Joey is standing at a bus stop looking nervous. People are walking by rather fast.
JOEY: [randomly as people walk by] Excuse me? Hello, I-- Excuse me, do you know when-- Hi, sir?
LOUIS: Can't talk, walking.
JOEY: But you just did-- [people keep coming by] Hi, ma'am, I just want to-- Look please, I--
[louis walks by again]
JOEY: Sir, I just want to know--
LOUIS: [moves up real close] Yeah, you'd like that wouldn't you?
JOEY: Huh? Well, yeah--
LOUIS: Let me tell you something, kid, you see this briefcase?
JOEY: Yeah?
LOUIS: There's nothing in it but my hatred for you!
JOEY: What?
LOUIS: [running away] See you in hell, Batman!!
JOEY: Jeez, one day in this town and already I want out. Does anyone know the fucking bus schedule here?!
[Louis walks up to Joey in a very cheerful manner]
LOUIS: Say my boy, you must be new in town!
JOEY: Oh no, no not you, just get out of here.
LOUIS: What do you mean, chap? [rubs his head]
JOEY: Hey! Don't touch me! You just told me, like five seconds ago, that you hated me!
LOUIS: Kid, you're crazy, why everyone tells me, I'm the nicest guy in town. Like Terry here. Hey, Terry!
[Terry walks over]
TERRY: Louis!
LOUIS: Terry, tell this kid here what everyone in town calls me!
TERRY: Why, you? The nicest guy in town?!
LOUIS: The very same one! Me, you hear that kid?! ME! I AM THE NICEST GUY IN TOWN! COME ON TERRY LET'S GO BUY OURSELVES SOME PRODUCE!!!!!!
TERRY/LOUIS: PRODUCE IS AWESOME!
JOEY: Oh my god. I'm going to be so late for work. Excuse me, ma'am do you know when-- Ah dammit!
[Louis walks by again this time looking real mysterious]
JOEY: You again?
LOUIS: Me again? [gets real close] Who told you that? The mayor?! I will kill him!
JOEY: What? No! You, the nicest guy in town!
LOUIS: I ain't no nice guy.
[Dolores walks by]
DOLORES: It's true! He touches little boys! [she walks off]
LOUIS: You wanna get high? Higher than a monkey doin' lines of coke of your grandma's back?
JOEY: What?
LOUIS: I can make you soar like rocketships!
JOEY: [words = none. ducks for sale!!!]
LOUIS: Woop! Gotta go! It's time to make the Donuts!
[everyone clears except for Joey, looking horrified. A "bus" pulls up, meaning everyone sitting behind the driver making bus noises. Come on, it'll be fun!!!!! Louis is the driver. The bus stops in front of Joey]
LOUIS: Looking for a ride?
ALL: There's room for one more!
JOEY: I think I'll just walk..
