A Day in Fiance (Student Film)
EJ De Jesus for Devon [deh-vin]
(African American male, early 30s) A very average guy. He is tired and wants to go home. Devon is sick of Randy’s shit and doesn’t see why any of this is a big deal. Like a medium, chill voice.
INT. FINANCIAL OFFICE, MEETING ROOM- EVENING
RANDY
Okay well, Devon, I went to law
school, so shut the fuck up.
DEVON
Says the intern.
Randy turns to Verónica, ignoring Devon.
RANDY
Secondly, Verónica, if he can play
soccer, he can walk. No one leaves
until my client’s satisfied!
DEVON
But, I am satisfied. Just let us go
home
RANDY
Devin, Devin, Devin, don’t be
modest. Randy will take care of ya.
After you begged me, your best
friend, to do this, it’d be rude
not to.
DEVON
We aren’t friends and I didn’t beg
you.
INT. FINANCIAL OFFICE, BREAK ROOM- EARLIER THAT AFTERNOON
Devon opens the fridge. There’s lots of gross and weird things in there. Devon SIGHS. Randy walks by.
RANDY
What’s wrong?
DEVON
It’s nothing. Just... my lunch is
missing is all.
RANDY
What in the actual hecks?! Devon!
What do we do?!
DEVON
Uh... nothing?
Randy frantically paces. Devon stands, unamused.
RANDY
(shocked; frantic)
Nothing?! There’s a thief among us,
Dee-Dawg!
(quick; soft)
Can I call you Dee-Dawg?
(shocked; frantic)
We gotta find the thief! Just sit
and stay Dee-Dawg, Randy’s here!
Randy runs off. With little energy, Devon YELLS to him.
DEVON
(decrescendo)
Don’t! Please! And, don’t call me
Dee-Dawg... ugh whatever.
He shuts the fridge, SIGHING.
RANDY
Okay, so far, we’ve learned...
The dreadful atmosphere fizzles out once more.
RANDY (CONT'D)
... Absolutely nothing.
DEVON
False. We learned that everyone who
works here is a fucking snake!
VERÓNICA
Says Devon, the man who snooped
through our emails!
DEVON
It was an accident!
