BFF screenplay

B.F.F. (Better Fucking Forget it)

by Michelle Stiles

EXT. FRONT YARD - DAY

CORRIN (21) passive-aggressive, skinny red-head with glasses talks to FELICITY (21) cool, pretty brunette with bangs. They are best friend's forever. 

CORRIN

Hey Chicky.

FELICITY

Oh...hey.

CORRIN

Why didn't you text me back on Saturday? What? So you're not talking to me now?

FELICITY

I was on vacation spending time with my sister.

CORRIN

You mad at me?

FELICITY

Umm...

CORRIN

C'mon tell me. What's going on with you lately?

FELICITY

You know what? Yes I am!

CORRIN

What the fuck?

FELICITY

You heard me. It hurt my feelings that you bailed on our trip last minute.

CORRIN

Oh please! I'm not even having this conversation with you. Bye!

FELICITY

K bye!

CORRIN

Wow, that was a fast reply! You grow some balls all of a sudden?

FELICITY

I've always had balls honey!

CORRIN

This is bullshit.

FELICITY

What? So now my feelings are bullshit? Some friend you are!

CORRIN

Just because I didn't go to the stupid beach with you?

FELICITY

This isn't some last minute escapade. We've been planning this trip for a year now.

CORRIN

So what?

FELICITY

So what?! I was looking forward to it and you didn't even let me know until the night before that you weren't coming.

CORRIN

I told you I had to go to my cousin's grad party.

FELICITY

No. You didn't HAVE to go. You asked your daddy. You're a grown-ass woman and can make your own decisions!

CORRIN

What the fuck?

FELICITY

You also pulled this crap when I invited you to come visit me at school. And for awhile now you've been so distant. You never return my calls and you always have some lame ass excuse. At least I try!

CORRIN

You know I don't like talking on the phone.

FELICITY

What are you eight years old?!

CORRIN

Oh please. You never show up on time when we hang out.

FELICITY

At least I let you know in advance that I'm gonna be late. And that's another thing, I'm so sick of you insulting me about that. Sorry I actually have a life that doesn't revolve around you!

CORRIN

What are you the fucking queen? You're not perfect yourself sweetheart!

FELICITY

I know I'm not perfect. But I don't use my flaws as a crutch!

CORRIN

I don't use my flaws as anything.

FELICITY

Yes you do. I've been through much worse shit in my life than you ever have. Unlike you I grow from it and I learn!

CORRIN

Are you fucking kidding me? Well, if I'm such a crappy person, why are we even friends?

FELICITY

I've tolerated it because I care about you. But this is the last straw! If you can't appreciate my effort then I'm done!

CORRIN

This is absurd! You're yelling at me like a bad dog.

FELICITY

Well, I know a bitch when I see one!

CORRIN

Woah you need to cool your pants honey, or I won't wanna talk to you anymore!

FELICITY

Fine, then don't!
