One of my first versions....


MY FIRST TIME
BY: AMY GILLESPIE
JAN. 10, 2000
AUG. 4, 2000

FADE TO: 
INT. BRITNEY'S BEDROOM - DAY

My Sharona plays in the background.


BRITNEY
Shit!  
(Winces)
Shoot!

We see BRITNEY GILLESPIE grab her bleeding knee, grab
a tissue and sloppily soak up the blood on her knee,
then throw the tissue away.  She then gathers all her
bags- a total of 6- and staggers to her bed and takes
the portable radio playing My Sharona, and staggers to
the door.

CLOSE SHOT- BRITNEY'S BACK IN HER ROOM- ZOOM OUT- BRITNEY'S BACK IN CHURCH PARKING LOT

EXT. CHURCH PARKING LOT - DAY

We see BRITNEY walk up to SHELLY.

BRITNEY
Hey Shelly.

SHELLY
You have more bags than I do. How is that possible?!  What do you have in those things?

BRITNEY
Crap I'm not going to need.

SHELLY
Makes sense, me too.

BRITNEY
I'm gonna be good this week so stop all the profanity coming out of my mouth with your fist.

SHELLY
Ok.

BRITNEY
I'm gonna stay pure.

SHELLY
Good, Sister Mary Gillespie.

BRITNEY
Shut up.  I'm not Catholic.  

SHELLY
I know.

BRITNEY
I thought you where going to meet us at the Econo Lodge?

SHELLY
I was.  I have been riding in that car for 10 straight
hours just so I can come here and travel that same 10
hours to get back to the same place.

BRITNEY
Fun.

SHELLY
Yeah.  Dad thought it would be a good idea.
(Looks around)
Now I'm early.

We see a red van pulls into the parking lot.

SHELLY
Sel!

BRITNEY
Selena!!  Selena Melton!

We see the van park.  SELENA MELTON jumps out.

SELENA
Hey!

We see SHELLY, BRITNEY run over to SELENA and hug her.

BRITNEY
Hey, 'boro bitch!

SELENA
Hey!  M-Fuge!!!

BRITNEY
Yes!

SELENA
Finally!

SHELLY
Hey, Sel!

SELENA
Shelly-Belly... How's it going?

SHELLY
Good.  You?

SELENA
I'm all right.  Marti's coming at 5:20.

SHELLY
Cool.

We see MANDA, in the background of SHELLY, BRITNEY, and SELENA.  She waves.

BRITNEY
Is that Manda?

MANDA
Hey!

BRITNEY
Oh!

We see them run over to MANDA and hug her.

SELENA
I thought you weren't coming?

MANDA
I'm not!  I just came to say goodbye.

SHELLY
Oh!  Sweet girl!

We see them all share another hug.

FADE TO: 

INT. VAN - LATE DAY

We see a large sized van filled with 14-15 year old teenagers and a middle-aged driver.

PRESTON
Britney, I still love you.

BRITNEY laughs.

BRITNEY
What?

PRESTON 
I love you!

BRITNEY
Sure you do!

PRESTON
I do!  Why would I say it loud enough so everyone can hear it if I didn't?

BRITNEY 
Cause you're whack!

PRESTON
You're hopeless.

BRITNEY
Sure I am.

SHELLY
What are you two fighting about? 

BRITNEY
I don't know!  Preston started it.

We see everyone in the van like this: DRIVER: RICKY -
SHOTGUN: SELENA MELTON - 1ST ROW: BRITNEY GILLESPIE,
PRESTON, CHRIS - 2ND ROW: SHELLY, EDDIE, ARCHIE - 3RD
ROW: MARTI, NATHAN, BERT

BRITNEY writes in a journal.  PRESTON looks over her shoulder to see what she is writing.

BRITNEY
None of your business, okay!!  Leave me alone!!

PRESTON backs off.

We see a series of shots of people in the van as BRITNEY talks.

BRITNEY V/O
Hey.  Oh my goodness.  This may be the worst week of
my life the way things are going.  Preston just had to
come and the first words out of his mouth had to be "I
love you."  We had been going out since Christmas and
we broke up last week.  This boy is real cool!  Shelly
and Eddie broke up last month.  They don't hate each
other like me and Preston but it's pretty close.  You
just gotta catch them in a bad mood!  Preston needs to
go to sleep or something.  I swear- it seems like the
perfect love/hate relationship but no.  I swear if he
tries a thing he's dead!  The dog's best friend over
there is Chris.  Drooling is, as you can see, not too
appealing but he can be a sweetheart when he wants to
be.  Then, the crazy maniac next to Eddie is Sonny.
Getting his groove on to- Blondie's new hit!  I love
Blondie but I don't know what's so hilarious about
that!

SONNY
Ooh... Wee!!!  Call me on the line, you can call me, any, anytime.  Call Me!

BRITNEY V/O cntd.
Now I get it.  But still.  The one near the window in
the back is Bert- the quiet but lovable one!  Not
exactly boyfriend material but best boy bud- any
day!!  Nathan is next to Bert.  Nathan's really a
doll! Well, that's Marti.  I don't know why she's
looking so depressed- on our way to M-Fuge!  But, you
can never know.  Marti is the sweetest of the whole
group!  Selena is riding shotgun.  A silent one but
she's very unique and interesting.  A big bad actress-
maybe a Natalie Wood- her fave actress- in the making-
I swear!  Then there's Ricky.  Preston's step-dad and
a terrible driver!  Kinda.  I don't exactly want to
say that.  Let's just wait and see how bad this gets.
Well, if he comes close to killing us more than twice
let's put that name on him!  I'm wasting good talking
time but we're pretty much sick of each other
already!  Talk later.

PRESTON
Hey, Ricky, how much longer?

RICKY
A long time.
(Picks up the CB radio)
Rick, are we there yet?

CUT TO:
 INT. RICK's VAN - LATE DAY

RICK
Ricky, are we getting impatient?

RICKY over CB
No.

RICK
5 more hours.

CUT TO:

INT. RICKY's VAN- - LATE DAY

RICKY
5 mo...


PRESTON
I can hear!

BRITNEY
I'm going to sleep!  That means laying on you to get
comfortable!!  If you take that personally- just take
a look at Eddie!

PRESTON
I get it!

BRITNEY
Thank you.

She situates herself then leans on PRESTON's shoulder.  Soon BRITNEY, PRESTON fall asleep.

SONNY
Hey Britney...

EDDIE
She's asleep, you insensitive...

SONNY
No need for expletives!

SHELLY pokes her head up suddenly.

SHELLY
No need for.... Expletives?

SONNY
Repeat!

SHELLY
Who said you could start saying that?

SONNY
The First Amendment.

SHELLY
What are you doin'?  All historical!

SONNY
She can't be sleeping in that position.

We see the back of BRITNEY and PRESTON's heads.

EDDIE
She's asleep.

FADE TO:

INT. RICKY's VAN - LATE DAY

A few hours later.  Everyone is awake now and involved
in a game of Truth or Dare while stuck in a traffic
jam.

BRITNEY
Do we have to play truth or dare?

SELENA
Nah- how about... Car games!!

SHELLY
That'd be so much better.
(Looks over at SONNY)
Should I do it now?

SONNY
Now or never!

SHELLY
Britney!  One time.  

BRITNEY
Once- that's it!

SHELLY
Truth or Dare?

BRITNEY
Uh.... dare.

SHELLY
Kiss Preston, I want to see if...

BRITNEY
No!

PRESTON
See if what?

SHELLY
If its all still there... more than just comfortable sleep!

BRITNEY
Oh, suck it!!  If I kiss Preston, you gotta kiss Eddie!

SHELLY
Big deal.

She leans onto EDDIE and kisses him.

BRITNEY
Shoot, girl! 

PRESTON
Don't make it an issue!

BRITNEY
Fine!

We see BRITNEY kiss PRESTON.  When the kiss is over
BRITNEY looks up at SHELLY and smiles like she knows
she's done the right thing, PRESTON looks at BRITNEY
lovingly, and knows that the kiss was real.

SELENA
Car games?

MARTI
Yeah!

SELENA picks up the CB.

SELENA
Rick, I think it's time for car games.

RICK
Ok.  Which one?

SELENA
I don't know.  Bea you got any suggestions?

BEA
The Celebrity Name Game?

SELENA
Okay- we'll start.

SONNY
John Travolta.

SELENA
Yeah, Sonny!!  John Travolta!

RICK
Tim Curry.

BEA
Cheryl Ladd.

BRITNEY
Leif Garrett!!

SELENA
Are you still stuck on him?

BRITNEY
Of course!!  He's so sexy!

SELENA
He's so chubby!

BRITNEY
I like chubby guys thank you very much!  Say it anyway.

SELENA
Since when.

BRITNEY
Since I saw Leif.  Say it!

SELENA
Fine!  Leif Garrett.

RICK
God.

BEA
You can't say God.  He doesn't have a last name!

RICK
Fine.  Great God Almighty.

BEA
You can't say that either.

RICK
Isn't God famous.  

BEA
Yes.

RICK
Okay- now A!

BEA
All right.  I don't want you to get into those "Why?" discussions again.  Andy Gibb.

SELENA
Greg Brady.

RICK
Bette Midler.

BEA
Mac Davis

SELENA
Donny Osmond.

RICK
Olivia Newton John.


BEA
Is that an N or a J?

RICK
J.

BEA
Ok- Jane Fonda.

Rick, Bea, and Selena continue to name celebs as we:

FADE TO:

EXT. AERIAL: VAN STUCK IN HEAVY TRAFFIC - LATE DAY
CUT TO:

INT. VAN - LATER DAY

We hear You Make My Dreams come on the radio.

SHELLY
This is my song!

BRITNEY
Every song is your song!

SHELLY
Shut up...

We hear YOU MAKE MY DREAMS as we see a series of shots of other cars stuck in the traffic jam.  

ONE: We see a red car with a broke windshield, a
yelling male in the driver's seat, a crying female in
the passenger seat, and a toddler in the back seat.

TWO: We see a grey sedan with a grandfather figure in
the driver's seat, a grandmother figure in the
passenger seat, and two teenage grandchildren, and a
10 year old grandchild in the back seat.

THREE: A large bus full of kids.  They hold a sign
that is unreadable up against the tinted glass.

MARTI
What's that say??

EDDIE
What?  The sign?

SHELLY
Aww.. They're trying to communicate.  Maybe they're going to M-Fuge too.

BRITNEY
I wish I could read the sign.

SHELLY
Well, they shoulda known better- everyone knows you can't see through tinted glass!

SONNY
Shut up, Shelly!  You're an idiot!

SHELLY
No I'm not!!  But for real- you can't see through it...

SONNY
Then how'd we know they were holding up a sign to begin with???

SHELLY
Well... you can't...

SONNY
Shut up- you're wrong!

BRITNEY
Does anyone have an 8-track player?

CHRIS
Nope- dont' you have yours?

BRITNEY
Nope- left it at home.

CHRIS
Oh.  Damn!

SHELLY
Britney... and Preston- you two are smart!  Can you see trough tinted windows?

PRESTON
Yes!  Of course you can!

EDDIE
Go to sleep, it's good for you.

MARTI
Nice, if somebody could!!  Turn the radio down!

SELENA
Sorry, Marti!

She turns the radio down.

MARTI
Thanks, Sel.

BRITNEY
How much longer?

SELENA
Here.

She picks up the CB and hands it to BRITNEY.

BRITNEY
Hey, Rick, are you going to get us all lost, kill us all, or get us there on time?

RICK over CB
Most likely get us all lost.

BRITNEY
How much longer?

RICK
With this traffic we'll probably get there about three hours off schedule.

BRITNEY
Okay, thanks for the bad news!

RICK
My pleasure.  Over and out!

BRITNEY
Ok.

She puts the CB down and rummages through her bag and
pulls out the same journal as PRESTON leans over to
see what she's writing.

BRITNEY V/O
I just kissed Preston!  What's going on?  This is not
happening the way I wanted it to!  That is not too
good!  I mean it's almost boring!!  He's a pretty good
kisser though.  I gotta get off of that!  He sucks!  I
hate him!!  What am I talking about?  I don't hate
anybody.  Especially people who can kiss like that!!
If I fall for this kid....  I mean there wasn't that
much pressure.  A very soft kiss... no tongue!  Ohh...
I might be!  Again?  I can't do it again! :) TL!

BRITNEY turns to PRESTON as she closes her journal and realizes he's read the whole thing.

BRITNEY
Oh my gosh, you're dead!  Okay?

PRESTON puts his arm around her.

PRESTON
Go to sleep.  It's good for you!

BRITNEY lays on his shoulder.  Soon they both fall asleep again.

CUT TO:

INT. VAN - LATE DAY

Hours later still stuck in the traffic jam.  Everyone
is awake and they all look a little too bored.

SELENA
All of ya'll seen Little Darlings?

MARTI
Unfortunately.

PRESTON
Shut up... It was a good movie.

BRITNEY
Only cause Tatum O'Neal and Kristy McNichol were in it.

SELENA
Excuse me!

PRESTON
Sorry.

SELENA
I liked the bet bit of it.  You girls up to it?

SHELLY
Up to what?  Losing my virginity at a church camp?

SELENA
Oh.  I didn't think of it that way.  Ok- then how
about just going out with- or kissing some guy.

SHELLY
The kissing part I'd do.

MARTI
Yeah- I would too.

BRITNEY
Sure.  Slutty lips.  My favorite thing in the world!

SELENA
I'm serious.  I'll take a pool.  Britney versus Marti
versus Shelly.  By the end of this week you have to
meet someone new and kiss them.  You have to spill
about it too.  Fellas up to the bet?

NATHAN
Ok.

BERT
I'm in.

CHRIS
Me too.

PRESTON
Yeah.

EDDIE
I will.

SELENA
Ok- settled.

SHELLY
Sel, why aren't you in this thing?

SELENA
You want me to explain the whole thing?  All right... I will.  I hate men! 

She starts singing I Hate Men from Kiss Me, Kate.  I'd put the lyrics if I knew them...

SELENA picks up the CB.

SELENA
How much longer, Rick?

RICK
I don't have a clue right now.

SELENA
Okay.  Over and out.

BRITNEY
You're gonna be the first one married- you know it!

SELENA
Sure I know it.  Let's take the beginning pool thing now.  Nate?

NATHAN
I'm with Marti.

SELENA
Bert?

BERT
Shelly-Belly.

SHELLY
Oh!  That's my man!

SELENA
Sonny?

SONNY
Marti.

SELENA
Eddie?

EDDIE
Britney.

BRITNEY
Finally!

SELENA
Preston?

PRESTON
Shelly-Belly.

BRITNEY
I thought you loved me?

PRESTON
I do.  I'm the only guy you're gonna be kissing this week.

BRITNEY
Sure.

SELENA
Chris?

CHRIS
Britney.

SELENA
Peachy keen, jelly beans!

CUT TO:

INT. VAN - LATE DAY

About an hour later.  BRITNEY is asleep in PRESTON'sl
ap who is awake and just trying to let time pass as
quickly as possible.

PRESTON V/O
She's so damn hot I don't know what I'm gonna do.  Why
can't everybody just go to sleep and why the hell does
Ricky have to be here- I'll never finish this!

We see NATE trying to get conmy in the back.

NATHAN
You got room Shelly-Belly?

SHELLY
What is your itch today?

NATHAN
What'd I say?

MARTI
You know what she means!

NATHAN
No, I really don't.

SHELLY
You have just been acting like a freaking jerk this whole time!

NATHAN
I have not!

SHELLY
Oh, what is so wrong with what happened with me and Eddie, huh?

NATHAN
What makes you think that is bothering me?

SHELLY
That is the only thing that would be.

BRITNEY wakes up to NATHAN and SHELLY argueing:

BRITNEY
Shut up!  Solve this later- I'm trying to sleep!

NATHAN, SHELLY
Sorry.

SHELLY
You know it is.

NATHAN
It's not.

MARTI
Pick it up when we get there!

BRITNEY sits up.

CUT TO:

INT. VAN - MINUTES LATER

Outside the window we see a Mercedes-Benz dearship.

SONNY
Oh my gosh Shelly, It's...

SHELLY
Mercedes... uh huh!

BRITNEY
Kick it through this traffic, please! 

SHELLY
Look how pretty that is!  It all matches!  See, three lines and a circle.

PRESTON
What?

SHELLY
It's as easy as three lines and a circle.

CHRIS
What is?

SHELLY
The Mercedes sign.

BRITNEY
I'm buying everybody a car someday- You'll finally get one!

SHELLY
Look at that house!  Is that a house?

EDDIE
No!

SHELLY
Still.  I'm living in that house.

EDDIE
It's not a house.

SHELLY
I'm making it into a house!  Right next to my baby!

BRITNEY
Mercedes is your baby?

SHELLY
Yeah!

BRITNEY
Since when?

SHELLY
Since I got pregnant with it- now leave me alone while I gaze upon this masterpiece.

BRITNEY
Okay.

SONNY
Right...

PRESTON
Yes....

SONNY, PRESTON, BRITNEY
No....

SHELLY
Ya'll are so damn screwed up.

MARTI
Shelly!!

PRESTON
Yes....

BRITNEY, SONNY, PRESTON
No....

SHELLY
Shut up!

EDDIE
Yo, Shelly, we're passing it.

SHELLY
Somebody take a picture of it!

BRITNEY gets her camera out of her bag. 

BRITNEY
Here, Shelly, do it before we pass and you miss the whole wonderful thing.

SHELLY takes the camera, leans across EDDIE and SONNY and takes the picture.

SONNY
Of course it won't come out because its tinted...

SHELLY
No!  Stop I gotta get out and take another one!

BRITNEY
No, sorry, babe, you aren't wasting my film! 

EDDIE
Besides you CAN see through tinted stuff.

SHELLY
No you can't!

EDDIE
Then how did you see the Mercedes?

SHELLY
Shut up, you know what I mean!

SONNY
You are such a ditz, Shelly.

SHELLY
I am not a ditz!

PRESTON, BRITNEY, CHRIS, SELENA turn around and laugh at SHELLY.

PRESTON
Notice how everyone in the van heard that.

BRITNEY
Really?

PRESTON
Yeah.

BRITNEY
Sleep, it's good for you!

BRITNEY puts her arm around Preston.  Note: the next
conversation between BRITNEY and PRESTON is very
flirty.

PRESTON
Sure it is.

BRITNEY
Would I lie to you?

PRESTON
Yes.

BRITNEY
No I wouldn't, retard!

PRESTON
Why not?

BRITNEY
You're my best friend!

PRESTON
Yeah.

BRITNEY
You are!

PRESTON
And you love me!

BRITNEY
No... Uh.. I don't know- don't ask me questions like that!

PRESTON
I told you I loved you- what do you have to say?  "I hate you!"  "You don't love me!"

BRITNEY
Preston.

PRESTON
What?

BRITNEY
Maybe I do love you.  It's just not the same kind of love.

PRESTON
Yeah.  Do you want to win that bet?

BRITNEY
Sure.

SELENA
It has to be somebody new and you can't start till we've been there at least 5 minutes!

PRESTON
Who cares?

We see PRESTON pull BRITNEY to him and kiss her.
Everyone in the van except NATHAN notices and turns to
them.  We see RICKY looks in the mirror and see them.

NATHAN
Did anybody bring their skates?

SHELLY
Shh...

NATHAN
What?

He looks up and notices BRITNEY and PRESTON.

MARTI to SHELLY
Get the camera...

SHELLY reaches down to Britney's bag when- The kiss
suddenly breaks.  There is a moment of silence.
BRITNEY and PRESTON look at each other but neither of
them know what to think of what just happened.

BRITNEY
I did!

PRESTON
What?

BRITNEY
Nate, I brought my skates.

NATHAN
Oh.  Right on, gurl!

SHELLY
Me too.

MARTI
So did I.

NATHAN
That's awesome.

BRITNEY
Let's just say this week is going to be Xanadu in real life.

PRESTON looks at BRITNEY and rolls his eyes.

PRESTON V/O
How can she not comment on that at all?  I love her!  She changes the subject...

BERT
Hey, what day is it?

CHRIS
You don't know what day it is?

MARTI
M-Fuge!!

SONNY
Trip to Nashville, day one.  I'm here with Blondie,
Roller Derby Boy, Beefcake, Kristy McNichol, Leif
Garrett, John Travolta, Kira, Macho Woman, God and
Andy Gibb.  It's July 12, 1980.

BRITNEY
What's the deal with Kristy McNichol?

PRESTON
Do you really want me to get into this?

He pulls out an 8X10 autographed pic of Kristy McNichol and Tatum O'Neal.

BRITNEY
No.

PRESTON
Okay, Kristy and Tatum autographed this for me.  Little Darlings is the best!

BRITNEY
Yeah, yeah, yeah- at the premiere this past May!  I've
heard this ten billion times!  I've got my own prize!

PRESTON
Not the Leif autograph!  Britney!!

BRITNEY Pulls out an 8X10 autographed pic of Leif Garrett.

BRITNEY
This is what I live for!

She kisses the picture.

PRESTON
I could do that.

He fluffs his hair, crosses his arms across his chest,
unbuttons his shirt, pushes his stomach out, and pouts.

BRITNEY
You are dead, ass hole!

MARTI
BRITNEY!!!

SHELLY slaps BRITNEY.

BRITNEY
Thank you.

SHELLY
No problem.

BRITNEY
I don't get this... 
(Pokes PRESTON's stomach in)
Why does everybody think Leif is chubby?

PRESTON
It's cuz he is!

BRITNEY
You're the chubby one!

PRESTON
Stop it!  I am not chubby!

BRITNEY
Oh really.  What is that, a pillow?

PRESTON
You bitch...

He grabs BRITNEY's stomach and starts to tickle her.

BRITNEY
Stop it!  Get your hands off of me!  

She laughs and hits PRESTON in the head and tries to pulls his arms off of her.

PRESTON
Ok, I'll stop.

BRITNEY
Thank you.

The both laugh some more.

BRITNEY
Now you're gonna want me to fall asleep all over you
again.  It's not gonna happen!  Believe me, Preston! 
I don't love you!  OK- I said it- 
(Whispers)
I don't fucking love you!

CUT TO:

EXT. VAN - NIGHT

We see the van driving in Bristol, TN before going to the Econo Lodge.

CUT TO:

INT. VAN - NIGHT

We see BRITNEY and SELENA talking:

BRITNEY
A night here, then onto fun, finally!

SELENA
You haven't had any fun?

BRITNEY
I've been arguing with Preston this entire time and
I'm already depressed.  As soon as I get there I'm
taking my medicine.

SELENA
Is this some prescription drug that your precious Leif
is going to overdose on in the next few months as he
realizes his teen idol days are slowly disintegrating
into the wide open abyss?

BRITNEY
No, it's herbal stuff.

SELENA
Goodness girl, are you stuck in the 60s?!  It's probably worse than prescription drugs!

BRITNEY
Saint John's Wort- don't mock the name- it works!  I
just didn't take any this morning- and now once I take
it I'm gonna think I don't need it!  That's what's bad
about it- it wears off.

SELENA
Oh, let's just see.

CUT TO:

EXT. VAN - NIGHT

We see the van pulling into the parking lot of the Econo Lodge.

CUT TO:

EXT. ECONO LODGE - NIGHT

We see everybody getting out of the three vans outside the Econo Lodge.

BRITNEY
I can't walk for my life right now!

PRESTON
Get out!

BRITNEY
I can't...

PRESTON
If you don't get out, damn it, I'm gonna push you out onto the ground!

BRITNEY
You wouldn't do that!  You love me too much!

She gets out of the van.

PRESTON
And take your infinite amount of bags with you!

BRITNEY
You can help me, can't you?

We see SHELLY knock on the window of the van door.

SHELLY
HELP!

BRITNEY
Oh.

BRITNEY opens the second part of the door.  SHELLY,
EDDIE, and SONNY fall out onto the ground because they
were pushing on the door and they all start laughing.

BRITNEY
I'm so sorry!

Everybody continues to laugh.  PRESTON hands BRITNEY
her bags- which she drops in the parking lot as she
stretches.

SHELLY
That's all right.

SHELLY stands as SELENA gets out of the front seat.

BRITNEY
Hey Sel?

SELENA
Huh?

BRITNEY
Balcony.

SELENA
Where?

BRITNEY
Come on!

They laugh and run off.  SELENA goes up the stairs
onto the balcony.  BRITNEY stays down but moves over
so she's looking up at SELENA.

BRITNEY
Why am I the guy?  The hair?  Yeah.  Nevermind.

SELENA
Ready?

BRITNEY nods as she turns and acts like she's running away.

SELENA
Tony!

BRITNEY turns to face her.

SELENA
What does Tony stand for?

BRITNEY
Antone.

SELENA
Te adoro, Antone. 

BRITNEY
Te adoro, Maria.

BOTH (singing)
For here you are.  And what was just a world is a
star.  Tonight.  Tonight, tonight.  The world is full
of light.  With suns and moons all over the place.
Tonight, tonight.  The world is wild and bright.
Going mad.  Shooting sparks into space.  Today, the
world was just an address.  A place for me to live
in.  No better than all right.  But here you are.  And
what was just a world is a star.  Tonight.  Good
night, good night.  Sleep well and when you dream.
Dream of me.  Tonight.

BRITNEY climbs up the stairs to SELENA and they hug.

CUT TO:

EXT. ECONO LODGE IN FRONT OF ROOM DOOR - LATER THAT NIGHT

We see the girls about to unlock their hotel room door.

MARTI
Ya'll ready?

She opens the door and the girls step into the room.  SHELLY runs.

SHELLY
Let me in!  I'm going....

CUT TO:

INT. HOTEL ROOM - NIGHT  

MARTI
Oh my god!  What's that smell?

SHELLY
It smells like piss in here!  I can't sleep in a room that smells like piss!

MARTI starts to walk around the room and comes to the air conditioner.

MARTI
It's coming from the air conditioner!  Come here...

SHELLY walks over to the air conditioner.

SHELLY
Oh!  Turn it off!

MARTI turns off the air conditioner then continues to
walk around the room as SELENA, SHELLY, and BRITNEY
get settled.  She walks into the bathroom, turns on
the TV, and turns on all the lights.

Charlie's Angels comes on TV following a commercial.

SHELLY
This is my show!  I'm gonna get ready for bed.

BRITNEY
No need to announce it!

SELENA
I get first shower tomorrow!

SHELLY
Nah, nah!  I get first shower!

SELENA
I called it.

BRITNEY
I get up earlier than any of ya'll!  I get first. 

MARTI
I don't care.  I'm sleeping in!

SHELLY
For real!

We see BRITNEY get her medicine out of her bag.

BRITNEY
Can somebody get me some water?

MARTI
Sure, honey.

MARTI goes to the sink and gets some water, then
brings it to BRITNEY.  BRITNEY takes the glass of
water.

BRITNEY
Thanks.
(Swallows the pill)
Uhh...  The water tastes like piss too!

MARTI laughs.

MARTI
Are you okay?

BRITNEY
Oh yeah!  Preston's just put my panties in a twist!

MARTI
Knock him out!  If he says anything that hurts you or
sets you the wrong way just bitch slap him!

BRITNEY
I'll remember that.

She laughs.

CUT TO:

We see the girls later that night.  They are all in
bed but the TV is still on with SHELLY watching the
end of Charlie's Angels.

SHELLY
Ok- I've watched this show for the longest time!  Who in hell is Charlie?

BRITNEY
The angels' boss, smart one.

SHELLY
I know, but what does he look like?

BRITNEY
Who cares- it's TV!  Promise me that as soon as this
is over you'll turn it off and let us sleep!

SHELLY
I don't want to sleep.

BRITNEY
I was referring to the three of us who are sane!

SHELLY
Shut up!

CUT TO:

Later- SHELLY is still up, the TV is still on- now halfway through Dukes of Hazard.

FADE OFF

CUT TO:

EXT. PARKING LOT AT BELMONT - DAY

Belmont University parking lot outside the Wright dorm
building.  The church vans are lined up near an
athletic field and 1/4 mile track.

BRITNEY
Oh, lordy.  We're finally here.  Nathan, wanna go skate?

NATHAN
Sure.

CUT TO:

EXT. TRACK - DAY

skating around the track to Ready For the 80s by the
Village People.  At a certain good, pose point for
each of those people- ultra retro text comes up at the
bottom of the screen with their name.  They continue
to skate to the end of the song.

CUT TO:
INT. MARTI, SHELLY's ROOM - DAY

We see MARTI and SHELLY unpacking clothes and settling in their room.

MARTI
What threads are you modeling tonight?

SHELLY
The wrap skirt, platforms, Britney's corset, and I'm feathering my hair.  Cool, huh?

MARTI
Totally.

SHELLY
Wear Britney's beads and the polyester suit.  That'll be good.

MARTI
All right.

We see BRITNEY and SELENA bust into the room.  Stayin'
Alive plays in the background as they enter.

BRITNEY
Disco, baby!  The day that'll never set!  Come on
mamas, let's boogie them asses into jolt movement and
get to the rad parade before I go outta style.

SELENA
Come on birds, let's flock outta here!

CLOSE SHOT- BRITNEY, SELENA's BACKS- ZOOM OUT- BRITNEY, SELENA's BACK IN FELLOWSHIP ROOM.

INT. FELLOWSHIP ROOM - DAY

We see PRESTON walk up to BRITNEY.

PRESTON
Hey chick.

BRITNEY
Hey, yourself.  What do you want?

PRESTON
I'm sorry.

BRITNEY
For what?

PRESTON
I still love you.

BRITNEY
I thought we already went over this?  I don't want to hear it!

PRESTON
I need you to hear it!  Why can't you understand?

BRITNEY
Because... You're pushing it on me too hard.  It's
very difficult for me right now to have someone say
that to me.  Do you understand that?

PRESTON
Britney!

BRITNEY
What?

PRESTON
What do I have to do to make you know that I love you and for you to love me back!

BRITNEY
Nothing.  You can't do anything but be yourself and stop pushing on me this entire week.

PRESTON
Now I feel better.  Thanks, Brit.

BRITNEY
You're welcome.  Me too.  It's so good that we can work this crap out!

PRESTON
So, you love me?

BRITNEY
Yes!  You are my best friend, Preston.

PRESTON
Damn it Britney!  That's not what I meant.

BRITNEY
Oh...  That's exactly what I mean.  Now let the party go on.  This is the 54 Jesus approves of.  You can't dismay that!  Come on, Sel, boogie with me!

We hear the SONG: "I Was Made For Dancin'"

BRITNEY
Oh my gosh!  This is my song!!!  You kept we rolling
like a wheel on a road, turnin' round and round-
nowhere to go!  I was made for dancin' all, all, all
night long!  I'm so glad I've met Leif.  I mean he
could be off the face of the earth tomorrow!

SELENA
Get over it.

BRITNEY
You'll meet John some day, I promise you!  I'll
introduce you two at a movie premiere or something
cool like that!

SELENA
Okay, I'll keep you to that promise!

BRITNEY
Okay.

BRITNEY looks around, sings, and continues to dance.
Notices TIM- dancing in the background with some of
his friends.

BRITNEY
I'm gonna meet him again!!

SELENA
What?

BRITNEY
Leif is here!  Look.

SELENA looks at TIM, who is a dead twin of Leif Garrett but not Leif himself.

SELENA
Oh!  That's a hot Leif Garrett.

BRITNEY
Impure thoughts!  Lord forgive me for I have sinned!!

SELENA
Oh, shut up!

BRITNEY
I gotta go talk to him!

SELENA
I'm coming with you!

They start walking but as they get closer BRITNEY stops.

BRITNEY
It's not Leif.  But, isn't he as groovy and yummy as Leif.

SELENA
Leif's a chubby little teen heart-throb.

BRITNEY
Okay, you describe him.

SELENA
Leif is as yummy as...

BERT
Yummy as salt.

SELENA
Salt?

EDDIE
Yeah, salt.  The food of the 80s, very healthy and very yummy!

EDDIE, BERT
Yummy in your tummy.

BRITNEY
Okay!

We hear THE HUSTLE fade in.

BRITNEY
Oh!  You gotta slide with me!  How bout it Bert?

BERT
No.

BRITNEY
Okay, I'm asking the Leif clone over here

We see BRITNEY as she approaches TIM.  He turns toward her.

BRITNEY
Wanna slide with me?

TIM
Sure.

BRITNEY
Do you know how?

TIM
No.

BRITNEY
No?  I'm asking somebody else!

TIM
Teach me.

BRITNEY
Sure.
(Takes his hands)
Just move with me.  Either do the opposite as me or
the same as me.  Forward to me.  Back.  To the side,
one more.  Turn, go to the front, the back.  Step to
the side.  Back, back.  Side, forward.  Turn to me.
Back, forward.  Do the Hustle!  Put your hands on my
hips.

We see TIM move his hands to her hips.

BRITNEY
Groove with it, papa!  To the side some more.
Forward, forward.  Walk to the side again.  Come back
to me, forward.  Keep it up!  Move with me.  Get the
finger in.

TIM
We Rock!

We hear THE HUSTLE fade out early.

BRITNEY
Yeah.

TIM moves in closer to BRITNEY and put his arm around her.

We see PRESTON walk up to BRITNEY and TIM and push TIM off of BRITNEY.

PRESTON
Lay off her!

BRITNEY
Preston!  Leave me alone!!  What did I tell you, huh!
You just have to give me time.  And you aren't
helping really! That's all I can say about it right
now.  I just wish- that for a second you could
understand that!  Now, if you don't have anything else
to say- go...

PRESTON looks hopelessly at BRITNEY then he turns and walks away.

We see BRITNEY turn to TIM.

TIM
Are you okay?  I'm sorry if I did anything.

BRITNEY
It's not you and I'm fine!  He's just being a jerk...
has since this trip started!  Preston.  By the way,
I'm Britney.

TIM
I'm Tim.  Nice to meet you.

BRITNEY
You too.  Has anyone ever told you that you look like Leif Garrett?

TIM
Every girl in the whole world has told me that!  Ever since he came on scene!

BRITNEY
I love him to death!  I've met him.  Big tour last year!

TIM
You saw his show?

BRITNEY
Yep.  Best time I've ever had!  Even though I was almost killed by some obsessed fans!

They start dancing again as ZOE, LILY dance up to them.

BRITNEY
Holas, chicas!

LILY
Move it on Planet Groove with us!

ZOE
Who's the Leif Garrett look alike, hottie here?

TIM
I'm Tim.

LILY
Groovy, baby, I'm Lily and this is Zoe!

ZOE
You're totally groovy in such a far out way!

TIM
Thanks!

They all continue to dance as we hear I WILL SURVIVE.  The dance floor clears.

BRITNEY 
At first I was afraid I was petrified
Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side;
But then I spent so many nights
Thinkin' how you did me wrong
And I grew strong
And I learned how to get along
And so you're back from outer space
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I'd've known for just one second you'd back to bother me
Go on now, go walk out the door
Just turn around now 'cause
You're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to crush me with goodbye
Did I crumble
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no, not I.   I will survive
Oh as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive;
I've got all my life to live,
I've got all my love to give and I'll survive,
I will survive.  I will survive!
It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
Kept trying' hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart,
And I spent oh so many nights
Just feeling sorry for myself. 
I used to cry
But now I hold my head up high
And you see me somebody new
I'm not that chained up little girl that's still in love with you,
And so you feel like droppin' in 
And just expect me to be free,
Now I'm savin' all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me
At first I was afraid I was petrified
Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side;
But then I spent so many nights
Thinkin' how you did me wrong
And I grew strong
And I learned how to get along
And so you're back from outer space
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock
I should have made you leave your key
If I'd've known for just one second you'd back to bother me
Go on now, go walk out the door
Just turn around now 'cause
You're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye
Did you think I'd crumble
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no, not I.   I will survive
Oh as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive;
I've got all my life to live,
I've got all my love to give and I'll survive,
I will survive.  I will survive!  I will survive!

The crowd breaks into applause as PRESTON walks through the crowd to BRITNEY.

BRITNEY
Got anything to say?



PRESTON
Nope.  I'd be repeating myself for the millionth time!

BRITNEY
You're right!  I don't want to hear it!

PRESTON
I...

BRITNEY
...don't want to hear it!!!

SHELLY
What is going on with you two?

BRITNEY
Nothing.  We're cool.  We love each other with all our hearts!

SHELLY
Then why...

BRITNEY
I hate his attitude right now!  I wish he'd die.
(Beat)
I shouldn't have said that.  It was wrong.

MARTI
We'll beat his ass for you later!

BRITNEY
Oh, hey, this is Tim.  Tim that's Marti, Shelly, and Selena.

SELENA
Hey!  He's cute...

BRITNEY
Yep.

MARTI
Hi.

SHELLY
Call me Shelly-Belly.

BRITNEY
When are you gonna get off that?  

TIM
Shelly-Belly?  Okay.
 
MARTI
Right... Let's go sit down.

SELENA
Ok.  Where?

SHELLY
Here.

TIM, SHELLY, MARTI, BRITNEY, SELENA sit down.

MARTI
Tim, where are you from?

TIM
Ohio.

BRITNEY
Everyone is from Ohio.  One I'm not gonna mention!

SHELLY
He was a jerky 11 year old wasn't he?

BRITNEY
Excuse you, but he was 14!  I know- I went out with him!

TIM
Preston's from Ohio?

BRITNEY
Oh, hell no!  I'm talking about a guy I met last year at camp- Stuart.

MARTI
We're from Virginia.

SELENA
Itsy, bitsy,

BRITNEY
Rinky dink,

SHELLY
teeney, weeny,

MARTI
Little hell hole

GIRLS
Under nothing but air!

BRITNEY
Nothing's there but a fire department and a can of worms.

SELENA
It's so pathetic!

MARTI
Are you from the city?

TIM
Cincinatti.

BRITNEY laughs hysterically.

SHELLY
Oh Lord!

SELENA
Excuse them!

TIM
What's wrong?

SHELLY
How old are you?

TIM
16.

BRITNEY
Do you know Stuart Jones?

TIM
Yeah- is that him?

BRITNEY
Yep.

TIM
Why'd you go out with him?  He is such a fucking pimp!

They all start laughing.

BRITNEY
I ask myself that a lot now.

SELENA
The same problem with Preston.

BRITNEY
Exactly.

They all continue to laugh as:

We see the STAFF gets up on stage.  The STAFF MEMBERS
we're concentrating on are: MIKE, JASON, BEN, TEX,
TED, and ANNE.  The crowd slowly grows more quiet.
TED approached the mike as the rest of the STAFF
huddle.

TED
Don't be quite or anything- we were just gonna watch
you and stuff like that.
(beat)
But seriously.  My name is Ted.

ALL
Hi Ted!!

TED
Oh!  I just feel so welcome now!!  Thanks!  Well,
you've probably figured out that I'm stalling because
the rest of the featurted staff doesn't know how to
begin!

MIKE
Ya'll ready?  OK- break on three!  1, 2, 3...

STAFF
Break!

TED
All right... I'll step aside now.

TED steps back and MIKE goes to the mike.

MIKE
Hello.  I'm Mike Davis.  I'm going to be the worship
leader.  I'm your pastor for the next week.

ALL
Hi Mike!!

MIKE
Well, this is fellowship and all but I'm gonna start
us out with a prayer if you don't mind and then Jason
is gonna take over with music.

JASON steps to the mike.

JASON
I'm Jason.

ALL
Hi Jason!

He steps back with the rest of the staff.

MIKE
Ok.  Let's bow our heads and spend a minute with God.

We see everyone in the room bow their heads.

MIKE
Hear us, O God in this time of fellowship.  Remind us
all to put you first at all times this week.  Whether
we be in our dorms, at our site to work, or in
freetime walking around this city of Nashville.  Help
us to put aside affairs of the heart and problems that
we've been facing.  We need your guidance this week as
we are led down a new spiritual path.  Renew our souls
this week.  Please God.  In your name we will always
pray, Amen.

We hear a few "Amens" muttered throughout the audience.

MIKE
The music that you will be hearing this week is
spirtiual music... but it is very upbeat and it's not
like the gospel music of your parents days.  Leading
the music will be Jason.  You may have seen him
before.  He has an album out entiltled "Living".

We hear MIKE explaining the music as:

JASON steps back stage and we see a person off stage
hand him a guitar.  He sets up a mike and a stool on
the opposite side of the stage as MIKE.

JASON
Pick up a copy if you see it anyway- It'd be very much
appreciated!

MIKE
What song are you gonna start with?

JASON
"Every Move I Make".  It's very upbeat.  Everyone
stand up... Ok here are the words.. they aren't hard.

He starts playing guitar.

JASON (singing)
Every move I make, I make in You
You make me move, Jesus
Every breath I take, I breathe in You
Every step I take, I take in You
You are my way, Jesus.
Every breath I take, I breathe in You.
(beat)
Now you repeat that once more.  Ok... that's the first
part.  Try to sing it with me this time.

JASON plays the first part of the song again and he,
the staff, and most audience members sing it.

JASON
Good.  Now here's the next part.

He starts playing the guitar again.

JASON (singing)
Waves of mercy, waves of grace
Everywhere I look, I see Your face
Your love has captured me
O, my God, this love how can it be.
(beat)
Ok?  Got it?  Now lets sing both parts together...

JASON plays the first and second parts of this song
and he, the staff, and the audience sing it.

JASON
Ya'll are great!  Very fast learners.  Next we repeat
the first part only once... then do a "na na na na na
na na"  then repeat the second part twice.  I'll teach
you the "nas" when we get there... not hard.  But
after the second time we go back to "na na na na na na
na".  Well- it's all pretty repetitious.  Let me just
sing the whole thing for ya.  If you know the song
feel free to sing along.

ASON plays guitar and along with the featured staff
and a few audience members sing the song.

JASON
Now- let's all go through the whole thing.

We hear everyone sing the song perfectly.  Then everyone cheers.

JASON
Ya'll are awesome!!  If ya'll are that quick... well I
have one more song and we'll just all sing the whole
thing until we get it, all right?

JASON starts playing guitar to "You Are My God"

JASON
This a mellow one- that you have probably heard.  It's
called "You Are My God".

ALL
As long as the rivers flows, as long as the wind blows
My heart belongs to You
As long as seasons change, as long as the farmer needs the rain
My heart belongs to You
Lord I know I don't deserve the grace You give
So I will give my heart to You that I might live
You are my God, early in the morning will I
Rise to meet You, Rise to meet You
You are my Lord, early in the morning will I
Rise to meet You, Rise to meet You
As long as babies cry, as long as flowers die
My heart belongs to You
As long as winter brings the cold, as long as the summers come and go
My heart belongs to You
Lord I know I don't deserve the grace You give
So I will give my heart to that I might live
You are my God, early in the morning will I
Rise to meet You, Rise to meet You
You are my Lord, early in the morning will I
Rise to meet You, Rise to meet You
You are my God, early in the morning I will
Rise to meet You, Rise to meet You
You are my Lord, early in the morning I will
Rise to meet You, Rise to meet You

TED
Ya'll were SO OFF KEY!!!  I don't believe you!!

CUT TO:

INT. FELLOWSHIP ROOM - 10 or 15 MINUTES LATER

We see TIM and BRITNEY stand up.  They walk a little ways ahead of the other GIRLS and they stop.

TIM
Do you want to go somewhere?

BRITNEY
Me?  Sure.

TIM
Ok.

CUT TO:

EXT. BELMONT CAMPUS - EVENING

We see TIM and BRITNEY walking on an outside part of Belmont campus away from main buildings.

BRITNEY
So, you know my buddy Stuart Jones?

TIM
Yep.  I don't believe you went out with him.

BRITNEY
Well, I was young and retarded!

TIM
That explains it!

BRITNEY
I wonder where the recording studios are around here?

TIM
I don't know.  But it's all country music.

BRITNEY
That's what I sing.  Either that or Jazz and Blues-
can't sing anything else cause of my strong verbrato
and I slide like hell!  I have a four octave range
too.  But- not now.  I have to condition it.

TIM
Really?  Wow.

BRITNEY
That was my speech when I auditioned for choir at school- I made it but I had to clarify it.

TIM
That's cool.  You wanna go find one?

BRITNEY
What?  A recording studio?

TIM
Yeah.  Make an arrangement for a recording session.

BRITNEY
No!

TIM
Why not?  You know how to sing.

BRITNEY
Yeah but I'm gonna be busy and I don't have the money.

TIM pulls a stack of twenty dollar bills out of his pocket.

TIM
I have the money!

BRITNEY
You sure do.  I wonder if I could do it now.

TIM
I dunno.

CUT TO:

INT. RECORDING BOOTH - EVENING

We see BRITNEY inside a recording booth.  TIM is sitting outside watching her.

BRITNEY(singing)
Crazy.  I'm crazy for feeling so lonely.
I'm crazy.  Crazy for feeling so blue.
I knew you'd love as long as you wanted.
And then someday
You'd leave me for somebody new.
Worry.  Why do I let myself worry?
Wondering what in the world did I do?
Oh.  Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you.
I'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying
And I'm crazy for loving you.
Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you.
I'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying
And I'm crazy for loving you.

CUT TO:

EXT. OUTSIDE RECORDING STUDIO - EVENING

TIM and BRITNEY walking out of the recording studio.

BRITNEY
I have a demo tape now!  Wow!  Thank you.

She wraps her arms around TIM and kisses his cheek.

TIM
No problem.

BRITNEY
Don't you... uhh...  could...


TIM
Nah, I'm a really bad kisser.

BRITNEY
Try me.

TIM
OK.  Wait.

They stop walking.  TIM gets closer to BRITNEY and puts his hand on her face.

TIM
I can't!

BRITNEY
Why not?

TIM
You kiss me!

BRITNEY
Fine.

BRITNEY V/O
But then I don't win the bet!

BRITNEY raises her head to his and kisses him.

BRITNEY
Not bad.

TIM
Yeah.

CUT TO:

INT. CAFETERIA - MORNING

We see FBC Waynesboro eating breakfast the next morning in the cafeteria.

BRITNEY (laughing)
Ya'll are crazy beans!

SELENA
What cracked you?

BRITNEY
Horny ducks!
(Continues to laugh)
Rabid beatniks!  Horrific animals!  You're animals! Grrr...

MARTI
Britney!!

BRITNEY
Remind me never, ever, ever to drink coffee in the mornings!  Never ever again!!

MARTI
No problem!

RICK
Here are all the groups.

RICK holds a stack of neon colored cards with stamps and names on them.

RICK
Britney, baby.

He hands BRITNEY her card and as he hands out the rest of the cards:

BRITNEY
Butterfly!

RICK
Sel, Marti, Shelly, Hallie, Mary Beth, Mae, Nathan,
Preston, Bert, Angel, Gavin, Rosetta, Eddie, Tatum,

ANGEL
Britney, baby!  You a butterfly?

BRITNEY
Yeah!

ANGEL
Me too!

BRITNEY
All right!

SONNY comes up to the table, his arms full of mini cereal boxes.

SONNY
Hey!  They're giving away free cereal!  Free cereal,
man!  You gotta love them for that!  Here, have some
Cheerios!  Apple Jacks, anyone?  How about Frosted
Flakes, they're grrreat!  Corn Flakes- nah- those are
nasty!  Rice Krispees- Snap!  Crackle!  Pop!  No?  Are
you sure?  Nobody here wants free cereal?  Party
poopers!
(Throws all the cereal boxes in the air)
I'm not cleaning it up!

He runs out of the cafeteria.

CUT TO:

EXT. BARN COURTYARD - DAY

We see BRITNEY and ANGEL's track team sitting in a big circle.

BEN
Hi to all of you. I am Ben DeVan.  Head of the Taylor
family.  The Andy Griffith Show.  Now- we need some
kind of get to know you game.  I only know Lee.  What
we're gonna do is- we go around in a circle.  Outside
the chairs and just talk.  Explain who you are- what
you like to do, blah-di-blah-di-blah!

BRITNEY V/O
Boring, boring boring!  How'd I get stuck with this loser!

ZOE
I'm Zoe Harrington- I'm from Aberdeen Missippi.  I
know Howie and Lily.  I'm pretty boring. and I don't
really want to talk about me cause that's really
selfish.  You should always involve other people. 
But, oh well.  I'm 15.  Born in a tractor.  Fun
experience but I don't really remember.  I think Donny
Osmond is the best thing in the world!  Amen.

NALA
I'm Nala.  Great name.  Sounds like some lioness out
in hippie land!  Oh well, I was born to real hippies
in San Francisco.  The real Flower in their hair
people.  I live with my mom now.  She's still stuck in
the 60s I swear!  I never met my father.  He
supposedly died in the Viet "I love to eat shit" War!
But, knowing how completely out in space he was
through out the entire decade I firmly doubt it.  He
was more likely the only guy that died at Woodstock.
That is a crazy and evil thing to say about your
father but I don't know the man!  Everyone says you
gotta love your parents more than everyone but God.
God said it, didn't he?  Well, if you don't know
someone and they make up your body and who you are.
Something is screwed in that whole mix!  You don't
know God either but he made up everyone!  I just don't
understand the whole lot of it!  Oh, I love to sing, I
play Rugby, and I'm 15.

LILY
All right.  I'm Lily- From Aberdeen.  I'm 15.  What else can I say?  I like movies.

BEN
What's your favorite movie?

LILY
Little Darlings.

BRITNEY
What is it with that movie?  Everybody is obsessed
with that movie.  Loss of innocence- big deal! 
There's too much sex.  Nevermind.

LILY
You have a big point.

ANGEL
She writes movies.

BRITNEY
Thanks for bringing it up!

KIRSTEN
That's so cool!  What are they about?

CUT TO:

We are moving around the corner of the devotions
room.  We can hear RICK's VOICE indistinctly in the
background.  As we enter the room we see the youth
group sitting around the walls with their shoes off
and we hear RICK:

RICK
Tonight I just want you to get a partner- maybe
someone you don't know very well and would like to get
to know better.  And for everybody to put there shoes
back on!

Youth Group cheers and run to the corner and get their shoes.

RICK
Now- find a partner to pray.

BRITNEY sits behind DAVEY and looks around for a
potential candidate for her partner then looks in
front of her.

BRITNEY
Davey Jones!  Be my partner?

DAVEY
Sure, chica.

BRITNEY
Cool.

PRESTON looks at BRITNEY, who doesn't see him, and
DAVEY.  He then turns to CHRIS to be his partner.

DAVEY
Ok- You wanna go first?

BRITNEY
Not particularly but I will.

DAVEY
All right.

BRITNEY
I've already been crying so this is gonna be tearful.

DAVEY
I'm here for you, chica.

BRITNEY
I know!  

DAVEY
Ok...

BRITNEY
See... during worship tonight... well, it was really
touching and I was really moved by it's message.  You
know- God's your one true friend and He's the only one
who will be there for you from beginning to end.  Then
I thought about your parents being there with you for
that amount of time.  The I realized I had never met
my parents.  Well, I didn't realize it then- I just
thought about it for the rest of the service.  And
then- you know- I started crying.  I'm surprised I'm
not now.  That's good.  And I was sitting next to
Preston and he doesn't do anything to like help me! 
He doesn't put his arm around me or anything!  He's
had he's hands on my butt this week and he didn't even
comfort me when I needed it!  I just need to face the
facts.  He doesn't love me!  He loves my butt!  Today
in track this little girl named Princess was saved! 
It was so spiritually awakening for me!  I thought it
was amazing because someone her age was being saved! 
Now I want it to happen to me!  I learned about
stigmata when I was like 9!  I want that too now.  But
I've heard it hurts after a while.  But I think it
would just help me with my faith!  I've never been so
religious in my entire life!  I am so happy I came!
It's so amazing and now I'm thinking about my parents
again and I'm getting madder and madder at Preston! 
Now I'm crying!  This is real cool!

DAVEY
Oh- it's all right, gurl.

He hugs BRITNEY as she cries.


CUT TO:

EXT. CARPENTRY SITE - DAY

We see TEX, a tall, tan, very handsome, southern
college student carrying a very large tool box.  He
stops before a group of talking teenagers- which
includes SHELLY, SONNY, ALVIN, and a handsome new guy
ZACK, who's eyes periodically wander to SHELLY.

TEX
Ok... Everybody.  Let me tell you what you're gonna
have to do today.  Now don't think this is gonna be
easy - this is sweat work- carpentry and roofing.  But
I am going to let you work on what you want to... oK-
There's one thing I need to get outta the way...
There's only room for two people in the attic and it's
very hot and stuff up there.  Well, we're cleaning out
the stack of the chimney and relaying some bricks.  I
think it'd be best if two guys took this job but...

SHELLY, ZACK
I'll do it.

TEX
That makes it easy.  Shelly-Belly, are you sure you can handle it?

SHELLY
Oh yeah!

TEX
All right!  I'll get Anne to show you up.

SHELLY looks over at a very anxious looking ZACK.

CUT TO:

INT. DARK, DUSTY, CONGESTED ATTIC - DAY

We see the empty attic with a decrepit chimney in the
center and a grimy window on the far wall with very
little light streaming through.  We see the dust
particles in the light.  After a beat or two we hear
the indistinct voice of a strong, butch woman, ANNE.
Then ZACK, ANNE, and SHELLY appear at the top of the
staircase.

ANNE
OK, you know what to do?

ZACK, SHELLY
Yep.

ANNE
Good!  Hollar if you need anything!

SHELLY
Ok.

ANNE descends the staircase leaving ZACK and SHELLY
alone in the dim light near the chimney.  A toolbox
sits on the floor.

SHELLY
Where do we start?

ZACK
Remopve the old bricks.  She said they'd be easy to knock out...

SHELLY
But did you get a look at her??  Good Lord!

ZACK
True.

They laugh.

SHELLY
I'm Shelly... Belly...

ZACK
Hi Shelly... Belly...

He takes his hand and raises up SHELLY's shirt above her navel.

ZACK
I see... I'm Zack Miller.

SHELLY
Ahh... Pleased to meet ya.

ZACK
You too.

SHELLY
Let's go!

They both take a large hammer from the toolbox and
take work gloves from their back pockets and put them
on.

ZACK
Ok.

SHELLY
Ready.

ZACK
Safety glasses.

SHELLY
Safety first!

They pull their safety glasses onto their eyes.

SHELLY
These are attractive.

ZACK
Yeah they are!

SHELLY laughs.

SHELLY
Ready?

ZACK
Yeah.

SHELLY
One, two, three...

They both scream and hit the chimney with their
hammers.  The bricks shatter and a large clould of
black soot covers ZACK and SHELLY.  They both break
into hysterical laughter.

ZACK
Oh shit!

SHELLY
Well, we can't stop now!  We have a lto more work to
do and we're going to get much more dirty!  We can
clean up when we're done.

ZACK
Ok.

ZACK coughs and SHELLY lets out a final laugh.  But
then turns back to the chimney.  ZACK smiles.

CUT TO:

We see MARTI, SHELLY, BRITNEY, SELENA walking down a
sidewalk after dinner.  Hugging each other cause
they're all crying except SELENA.  They come to the
social center. 

SONNY, ZACK are inside watching a baseball game.
SHELLY, outside the glass window waves to them.

BRITNEY
I'm going in, you coming?

MARTI
In a bit.

BRITNEY
Shelly, introduce me.

SHELLY
Later.

BRITNEY
Fine, I'll do it myself!
(Walks around and into the social center)
Hi Sonny.  I've been crying... Don't say anything.

SONNY
Hey...

BRITNEY smacks SONNY and gives him a "what'd I just say" look.

BRITNEY
I told you not to say anything.
(Turns to ZACK)
I'm Britney, the only true 'boro bitch!

She walks closer and holds out her hand to be shook.

ZACK
Hi, Britney.  Zack...

He shakes her hand.

BRITNEY
I know.

She sits down on the couch between ZACK and SONNY.

ZACK
You go to their church?

BRITNEY
Not technically.  But, yeah I went last Sunday.

SONNY
She's the dreaded Pres!

BRITNEY
Hey!  God doesn't give a monkey's butt what religion
you are as long as you believe in Him, right?  And I
prefer the term "'boro bitch".

ZACK laughs and looks at BRITNEY- when you see them
look at each other you think that they might end up
together.

BRITNEY
Right!  And Shelly's Pres too and I don't hear you bashing her!

SONNY
Game's back on!

BRITNEY
Interrupted by... baseball's the best!

MARTI, SHELLY, SELENA walk into the social center.

SHELLY
Hey Zack.  Hi Sonny.  Move, okay?

SONNY
The other dreaded Pres.

SHELLY
Shut up and just move.

SONNY scoots over so SHELLY, MARTI can sit next to
BRITNEY.  SELENA sits on the other side of ZACK.

ZACK, BRITNEY are fixed on the game.

SHELLY
Zack...

BRITNEY
Shh... Baseball game!

SHELLY
When'd you start lovin' baseball?

BRITNEY
Now- just be quiet please!

SHELLY
Fine.  Hey, you wanna play pool with me?

MARTI
Yeah.

We see SHELLY, MARTI get up and go get pool balls and
start playing a game as ZACK, SONNY, SELENA, BRITNEY
watch the baseball game.

SELENA
Okay, who's winning?

BRITNEY
The Braves are now.  See- the box in the left hand
corner- that's the score box.  Then the two numbers
with the dash between them- the left one is how many
balls and the right one is how many strikes.

SELENA
Got it.

We see the baseball player from the Braves that was
batting, hit a homerun.  ZACK jumps up out of his seat
and cheers.

BRITNEY
A little obsessed, are you?

SHELLY
He's obsessed all right.

ZACK sits back down.

ZACK
I love the Braves!  I'm gonna play for them one day.

BRITNEY
Sure you are.  And I can say I knew you when, right?

ZACK
Sure will.

SELENA
Britney's gonna win an Oscar.

ZACK
Really?

BRITNEY
Like I know!  But that's my dream.  Yep!  Just like
lil' Tatum O'Neal only not wearing a tux!  Ehh... That
was so tacky but that's her fault.  I've written my
first movie already but it's not good enough...  at
all!

ZACK
What's it about?

BRITNEY
Normal shit- boy meets girl, girl falls for guy, guy
doesn't like girl... but ends up falling for her in
the end...  Not gonna get anywhere... but it'll make a
good summer chick flick.. you know?

ZACK
Oh.  Sounds good- is it a comedy or drama?

BRITNEY
Comedy... not very funny but it's definetely not a drama.

ZACK
Oh.  Who do you want to be in it?

BRITNEY
It was gonna star me and Pres... but...

We see PRESTON and CHRIS enter the room.  BRITNEY
looks up at them then turns her head back to the TV to
watch the game.

SELENA notices the sudden awkwardness in the room and
starts up a conversation with ZACK.

SELENA
I'm Selena, by the way.

ZACK
Zack.

SELENA
Yeah, I know.

CHRIS walks over and sits next to SELENA.

CHRIS
Braves, baby!   Yes!!!

PRESTON sits down next to SONNY as he looks over at BRITNEY.

ZACK
You obsessed too?

BRITNEY
He's the most obsessed Braves fan ever to walk this
earth!  Chris.  And that's Preston.

She looks up at PRESTON sadly.

PRESTON
Hi.

CHRIS
What's up?

ZACK
Zack.

CHRIS
I know.

ZACK
I figured.

PRESTON
(Trying to get BRITNEY's attention)
Who else is playing?

ZACK
It's Braves vs. Orioles.

PRESTON
(Dissapointed because BRITNEY didn't answer)
Oh.

BRITNEY
Can't you tell?

PRESTON
(fighting excitement)
No.

BRITNEY
I can even tell that.

PRESTON
Who cares if you can tell!

BRITNEY
Don't start, Preston!

PRESTON
I didn't!

BRITNEY
Then what do you call that?

PRESTON
Shut up.

BRITNEY
Fine!

We see PRESTON smile when no one is looking as we:

CUT TO:

INT. MARTI AND SHELLY'S ROOM - NIGHT

We hear and see the PHONE RINGING.

BRITNEY jumps up to answer it.  The 4 girls are playing Poker.

SHELLY
I'll get it!

BRITNEY
(Answering the phone)
Alo?  La casa de Britney!

SHELLY
Britney!  This is my phone- room- give it to me!

ZACK
Well, hey Britney.  Can I speak to Shelly-Belly?

BRITNEY
Well, where'd you come up with that nickname?  Be
careful- don't let ol' Nate catch you calling Shelly
that, he'll ring you damn neck!

ZACK
Ok.  Who's Nate again? 

BRITNEY
Big guy... huge!  Neck bigger than my torso!

SHELLY
What are you talking about?

ZACK
He sounds scary.

BRITNEY
Oh he is... but you want to talk to Shelly...

ZACK
Is she there?

BRITNEY
Yeah.  Maybe.  She's being quite annoying.  You sure
you wanna talk to her?

SHELLY
You're the annoying one right now.

BRITNEY
Well, here she is...  I'll call you later.

SHELLY
Give me the damn phone!

ZACK
All right!  Bye Brit.

BRITNEY
How hard is this?  Huh??
(Holds the phone away from Shelly, over her head)
It's called waiting.  A lot of normal people do it!

BRITNEY finally hands SHELLY the phone.

SHELLY
Hey Zack... what's up?

BRITNEY returns to the card game. In the background
SHELLY talks to ZACK.

BRITNEY
I'm gone for 2 minutes and you fucking deal me out of the game!

MARTI
Loose the French.

BRITNEY
Sorry.

SELENA
Take Shelly's hand.

BRITNEY
Ok.

We see BRITNEY pick up SHELLY's hand.

BRITNEY
Did you just deal or something?

CUT TO:

EXT. COURTYARD - EVENING

We see NALA walking with LUCIA, JOY, and BLYTH.

We see BRITNEY and the rest of FBC Waynesboro who are gathered at the Gazebo.

NALA
Are we supposed to be with the youth group?

BLYTHE
No- you crazy!  We never do and why the hell would you
wanna hang out with the freaks that are in our youth
group??

JOY
It's Britney.

BLYTHE

perhaps meet that cute guy talking to her.

LUCIA
Hell yeah.  Doesn't he remind you of... oh damn...
Matt Dillon.

JOY
Come on.  Let's socialize.

We see the girls walk over to the gazebo where BRITNEY
is talking with ANGEL.  DAMIEN turns to look at NALA.

LUCIA
Hola, Britney!  And Angel.

BRITNEY
Hola.

ANGEL
Hi.

NALA
Hi. Who's that? 

NALA points to DAMIEN who now isn't looking at her but
turns his head to her and smiles as BRITNEY turns around to see who she is pointing to.

BRITNEY
Oh, him.  Hey Damien!

DAMIEN
Yes.

ANGEL
Come over here a second.

DAMIEN smacks ELI on the cheek and walks over.

BRITNEY.
Damien, this is Nala, Lucia, Joy, and Blythe.

DAMIEN
Hi.

DAMIEN quickly shakes LUCIA, JOY, and BLYTHE's hands.
But when he comes to NALA he sauvely takes her hand
and holds it in his as he introduces himself- looking
her right in her eyes.  We see BLYTHE roll her eyes as
LUCIA and JOY smile at each other.

DAMIEN
I'm Damien.

NALA
Like from The Omen!

DAMIEN
I'm not exactly anti-christ, but I guess.

NALA laughs.

NALA
Nala...

DAMIEN
It's a pleasure.

BLYTHE (disgusted)
We can tell... are you gonna let go of her hand or...
are you just gonna... 

JOY nudges BLYTHE.

BLYTHE
Nevermind.  Do what you want.

SHELLY
Where's Zack?

BRITNEY
Would I really know?

SHELLY
Well- he told me he'd meet me here.  Have any of you seen him?

JOY
Not since this morning.  He kinda gets on my nerves.
(to BLYTHE, LUCIA)
Have ya'll seen Zack?

BRITNEY
Hold on...

SHELLY
You all know Zack Miller?

LUCIA
Yeah.  He's with our church.  But I haven't seen him since... this morning.

SHELLY
Who are you guys anyway?

BRITNEY
Lucia, Joy, and Blythe... and Nala is over talking with Damien.

SHELLY
Hi- glad to meet ya.  First time with a girl in a while- isn't it?

BRITNEY
You would think he was a fag.  But I don't know!  This
is my first time spending time with him since I was in
1st grade!

SHELLY
Well, back on Zack. 

SELENA
Ryhme!

We hear BRITNEY laugh.

BRITNEY
He's quite cute in my opinion!

We see ZACK, who has just walked up looking for
SHELLY, turn around after overhearing BRITNEY.

ZACK
Why, thank you, Britney!  

He warps his arm around her neck and kisses her cheek
then he notices SHELLY and almost looses his balance
on the stairs leading up to the gazebo.

ZACK
Hey, Shelly-Belly!

NATHAN
What?  Did I just say something without knowing it?
Who said Shelly-Belly?  You- Zack right?  It doesn't
matter.  Just listen!  Don't steal my phrases, okay!
I put time into those things!  Now back on off!

ZACK
Sorry.

NATHAN
Now that we've got that outta the way- I'm Nate.

ZACK (disbelief)
You're Nate??

ZACK turns to BRITNEY.

BRITNEY
All right- I exaggerated a teensy bit.  So slap me!

SHELLY slaps her.

BRITNEY
Not literally!!  And not you anyway...

SHELLY
Don't say it unless you mean it next time!

BRITNEY
Shelly!

SHELLY
All right- Sorry, Brit.

BRITNEY
Aww- sweet pea- you didn't have to apologize!

SHELLY
Shut up.

They laugh, put they're arms around each other, and
walk away.

EXT. COURTYARD NEAR GAZEBO - NIGHT

We see MARTI, SHELLY, BRITNEY, SELENA, HALLIE, MARY
BETH, MAE, ANGEL, CAROL, BEA, ROSETTA, and UNITY
leaving devotions and walking up to their dorm.

MARTI
Playtime.

BRITNEY
Hey, Hallie, what does that remind you of?

HALLIE
What?

BRITNEY
The gazebo.

HALLIE
Let's do it!

HALLIE and BRITNEY dance over to the gazebo.

BRITNEY
Oh, Rolf...

HALLIE
Why am I Rolf?

BRITNEY
I said so!... I dunno!

HALLIE
You're the one with short hair!

BRITNEY
Oh, yeah!  You're right.  Okay...

HALLIE
Oh, Rolf...

BRITNEY (singing)
You wait little girl
On an empty stage
For fate to turn
the light on.  
Your life little girl
Is an empty page
That men will want to write on.

HALLIE (singing)
To write on...

BRITNEY
You are 16 going 17
Baby, it's time to think
Better beware
Be canny and careful
Baby, you're on the brink
You are 16 going on 17
Fellow will fall in line
Eager young lads
And rues and cads
Will offer you food and wine
Totally unprepared are you
To face a world of men
Timid and shy
And scared are you
Of things beyond your ken.  
You need someone
Older and wiser
Telling you what to do
I am 17 going on 18
I'll take care of you!

They do a small dance with each other.

HALLIE
I am 16 going on 17
I know that I'm naive
Fellows I meet
May tell me I'm sweet
And willingly I believe
I am 16 going on 17
Innocant as a rose
Bachelor Dandies
Drinkers of brandies
What do I know of those?
Totally unprepared am I
To face a world of men
Timid and Shy
And scared am I 
Of things beyond my ken
I need someone older and wiser
Telling me what to do
You are 17 going on 18
I'll depend on you!

They do a gig dance with each other then BRITNEY
kisses HALLIE on her cheek and runs out of the
gazebo.  HALLIE acts excited and poses.

GIRLS WATCHING
Bravo!  Good Job!  Marvelous!

HALLIE, BRITNEY
Thank you!  We love you all!

They laugh and join the others.

BRITNEY
You should have gotten Alvin to do this with you!  I
have a very brilliant and very crazy idea!  Let's
marry you both!  That would be so much fun!

HALLIE
I'm too young to get married!

BRITNEY
Like it gonna be real, Hallie!

SELENA
I'm going up to freshen up, anyone coming with me?

UNITY
I'll come.

SELENA
Good.  See ya later

MARTI
See ya.

BRITNEY
I'll be up in a bit!  Leave the door unlocked.  No pockets.

SELENA
Okay.

SHELLY
Bye, Sel.

SELENA
Bye.

We see SELENA and UNITY leave.  Then we turn our
attention to BEA and CAROL.

BEA
Hey, Carol.

CAROL
Yeah, Bea?

BEA
You know, Carol, there's a meeting at the van.

CAROL
Really, Bea?  We better go.

BEA
Right, Carol.

CAROL
Right, Bea.

BEA
Bye girls.  Bed check is at 11:30pm, remember!

CAROL
Adios, señoritas!

GIRLS
Adios.

We see MAE, ROSETTA, and ANGEL take a seat in the
gazebo and start chatting, MARTI and SHELLY sit on the
stairs next to where BRITNEY, MARYBETH, and HALLIE are
standing.

We then see ALVIN walks up behind HALLIE and kisses
her cheek.  PRESTON comes up behind BRITNEY and tries
to kiss her.

BRITNEY
What are you doing?  I thought I made it clear when I
said "It's over.  I'm breaking up with you!".

PRESTON
You did.

BRITNEY
Then what's your problem?

PRESTON
You're just so beautiful.

He leans in on her and tries to kiss her again.  She
pushes him off of her.

BRITNEY
I love being kissed and flattered and all... but not by you.  
(truns to ALVIN)
Alvin, how bout you get married to Hallie tonight?

ALVIN
I'm too young to get married.

SHELLY
We get that part.  It's just pretend.

ALVIN
Okay.  As long as there's no marriage license and crap.

MARTI
There won't.  I'll be the priest.

BRITNEY
Okay.  Hallie, sweetie- pick your maid of honor.

HALLIE
Mary Beth.  My roommate.

ALVIN
Pres will be the best man cause he's the only other guy here.

PRESTON
Cool, man!

BRITNEY
I'll be flower girl.

HALLIE
No, you and Shelly sing.  You're the best.

SHELLY
Okay.  What song?

HALLIE
Uh... Is Amazing Grace all right, hun?

ALVIN
Yeah.

BRITNEY
I only know the first verse the whole way through.

SHELLY
We'll sing the first verse two times.

HALLIE turns toward ROSETTA, ANGEL, and MAE in the gazebo.

HALLIE
Rosetta, you can be my flower girl.

MAE
We'll be eye witnesses.

ANGEL
Yeah.

MARTI
Get into positions.  Are we ready to start the service?

HALLIE
Yes.  This is the perfect setting.

CUT TO:

EXT. GAZEBO - MINUTES LATER

We see the whole gazebo with everyone in front of it.
Then we SLOWLY ZOOM IN on BRITNEY and SHELLY singing.
BRITNEY has melody, SHELLY has harmony.

MARTI
We'll start with a song.  Sung by Shelly and Britney.  Amazing Grace.

SHELLY, BRITNEY (singing)
Amazing Grace how sweet the song
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found
Was blind but now I see

Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed

Twas Grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.

The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures
Amen.

MARTI
Thank you.
(beat)
Now.  We are all gathered here today to witness the
marriage of James Wilson...  I have to... and Hallie
Kane in holy matrimony.  If there are any of you out
there who believe these two should not be married in
front of God and friends please do so now or forever
hold your peace.  That part wasn't necessary but oh
well.  Do you Alvin take Hallie to be your lawfully
wedded wife to have and to hold in sickness and in
health till death do you part?

ALVIN
I do.

MARTI
And do you Hallie take Alvin to be your lawfully
wedded husband to have and to hold in sickness and in
health till death do you part?

HALLIE
Not yet but hopefully someday soon.

MARTI
What?  Well, I guess since this isn't exactly real you
can say that.  I now pronounce you man and wife.  You
may kiss the bride.

ALVIN kisses HALLIE.  Everyone looks on and applauds
when the kiss breaks.  ALVIN and HALLIE smile at each
other.

BRITNEY
You know I've never seen you two kiss up till now.

ALVIN
Maybe it's beacuse we've never kissed before?

MARTI
Really?  

SHELLY
You've gotta be kidding!

BRITNEY
I thought you two were going down on each other in theaters and stuff...

ALVIN
Huh?

BRITNEY
Well- you've been going out for like 2 years... and you haven't kissed until now?

HALLIE nods.

HALLIE
No big deal.

BRITNEY
Oh.  Yeah- I guess you're right.

HALLIE
It's never JUST the physical stuuf- you gotta love the
person and know them!  Not just want them.

We see BRITNEY nod.

"I'm singin' in the rain, just singin' in the rain!"

HOWIE
You're crazy!

BRITNEY walks away from MARTI and JAKE.  She stands

He takes BRITNEY's hand, pulls her down and kisses her
cheek.  PRESTON see this and looks disgusted.

MARTI
No, but Britney does.  I'm into soccer.

JAKE
Oh.  Me too!

MARTI
Cool.  We should play each other before the end of the week.

JAKE
That'd be cool.  But you'd lose.

MARTI
How would you know?  You just met me and I am really good at it.

JAKE
Oh.

MARTI
You wanna get outta here?

JAKE
And go where?

MARTI
Get a soda at the Circle K?

They walk through the room and down a hall and NALA opens the last door.

INT. BARE ROOM - NIGHT

We see the room from NALA and DAMIEN's POV- a couch and a desk with nothing on it.

So, do you like it here so far?

DAMIEN
Yeah.  I'm having a lot of fun.

NALA
Good.  Me too!
(Looks down at her wet clothes)
Do you mind if I take off a layer- let them dry out a little bit?

DAMIEN
No, not at all.

NALA
Good.

Smiles and starts unbuttoning her shirt to reveal a
black lacy camisole.  Then lays the shirt out on the
floor.  Takes off her knee length skirt to reveal a
black half slip.  Then lays that out next to her shirt.

NALA, DAMIEN
That's better.

NALA looks up at him and smiles.

NALA
I love you too.

She laughs and gets more comfortable on the couch.

DAMIEN
Love isn't exactly the...

NALA kisses him.

DAMIEN

I thought you weren't going to follow me here!

PRESTON
Well, I lied.  Why are you over here?

BRITNEY
I just wanted to be alone for a while.  Is it past 11:30?

PRESTON
Not yet.  Soon though.

He sits down beside her.

BRITNEY
Why are you here?  I said I wanted to be alone.

PRESTON
I want to talk to you.  And everybody else left.

BRITNEY
Oh.  Do you have any cigarettes?

PRESTON
You don't smoke.

BRITNEY
I do now.  Well, I used to and now I only do if I'm tired or depressed.

PRESTON
Did you bring your medicine?

BRITNEY
I flushed it down the toilet at the Econo Lodge.

PRESTON
You're dumb.

BRITNEY
I know... I've got cigs- I just need a light.

PRESTON
I got one.

PRESTON pulls a lighter out of his pocket and lights
it.  BRITNEY puts a cigarette in her mouth and bends
down to the lighter.

BRITNEY
Thanks.

PRESTON
No problem.

BRITNEY
Ok- now what did you want to talk about?

PRESTON
Why are we doing all of this?

BRITNEY
To get attention.  What else?

PRESTON
Sure...  Give me a puff.

BRITNEY
You don't smoke.

You come up to me every second of your ever-wasting
life saying "I love you"!  What the hell am I supposed
to do?  Why do you keep on bringing this up?  I want

EXT. COURTYARD - NIGHT

We see BRITNEY sitting on a bench in the courtyard.
PRESTON walks up behind her and she senses his presense.

BRITNEY
When are you gonna stop following me around, trying to get some ass?

PRESTON
I'm going back to my dorm.  Not following you around.

BRITNEY
Your dorm is in the other direction.

PRESTON
I'm finding Chris to get the key so I can go back to my dorm.

BRITNEY
He announced earlier that he was going back to the
dorm to clean up and he told you that the door would
be unlocked.  So don't give me this shit.

PRESTON
Ok!  I just came to see you, I'm not following you around!  And I don't want your ass!

BRITNEY
Fine!  Be honest in the first place.  Come on, sit down with me.  That cig set my head straight.

PRESTON
Really?  I thought they messed up your head.

BRITNEY
Hmm... Come on.

PRESTON sits down next to BRITNEY.

BRITNEY
You're not new to me.  But you can't love someone
new.  It has to take time.  I think I understand all
that you've done and said to me.  I apologize for not
being open.  I do love you!  I've figured it out!  I
don't want to win some bet!  I want to find the one
who's best for me- someone i like.  And you're it.  If
I keep on talking it's....

SELENA
Let's walk.

HOWIE
You're really talkative.

SELENA
I think I've talked as much as I can tonight.

HOWIE
What bet were you talking about earlier?

SELENA
Oh.  On our way here, I made this bet up for Marti,
Shelly, and Britney.  They had to meet somebody new
and kiss them before the end of the week.  I didn't
want to be in it because I used to hate men.  They had
no point in my life.  I was going to live as happily
as I could.  Try to have no distractions until I
wanted to get married.  Now, I've met you and I don't
know if I hate men anymore.

HOWIE
You better not hate me!

SELENA
Of course I don't hate you!

They stop walking when they reach the end of the
parking lot.  HOWIE moves his hand to her shoulder so
he has his arm around her.  They look at each other.

Don't say anything.

They slowly get close to each other.
