Screenplay - Scene 03

EXT. EDINBURGH STREET - DAY
Empty city views.
Before sunset BERLIN and SAINT make their way into the city centre.
The street is cast in shadows; the street lights begin to glow.
BERLIN receives a text message on his phone.
It shows an image of a smiling girl.

BERLIN
Ha! My friend just sent me a message!

SAINT
Really? Girlfriend?

BERLIN
No! She's my best friend from high school.

SAINT
Is she cute? Show me her photo!

BERLIN
(covering the screen of his phone)
Oh man! You are so nosy!
She's an actress in Taiwan!

SAINT
What.. An actress? Wow, amazing!
What did she text you, I can't understand it!!

BERLIN
...Secrets!

SAINT
Hey Berlin, you are nosier than me, OK?

BERLIN
Do you really want to know?

SAINT
No, no. I'm not interested anymore!

BERLIN
C'mon!! Saint?

SAINT
OK. So how did you meet each other?

BERLIN
In high school.

SAINT
Oh! First love! I've got it!

SAINT grabs BERLIN's mobile phone suddenly and runs away.

BERLIN
Hey! Give it back!

BERLIN tries to get the phone, following and chasing SAINT.
The two boys run down the street,
disappearing into the Summer heat haze.
