THE TOWN - Rev. 5/20/10 (Buff Reshoots) 63.<br />

CLAIRE<br />
Why do you look horrified. You<br />
weren’t the only hockey player in<br />
the nineties with a mullet.<br />
DOUG<br />
Oh, yeah. Boys and Girls.<br />
CLAIRE<br />
It’s under a local heroes banner --<br />
He is a little embarrassed.<br />
CLAIRE<br />
When I said I knew you, they acted<br />
like I was dating Tiger Woods. It<br />

CLAIRE<br />
Apparently you were ‘drafted.’<br />
I’m pretty sure they only do that<br />
to the good players.<br />
DOUG<br />

got a second chance and I blew<br />
that, too. When it was over for<br />
me I wasn’t smart enough to see it<br />
or classy enough to accept it. So<br />
I did a lot that make things<br />
worse. I look at that picture and<br />
see a kid who thinks he knows<br />
everything and is about to throw<br />
it all away.<br />

quality.<br />
DOUG<br />
Can I be your boyfriend?<br />
She smiles, surprised.<br />
CLAIRE<br />
I haven’t had a ‘boyfriend’ since<br />
sixth grade...<br />
<strong>The</strong> gap between them closes, and the kiss, once it comes,<br />
is at once both soft and electric.<br />
