INT. – THE PLANET – NIGHT
[Lots of people around. Music plays in the background. We see Kit standing over a turntable, wearing headphones, spinning some tunes. Tim is in the background on his cellphone.]
Tim: (phone) Hey Jen. Hey, it’s me, listen. I had a really shitty day. Uh, my 200 yard free relay team ate some bad sushi, they were up all night puking. Trish is now officially on academic probation, so, if you get the message, I’m at The Planet, I miss you, I hope you join me. Bye.
[Tim hangs up and takes a pull off his beer bottle.]
ELSEWHERE AT THE PLANET –
[Marina is shooting pool. A few guys stand around. She makes a perfect shot. The guys moan.]
Marina: (clears throat) Anyone else?
[The guys clear out. Tim comes up, sipping on his beer. Marina walks toward him with a cue.]
Marina: C’mon.
Tim: (chuckles) No.
Marina: Come on.
Tim: No, I’m obviously no match for you.
Marina: Well, you never know until you try.

INT. – MILK – NIGHT
[Alice gets a drink at the bar and sits down. After a moment, Gabby comes in.]
Alice: Hey!
Gabby: Hi!
[Gabby goes up to Alice for a kiss, but surprises Alice by only kissing on the cheek.]
Alice: Oh… How are ya?
[A couple of girls follow Gabby in and walk up to the table. One of them is Nadia Meirtschin and she looks like a complete biotch.]
Gabby: (to Alice) You know Nadia.
Alice: Yeah, hey!
[Alice extends her hand. Nadia flips her eyes at her.]
Nadia: Hey.
[Alice gives Gabby a sideways look.]
Girl with Nadia: Oh, my god. Have you seen this?
[The girl holds up one of the fliers Lacey made of Shane. Is says “Shane” and “Heartbreaker” in huge letters, and Shane’s face is right in the middle. Gabby and Nadia look at the flier and laugh. Alice looks uncomfortable and mad, but doesn’t say anything.]
Gabby: (shaking head) Lacey. Looks like Shane finally tangled with the wrong crazy bitch.
Nadia: There’s like a whole stack of them over by the door.
[Nadia and the girl leave. Alice looks at Gabby.]
Alice: Gabby? Gabby.
Gabby: Hm?
Alice: I was kind of hoping we could be alone.
Gabby: We can be alone with we’re dead.
[Nadia and the girl come back.]
Gabby: Is that Fiona over there? I can’t believe she’d even show her face in here.
[Alice looks humiliated, but smiles.]

INT. – THE PLANET – NIGHT
[Marina hands the phone to Tim, who is leaning over the pool table to make his shot.]
Marina: I don’t think she’s happy.
Tim: Oh. (takes phone) Jenny?
[Jenny already hung up. He hands the phone back to Marina and goes back to lining up his shot.]
Tim: She got cut off. I guess she’ll call back.
[Tim makes a shot. The 8-ball smacks the 9 of stripes into the corner pocket.]
Tim: Yesss!
[A few people who were watching voice their approval of the shot.]
Marina: (laughing) Did you just hustle me?
Tim: Yesss!
