Another scene from That Girl Is On Fire, Mentally

INT. THE DROWNED SCOTSMAN BAR & GRILLE – NIGHT

Jorge is sitting in a booth with BRENDA, the girl with the dead father who may or may not have killed himself. They’re watching a frat guy hit on Mandy at the bar.

BRENDA
Look at her go.

JORGE
You think she’s into him?

BRENDA
No way. Look at her posture.

Brenda’s right; Mandy’s shoulders are pitched back away from the guy.

JORGE
Why doesn’t she just tell him she’s not interested?

BRENDA
Doesn’t he deserve a little conversation for trying?

JORGE
What?

BRENDA
When you hit on some girl at a bar-

JORGE
If.

BRENDA
If you hit on some girl at a bar, even if she’s not into you, wouldn’t you want her to be nice about it, talk a little?

JORGE
NO. Absolutely not. Why?

BRENDA
So your feelings aren’t hurt?

JORGE
Look, here’s my ideal world.

INT. THE DROWNED SCOTSMAN BAR & GRILLE – IDEAL WORLD – NIGHT
Twenty or so girls are standing in a semicircle around the entrance. Jorge walks in.

Eight of the girls raise green flags; eleven of the girls, red. Beat. The last undecided girl gives him a yellow.

BRENDA
That would mean girls would have to carry around three little flags when they go out.

JORGE
Work with me here.
