Vibes v Geoff

Scene 13: Justin and Geoff hanging out in Justin's apartment.

The only sound is the babbling brook running through the corner. The chandelier hangs in the middle of the room throwing sparkling points of light all over its contents. Geoff always seems to notice the NBADL awards Justin he has won over the years:
"Defensive Player of the Year 02, 03, 06, 08", "Comeback player of the Year 06"
"6th Man of the Year 08, 09"
"Western Division Champion 03, 06, 07"
"Eastern Division Champion 09"

They sit on the mantel above the 6 ft tall Gas fireplace(turned on low). The deep red, satin window treatments wave with the draft of the apartment. They always remind Geoff of his trip to Nepal back in 2003(you know what I'm talking about). The grizzly bear rug feels comfortable between Geoff's toes. He continuously rubs his feet all over the area below the daybed upon which he sits.

As Edmund(the butler) brings Geoff another Pabst, a spark flies between them. And Geoff, being scared of electricity, drops the beer on the bear(the fourth he's dropped now).

Geoff: Crap! Sorry.....I dropped my beer on the bear.

Justin: .........

Edmund just leans down and picks up the glass, then continues to the fireplace and puts the Comeback Player of the Year upright again. Back to the kitchen.

Geoff: So... what's going on?

Justin: mmeh?

G: Ok......well......wanna watch The Cutting Edge?

Justin walks over and knocks the Comeback Player of the Year award over. He's still pissed about the cheap shot The "Birdman" gave him back in the 03 championship game. Out for 2 years.

J: ...

G: Wanna play Apples to Apples?

J: ..... (Head shake, with lip purse)

G: ..... (continues rubbing of feet on the bear)

J: ......

G: ...... uh......

Edmund comes back into the room with a beer and hands it to Geoff.....sparks.........beer on bear...

J: ........

G: Well...... how about some Pirates Dice?

J: YYYaaaaaaahhhrrrrggggggghhhhhhh!!!!!! You be challenging the champeen of the Di!... Watcha wanna wager you dirty barnacle?

G: Jesus!...well...um.....how about my new co..(Justin interrupts)..

J: I wager me digs. Yahrgh.

G: Ok. That was unexpected. Let's do this.

45 seconds later Geoff is smoking his pipe in his new hot tub, and Justin is gathering his pet Koi from the pond into his messenger bag.

G: Hey....you wanna watch The Cutting Edge now?
