EXT. ARCADE - LAS VEGAS - 16TH SEPTEMBER, 2017
Honey looks upon the arcade in her white fedora hat, a denim jacket over a white blouse. Her pants are black denim jeans with ripped knees in two straight slits. Lastly she wears a pair of chuck taylor sneakers with her trusty backpack on. Just then she sees Jack walk down the street to see her. Honey waves big time to him, as a male sees Honey waving to him, not Jack and waves back.
Jack waves back to Honey and looks mildly confused for a second when he sees someone else waving at her. Jack shows up wearing a New Yankees Baseball cap, plain black t-shirt, blue jeans and his favorite Air Jordan 11 Concords.
Jack Santore:
"For a moment I thought you were meeting someone else.”
"For a moment I thought you were meeting someone else.”
Jack laughs and gives Honey a hug. Honey has to go on her tip toes for the hug and squeaks a happy chortle.
Jack Santore:
"Good to see you. And thanks for inviting me.”
"Good to see you. And thanks for inviting me.”
HONEY:
“Um, Jack. Jack Santore, did you want to, like, buy some yummy nachos first or, like, just chat before playing?”
“Um, Jack. Jack Santore, did you want to, like, buy some yummy nachos first or, like, just chat before playing?”
Honey says licking her lips, definitely wanting the nachos as they ate but she was being quite polite and letting Jack pick first.
Jack Santore:
"We can definitely get nachos. That sounds awesome.”
"We can definitely get nachos. That sounds awesome.”
Jack had talked to Honey about the nachos a few days ago and he has been craving nachos like crazy since then.
Jack Santore:
"Which way do we…”
"Which way do we…”
Jack points in random directions, looking for Honey to show him where to buy these nachos. He'd never been here before, after all. Honey points like a compass to the nacho counter in the back.
HONEY:
“That way. Let's go!”
“That way. Let's go!”
Honey says taking off with his wrist in her hand as they head inside and navigate the regulars, the first timers, families as Honey stops like a skidding car in front of the counter.
CUT TO:
INT. ARCADE
HONEY:
“One nachos please. With, um, cheese and, like, guacamole and some yummy jalapeños please.”
“One nachos please. With, um, cheese and, like, guacamole and some yummy jalapeños please.”
Honey says to the friendly food and beverage staff who gets Honey’s nachos together. She pulls out some money, enough for two.
HONEY:
“And you? ”
“And you? ”
Jack smiles politely at Honey.
Jack Santore:
"Oh, thank you. I'll have what she's having. ”
"Oh, thank you. I'll have what she's having. ”
Jack says to the friendly man at the nacho counter. Jack practically salivates at the smell of the nachos from the counter. Honey did such a great job of getting him to crave them. He couldn't wait to eat them.
F&B Staff:
"Two Green Mountains. ”
"Two Green Mountains. ”
He says referring to their orders. Honey pays him.
HONEY:
“Keep the change…. Declan. ”
“Keep the change…. Declan. ”
Honey says spying his name tag and receives the nachos. She takes her first bite and almost sparkles from the tang taste. Shoulder rocking up and down unilaterally. She then spies and empty table and walks over with Jack.
HONEY:
“What's it like being a giant? ”
“What's it like being a giant? ”
Honey says seeing her little petite height as normal and people taller, as tall as Jack quite gigantic.Jack takes his first bite as they have a seat at the table. He makes sure to get as much guac on the chip as possible and he's instantly happy that they chose to get nachos first.
Jack Santore:
"Um, giant? Well I am a little tall. ”
"Um, giant? Well I am a little tall. ”
He laughs and has a seat at the table.
Jack Santore:
"I don't really think about it anymore. I've been about this height since high school. I'm definitely not the tallest person, but I suppose I'm pretty tall. ”
"I don't really think about it anymore. I've been about this height since high school. I'm definitely not the tallest person, but I suppose I'm pretty tall. ”
Jack smiles at Honey before having another nacho.
Jack Santore:
"Do you think I'm a giant?”
"Do you think I'm a giant?”
Honey smiles and nods.
HONEY:
“Yes, like, you're much much taller than me. And I'm, like, just right. ”
“Yes, like, you're much much taller than me. And I'm, like, just right. ”
Honey says looking up at him before taking a seat and starts to dive into munching her nachos.
HONEY:
“So, um, …”
“So, um, …”
Honey tries to be a guy and guy talk, speaking in a gruff with her shoulders all square and sniffs.
HONEY:
“What's happening, Jack?”
“What's happening, Jack?”
Honey says trying her best to do guy talk.
Jack chuckles before taking another bite of the nachos that he can't seem to get enough of.
Jack Santore:
"Um…”
"Um…”
Jack taps a finger on his chin as he finishes that bite.
Jack Santore:
"I'm doing okay. Things can get lonely, I suppose. So I'm glad you invited me out today. ”
"I'm doing okay. Things can get lonely, I suppose. So I'm glad you invited me out today. ”
Jack has the habit of sharing his feelings quickly. This is no exception today as he tells Honey of his loneliness and then regrets doing so.
Jack Santore:
"What's going on with you?”
"What's going on with you?”
Jack quickly attempts to take the attention off of himself.
HONEY:
“Um, well I have my BIG Rey de Reyes match soon. Like, it's in a triple threat match. Then a BIG tag team match. But I'm also, like, a cheerleader now for the Cinncinatti hit girls my Cousin Trixie is playing for. So, like, lots of stuff. ”
“Um, well I have my BIG Rey de Reyes match soon. Like, it's in a triple threat match. Then a BIG tag team match. But I'm also, like, a cheerleader now for the Cinncinatti hit girls my Cousin Trixie is playing for. So, like, lots of stuff. ”
Honey says eating down another two nachos stuck together.
Jack is almost exhausted just listening to the amount of events that Honey has coming up.
Jack Santore:
"Wow. You have a lot of things coming up. I don't even know how you keep up.”
"Wow. You have a lot of things coming up. I don't even know how you keep up.”
Jack takes a jalapeño and places it right on a chip before eating it.
Jack Santore:
"I just really hope I get a title shot soon. Well, if I could only stop this annoying losing streak I've been on.”
"I just really hope I get a title shot soon. Well, if I could only stop this annoying losing streak I've been on.”
Jack chuckles but deep down he's not happy about having lost yet another match.
Jack Santore:
"But helping some friends get revenge on The Messiahs felt pretty good. ”
"But helping some friends get revenge on The Messiahs felt pretty good. ”
Jack eats the last two nachos as he wipes his mouth and tosses his napkin into the empty plate. He's a guy after all and guys eat fast.
HONEY:
“I know Cousin Trixie can help you. Maybe you can, like, ask her for pointers and stuff. I am for my tag title match.”
“I know Cousin Trixie can help you. Maybe you can, like, ask her for pointers and stuff. I am for my tag title match.”
Honey becomes mesmerised by the army game whirring as two kids get some tickets from it. She becomes strangely attracted to it as Jack can see.
Jack Santore:
"Shall we then?”
"Shall we then?”
Jack motions to the game with a tilt of his head.
Jack Santore:
"This will be the time you'll have to be my teacher. Not very good at these things.”
"This will be the time you'll have to be my teacher. Not very good at these things.”
Jack smiles as he stands up and tosses their empty nacho plates into a trash can. He holds his hand out to help Honey up and walk with her over to the game. Honey picks up her gun and puts her helmet almost on so she can see Jack do the same.
HONEY:
“Money goes in here.”
“Money goes in here.”
Honey says to herself as she puts in a few quarters and jumps back as the game whirrs at her. Jack chuckles and Honey chortles but not sure why. She clicks a few options before pulling down her helmet.
CUT TO:
INT. VIRTUAL REALITY
Honey sees Jack in an army man gear with a headset radio on holding a gun and herself in the same get up.
HONEY:
“I'm Action Honey!”
“I'm Action Honey!”
She says pulling the gun up to pose but fires the gun by accident and moves away startled by her gunfire.
HONEY:
“Oops.”
“Oops.”
Just then they become under fire and Jack takes Honey quickly behind two big oil drum cans for cover.
Jack Santore:
"Okay, I suppose we should cover each other? ”
"Okay, I suppose we should cover each other? ”
Jack isn't really sure he's just going with what he's seen in movies and TV shows.
Jack Santore:
"I'll fire and you stay hidden. Then we switch.”
"I'll fire and you stay hidden. Then we switch.”
Jack pops up long enough to fire a burst of ammo at their attackers before he ducks back down. Next up Honey pops up and fires at their attackers before dropping back down. They do this a few times that their attackers actually begin to retread.
Jack Santore:
"Wow. It's actually working. This is pretty fun. Honey looks at her gun and says to it. ”
"Wow. It's actually working. This is pretty fun. Honey looks at her gun and says to it. ”
HONEY:
“I'm going to call you, um, Polly.”
“I'm going to call you, um, Polly.”
As Jack heads forward a little and Honey scuffles after him. Honey is wide open and nearly caught by a hidden guy who Jack spots and takes out with a quick shot and Honey panic fires after him at the wall beside him.
HONEY:
“I think we got him. OK, so, we have to be careful, like, there's sneaky people too.”
“I think we got him. OK, so, we have to be careful, like, there's sneaky people too.”
Honey says looking through Polly’s aim glass to search around. She spots behind a box an enemy trying to get his gun to work and Honey gets him in the shoulder.
HONEY:
“Eat Polly’s peppering!”
“Eat Polly’s peppering!”
Honey says doing a few more and she pulls off the helmet to discover they're mutated humans.
HONEY:
“Ewww! It's gooey.”
“Ewww! It's gooey.”
Honey says showing Jack her hand was slightly stuck to the helmet. The helmet falling down to extend the gooey blood glue sticking her glove to the helmet.
Jack Santore:
"What in the world…”
"What in the world…”
Jack looks at the sticky substance with confusion in his eyes.
Jack Santore:
"Who would do such a thing?”
"Who would do such a thing?”
Honey waves her hand about with a very serious look as she finally flings the helmet away.
HONEY:
“Yuck. ”
“Yuck. ”
Honey says doing a bunny ear thinking it was a military hand gesture as they approach a saloon. Honey on the right, Jack on the left.
HONEY:
“Where do we go now? ”
“Where do we go now? ”
Honey says hearing gnattering from behind the doors from the mutant guards.
Jack Santore:
"Let's go in there.”
"Let's go in there.”
Jack motions to the saloon and opens the door for Honey to enter and follows in after her. He approaches the bar and nods to the barkeep.
Jack Santore:
"I'll take a shot of whiskey and a beer. Honey?”
"I'll take a shot of whiskey and a beer. Honey?”
He asks Honey what she would like. Honey looks confused at him.
HONEY:
“No time for whiskey!”
“No time for whiskey!”
Honey says diving to the ground as they become under fire yet again. Honey crawls under the stairs where the guards are shooting and looks at Polly with a nod before pointing the gun up and closes her eyes tight and fires up through the wood to let Jack have a chance to take them out. Jack tosses back the shot of whiskey in haste before he takes his cue from Honey and fires back at the onslaught.
Jack Santore:
"This is fun!”
"This is fun!”
He smiles at Honey as he continues to fire his weapon at the three enemies who stand on the steps above Honey and let's them fall down. Jack then keeps watch so Honey can come out, Honey comes out, dusts herself off and the two proceed quietly up the steps until Honey is struck by a door opening by a kick, sending her down as two mutants step out.
Jack Santore:
"Honey!”
"Honey!”
Jack goes to help Honey up then turns around, pointing his gun at the two mutants. He gives Honey a chance to get her gun and get situated. Honey stands back up and is mighty impressed as Jack somersaults to withdraw two pistols and lands on his knees, pistols to the mutants stomachs and pulls the triggers. Honey picks up Polly and clubs them down.
HONEY:
“Take that.”
“Take that.”
Jack is helped up by Honey who gives him a smile when Honey takes a bullet to her leg and ducks for cover as Jack fires expertly at the shooter. The shooter goes for cover but just catches the bullet. Honey holds her leg.
Jack Santore:
"Oh no, we've been hit!”
"Oh no, we've been hit!”
Jack crawls over to Honey and rips a piece of his shirt off and ties it around her wound. He winces in pain at being hit himself but expertly treats himself as well by tying a piece of shirt as well.
HONEY:
“Thank you, Jack.”
“Thank you, Jack.”
Honey has her shirt bandage tied again to make sure it's tight.
HONEY:
“OK.”
“OK.”
With a breath, Honey stands back up and the two begin to walk down the upstairs hall to the room where Jack locates a nifty smoke pellet he tosses into the room.
HONEY:
“Good thinking, Jack! Let's go Polly!”
“Good thinking, Jack! Let's go Polly!”
Honey charges in with her gun Polly to spin as she opens the door and ducks down to let Jack have his shots while Honey takes aim at the enemies too. They take out enough while enduring two shots each. Honey takes hers to the arm and shoulder.
Jack Santore:
"We’re taking damage, Honey!”
"We’re taking damage, Honey!”
Jack winces in pain at taking another shot in his shoulder as he fires at the mutants with his good arm. He takes out more of them so Honey can fire back herself.
Jack Santore:
"What should we do?”
"What should we do?”
Jack looks to Honey for answers. He's never played the game and looks to his good friend to get them out of a sticky situation. But just then a grenade rolls out to them both, they catch a look at it before it explodes. Honey and Jack both crumble into shards as the game ends.
CUT TO:
INT. ARCADE
Honey removes her helmet and puts it back on the stand. They see they didn't really score very well but Jack’s ingenuity got them tickets, as twenty five of them print out.
HONEY:
“Nice job, partner.”
“Nice job, partner.”
Honey high fives him before squeaking at the sight of the tickets printing out. She'd never seen that before.
Jack Santore:
"Nice job to you too. That was fun. Hey look!”
"Nice job to you too. That was fun. Hey look!”
Jack takes the tickets and shows them to Honey proudly. He looks around at the other games with enthusiasm.
Jack Santore:
"What should we do next?”
"What should we do next?”
He looks at Honey with a smile, his tour guide for the day, so to speak. Honey takes them and stashes them in her backpack.
HONEY:
“I think, like, we should go and maybe do some..”
“I think, like, we should go and maybe do some..”
Honey is immediately silenced by the whirring of Dance Dance Revolution.
HONEY:
“Next time! We should play that!”
“Next time! We should play that!”
Jack Santore:
"Oh man, I’m a terrible dancer…”
"Oh man, I’m a terrible dancer…”
Jack chuckles before he does his best to find another game or some tasty treats to keep/ Honey from wanting to play a game he feels even less prepared for than the one they just finished playing.
HONEY'S TICKETS - TOTAL: 5
