A Girl in ski mask holding a knife surprise attacks a Guy walking down the street, blasting music on his headphones.

GIRL
Give me your wallet, and nobody gets hurt!

Guy bumps into her. The knife falls to the ground. They both reach for it at the same time. Their hands touch. They look into each other's eyes.

GIRL
Oh sorry aha.

GUY
No, I’m sorry.

They laugh.

GUY
It's like Knives Out 4 over here! What with
the knife and all.

GIRL
Ring ring Rian Johnson calling!

They laugh again.

GUY
I'm Matt by the way.

GIRL
Wow, I've always wanted to meet a Matt.

GUY
Really? There's like tons of us.

GIRL
I hate to intrude, but can I ask what
you're listening to?

GUY
Oh, right, the headphones. It's this super
cool indie band. Their music literally
changed my life. Here.

Guy passes the headphones.

Music cue: "NEW SLANG" by The Shins

She listens for a while, then takes off the headphones.

Fade out music.

She tries to hand them back, but Guy is lost in her eyes.

GUY
Sorry, I got lost in your eyes.

GIRL
Oh haha the ski mask really makes 'em pop.

GUY
Totally.

A beat.

GUY
So what brings you to the city?

GIRL
I uhh–

GUY
Sorry that was nosy! I'm so nosy.
Forget I said it.

GIRL
No, it's fine. I love noses.

She traces his nose with her finger.

GIRL
I'm here doing street crimes. Basic assault stuff.
But I'm not really any good at it.

GUY
Bullshit! I bet you're super good at street crimes.

GIRL
I barely know how to use this thing.

She holds up the knife.

GIRL
I wish someone would just show me.

GUY
This is gonna sound crazy, but I'm actually
really good at knives.

GIRL
Really?

GUY
Yeah, I've seen Knives Out 1 and 3. Mind if I...?

Music cute: "UNCHAINED MELODY" by Righteous Brothers

Guy demos how to use a knife a la the pottery scene in Ghost.

GUY
Put your hands here. Just let the handle
slide between your fingers. Then rock back
and forth, back and forth. Then you
lock eyes with the person you're stabbing
and say everything you wanted to say.

Two onlookers walk by.

ONLOOKER 1
What's going on here?

ONLOOKER 2
I don't know. It looks like some
kind of fucked up version of Ghost
starring Patrick Swayze.

ONLOOKER 1
I guess it's true what they say.
Romance is back in the city!

GUY and GIRL continue dancing, twirling around each other.

Fade out music.

GUY
I never really do this, but I was just
wondering if you maybe wanna grab drinks later.

GIRL
Yeah, I would love that.

GUY
Okay great. 9pm at that bar
where they shot 500 Days of Summer?

GIRL
First round’s on me!

GIRL holds up his wallet and walks off.

GUY
Goddammit. She took my wallet.
(to GIRL)
HEY!

GIRL
What?

GUY
I just wanna take another look at you.

Guy takes out his phone and calls 911.

GUY
Hello, 911? I ... met someone!!

Blackout.
