2.6.2007: A Boy and His Wand

The Guy sits with The Best Friend. They are looking at pictures – the promotional pictures for the London production of Equus starring Daniel Radcliffe a.k.a Harry Potter.

They sit for a moment, staring at them, a little awestruck.

THE GUY
I feel…kind of…

THE BEST FRIEND
I know.

THE GUY
…but at the same time…

THE BEST FRIEND
Exactly.

THE GUY
I mean…

THE BEST FRIEND
Oh, yeah.

THE GUY
Right?

THE BEST FRIEND
No, you’re totally right.

THE GUY
I thought so. It’s not just because…

THE BEST FRIEND
No... Not at all.

THE GUY
I thought so.

THE BEST FRIEND
Oh... hell yeah.

It’s clear they’re avoiding saying what they’re thinking. Otherwise, there would be fewer ellipses.

They continue to look at the pictures.


THE GUY
I’m just gonna come out and say it.

THE BEST FRIEND
I don’t know if you should.

THE GUY
I can’t help it.

THE BEST FRIEND
Okay. If you must.

THE GUY
I kinda wanna fuck Harry Potter.

The Best Friend nods. She knows exactly what The Guy means.

They go back to the pictures.

Lights go down.
