Hey, you didn't think i would do it and i haven't DONE it but i've started it. Thats right Six pages of Good Friday. The Story of a Child switching bodies with the priest that molested him. Oh boy. WARNING: If you couldn't guess already its kinda dark. So you don't have to read it...Chicken. I put an Indiana Jones reference in it "NUKE THE FRIDGE". And a Mariah Carey Song, you don't have to listen to it. This will be my first full script, a great career move. I'll post the pages the day i write them and not edit them. I'm going to GONZO this entire script.

glances.
GIRL
Hey, is it true that you’ve never
kissed a girl before?
KEVIN stares at his hands
GIRL

ever touched a girl, you

trying to ask is if you’ve ever had
sex with a girl? Have you? You
haven’t. Not even a little bit.
What if i told you that if you
followed me into the bathroom right
now i would have sex with you. What
would you say to that? Nothing.
Well then i’m gonna leave and i’ll
see if you follow me.
She gets up and walks away. Stops. Looks back at KEVIN
sitting still. Walks back to the chair.
GIRL
Wow. You don’t even have a boner.
You’re not gay are you? Nope. Well

GIRL
