Self Video Audition sides for 'Swipe Right'

Seth, 24, the male lead, is a lab tech who is an expert in theories and
calculations but never takes risks, especially with women. Nervous yet articulate
and quick-witted, his greatest desire is to be in love. He is Adam Brody in 'The
O.C.' Without the cooler edge. [Pages 2 to 4]

Jeff, 26, Seth's best friend and work colleague, no real knowledge of science,
just looking for the next grant. He is charming, witty and knows how to use it. He
is Bill Murray, in 'Ghostbusters'. [Pages 2 to 4]

Carly, 24, is Seth's date, beautiful, intelligent and knows exactly how to make
people feel at ease. She is Yvonne Strahovski in 'Chuck'. [Pages 5 to 6]

Brad, 32, is Carly's ex boyfriend; he is well dressed, handsome, confident and


will step on anyone to get what he wants. He is Rob Lowe in 'Wayne's World'.
[Pages 7 to 8]

Anna, 23, is a waitress in an Italian restaurant. She is cool, witty and takes no
prisoners. Tough, but cares for people and stands up for what is right. She is
Judy Reyes in 'Scrubs'. [Pages 9 to 10]

Audition scene for Seth & Jeff: Pages 2-4

INT. SETH'S APARTMENT - DAY


A man's face stares blankly at unseen item. He's SETH, 24,
thin rimmed glasses, neat shirt -- a nerd. His focus on his
mac book screen.

His room is a homage to all things science. A Stephen


Hawkins poster pined to the wall. A telescope to the side of
him.

ON THE COMPUTER SCREEN: A face book page, a photo of young


couple showing off an engagement ring. Seth shakes his head.
Puts his head in his hands.
The front door swings open. JEFF marches in. 26. Typical
slacker. Sits next to Seth.

SETH
(depressed)
It's over.
JEFF
(excited)
The apocalypse.
SETH
Rebecca and I.

JEFF
Oh, did it ever start?

SETH
No. But it should have. In a world
where I win a Nobel prize.

JEFF
Zombies are more likely.

SETH
Thanks.
JEFF
This epiphany. When did it happen?
SETH
You're not gonna believe this?
Seth points to his mac book screen. Jeff takes it in.

SETH (CONT'D)
(slight anger)
3

She's taking the plunge with Todd


from biology. And I know... I Know
we had chemistry.
JEFF
This theory of your... Got any
evidence?

SETH
(excited)
There was the time we locked eyes
with each other at the Christmas
party... Or, Or, when I said hi to
her in the elevator, and she said
it back.
JEFF
But did you ever, you know break
your life long rule and ask her
out?

SETH
(dejected)
What? Rejection multiplied by
humiliation... That is a bad
formula.

JEFF
(fatherly)
If you want to meet a woman. Today.
Someone, interesting, clever,
beautiful. Tinders the way
forward.
SETH
But it's just based on what your
... DNA has given you.
JEFF
It's great, everyone does it. I do
it. My Dad's on it. Mum too. The
whole worlds into it.
Jeff opens a drawer, takes out an I pad opens up on tinder.

JEFF (CONT'D)
All these women, searching for the
one.
Jeff walks over to a poster of Stephen Hawkins.

JEFF (CONT'D)
(said with a mocking tone)
What do you think Mr. Master of
time and space...? Even he agrees.
So sign up.
4

Seth takes the I Pad. Types.

SETH
Okay... Name... Age...
profession...

JEFF
Music producer.

SETH
Lying equals trouble. Trouble
results in bad things happening.

JEFF
It's expected. On mine, I'm a
professional actor
SETH
Have you ever done any?

JEFF
I took a few classes. Just do it.
And make it sound good. The key to
a good lie... the detail
Seth shakes his head. Types away.

JEFF (CONT'D)
(hes rolling now)
Now a photo.

Seth takes a snap with his I pad.


SETH
Up loaded it.
Jeff snatches the I pad out of his hand. He swipes right
over and over again.

JEFF
You are going to get so many
messages. Blondes, brunettes... red
heads... over 50s.
SETH
My calculations tell me... no
messages.

JEFF
We'll see.

SETH

Seth sits opposite Carly.


CARLY (CONT'D)
(confused)
You don't look like your usual
music producer?

SETH
(embarrassed)

Geeky.
CARLY

gold chains, that kind of thing.
SETH
(nervous)

golds being cleaned... I can't
lie... This T-shirt It's my
favourite.

CARLY

Especially, with my former best


friend.

Carly smiles; Seth too.


SETH

collection. If you ever want to
watch an episode.

She laughs. He does too.
