(Kevin Meets Sean)

Sean: Oooohh Shhhh,!!! Hey What took you the whole afternoon?!
Kevin: Sleepin’ I was in know rush.
Sean: Screw you! I haven’t got all day, what’s on the agenda?
Kevin: I’m actually kind of hungry.
Sean: oohh really I could eat.
Kevin: I know you could.
Sean: AAAHHH MY NAME IS KEVIN HAHAHAHAAA
Kevin: hahaha let’s get something to go..
-----CUT------
They come out of sandwich shop with food.

Kevin: Where are we gonna eat.
Sean: I have a blanket in my car
Kevin: You would you old women
-----------CUT---------
Sean: How did I let you talk me into this?
---------CUT (Back) --------
Kevin: You would you old women.
Sean: (smaller) AHHHHAHA come on we could sit in the park.
Kevin: (Sigh) okay.
----------CUT--------
Sean: It was like 5min ago.
Kevin: Whatever, I do what I want.
Sean: haha ass hole.
Kevin: haha … so how’s the wife?
Sean: Don’t call her that.
Kevin: Not so hot huh?
Sean: Look who’s talkin’!!!
Kevin: Whatever man I do what I want.
Sean: Yeah I know and look how your last relationship ended. Have you dated since..
Kevin: She slapped me!!!
Sean: So what it happens..
Kevin: Are you serious. No that’s where I draw the line, don’t slap me!! It’s not cool.
Sean: Did you ever consider that she didn’t mean it?
Kevin: Then why did she do it, Sean ?!
Sean: Kevin you aren’t the easiest person to get along with all the time. I mean you and I are best friends and we’re disagreeing right now.
Kevin: (Sigh) Whatever.
Sean: Listen there are a few things girls want out of a relationship.
1) They want to know what they’re getting themselves into. Where we men like spontaneous women who can continually surprise us they need assurance. Sure they are humans and like surprises just like the next person but they really are the more logical sex so it is what it is…
2) The other-
Kevin: -Since you know so much about women, why are you and your women having troubles?
Sean: No one’s perfect, no matter how seamless things appear, be aware the seems are there.
Kevin: …Yeah.
Sean: Come on, I have to meet “the wife” downtown soon anyway. Where do you want me to drop you off?
Kevin: Um I’ll come and roam town aimlessly.
Sean: All right, man.

#5 Recuperation
(Kevin Meets Jason)

Music- Broken Social Scene, Tuck and Patti, & Feist
--Walks and revisits all the places he had been that day
-- Ends up at the park where he ate with Sean and sits

Jason: (Plays guitar)” … Hey kid
Kevin: (Waves)
Jason: (Continues playing; notices Kevin is obviously upset) Hey kid you want to talk about it… Here I’ll make it easier for you my name’s Jason. (Holds out his hand)
(Kevin doesn’t shake it).
Jason: … (Pulls his hand back)… I was in love too once… I saw her for the first time a couple years ago. It seems like a lot longer then that. She was sitting at the table three tables ahead of mine. She was reading a book I think, I was reading the paper and we both had bagels I had a ______ bagel, she had a ______.... (Books down; food bite; drink; books up; leg peek and catch eyes; smile; go back to reading)… It was like we were the same person… I’ve heard opposites attract but with us it wasn’t about filling any holes, but more along the lines of adding icing to the cake. (Small laugh) I never thought about it but now thinking back I never said anything to her until like the third time we met… She was a person ahead of me in line for her bagel and she was short a quarter…
--Montage Jason and Girl getting to know each other; (Under blanket on butterfly chair cuddled together)
… She made this blanket for me.. It’s all I have left reminding me of… us… We were together for a long time, then one day… she was gone… I don’t know what happened. Maybe I met her too soon, maybe I had to do something before we were to meet… I don’t know It’s like I never knew her.. Funny how life seems to be a big contradiction that way.
Kevin: Kevin… My name’s Kevin.
Jason: Nice to meet you Kevin (They Shake hands)
Kevin: I’m Sorry
Jason: For?
Kevin: What happened..
Jason: Don’t! It is, what it is, tomorrow is another day. Besides the way I figure it is, life is what you make it so why angry or sad.
Kevin: Then why do you still have the blanket?
Jason: It was a gift.
Kevin: You said it reminded you of the two of you… together. How could you get over her with that??
Jason:… I don’t know.
Kevin: ..Sorry.
Jason: It’s okay
Kevin: Thank you
Jason: For ?
Kevin: You said exactly what I needed to hear.
Jason: Which was?
Kevin: Life is what you make it so why angry or sad. That doesn’t mean it will be easy or that I’m over her but at least now I know where to start… Have a nice night….
