The Shape of Things Adam Lines

Start of Scene

…hey, Evelyn. Hi. Jenny, hello.

Evelyn/Jenny: Hi, Adam. Hello.

I didn’t know you guys were…

Evelyn: I invited her.

That’s alright, then…

Jenny: I like your new jacket! Phil told me about it…

Oh, right. Yeah. It’s…new.

Jenny: And your nose! God, you okay?

Yep! ‘Course…it was nothing.

Evenlyn: You fell?

…yeah. Anyway… You don’t drink coffee…

Evelyn: It’s not. it’s decaf…

That’s still coffee.

Evelyn: Really? You don’t like caffeine, either, Jenny? Did you know that, too, Adam, that Jenny doesn’t like caffeine?

No. I didn’t know that…

Evelyn: Jenny was just saying that she thinks you’re great… I mean, doing great things with yourself.

Yeah? Thanks, Jenny…

Jenny: I said that you guys are…

Forget about it.

Evelyn: It’s true, I’m exaggerating. She said, and I paraphrase, “He’s changed.” But she implied for the better…

Well, I agree. I have. And again, thank you.

Evelyn: I think you’ve changed, too, Adam. A lot.

Yeah? How’s that?

Evelyn: Well, I mean, it’s obvious, all the minor things are pretty obvious, but in subtler ways as well… you’ve gotten cuter. And stronger. More confident. And craftier…

“Craftier,” huh?

Jenny: I’m sorry, am I missing something?

I’m not sure… (to evelyn) Evelyn, what’s up?

Evelyn: Sometimes it’s hard to read me. Know when I’m joking…

Very hard.

Evelyn: …it healed well, don’t you think?

Jenny: Yes.

Do you guys wanna salad or something? I’m hungry…

Jenny: I’m okay. Your nose looks… how much weight have you lost?

Not that much, really.

Evelyn: His journal… a record of his progress that he’s keeping. Twenty-one pounds as of…

…last Friday. Yeah.

Evelyn: Cosmo sotry in the making, huh?

Jenny: Yep.

It’s good, yeah, I’ve been keeping at it…

Evelyn: She knows, Adam, she already said you’ve “changed.” And I already agreed. We’re past that…

Okay, I’m, like, totally lost here…

Evelyn: Adam’s journal. I mean, it’s a veiled entry but I think it’s you…

Evelyn…

Jenny: …why’s that? I mean… Adam?

You’re not. It's… she’s…

Evelyn: Something about a meeting… and a drive after, in your cute little V-dub…

What’re you saying?! Jenny, there’s not any…

Jenny: You know what? It’s pretty late, I should get…

No, don’t go… Why are you doing this?

Evelyn: We should just put it out there… I’m very open, and I just feel that…

This is innappropriate, okay?

Jenny: …Adam?

She’s making that up… she’s…

Evelyn: Am I?

Yes!

Evelyn: Then set the record straight…

I don’t wanna do this right now.

Evelyn: Then you’re never gonna believe the rest of this…

Evelyn, let’s just drop it, okay? If you’re angry with me, alright, but this is not…

Jenny: Fine… Adam wrote something in his journal, obviously, and I told Phil about…

Jenny, I didn’t…

Jenny: …what?

That’s b*llshit…

Evelyn: No, that’s getting even. Unless you guys have something else to tell me. Meaning “the drive” …

We didn’t go on any…
