1 INT. BATHROOM - DAY 1
BRADLEY (19) enters the bathroom, pulls down his Mario Kart
boxers, and PLOPS down on the toilet; his bare feet just
touch the ground.
Send tweet.
BRADLEY
$6.33
BRADLEY (CONT’D)
So, do you think that’s a high
number, or...
CUSTOMER
Wait what?
BRADLEY
Would you say 633 is a... high
number?
2.
CUSTOMER
For what...
BRADLEY
Um, followers.
CUSTOMER
I- I guess so.
BRADLEY
Thank you. I... I needed that.
Bradley has still not taken the money from the customer. He
is too blinded by this ego boost. They stand awkwardly until
he realizes he has to finish the transaction. He hands the
customer the change and her bag, and she leaves in silence.
KIMMI
How’s work baby? :)
BRADLEY
It’s okay I guess... :/ kinda
boring...
KIMMI
U wanna FaceTime?
BRADLEY
I wish I could with all my heart,
but my boss would kill me...
KIMMI
Oh, ok...
(new message)
Send me a pic at least... I wanna
see ur face :3
Sent.
3.
KIMMI
I don’t know, the math part was
really confusing, so I just guessed
most of it. Everything else was
pretty easy though...
KIMMI (CONT’D)
So what are you thinking about?
BRADLEY
I don’t know, nothing much...
KIMMI
Come on, give me something babe!
BRADLEY
Well, honestly, I’m kind of
surprised with the lack of activity
on my Twitter profile today.
KIMMI
Oh...
BRADLEY
Like, I don’t understand why I
don’t have more followers yet. I
mean, my content is pretty funny,
right?
KIMMI
Yeah, I think so... I do like all
your tweets, don’t I?
BRADLEY
Yeah, but that’s it.
KIMMI
Am I not enough anymore?
BRADLEY
I mean, I’m happy you like them,
but famous people get a lot more
than one like...
KIMMI
Yeah, you have a point I guess.
4.
BRADLEY
Apparently it’s only five dollars
to promote one of your tweets.
KIMMI
No, don’t spend money on Twitter.
Just tweet about things that are
trending.
BRADLEY
Yeah, true...
Bradley can relate. He notices that this tweet does not have
that many likes and retweets at all. He studies it more, then
copies the text.
KIMMI
Sometimes her tweets are good, but
most of the time I just don’t like
them at all-
BRADLEY
Yea, yea they’re so unoriginal.
Wait, so how about this for a
tweet?
(reading)
“that moment when you sneakily open
Twitter in class, while looking at
the teacher like a hawk
#relatable.”
KIMMI
Oh, yeah... that’s pretty good! I
think a lot of people will like it.
BRADLEY
Thanks, babe.
BRADLEY (CONT’D)
I’m getting kinda tired, I think I
might go to bed.
KIMMI
Oh, good night then... I love you!
BRADLEY
Love you too. Bye.
They hang up. Bradley closes his laptop and places it under
his pillow. He turns off his side table lamp and curls up
under his covers.
He unlocks his phone to find that his stolen tweet from the
previous night has now reached 30 thousand likes, and 10
thousand retweets.
6.
“wow my account blew up! Welcome to all the new fans. My last
tweet was actually a quote from trending, but I hope you guys
will stay... I’m pretty funny.”
Bradley hovers his finger over the tweet button. He goes back
and reads it over again. He stares at the screen for a good
minute before deleting part of what he wrote. The tweet now
says,
“wow my account blew up! Welcome to all the new fans... I’m
pretty funny.”
KIMMI
Babe? :/
BRADLEY
Hey Kimmi baby :* Sorry I didn’t
see these... my phone has been
blowing up with Twitter
notifications :O
KIMMI
Oh wow haha it’s okay. That’s
crazy... I’m so proud of you babe
:)
BRADLEY
Thank you baby ;D
7.
KIMMI
I love you <3
UBER DRIVER
We’re at your stop.
BRADLEY
Oh shit. Thanks, man.
CUT TO:
Bradley struggles with this and whips his head back and
forth. The VIBRATIONS further multiply and grow in speed.
SHIA LEBOUF
Admit it. You stole the tweet.
BRADLEY
NEVER!!
8.
SHIA LEBOUF
Admit it. Admit it. Admit it.
Bradley tries to log back in, but he gets a notice that says,
“Account Suspended. You have breached the terms of service.”
CUT TO:
BRADLEY
Hey.

KIMMI
We’re done. UR Blocked.
MONTAGE - VARIOUS
BRADLEY
...Hi, mom.
END MONTAGE
10.
BRADLEY
Hi, welcome! Can I help you with
anything?
ANNA
Hi! Actually, that would be really
helpful. I can’t decide which
pastry to get.
BRADLEY
I would say our chocolate croissant
is definitely one of the better
ones.
ANNA
I guess that’s what I’ll go with
then!
Anna puts the napkin on the counter, reaches into her pocket
for a pen, and scribbles down something on the napkin. They
both smile and she exits.
ANNA
It was nice talking with you today!
:) Hope to see you soon.
Bradley smiles.
11.
BRADLEY
Same to you :) What are you doing
later this week?
CUT TO BLACK.
