INT. College Dorm room after Thanksgiving Break - Late afternoon

It is a typical male college dorm room. The room has two desks,

two bunked beds, a table, a futon, and a TV. The room belongs to

BLACKJACK and GRAMPS. GRAMPS is slouched on the futon watching

Netflix. There’s a knock at the door then the code is punched in

and the door finally opens on the third try of the code and SWIM

enters. He routinely starts over to plug in his phone to play

music.

GRAMPS

About time, I thought I was gonna have to get up.

SWIM

Yeah, I kept putting in the code to my room. What’s up? Where’s

BLACKJACK?

GRAMPS

He’s taking a doogie.

SWIM

Dude, I’m impressed. I expected you to be taking nap.

GRAMPS

I already took one. I had a fucking crazy dream.

SWIM

You still are.

GRAMPS

What?

SWIM

You still are.

GRAMPS

SWIM (Laughs)

Dreaming, Dude, You’re still dreaming. Damn everything gets lost

in translation with you.

GRAMPS

What? Noo. Are you calling me retarded? Huh, Swim? You sayin I’m

a retard?

SWIM

Yes, dude. You know Meg Ryan went to my high school?

GRAMPS

Yeah, you already told me this.

SWIM

Oh right. Cause she did a movie with Tom Hanks.

GRAMPS

Tom Wanks?

SWIM

He was in the movie Lost in Translation.

GRAMPS

What? Swim, why are you tellin me this? And I thought it was

Bill Murray

SWIM

Ah, fuck it. What was your dream about?

GRAMPS

Oh dude it was insane. I don’t really remember the dream but

like after I woke up..like I wasn’t sure if the dream was real

or not.

SWIM

We’re not real.

ENTER BLACKJACK

BLACKJACK

Ohhh, look who’s here.

SWIM

What’s up, ya bish? How was your shit?

BLACKJACK

Oh, dude. It was terrible. I really tell ya. Like, it was awful.

Thanksgiving really fucked me up.

SWIM

The four days I was home was basically one extended meal. And

everything I ate was garbage. It was glorious. It’s killing me

though.

BLACKJACK

Oh, dude. Like, I don’t understand. Like, I really don’t. I

don’t know how this food is still inside me.

SWIM

Oh, Dude! I saw a dopplebanger at 7/11.

BLACKJACK

There’s a 7/11 around here?

GRAMPS

When’d you go to 7/11?

SWIM

I went back home.

BLACKJACK

Wait, what do you mean dopple-banger? I like the sound of this.

SWIM

I knew you would. I was gettin a torch and I saw this girl who

looked just like Alexis Texas.

BLACKJACK

Oh my God. I’m so jealous. I really am. What’d you do?

SWIM

What do you mean, “what’d I do?” I was getting a lighter.

BLACKJACK

Oh, you didn’t talk to her?

SWIM

No, dude. I don’t know her.

GRAMPS

Aw, you should’ve taken a pic.

SWIM

What? GRAMPS! Its things like this that make me call you a

creep. She looks like Alexis Texas.

GRAMPS

I’d eat a mile of her shit just to see where it came from.

SWIM pretends to gag.

GRAMPS

What, dude? I would.

BLACKJACK

Oh dude, me too. Like, I really would. Without a doubt.

SWIM

Aaaand with that let’s go get some food. You coming, BLACKJACK?

BLACKJACK

Oh yeah, I’m starving. I really am. I need to get some- some

fiber or something.
