Featured Script – Pip’s Restaurant

FADE IN.

EXT. THE FRONT OF PIP’S RESTAURANT – EVENING

MUGGS and JUDD stand outside Pips.

MUGGS:  Every time I ask Sharon to meet me at Pip’s, she never meets me.

JUDD:  That’s alright.

MUGGS:  Why is it alright?

JUDD:  Cause I’m here.

MUGGS:  Yeah. You’re here. I guess I’m destined to live a life by my lonesome.

JUDD:  You have Tricksy, haven’t you?

MUGGS:  I’m really not talking about you or birds, Judd, alright? I’m talking about a woman’s touch. Oh, forget it! I sound like an idiot talking to a bigger idiot.

JUDD:  Sorry, Muggs. So, you wanna go in and get some sandwiches?

MUGGS:  I do. My stomach’s been growling since 2pm. But I waited, I waited like a gentleman should wait and she never showed.

JUDD:  Third time.

Muggs gives Judd a look.

Just sayin’…I think it’s the third—

MUGGS:  It’s the fourth time, alright? So what?! I believe in second chances.

JUDD:  Yeah but this is number four.

MUGGS:  I know it’s number four, Judd! I just told you it’s number freaking four.

JUDD:  I was just sayin’.

MUGGS:  Do me a favor and stop saying.

JUDD:  Sorry, Muggs.

(pause.)

So, you wanna go get them sandwiches, then?

MUGGS:  Go on in. I’ll be a minute. I just want to cool off.

JUDD:  You hot?

MUGGS:  Yeah, I’m hot. If I get any hotter I’m liable to melt right here, all over the pavement. How do you like that?

JUDD:  I don’t like that at all, Muggs. I don’t want you to melt anywhere, especially right here in front of Pip’s, our most favorite place.

MUGGS:  …I’m alright. I won’t melt. Just sore about Sharon not showing up. I don’t get it. Whenever she sees me she’s all lovey dovey. Always smiling, always engaging me in conversation, always asking me how I am, always throwing hints to hang out. I give her a shot to meet with me, and she’s a no show!

JUDD:  I’m here.

MUGGS:  I know. I know you’re here, buddy. (beat) I’m glad you’re here. You know, you may be, well, you’re a special kind of guy.

JUDD:  Thank you, Muggs. Ain’t no one ever called me special before. Do you really mean those words? I’m special?

MUGGS:  Why, of course you’re special. You are the most special guy I’ve ever known. How do you like that?

JUDD:  I like that very much, Muggs.

MUGGS:  How about that roast beef sandwich?

JUDD:  Can’t wai—

SHARON arrives looking radiant.
