Scene #3

INT. CAR — DAY

In the driver’s seat we see CHUCK (39), short red hair, sturdy, sporting a muscle shirt. He beckons somebody off screen. Short time later, DR. MIRIAN (53) enters and takes the backseat. He wears an outdated suit, a bow tie, and a grumpy look on his face.

CHUCK: Hey, you’re the doctor, right?

MIRIAN: Dr. Mirian. That’s right.

CHUCK: Great. I’m Chuck, call me Chuck. Welcome to my magic carpet, haha.

Mirian is not amused, looking around as if the car might not check the basic requirements to reach his destination.

CHUCK: So we are headed to…Lulick Street? Is this even a place? Sorry, never heard of it, and I’m living here since… 21, wait, 22-

MIRIAN: The address is correct.

CHUCK: Okay…let’s follow the little lady.

He starts the navigation device, starts the engine and merges into traffic. He soon turns down the device, occasionally checking the display.

CHUCK: So, we’re Lulick-bound and compadres for the next 18 minutes! Whoo!

Mirian stares out of his windows.

LATER

CHUCK: Ah look, right there. Other side. Little jam there. Accident maybe? Is there a doctor on board? Haha.

Mirian clears his throat.

MIRIAN: I’m a physicist.

CHUCK: Ah, Big Bang Theory, right?

Mirian is irritated, but loosens up a tad.

MIRIAN: Well, that’s astrophysics. But-

CHUCK: My wife and I don’t miss an episode. It’s hilarious.

Mirian doesn’t understand, but he doesn’t want to, either.

LATER

CHUCK: So you physics guys make a night of it at Lulick Street? How’s that like, hm?

MIRIAN: Was that a…um…a movie theatre?

CHUCK: Between the mall and the cabstand? Yes, sir.

MIRIAN: I’m dying to watch a movie again. It’s been a while. Would you mind… Full price of course, but please drop me right here. A little bit of air as well. It’s been a while.

Chuck stops, frowning. As he turns in his seat, Mirian is already jumping out of the car.
