I had to split this scene into 2 so that I can add two songs. Just work with me here.
SCENE SIX
(CASPER and GABE in the mall food court. Examining the pill.)
CASPER: I hope youre worth four hundred dollars.
GABE: Four hundred and one. Dont forget the Mountain Dew.
CASPER: If this is real...my whole life could change. (Beat.) We should split it. You helped me get it. We should both benefit, right?
GABE: I dont think it works that way. Besides, I like knowing that when youre cool, youll owe me.
CASPER: All right. Here goes...everything.
(He puts the pill on his tongue, swallows it with the Mountain Dew.)
GABE: How does it taste?
CASPER: Minty.
GABE: How do you feel?
CASPER: Like... (Long pause.) A chump.
GABE: Nothing? At all? Try to say something cool.
CASPER: I think I just blew my bar mitzvah money on a Wintergreen Tic-tac.
GABE: Yeahh... Not cool.
CASPER: Please leave me alone to mourn in my chili fries, forever.
(Beat.)
GABE: Five minutes.
CASPER: Where are you going?
GABE: Check it out. Guy in Spencers Gifts is hooking me up with a case of Crystal Pepsi. Its like regular Pepsi. Only clear.
CASPER: Wasnt that discontinued in the 90s?
GABE: Thats what makes it so awesome.
(GABE exits. CASPER looks up to see SHAWN enter with FELIX.)
SHAWN: Shouldnt we wait for the rest of the cast?
FELIX: Yeahh... Were not meeting the rest of the cast. I figured we could get to know each other. Alone. Thats why Im taking you to one of my favorite spots in the universe. Sbarro—
CASPER: Shawn!
SHAWN: Casper! I didnt see you there.
FELIX: Yeah, youre kinda hard to notice. (to SHAWN) The best part, they let you pick whatever you want—
CASPER: Wait! ...Theres something I need to tell you.
FELIX: Now?
CASPER: I... I...
(Suddenly, CASPER seizes up, his head wracked with pain.)
CASPER: Owww!
VOICE: Target male: inaccessible.
SHAWN: Casper?
CASPER: OW! What the HELL?!
VOICE: Calibration in process. Please excuse some mild discomfort.
CASPER: MILD?!?
SHAWN: Casper, whats wrong?
FELIX: Dude, the freaks freaking out.
VOICE: Calibration complete. Access procedure initiated.
CASPER: No, wait, Im fine, I just—
