Grosse point blank

DEBI

answers. Let's recap. Spring of '84.

Two young lovers with frightening

natural chemistry. The girl sits in

a seven-hundred dollar prom dress at

her father's house waiting for the

most romantic night of her young

life. The boy never shows up, until

now. So, what's the question?
MARTIN

Where have I been?

More like what happened? What

happened, Mr. Blank?
MARTIN

I don't know exactly. I could venture

a guess but it would sound like a

rationalization, like some sort of cop-out

... I thought you know... maybe seeing you,

some friends, my house... of course now a

7-11--
DEBI

--Torn down in the name of convenience--

--and I guess, sure, seeing you would

be part of that whole equation... I

suppose the most important thing,

really. I don't know. Anyway, this

whole thing's my therapist's idea.

It's my shrink, really.
DEBI

Ohhh. You're in therapy too, Marty?

You see someone?

Uh, no. So you're back now, a decade

late, and you’re on some sort of therapy

assigment and you want to sort things

out with me. The question now is, do

I allow you... access... to me?

MARTIN

Do you think we could leave this place?

Come on Marty. This segways so nicely

Into my 80s weekend. Should a once

broken hearted girl give a guy a second chance?

Do you think we could discuss this in a

More discreet setting?
DEBI

Marty. Do you happen to have

any deeply personal responses

you would like to share with me?

If you love something, set it free.

If it comes back to you then . . .

well . . . it’s broken

MARTIN

Are you going to the reunion?

No. I'm not going. Is that why you're

here?
MARTIN

That's part of it.

Well, you'll have a ball. You seem

to have everything everybody wants

when they go back. The car, the suit,

the watch. The look. That just leaves

the little things, like happiness,

character, point of view...
MARTIN

It's always the little things.

Yep.

MARTIN

I'm wondering how you've been. How

you. If it's possible.

DEBI

Okay. Let's catch up. You go first.

Well, there's not much to tell.

I'm sure you've done worthwhile things

in the last ten years. You've had

experiences.

Bad experiences.

You met people.

Bad people.

Watched television?

Bad television.

(amused) Jesus. Marty. You're pathetic. It

sounds like you need a Shockabuku.
MARTIN

What's that?

It's a swift spiritual kick to the

head that alters your reality forever.
MARTIN

That'd be good.

What do you want?

MARTIN

I figured I could pick you up tomorrow

Let me get this straight, are you

asking me out?
MARTIN

Yes.
DEBI

Unbelievable.
MARTIN

Seven it is.

Let me think about it... Pick me up at my

father's house at around seven. And don't

be late this time.

This night, this reunion will be an

important step in our relationship.
DEBI

You're fucking psycho.

Don't rush to judgement until all
