All you have to do is call someone over and give them a compliment. Think you can handle that?
FLYNN
Uh, I think so.
ABRAM
Good. They're all yours.
A mother and her kid is walking by. Flynn's nervous. Doesn't know how to approach the situation.
TORIE
You can do this Flynn.
FLYNN
Excuse me! You want a free picture?
MOM SHOPPER
Sure.
They pose for it. Flynn tries to think of something to say. Notices the kid's Captain America shirt.
FLYNN
Cool, shirt.
KID SHOPPER
Thanks.
Flynn smiles at Abram. Abram gives him the OK sign.
LOBBY – DAY
Abram's taking a photo of an elderly woman.
ABRAM
I'm sorry ma'am. You have to be twenty-one or older. I'm going to need some ID.
The elderly woman grins big.
ABRAM (CONT'D)
Stunning.
LOBBY – DAY
Torie's taking a picture of a young, fashionable woman.
TORIE
I love that bag.
BAG SHOPPER
I got it on sale. I was worried it was going to be too small. I need to put my entire day in here.
TORIE
Right! Me too!
They start having a conversation. Flynn is amazed.
FLYNN
(to Tristen) You two are unreal.
LOBBY – DAY
Savannah's taking a photo of a posing couple.
SAVANNAH
Too cute.
ROMANTIC SHOPPER
You too.
Savannah looks at Tristen who's standing beside her.
SAVANNAH
Oh, we're not together. He lost the bet.
The couple is caught off guard. Savannah takes the picture.
LOBBY – DAY
Tristen's taking the picture of a teen girl.
TRISTEN
You have a gorgeous smile.
TEEN GIRL SHOPPER
Thank you.
Tristen takes the photo. Hands it to her.
TEEN GIRL SHOPPER
Hey, what are you doing after this?
Tristen looks over his shoulder at the others who are closely watching.
TRISTEN
I'm probably going to head home. I've got a ton of studying to do. You know how it is.
TEEN GIRL SHOPPER
I could give you my number. Maybe we can hang out when you get the time?
TRISTEN
You seem cool, but I'm going to have to pass. I'm sorry.
TEEN GIRL SHOPPER
Your loss.
She walks away. Tristen turns around to face the group.
SAVANNAH
She was pretty. Why'd you turn her down?
TRISTEN
I wasn't interested.
