Written By: David - Jan• 01•11

(JEREMY and STEVE are at a New Year’s Party, surrounded by FRIENDS. They’re both holding glasses of champagne. They clink glasses, and drink)

JEREMY

That’s not bad…


STEVE

Yeah… it’ll do, it’ll do…



JEREMY

Happy New Year!



STEVE


You too man… hope it’s a good one.



JEREMY

Yeah… wow… two thousand and eleven…



STEVE

Did you make any resolutions?


JEREMY

Nah, man… I don’t do that…



STEVE

Oh… yeah… I think you told me that last year.

JEREMY

Did I?

STEVE
Yeah – you said they were lame for you, but not me… seeing as I had made a bunch of resolutions and all…

JEREMY
Oh… I see… I see… yeah, I don’t remember that but yeah, okay… I guess they’re just lame for me. Not for you for example.

STEVE
Yeah.

JEREMY
So how did they work out?

STEVE
What?

JEREMY
Your resolutions… from last year… how’d those work out for you?

STEVE
Oh. I mean… I guess fine. I’m still here and all.

JEREMY
Yeah, but what I’m askin’ is if you got any of them done.

STEVE
My resolutions?

JEREMY
Yeah… those things… that you resolved to do. Did you do ‘em?

STEVE
I mean… yeah… I guess so… I’m pretty sure I did.

JEREMY
Like… what… for example?

STEVE
You want an example?

JEREMY
Yeah.

STEVE
Ok, sure… it’s just that… you told me to keep ‘em private.

JEREMY
What?

STEVE
Last year… when I was going to tell you what my resolutions were… you suggested I keep ‘em to myself.

JEREMY
Did I?

STEVE
Yeah.

JEREMY
You sure about that?

STEVE
Yeah… I am. I mean, I would tell you all about ‘em, but I think that was good advice… not to go on about it. I mean – who wants to hear about that?

JEREMY
Yeah. Still, maybe it could be inspirational – like how you made a resolution and then it changed your life and all.

STEVE
Nah man – there was nothing like that.

JEREMY
No?

STEVE
No.

JEREMY
Oh. Okay… Well, still… happy two thousand and eleven.

STEVE
Same to you bro. Have a good one.
