ROYCE JAMES I told you about calling me Jimmy, I swear I will make both of us crash 11. ROYCE Jeez man relax..I was just busting your chops JAMES (Bleep) you ROYCE Woah, hey, there are children here.

We’re a little tired from the drive. We were just turning up to Tyler, The Creator in the car. MATT Damn, I was just making some music before y'all came. We’re pulling up to Times Square, right? ROYCE Yeah, I guess. JAMES I’m lowkey trying to eat first. I’m hungry as hell. I’ve barely ate today. ROYCE (Cough) Fatty (cough) Oh JAMES 12. MATT Okay, a lot of the time Royce is smart but here are moments like this where he’s just a complete idiot. ROYCE Okay, I wasn’t counting myself. Just relax. JAMES Why the hell would you not be counting yourself? Just proving my theory that you could possibly be on acid... (Matt gives a concerned look) JAMES (CONT'D) You don’t need to make that face. We know you’re on acid or some other type of substances. MATT What? Huh? No I’m not... JAMES Okay, buddy. ROYCE Can you guys shut the hell up... table for 3. HOST Alright, it’s gonna be about a 40- minute wait. ROYCE 40 minutes? Jesus, alright... JAMES 40 minutes? Damn. ROYCE Is it alright if we leave and come back when our time is up? HOST Yeah, you can sign up for this app real quick that’ll notify you when your table is ready while you’re out. 13. ROYCE Alright, thanks. MATT Did you sign up? ROYCE What do you think I’m doing right now? MATT Jesus man, chill. I was asking a question, my god. ROYCE I’m messing with you. JAMES Alright, y’all wanna go out and walk a little? MATT Alright, yeah. Walks outside into the New York scenery. (NY State of Mind by Nas plays) ROYCE Oh look, here’s a thrift shop. MATT Ain’t no way we went to Times Square, one of the most expensive places in the world, just to go to a damn thrift shop. ROYCE They probably have cheap stuff. We gotta save up for college so we can’t spend that much. INT. THRIFT SHOP - NIGHT ROYCE Yo, some of these clothes are kinda fire, not gonna lie. JAMES Bro, what the hell are these-wait hold on, this shirt is nice as hell. 14. (Big Poppa by the Notorious B.I.G plays) Walks out of the store with a bunch of clothes. Royce is wearing black sunglasses and a chain, James is wearing a backwards cap and a tanktop, and Matt is wearing a biker jacket. JAMES (CONT'D) We are so dumb... didn’t we just say we were saving up for college? Two hundred and fifty dollars? ROYCE Yeah, I know and we still gotta pay for the dinner. MATT Damn, we’re about to be broke when we move out. You already bought a lot of the furniture, right? ROYCE Yeah, and I got a job at Walmart but someone hasn’t applied to a job yet. MATT I haven’t applied either. ROYCE My god... oh, look at this, it’s a Coca Cola store. Let's go in. INT. COCA COLA STORE - NIGHT JAMES They have different Cokes you can try. ROYCE We should try some of them... hey, how much is it to get a sample of each Coke? SERVER 20 dollars. (Pulls out 20 dollar bill) ROYCE Alright, here you go. 15. SERVER Alright, your tray will be at your table in 5 minutes. JAMES Alright, thanks. (Cuts to 5 minutes later) SERVER Here’s your tray. Thank you. ROYCE MATT Alright, let’s try some of these. Why is this one orange and why is this one red? ROYCE I don’t know Matt, you tell me. MATT Why would I be telling you? I just asked you. ROYCE Just hand me the damn drink. (Sips drink and immediately spits it out) ROYCE (CONT'D) Eughhhhh, that is... woo my god, that is definitely a drink. That is definitely one of the drinks of all time. Is it bad? JAMES ROYCE Is it bad? Oh, it’s definitely something, that’s for sure. JAMES Just tell me if it’s bad. ROYCE Just try it for yourself. JAMES Why are you—(grunts) alright. 16. (Spits out drink) JAMES (CONT'D) What the—what the hell is that? It tastes like my mom’s tam—you know what, nevermind. ROYCE Your mom’s what? MATT I don’t think you wanna know what he said. ROYCE Alright, whatever... (3 seconds of silence) MATT This is horrible though. You just wanna head out and eat? JAMES Yeah, this tastes like horse feces. ROYCE Explain to me how you would know what that tastes like... JAMES I’ve tasted a lot of things... ROYCE Ummm...(silence) okay then... let’s go eat, our table is ready. (Walks back to Bubba Gump) INT. BUBBA GUMP SHRIMP - NIGHT ROYCE Alright, we’re back. HOST Okay, your table is ready. Let me walk you guys there real quick. (Walks to the table) HOST (CONT'D) Alright, here’s your table. Your waiter will be up soon. 17. ROYCE Alright, thanks. (Opens menu) ROYCE (CONT'D) What are y’all looking at getting right now? MATT Probably a burger or something. JAMES I don’t know what I’m getting yet. I mean, the place is called Bubba Gump Shrimp, so their shrimp must be one of the best things on the menu. ROYCE Pretty true. I don’t know, I’m probably just gonna get chicken tenders and onion rings. I’m not trying to spend that much money. JAMES Number one, why are you being cheap? We’re in New York City of all places, and number two, chicken tenders? What are you, 7 years old? Grow up, get a steak or something. ROYCE Hey, shut up. Also, what the hell is wrong with chicken tenders? JAMES Alright, fine. Order your chicken fingers or whatever, I guess. WAITER Alright, what do you guys want to order? MATT Alright, I’ll have the bacon burger with fries. ROYCE Yeah, I’ll have the chicken tenders with onion rings. 18. JAMES And I’ll have the shrimp with a side of the rice. WAITER Alright, cool. Is that all? Any drinks? ROYCE Yeah, I’ll get a root beer. What about y’all? JAMES I’ll get a lemonade. MATT Yeah, me too. (Waiter walks away) ROYCE Yoo, that waiter was kinda bad. JAMES Can you not hit on a girl on a trip for once? Is that a problem? ROYCE What else am I supposed to do? JAMES I don’t know, just live life. ROYCE You’re right. MATT Where are y’all trying to go after we eat? ROYCE We can go to a nightclub maybe. JAMES Bro, a nightclub? Why do we have to go to a club? Can’t we just walk around or, I don’t know, go somewhere else? ROYCE Oh my god, man, stop being so lame. We might as well. We’re all over 18 at this point and what else is there to do here... 19. JAMES I’m pretty sure there’s a lot of other things to do in New York City, but you know what, fine. I’ll go... only for like an hour or two though. ROYCE Alright, we’ll see. MATT What? What are we doing? ROYCE Did you not listen to our conversation at all? MATT Oh, I’m sorry because it kinda seemed like you guys were just talking. ROYCE Do you want to go to the club with us? Yes or no? MATT Yeah, sure. I’ll go... not for that long though, maybe until around 10- 11, but yeah, sure. ROYCE 11? Bruh, are you guys that tired? MATT Yeah, a little. I woke up early today but I’m not too tired. I can stay up. (Waiter returns with food) WAITER Alright, here’s your food. (Puts food on the table) ROYCE Oh, thanks. WAITER You’re welcome. Is there anything else I can grab you? 20. JAMES Nah, I think that’s it. You guys? ROYCE and MATT Nope. WAITER Alright, enjoy. JAMES Don’t y’all think that came out a little too fast? MATT It was like 10 minutes but yeah, I guess. I mean, there’s not a lot of people here though, so that’s probably why. (eats chicken) ROYCE This needs more salt. (Grabs salt) JAMES I can be the judge of that... (eats chicken) Royce, are you serious? This has enough salt. Put the damn salt down. (grabs salt out of his hand) (Cuts to all three finishing their food) MATT That was actually pretty good. JAMES Yeah, it was pretty alright. WAITER How was the food? ROYCE Pretty good. WAITER Do you need a takeout box? ROYCE Yeah, that would be great, thanks. 21. MATT Bro, it’s like one and a half pieces of chicken tenders. You can’t just eat the rest? JAMES He always gets takeout boxes for literally everything... I have no idea why. ROYCE So I still have stuff to eat for the next day at home. That’s why. MATT Alright, you paid for it? ROYCE What the hell do you think I’m doing right now? JAMES I don’t know man, it looks like you’re just staring at the paper. Maybe try actually signing the check. Oh wow. ROYCE JAMES What are you oh wowing about? ROYCE Hey guys, y’all have any money? JAMES No, why? I thought you said you were paying for the dinner. ROYCE Yeah, I was but I didn’t know it was gonna be this much. JAMES Oh my god... ROYCE Okay, first of all, I’m paying for the hotel. JAMES Yeah, which we also paid for. 22. ROYCE And also, why is it all on me? Why can’t y’all pay for your own meal? JAMES Because we’re broke. MATT (laughs) Speak for yourself. I have money. I got you, Royce. (Puts down a $100 dollar bill) JAMES How much money do you have in your pocket? MATT A lot. That’s all you need to know. Anyways, y’all guys ready? ROYCE Yeah, I’m ready. JAMES Yeah, me too. (Walks out of the restaurant) EXT. TIMES SQUARE - NIGHT MATT Okay, what club are we going to? ROYCE I forget the name of it... it’s some dance club though. MATT Isn't like the main thing to do at a nightclub is drink? And we can’t even do that. ROYCE I mean, there’s also music and dancing which we all love. And we can get non-alcoholic drinks so we’re chilling. JAMES I don’t know man... 23. ROYCE Come on, I'm pretty sure we’ll have some fun. (In Da Club by 50 Cent plays) (All three get out of the car) EXT. THE FUNCTION - NIGHT ROYCE Alright, here we are... y’all ready? JAMES Yeah, I guess. (Opens door) (A lot of people dancing and moving around) MATT Jesus, there are way too many people here for my liking. JAMES Yeah, why the hell is it so loud? And I thought I was immune to noise... ROYCE Let's just go find a place to sit. (Sits down) SECURITY GUARD Sorry, this is the VIP seating. ROYCE Yeah, that’s why we’re sitting here and you’re a security guard working at a nightclub making barely above minimum wage... SECURITY GUARD You’re right. I don’t get paid enough to deal with fools like you. Do whatever. JAMES I’m a little thirsty though... let’s go over to the bar area. I wanna see what drinks they have. 24. (Walks over to the bar area) JAMES (CONT'D) Hmm, this seems pretty good... blueberry blast. ROYCE Yeah, I wanna try that also. MATT Alright, I guess I’ll try it too... what is it? JAMES I think it’s like a blueberry lemonade or something. I don’t know. MATT How are blueberries and lemonade in the same sentence? JAMES I don’t know... I guess we’ll find out. (All three sip their drinks) ROYCE Damnnnn, this is hitting. MATT Nah, this slaps. JAMES Yeah, this is fire. (Royce aggressively sips the drink) JAMES (CONT'D) Damn, chill my man... are you just looking to get a brain freeze? ROYCE This is not that cold to get a brain freeze from. JAMES Yeah, you’re right. (One More Time by Daft Punk plays) 25. ROYCE Ayy, let’s go. Time to get on the dance floor. JAMES Yeah, I guess whatever (muffles) even though I don’t dance really. MATT I’ll stay over here. I don’t wanna dance really. ROYCE Come on man, you can try and pull some girls over there. MATT Nah, I’m good. I’d rather stay in the shadows and pull some girls over here if I’m being honest. ROYCE Alright, whatever... (Walks over to the dance floor) ROYCE AND JAMES (CONT'D) ONE MORE TIME!!! (Jumping up and down to the song) Katy, a blond haired girl walks up to James KATY Hey, what's your name? JAMES Hey... uh, it’s James. KATY Ah cool, my name is Katy. Is this your first time here or like in a club at all? JAMES Yeah, how did you know that? It’s my first time in New York City in general and it’s my first time in a club. KATY Yeah, I kinda figured due to how confused you looked. That’s why I came over here. What do you do? 26. JAMES I’m sorry, what? The music is way too loud. KATY LIKE WHAT DO YOU DO FOR A LIVING? JAMES Oh, I just graduated high school but I’m moving to Orlando to go to college next month. KATY You just graduated high school? Nevermind, I’ll see ya. JAMES No, don’t leave... damn it. ROYCE (In a sarcastic tone) So how did it go? JAMES Bruh, I said I just graduated high school and she just walked away. ROYCE Yeah, sucks to suck. I haven’t even approached a girl yet at all. Should I try? JAMES Yeah, try that one chick over there. ROYCE What? No? She’s like obese... JAMES First of all, why you fat shaming, and second, what’s wrong with obese girls? ROYCE No, I’m not talking to her... that one looks pretty nice though... alright, we’ll see... Royce walks up to a girl named Maria who's a black haired Indian girl that's around the same age as him ROYCE (CONT'D) Hey, what's your name? 27. MARIA Who are you? ROYCE Oh yeah, my name is Royce. MARIA Please leave... ROYCE I can’t get your number? No IG either? Damn. MARIA Please stop talking to me... ROYCE Okay, alright, I’ll leave you alone. MARIA Please do. JAMES So how did it go? ROYCE Yeah, I suck. JAMES Yeah, we know. Let’s just go home... (Light Flex by Tone Sith and 2 Chainz plays) ROYCE Hold on... one more song. (Takes off hoodie) (Everybody moves out of the way to put Royce in the middle) (Starts dancing) JAMES Bro, what the hell are you doing man? (Does a flip) (Cheering) 28. ROYCE Yoo, come on man. I gotta jump over you. JAMES What the hell... no, stop. (Ducks head) (Royce jumps over James) (Does a half split) ROYCE Woo, that was a workout. (Cuts to Matt sitting) MATT Ah, nothing like Royce acting like he’s the main character in public. I’m gonna get another one of these. (Gets out of seat) ROYCE Jesus man, chill out. I just jumped over you. It wasn’t going to hurt. JAMES Yeah, that doesn’t disregard the fact that it was still terrifying. Tiara, a 22 year old brown haired white girl walks up to Royce in awe. TIARA Hey, that was pretty cool. What’s your name? ROYCE Royce. How about yours? TIARA Tiara. Are those your friends? ROYCE Yeah, one’s at the lounge area and then one’s right over there. TIARA Oh, what do you do for fun? 29. ROYCE Ah, you know, I just write, listen to music, watch TV sometimes. I also did martial arts for a while... TIARA Damn, you do a lot. You seem pretty cool though. Can I get your number? ROYCE Yeah, sure. (Pulls out phone) TIARA Alright, what is it? 732- ROYCE A random guy who's tall and muscular named Josh walks up to Royce in anger. HEY! JOSH ROYCE Who’s that? Is he talking to me? TIARA I think he is... JOSH What do you think you’re doing talking to my girlfriend? ROYCE Okay, first of all, she came up to me, so pipe down, alright? And also, who the hell are you? JOSH I’m her boyfriend. ROYCE What? You didn’t tell me you had a boyfriend? JOSH I just said that she was my girlfriend. You need a hearing aid, buddy? 30. TIARA We only met each other like 10 minutes ago. Also, I didn’t think it would matter. JOSH Back off now or... Or what? JAMES JOSH Oh, you guys have a group, huh? BOYS! 3 of Josh's friends who are muscular and tall begin to walk over to Royce and James MATT Ah, what the hell is going on over there? (sipping drink) (Gets up and walks over) MATT (CONT'D) Alright, what’s going on? We can figure this out. JOSH This bozo tried talking to my girl. MATT Royce, come on man. You didn’t try talking to a single girl? ROYCE I didn’t know she wasn’t single. MATT Okay, whatever... just leave us alone, alright? We don’t want any beef. ROYCE Ayy, okay, I’m not striking first so if this guy wants to square up then I don’t see a problem with it. This guy’s an idiot. JOSH What’d you call me? 31. ROYCE Oh, I’m sorry. Didn’t know you needed your hearing aid. I said you’re AN IDIOT. (Josh pushes Royce) (Royce falls down) JAMES Aw, bring it on man. MATT Okay, so we’re just doing this... alright then. (James punches one of Josh’s friends) (Royce gets up and tackles Josh) TIARA Guys stop... stop, ah whatever. I’m leaving. Y’all can get beat up together. I’m not watching this. (Royce kicks Josh in the head) (Josh picks Royce up and body slams him) (James hook punches Josh’s friend and elbows him in the face) (Josh tries to grab for a tackle but Royce hook kicks him in the face) Yeahhh! JAMES (Royce punches James in the face) JAMES (CONT'D) Ow man, what the hell was that for? ROYCE Oh, I thought you were another guy... Idiot. JAMES (Josh’s friend runs away) JAMES (CONT'D) The hell is he running for? 32. ROYCE Wait, hold on a second... I think I lost something. I lost the keys to the car. JAMES Oh my god... ROYCE Run... RUN NOW, COME ON! MATT What happened? ROYCE He has the keys to the car. MATT Oh no, that’s bad... ROYCE Yeah, I know it’s bad, Matthew, that’s why we’re running after him... ROYCE (CONT'D) Hey, give our keys back... HEY! (Josh drives off) ROYCE (CONT'D) Guys, come on, run! (All 3 running) JAMES We’re not gonna be able to catch up to him. ROYCE Yeah, you’re right. Let’s call the police. (Calls 911 on his phone) ROYCE (CONT'D) Hello, yeah, someone stole my car. 911 CALLER Okay, we’ll be right there... just stay calm. (Police sirens) 33.

Students are talking loudly as Mr. Gavin tries to get everyone's attention.  MR. GAVIN (CONT'D)  Hey guys, ENOUGH! Today we’re  celebrating the graduation of 120  students. It’s the end of an era  for these students but a new  beginning.  MR. GAVIN (CONT'D)  Today, they will walk out of this  school and enter their new lives,  whether it’s some of them going off  to college or getting jobs, they  will enter the real world.  CUT TO:  After Mr. Gavin already has announced a few of the students, he then gets ready to announce James.  MR. GAVIN (CONT'D)  James McCloskey.  Audience starts cheering while Royce stands up clapping his hands. ROYCE  WOOO YEAH, LET'S GOOO!  JAMES  Thank you, Mr. Gavin.  James receives his diploma and walks back over to his seat.

ROYCE  Oh wait, no. Nevermind, that was  one of my stories I created a while  ago.  JAMES  You know what, Royce? Maybe you are on acid  (Phone rings)  ROYCE  Oh wait, Matt’s calling me.  Hi.  10.

(Plays "Empire State of Mind" by Jay-Z) Shows them driving in New York City.  JAMES  Damn, this looks crazy.  ROYCE  What do you mean? I thought- oh  nevermind, I forgot you haven’t  been here before.  JAMES  Can you just not ask stupid  questions today? Like it’s called  thinking before you speak...   .  ROYCE  Okay, Jimmy.  JAMES  (crumbles paper)  (Throws paper at Royce’s  face)   Ow.  ROYCE JAMES   I told you about calling me Jimmy, I swear I will make both of us crash  11.

JAMES  Oh, shut the hell up man. Royce  (Laughing)  EXT. MATT’S DRIVEWAY - EVENING  MATT  Yooo, what’s good guys.  ROYCE  We’re good. We’re a little tired  from the drive. We were just turning up  to Tyler, The Creator in the car.  MATT  Damn, I was just making some music  before y'all came. We’re pulling up  to Times Square, right?  ROYCE  Yeah, I guess.  JAMES  I’m lowkey trying to eat first. I’m  hungry as hell. I’ve barely ate  today.  ROYCE  (Cough) Fatty (cough)   Oh JAMES   12.  MATT  Okay, a lot of the time Royce is  smart but here are moments like  this where he’s just a complete  idiot.  ROYCE  Okay, I wasn’t counting myself.  Just relax.  JAMES  Why the hell would you not be  counting yourself? Just proving my  theory that you could possibly be  on acid...  (Matt gives a concerned look)  JAMES (CONT'D)  You don’t need to make that face.  We know you’re on acid or some  other type of substances.  MATT  What? Huh? No I’m not...  JAMES  Okay, buddy.  ROYCE  Can you guys shut the hell up...  table for 3.  HOST  Alright, it’s gonna be about a 40-  minute wait.  ROYCE  40 minutes? Jesus, alright...  JAMES  40 minutes? Damn.  ROYCE  Is it alright if we leave and come  back when our time is up?  HOST  Yeah, you can sign up for this app  real quick that’ll notify you when  your table is ready while you’re  out. 13.  ROYCE  Alright, thanks.  MATT  Did you sign up?  ROYCE  What do you think I’m doing right  now?  MATT  Jesus man, chill. I was asking a  question, my god.  ROYCE  I’m messing with you.  JAMES  Alright, y’all wanna go out and  walk a little?  MATT  Alright, yeah.  Walks outside into the New York scenery.  (NY State of Mind by Nas plays)  ROYCE  Oh look, here’s a thrift shop.  MATT  Ain’t no way we went to Times  Square, one of the most expensive  places in the world, just to go to  a damn thrift shop.  ROYCE  They probably have cheap stuff. We  gotta save up for college so we  can’t spend that much.  INT. THRIFT SHOP - NIGHT  ROYCE  Yo, some of these clothes are kinda  fire, not gonna lie.  JAMES  Bro, what the hell are these-wait  hold on, this shirt is nice as  hell. 14.  (Big Poppa by the Notorious B.I.G plays)  Walks out of the store with a bunch of clothes.  Royce is wearing black sunglasses and a chain, James is wearing a backwards cap and a tanktop, and Matt is wearing a biker jacket.  JAMES (CONT'D)  We are so dumb... didn’t we just  say we were saving up for college?  Two hundred and fifty dollars?  ROYCE  Yeah, I know and we still gotta pay  for the dinner.  MATT  Damn, we’re about to be broke when  we move out. You already bought a  lot of the furniture, right?  ROYCE  Yeah, and I got a job at Walmart  but someone hasn’t applied to a job  yet.  MATT  I haven’t applied either.  ROYCE  My god... oh, look at this, it’s a  Coca Cola store. Let's go in.  INT. COCA COLA STORE - NIGHT  JAMES  They have different Cokes you can  try.  ROYCE  We should try some of them... hey,  how much is it to get a sample of  each Coke?  SERVER  20 dollars.  (Pulls out 20 dollar bill)  ROYCE  Alright, here you go. 15.  SERVER  Alright, your tray will be at your  table in 5 minutes.  JAMES  Alright, thanks.  (Cuts to 5 minutes later)  SERVER  Here’s your tray.   Thank you.  ROYCE   MATT  Alright, let’s try some of these.  Why is this one orange and why is  this one red?  ROYCE  I don’t know Matt, you tell me.  MATT  Why would I be telling you? I just asked you.  ROYCE  Just hand me the damn drink.  (Sips drink and immediately spits it out)  ROYCE (CONT'D)  Eughhhhh, that is... woo my god,  that is definitely a drink. That is definitely one of the drinks of all time.   Is it bad?  JAMES ROYCE   Is it bad? Oh, it’s definitely something, that’s for sure.  JAMES  Just tell me if it’s bad.  ROYCE  Just try it for yourself.  JAMES  Why are you—(grunts) alright. 16.  (Spits out drink)  JAMES (CONT'D)  What the—what the hell is that? It  tastes like my mom’s tam—you know  what, nevermind.  ROYCE  Your mom’s what?  MATT  I don’t think you wanna know what  he said.  ROYCE  Alright, whatever...  (3 seconds of silence)  MATT  This is horrible though. You just  wanna head out and eat?  JAMES  Yeah, this tastes like horse feces.  ROYCE  Explain to me how you would know  what that tastes like...  JAMES  I’ve tasted a lot of things...  ROYCE  Ummm...(silence) okay then... let’s  go eat, our table is ready.  (Walks back to Bubba Gump)  INT. BUBBA GUMP SHRIMP - NIGHT  ROYCE  Alright, we’re back.  HOST  Okay, your table is ready. Let me  walk you guys there real quick.  (Walks to the table)  HOST (CONT'D)  Alright, here’s your table. Your  waiter will be up soon. 17.  ROYCE  Alright, thanks.  (Opens menu)  ROYCE (CONT'D)  What are y’all looking at getting  right now?  MATT  Probably a burger or something.  JAMES  I don’t know what I’m getting yet.  I mean, the place is called Bubba  Gump Shrimp, so their shrimp must  be one of the best things on the  menu.  ROYCE  Pretty true. I don’t know, I’m  probably just gonna get chicken  tenders and onion rings. I’m not  trying to spend that much money.  JAMES  Number one, why are you being  cheap? We’re in New York City of  all places, and number two, chicken  tenders? What are you, 7 years old?  Grow up, get a steak or something.  ROYCE  Hey, shut up. Also, what the hell  is wrong with chicken tenders?  JAMES  Alright, fine. Order your chicken  fingers or whatever, I guess.  WAITER  Alright, what do you guys want to  order?  MATT  Alright, I’ll have the bacon burger  with fries.  ROYCE  Yeah, I’ll have the chicken tenders  with onion rings. 18.  JAMES  And I’ll have the shrimp with a  side of the rice.  WAITER  Alright, cool. Is that all? Any  drinks?  ROYCE  Yeah, I’ll get a root beer. What  about y’all?  JAMES  I’ll get a lemonade.  MATT  Yeah, me too.  (Waiter walks away)  ROYCE  Yoo, that waiter was kinda bad.  JAMES  Can you not hit on a girl on a trip  for once? Is that a problem?  ROYCE  What else am I supposed to do?  JAMES  I don’t know, just live life.  ROYCE  You’re right.  MATT  Where are y’all trying to go after  we eat?  ROYCE  We can go to a nightclub maybe.  JAMES  Bro, a nightclub? Why do we have to  go to a club? Can’t we just walk  around or, I don’t know, go  somewhere else?  ROYCE  Oh my god, man, stop being so lame.  We might as well. We’re all over 18  at this point and what else is  there to do here... 19.  JAMES  I’m pretty sure there’s a lot of  other things to do in New York  City, but you know what, fine. I’ll  go... only for like an hour or two  though.  ROYCE  Alright, we’ll see.  MATT  What? What are we doing?  ROYCE  Did you not listen to our  conversation at all?  MATT  Oh, I’m sorry because it kinda  seemed like you guys were just  talking.  ROYCE  Do you want to go to the club with  us? Yes or no?  MATT  Yeah, sure. I’ll go... not for that  long though, maybe until around 10-  11, but yeah, sure.  ROYCE  11? Bruh, are you guys that tired?  MATT  Yeah, a little. I woke up early  today but I’m not too tired. I can  stay up.  (Waiter returns with food)  WAITER  Alright, here’s your food.  (Puts food on the table)  ROYCE  Oh, thanks.  WAITER  You’re welcome. Is there anything  else I can grab you? 20.  JAMES  Nah, I think that’s it. You guys?  ROYCE and MATT  Nope.  WAITER  Alright, enjoy.  JAMES  Don’t y’all think that came out a  little too fast?  MATT  It was like 10 minutes but yeah, I  guess. I mean, there’s not a lot of  people here though, so that’s  probably why.  (eats chicken)  ROYCE  This needs more salt.  (Grabs salt)  JAMES  I can be the judge of that... (eats  chicken) Royce, are you serious?  This has enough salt. Put the damn  salt down.  (grabs salt out of his hand)  (Cuts to all three finishing their food)  MATT  That was actually pretty good.  JAMES  Yeah, it was pretty alright.  WAITER  How was the food?  ROYCE  Pretty good.  WAITER  Do you need a takeout box?  ROYCE  Yeah, that would be great, thanks. 21.  MATT  Bro, it’s like one and a half  pieces of chicken tenders. You  can’t just eat the rest?  JAMES  He always gets takeout boxes for  literally everything... I have no  idea why.  ROYCE  So I still have stuff to eat for  the next day at home. That’s why.  MATT  Alright, you paid for it?  ROYCE  What the hell do you think I’m  doing right now?  JAMES  I don’t know man, it looks like  you’re just staring at the paper.  Maybe try actually signing the  check.   Oh wow.  ROYCE JAMES   What are you oh wowing about?  ROYCE  Hey guys, y’all have any money?  JAMES  No, why? I thought you said you were paying for the dinner.  ROYCE  Yeah, I was but I didn’t know it was gonna be this much.  JAMES  Oh my god...  ROYCE  Okay, first of all, I’m paying for the hotel.  JAMES  Yeah, which we also paid for. 22.  ROYCE  And also, why is it all on me? Why  can’t y’all pay for your own meal?  JAMES  Because we’re broke.  MATT  (laughs) Speak for yourself. I have  money. I got you, Royce.  (Puts down a $100 dollar bill)  JAMES  How much money do you have in your  pocket?  MATT  A lot. That’s all you need to know.  Anyways, y’all guys ready?  ROYCE  Yeah, I’m ready.  JAMES  Yeah, me too.  (Walks out of the restaurant)  EXT. TIMES SQUARE - NIGHT  MATT  Okay, what club are we going to?  ROYCE  I forget the name of it... it’s  some dance club though.  MATT  Isn't like the main thing to do at  a nightclub is drink? And we can’t  even do that.  ROYCE  I mean, there’s also music and  dancing which we all love. And we  can get non-alcoholic drinks so  we’re chilling.  JAMES  I don’t know man... 23.  ROYCE  Come on, I'm pretty sure we’ll have  some fun.  (In Da Club by 50 Cent plays)  (All three get out of the car)  EXT. THE FUNCTION - NIGHT  ROYCE  Alright, here we are... y’all  ready?  JAMES  Yeah, I guess.  (Opens door)  (A lot of people dancing and moving around)  MATT  Jesus, there are way too many  people here for my liking.  JAMES  Yeah, why the hell is it so loud?  And I thought I was immune to  noise...  ROYCE  Let's just go find a place to sit.  (Sits down)  SECURITY GUARD  Sorry, this is the VIP seating.  ROYCE  Yeah, that’s why we’re sitting here  and you’re a security guard working  at a nightclub making barely above  minimum wage...  SECURITY GUARD  You’re right. I don’t get paid  enough to deal with fools like you.  Do whatever.  JAMES  I’m a little thirsty though...  let’s go over to the bar area. I  wanna see what drinks they have. 24.  (Walks over to the bar area)  JAMES (CONT'D)  Hmm, this seems pretty good...  blueberry blast.  ROYCE  Yeah, I wanna try that also.  MATT  Alright, I guess I’ll try it too...  what is it?  JAMES  I think it’s like a blueberry  lemonade or something. I don’t  know.  MATT  How are blueberries and lemonade in  the same sentence?  JAMES  I don’t know... I guess we’ll find  out.  (All three sip their drinks)  ROYCE  Damnnnn, this is hitting.  MATT  Nah, this slaps.  JAMES  Yeah, this is fire.  (Royce aggressively sips the drink)  JAMES (CONT'D)  Damn, chill my man... are you just  looking to get a brain freeze?  ROYCE  This is not that cold to get a  brain freeze from.  JAMES  Yeah, you’re right.  (One More Time by Daft Punk plays) 25.  ROYCE  Ayy, let’s go. Time to get on the  dance floor.  JAMES  Yeah, I guess whatever (muffles)  even though I don’t dance really.  MATT  I’ll stay over here. I don’t wanna  dance really.  ROYCE  Come on man, you can try and pull  some girls over there.  MATT  Nah, I’m good. I’d rather stay in  the shadows and pull some girls  over here if I’m being honest.  ROYCE  Alright, whatever...  (Walks over to the dance floor)  ROYCE AND JAMES (CONT'D)  ONE MORE TIME!!!  (Jumping up and down to the song)  Katy, a blond haired girl walks up to James  KATY  Hey, what's your name?  JAMES  Hey... uh, it’s James.  KATY  Ah cool, my name is Katy. Is this  your first time here or like in a  club at all?  JAMES  Yeah, how did you know that? It’s  my first time in New York City in  general and it’s my first time in a  club.  KATY  Yeah, I kinda figured due to how  confused you looked. That’s why I  came over here. What do you do? 26.  JAMES  I’m sorry, what? The music is way  too loud.  KATY  LIKE WHAT DO YOU DO FOR A LIVING?  JAMES  Oh, I just graduated high school  but I’m moving to Orlando to go to  college next month.  KATY  You just graduated high school?  Nevermind, I’ll see ya.  JAMES  No, don’t leave... damn it.  ROYCE  (In a sarcastic tone) So how did it  go?  JAMES  Bruh, I said I just graduated high  school and she just walked away.  ROYCE  Yeah, sucks to suck. I haven’t even  approached a girl yet at all.  Should I try?  JAMES  Yeah, try that one chick over  there.  ROYCE  What? No? She’s like obese...  JAMES  First of all, why you fat shaming,  and second, what’s wrong with obese  girls?  ROYCE  No, I’m not talking to her... that  one looks pretty nice though...  alright, we’ll see...  Royce walks up to a girl named Maria who's a black haired Indian girl that's around the same age as him  ROYCE (CONT'D)  Hey, what's your name? 27.  MARIA  Who are you?  ROYCE  Oh yeah, my name is Royce.  MARIA  Please leave...  ROYCE  I can’t get your number? No IG  either? Damn.  MARIA  Please stop talking to me...  ROYCE  Okay, alright, I’ll leave you  alone.  MARIA  Please do.  JAMES  So how did it go?  ROYCE  Yeah, I suck.  JAMES  Yeah, we know. Let’s just go  home...  (Light Flex by Tone Sith and 2 Chainz plays)  ROYCE  Hold on... one more song.  (Takes off hoodie)  (Everybody moves out of the way to put Royce in the middle) (Starts dancing)  JAMES  Bro, what the hell are you doing  man?  (Does a flip)  (Cheering) 28.  ROYCE  Yoo, come on man. I gotta jump over  you.  JAMES  What the hell... no, stop.  (Ducks head)  (Royce jumps over James)  (Does a half split)  ROYCE  Woo, that was a workout.  (Cuts to Matt sitting)  MATT  Ah, nothing like Royce acting like  he’s the main character in public.  I’m gonna get another one of these.  (Gets out of seat)  ROYCE  Jesus man, chill out. I just jumped  over you. It wasn’t going to hurt.  JAMES  Yeah, that doesn’t disregard the  fact that it was still terrifying.  Tiara, a 22 year old brown haired white girl walks up to Royce in awe.  TIARA  Hey, that was pretty cool. What’s  your name?  ROYCE  Royce. How about yours?  TIARA  Tiara. Are those your friends?  ROYCE  Yeah, one’s at the lounge area and  then one’s right over there.  TIARA  Oh, what do you do for fun? 29.  ROYCE  Ah, you know, I just write, listen  to music, watch TV sometimes. I  also did martial arts for a  while...  TIARA  Damn, you do a lot. You seem pretty  cool though. Can I get your number?  ROYCE  Yeah, sure.  (Pulls out phone)  TIARA  Alright, what is it?   732-  ROYCE   A random guy who's tall and muscular named Josh walks up to Royce in anger.   HEY!  JOSH ROYCE   Who’s that? Is he talking to me?  TIARA  I think he is...  JOSH  What do you think you’re doing talking to my girlfriend?  ROYCE  Okay, first of all, she came up to me, so pipe down, alright? And also, who the hell are you?  JOSH  I’m her boyfriend.  ROYCE  What? You didn’t tell me you had a boyfriend?  JOSH  I just said that she was my girlfriend. You need a hearing aid, buddy? 30.  TIARA  We only met each other like 10  minutes ago. Also, I didn’t think  it would matter.  JOSH  Back off now or...   Or what?  JAMES JOSH   Oh, you guys have a group, huh?  BOYS!  3 of Josh's friends who are muscular and tall begin to walk over to Royce and James  MATT  Ah, what the hell is going on over  there? (sipping drink)  (Gets up and walks over)  MATT (CONT'D)  Alright, what’s going on? We can  figure this out.  JOSH  This bozo tried talking to my girl.  MATT  Royce, come on man. You didn’t try  talking to a single girl?  ROYCE  I didn’t know she wasn’t single.  MATT  Okay, whatever... just leave us  alone, alright? We don’t want any  beef.  ROYCE  Ayy, okay, I’m not striking first  so if this guy wants to square up  then I don’t see a problem with it.  This guy’s an idiot.  JOSH  What’d you call me? 31.  ROYCE  Oh, I’m sorry. Didn’t know you  needed your hearing aid. I said  you’re AN IDIOT.  (Josh pushes Royce)  (Royce falls down)  JAMES  Aw, bring it on man.  MATT  Okay, so we’re just doing this...  alright then.  (James punches one of Josh’s friends)  (Royce gets up and tackles Josh)  TIARA  Guys stop... stop, ah whatever. I’m  leaving. Y’all can get beat up  together. I’m not watching this.  (Royce kicks Josh in the head)  (Josh picks Royce up and body slams him)  (James hook punches Josh’s friend and elbows him in the face)  (Josh tries to grab for a tackle but Royce hook kicks him in the face)   Yeahhh!  JAMES   (Royce punches James in the face)  JAMES (CONT'D)  Ow man, what the hell was that for?  ROYCE  Oh, I thought you were another  guy...   Idiot.  JAMES   (Josh’s friend runs away)  JAMES (CONT'D)  The hell is he running for? 32.  ROYCE  Wait, hold on a second... I think I  lost something. I lost the keys to  the car.  JAMES  Oh my god...  ROYCE  Run... RUN NOW, COME ON!  MATT  What happened?  ROYCE  He has the keys to the car.  MATT  Oh no, that’s bad...  ROYCE  Yeah, I know it’s bad, Matthew,  that’s why we’re running after  him...  ROYCE (CONT'D)  Hey, give our keys back... HEY!  (Josh drives off)  ROYCE (CONT'D)  Guys, come on, run!  (All 3 running)  JAMES  We’re not gonna be able to catch up  to him.  ROYCE  Yeah, you’re right. Let’s call the  police.  (Calls 911 on his phone)  ROYCE (CONT'D)  Hello, yeah, someone stole my car.  911 CALLER  Okay, we’ll be right there... just  stay calm.

We’re a little tired from the drive. We were just turning up to Tyler, The Creator in the car. MATT Damn, I was just making some music before y'all came. We’re pulling up to Times Square, right? ROYCE Yeah, I guess. JAMES I’m lowkey trying to eat first. I’m hungry as hell. I’ve barely ate today. ROYCE (Cough) Fatty (cough) Oh JAMES 12. MATT Okay, a lot of the time Royce is smart but here are moments like this where he’s just a complete idiot. ROYCE Okay, I wasn’t counting myself. Just relax. JAMES Why the hell would you not be counting yourself? Just proving my theory that you could possibly be on acid... (Matt gives a concerned look) JAMES (CONT'D) You don’t need to make that face. We know you’re on acid or some other type of substances. MATT What? Huh? No I’m not... JAMES Okay, buddy. ROYCE Can you guys shut the hell up... table for 3. HOST Alright, it’s gonna be about a 40- minute wait. ROYCE 40 minutes? Jesus, alright... JAMES 40 minutes? Damn. ROYCE Is it alright if we leave and come back when our time is up? HOST Yeah, you can sign up for this app real quick that’ll notify you when your table is ready while you’re out. 13. ROYCE Alright, thanks. MATT Did you sign up? ROYCE What do you think I’m doing right now? MATT Jesus man, chill. I was asking a question, my god. ROYCE I’m messing with you. JAMES Alright, y’all wanna go out and walk a little? MATT Alright, yeah. Walks outside into the New York scenery. (NY State of Mind by Nas plays) ROYCE Oh look, here’s a thrift shop. MATT Ain’t no way we went to Times Square, one of the most expensive places in the world, just to go to a damn thrift shop. ROYCE They probably have cheap stuff. We gotta save up for college so we can’t spend that much. INT. THRIFT SHOP - NIGHT ROYCE Yo, some of these clothes are kinda fire, not gonna lie. JAMES Bro, what the hell are these-wait hold on, this shirt is nice as hell. 14. (Big Poppa by the Notorious B.I.G plays) Walks out of the store with a bunch of clothes. Royce is wearing black sunglasses and a chain, James is wearing a backwards cap and a tanktop, and Matt is wearing a biker jacket. JAMES (CONT'D) We are so dumb... didn’t we just say we were saving up for college? Two hundred and fifty dollars? ROYCE Yeah, I know and we still gotta pay for the dinner. MATT Damn, we’re about to be broke when we move out. You already bought a lot of the furniture, right? ROYCE Yeah, and I got a job at Walmart but someone hasn’t applied to a job yet. MATT I haven’t applied either. ROYCE My god... oh, look at this, it’s a Coca Cola store. Let's go in. INT. COCA COLA STORE - NIGHT JAMES They have different Cokes you can try. ROYCE We should try some of them... hey, how much is it to get a sample of each Coke? SERVER 20 dollars. (Pulls out 20 dollar bill) ROYCE Alright, here you go. 15. SERVER Alright, your tray will be at your table in 5 minutes. JAMES Alright, thanks. (Cuts to 5 minutes later) SERVER Here’s your tray. Thank you. ROYCE MATT Alright, let’s try some of these. Why is this one orange and why is this one red? ROYCE I don’t know Matt, you tell me. MATT Why would I be telling you? I just asked you. ROYCE Just hand me the damn drink. (Sips drink and immediately spits it out) ROYCE (CONT'D) Eughhhhh, that is... woo my god, that is definitely a drink. That is definitely one of the drinks of all time. Is it bad? JAMES ROYCE Is it bad? Oh, it’s definitely something, that’s for sure. JAMES Just tell me if it’s bad. ROYCE Just try it for yourself. JAMES Why are you—(grunts) alright. 16. (Spits out drink) JAMES (CONT'D) What the—what the hell is that? It tastes like my mom’s tam—you know what, nevermind. ROYCE Your mom’s what? MATT I don’t think you wanna know what he said. ROYCE Alright, whatever... (3 seconds of silence) MATT This is horrible though. You just wanna head out and eat? JAMES Yeah, this tastes like horse feces. ROYCE Explain to me how you would know what that tastes like... JAMES I’ve tasted a lot of things... ROYCE Ummm...(silence) okay then... let’s go eat, our table is ready. (Walks back to Bubba Gump) INT. BUBBA GUMP SHRIMP - NIGHT ROYCE Alright, we’re back. HOST Okay, your table is ready. Let me walk you guys there real quick. (Walks to the table) HOST (CONT'D) Alright, here’s your table. Your waiter will be up soon. 17. ROYCE Alright, thanks. (Opens menu) ROYCE (CONT'D) What are y’all looking at getting right now? MATT Probably a burger or something. JAMES I don’t know what I’m getting yet. I mean, the place is called Bubba Gump Shrimp, so their shrimp must be one of the best things on the menu. ROYCE Pretty true. I don’t know, I’m probably just gonna get chicken tenders and onion rings. I’m not trying to spend that much money. JAMES Number one, why are you being cheap? We’re in New York City of all places, and number two, chicken tenders? What are you, 7 years old? Grow up, get a steak or something. ROYCE Hey, shut up. Also, what the hell is wrong with chicken tenders? JAMES Alright, fine. Order your chicken fingers or whatever, I guess. WAITER Alright, what do you guys want to order? MATT Alright, I’ll have the bacon burger with fries. ROYCE Yeah, I’ll have the chicken tenders with onion rings. 18. JAMES And I’ll have the shrimp with a side of the rice. WAITER Alright, cool. Is that all? Any drinks? ROYCE Yeah, I’ll get a root beer. What about y’all? JAMES I’ll get a lemonade. MATT Yeah, me too. (Waiter walks away) ROYCE Yoo, that waiter was kinda bad. JAMES Can you not hit on a girl on a trip for once? Is that a problem? ROYCE What else am I supposed to do? JAMES I don’t know, just live life. ROYCE You’re right. MATT Where are y’all trying to go after we eat? ROYCE We can go to a nightclub maybe. JAMES Bro, a nightclub? Why do we have to go to a club? Can’t we just walk around or, I don’t know, go somewhere else? ROYCE Oh my god, man, stop being so lame. We might as well. We’re all over 18 at this point and what else is there to do here... 19. JAMES I’m pretty sure there’s a lot of other things to do in New York City, but you know what, fine. I’ll go... only for like an hour or two though. ROYCE Alright, we’ll see. MATT What? What are we doing? ROYCE Did you not listen to our conversation at all? MATT Oh, I’m sorry because it kinda seemed like you guys were just talking. ROYCE Do you want to go to the club with us? Yes or no? MATT Yeah, sure. I’ll go... not for that long though, maybe until around 10- 11, but yeah, sure. ROYCE 11? Bruh, are you guys that tired? MATT Yeah, a little. I woke up early today but I’m not too tired. I can stay up. (Waiter returns with food) WAITER Alright, here’s your food. (Puts food on the table) ROYCE Oh, thanks. WAITER You’re welcome. Is there anything else I can grab you? 20. JAMES Nah, I think that’s it. You guys? ROYCE and MATT Nope. WAITER Alright, enjoy. JAMES Don’t y’all think that came out a little too fast? MATT It was like 10 minutes but yeah, I guess. I mean, there’s not a lot of people here though, so that’s probably why. (eats chicken) ROYCE This needs more salt. (Grabs salt) JAMES I can be the judge of that... (eats chicken) Royce, are you serious? This has enough salt. Put the damn salt down. (grabs salt out of his hand) (Cuts to all three finishing their food) MATT That was actually pretty good. JAMES Yeah, it was pretty alright. WAITER How was the food? ROYCE Pretty good. WAITER Do you need a takeout box? ROYCE Yeah, that would be great, thanks. 21. MATT Bro, it’s like one and a half pieces of chicken tenders. You can’t just eat the rest? JAMES He always gets takeout boxes for literally everything... I have no idea why. ROYCE So I still have stuff to eat for the next day at home. That’s why. MATT Alright, you paid for it? ROYCE What the hell do you think I’m doing right now? JAMES I don’t know man, it looks like you’re just staring at the paper. Maybe try actually signing the check. Oh wow. ROYCE JAMES What are you oh wowing about? ROYCE Hey guys, y’all have any money? JAMES No, why? I thought you said you were paying for the dinner. ROYCE Yeah, I was but I didn’t know it was gonna be this much. JAMES Oh my god... ROYCE Okay, first of all, I’m paying for the hotel. JAMES Yeah, which we also paid for. 22. ROYCE And also, why is it all on me? Why can’t y’all pay for your own meal? JAMES Because we’re broke. MATT (laughs) Speak for yourself. I have money. I got you, Royce. (Puts down a $100 dollar bill) JAMES How much money do you have in your pocket? MATT A lot. That’s all you need to know. Anyways, y’all guys ready? ROYCE Yeah, I’m ready. JAMES Yeah, me too. (Walks out of the restaurant) EXT. TIMES SQUARE - NIGHT MATT Okay, what club are we going to? ROYCE I forget the name of it... it’s some dance club though. MATT Isn't like the main thing to do at a nightclub is drink? And we can’t even do that. ROYCE I mean, there’s also music and dancing which we all love. And we can get non-alcoholic drinks so we’re chilling. JAMES I don’t know man... 23. ROYCE Come on, I'm pretty sure we’ll have some fun. (In Da Club by 50 Cent plays) (All three get out of the car) EXT. THE FUNCTION - NIGHT ROYCE Alright, here we are... y’all ready? JAMES Yeah, I guess. (Opens door) (A lot of people dancing and moving around) MATT Jesus, there are way too many people here for my liking. JAMES Yeah, why the hell is it so loud? And I thought I was immune to noise... ROYCE Let's just go find a place to sit. (Sits down) SECURITY GUARD Sorry, this is the VIP seating. ROYCE Yeah, that’s why we’re sitting here and you’re a security guard working at a nightclub making barely above minimum wage... SECURITY GUARD You’re right. I don’t get paid enough to deal with fools like you. Do whatever. JAMES I’m a little thirsty though... let’s go over to the bar area. I wanna see what drinks they have. 24. (Walks over to the bar area) JAMES (CONT'D) Hmm, this seems pretty good... blueberry blast. ROYCE Yeah, I wanna try that also. MATT Alright, I guess I’ll try it too... what is it? JAMES I think it’s like a blueberry lemonade or something. I don’t know. MATT How are blueberries and lemonade in the same sentence? JAMES I don’t know... I guess we’ll find out. (All three sip their drinks) ROYCE Damnnnn, this is hitting. MATT Nah, this slaps. JAMES Yeah, this is fire. (Royce aggressively sips the drink) JAMES (CONT'D) Damn, chill my man... are you just looking to get a brain freeze? ROYCE This is not that cold to get a brain freeze from. JAMES Yeah, you’re right. (One More Time by Daft Punk plays) 25. ROYCE Ayy, let’s go. Time to get on the dance floor. JAMES Yeah, I guess whatever (muffles) even though I don’t dance really. MATT I’ll stay over here. I don’t wanna dance really. ROYCE Come on man, you can try and pull some girls over there. MATT Nah, I’m good. I’d rather stay in the shadows and pull some girls over here if I’m being honest. ROYCE Alright, whatever... (Walks over to the dance floor) ROYCE AND JAMES (CONT'D) ONE MORE TIME!!! (Jumping up and down to the song) Katy, a blond haired girl walks up to James KATY Hey, what's your name? JAMES Hey... uh, it’s James. KATY Ah cool, my name is Katy. Is this your first time here or like in a club at all? JAMES Yeah, how did you know that? It’s my first time in New York City in general and it’s my first time in a club. KATY Yeah, I kinda figured due to how confused you looked. That’s why I came over here. What do you do? 26. JAMES I’m sorry, what? The music is way too loud. KATY LIKE WHAT DO YOU DO FOR A LIVING? JAMES Oh, I just graduated high school but I’m moving to Orlando to go to college next month. KATY You just graduated high school? Nevermind, I’ll see ya. JAMES No, don’t leave... damn it. ROYCE (In a sarcastic tone) So how did it go? JAMES Bruh, I said I just graduated high school and she just walked away. ROYCE Yeah, sucks to suck. I haven’t even approached a girl yet at all. Should I try? JAMES Yeah, try that one chick over there. ROYCE What? No? She’s like obese... JAMES First of all, why you fat shaming, and second, what’s wrong with obese girls? ROYCE No, I’m not talking to her... that one looks pretty nice though... alright, we’ll see... Royce walks up to a girl named Maria who's a black haired Indian girl that's around the same age as him ROYCE (CONT'D) Hey, what's your name? 27. MARIA Who are you? ROYCE Oh yeah, my name is Royce. MARIA Please leave... ROYCE I can’t get your number? No IG either? Damn. MARIA Please stop talking to me... ROYCE Okay, alright, I’ll leave you alone. MARIA Please do. JAMES So how did it go? ROYCE Yeah, I suck. JAMES Yeah, we know. Let’s just go home... (Light Flex by Tone Sith and 2 Chainz plays) ROYCE Hold on... one more song. (Takes off hoodie) (Everybody moves out of the way to put Royce in the middle) (Starts dancing) JAMES Bro, what the hell are you doing man? (Does a flip) (Cheering) 28. ROYCE Yoo, come on man. I gotta jump over you. JAMES What the hell... no, stop. (Ducks head) (Royce jumps over James) (Does a half split) ROYCE Woo, that was a workout. (Cuts to Matt sitting) MATT Ah, nothing like Royce acting like he’s the main character in public. I’m gonna get another one of these. (Gets out of seat) ROYCE Jesus man, chill out. I just jumped over you. It wasn’t going to hurt. JAMES Yeah, that doesn’t disregard the fact that it was still terrifying. Tiara, a 22 year old brown haired white girl walks up to Royce in awe. TIARA Hey, that was pretty cool. What’s your name? ROYCE Royce. How about yours? TIARA Tiara. Are those your friends? ROYCE Yeah, one’s at the lounge area and then one’s right over there. TIARA Oh, what do you do for fun? 29. ROYCE Ah, you know, I just write, listen to music, watch TV sometimes. I also did martial arts for a while... TIARA Damn, you do a lot. You seem pretty cool though. Can I get your number? ROYCE Yeah, sure. (Pulls out phone) TIARA Alright, what is it? 732- ROYCE A random guy who's tall and muscular named Josh walks up to Royce in anger. HEY! JOSH ROYCE Who’s that? Is he talking to me? TIARA I think he is... JOSH What do you think you’re doing talking to my girlfriend? ROYCE Okay, first of all, she came up to me, so pipe down, alright? And also, who the hell are you? JOSH I’m her boyfriend. ROYCE What? You didn’t tell me you had a boyfriend? JOSH I just said that she was my girlfriend. You need a hearing aid, buddy? 30. TIARA We only met each other like 10 minutes ago. Also, I didn’t think it would matter. JOSH Back off now or... Or what? JAMES JOSH Oh, you guys have a group, huh? BOYS! 3 of Josh's friends who are muscular and tall begin to walk over to Royce and James MATT Ah, what the hell is going on over there? (sipping drink) (Gets up and walks over) MATT (CONT'D) Alright, what’s going on? We can figure this out. JOSH This bozo tried talking to my girl. MATT Royce, come on man. You didn’t try talking to a single girl? ROYCE I didn’t know she wasn’t single. MATT Okay, whatever... just leave us alone, alright? We don’t want any beef. ROYCE Ayy, okay, I’m not striking first so if this guy wants to square up then I don’t see a problem with it. This guy’s an idiot. JOSH What’d you call me? 31. ROYCE Oh, I’m sorry. Didn’t know you needed your hearing aid. I said you’re AN IDIOT. (Josh pushes Royce) (Royce falls down) JAMES Aw, bring it on man. MATT Okay, so we’re just doing this... alright then. (James punches one of Josh’s friends) (Royce gets up and tackles Josh) TIARA Guys stop... stop, ah whatever. I’m leaving. Y’all can get beat up together. I’m not watching this. (Royce kicks Josh in the head) (Josh picks Royce up and body slams him) (James hook punches Josh’s friend and elbows him in the face) (Josh tries to grab for a tackle but Royce hook kicks him in the face) Yeahhh! JAMES (Royce punches James in the face) JAMES (CONT'D) Ow man, what the hell was that for? ROYCE Oh, I thought you were another guy... Idiot.
