Remember These?

And now I will give you nice people a sneak peak from my upcoming Summer 2065 blockbuster film, or whatever they'll be calling it then.

TOBY
(Showing him a bill)
My credit card bill! Anything look familiar?!

(MARK takes it and looks it over.)

MARK
(Bullshitting)
I don’t have a credit card, so I don’t really know what I’m looking at.

TOBY
(Rips it from him.)
A little something called ‘Sensuous Moments’? For $150?!

MARK
(He knows)
‘Sensuous Moments’? What the hell you’d get into, buddy?

TOBY
Well, let’s see – where else do we see the company listed? (Shows bill to MARK again)

MARK
Ahhhh…coupla days before.

TOBY
And for how much?

MARK
(Knows he’s busted)
$6.

TOBY
You called her back? With my fucking credit card? Are you out of your fucking mind? $150!

MARK
Calm the fuck down – look, first of all, in my defense, I never thought you’d find out.

TOBY
$150!

MARK
Oh shut up, I’ll pay you back.

TOBY
I still haven’t gotten the $6 from you! (Now something is dawning on him) And wait, what the fuck – how did you even do this? Did you steal my credit card while I was sleeping or some shit?

MARK
No.

TOBY
Then what? You just gave out random numbers until you hit mine?

MARK
No. I memorized it.

TOBY
You memorized it?

MARK
When I saw the card the first time. Sorry, I couldn’t help it, the numbers just stuck in my head! I couldn’t get them out until I used them.

TOBY
(Looks at bill)
Eight times.

MARK
(Embarrassed)
Well…

TOBY
You MEMORIZED a string of sixteen numbers, just like that?

MARK
Yeah.

TOBY
(Sarcastic)
Congratulations, you have the world’s first pornographic memory.

MARK
Thank you.

TOBY
Now this shit’s on my fucking credit record!

MARK
Oh please, they make a zillion dollars a year. Nobody’s gonna notice your measly $150.

TOBY
YOUR measly $150!

MARK
Fine, if you run for fucking president one day, I’ll sign something saying yes, the $150 charge to Sensuous Delights or whatthefuckever way back in the summer of 1990 was me. I’ll even say I stole your wallet.

TOBY
$150!

MARK
Does saying that over and over make the number go down?

TOBY
(Calming down)
At least tell me you didn’t blubber away about Lara like the first time.

MARK
Oh no no, it was pretty fucking disgusting, don’t worry about that.

TOBY
(Sarcastic)
Well, good for you. Jesus fucking Christ. (Smacks MARK’s head) Forget my credit card number NOW!

MARK
Anything for you, buddy.

TOBY
What the fuck…you barely graduate high school, and you pull this shit off? Why can’t you use your powers for good?
 
MARK
Oh believe me, it was good.
