SCENE 7

ACTOR : CHAN, KONG, JOE

SETTING : IN KOPITIAM'S KITCHEN.

DURATION : 2.5 MINUTES

SHOT 103 : KONG : JOE, YOU REALLY NOT FAIR ONE LAH. BOTH CHAN AND I TREATED YOU SO WELL, YET YOU DID NOT INVITE US TO KARAOKE YESTERDAY NIGHT.

SHOT 104 : CHAN : THAT'S RIGHT. YOU BETTER DO SOMETHING BEFORE WE ARE REALLY ANGRY.

SHOT 105 : JOE : I AM VERY SORRY. IT WAS NOT PLANNED. NEXT TIME, OKAY?

SHOT 106 : KONG : WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S NOT PLANNED?

SHOT 107 : JOE : WELL, I WAS TALKING TO MARIE IN HER ROOM...THEN STEVEN COMES IN...THEN SUSAN CAME AS WELL. ERR...I GOT TO DO SOMETHING TO COVER MY SECRET.

SHOT 108 : CHAN : OH...SECRET...I CAN IMAGINE THAT...

(IMAGINATION : JOE AND MARIE ARE DATING IN THE ROOM, VERY ROMANTIC SETTING, DIMMED LIGHTS, AND SOFT MUSIC. THEY ARE DANCING, KISSING. SUDDENLY, STEVEN COMES IN. THEY FOUGHT FOR MARIE. AT THE SAME TIME, SUSAN CAME, CALLING FOR MARIE FROM DOWNSTAIRS. SO, JOE GOES DOWN AND SUGGESTED TO GO FOR KARAOKE TO COVER THE TRUTH.)

SHOT 109 : JOE : NO...THAT'S NOT WHAT HAPPENED...ALTHOUGH I WOULD RATHER IT TO BE TRUE...(VOICE SOFTENS AS HE SAYS)

SHOT 110 : KONG : NOW I GET IT, YOUNG MAN. YOU LIKE MARIE!

(JOE NODS HIS HEAD SOFTLY.)

SHOT 111 : JOE : BUT IT WAS NOT LIKE WHAT YOU HAVE JUST SAID. NOTHING HAPPENED! I WAS JUST DISCUSSING WITH MARIE ABOUT MY PARTICIPATION FOR THE STAR SEARCH. I JUST DON'T WANT THEM TO KNOW THAT I AM DOING THIS JUST TO IMPRESS MARIE.

SHOT 112 : CHAN : OH...NOW YOU ARE LETTING THE CAT OUT OF THE BAG. YOU REALLY THINK MARIE WOULD FALL FOR YOU?

SHOT 113 : JOE : THAT'S WHY I WANT TO PARTICIPATE THE STAR SEARCH. I WANT TO SHOW TO HER THAT I AM NOT A LOSER AFTER ALL. I MUST WIN!

SHOT 114 : KONG : YOUNG MAN, YOU HAVE OUR SUPPORT!

SHOT 115 : CHAN : YEA...AND IF YOU BECOME THE MASTER OF THE KOPITIAM, BE SURE YOU MAKE US THE HONOURED VIP. FREE COFFEE EVERYDAY!

(JOE STARTS IMAGINING SITTING AT THE COUNTER LIKE A BOSS AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, HE HEARD STEVEN CALLING FOR HELP FROM THE OUTSIDE OF KITCHEN.)
