strawberry jennifer (Daytime. Inside Q4Quik (gas station). Song "Poor Dead William" by Michelle Lewis.) Jennifer and Andrea go over to the Mountain Dew Freeze Machine, and Jennifer is getting herself a freeze. Andrea: God, that Rae scares me. She's like Laurie Manning with all of her schedules. Jennifer: I know. I couldn't stand it if my life was that structured. Andrea: And what was she wearing? It's like she tries to look like a freak. Jennifer: Yeah. What the hell's with that? Does she dress like that all the time, or is it a summer thing? Andrea: I don't know, but that isn't a summer thing. Summer things are mom's apple pie and the beach, not... that! Jennifer: Well, she's insane. Andrea: Uh-uh. Don't say insane. Say colorful. It's a much better word. Jennifer: Whatever. They both walk around the store, looking at the items and such. Andrea picks up a few things (one of which is "Phish Food" from Ben and Jerry's). Jennifer picks up a strawberry air freshener, which prompts the next discussion. They both meander around to make it to the register. Jennifer: Hey, Andrea, have I ever told you my philosophy on strawberries? Andrea: Strawberries? You're so strange. No, I don't think so, but you might as well tell me now, because I know you'll ask again in three minutes. Jennifer: Hey, I'm not that predictable! Andrea: No, you're not predictable... Just opinionated and stubborn- Jennifer: --don't forget loud. Andrea: I'm getting there... And loud and whenever you want to tell someone something, you just dig at them and dig at them until they give in a let you tell it. Jennifer: (rolls her eyes) Cute. Andrea: Am I right? Jennifer: Yeah. But don't tell anyone. Andrea does the lip lock thing, and puts the key in her front shirt pocket. Jennifer: So, do you want to hear it or not? Andrea nods her head and points to her mouth. Jennifer: (not angrily) Do you know how damn annoying you are? Andrea just grins. Jennifer: Do you? Andrea: Sure. Jennifer: Damn it. Now what was I talking about? Andrea: (points to the air freshener in Jennifer's hand) Strawberries. Jennifer: Oh, yeah. Strawberries. They are the perfect accessories to any love scene in a movie. Don't you think? Andrea: (testing her) Any movie? Jennifer: Yeah, well I guess. Just think about it. How much better would love scenes be if you added strawberries? Andrea: How about that one in "Jerry Maguire"? (Andrea starts thrashing around in the store.) The "never stop fu--" Jennifer: (ducks behind a shelf, embarrassed, cuts her off before she can say the last word.) Jee-sus. Have you no modesty? No, not that movie obviously. Andrea: But you said that any movie would work. Jennifer: Don't be such a four-year-old. So, my theory needs work. So what? But think about it... Strawberries are... (searches for words) passionate, perfect... gratifying, even. They symbolize everything that is wonderful about love. Andrea: You're full of shit, Jen. Jennifer: (satisfied) I know. Andrea: (cocks one eyebrow and gives Jennifer a look) This is why I love being your friend. I can never know what will come out of your mouth next. (grabs her chin) And the only way you can get away with it is because you are so damn cute. Jennifer: That I didn't know. Andrea: Yes you did. That's why you are so cocky. Jennifer: Oh, so I'm cocky now. I thought I was cute. Andrea: Nope, you've graduated to cocky. And pretty soon you can move on to annoying. The girls are finally at register. Jennifer picks up a magazine off the rack: "The Advocate". Other magazines are "The Independent" and "George"??? Jennifer: (under her breath) Yippee! The girls stand behind Brenna who is buying a 12-pack of Fresca. The girl behind the counter is talking to Brenna (but the conversation is inaudible). Andrea: (lifts up her shirt and looks at her belly-button.) Isn't it cute? Jennifer: What? Andrea: My belly-button. It's cute. Jennifer: (looks at it) Indeed. And it's dirty. Andrea: Oh, that's cute. Do you think I should get it pierced? Jennifer: Whatever. Andrea: Well, forget you. You just have your head buried in that magazine. What's so interesting in there that you have to ignore me? Jennifer: Nothing. Well, it just says in here that more people in the U.S. fear bicycles than escalators, and that 15% fear the Veterans Administration and only 4% fear the INS. Brenna and girl behind counter turn to join Andrea in staring at Jennifer. Andrea: And this you find interesting? Girl Behind Counter: Well, if the government packaged weed and sold it like cigarettes and sold it for profit, they could completely wipe out the national debt in less than 5 years. Jennifer and Andrea raise their eyebrows at each other and start to giggle as Brenna leaves the store with her Fresca. The two girls mouth the word colorful, laugh and leave. 991225 ... andrea this is my favorite part 991231 ... jennifer better still pretty ... 000101 ... setsuna meiou my lips to touch yours 000101 ...
