No, I Guess Its Not

INT. GREEN FORD - NIGHT

ZEKE

You know, we are the true Lost

Generation.

ANDREA

How do you figure?

ZEKE

We’re stuck with youth - 2012 is coming

up fast.

ANDREA

I’m not buying into that B.S.

ZEKE

Whatever, your funeral - correction -

our funeral.

ANDREA

Then going to college, graduating high

school will be for nothing, should I give

up right now?

ZEKE

I don’t see why not, we’ve got what two

years, live it up. Live to feel infinite,

die golden.

ANDREA

Are you really referencing Perks and Outsiders

all at once…to me? My least favorite books,

we might as well drive off the road right now.

ZEKE

Always the pessimist. All I’m saying is live

in the moment, we’re so busy living in the

future we forget to enjoy now. Making plans is

wasting our lives.

ANDREA

Maybe I don’t want that, maybe I like structure,
maybe I want to waste my last years in school.

ZEKE

You aren’t worried at all about regret?

ANDREA

No, it sounds like a zombie apocalypse, it

will be a fast destruction, I won’t have the

time to regret.

ZEKE

Please, you’re going down the path of self- destruction. Besides what about heaven, there

you’ll wish you did more.

ANDREA

Where does it say I’m getting into heaven,

where does it say that there is a heaven?

ZEKE

Come on, we have what less than two years,

you can’t find any faith? The Big Guy won’t

choose to save you if you keep this up.

ANDREA

Come on, if there is some crazy-awesome power up

there it will either be unisex or a female,

we both know that.

ZEKE

Way to call the ALL Knowing a hermaphrodite.

ANDREA

Fine, sexless.

ZEKE

Like a eunuch?

ANDREA

Stop. You know what I mean. Think of it like

this, if you had Real Faith you wouldn’t

think the apocalypse is coming, you’d have

faith that mankind will survive.

ZEKE

The End is all about Real Faith, its time

for G-d to choose the real Chosen ones, to

reward the good.

ANDREA

Now you’re just trying to justify death, to

give it meaning. Why can’t you just believe

everyone dies. We’re just like dinosaurs,

maybe its just our time to leave.

ZEKE

No, we aren’t like dinosaurs we’re evolved.

Do you think there’ll be dinos in heaven?

ANDREA

If there aren’t then its not heaven.

ZEKE

Yo, Saul lets get some hamburgers.

Pull over.

INTR. DINER - NIGHT

ZEKE

You fail to see the true point of life.

ANDREA

Enlighten me, all knowing one?

ZEKE

Its about living, enjoying it and still

being a good person.

ANDREA

But your definition fails to define what

a ‘good person’ is.

ZEKE

Someone that doesn’t mean to hurt anyone else.

ANDREA

But what if we do, by accident. What if one

night we’re tired but we drive home anyway,

we crash, we hurt or - G-d forbid - kill

someone. We didn’t mean it, will we still

go to heaven?

ZEKE

G-d’s forgiving.

ANDREA

What if I can’t enjoy life, especially after

that.

ZEKE

I don’t know. But I do know if you’re good

you’ll get in.

ANDREA

What if we believe that what we are doing

is good but what if no one else agrees?

ZEKE

That’s not up to me to decide.

ANDREA

No, I guess its not.
