(JAMES, LONDON)
(JAMES, LONDON)
JAMES IS SITTING ON THE COUCH, PLUCKING AWAY ON HIS BASS. HE STOPS EVERY ONCE TO WRITE DOWN A SONG LYRIC. THERE IS A KNOCK ON HIS DOOR. JAMES GETS UP AND ANSWERS.
JAMES
(SHOCKED) London?
(SHOCKED) London?
LONDON PUSHES PAST JAMES AND INTO THE SUITE. SHE IS WEARING PUNK CLOTHES: FISHNET STOCKINGS, A BLACK SKIRT, AND A RIPPED UP SHIRT WITH AN ANARCHY SYMBOL. HER HAIR IS SPIKED UP IN A MOHAWK.
LONDON
Before you say anything, I want you to know that I spent all of yesterday in the slums of Boston. I saw real-life homeless people. I had to go to stores that weren’t designer brand to get these clothes. Stores called Miss Rocky Horror and Punker Plus. The paparazzi had a field day, but I didn’t hide from them once. If you see a picture of me in "It Weekly" dressed like this, don’t be surprised.

LONDON
No! Don’t you get it? I put on these clothes and I came up here to tell you that I don’t care what people think about me when I’m with you. I like you, hair spikes and all. Although, I have a great hairstylist that could really tone those down a bit and give them a nice shape.

What you did was harsh and shallow. I thought you liked me. And then all of a sudden, you see one spiky belt and you run for the hills. All because of what society might think.
