MIIB

(Emi heads for the Training Center; Irvine relaxes against a wall, hat over his eyes.)

Irvine: *stands up* Heeeey....

(He stares at the ceiling in thought.)

Irvine: Amy!

Emi: Emi.

Irvine: Ah.

Emi: *looks to the left*

Irvine: Sooooo... Where ya going?

Emi: Uh, the Training Center.

Irvine: Really? Yeah, okay, nice, nice... *clasps hands together*

Emi: .......

Emi: Welp...I'll be going now.

(Emi carefully starts for the clearing in the Training Center. Irvine runs up behind her and pushes her into a giant bush.)

Emi: Hey - OW!!!

(Irvine runs off)

(Zell is in the Training Center shadow boxing, but stops when he hears someone approach.)

Zell: Irvine? What the hell are you doin' here??

Irvine: Me? Oh, I just thought I'd stop by...

Zell: Where'd Emi go?

(Irvine takes a seat in Emi's lawn chair)

Irvine: Uh...She couldn't be here today.

(Irvine scopes out the training center.)

Zell: *relieved sigh* Good.

Irvine: *turning back* Hmm? What'dya say?

Zell: Um...I said...

(Long pause)

Zell: Ah, dammit! I can't think of anything that sounds like "good" that would make you think I said something else!

Irvine: Hey, don't worry about it.

Zell: Oh...okay.

Irvine: So I hear a lot of chicks watch this show.

Zell: *looks around frantically* Show? Show? What show?

Irvine: The review thing, man!

Zell: Oh, yeah, yeah, that - this.

Irvine: ...You okay? 'Cause I wouldn't mind doing the whole thing by myself. *winks at camera*

Zell: *clenches jaw* No, I'm alright.

Irvine: *shrugs* Fine. Now, what are we reviewing?

Zell: "We"?

Irvine: Well that girl ain't coming!

(Zell groans loudly, but Irvine chooses to ignore him.)

Zell: MIIB.

Irvine: M...IIB?

Zell: Men in Black 2.

Irvine: Oh. Hmm. I was kinda hoping for something a bit more...steamy.

Zell: What?

Irvine: Y'know...

Zell: *confused* No, I don't think I do.

(Long pause)

Irvine: Never mind.

Zell: Okay... *shakes head* MIIB. Well, it's a sequel.

Irvine: *grins at camera*

Zell: *ignores Irvine* And it's pretty good, but as always the original's still the best, y'know?

Irvine: *continues grinning at camera*

Zell: Some of the parts in the movie seemed rushed, but maybe it's just me.

Irvine: *continues grinning at camera*

Zell: Overall, it was a good watch.

Irvine: *continues grinning at camera*

Zell: But, uh...more like a renter.

Irvine: *continues grinning at ca-*

Zell: WOULD YOU STOP THAT?!?

Irvine: What??

Zell: You're flirting with the movie camera, man! That's just wrong!

Irvine: I am not! ...I'm simply sending out a warm hello to all the lovely ladies watching this show.

Zell: ......

Zell: What the hell?

Irvine: Alright, look, I'll help you out, okay?

Zell: But you didn't even know what MIIB stood for!

Irvine: I do now.

Zell: *rolls eyes*

Irvine: I'm not leaving.

Zell: *cracks knuckles*

Irvine: I'm still not leaving. And remember, I have a gun.

Zell: ....Damn!

Irvine: *tips hat* So like Zell was saying... If you've seen the first, chances are you'll wanna see the 2nd. And you shouldn't be too disappointed. It's a solid sequel.

Zell: I hate you.

(Emi trudges over to them, various branches and leaves sticking out of her clothes.)

Emi: *stares at Irvine*

Irvine: *finds sudden interest in the ground*

(Zell turns toward Emi.)

Zell: You're too late, anyway.

(Emi breathes a heavy sigh then walks away. Irvine smiles in relief.)

Zell: I feel you had something to do with it, but I'm not even gonna ask.

Irvine: Thanks.

Zell: Yeah.

Irvine: ...Are we supposed to go into more depth with the movie?

Zell: I don't care. The old way seems to be working fine.

Irvine: So now what?

Zell: We should probably turn the camera off.

Irvine: ......

Zell: ......

Irvine: Your life kinda sucks.
