INT. COLLEGE LIBRARY-- DAY

JUSTIN
Dude it’s so fucking easy!

CHARLIE
Really?

JUSTIN
I wouldn’t lie to you man

CHARLIE
I’m so nervous. What if I vomit on myself?! I mean-

JUSTIN
Fucking do it!

(Charlie goes toward the girl but then turns back to Justin)

CHARLIE
Do I just keep going with vomit on me or do I-

JUSTIN
GO

(Justin pushes Charlie and Charlie approach her)

CHARLIE
Hi!

Charlie sits down next to Girl1.

GIRL1
Hi.

CHARLIE
My name’s Charlie. Like in Charlie Brown.

GIRL1
That’s an interesting name for a girl.
CHARLIE
Yeah.
GIRL1
My name’s Leah.

There is an awkward silence.
CHARLIE
So, I have three months left to live...

INT. HALLWAY--DAY
JUSTIN
OK- so that didn’t work out, you just need to try agai-

CHARLIE
How did I let you talk me into that? That was a stupid idea in the first place 3 months to live?! Fucking really?
JUSTIN
She was just a deb man, All “How could you joke about that” and whatever, she didn’t know how to take a joke you wouldn’t of been a good couple anyway.

Justin stops following Charlie in the hallway while Charlie continues on.

CHARLIE
That’s not the point Justin. I’m not gonna just say whatever it takes in order to get girls. I have morals.


INT. VIDEO GAME STORE/MOVIE STORE - NIGHT

Charlie comes up to the cash register with her merchandise. her and the cashier exchange glances. Charlie puts her merchandise on the counter and the cashier scans it.

CASHIER
This copy is only availible to purchase right now, not rent.

Charlie Smiles.
CHARLIE
I know.

They exchange two last glances and Charlie leaves.

INT. BEDROOM -- NIGHT

Charlie is sitting at the computer looking at various windows of the internet. An animated pop-up appears in neon colors reading “Unlucky in love? Is it because you’re too nerdy to function? How about extremely shy? Or because you have a restraining order against you? Fear not! Our Lesbian love guru is the perfect mentor for you! The first session is free!” Charlie clicks on the ad and we cut.

INT. CAFE -- MIDDAY

GURU
So what is the problem you’ve been having?

CHARLIE
I can’t approach girls, no matter how hard I try, it never works out right.

GURU
Well have you tried just being yourself?
CHARLIE
What do you mean by be myself?
GURU
Just act normally, no facade, no crazyness, just talk to them as yourself?
