PHIL barges into his roommate’s room.
PHIL
Hey. Heyhey.
Look. I’m sorry.
I’m sorry.
I’m really sorry.
I know I’m interrupting
I know I’m barging in on a – clearly - personal moment.
And like – dude – honestly – way to go.
Like. Awesome. I am so happy for you.
I’m sorry to… objectify for a second, I don’t mean to, I’m a feminist I promise but dude – she’s -
GREAT JOB.
She’s.
Wow.
Anyways.
Back to the point.
The reason I came in here.
Barged in here.
The reason I barged in here.
Is because…
I have a final tomorrow.
Like a really big final.
And I’m trying to sleep.
And you guys are…
Not helping me sleep.
And look – I’m not asking you to stop.
Good god, I’m not the devil.
Don’t stop.
I don’t know when he’ll ever be able to –
Keep going. Please.
By all means.
He needs this.
But also, I need sleep.
So if you could just… keep it down for me.
Like – dude – it sounds like you’re doing a GREAT job. And just keep doing a great job for her sake.
And for your sake too, so hopefully she’ll be down to –
Sorry sorry sorry sorry.
Can you just be a bit more quiet.
Have a good time.
Have the best time.
Keep going as long as you all want.
But just at a volume that I can get some rest and I can avoid getting kicked out of school.
Ok?
Ok.
Cool?
Cool.
Thank you so much.
Have a great night tonight.
Truly.
And again.
Dude.
Congratulations.
I’ll leave you to it.
Sorry to disrupt.
PHIL gives his roommate two thumbs up and slowly closes the door behind him.
