Script
The sun is beginning to set when LOUIS enters a line to get cotton candy with ERNEST and DORIS.
LOUIS squats down to speak to them.
LOUIS
Alright, if you tell your dad that I bought you sweets, we'll never get to hang out again. So keep your mouths shut, ok?
ERNEST
Promise!
The three of them pinky promise each other, and then LOUIS stands, bumping into the person in front of him.
LOUIS in a high-pitched voice.
LOUIS
M'sorry, mate!
HARRY turns around, holding a toddler.
HARRY
Don't worry about it.
Smiles.
HARRY
Nice to see you again.
Waves to the twins.
HARRY
Hello again.
DORIS waves back, ERNEST stares.
HARRY
This is Robbie, my friend's kid.
HARRY hands the baby off, turns back around to talk to them.
HARRY
Did you have fun today?
ERNEST
It was so much fun! We went on all the rides!
DORIS
And now we're getting cotton candy!
LOUIS smiles at HARRY.
LOUIS
Fun little outing. Did you have fun, H-
LOUIS has to stop himself from saying his name.
LOUIS
Yeah, did you have fun?
HARRY beams.
HARRY
It was great. I love fairs. I'm Harry, by the way.
The line moves up, and LOUIS takes the opportunity to change the conversation.
LOUIS
Thanks again for helping find Doris. She's a terror in crowded places. Muscle man here always follows the rules, though.
DORIS rolls her eyes like a teenager, ERNEST stares up at HARRY.
HARRY
Just being a good person, you know. You put kindness into the universe, it comes back to you.
LOUIS laughs.
LOUIS
If that's your catchphrase, it's kind of long.
HARRY
How could I shorten it?
LOUIS waves his arms when he speak.
LOUIS
"Treat people with kindness."
HARRY's face explodes with excitedness.
HARRY
Oh my gosh, you're a genius. Can I trademark that?
LOUIS
Go ahead.
LOUIS smiles and looks down at the kids, who are talking about the rides to each other.
LOUIS
Looks like you're up in line, Harry.
HARRY shrugs.
HARRY
My friend's know what I want.
He blushes.
HARRY
Do you think I could have your number? In case you need a babysitter or something?
LOUIS coughs, and turns red.
LOUIS
Oh my fookin' god. I'm not their dad!
HARRY turns red, mortified.
LOUIS
Sorry, I'm their older brother. Different dad, same mum.
HARRY
I am so sorry! Wow, that's so embarrassing. I'm so dumb.
LOUIS
Honest mistake, mate.
HARRY takes a second to recover.
HARRY
Well, in case you wanted to go out for coffee?
HARRY looks into LOUIS' eyes, and LOUIS shuts down. Complete brain cell shut off. ERNEST bumping into him gets him going again, a second later.
LOUIS shakes his head.
LOUIS
Sorry, I don't think that's the best idea.
HARRY is very visibly hurt, but plays it off.
HARRY
No worries. It was nice to meet you.
HARRY runs off with his friends, and LOUIS orders the treats for them. He glances in the direction that the boy had just ran off in, and then sighs loudly, handing over his debit card.
