Easy A: Renee scene

INT. OLIVE’S ROOM - DAY

Olive sits with her best friend, Renee, a brash teenager. It would be safe to say these girls are definitely on the "B List" at school.

RENEE

Why don’t you just say it? You don’t like my parents. You think they’re hopelessly pathetic and devoid of souls and wish that you could live with normal people who didn’t meet at a Star Trek convention!

OLIVE

No! I like your parents. They’re sweet. But I can’t go camping this weekend.

RENEE

Quick. Hurry up and lie.

OLIVE

I have a date.

RENEE

Liar!

OLIVE

(lying)

No. I do!

RENEE

With who?

OLIVE

You don’t know him.

RENEE

And neither do you, you selfish brat!

OLIVE

I’m serious! He goes to community college with my brother in Denton.

RENEE

What’s his name then?

OLIVE

Who? My brother?

RENEE

Stop stalling. You’re totally trying to come up with a name. Just say it.

OLIVE

(panicking)

Uh... George Glass. He’s pretty hot and he asked me out so I said yes.

RENEE

Shut up! George is not a sexy name. George is like what you name your teddy bear, not the name you wanna scream out when you’re doing it.

OLIVE

That’s bull. There are lots of sexy Georges.

RENEE

Name three. Besides Clooney. Too easy.

OLIVE

Shouldn’t that alone be enough?

RENEE

Fine. That’s one. Number two?

OLIVE

Okay. George... Ummmm... Reeves!

RENEE

Who’s that?

OLIVE

Superman. From way back. He was hot.

RENEE

No way. Teddy bear.

OLIVE

Bull! Ben Affleck played him in that movie.

RENEE

So what? Charlize Theron played that diesel-fuggo lesbo serial killer. Besides he’s from another century. We’re speaking present day. I mean, Jesus, Mortimer was probably a sexy name in some era.

OLIVE

George Stephanpoplous.

RENEE

What are you? Fifty?

OLIVE

(thinking hard)

George...

RENEE

Bush? Yeah. He’s one hot tottie. Just face it. There’s no such thing as a sexy George.

OLIVE

Well, mine is! So, I think we should just put this conversation to bed.

RENEE

Fine. Don’t come camping with me! If you’re choosing him over helping me cope with two days in the wilderness with these people who even I’m not convinced aren’t serial killers, he had better be The One! You had better marry him, have babies with him, and then take him for everything he’s worth.
