COLD OPENING
INT. NORTHRIDGE STUDENT UNION - DAY (D.1)
(JIM ENTERS AND GOES UP TO TIFFANY)
JIM
Tiffany.
TIFFANY
Jim.

(RYAN FOLLOWS HIM AROUND LOOKING AT HIS BUTT)
RYAN
You're okay, but it ain't
this. Every day I scoot
my butt across the carpet
for fifteen minutes. I
learned it from the dog.
JIM
(PETS HIS HEAD)
Good boy.
RYAN
Watch it, buddy.
That's how the mailman
lost his hand.
JIM
Tiffany, I'm glad I caught
you, when you gave me your
number you took my pen.
TIFFANY
(WITH GIRLISH GLEE)
Oh, did I?
|
(SHE RETURNS THE PEN. THEY LAUGH)
JIM
I'm glad you liked the
speech. I never thought
public speaking was my
("FORT")
forte.
|
(TIFFANY SMILES, GIGGLING)
JIM
What?
TIFFANY
Oh, nothing, it's just
that it's not "forte,"
it's pronounced
("FORTAY")
"forte."
JIM
(GENIALLY)
Actually, that's a
common misconception.
"Fortay" is a musical
term meaning "loud"
from the Italian.
"Fort" is derived from
the French. Really:
you can look it up.
I'll see you at eight.
Bye.
