REID CASTING SIDE #1

Casting Side Transcribed By: Gaby

NOTE: This transcript has all the scene descriptions, camera movements, and all other stuff that was in the casting side that Choirmom got and posted on Fanbolt in their Sneak Preview board which was found by me in summer 2005. Part of this scene appears in another casting side that has the episode labelled as "A Kiss To Build A Dream On" but as I said, no episode title on the side means posted in this section.

INT. HOSPITAL. WAITING AREA. DAY.

Amy flips through a magazine, i-pod in place, waiting for her mom to emerge from her chemo treatment.

GUY’S VOICE (O.S.)
Amy!

But she doesn’t hear it (i-pod and all) so we see the hand tap her shoulder. She drops one of the head phones out of her ear and turns around to find:

REID BARDEM, 21, and hot as hell even in scrubs, which happens to be what he’s wearing. Amy instantly turns red and fumbly. So this is what Amy looks like when she has a crush.

AMY
Reid! Hi. Hey. Hello there.

REID
Hey. I’m glad you’re here - -

AMY
You are?

REID
Yeah. Today’s my last day. I wanted to make sure I got to say goodbye. You send your mom lots of love for me, okay?

AMY
Why are you leaving? I mean, where are you going?

REID
School starts next week. And since I got screwed on my housing, they’re letting me cut out of the program here early so I can find a place to live.

AMY
Wow. So, you won’t be at the hospital anymore. Like, ever?

REID
Not until I’m an actual doctor. Which could take forever, so - -

AMY
I’m sure it won’t. You’ve been so good with my mom all summer. And you never even dropped a bedpan.
(off his confusion)
Remember? When we had that bedpan joke? Like, two weeks ago?

REID
Oh right. Right. . .

AMY
(not letting him leave)
So where are you going to med school?

REID
Colorado A&M. So not too far away - -

AMY
Get out! That’s where I’m going. I mean, for regular college.

REID
You’re an undergrad there?

AMY
Yeah. Undergrad. I’m an undergrad.

REID
What dorm are you in?

AMY
Oh, I’m not doing the dorm thing. With my mom and all that - -

REID
Oh, right. That makes sense.
(then, sincere)
You’re a good daughter.

Earning another blush from Amy. Then, a lightbulb:

AMY
Omigod. You should totally live with my brother. He just got this awesome apartment back in Everwood and he’s looking for a roommate - -

REID
Where’s Everwood?

AMY
You’ve never been? Oh, it’s great. It’s only 25 minutes from A&M and it’s like … homey even if you’re not from there? You know, ‘cause it’s small. Well, not small. More like quaint. But not in a lame, grandma way. I mean my grandma’s a biker. Seriously. She has a Harley.
(then, exhausted by herself)
I can give you his number.

REID
Awesome. Thanks, cutie.
