“Step into The Game”
FADE IN:
INT. SHOPPING
DISTRICT - MID AFTERNOON
STEVEN (TURNIP) is
walking through the shopping district with a girl. He is struggling to carry
all the bags in his hands. The girl is leading the way in front of him. Every
time she looks back at him, he carries the bags normally. Whenever she turns
around, he’s straining. She spots a café.
GIRL
(pointing)
Let’s go in here!
(pulling STEVEN in)
STEVEN
(is flustered because of the contact)
O…okay…
(thinks in his head)
She likes me right? She wouldn’t touch me if she didn’t
like me right?
The waiter walks
towards them. He is obviously an alpha male. The girl has her eyes glued to
him.
WAITER
What can I get you, miss?
GIRL
Hmm… I’m feeling a little hungry today so I’d
like to try your steak, your signature salad, and would you please recommend me
a drink too?
WAITER
Right away, gorgeous.
(begins to walk away)
STEVEN
W-wait…
WAITER
Yeah? Forgot about you, man.
GIRL
(stares at Steven and points)
He’s my friend. We’re friends.
STEVEN
I guess I’ll just have a water.
WAITER
I’ll be right back.
STEVEN
(Hesitates for a moment and then says)
I’ve known you for a while, and I… I was…
wondering if you wanted to be more than just friends… Is this a date? This can
be a date if you want this to be a date…
GIRL
Wait, what?
Mutters to herself: This is way too awkward…
(STEVEN stares)
I thought I made it clear to you what we
were, sorry, I don’t want to be your girlfriend. It’s not you, it’s me…? Yeah,
sorry, I gotta go.
GIRL gets out of her
seat, grabs her bags and walks out of the restaurant.
STEVEN remains in
his seat and stares at the table.
WAITER walks towards
him with the food they ordered.
WAITER
Here’s your water. Did your girl just leave?
STEVEN
(looking up at the waiter)
No, she just went to use the bathroom.
WAITER
Yeah… okay. Here’s the bill by the way, can’t
cancel your food.
STEVEN picks up the
$60.00 bill, stares at it a little bit and then sighs.
DISSOLVE TO:
STEVEN’S ROOM
STEVEN’s room is
very clean. He decoration is a poster of Biggie Smalls on the wall over his bed
(which he is sitting on) that says ‘FUCK BITCHES GET MONEY.’ He is staring at
it.
STEVEN’s friend
KEVIN is playing around on the computer with a red bag on the floor next to
him.
KEVIN
Well don’t feel bad about it… She was only a
five out of ten anyway.
STEVEN
I don’t know. I thought I had a chance…
Should’ve known better I never have a chance.
KEVIN grabs the red
bag and walks over to STEVEN. He gives him a hug.
KEVIN
I know that feel bro.
(camera pans to a view reminiscent of the
meme. They stay in that pose for a couple of seconds just as it starts to get
kind of awkward.)
That’s why I got you this!
KEVIN opens up the bag
to reveal a DVD titled: THE GAME.
Look, it even comes with a poster!
STEVEN
What is this?
KEVIN
I found out about this the other day. This
guy here…
(opens up the poster and points at the guy on
the poster)
…calls himself Mystery. He’s the greatest
pick up artist in the world! This is what success looks like!
STEVEN
No way. He looks like an emo ostrich.
KEVIN
Look, watch this.
KEVIN walks over to
the TV and inserts the videotape. Mystery appears on the screen.
MYSTERY
I’m MYSTERY, and this is my wingman STYLE. We
are currently in front of one of L.A’s most exclusive clubs. Watch us go in and
pick up the most exclusive women.
MYSTERY walks in and
immediately begins to picks up a set of girls. He isolates the prettiest one
and starts talking to her. (What he is saying is muffled.) By the end of the
five-minute intro, he has her kissing him.
MYSTERY
(still has her in his arms, and suddenly
turns towards the camera to say:)
And that’s how it’s done boys! Keep watching to learn the
secrets of the trade.
Camera cuts back to our
guys.
STEVEN is staring
intently at the screen while KEVIN jumps up from the bed and starts screaming
and yelling with his hands up.
KEVIN
FUCK YEAH!! We’re going to be like him soon!! Aren’t you
excited??
STEVEN
I don’t know…
KEVIN
I did a little research and learned that there’s a full
community of guys like him!! Don’t worry STEVEN were going to be winners in no
time!
KEVIN keeps screaming.
Zoom up of STEVEN
smiling for the first time.
Camera pans away from
STEVEN’S face and zooms in on the poster of Biggie Smalls.
FADE OUT
THE END.
