INT. STUDENT UNION CAFETERIA - DAY

Andrew, Sarah, and Edison are at the cafeteria in the student union getting food. They stand in a buffet line.

EDISON
You've never seen The Dark Knight?

SARAH
Nope.

EDISON
But it's like one of the greatest superhero films of all time.

SARAH
It's just another Batman movie.

EDISON
Just another Batman movie! Andrew back me up.

ANDREW
It really is a good movie.

SARAH
I've already seen a Batman movie. If you see one then you've seen them all.

EDISON
Which Batman movie?

SARAH
I think it was called Batman and Robin.

EDISON
You poor girl.

SARAH
What?

ANDREW
Batman and Robin is considered not just the worst Batman movie but also the worst superhero movie ever.

SARAH
I kinda liked it.

EDISON
Who hurt you?

As the three go down the buffet line, Sarah and Andrew put a moderate amount of food on their trays. Edison's tray is filled with junk food.

SARAH
Aren't you gonna get some fruit?

EDISON
Why?

SARAH
Oh I don't know. Maybe because it's healthy?

ANDREW
She's right dude. You haven't exactly been eating healthy lately.

Cut to Edison sitting in his bed eating potato chips and donuts.

Cut back to the cafeteria.

EDISON
Whatever. I'd rather eat delicious crap than poor tasting healthy food.

The three sit at a table.

SARAH
You should come to the gym with me.

EDISON
Which one?

SARAH
The one on campus.

EDISON
There's a gym here?

SARAH
Oh my gosh. Look just come with me, please? I'll show you some exercises I do and some healthy meals I make.

EDISON
Fine. But Andrew has to do it with me.

ANDREW
Fine with me.

INT. UNIVERSITY GYM - DAY

Andrew, Sarah, and Edison are in the university gym. They are dressed in gym clothes.

SARAH
Let’s start with the treadmill.

Edison gets on the treadmill. He presses the increase speed button. It becomes too fast and he flies off the treadmill.

SARAH
Let’s try the bench press.

Edison is on the bench press lifting it with ease.

EDISON
Told ya I was strong.


SARAH
You have it set to one pound.

EDISON
Higher reps on low weight builds muscle quicker, I read it somewhere online. I think.

INT. ANDREW AND EDISON’S DORM - DAY

Andrew, Sarah, and Edison sit in their dorm. Sarah sits across from Andrew and Edison. Between them is a tray of healthy food.

SARAH
Ok Edison. Instead of junk food, you have other delicious and healthy options. Like cauliflower. Here try it.

Edison picks up a piece of cauliflower and eats it. He starts gagging.

EDISON
Are you trying to kill me?

ANDREW
Oh come on it can’t be that bad.

Andrew picks up a piece of cauliflower. He eats it and starts gagging.

ANDREW
Oh wow that’s bad.

SARAH
Fine. Here try some carrots.

Edison eats some carrots.

EDISON
It’s like the more I chew, the more there is.

SARAH
That’s it I give up. Enjoy destroying your body.

Sarah storms out.

INT. SARAH’S DORM - NIGHT

Sarah sits at her desk doing homework. There is a knock at her door. She gets up and answers it. It is Andrew.

ANDREW
Hey.

SARAH
Hey.

ANDREW
Can I come in?

SARAH
Yeah.

Andrew enters.

ANDREW
You tried your best.

SARAH
I know. It’s just....it’s just... nevermind.

ANDREW
What?

SARAH
Lately I’ve been doubting my major. You know nursing. It’s just if I can’t take care of someone like Edison, then how can I take care of anyone?


ANDREW
Uhhh well first off, I wouldn’t consider Edison a prime example of a nursing patient and second, of course you’re doubting your major. I’m doubting my major. Turns out business is actually difficult.

SARAH
Thanks. You’re a good friend.

Andrew face turns to disappointment at the sound of friend and then returns to normal. He smiles.

SARAH
Hey you wanna watch a movie?

ANDREW
Sure, which one?

Sarah walks over to her purse and pulls out “The Dark Knight”.

ANDREW
You bought it?

SARAH
I thought I might give it a try. Wanna watch it?

ANDREW
Yeah.

Andrew and Sarah sit at her desk. She puts the movie in her computer. At the same time Edison is doing homework at his desk. He reaches over for a snack and picks up a bag of potato chips. He is about to open it but hesitates. He looks at the chips. He puts them aside and pulls out a bag of carrots and begins eating them. Cut back to Andrew and Sarah who are about halfway through the movie.

SARAH
Wait so how did he get his scars?

ANDREW
No one knows. That’s the beauty of it.

SARAH
I still think Batman and Robin is better.

Andrew and Sarah laugh. Andrew looks at Sarah with love.

END.
