INT. LIVING ROOM - 12:42 AM

[It's loud, lights flash throughout the room. Bodies move against each other, and drinks are splashing out of their cups. LOUIS sits uncomfortably next to a pair of people]

[An unknown voice declares their presence and squeezes in beside LOUIS]

LOUIS: (confused) "Hello?"

[LOUIS doesn't get a response and watches as the other boy shoves the people beside them away]

LOUIS: (still confused, attempting to be louder) "Hello? What are you doing here?"

[HARRY turns to face LOUIS]

HARRY: (calmly) "Hey, I'm Harry."

[LOUIS nods slowly and sticks his hand out]

LOUIS: "Louis."

[LOUIS and HARRY sit quietly as the people around them continue to drink. Neither one of the boys look interested in their surroundings]

HARRY: (suddenly very engrossed in LOUIS and the front door) "Do you want to get out of here?"

LOUIS: (cautious but desperate to escape the room) "I probably shouldn't, but sure why not."

[HARRY stands up, and LOUIS follows him. They make their way through the large group of people and out the front door]

EXT. STREET - 1:12 AM

[The city is quiet, nothing is heard apart from the occasional car driving by. Streetlights illuminate the sidewalk, and orange leaves fall slowly from trees]

[LOUIS and HARRY walk silently down the street. LOUIS pulls out a cigarette. HARRY watches as LOUIS lights it under his shirt. HARRY steals the lit cigarette]

LOUIS: (appalled) "Hey!"

HARRY: (holding the smoking item in front of him, observing the way it burns) "Smoking isn't good for you."

LOUIS: (rolling his eyes, attempting to grab his cigarette back) "Don't you think I know that?"

HARRY: (holding it above his head) "I'm sure you know that. I also know that you're not allowed to die."

LOUIS: (frustrated) "You don't even know me."

HARRY: "Doesn't matter."

[HARRY walks with his arm above his head, and LOUIS gives up trying to grab his cigarette. It burns out as they turn the corner. HARRY sees a shopping cart]

HARRY: (seriously) "Louis, get in the cart."

LOUIS: (confused, stopping in front of the cart) "Excuse me?"

HARRY: "Get in the cart."

LOUIS: "I am not getting in that. Who knows why it's here?"

HARRY: (shrugs, steps around the cart) "Well then we can find the source. Will you get in it then?"

LOUIS: (following HARRY around) "Sure."

EXT. ASDA PARKING LOT - 1:36 AM

[The parking lot is empty, there are stray carts scattered across it. A raccoon runs around a corner and frightens LOUIS. HARRY laughs and runs over to the nearest cart]

HARRY: (pushing a shopping cart towards LOUIS) "Look at this one!"

LOUIS: (shaking his head, meeting HARRY in the middle) "So am I meant to just jump in or what?"
