BOY MEETS GIRL DIALOGUE LIST Prepared For: Eric Schaeffer Bramacharia LLC 2475 Palisade Ave. #3C Bronx, NY 10463 The Script Specialists 15303 Ventura Blvd. Suite 900 Sherman Oaks, CA 91403 (818) 380-3090 April 29, 2014 BOY MEETS GIRL 1:00:20 MAIN TITLE BOY MEETS GIRL 1:00:29 TITLE SEVEN YEARS AGO 1:01:00 TITLE NOW 1:01:02 ROBBY Come on, Ricky! Let’s go swimmin’ before it gets too chilly. 1:01:05 RICKY Some of us have to work for a livin’. 1:01:06 ROBBY And normal people get Sundays off. 1:01:08 RICKY Well, some of us normal people have to work seven days a week to save money. And besides, you need to start workin’ a little harder to keep me interested in hangin’ out with you. Watchin’ you troll for girls, while barely tolerable in high school, has officially lost its last little bit of luster. 1:01:21 ROBBY Hey, hey! I just invited you to go swimmin’. 1:01:23 RICKY Yeah, euphemistic for watchin’ you text at the swimmin’ hole, as opposed to the coffee shop. And, besides, it’s pointless. You’ve dated every girl in the state of Kentucky. 1:01:34 ROBBY I mighta missed one. And, please, yo-you spend as much time trolling for dudes as I do trolling for girls. 1:01:40 RICKY (scoffs) Yeah, but, unlike you, I’m not just lookin’ for sex. I wanna find love, get married. I haven’t even found one good guy who doesn’t wanna just get in my pants. Maybe I should date girls. How bad could it be? 1:01:55 ROBBY I’m a fan. Check one out and see how you like it. 1:01:59 RICKY At least she’d be sweet. And considerate. And emotional. Not just a dog, like all y’all. 1:02:06 ROBBY Hey, I am very fond of every one I go out with, regardless of how long the relationships last. Now, you know, sometimes likin’ someone isn’t enough and you gotta break up. Kinda quickly. But it doesn’t make me a bad The Script Specialists Page 1 4/29/2014 BOY MEETS GIRL guy. 1:02:22 RICKY No, just a guy. 1:02:29 RICKY (to Francesca) Hey, how’s it goin’? What can I get ya? 1:02:33 FRANCESCA You have the prettiest hair. (chuckles) 1:02:34 RICKY Oh, well, thank you. 1:02:36 FRANCESCA I always wanted to try those straight-across bangs like that. 1:02:38 RICKY Yeah, and you know I’ve always wanted to try wearin’ a big ole sparkly engagement ring like that. 1:02:44 FRANCESCA (chuckling) Yeah, well, you know the grass is always greener, I guess. (chuckles) 1:02:50 RICKY So…? 1:02:51 FRANCESCA (gasps) Oh! Right. May I please have a double latte caramel frappuccino, please. 1:02:56 RICKY Sweetheart, Starbucks is on Montague Street. We sell coffee here. 1:03:02 FRANCESCA Oh, right. Um, well, may I have… 1:03:06 RICKY Tread lightly now. 1:03:08 FRANCESCA (chuckles) Um, a ca- cappa… 1:03:13 RICKY Cap…? 1:03:16 FRANCESCA Chino? 1:03:18 RICKY Yes, you may. 1:03:23 FRANCESCA So, you’ve never been married or engaged, even? 1:03:27 RICKY Mm-mm. No. 1:03:29 FRANCESCA I’m sure you have plenty of suitors. The Script Specialists Page 2 4/29/2014 BOY MEETS GIRL 1:03:30 RICKY I mean, I do, but most of ‘em I’m not really attracted to and the ones I have been always seem to get cold feet. 1:03:35 FRANCESCA (sighs) Oh, God, men. The very thing they want most is the very thing they’re most afraid of. 1:03:41 RICKY Ain’t that the truth. 1:03:42 FRANCESCA Commitment. 1:03:43 RICKY Dick. Oh, well, I mean that, too, but it’s a distant second. 1:03:54 FRANCESCA Uh, I’m sorry. Did you say what I think you just said? 1:03:57 RICKY Mmm, that commitment’s a distant second? 1:04:00 FRANCESCA No. Before that. 1:04:02 RICKY That men want dick but are afraid of it. 1:04:06 FRANCESCA Okay. (laughing) Apparently you did. 1:04:09 RICKY Two-fifty, please. Thank you. 1:04:15 FRANCESCA Do you- do you have a lot of guy friends confide this in you? I-I mean how do you know that they’re telling you the truth and not just messin’ with you? 1:04:22 RICKY ‘Cause if I weren’t, I’d have a big ole gorgeous ring on my finger by now. 1:04:27 FRANCESCA I don’t follow.

You know those kinda girls. 1:05:13 ROBBY Wait a minute, wait a minute, let me get this straight now. You are gonna judge her because of the kinda family she may or may not come from? 1:05:20 RICKY Does come from. Rich, Republican, debutant. 1:05:22 ROBBY (overlapping) Oh, you are unbe- You-you-you want peop- no, you demand people judge you by the content of your character and nothin’ else, yet you’re gonna dismiss her? Because of what, what kinda family she comes from? 1:05:33 RICKY It’s different. 1:05:34 ROBBY Not at all! She was sweet and respectful and friendly and liked you. 1:05:39 RICKY And anyway, that girl – 1:05:40 ROBBY I mean what more could you want from your first girlfriend experience? 1:05:42 RICKY She’s not a lesbian. 1:05:43 ROBBY How do you know? 1:05:44 RICKY And even if she were, she would not go for a girl like me. 1:05:47 ROBBY Why not? 1:05:49 RICKY You know. 1:05:51 ROBBY No, I really don’t, why?
