The Script For Today's Comic!
The Secret of the Old Cell Phone, Part 4
SCENE:
Still at the ol’ Tanner digs.
IZZY (calming down, realizing that she needs to be nice to pull this one off, and that Tanner is actually being quite logical): Look. Tanner. We’ve been sleeping together for awhile, so I consider you a friend.
IZZY (stammering as she gets the words out, made uncomfortable by the intimacy): A… close friend. Really close. I care about you. In…
IZZY: Anyway, Ann is bad news. She doesn’t have friends – she has resources. And I don’t know what she thinks you can do for her, but it’s not good.
IZZY: Talking to the girl who broke your heart could be closure – but talking to a girl who uses you constantly is insanity. And we should… we should be honest about stuff like this.
IZZY (earnest, serious, heartbreaking): Because I don’t want to see you hurt. And I don’t want it to hurt us.
TANNER (surprised, and a little moved): I’m not going to sleep with her, Izzy.
IZZY (with the air of someone dusting off her hands to get back to the task at hand, not angry, but dismissive – she believes him when he says that): That’s good. Because this would be over if you did.
IZZY (brightening, having made her point): Now let’s go unwrap the presents and turn on the TV! I spent weeks deciding what movies we’d watch together on Christmas!
(Izzy leaves. Tanner gets out the cell phone, makes a quick call, talks small)
TANNER (whispering): I’ll talk to you later.
(pause)
TANNER (whispering): Oh, and Merry Christmas!
