MC OC 1-11-16 TRAINSPOTTING FYI Café scene INT. CAFÉ - DAY Renton and Spud and seated at a booth, dressed in their own fashion for job interviews. RENTON- It's a nightmare Spud, a fucking tightrope. SPUD- My problem is that I tend to clam up. I go dumb and I can't answer any questions at all. RENTON- Try this. Renton unfolds silver foil to reveal some amphetamine. Spud dips in a finger and takes a dab. He nods in appreciation as he tastes it. Renton leaves the packet in Spud's hand. SPUD- A little dab of speed is just the ticket. INT. INTERVIEW OFFICE – DAY
START………. A Woman and Two Men (1 and 2) are interviewing Spud who feels euphoric and talkative with an unbelievable out of control energy upgrade, which spins everyone around SPUD-No, actually I went to Craig-newton but I was worried that you wouldn't have heard of it so I put the Royal Edinburgh College instead, because they're both schools, right, and we're all in this together, and I wanted to put across the general idea rather than the details, yeah? People get all hung up on details, but what's the point? Like which school? Does it matter? Why? When? Where? Or how many O grades did I get? Could be six, could be one, but that's not important. What's important is that I am, right? That I am. MAN 1 -Mr. Murphy, do you mean that you lied on your application? SPUD- Only to get my foot in the door. Showing initiative, right? MAN 1-You were referred here by the Department of Employment. There's no need for you to get you "foot in the door", as you put it. SPUD - Hey. Right. No problem. Whatever you say, man. You're the man, the governor, the dude in the chair, like. I'm merely here. But obviously I am. Here, that is. I hope I'm not talking too much. I don't usually. I think it's all important though, isn't it? WOMAN -Mr. Murphy, do you see yourself as having any weaknesses? SPUD- No. Well, yes. I have to admit it: I'm a perfectionist. For me, it's the best or nothing at all. If things go badly, I can't be bothered, but I have a good feeling about this interview. Seems to me like it's gone pretty well. MAN 1 -Thank you, Mr. Murphy. We'll let you know. SPUD-The pleasure was mine. Best interview I've ever been to. Thanks
