30INT. SKYLAR'S DORM -- DAY

SKYLAR

Yeah?

WILL

It's Will, the really funny good looking

guy you met at the bar?

SKYLAR

I'm sorry, I don't recall meeting anyone

who fits that description.

WILL

Okay, you got me. It's the ugly,

obnoxious, toothless loser who got

drunk and wouldn't leave you alone all

night.

SKYLAR

Oh Will! I was wondering when you'd

call.

WILL

Yeah, I figured maybe sometime this

week we could go to a cafe and have

some caramels.

SKYLAR

Sounds good, where are you now?

WILL

You aren't, by any chance, Pre-law?

Are you?
