Tough Love: Episode 1

Seriously Wilt, research? I thought that I beat all of that nerd stuff out of you back in high school.

WILT

I’m just-

DUKE

Look man, I got a date to get to. Do whatever ya wanna do.

(Wilt stops walking and Duke continues down the sidewalk. As he walks away a strange woman dressed in a purple cloak can be seen staring at Duke from across the street. Before crossing the street Duke turns to yell back at Wilt.)

DUKE

If all goes well, I’ll text you pics!

(Duke walks away and the woman continues to stare at him. After Duke is off-screen she turns to look back at Wilt before disappearing around the corner.)

INT. BAR – THE NEXT MORNING

(Scene opens on a close up of a pile of broken glass on the floor that gets swept up by a broom. Zoom out to show the bartender sweeping up the mess left behind from the confrontation with Aphrodite. The bartender mutters angrily to himself.)

BARTENDER

Crazy bitch.

(A policeman and a psychiatrist walk into the bar. The policeman is carrying a police sketch of Katie and the psychiatrist is missing a small part of his ear.)

POLICEMAN

Excuse me sir, do you mind if we ask you a few questions?

BARTENDER

Go ahead.

POLICEMAN

We are looking for an escaped mental patient who has been spotted in this area. (Holds up police sketch.) Brown hair, green eyes, Caucasian, prone to fits of violent rage.

BARTENDER

There were a few girls that came in here that looked like that but none of them seemed violent.

(The policeman and psychiatrist look around at the mess Aphrodite caused.)

POLICEMAN

Really?

BARTENDER

The girl who did this had black hair.

POLICEMAN

Sir, this is a very serious situation.
