Excerpting Senior Writers: Sam Chalsen '12

Sam Chalsen reflects on his screenwriting thesis.

Billy walks off after Mary. Jo Jr sighs. He turns around, knocking over a box of Colt 45’s. Jo Jr jumps down to pick them up---only for Harrison the Hipster to kneel down next to him. Harrison’s got his guitar strapped on.

HARRISON: Here, lemme help--

JO JR.: Thanks, sorry.

HARRISON: No harm done.

JO JR.: That’s, uh, that’s a really cool guitar you’ve got.

HARRISON: Oh thanks, man! You play?

JO JR.: Oh, no! I mean, I’m trying. I can’t play yet.

HARRISON: No way! You should bring your guitar around here, I’ll show you a thing or two.

JO JR.: Really?

HARRISON: For sure. I’m Harrison.

JO JR.: Hey.

HARRISON: And your name--

JO JR.: Oh, I’m Joseph. Junior. Jo Jr.

Jo-Jo. You can -- my friends call me Jo-Jo.

HARRISON: Jo-Jo. Far out.
