dunderhead

Int. Someplace - Night

Two FRIENDS sit at a large booth in a dimly lit bar. Inbetween drinks they converse.


GIBBS
(smiling)
Remember when you had that dream where you forgot to wear pants to school and you were the only one who didn't notice?

KIDDS
(looking under the table)
No.

GIBBS
You told me you had that dream where you forget to wear pants to school and everyone notices but you.

KIDDS
(searching for a point to the story)
Everyone's had that dream. I don't remember what one dream you're specifically referring to.

GIBBS
(amused)
You said you didn't notice that you weren't wearing pants, but you did point out to some other kid in the hall that she wasn't wearing pants. And then she pointed out that you weren't wearing any.

A WAITRESS approaches the men.

MIZZ
You guys want another round?

KIDDS
(without looking up)
We'll take the check.

Mizz walks away.

KIDDS (Cont'd)
(to Gibbs)
And?

GIBBS
I wonder whatever happened to that girl? Pretty crazy that you both weren't wearing pants.

KIDDS
You're living in a fantasy.

GIBBS
(now also looking under the table)
Just cause you feel it doesn't mean it's there.

KIDDS
(distempered)
I have pants on, you intellectual ignoramous.
(beat)
Where's yours?

GIBBS
(feeling naked)
Hypocrite!

KIDDS
(angrily standing up out of the booth)
I need to wake up.

Kidds walks through the bar toward the exit. BAR PATRONS gasp with embarrassment as he passes by.
