[Picturehouse Cinema, Central London, 7:28 pm, S 17/09/16]

PHIL: (walking in with Dan) "Have you and Rhia sorted out your issue?"

DAN: "Our issue." (laughs) "Yeah, I found out what was wrong."

PHIL: "What was it?"

DAN: (shrugs nonchalantly) "She didn't like the type of condom I used."

PHIL: (disgusted, sees he's lying, doesn't push it) "So, you're talking again?"

DAN: "Yeah. But we're not fucking anymore and she's annoying."

PHIL: "Well, there she is." (points at Rhia standing alone near the ticket desk) "Let's go."

DAN: (groans) "Do we have to?"

PHIL: "Yup." (walk over together) "Hey Rhia."

DAN: "Hi."

RHIA: "Hey. Jess and Ethan went to get the tickets. Erin went to the toilet. Anyway how are you guys?"

DAN: "Good, you?"

RHIA: "Well my day hasn't been great. I accidentally--"

DAN: "Okay, I didn't ask for your life story."

PHIL: (trying to hold back laughter, scolding) "Dan!"

DAN: (shrugs) "What?"

ETHAN: "Hey guys."

JESS: "Hiya."

PHIL: (wide smile) "Hey."

DAN: (rolls his eyes) "Hi, Ethan."

JESS: (looks down, sad) "Oh."

ERIN: "Hey, is everyone here now?"

RHIA: "Can we go get popcorn? I have been looking forward to this for so long."

JESS: (counting on her fingers) "Ok that's five."

ETHAN: (passing around the popcorn) "Uh, there's one missing."

DAN: (sarcastic) "Good counting, Jess."

JESS: "Oh, I'm so sorry guys."

ETHAN: "It's ok, babe."

PHIL: "I don't mind sharing with someone."

DAN: (gives his to Erin, to Phil) "I'll share with you."

RHIA: (looks shocked) "Are you sure?"

DAN: (forcefully) "Yes."

ERIN: "Alright lets go."

DAN: (worker tears their tickets, as they walk into screen 5) "What is this even about?"

ETHAN: "I don't know, but suposedly it's really good."

ERIN: "Bagsie sitting next to Phil. His movie commentary is hilarious."

DAN: "I have to sit next to Phil. We're sharing popcorn."

ERIN: "Ok, I'll sit on the other side?"
