In the following scene, the supporting role of “wingman” is played by the bagel shop.
* * *
(A young man, early 20s, smartly dressed for morning, sits with a young woman, dark hair, early 20s, hiply dressed, in a modern, airy bagel shop in suburban America. They talk, drink coffee and eat bagels with cream cheese. At this point in the story, they are only friends.)
MAN:
I know. It’s more about later. Maybe in a few years, we’ll both be living in New York and we’ll meet up and go to a show together. And then maybe we’ll go and get dinner and wine. We’ll go back to one of our apartments and get high and make love
and then get high again. We’ll fall asleep in arms and then get up late the next day and
go get coffee (glances down).
(pause)
(glances up)
And bagels.
(Sustained eye contact)
End scene.
