BRANCHES

JORDAN I just find it difficult to relate with the people around me.

EXT. HOUSE PARTY - NIGHT Cut to another house party late at night. There are about fifteen people outside an ill-kept backyard. Clouds roll in. BECK Looks like it is going to rain. JORDAN

Yeah it looks that way. It's a change of pace for Los Angeles. Hold on, who is that?

BECK

Who?

JORDAN (Pointing to a girl)

Her.

BECK I think her name is Ashley or something. You interested? JORDAN I don't know.

BECK Come on man just Go talk to her. Jordan walks over to her. Ashley: tall, blonde and pretentious. She does not notice him until he walks behind her and says her name awkwardly. She turns around with a puzzled look on her face as if she got a bad grade on a homework assignment. JORDAN Hey, looks like it's going to rain soon.
