SCENE SAMPLE 1
MICHAEL walks halfway to the
car
SAM
ok.
I know what you are going to say.
Don’t say it. We have
discussed this
already.
I won’t change my mind.
BENJAMIN
I am sorry but I am
responsible for my
daughter’s
happiness. You should never
marry
someone you don’t love.
SAM
I love MICHAEL.
BENJAMIN
I don’t see it.
SAM
(in a low tone)
I don’t doubt it. You
never see
anything.
BENJAMIN
Why do you love him?
SAM
Maybe you should ask
why shouldn’t I
love him: he provides everything I
need and he is the
best looking boyfriend I ever
had.
BENJAMIN
That is exactly what
I meant. You have a
problem
falling in love. You are way too
practical.
Real Love is just for the
sake of love, there shouldn’t be
any
reason.
SAM
Excuse me. I don’t
see the problem with
having
a reason to love. Love is simple:
someone cares about
you and treats you
good,
and... so you love him. Love doesn’t
have
to be blind.
BENJAMIN
I don’t understand
why you grew up to be
such
a cold person. Your mother and
I were
a loving couple, we...
SAM
STOP, I don’t want to
hear it. Keep
mother
out of this.
BENJAMIN
I know she wouldn’t
like to see you
getting married for
the wrong reason
any
more than I do.
SAM
Never mind all that!
I don’t care if we
agree about
this marriage or not,
but you are not
qualified
to speak for mother. And don’t
waste your time, I am
getting married
whatever
you think. Don’t come to the
engagement party if
you can’t accept my
marriage.
That’s fine to me.
SAM leaves her father and walks back to
the car.

SCENE SAMPLE 2
Over her shoulder, we see a guy,
David, running
quickly
towards her. he slows down, pull down his
cap,
and walks towards her back with quick steps.
He scares her from the back,
she screams a little
bit.
She turns her head over and recognizes it is
him
and laughs. He gives her a gentle hug which
lasts
some time.
BONNIE
Hey... why are you so
late today? we
only
have 10 minutes to get to class.
He leans towards the bench
breathing.
DAVID
(out of breath)
I need two minutes
after all this
running.
BONNIE
(tries to pull him up from the
bench)
Come on.. get up, we should go right now
DAVID
(tired)
Naah... we can get
there in five minutes.
DAVID pulls her down on the
bench.
DAVID
Come on, just sit
here with me for two
minutes,
please.
The girl smiles and sits next
to him.
The boy leans on her.
BONNIE
Why are you so late today
anyway?
He pulls out a brown paper bag
from behind and
points
to it. The girl’s eyes glow.
BONNIE
Thank you!
She stretches her hand to grab
it. DAVID pulls
it out
of her reach.
DAVID
who says that this is
for you, it took
me
half an hour to get it.
He put out his hand. Bonnie
puts her
brown
paper bag into his hand.
DAVID
what is this?
BONNIE
See for yourself. I
don’t gurantee it is
tasty.
He looks into the bag while she
grabs
the
bag she wants. They exchange their lunches.
She gets her favorite
sandwiches while he gets a
box of
homemade pasta from her. They smile.
DAVID
Maybe we should just
skip this class for
today,
since... we are already late.
She looks at her watch,
recognizes that they are
really
running late. She pulls him up from the
bench and they walk quickly
hand in hand into the
building.
