Tough Love: Episode 1
Page 7
This is serious! Aphrodite is the goddess of love, beauty, and sexuality. You seemed to have pissed her off real good and I think you might be in danger.
DUKE
Danger? What’s she going to do, love me to death?
WILT
I’m just saying that I don’t think you should go out tonight.
DUKE
Hmm. Let me think. Go out and get laid or stay here and learn about Greek culture with you.
WILT
(Standing up.) Look, I’m trying to help you. Why won’t you let me?
DUKE
Because you’re clearly just making this up since you can’t handle how awesome my life is. Plus all you ever do is complain.
WILT
When do I ever complain?
DUKE
You only recently stopped whining about losing your job at the fire department.
WILT
That’s because you’re the reason I was fired!
DUKE
Then there was that whole thing with your ex-girlfriend.
WILT
You slept with her!
DUKE
See? Always complaining.
WILT
You know what? Fine! I’m sorry I ever tried to help you. Just go.
DUKE
(Heading over to the door.) Good idea. Why stay in here when I can be in Katie- (Turns back to Wilt before exiting.) -‘s house.
(Duke exits with an obnoxious smile on his face while Wilt glares angrily at him.)
INT. BAR – NIGHT
(Scene opens with a full shot of the bar which is now clean. The bartender is washing the counter and serving various customers their drinks. Above them a T.V. is positioned which is broadcasting the news. One of the customers chugs their last beer and motions for the bartender.)
