EXT.

PLAZA - CITY PARK - NIGHT

EVERYONE is frozen like mannequins.

We float around the scene as CARL (53), a bald white guy,


and TYRONE (28), a tall hip black dude, both grip a silver
bike as if they were statues in a tug of war.

We snake around & glide passed a frozen, preppie WENDY (21)


kneeling over the unconscious body of a handsome, preppie,
JOSH (32).

If she confirms your story, you get
the bike.

Fine, man. She's the "bad guy" here.

behind him. They enter the park and...

6.

WENDY
I was wrong to think I could fix
your issues. Can't do it anymore.

BLAKE
You think breaking up with me in a
public place will stop me, Wendy?

Blake backhands Wendy across her face. He moves to grab her


hair, but she blocks his hand and stomps his foot.

Wendy throws a cup of water at Blake, so she can flee.

Blake darts after her. Blake grabs Wendy's scarf, but she
unravels it as she makes her escape.

And his box of chocolates scatter. Wendy is thrown off the
bike. The bike crashes to the ground. Wheels spinning.

turns Josh over. Feels for a pulse.

Sir? Sir! Please wake up. Please.
Somebody help us. Help.

Excuse me, sir.

All good, buddy.

BLAKE
What have you done now, Wendy?

Just go away, Blake. Time to let it
go. I need to take care of this guy.

BLAKE
No. You don't. But you do need to
take care of me. Now move it.

Blake grabs Wendy's wrist. She lands a punch on Blake's face.

Not the face, bitch.

My funny guy. You okay, Josh?

JOSH
Eh. I'll live.

Now that's what I'm talking about.

Marcos hands over the bike to Tyrone. Tyrone climbs on. In

Look, dude, that's crazy girl...

Woman.

Crazy woman. She's in trouble. We
should do something.

I'm good, Marcos. Go be a hero.
That's why I love you.

pedals fast.

EXT. STREET - NIGHT

That's the whole point of breaking
up with you. You don't own me.

into his car.

MARCOS
I suggest you let her go.
9.

BLAKE
Oh, yeah? Who are you two?

TYRONE
We're your worst nightmare if you
don't let her go.

MARCOS
And that means forever. Clearly she
doesn't want you in her life anymore.

BLAKE
What if I don't listen to you punks?

TYRONE
We'll find you.

MARCOS
Think we're bluffing? Try us.

Josh wanders over.

(to Josh)
And I'm majorly sorry for hitting you.
10.

Marcos gives Josh a huge bearhug and a kiss on the cheek.

MARCOS
It'll take more than that to keep my
man down. He's got a thick skull.

JOSH
And a Happy Anniversary to you too.

TYRONE
Oh, nice. Happy Anniversary, guys!

WENDY
Let me make it up to all of you.
Brunch. My treat.

An ambulance SIREN whirls in the background.
