INT. JACKRABBIT SLIM’S – NIGHT ( a restaurant)
Buddy(waiter) comes back with the drinks. Mia warps her lips around the straw of her shake.
MIA
Yummy!
VINCENT
Can I have a sip of that? I’d like to know what a five-dollar shake tastes like.
MIA
Be my guest.
She slides the shake over to him.
MIA
You can use my straw , I don’t have kooties.
Vincent smiles.
VINCENT
Yeah , but maybe I do.
MIA
Kooties I can handle.
He takes a sip.
VINCENT
Goddamn! That’s a pretty fuckin’ good milk shake.
MIA
Told ya .
VINCENT
I don’t know if it’s worth five dollars , but it’s pretty fuckin’ good.
He slides the shake back.
Then the first of an uncomfortable silence happens.
MIA
Don’t you hate that?
VINCENT
What?
MIA
Uncomfortable silences. Why do we feel it’s necessary to yak about bullshit in order to be comfort?
VINCENT
I don’t know.
MIA
That’s when you know you found somebody special. When you can just shit the fuck up for a minute , and comfortably share silence.
VINCENT
I don’t think we’re there yet. But don’t feel bad, we just met each other.
MIA
Well I’ll tell you what, I’ll go to the bathroom and powder my nose, while you sit here and think of something to say.
VINCENT
I’ll do that.
