The Robot: Boogie Machine of Doom

Part I

CHRIS: Yes. This thing looks very problematic. The computer, lots of problems. Tons. So I think I'm gonna have to come by again tomorrow.

ERIKA: Oh, are you sure?

CHRIS: Yeah, but don't worry, I won't charge any extra for a special lady like you.

ERIKA: Oh, okay. Sure.

CHRIS: Here's my card. It has my name and my phone number, so you can call me.

ERIKA: Thanks.

CHRIS: Well I'll be seeing you, Erika.

ERIKA: Sounds good.

CHRIS walks outside, shuts the door behind him. He is ecstatic.

CHRIS'S THOUGHTS (all echoey and stuff): Wow. Erika. She might just be the one.

CHRIS dials up KEVIN.

CHRIS: Kevin, you won't believe it, man. I'm in love. Tell the whole world I'm in love and there's nothing that can stop me!

KEVIN: Wow, Chris. Good for you!

CHRIS: Thanks, Kev.

KEVIN: So, who's the lucky lady?

CHRIS: Well her name's Erika.

KEVIN: That's great, Chris. What does she smell like?

CHRIS: Oh wow, putting me on the spot haha! What a weird question Kevin. If I remember she smells like canola oil.

KEVIN: Wow Chris! Good for you! That's awesome, man. Truly good stuff. So -

CHRIS hangs up. He steps into his car, and starts blasting whatever song I can afford the rights for. He drives off into the sunset.

SCENE 5 -

At home, CHRIS throws his keys on the table, makes a sandwich, and sits down on the couch. He turns on the TV, showing the news channel from before.

CHRIS: Enough of this, I don't need any of this. I'm going to call Erika and see what she's up to. ... Wait! I never got her number. Rats. How am I supposed to call her now?

Cut to CHRIS in the car, pulling up to ERIKA's house. He knocks on the door. ERIKA opens the door, surprised to see CHRIS standing outside with a single yellow rose.

ERIKA: Uh, hey.

CHRIS: Hello Erika! I realized I never got your phone number, can I get it so we can keep in touch?

ERIKA: No, sorry. I don't really know you.

CHRIS: Well we can change that. Let's see. I'm Chris, I'm a super cool guy, I'm actually super nice, and I'm really funny, too.

ERIKA: That's good. It's still a no, though. Sorry.

CHRIS: Will this change your mind?

CHRIS pulls out a deck of cards.

CHRIS: Pick a card.

ERIKA: Haha okay.

CHRIS: Now I want you to take that card, remember it, then put it back in the deck.

ERIKA: Okay..

CHRIS: Now you split the deck.

ERIKA splits the deck. CHRIS pulls out an ace of spades.

CHRIS: Is this your card?

ERIKA: Wow, you got it! That was really cool. What was your name again?

CHRIS: Chris. So can I get your number now?

ERIKA: Ask me again tomorrow, we'll see.

CHRIS: Okay, sounds like a plan.

ERIKA: See you, Chris.

CHRIS: Alright. I'll see you tomorrow, Erika!

CHRIS walks back to his car, puts the song I get the rights for or a super sick song I write on, and drives off. Cut to the next day, where Chris goes through the getting ready montage, but this time he puts more effort into it and puts on nicer clothes. Cut to him at ERIKA's front door.

CHRIS: Good morning, sunshine!

ERIKA: Hey, Chris. Come on in!

CHRIS: So, computers! Yes, let's see here.

ERIKA: It's nice to see you again, Chris.

CHRIS: And the same goes for you. How did you sleep last night?

ERIKA: Very good, thanks.

CHRIS: That's fantastic. Sleep's my favorite

CHRIS continues poking at the computer with his screwdriver.

CHRIS: So, any plans for tonight?

ERIKA: I don't think so, no

CHRIS: That's great. Sometimes when I don't have plans I like to make plans. Would you like to make plans? Maybe with me, I don't know, up to you.

ERIKA: Sure, that sounds like fun.

CHRIS: Great, see you then!
