Title: “The One Where The Flashbacks Continue.”

Scene 24: Exterior / Spencer’s Backyard / Night

HARRY: (confused) “But why would I remind you of them?”

LOUIS: (affected) “I don’t know, you just do.” (stands up, nervous) “I’ll… I’ll go get a drink or something.”

HARRY: (standing up) “Hey, are you okay?”

LOUIS: “I’m fine.”

HARRY: “You don’t look fine.” (puts his hands on Louis’ shoulder)

LOUIS: “Just… let me, I need a moment.”

HARRY: “Okay but relax, would you? It’s killing me to see you like this.”

LOUIS: “Like what? I’m good, I’m just thirsty right now.”

HARRY: “You don’t need to hide it from me, you know? Things like that happen to me all the time. I’m sensitive too.”

LOUIS: “I’m not sensitive.”

HARRY: (lowers his voice, trying to amuse Louis) “That’s the good thing about hanging out with other gay guys, you know? We don’t have to put up a tough image.”

LOUIS: “That’s not what I’m trying to do.”

HARRY: “We should take a walk, come.” (Louis nods and they start walking) “I totally get what you are feeling now.”

LOUIS: “Do you?”

HARRY: “I used to get bullied as well.”

LOUIS: (incredulous) “What?”

HARRY: “I used to get bullied too… back in High School, when I was-”

LOUIS: (pissed, cuts him off) “No, you didn’t.”

HARRY: (frowning) “Yes, I did.”

LOUIS: (dismissive) “You don’t know the first thing about being a victim of bullying.”

HARRY: (frowning) “And you know that… because?”

LOUIS: (his breathing gets heavier, sweating, nervous) “I need to use to the bathroom.”

HARRY: “Hey, relax, are you okay? Don’t say that you are because you don’t look okay at all.”

LOUIS: “I just need to… pee.”

HARRY: (smiling, playful) “I’ll come with.”

LOUIS: “No, please don’t. I need to be alone for a few minutes.”

HARRY: (pouting) “Are you sure?”

LOUIS: “Absolutely sure.” (walks away very fast)

HARRY: “I’ll wait for you right here. Want me to get you a drink?”

LOUIS: “Yeah, whatever, see you around.”

HARRY: (very confused, to himself) “What the hell?”

Louis walks as fast as he can, bumping a few people on the way. He looks affected, suffocated and desperate to get to a safe place where he can be alone. He accidentally bumps into a RANDOM GIRL 3, spilling her drink all over the floor.
