Tough Love: Episode 1
Page 6
It’s been forever since we’ve seen each other, how are you? I would have called but I guess you forgot to give me your contact information before you changed your number.
LANA
Right… Listen, I dialed your number by mistake and I have a rather important call to make so-
DUKE
Well before you hang up we should make plans to meet up. How about our old bar?
LANA
You don’t really still hang out in bars all day do you?
DUKE
Uh… no! I just thought it would be nice to meet on familiar ground that’s all.
LANA
Maybe… I have to go.
(Lana hangs up and Duke puts down the phone and sulks for a moment. He hears someone knock on the door. As he walks over to open it he snaps back to his usual overconfident demeanor. He opens the door and Wilt enters carrying a bunch of papers.)
WILT
Hey, are you busy?
DUKE
I got a date in a few minutes.
WILT
What are you this time, a doctor?
DUKE
I am an officer of the law. Anyway, can I help you with something?
(Wilt walks over to Duke’s coffee table and spreads the papers out on it. Duke follows and they both sit down.)
WILT
You might want to rethink that date. I looked up Aphrodite on the internet and-
DUKE
I had a question about that actually. How can she be called “Aftro-dite” if she isn’t black?
WILT
That’s not… anyway, it turns out that she is actually a Greek goddess.
DUKE
That’s something to brag about.
WILT
