Max stalker Flashcards
First line
Would it be lame if…(beat). Never mind. No, not never mind - can I kiss you?
Wow, um… (Jer leans in, and Max joins in. They kiss, it’s sweet). It’s been a minute since I’ve done that. I need to get back into practice.
I know. I can barley contain myself around you. My life is so dull and invisible, but you stand out. You’re so visceral with your tatoos, and your bloody apron, your bespoke butcher shop and your over-sized night shirt.
Wait, sorry. Hold on. What, what did you just say? How do you know what I wear to bed?
Oh. No, it’s not - - ok, you’re gonna laugh because it’s totally not a big deal.
Ok
But, um. If I happen to find myself in the alley at night, I can see in your window. Sort of.
Ok, that um…that feels kind of strange.
No, no no. It’s cute, it’s cute. Really in fact - - ok I’ll tell you this is, this is definetley cute. If I can see what you’re watching I’ll pull up the same thing on my laptop and then it’s like we’re watching it together. See…cute. I mean, I have to use my imagination to fill in the rest, like , like what your pillow smells like. I can’t waith to smell it for myself.
Um, no. No, um…I think that you should leave.
But we were having such a nice time. (reaches for Jer’s hands)
No (pulls hands back). Max, I’m uncomfortable. And I would like for you to go. Now.
Why are you runining this Jer? I was trying to learn everything I could about you. You should be flattered. You were suppposed to be flattered! ( smashes a wine glass) Stuipid Max. I’m bad, you shouldn’t have done that Max, now you’re gonna have to clean things up again.
Again? What are you even ta - - (Jer stops mid sentance when Max picks up a large butcher knife). What the fuck Max?
I feel like we got off track here. And the only way to get things back on track is if we start over so let’s, let’s just start over ok? Just with less TALKING!
With a knife?
I’m not gonna hurt you Jer. You are the one that’s making things hard! (another swipe, Jer grabs a chair for protection) I love you. I would love you so much more if you’d stop talking back.
Jer shoves the chair at Max who yells, Jer then runs into the back room
