Nate & Laura & How They Met


Act Two, Scene Five

Interior: Bathroom of Kiyah's apartment.  The shower is running.  Samantha enters, looks into mirror that is quickly fogging up.

SAMANTHA

Laura?

LAURA

(from shower)

Yes? What the hell, Samantha?

SAMANTHA

I needed to talk to you...

LAURA

Can it wait? I am getting shampoo in my eyes--

SAMANTHA

Privately.

LAURA

(sticks her head out of shower curtain)

Um, okay...what is it?

SAMANTHA

What's going on with you?

LAURA

What do you mean?

SAMANTHA

Um, you just broke up with what's his fuck--

Laura

Scott.

SAMANTHA

Right.  I was trying not to say the bastard's name and--

LAURA

And what?

SAMANTHA

So, like are you playing the field already?

Laura

Playing the field? What are we in an 80's sitcom now?

SAMANTHA

You know what I mean, don't change the subject.

LAURA

What exactly are you asking?

SAMANTHA

This twenty minutes of nothing last night...and I'm not referring to a bad porn or a night with my ex!

LAURA

When I talked to...Nate...

SAMANTHA

Yeah, that.  I see it, what you did there.  So, what's going on?

LAURA

Nothing is going on.

Samantha

Uh huh.

LAURA

What?!? Look, the water's going cold, can we talk later? Like go for a walk when I get out or something--

SAMANTHA

Sure.  But I'll hold you to it.

(Samantha exits bathroom.)

Laura in shower, leans into water.  Bells start ringing loudly.  She looks around.  Shot of Nate's face talking to her.  She closes her eyes and presses fingers into her temples.

LAURA

No, no, no, no, no!!!
