INT.THE BAR – DAY

Farkle and Zay are sitting for the table.

ZAY

What kind of gift do you want to buy her?

FARKLE

I don't know.But I want it to be special.

ZAY

Special means a lot of things.

FARKLE

I'm afraid I'll have to ask my dad for loan.

ZAY

Don't be stupid.

FARKLE

What else should I do?

ZAY

I'd give you but I don't have much money.

FARKLE

It's okay.

ZAY

If you ask him for loan and he gives you,you're screwed.

FARKLE

I know,but I don't have other choice.

ZAY

You could ask your mum,but that's almost the same thing.

FARKLE

After everything that he made me go through,he doesn't have right to do anything.

ZAY

Why don't you just buy her some simple cheap gift?

FARKLE

I can't do that.

ZAY

Why not?

FARKLE

It's her birthday.It's special day.

ZAY

Okay.

FARKLE

I need to find way to buy her the gift that will be enough for her.
