INT. School hallway- Day

Brendan
Brain.

The Brain
Hey Brendan. It’s been awhile. Where you been eating?

Brendan
Back of school.

The Brain
Huh. Yeah, no one’s seen you. What’s it been, a couple months?

Brendan
Yeah, it’s been awhile. You gave Emily my locker number?

The Brain
A few days ago. Was I wrong?

Brendan
What?

The Brain
To give it?

Brendan
No.

The Brain
It’s been so long, I don’t know you two’s stats.

Brendan
It has been awhile. Who’s she been eating with?

The Brain
(uncomfortable)
I dunno. It’s hard to keep track.

Brendan
Is it?

The Brain
(shrugs)
Can be.

The Brain avoids Brendan’s gaze.

Brendan
uh huh.

A beat.

The Brain
She hasn’t been doing too good.

Brendan
Yea well. I’m not looking for a patch up. Em’s life is her own. But she asked for my help.

The Brain
Help with what?

Brendan
I don’t know. I don’t even care, it’s not my business. I just want to know she’s ok, so I’ve got to find her. That’s all this is.
