HITHE: OK
SKI: But there’s something I need to tell you…
I can’t get it off my mind
HITHE: Alrite, I’m listening…
SKI: It’s just that… [stops]

then just being your friend…
[sits up] HITHE: Stop.
[looks down] SKI: I… [Looks right at him]
I’m falling in love with you
[ Hithe just stares back, Ski leans and quickly brushes his lips]
[pulls back] HITHE: What the fuck are you doing?
SKI: I’m sorry!
I know what you must be thinking,
But this is something I’ve know for awhile.
I love you, & I had to get this out
HITHE: But I’m not…Why would you?
Get the hell away from me!
[ Hithe steps back looking at Ski, turns around, and quickly walks away.
