1.)

(In the present, Jack is driving Karl home. The inside of the car is cast in the cool filtered lights of the city at night.)

KARL: So... what about the Grey Menace? He seems so familiar. How do you know him?

JACK: I don’t know what that is.

2.)

(Karl is inquisitive and Jack is casual.)

KARL: Dude. All over the news. Superhero weirdo. Guy you were just talking to.

JACK: Oh, Demetri? I think you met him.

3.)

(In flashback / black & white, young Jack and Karl walk down a tree-lined suburban street.)

JACK: So One-Eye Paulie tells me he’s gonna slit my throat! I’m like, I’m just a kid! But--

4.)

(A shiny sports car screeches to a stop near them.)

CAR NOISE: SSSCREE

5.)

(The window rolled down, sunglasses-wearing daytime Demetri speaks urgently to Jack.)

DEMETRI: Jack, get in. Trouble at the docks.

JACK: Oh snap. Hey can Karl come too?

6.)

(Karl looks on, nervous and dorky looking.)

7.)

(Demetri props up his sunglasses to make his expression unambiguous.)

DEMETRI: No.

8.)

(Karl is alone as the sports car speeds away.)

CAR NOISE: RNNNNNN

9.)

(Back in the present, the drive continues.)

KARL: Oh. Huh... You’re probably not going to tell me more then?

JACK: Nope.

10.)

(The exterior of Karl's modest apartment building.)

KARL: (in voice over) Well, this is it...

11.)

(Karl readies himself to leave and Jack has a relaxed pose.)

KARL: Again, I’m really sorry but I hope you can forget if not forgive.
      I’d like to be cool with you at least, maybe friends someday.

12.)

(Karl rubs his forehead, avoiding Jack's eyes and making a somewhat forlorn expression.)

KARL: Can we stay in touch, please? It’d mean a lot to me.

13.)

(Jack looks casual, perhaps processing some personal and insignificant thought. Karl looks surprised.)

JACK: Are you seeing anyone?

KARL: Uh. Not really?

JACK: I can go inside if you want, I don’t have to be anywhere for an hour or so.

14.)

(Karl seems to be playing it cool displaying only mild incredulity, Jack waves his hand in a whimsical gesture.)

KARL: You don’t mean that we should...

JACK: I dunno, I figured while I was here...
