Title: “The One Where Kevin Starts To Talk.”

Scene 48: Interior / Supermarket’s Coffee Shop / Day

Louis and Harry are standing by the counter. While Louis orders, Harry checks on the pastry, deciding which one he’ll order.

LOUIS: (to the barista) “I’d like a latte, please. More coffee than milk.”

BARISTA: “With or without whip?”

LOUIS: “Without. Oh, and I want fat free milk if possible, please.”

BARISTA: “I’m afraid we only have low fat milk.”

LOUIS: “Damn.”

HARRY: (frowning) “Isn’t it the same?”

LOUIS: “No, not at all.” (to the barista) “Just coffee then.”

BARISTA: “Okay. Small, medium or large?”

HARRY: (whispering to himself) “Large hopefully.”

LOUIS: (to the barista) “Medium, please.”

BARISTA: “Awesome, what would you like to eat?”

LOUIS: “I’m fine, just coffee.”

HARRY: “Aren’t you hungry?”

LOUIS: “No, I already had an orange earlier.”

HARRY: (frowning) “What the hell? Since when do oranges qualify as food?” (Louis laughs, Harry turns to the barista) “I’d like a Large Mocha Cookie Cappuccino with extra caramel sauce.”

LOUIS: (mouthing) “Holy shit.”

BARISTA: “Anything to eat?”

HARRY: “A croissant and… um, a donut. The pink one with the blue sprinkles.” (Louis laughs, Harry turns to him) “What are you laughing at?”

LOUIS: “You are hungry, aren’t you?”

HARRY: “Yeah, I didn’t eat yet. You should be hungry too or are you just not ordering because I’m paying?”

LOUIS: “You don’t have to pay, it’s on me.”

HARRY: “What? I invited you so I’m paying. Shut up.”

BARISTA: “That would be 14,50.”

HARRY: “Here you go.” (turns to Louis) “You sure you don’t want a donut?”

LOUIS: “I’m fine, thanks.”

BARISTA: “Guys, I forgot to ask for your names.” (takes a pen to write the names on the cups, stares at Louis)

LOUIS: “It’s Louis.”

BARISTA: (to Harry) “And you?”

HARRY: (frowns, looks at Louis then smiles) “It’s Claude.”

LOUIS: (they walk to a table, Louis is laughing) “Why did you give them a fake name?”

HARRY: “You started it… Louis.”

LOUIS: (his mouth drops open, gets nervous) “Oh, yes. I…. I just thought it would be fun to do so.”
