Script

Emily (Voice over): I’ve always been unlucky in-love, and I guess this time wasn’t any different even if friends try to set me on dates. Sometimes the guys make it to the second date… and some don’t.

-Listen in on date, Emily and dude are laughing

Emily: Ha-ha, do you want a glass of water?

Guy 1: (starts getting emotional) that’s what she always ordered!

Emily stands there, freaked out not knowing what to do. FF to next date

Guy 2 knocks on door with bouquet of flowers, Emily answers, guy tries to keep making moves on Emily throughout the date, and she gets freaked out and runs off eventually.

Voice over: So this guy, he seems promising. It’s my fourth date with him and he’s done nothing to put me off of him, so far.

-Date is on going with non-diegetic music in the background-

Pulls out strawberries and feeds them to Emily. Waits until she’s eating them and then pulls out a book of baby names and wedding ring

Guy 2: So, which one first baby? –Wriggling his eyebrows-

Emily runs off, choking on the strawberry

Voice over: as you can see, it didn’t work out

Next day, at a coffee shop with Chloe

Chloe: this one last guy, I swear, he’s not that bad! Plus, he’s meeting us here!

Emily: No, no, no, I can’t be dealing with another one of your whack-job friends!

Chloe: Bu-

Emily cuts Chloe off by getting up and running into Bill, him spilling coffee or something on Emily

Billy: Oh my God! I’m so sorry!

Emily: O-oh, it’s okay. It’s not you; I’m just bad luck.

Chloe: And Along Came Billy! This is the “whack-job” I wanted you to meet!

Emily: Thanks for that, Chloe.

Billy: I don’t know; seeing as my coffee is gone, want to come with me to get more?

Emily smiles and nods and walks out of the coffee shop.
