-Nerds Do It Better
Nerd Love part III
(On the side of
the street on Saturday night. Brent dressed as Gaff, Greg dressed as Lobot, and
Gwen dressed as Lyn Me from the Max Rebo Band)
Brent: If you
were going to dress up as Lyn Me why didn’t you dress up as Boba?Greg: They have to be obscure, everyone knows who Boba is.
Brent: And why are we walking? Its freezing.
Gwen: Me and Greg are planning on getting sloshed but if you wanna drive feel free. It’s only two
more blocks anyway quit your bitchin’.
Brent:…fine
Greg: you should do what I do and wear pajama pants under your jeans. Its warm and it is always good to have an extra pair of pants on. Especially if you’re planning to get some in a public place, which in college did-
Gwen: Not ever happen.
Greg: Dreams count!
Brent: Why would having another pair of pants help in that situation?
Greg: Accidents happen
Gwen: were here
Brent: Really? It seems quiet is this a small-(door opens and music is blaring and there are many people dressed as all kinds of things) Never mind.
(they enter)
Greg: Doctor’s companion, red shirt, red shirt, Fuchsia City gym leader, Kim from scott pilgrim. I am impressed.
Gwen: Oh, there’s Jerry come say hi.
(Jerry is a thin hairy guy. They all go say hi)
Gwen: (kisses him and gives him a hug) Hey Jerr bear how are you?
Jerry: Very good, Lyn Me I like it.
Gwen: Thank you
Jerry: Greg, always good to see the guy sleeping with my baby sister.
Greg: Happy to do it.
Jerry: And who is this flamboyant blade runner? Oh my god Brent! How are you?
Brent: Good man it’s good to see you.
Jerry: Last time I saw you was at these dumbdumbs’ wedding. As I recall you were dating that
skinny red head?
Brent: We broke up recently actually. Totally mutual and I didn’t act pathetic or anything.
Jerry: HA well you’re in luck I have a LOT of single friends here
Brent: Great, any of them straight women?
Jerry: A handful I think. Oh Brent if only you were a gay android killer.
Brent: If only you were a buxom young lass dressed as Harley Quinn instead of a hairy man.
Jerry: Well we can dream. Go go have fun, drink and be merry.
Greg: Catch you later Jerry. (Jerry goes off and talks with other guests)
Brent: I’m going to hit the bar
Greg: We’ll meet ya there.
(Brent walks to the bar and bumps into a woman in line)
Woman: You almost made me spill
Brent: Well then I am almost very sorry
Woman: The toll to the bar is to guess who I am-
Brent: Gwen Stacy
Woman: How did you get that so fast?
Brent: You’re blonde and wearing an “I heart Spidey” sticker. Personally I think Spider-Man was as
much at fault for your death as the Goblin was.
Woman: Well he was young
Brent: True
Woman: I’m going to the dance floor maybe I’ll see you out there
Brent: Yeah. Maybe (she walks away)…id never step on that dance floor.
(Brent makes a cocktail and heads to a large seating area where the music is not as loud)
(He sits down next to a girl dressed in a t-shirt and jeans.)
Brent: Hi
Girl: Hey
Brent: Brent slash Gaff
Casey: Casey slash girl who doesn’t care about party themes
Brent: One of my favorite lesser know characters
Casey: Funny
Brent: You say that and I want to believe you cause I AM funny but I noted sarcasm.
Casey: Ha ok Brent, how is it you’re at this party.
Brent: I'm good friends with Jerry’s sister, you?
Casey: I work with him
Brent: Really? Hmm ok well I'm going to get a drink
Casey: You have one right there
Brent: True but I can see the future. Can I get you anything?
Casey: Are you going to drug me and take advantage of me?
Brent: …only if you want me to.
Casey: Gin and tonic.
Brent: On it (he leaves the area and grabs hold of Jerry)
Brent: Jerry, what’s the deal with Casey?
Jerry: Interested in Ms. Party-pooper eh? That was quick.
Brent: Is she cool? Single? Open to dating poor self-employed writers?
Jerry: Yes, Yes, And you would have to ask her.
Brent: What is she into?
Jerry: The standard fair you are looking for I have no doubt. She was going to dress as a Doctor but
she assumed it would be played out, (A Doctor walks by) rather accurately I think.
Brent: Right. Ok thanks. (Brent quickly mixes a drink and walks back to the quite room. Casey is gone) Hey random guy dressed as a spartan super soldier.
Random guy dressed as a spartan super soldier: Yeah
Brent: You see a girl sitting on that couch go anywhere:
Random guy dressed as a spartan super soldier: Yeah, I think she went out back.
Brent: Thanks Chief (Brent walks outside and on his way trips over a cape and falls through the back
door. He looks up at Casey smoking a cigarette)
Casey: I didn’t need the drink that bad.
Brent: I meant for my entrance to be less dramatic then that but hey, didn’t spill a drop (He hands her
the drink)
Casey: So what’s your deal Brent?
Brent: My deal…hm Well I’m a writer. I write reviews for several websites. Video games, movies,
that kind of thing. Also I was wondering what you were doing on…sometime.
Casey: Smooth. Are you asking me out? And if so why?
Brent: I dunno life is short, shorter if you’re a replicant but short none the less.
Casey:…ok Brent I’ll bite. (she writes down her number on a napkin) Call me and we will do
something this weekend. I should warn you I am not easily impressed.
Brent: Good, that takes the pressure off
Casey: Later nerd boy (She walks away)
Brent: Yeah later (he walks back into the party and runs into Greg)
Greg: Hey man how’s it going?
Brent: Good actually I have a date this weekend.
Greg: Already?! That’s awesome man good job! I was worried you were going to be single forever.
Brent: What?
Greg: Hey babe! Come Here! (Gwen walks over)
Gwen: What is it?
Greg: Brent has a date this weekend.
Gwen: OH thank god. I thought you were going to be single forever.
Greg: Right!?
Brent: I hate you guys.
