Ticket

1 EXT. BUS STATION. DAY 1
Title: Ticket
Black fills our vision and then finally we get a sense of movement and
then black surrounded by white. Now we can see a letter. And then a
word
GFX: Adult
LISA

That's what it says on the ticket
We can now see a bus ticket
LISA

So that's what I do. Try to act like an adult

It's valid until tomorrow 04.29 am
A bus pulls away from its stop
LISA

Though nothing good is going to come out of
not being in bed asleep at that time
SAM
Hello. I've seen you sitting there... for an
hour or so now
LISA
Are you talking to me?
SAM
Yes. I've noticed you. Before. Nothing funny.
I work across the way
LISA
And you watch me?
SAM
No. That's sounds funny doesn't it...
LISA
If you say so
SAM
I mean funny. I don't mean funny funny. I
mean funny weird funny
LISA
Is that supposed to make me feel better?
SAM
It's just that you never go anywhere. Every
day. On this bench. You never go anywhere
2 INT. BUS. DAY 2
Sam are at the back of the bus. Lisa is sitting, Sam stands. Lisa is
describing the people they pass. Sam turns back around and sits down
SAM
No way you can tell that?
Sam doesn't speak but she clearly disagrees
SAM
From ten seconds? Fifteen because so many
people get on? No way you can tell that
Lisa stares at Sam. Really looking at him. She looks him up and down
LISA
You've been working at the shop...
SAM
Carpet store
LISA
Carpet store for about three years. Longer
than you'd thought but there's a recession
and your girlfriend might leave you if you
had no job. So you stay there. You drive
rather than catch one of these
SAM
I'm not the only one who's been watching
LISA
You frayed collar, you can't be bothered
Sam fingers his collar
LISA
You can't be bothered to buy a new one if
you're leaving right?
SAM
Have you seen me with my girlfriend?
LISA
You got a picture on your car key fob, you
didn't have any idea of the price
SAM
You are pinning me to my seat. What else have
you got?
