The Scriptwriter Chronicles: MEN ON THE ROAD (Part 2)

Whoops! was supposed to post this part last week wasnt I? I tell you what, i'll post Part 2 today and Part 3 on Thursday, deal?

Part 2 - Too Cool for Radio

Julian makes his way back to the car and slams the door. He sits inside and grimaces while he takes off the top of his adidas tracksuit. Mumbling to himself, he starts the car and begins to drive...

JULIAN

3 Minutes yeah? ok! ok! This is some bulls&!%. How she gonna disrespect me in front of everyone like that? Acting like Im incompetent. Yeah real funny Ha Ha Ha No! I know Im good. She doesnt even count the foreplay or nothing. It was just that one time! Now she's tryna blow it out of proportion. It happens...and I eat alot of mints and go to the gym, plus I had a cramp so you know, it can take it's toll. I aint going back! No way! She wants to act like that, go ahead. AND WHY AM I TALKING TO MYSELF!?!

Julian stops at the traffic light and stares at his phone. He contemplates for a small while...after a few shakes of the head he picks up the phone and calls Jane. The phone goes straight to voicemail. Julian sighs

JULIAN

Im not going back. I just wanna get the boys and make my way

Julian eventually gives in and illegally turns back. He's now on route towards his house. He switches on his radio and skims through the stations

RADIO DJ

The number 3 song of the week is 3 minutes by Jules Ceasar

Julian switches station

RADIO DJ2

OK Lisa you've extended your time. You now have to answer 10 questions in 3 minutes It shouldnt be too difficult, although I have seen adverts that last longer so good luck

Julian switches the station

TONY

Ok we're live. It's 10:32am on the Morning show with Tony and Mark. If you've just joined us we're discussing fools in love. Caller number 2 you're through. Speak on it.

JANE

Hello this is Jane

JULIAN

Jane!?

TONY

Jane?

JANE

Jane

JULIAN

What the F...

MARK

Ok Jane, what's your story

JANE

Cant believe Im saying this

JULIAN

That makes 2 of us!!

JANE

Been married for two years now and I have 2 wonderful children. The first year was all I could have ever wished for but it's just not the same anymore. He doesnt take my needs seriously, takes everything as a joke but what really gets to me is the quality time, or lack of it.

MARK

So lets just say the honeymoon period is evidently over

JULIAN

Yes, well done Frasier

MARK

Have you tried any attempts to you know, spice up your life. Remember we're on the morning show so be careful with your answers

JULIAN

Yes, very careful

Julian's eyes keep switching focus between the road in front of him and the radio

JANE

Yeah all the time, we've tried a few things to spice up the relationship but it doesnt seem to work anymore. I mean how long can you put up with the physical part of a relationship if it only lasts three minutes

MARK

Whoa! The DJ's chuckle while Julian's bottom jaw makes connection with the floor Well I cant speak for your husband on that part of the situation because each man is to his own...

TONY

Performance

MARK

Yeah thats the morning word, Thanks Tony

TONY

No problem Mark. So Jane just to save time worrying about syllables what's your husband's name?

JULIAN

Dont say it Jane!

JANE

My husband's name?

TONY AND MARK

Yeah!

JULIAN

Oh My God. Jane I've taught you better than this, please dont say it!

Julian pulls up outside his house, he jumps out the car and runs towards his front door. As he opens the door he sees Jane on the phone

JANE

His name is Julian

JULIAN

Noooooooooo!

Jane Jumps and drops her phone. They stare face to face...

PART 3 COMING SOON.....
