INT. COLLEGE CAMPUS - DAY
Roxie Sharpe, a beautiful blonde college sophomore, is walking across campus with her boyfriend Jonah Powers, the lead singer of a popular punk band.
ROXIE: (frustrated) Ugh, I'm so annoyed.
JONAH: (concerned) What's wrong?
ROXIE: (exasperated) My little brother Edwin is coming to college here.
JONAH: (surprised) No way! That's cool!
ROXIE: (unimpressed) No, it's not cool. He's going to be everywhere, getting in the way.
JONAH: (laughing) Ah, come on. It'll be fun to have him around.
ROXIE: (skeptical) You don't understand. He's always been a pest. Now he's going to be here, following me around, and ruining everything.
CUT TO:
INT. ROXIE AND EDWIN'S DORM ROOM - DAY
Roxie is trying to study, but Edwin, her little brother, keeps interrupting her.
EDWIN: (excitedly) Roxie, can I come to your band's next show?
ROXIE: (irritated) Edwin, I'm trying to study.
EDWIN: (ignoring her) Oh, cool! Is Jonah going to write a song about me?
JONAH: (entering the room) Hey, Edwin! What's up?
EDWIN: (teasingly) Hey, Jonah! Roxie's being a party pooper.
Roxie rolls her eyes, annoyed that Edwin is now monopolizing Jonah's attention.
FADE TO BLACK.
INT. ROXIE AND EDWIN'S DORM ROOM - NIGHT
Roxie and Jonah are sitting on the couch, smoking a bong.
ROXIE: (giggling) Huh-huh, this is good stuff.
JONAH: (laughing) Yeah, dude!
Edwin enters the room, looking disapproving.
EDWIN: (lecturing) You guys know that pot is bad for you, right?
ROXIE: (irritated) Edwin, mind your own business.
EDWIN: (persisting) No, seriously. It's a gateway drug. And it's bad for your lungs.
JONAH: (laughing) Dude, you sound like a PSA.
EDWIN: (serious) I'm just trying to look out for you guys.
ROXIE: (sarcastically) Oh, great. Now you're our mom?
EDWIN: (frustrated) Roxie, come on. I'm just trying to help.
JONAH: (teasingly) Yeah, Edwin, you're a real buzzkill.
Roxie and Jonah continue smoking, ignoring Edwin's lecture.
EDWIN: (exasperated) Fine. But don't say I didn't warn you.
Edwin storms out of the room, leaving Roxie and Jonah to continue their smoke session.
FADE TO BLACK.
INT. COLLEGE MUSIC VENUE - NIGHT
Roxie and Jonah's band is performing on stage. Roxie is singing and playing guitar, while Jonah is playing lead guitar.
ROXIE: (singing) Come on, everybody, let's go!
JONAH: (playing guitar) Yeah!
Just as the band is getting into the groove, Edwin appears on stage, holding a sign that reads "Pot is bad for you!".
EDWIN: (yelling) Roxie, Jonah, stop promoting drug use!
ROXIE: (irritated) Edwin, what are you doing?
EDWIN: (lecturing) You're influencing all these young people with your music!
JONAH: (laughing) Dude, get off the stage!
Edwin refuses to leave, continuing to hold up his sign and shout his message.
ROXIE: (frustrated) Security!
The security guards rush on stage and escort Edwin off.
EDWIN: (yelling) You're going to regret this!
The band continues to play, but Roxie and Jonah are visibly annoyed.
JONAH: (laughing) Well, that was a buzzkill.
ROXIE: (smiling) Yeah, let's just focus on the music.
The crowd cheers as the band launches into their next song.
FADE TO BLACK.
INT. COLLEGE MUSIC VENUE - NIGHT
After the show, Roxie and Jonah are packing up their gear.
ROXIE: (laughing) Can you believe Edwin?
JONAH: (shaking his head) I know, right? What a weirdo.
ROXIE: (smiling) I'm just glad security got him out of there.
JONAH: (teasingly) Yeah, before he started preaching about the dangers of rock 'n' roll.
Roxie playfully hits Jonah on the arm.
ROXIE: (laughing) Shut up.
Just then, Edwin appears, looking smug.
EDWIN: (self-righteously) You guys are just trying to avoid the truth.
ROXIE: (exasperated) Edwin, what are you talking about now?
EDWIN: (lecturing) I'm talking about the negative influence you're having on these young people.
JONAH: (laughing) Dude, we're just a band. We're not trying to influence anyone.
EDWIN: (disapprovingly) Well, you should be more responsible with your music.
Roxie and Jonah exchange a frustrated glance.
ROXIE: (firmly) Edwin, we appreciate your concern, but we can handle our own music and our own fans.
EDWIN: (huffily) Fine. But don't say I didn't warn you.
Edwin storms off, leaving Roxie and Jonah shaking their heads.
JONAH: (laughing) Well, that was fun.
ROXIE: (smiling) Yeah, let's just focus on the music and ignore Edwin.
The scene fades to black as they continue to pack up their gear.
FADE TO BLACK.
INT. ROXIE AND EDWIN'S DORM ROOM - NIGHT
Roxie is sitting at her desk, doing her homework. Edwin enters the room, holding a flyer.
EDWIN: (excitedly) Roxie, check this out!
ROXIE: (sighing) What is it, Edwin?
EDWIN: (proudly) It's a flyer for a campus event - a seminar on the dangers of substance abuse.
ROXIE: (unimpressed) Oh, joy.
EDWIN: (encouragingly) You should come, Roxie! It would be really good for you.
ROXIE: (sarcastically) Oh, yeah, because nothing says "fun" like a seminar on substance abuse.
EDWIN: (ignoring her sarcasm) And I'm going to be one of the speakers!
ROXIE: (laughing) You're going to be a speaker? Edwin, you're a freshman. What are you going to talk about?
EDWIN: (proudly) I'm going to talk about the dangers of marijuana.
ROXIE: (teasingly) Oh, this should be good.
EDWIN: (serious) Roxie, this is important. You should take it seriously.
Roxie rolls her eyes and continues doing her homework.
FADE TO BLACK.
