DANY-TAKE ME HOME.
ROCK-DANY, YOU KNOW THAT'S OUT OF-
DANY-TAKE ME HOME RIGHT NOW! WHAT'S SO HARD ABOUT THAT? I DIDN'T STUTTER!(HE STAYS QUIET)THANK YOU. YOU PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE HOME FOR A WHILE ANYWAY.
(HE DROPS HER OFF AND PULLS OFF, I STAY IN THE BACK SEAT)
JESSICA-(TO BREAK THE DREADFUL SILENCE)SHE...SHE DOESN'T LIKE ME, DOES SHE?
ROCK-HMM? OHH...DANY....JESS, I'M REALLY NOT SURE. AT CERTAIN TIMES, SHE JUST GETS REALLY, REALLY, JEALOUS. I GUESS IT'S THE HOT BLOOD IN HER VEINS, BEING CUBAN AND EVERYTHING.
JESSICA-MM...YEAH.
ROCK-(SIGHS)IT'S HARD TO APOLOGIZE FOR OTHER PEOPLE-
JESSICA-IT'S OK. DON'T FRET ABOUT IT. (PAUSES)DO YOU MIND IF I ASK YOU WHAT SHE SAID?
ROCK-WELL, SHE WANTS US TO SLEEP TOGETHER.
JESSICA-WHA?
ROCK-WELL, NOT REALLY, BUT THATS WHAT SHE MADE IT OUT TO BE. (HE TELLS HER WHAT SHE SAID)
JESSICA-HUH....WELL....NOW THAT I KNOW WHAT SHE REALLY FEELS....(WE ARRIVE AT MY HOUSE) I'LL SEE YOU LATER. (SHE GETS OUT AND STARTS WALKING UP TO THE DOOR)
ROCK-(HE GETS OUT OF THE CAR AND CATCHES UP TO HER)(GRABS HER ARM GENTLY, STOPPING HER) HEY JESS, LOOK, I-(SHE PUTS A FINGER UP TO HIS MOUTH)
JESSICA-DON'T. JUST...DON'T. (EXHALES)THANKS. THANK YOU FOR STICKING UP FOR ME. I REALLY, REALLY APPRECIATE IT.(SHE HUGS HIM)
ROCK-(HUGS HER BACK)IT'S FINE, I WASN'T JUST GONNA STAND THERE AND LET HER TALK ABOUT YOU LIKE THAT. (THEY PULL AWAY FROM EACH OTHER)
JESSICA-I...GUESS I'LL SEE YOU LATER. (SHE WALKS UP TO THE DOOR AND TAKES HER KEY OUT BUT DOESN'T OPEN THE DOOR)(SHE TURNS AROUND AND HE'S STANDING RIGHT BEHIND HER) YOU WANNA COME IN FOR A MINUTE?
ROCK-UH...WELL, I JUST THOUGHT IT WOULD BE RIGHT FOR ME TO WALK YOU UP TO YOUR DOOR.
JESSICA-(SMILES)RIGHT. (SHE TURNS AROUND AND UNLOCKS THE DOOR. SHE FEELS HIS HAND ON HER WAIST)(OPENS THE DOOR AND STARTS TO WALK IN, BUT HIS HAND HOLDS HER BACK)(QUIETLY) WHY ARE YOU HOLDING ME BACK?
ROCK-I JUST...DON'T WANT YOU TO BE ANGRY OR ANYTHING.
JESSICA-(SHE FACES HIM)NO, THAT'S NOT WHY YOU'RE HOLDING ME BACK.(SHE PUTS HER HAND ON HIS)
ROCK-WHY AM I-(SHE KISSES HIM)
JESSICA-A GOODNIGHT KISS. GOODNIGHT. (SHE GOES IN THE HOUSE)(PAUSES) ARE YOU COMING IN OR NOT?
ROCK-I....DON'T KNOW. DO YOU WANT ME TO?
JESSICA-AM I STANDING HERE? ARE YOU MIXED?(HE SMILES)(LIKE HE WAS DOING VINCE, TALKING TO HIM LIKE A PUPPY) COME ON, COME ON, YOU CAN DO IT, IT WON'T HURT, COME IN THE HOUSE. (HE DOESN'T MOVE)I SAID COME IN THE HOUSE! (HE STEPS IN THE HOUSE AND CLOSES THE DOOR) (SMILES SWEETLY)THAT'S BETTER.
ROCK-TREATING ME LIKE I TREATED MY BOSS, HUH? (SHE NODS AND GRABS HIS HANDS)WHAT DO YOU WANT WITH ME? DON'T YOU THINK I SHOULD BE GETTING HOME TO DANY BEFORE SHE GETS ANY MADDER?
JESSICA-WILL YOU REALLY NOTICE ANY DIFFERENCE?
ROCK-I PROBABLY...WILL, BUT I-(SIGHS)FUCK IT. (HE KISSES HER)
JESSICA-NO, I DON'T WANT YOU TO FUCK IT.
ROCK-WHY, YOU WANT ME TO FUCK YOU?
JESSICA-(GASPS)HOW DARE YOU THINK OF ME LIKE THAT! DO YOU THINK THAT'S ALL I WANT FROM YOU?
ROCK-WELL....IT'S NOT ALL THAT YOU WANT, BUT I'M SURE IT'S MOST OF WHAT YOU WANT.
JESSICA-OH, SO YOU JUST THINK I'M SOME SLUT, HUH? IF WE SLEPT TOGETHER, YOU WOULD BE A CHEATER, YOU KNOW THAT RIGHT?
ROCK-AND THAT WOULD BE A SACRIFICE I'D HAVE TO DEAL WITH, NOW WOULDN'T IT?
JESSICA-WELL, I DON'T CARE, I'M NOT GOING TO BE A (SINGS LIKE "I'M A SLAVE 4 U")SLUT...FOR YOU. THAT'S BRITNEY SPEARS'S JOB.
ROCK-UH...NO, I DON'T THINK SO. YOU KNOW, I THINK I'M GONNA BE GOING HOME NOW.
JESSICA-IT'S COOL. I'M STRAIGHT WITH IT.
ROCK-YOU'RE NOT GONNA MISS ME?
JESSICA-YES, I AM GONNA MISS YOU, BUT IT'S NOT MY JOB TO MISS YOU, SO GO.
ROCK-(HE TURNS TO LEAVE BUT STOPS)WAIT, I JUST THOUGHT OF SOMETHING.
JESSICA-WHAT?
ROCK-YOU LET THE KISS GO FURTHER.
JESSICA-WELL, I FIGURED IT WOULD PROBABLY BE THE LAST TIME WE KISSED, SO I SAID WHY THE HELL NOT?
ROCK-(SMILES)OK, I GUESS THAT'S A GOOD REASON. (HE REACHES FOR THE DOORKNOB)(EXHALES) YOU KNOW....IT'S TOO BAD THAT WE WON'T BE ABLE TO....CARESS EACH OTHER'S BODIES...KISS EACH OTHERS BODIES...(EXHALES)OH WELL, I'LL SEE YOU LATER.(HE OPENS THE DOOR AND LEAVES)
