded look on his face.

ANGELA (CONT.)
You user of big fancy words
you.

MYLES
That's me. There's no limit to
my vocabulary. Webster has
nothing on me.

21.

ANGELA
Who's Webster?

MYLES
The dictionary.

ANGELA
There's a dictionary named
Webster.

Myles looks at Angela with another dumbfounded look on his
face.

A WAITRESS, in her Early TWENTIES, walks over to the booth.

WAITRESS
(PUTTING BILL DOWN ON TABLE) You
two are all set whenever you're
ready. No rush.

MYLES
(TO WAITRESS) Thank you.

The waitress walks away.

Myles picks up the bill and looks at it. A very relieved
expression comes upon his face.

ANGELA
You okay?

MYLES
Yeah, yeah. I just cut it a
little close with the bill.

ANGELA
Do you need me to pitch in?

MYLES
Nonsense. I got this.

Myles reaches in his pocket and pulls out a 20 dollar bill.

Myles then reaches in his pocket again and pulls out a
handful of coins and puts it with the 20 dollar bill.

ANGELA
Wow. I'm making you reach deep
into the piggy bank for this
one.

22.

MYLES
Hey, nothing but the best for
the lady.

ANGELA
(SMILING) And nothing says the
best like pizza and beer.

MYLES
Right. I'm just glad I didn't
decide to take you out for
lobster and wine.

Angela give a quick chuckle.

MYLES (CONT.)
So...would it be presumptuous
of me to think that maybe you
would like to come back to my
place for an couple drinks.

ANGELA
There you go again. Using those
big fancy words.

MYLES
Sorry. It's like I use one
big fancy word. Than next thing
you know every other word is a
big fancy word. Thank you
Webster.

ANGELA
You know I'm really going to
have to meet this Webster guy.
Maybe he could teach me a
fancy word or two.

MYLES
Anyway, how about those drinks.

ANGELA
You wouldn't happen to by any
chance have a game in mind
that you would want to play.

Myles once again tries to be all sophisticated. With very
little success.

MYLES
(SOPHISTICATED) No. Games are
for kids. The only games I
play are Crossword and Sudoku.

23.

ANGELA
I don't know what those are
but they sound really hard to
play.

MYLES
Maybe to the untrained amateur
but not for this here guy.

ANGELA
(ABRUPTLY) Do you just want to
play a game of naked twister.

Myles is caught off guard.

MYLES
(WIDE-EYED) I most certainly
would.

ANGELA
Great. After you.

Myles QUICKLY gets up from the booth. Angela follows behind
Myles. The two head out of the pizza place together.

CUT TO:

INT. APARTMENT - NIGHT

(COLTON, MYLES, ANGELA)

Colton is in the kitchen sitting on a stool. Next to a
circular shaped island, spinning an empty water bottle
around with his fingers.

Colton has a very disappointed look upon his face.

Moments later Reece and Angela open the apartment door.

Reece and Angela are both laughing and having fun.

Colton stops spinning the bottle and looks up towards Reece
and Angela.

A confused look comes upon Colton's face.

Myles and Angela see Colton and immediately become quiet.

ANGELA
(SURPRISED) Colton.

24.

COLTON
(CONFUSED LOOK) Angela.

Myles' smile is now gone and a confused look takes its
place.

Myles starts to point back and fourth between Colton and
Angela.

MYLES
You two know each other.

ANGELA
Yeah, we met earlier today.

COLTON
We were suppose to meet up
and have dinner together.

Angela takes a deep breath in.

COLTON
(TO ANGELA) Thanks for showing
up by the way. I guess you
were too busy having fun with
my roommate instead.

Angela is still unsure of what to say at this point. So she
comes up with an odd excuse to tell Colton and Myles why she
has to suddenly leave.

ANGELA
(TO MYLES) You know. I just
remembered something. My
neighbors are out of town on
vacation and they wanted me to
mow the lawn for them. So um,
yeah, I'm, I'm going to go do that
right now.

Angela looks at Myles.

ANGELA
I had fun.

Angela looks over to Colton.

ANGELA
(SYMPATHETICALLY) Sorry.

Angela QUICKLY SCURRIES out. Closing the door behind her.

Myles still has a confused look on his face.

25.

MYLES
Well, that wasn't awkward in
any way.

COLTON
(FRUSTRATED) You know what it's
okay. I should be used to this
by now. Both you and Reece
getting all the girls and all
the attention. While poor ole
Colton gets left out. All by
his lonesome self.

COLTON (Cont.)
In fact I'm starting to think I
should write a book about it.
Probably wouldn't be a best seller
though cause no one would want to
read about poor ole' lonesome
Colton.

MYLES
Come on now. You know that's
not fair. I had know idea
that you were suppose to meet
up with that girl for dinner.

Myles walks from the door up to the island and stands across
from Colton.

COLTON
Would it have changed anything
if you did.

MYLES
Of course it would have. Why would
you even ask that.

COLTON
I don't know. Maybe it was
from all those times back in
college.

Myles pauses for a moment to think back.

MYLES
That was college man. I was
young and stupid.

COLTON
And what's your excuse now.

26.

MYLES
(PAUSES FOR A MOMENT) Okay. You
got me with that one.

Colton EMPHATICALLY stands up from the stool and starts to
walk away in frustration.

COLTON
This is beyond pointless right
now. I'm going to bed. My head
is absolutely pounding.

Myles SCURRIES up to Colton and grabs his arm.

Colton turns around facing Myles.

MYLES
(SYMPATHETIC) Listen man. Things
have changed. We're not in
college anymore, even though I
still act like I am at times.
It doesn't mean that I'm not a
good friend cause I am. We've
known each other for a while
now and you need to know that
I sincerely would not have gone
out with that girl. If I had
known you were suppose to meet
her for dinner. So I hope you
can accept my apology cause I
am sincerely sorry from the
bottom of my heart for tonight.

Colton is speechless for a moment. Absorbing what Myles has
just said to him.

Colton than takes a deep breath in and exhales out.

COLTON
Since you put it like that. While
sounding sincere. I can accept
your apology. I know aside from
all the daily shenanigans
between you and Reece. We have
been through a lot together as
friends. So I know deep down
that you wouldn't intentionally
do something of this nature to
hurt me.

Myles extends his fist out to Colton.

Colton reaches his fist out to Myles and the two fist bump.

MYLES
So does this mean we are
still bros.

COLTON
Yeah. We're still bros.

MYLES
Awesome cause you know how the
saying goes, bros before...

COLTON
(CUTS MYLES OFF) I know the
saying.

MYLES
Well this has been an
interesting night to say the
least.

COLTON
It certainly has. In fact it is
just a little too much for my
pounding head to take in. I think
I'm going to officially call it
a night and get some sleep. My
head is like a carousel right
now.

MYLES
Drink a little too much.

COLTON
Just a three hundred dollar
bottle of wine.

MYLES
Ouch.

MYLES (CONT.)
Again man, I'm sorry.

Colton walks away to his room.

While Myles walks over to the sofa.

Myles stops and turns around towards Colton.

MYLES
Hey Colton.

Colton stops and turns around.

28.

MYLES
(POINTING TO COLTON) Bros.

Colton gives Myles a smile. Along with a nod.

Colton then proceeds to walk off to his bedroom.

Myles then turns around and walks to the sofa. Taking a
seat.

Myles picks up the TV remote and turns the TV on. He lays
his back against the sofa and unwinds. Taking in a breath
and exhaling with a smile.

FADE OUT.
