Dylan and Marissa meet for the first time and dislike each other immediately. Shes cheerful, organized and optimistic. He is a complete slob and a brooding pessimist with a grim sense of humor. Not long after meeting they are stuck with each other on a long trip from St.Johns to Corner Brook. To pass the time Dylan asks Marissa to tell him the story of her life.
MARISSA: “My name is Marissa Zink, but you already knew that. I was born in the big apple but moved to St. Johns when I was 6 years old.”
DYLAN: “Boring! Lets stab forks in my eyes”
MARISSA: “Could you shut up Dylan? I dont want to be in this car with you either and Its almost a 10 hour drive, please let me start and finish the story”
DYLAN: (Shot her a glance) “Continue on”
MARISSA: “I got here in April, the snow was a blanket on the ground, it was chilly. I enrolled in grade 2 at Bishops Abraham. I went right up through school, now Im a senior in high school, On the cheerleading, Soccer and rugby team. I also take dance and work every second Sunday at Coles, I just turned 18 last month and aged out of sea cadets this month.”
DYLAN: “Geese, Girl you do a lot.”
MARISSA: (Giggles a little) “I know, Im always so busy. I love it!”
DYLAN: “Whens your senior prom”
MARISSA: “June 29th, its kind of late (Grinning)”
DYLAN: “Yeah, it is late why are you going to Corner Brook?”
MARISSA: “Visiting friends, I might look at shoes for my dress and also look at the university”
DYLAN: “Oh, what colors your dress?”
MARISSA: “Ruby red, with roses going down the front”
DYLAN: “Sounds nice, ha” (“Ugly” under his breath)
MARISSA: “I heard that, jerk”
DYLAN: “Truth Hurts”
*15 Minutes later*
DYLAN: “Are you hungry?”
MARISSA: “No”
DYLAN: “Finish your story”
MARISSA: “So after prom, safe grad, schools over for summer and Im heading to MUN in St. Johns to become a nurse and Ill probably go to some 3rd world place and treat them to the great healthcare us Canadians have. Thats my life story in a nut shell”
DYLAN: “How nice” (sarcastically)
