And Now, a Short Scene...

One of many from a movie titled The College Experience, a dull, miserably lengthy comedy.

FADE IN:

INT. APARTMENT KITCHEN. 7:00 A.M.

JOHN is groggily making himself breakfast. A PAN of leftover Hamburger Helper sits on the stove top, presumably left there by ROOMMATE #2 the night before, as that is a habit of his. A partially eaten BANANA lies on the kitchen counter in its peel, though JOHN does not know who left it there. It's really, really GROSS. Enter ROOMMATE #1.

                               JOHN
Hey, do you know whose banana that is?

                       ROOMMATE #1
What?

                              JOHN
That banana. (Motions toward BANANA)

                       ROOMMATE #1
(Looks) Oh, yeah. That's mine.

                             JOHN
That's... kinda gross.

                      ROOMMATE #1
(Jovial, worry-free) It's still good! I can still eat it! (Laughs)

JOHN has no response to this. After pulling something out of the FRIDGE, ROOMMATE #1 exits, leaving the BANANA where it lays. Completely mortified, JOHN takes his breakfast away from the counter and tries to ignore his surroundings entirely, shifting his focus instead towards moving into a SINGLE-ROOM APARTMENT after his lease is up. Still, JOHN finds that his bagel has suddenly become a tad less appetizing.

FADE OUT.
