triangle Script 대본 Roteiro Texto



Oscar: All right, talk me through your thought process. You were wearing a vest, I asked you if you wanted to get a drink at Langford's you said yes, then you changed into a different vest.

Felix: You know, I actually prefer the term "waistcoat." And historically...

Oscar: Nope, that's enough.

Felix: What's wrong? Oh. Running into the ex-girlfriend. That can always be awkward.

Charlotte: Hi, Felix.

Felix: Hello, Charlotte. Good to see you.

Charlotte: Where are you off to?

Felix: Oh, just, uh, going to get a drink. By myself. I'm drinking alone.

Charlotte: Okay, have fun. Tell Oscar I said. hi.

Felix: I will. If I'm not blotto.

Felix: Oh, look. It's Oscar the Crouch.

Oscar: All right, look, here's the deal. It's been three months since Charlotte and I "pressed pause," or whatever she called it, and now whenever we see each other, it's weird. I don't know what to do with my hands or my arms or my nether regions.

Felix: So you just hide?

Oscar: Or run. Or open an umbrella in front of my face. I've got options. Oh, no, here she comes.

Charlotte: Oscar?

Oscar: Hey

Felix: Oh, wow! There he is right there.

Oscar: So, what do you got going there, a little mail? Little mail action. I'm a male. Spelled differently. Doesn't matter.

Charlotte: Well, I should get going.

Oscar: Yeah, you, too.

Felix: Oh, Oscar, look, I know this is hard for you, but you have got to move on and see other people. Come on, we'll talk about it over drinks.

Oscar: I can't. I'm stuck.

Felix: This is the second time today that we've had to do this.

Girl: This was fun.

Oscar: Yes, it was. I had a plan to bail on you that I never had to execute.

Girl: You know, I'm gonna have to thank Teddy for setting this up. It's exciting, having drinks with a celebrity.

Oscar: Oh, please! We're just like you.

Girl: Well, thank you for the best night I've had in a long time.

Oscar: Me, too.

Emily: Wow. You guys really hit it off. You just sat there laughing and talking for hours at one of my only tables on the busiest night of the week. Well, obviously you liked her.

Oscar: Yeah. She's beautiful, bright, knows what a celebrity is.

Emily: She sounds perfect.

Oscar: Yeah. It's just... she's not Charlotte.

Emily: No, no, no, no, no, no, no. We're gonna need this. Oscar, Charlotte was great, but you can't keep pining after her. You're wasting your life.

Oscar: Says the girl who's passing up a chance to go to London to work here for 15% tips.

Emily: You hog a table all night and only leave 15%?

Oscar: The hamburger was cold and, frankly, I didn't love your attitude.

Emily: Look, it's not every day that something amazing comes along. And you can't expect to be happy if you just keep living your life in limbo while opportunities pass you by.

Oscar: Yeah?

Emily: Yeah. So I want you to stop feeling sorry for yourself, get off your ass, and take charge of your life.

Oscar: You're right. Thanks, Emily.

Emily: No, seriously, get off your ass. I need this table. I got bills to pay.

Oscar: Charlotte.

Charlotte: It's good to see you not hiding behind a desk. Or an umbrella.

Oscar: You knew that was me?

Charlotte: It was a clear umbrella. So, what are you doing here?

Oscar: I realized you don't get a lot of shots at something like this, and I don't want to let it slip away. I see you're leaving the door open.

Charlotte: I guess I am.
