Scene 1.
Begins with a pan away from Kevin and Jake, and slowly pans towards them and stops with them framed mid conversation to begin the scene.

Kevin: I have no clue what you’re talking about.

Jake: There is just no way that he could hit an exhaust port without his computer!

Kevin: You’re missing the point he guided it in

Jake: Well seems all a bit silly that an exhaust pipe was the problem… How are you going anyway?

Kevin: Yeah I’m ok man. I think I need to get about a bit more you know? Start meeting new people again.

Jake: well yeah that would be a good idea, none of the guys have seen you in months! It’s like you were giving Hide-and-seek tips from bin laden.

Kevin: Dude, I was on my honeymoon by myself.

Jake: who goes on a 4 month honeymoon to Coffs Harbour??

Kevin: …. I had no travel insurance and I wasn’t going to New Zealand and running into her.

Jake: At least in New Zealand they know how to take care of a ring.

Kevin: Well whatever I’m back and I’m fine now I just want to do something.

Jake: well you could take up an instrument, or Photography?? A lot of bored mums take that up?? or come do hip hop yoga with me?!

Kevin: …You do Hip Hop Yoga…?

Jake: yeah man its great! Just down Exeter st, next to the cinema. There’s so many fit girls there and I’m usually the only guy you’ll love it. Great way to meet chicks.

Kevin: Isn’t that a Gay bar?

Jake: No man that place went out of business last year, they’ve turned it into a yoga studio.

Kevin: I’m not looking to meet other girls yet I just want to meet new people.

Angled shot of kelvins eye’s looking past Jake behind him across the room.
new camera angle sees a young girl sitting with her friends and laughing to subtly turn and briefly lock eyes with the camera to then turn her attention back to her friends.
Camera angle back to Kevin and his eyes as his attention is brought back to Jake counting their conversation.

Jake: Whatever who cares, Girlfriend – friends with benefits – downward dogs – its all good.

Kevin: Hold on just a minute

During this time Kevin has seen a girl from across the bar get up and leave her wallet on the table so he gets up to go grab it and return it to her.
Kevin catches up to her outside or just before she leaves the establishment.

Kevin: Excuse me. Sorry excuse me miss… Sorry Ugh, Hi, you dropped this.

Genevieve: Oh my thank you so much you’re a life saver!! I would have died without my credit card!!

Kevin: Uh yeah can’t forget Mr. Plastic Fantastic!…

Kevin: ahh well how how about a coffee sometime?

Gen: oh no, I was thinking more like your friend-… uh actually yeah sure sounds great.

He looks up

Jake: What was all that about??

Kevin: I just got that girls number *Gleefully*

Jake: What by stealing her wallet??

Kevin: returning it.

Jake: sure mate, whatever works for you. But seriously come with me tomorrow morning to yoga and just give it a try.
