Tough Love: Episode 1

?INT. BEDROOM – NIGHT

(Open scene with a slow pan across the floor of someone’s bedroom as we hear the sound of a woman moaning. Various articles of clothing can be seen scattered about on the floor. As the bottom of the bed comes into view the moaning stops and the camera scrolls up to show Aphrodite presumably naked under the covers and Duke sitting at the edge of the bed shirtless. Most of Aphrodite cannot be seen but she is clearly stunning. Duke is muscular with short spiky hair.)

APHRODITE

That was amazing.

DUKE

Of course, I was involved after all.

APHRODITE

So… you have my number. Will you call me later?

DUKE

Do I look like the kind of guy that would spend the night with you and never call?

INT. BAR – MIDDAY

(Cut to Duke sitting at the bar with his friend Wilt while the bartender is getting them another round of drinks. Wilt is slightly shorter and less muscular than Duke.)

DUKE

And she bought it!

WILT

Just like that?

DUKE

Well technically I never said that I would call her. If she somehow came to that conclusion then there is no way I can be expected to take the blame for that.

(The bartender hands each of them a beer.)

BARTENDER

Duke, you are too sly.

DUKE

It’s a gift.

WILT

So what was this girl’s name anyway?

DUKE

How am I supposed to know? It was like a week ago! I remember it was something weird though. Like… Astrid, or Abby, or-

(Aphrodite yells from off-screen in a godly echoing voice as the lights go dim.)

APHRODITE

APHRODITE!
