sidewalk darling, KELSEY,chats with journalist


EXT.       SIDEWALK   -    DAY

Fiona and Corrie sandwich Kelsey on the sidewalk bench. All are in their 20s. Kelsey is wearing his trademark black shorts and white V neck T shirt. Journalist from Sidewalk TV interviews them.

JOURNALIST
Kelsey, every day we see you hanging out with these two beautiful women on the sidewalk bench, just watching others go about their business....

KELSEY
                                                                  (cheerfully)
......Yes.

JOURNALIST
The question on our viewers’ lips is...

CORRIE
(defensively)
.......When is he gonna get a job?

JOURNALIST
ARE both of them going out with you?

FIONA
(jokingly)
He comes with us everyday....to this bench



KELSEY
(chuckles)
I’m surprised you asked me that question. Other sidewalk journalists never  ....walk away without asking me that same  question.

JOURNALIST
Are you gonna answer the question, Kelsey?

KELSEY
No!

JOURNALIST
Please answer the question.

FIONA
(cackling)
He just did!!!!!

KELSEY reaches for POPCORN and 3 BINOCULARS in his bag beneath the bench. He hands Corrie and Fiona binocular each and poured popcorns in their free, outstretched hands.

JOURNALIST
Really.!! Anyway, one final question, before we go....

CORRIE
Make damn sure!


FIONA
You see, we hang out on the sidewalk to have fun watching people, not to be bored by journalists.

CORRIE
OUCH!

KELSEY
(reassuringly)
Pay them no mind...Go ahead and ask your final question..

JOURNALIST
Thank you...What do you hope to achieve by wasting your free time laughing at people on the sidewalk, who are making something of  their lives.

KELSEY
Nothing!

JOURNALIST
Nothing? Aren’t you simply just wasting yours and these two women’s’ precious time?

TOURISTS take pictures of Kelsey and his sidekicks.

KELSEY
(dismissively)
Far from it! Every day tourists take photographs of us, or with us. Locals are cottoning on too. They always ask us for hugs. I’m now a cultural icon on the sidewalk. That’s what I set out to do...Now, if you’ll excuse me, we wanna watch this beautiful development at the sidewalk stall.
