(referring to the Japanese text in front of her) You take Japanese.
LAUREN :
(quickly closing the book) Oh, yes, yeah.
TRUMAN :
Lauren, right? It’s on ...
LAUREN :
Lauren, right. Right.
TRUMAN :
I’m Truman Burbank.
LAUREN :
Yeah, I know. You know, Truman, I’m not allowed to talk to you.
TRUMAN :
Really? Yeah, well, I can understand that. I’m a pretty dangerous character.
LAUREN :
I’m sorry. It’s not up to me.
TRUMAN :
Girls gotta be careful ... You have a boyfriend, right?
LAUREN :
No, it’s not that ...
TRUMAN :
Of course not. Is it ... was it Meryl, the girl that was with me? We’re not ... we don’t ... we’re ... we’re just friends.
LAUREN :
No, it’s nothing like that.
TRUMAN :
It’s how I look. Not your type?
LAUREN :
No.
TRUMAN :
(referring to a pin on Lauren’s sweater) I like your pin. I was wondering that myself.
LAUREN :
Mmm.
TRUMAN :
Would you wanna, maybe, possibly ... sometime go out for some pizza or something? Like Friday? Saturday?
LAUREN :
I can’t.
TRUMAN :
Sunday? Monday? Tuesday?
Lauren writes “NOW” on her notebook.
TRUMAN :
We have finals tomorrow.
LAUREN :
Yeah, I know. If we don’t go now, it won’t happen.
Truman hesitates.
LAUREN :
(looking anxiously around) Do you understand? So, what do you wanna do?
Lauren, taking Truman by the hand, quickly leaves the library. Truman, excited, runs with her even though he’s not sure exactly who or what they are running from.
