AIDs script

LUNCH IN THE UNION

Logan and his new girlfriend are sitting at a table eating lunch
and laughing by the windows in the Union trying to get to
know each other more after their relationship started rather
quickly the night before when the night up in the bedroom.
Logan is brought back to earth when he sees Mark across the
room eating lunch.  Mark's presence reminds Logan of last
week when Mark sneezed in Logan's mouth when they were
passing by on another by the doors in the Union.  Logan is
nervous that he may have given his new girlfriend AIDs
because the previous week Mark had sneezed in his mouth.  He
doesn't know how to tell her.

Laughter
Wide: camera has logan, emily, and half the room in focus
from about 30 feet out from the table.
Zoom: Camera zooms in slightly then transitions to a new
camera set up at the table.

LOGAN
So what kinda music do you like?
As emily begins to speak the camera slowly zooms in on
logan's face and another camera looks from over his shoulder
to see what he is looking at.

Mark is sitting at a table eating his lunch.

EMILY
Well I like classic rock, jazz,
blues, hip hop (start naming bands
EXCEPT QUEEN)...

EMILY'S VOICE STARTS TO FADE OUT AND LOGAN BEGINS TO HA

FLASHBACK 1
Tracking: Camera is following mark from outside the union

Mark sneezes a few times and scratches himself as he is walking
towards the union.  As Mark gets near the door we see Logan
coming towards the doors to come outside; he looking at his
phone.  As they approach the doors it is clear there will be
a collision of some kind.  Logan opens the door and Mark
sneezes right in his face as they bump into one another.
MONTAGE: Different angles of mark sneezing in logan's face
and different angles of logan's reaction to getting sneezed
on.

Logan reacts with disgust that a stranger would sneeze in
his face and keep walking without apologizing.

Mark sniffles and wipes his nose as he continues to walk but he
looks back at Logan with a faceless expression on his face.

Logan looks at his hands as a look of fear hits his face, he has
another flashback

FLASHBACK 2

Logan's sister/mother is warning him about catching AIDs.
CLOSE UP: Logan's Sister or mother is talking directly into
the camera as though the camera is logan.

SISTER/MOTHER
You can get AIDs from anything,
blood, urine, saliva.

FLASHBACK 1

A look of horror is on Logan's face as his slowly falls to the
floor.

in the frame.

LUNCH IN THE UNION

Emily has been talking this whole time, but it isn't until she
says her line that Logan really starts to pay attention.

EMILY
Oh oh oh, I really love queen. 
Freddy Mercury is possibly the
greatest singer of all time.  I
mean his vocal range is incredible...(continues
on talking about how amazing Freddy
Mercury is)

Logan is awakened by the Freddy Mercury comment and starts talking
to himself inside his head.

LOGAN VO
Didn't Freddy Mercury die of AIDs?
Ohhhh Shit he definitely did.

Logan's eyes widen when he realizes that Freddy Mercury did die
of AIDs.

EMILY
What about movies? Have you ever
seen RENT?

Logan again is taken off guard by the Emily mentioning RENT.

LOGAN
Yeah yeah I have.

LOGAN VO
AIDs

EMILY
It's my all time favorite
movie...(trails off talking about how
great RENT is)

Logan begins to have an internal dialog with himself but it looks
as though he is listening to what Emily is saying.

LOGAN VO
How do you tell someone you have
AIDs?

Logan looks across the room again where Mark is sitting
still eating his lunch.  His sandwich falls apart.

LOGAN VO
Look at him over there eating his
AIDs sandwich.  Probably doesn't
care that he gave me AIDs, or that
I gave it to Emily last night.
Thanks asshole, you enjoy that AIDs
sandwich while you still can.

Logan looks back at Emily.

EMILY
Did you see that guy walk by just
now I think those AIDs would look
good on you.

LOGAN
What?!

EMILY
Those shades, didn't you see the
guy? Nevermind.

Emily starts sneezing like crazy. Logan has a flashback to Mark
sneezing and wiping his nose. This time the flashback shows
Mark face in a close up rather then wide shot.

Logan can't take it anymore.

LOGAN
I have AIDs!

EMILY
What?

LOGAN
I have AIDs...
