josh

Huh? Wait, wait…

JOSH interrupts…

josh

I have to do this first.

Josh takes out his phone from his pocket to call JOAN.

His phone screen opens. We see into his calendar app. 19th of June circled. He taps on the date, A window screen lists:

JOSH taps on the ([Orange Bullet point (meaning pending)] Date with JOANA.] tab and called her contact number.

barimah

Fuck. You bitch!

He says disappointingly. BARIMAH tunes some buttons on his computer to amplify JOSH’s call.

Ringing sound heard.

CUT TO:

INT. JOAN’S ROOM – DAY

Joan’s room is coloured Pink Purple with a shade of darkness in it.

The room is littered with her clothes and shoes.

JOAN is seen laying in her bed prostrate, legs wide open, with left one flexed upwards. Her head is tipped over far edge of the bed. Her ears stuffed with an ear device totally covering her ear hole neatly. Logo on the device (the little downward triangle of the Versel V logo, coloured with its brownish orange with light shades in it and inscription in code pro font, at the right side of the tringle, coloured with a splash of bright paint colours, which reads, “splash”, all in lower cashing)

Tapping sounds and moans heard through the device, in low volume.

Her eyes closed, eyeballs in slight motion, a faint ecstatic smile, bopping up and down to the tabbing sound from the device.

RINGING.

receiver

Footsteps approach.

Door opens.

JOAN snaps up.

receiver

She reaches over to give the phone to JOAN.

joan

JOSH clears his throat.

JOSH

Hello… hey. It’s me. Josh.

joan

JOSH

Oh, Grea (phlegm catch with him. Clears throat to catch his voice)

Good. Good. (He tries to hide is nervousness)

joan (ON thone)

Okay.

JOSH

I was wondering, umm, if you like to da… err… if would love a date.

joan

You want to take me out? (JOAN smiles)

JOSH

Yeah.

JOSH clears his throat.

JOAN giggles excitingly.

JOSH gets excited but tries to hold it since he was on a phone.

JOSH

joan

JOSH

Great.

JOAN

Hey Josh… I’ve been meaning to ask you…

JOSH

Yeah…

joan

JOSH

Barimah gestures for him to not answer the question.

JOSH

I uhhh, ate sardines with uhh… casava flakes and some sauce. Yeah.

joan

josh

Yeah. Exactly like in SHS.

He says and smiles confidently.

joan

josh

Uhh… y… uhh… what? Hello…

JOSH clears his throat.

josh

So, I’ll see you?

josh

Alright, call me. (She giggles)

JOSH turns to BARIMAH smiling.

BARIMAH looks like he was forcing to keep a laugh in.

josh

I think I nailed this one. She even asked about what I ate today.

He says, smiling.

BARIMAH bursts out laughing.

josh

What? It’s bad? Is it bad?

Barimah continues laughing.

barimah

Dude, you never answer that question.

josh

What?

He said, confused.

barimah

The device turns on and shrinks them into very tiny forms.
