what happened to me on halloween: in script form.
EXT. CHINATOWN - OUTSIDE OF NEW GREEN BO RESTAURANT - NIGHT
AJ, wearing an orange t-shirt and a black hoodie as his sole contribution for Halloween, waits for his take-out order ofzha jiang mian outside New Green Bo restaurant in Chinatown. He is approached by a young couple who are clearly out-of-towners.
BOYFRIEND
'Scuse me.
AJ
Yeah?
GIRLFRIEND
Can you tell us where we can find some sushi?
AJ is taken aback by this question. He wonders to himself, is he on Punk'd? These people really don't know the difference between Chinese and Japanese food? He stares at the two of them for a few awkward moments.
CLOSE UP - AJ
AJ
(incredulous)
Um. You are aware you are in Chinatown?
GIRLFRIEND
But they have that here sometimes.
A quick montage of random people asking for sushi in Chinatown. The store owners all shrug or shake their head no.
AJ
Huh. I really don't think so.
BOYFRIEND
Do you know where we can find sushi?
AJ
Uh. The closest spots I can think of are in the East Village.
Do you know where the East Village is?
BOYFRIEND
I think so.
AJ
Okay, then try...
WIDE SHOT - OUTSIDE OF NEW GREEN BO RESTAURANT
AJ is giving directions with plenty of hand gestures. As the couple scurries away in their search for raw fish we see AJ shaking his head ever so disapprovingly. Just then, he is motioned inside the restaurant to pick up his order.
FADE TO BLACK.
