Girl Talk
From Rom Com
This is a scene in which Kati and Hallie confer over what has just happened to Hallie (i.e., the seduction) and discuss her attraction to Nick. Aimee arrives eventually, and we also get a glimpse of Dylan, who probably goes off with Hallie or something. This takes place inside Eastern Accents.
INT. Eastern Accents. Day.
They are sitting at one of the tables by the window. It is arranged so that one of them has her back directly to the window and the other is facing her, so that an over-the-shoulder shot would capture the whole interior of the restaurant.
It was weird.
Kati stares at her.
I don't know! It was weird! (She is somewhat defensive. Kati has a way of making people feel as if she can see their thought processes.)
(delicately) He just...
(cuts her off)On the mouth. (Pause.) It was kind of nice, actually.
Why? (she is more put off than inquisitive.)
Oh, I don't know. He's just usually all talk and no...you know...
No...
Action. All talk and no action.
Ah.
Nice theoretically. You know. In actuality (she does something to effect a pause; perhaps applies chapstick or rubs her nose, but whatever...) odd. Unexpected. (Pause. Eagerly, almost desperately:) Do you think he likes me?
I don't think he likes anyone. And I wouldn't trust him.
(Sarcastically; it is as if she were about to say "No duh" right after the line) I don't trust Greg. God.
