EXT. SILVAS - NIGHT
It is business as usual for the Indian restaurant, it is pack, it is noisy and two regular customers are on one of the tables outside the shop
A beat up Ethan staring blankly into the direction in front of him and Johnny sitting on his right is on the phone
(to the phone)
Hey honey..I’ll call you back..
okay??
Johnny cuts the line and puts his Black Samsung D500 back in his pocket
(to Ethan)
Eventually..you are gonna have to
say something to me..in response..
I got nothing to say..
Ethan..3 months already..I can
understand if you’re still sad..
but depressed??
Any of your girlfriends died before??
No right??
(annoyed)
I’m going to get to the bottom of this
depression shit of yours and I’m quite
sure it has something to do with you
saying ‘sorry’...
The first thing you all said to me in
SMC was ‘I’m sorry’ too..so what the
fuck??
You said ‘sorry’ before ‘I love you’
why??
I felt bad for her..
Seriously why??
(irritated)
Why do you wanna know so much??
Cause until YOU fucking tell someone
why, you are gonna be like this for
another 6 months!!!
The tables around them starts staring at their direction
I got nothing to say..
Johnny sighs off his irritation
Fine..I just wanted to be there for
you, like how you will always be
there for any of us..
Ethan remains silent
I may not be one of your best friends..
but what I do know..is that you are in
serious guilt..
Ethan scoffs off Johnny’s remarks
Eventually..I’ll ask Al and Eric..I WILL
find out why..
Ethan puts both his elbows on the table and rest his forehead on his palms
Ethan’s uncomfortable body language speaks for itself,
(sighs)
You know how stories end..good ending..
bad ending..cliff hangers, mine ended
as a fucked up one..
Go on..
WHITE FLASH TO:
INT. NOVA CAFE - AFTERNOON
Playing in the background, Unwell, by Matchbox 20
Yeah..why do I get the feeling I
won’t like what he is about to tell
us..
I’m beginning to lose interest..
(sighs)
What the fuck is it about this time??
I like her...but I don’t like her
enough..
Both Albert and Eric begins to lose interest in the conversation
What’s wrong with her??
Nothing..
You do know right..Chloe is not even
five percent the girlfriend Layla is...
CUT BACK TO:
EXT. SILVAS - NIGHT
Johnny in shock and speechless
(crying)
I was about to end it with her...and
...and...before I could tell her anything
...she died...
Why??
I just...I...I just...I just can’t love
her the way she loves me..
Johnny’s brought to silence by the remark
And because of that you need to break up
with her??
Ethan remains silent
Johnny looks at Ethan that is shutting down again, he gets off his seat and punches Ethan on the face
Ethan falls off the chair and to the ground
(angry)
I told you before, when you screwed it
up with Chloe..another mistake you tell
me which I deem is stupid, I’ll take a
swing at your face..
Johnny cools down and helps Ethan up
Anything else you wanna tell me??
Ethan starts tearing again
No..
I’m sorry about that..
Don’t worry about it..
CUT TO:
INT. PLANE - MORNING
It is dawn in the outside, the SCENE opens in the first class portion of a plane, Ethan sitting next to a window looking out to the sky getting brighter and brighter, with earphones on, the music currently playing, You Give Love a Bad Name, by Bon Jovi
Ladies and Gentleman this is your
Captain speaking, we will be landing
in Miami International Airport in an
hour..
A very attractive Malay stewardess walks to Ethan’s seat with a bottle of champaign and two glass wine cups
Ethan removes one side of the ear phone
Sir..would you like a drink??
(stares blankly at the
stewardess)
Will you join me??
The stewardess chuckles
I am sorry I can’t...
(smiles)
Just leave the bottle here then...
Okay...
She passes the bottle and a glass cup and leaves
Ethan continues staring out to the window
