MY STARBUCKS CARD



DATE 1
INT. A STARBUCKS ON 87TH AND LEX. KEITH AND KRISTI ARE SITTING AT A TABLE, TALKING.

KEITH
I’m glad you agreed to go out with me. Can I offer you a latte, a tall bold, or are we gonna get crazy and go for a specialty drink like a Skinny Peppermint Mocha? And don’t worry, it’s on me.

Keith, with a big smile flashes his Starbucks card to the camera.

KRISTI
Who are you smiling at?

She looks towards the camera, confused.

KRISTI (CONT’D)
Yeah, sure just a regular coffee is fine.

KEITH
No problem, be back in a jiff.

Keith goes to the bar and orders a regular, bold coffee and a Vanilla Green Tea Misto for himself.

TWENTY SEVEN MINUTES LATER

KEITH (CONT’D)
Here we go.

KRISTI
Thanks.

KEITH
No problem, I currently have thirteen Starbucks cards in my wallet, so really it’s my pleasure.

KRISTI
Why do you have so many Starbucks cards?

KEITH
Oh ya know...........

KRISTI
Ok, well, I should get going, but this was fun we should hangout again sometime.

Date 2

A WEEK LATER

EXT. CENTRAL PARK, A BEAUTIFUL SPRING DAY

KEITH
It’s soooooooo nice out.

KRISTI
Yes, it is...... but I am so hungry. We should have brought something to eat.

KEITH
No worries m’lady, I have come prepared.

KRISTI
Oh, great.

Keith opens his Green Lantern backpack and takes out one Bacon & Gouda Aritsan Breakfast Sandwich from Starbucks, three Cake Pops from Starbucks and a Tarragon Chicken Salad Sandwich from Starbucks.

KRISTI (CONT’D)
Are you shitting me? Starbucks food again. Okay what is the deal here?

KEITH
Well, first of all you should be happy I bought you anything at all, and secondly, I don’t have a job.
(Pause)
I walk cats for Starbucks cards.

KRISTI
You walk cats.....no, that’s not weird at all, let’s be supportive here Kristi.
(pause)
I know it’s hard to find work. But don’t you get sick of Starbucks after a while?

KEITH
Of course, my teeth are stained, I have digestion problems which no amount of Pepto seems to take care of, and I have been having nightmares, in which I own a Starbucks but all the baristas are babies.

KRISTI
Oh, okay, well how about lunch is on me and we can go wherever you like.
Keith thinks for a minute.

KEITH
I could really use a gingerbread latte.

KRISTI
Ugggg.......

FOUR MONTHS LATER

Keith is coming out of the subway and bumps into Kristi.

KEITH
Hey.

KRISTI
Oh, hi Keith, whatcha up to?

KEITH
Not much, not much....you kind of disappeared from my life.

KRISTI
Oh, I got really busy. I got a small benign cyst in my lower regions. So ya know.....

KEITH
Ouch! Wow, what kind of cyst?

KRISTI
It doesn’t matter. How are you?

KEITH
I’m doing better. I don’t go to Starbucks anymore. Realized I was kind of obsessed also I had pee the color mocha......So?

KRISTI
Wow, ok, a Ricky Martin reference, I think.

KEITH
No. Anyway, I’m doing much better

KRISTI
I’m so proud of you Keith.

KEITH
Think we can start this thing again, I never gotcha off my mind.

KRSITI
That’s so sweet, well I could eat.

KEITH
Sure. I have a Dunkin’ Donuts card and they have the best sesame bagels in the world. So, no worries lunch is on me.

Keith flashes his Dunkin’ Donuts card to the camera with a huge smile.

End.
