1. [Exterior of the top floor of a rowhouse. One window is open, and a disembodied gloved hand sticks out, holding a lit cigarette.]
BLANCA [O.S., except their hand]: When are you two gonna just move in?
2. [8-BALL is bent over looking in the refrigerator.]
8-BALL: What, sick of me?
3. [BLANCA stands beside the windowsill.]
BLANCA: Yeah, cause we both know you’re the messy roommate.
8-BALL [O.S.] Ha.
4. BLANCA: No, but you’ve been dating for a while, and—
5. 8-BALL [holding two beer bottles, closing the refrigerator door behind them]: I’ll move in with him, but he’s gotta ask me.
6. 8-BALL [walking to BLANCA]: I’m not gonna live with someone who can’t even vocalize his desires.

1. [BLANCA takes a bottle in one hand and puts their cigarette in their mouth with the other.]
BLANCA: 8, that’s, c’mon.
2. BLANCA [accepting a bottle opener from 8, O.S.]: You know that’s ridiculous.
3. BLANCA [opening the bottle]: What if he’s thinking the same thing?
4. 8-BALL: Great! Then we can be immature together.
We’ve self-selected out of the decent people pool.
5. [Exterior. BLANCA and 8-BALL are framed by the window, 8-BALL standing over BLANCA’s shoulder.]
BLANCA: I guess.
8-BALL: Stasis is so comfortable.
6. 8-BALL [gesturing with their open bottle]: You know he only knows how to cook one thing?
It’s great!
