Chuck, still wearing the sousaphone, "hides" behind a tree as joggers, sunbathers, and kids enoy the perfect day. He peers out and sees...
SUZY BEANS, cute, twenties, serves SHAVED ICE from a cart to a group of KIDS.
SUZY
Thank you!
She spots chuck. Suzy smiles and then hangs a "Back in five minutes" sign at the cart window.
Chuck realizes he's been spotted he starts to walk away, still having trouble with the weight of the horn. He only makes it a few steps before Suzy catches up with him.
SUZY
Chuck?
Chuck, busted, stops and turns.
CHUCK
Hey.
SUZY
Did you join a band?
Chuck opens his mouth but before he can say anything a FOOTBALL hits the bell of the horn. Chuck almost toples from the shock.
Up runs DIRK NUSBAUM, twenties, jock.
DIRK
You almost snagged that one, bro!
Dirk picks up his ball and punts it off screen.
DIRK
So, Suzy. You busy tonight?
SUZY
Yes.
DIRK
What are you doing?
Suzy hesitates then takes Chuck's hand.
SUZY
We're going out to dinner.
Chuck's eyes go wide. He's more suprised than Dirk.
DIRK
Pity date, huh?
SUZY
Why don't you go chase down some more balls?
Dirk scowls.
DIRK
Have a fun nerd night.
Dirk runs off.
Chuck looks down, Suzy's still got his hand. She notices and lets go. She looks at the Shaved Ice Cart. There's a line now.
Suzy looks at Chuck, expectantly. He says nothing.
SUZY
I have to get back.
Suzy walks off reluctantly. Chuck watches her go.
CHUCK
Are we really having dinner?
