EXT. BUSY STREET - NIGHT

Man and Woman stand on the street corner. There is obvious tension between them, but nothing is said. Suddenly, Woman sees a beautiful woman walking across the street with another man.

WOMAN

(Pointing at the beautiful woman.)

Who's that girl?

MAN

(Embarrassed.)

Look away!

WOMAN

Is she really going out with him?

MAN

Some guys have all the luck.

WOMAN

(Agreeing.)

She's a beauty.

MAN

(Sheepishly.)

Nothing compares 2 U.

There is another moment of awkward silence as she doesn't answer him.

MAN

(cont'd)

I can't fight this feeling...

WOMAN

Mickey...

MAN

I can't hold back!

WOMAN

Leave a tender moment alone!

MAN

I want your sex!

WOMAN

No more words!

MAN

I would die 4 U!

WOMAN

Love is a battlefield.

MAN

(Accusingly.)

I've done everything for you.

WOMAN

It's my life!

MAN

(pleading.)

Stay the night!

WOMAN

Relax.

MAN

Let's go all the way!

WOMAN

(Upset.)

Never!

Woman quickly hails a cab.

MAN

Damn! I wish I was your lover!

Cab drives up. Woman speaks to the driver.

WOMAN

Take me home.

MAN

Don't you forget about me!

Woman climbs into the taxi.

WOMAN

(To the driver.)

Drive!

MAN

Don't dream it's over!

Taxi speeds away. Man is left standing alone on the corner, dejected.

MAN

Love stinks.

FADE OUT.
