Jane and Angela are standing with two other TEENAGE GIRLS.
ANGELA
I'm serious, he just pulled down
his pants and yanked it out. You
know, like, say hello to Mr. Happy.
TEENAGE GIRL #1
Gross.
ANGELA
It wasn't gross. It was kind of
cool.
TEENAGE GIRL #1
So, did you do it with him?
ANGELA
Of course I did. He is a really
well-known photographer? He shoots
for Elle on like, a regular basis?
It would have been so majorly
stupid of me to turn him down.
TEENAGE GIRL #2
You are a total prostitute.
ANGELA
Hey. That's how things really are.
You just don't know, because you're
this pampered little suburban
chick.
TEENAGE GIRL #2
So are you. You've only been in
Seventeen once, and you looked fat,
so stop acting like you're goddamn
Christy Turlington.
The two TEENAGE GIRLS move away from Jane and Angela.
ANGELA
(calling off)
Cunt!
(then)
I am so sick of people taking their
insecurities out on me.
The Colonel's Ford Explorer pulls up, and Ricky gets out.
JANE
Oh my God. That's the pervert who
filmed me last night.
ANGELA
Him? Jane. No way. He's a total
lunatic.
JANE
You know him?
ANGELA
Yeah. We were on the same lunch
shift when I was in ninth grade,
and he would always say the most
random, weird things, and then one
day, he was just like, gone. And
then, Connie Cardullo told me he
his parents had to put him in a
mental institution.
JANE
Why? What did he do?
ANGELA
What do you mean?
JANE
Well, they can't put you away just
for saying weird things.
Angela stares at Jane, then her mouth widens into a smile.
ANGELA
You total slut. You've got a crush
on him.
JANE
What? Please.
CONTINUED: (2)
ANGELA
You were defending him! You love
him. You want to have like, ten
thousand of his babies.
JANE
Shut up.
Jane suddenly finds Ricky standing in front of her.
RICKY
Hi. My name's Ricky. I just moved
next door to you.
JANE
I know. I kinda remember this
really creepy incident when you
were filming me last night?
RICKY
I didn't mean to scare you. I just
think you're interesting.
Angela shoots a wide-eyed look at Jane, who ignores it.
JANE
Thanks, but I really don't need to
have some psycho obsessing about me
right now.
RICKY
I'm not obsessing. I'm just
curious.
He looks at her intently, his eyes searching hers. Jane is unnerved and has to look away. Ricky smiles and walks off.
ANGELA
What a freak. And why does he dress
like a Bible salesman?
JANE
He's like, so confident. That can't
be real.
ANGELA
I don't believe him. I mean, he
didn't even like, look at me once.
