Script Tease: First Crush

Adam glances over to ZOE the waitress (15, cute, bubbly). In dramatic SLOW MO, she scrapes baked beans off a plate into a sludgy trough.

ADULT ADAM (Voiceover):
Her name was Zoe Macintosh. She was the complete package -- beautiful, older and her dad was our family podiatrist.

POPS:
Okay, last week, we told her your name. Let’s see if it stuck.
(calling to Zoe)
Oh, Miss? Could you top me off?

ADAM:
No, no! Pops, too ballsy! Pops! Stop! No, no, no. I can’t do this. I’m not ready!

Zoe approaches and pours Pops a cup of coffee.

ADAM (CONT’D):
‘Sup, girl?
(meek)
The check please?

ZOE:
You got it, Alan.

Zoe heads off.

ADAM:
Did you hear that? She just called me Alan!

POPS:
That’s not your name.

ADAM:
I’ll change it! I’m Alan now! Pops, you’re a genius! Thank you, Jedi Master.
