EXT. COFFEE BEAN - THE SPHINX - LATER

When You Were Young, by The Killers is playing on average volume in the background
The SCENE opens in an unusually quiet Coffee Bean outlet in The Sphinx. Ethan and Layla are sitting on a table that is arranged on the outside of the store

ETHAN
Hey..you wanna go Frevor
on Friday??


LAYLA
To meet your friends?? NO!!


ETHAN
Why not?


LAYLA
They will start judging me..


ETHAN
What???


LAYLA
How we got together..all those
things..


ETHAN
Layla..the only thing that
would get them to judge you..
is that if you tell them you
are a dude..


LAYLA
No..


ETHAN
Layla..they are not like that..


LAYLA
Then why don’t you meet my
friends??


ETHAN
It’s different for a guy and you
know that..


LAYLA
You’re so full of it..tell me why
do you think they wont judge me..


ETHAN
Cause..if you ask me to describe
them in one word only..the word
would be herpes...none of them
is a saint..


Layla remain silent

LAYLA
Tell me more about them..


Ethan glows with excitement

ETHAN
Well..they’re all sort of a
celebrity..


LAYLA
What??


ETHAN
You will know when you see them
at Frevor on Friday..


LAYLA
I assume I won’t be the only girl
right??


ETHAN
Definitely not..


LAYLA
(curious)
So..back to something you said just
now..why Herpes??


ETHAN
(laugh)
Cause they are all like some rash..


LAYLA
Okay..I guess I more or less know
what you mean by that..


ETHAN
They might not be the best example
there is out there..but I am sure
you will like them..


Layla smiles
