NAYELI sits behind the sales counter , scrolling through her phone , checking out her ex ’ s Instagram . The shop is otherwise empty .
NAYELI Oh look , I ’ m standing next to a surfboard with my shirt off .” Baboso , you don ’ t even know how to surf . ( Swipes ) Oh no . Please tell me that ’ s not what I think it is . I know that ain ’ t a picture of your pendeja girlfriend holding E .
( NAYELI spots DALE as he cautiously enters the shop – clearly an outof-towner . He appears very uncomfortable as he looks through a rack of swim trunks .)
NAYELI ( voice changes , bubbly ) Hi there . How ’ re you doing today , sir ?
( DALE looks at her , forces a quick smile , and then looks away .)
You visiting from out of town ?
NAYELI
( DALE nods , but does not look at her .)
Awesome . Where from ?
( almost indiscernible ) Up north .
NAYELI
DALE
NAYELI Fantastic . Let me ask you something . Have you ever gone kayaking before ?
( almost a whisper ) No .
DALE
NAYELI Dude . Today is seriously your lucky day . The water is amazing . Come over here . Come on , don ’ t be scared .
( DALE moves closer with trepidation . NAYELI whips out a kayaking tours brochure and imposes it on him .)
NAYELI We have a bunch of wonderful kayak tours that you can actually still jump on today . Are you here by yourself or with people ? You got family with you ?
