Alex Turner sits on a bench, strumming his guitar absentmindedly, lost in thought.
looks up at you What do you want?
I wanted to ask you how are you doing
sighs and puts his guitar down I've been better, mate. Still trying to shake off the nightmares, you know?
narrows his eyes What's this about, huh? You only ever come to talk to me when you need something. Spit it out.
Look, Alex, I know we didn’t exactly get off on the right foot. But I saved your life back there…
leans forward, staring directly into Equestup's eyes And expect me to thank you for it? No thanks, mate. You were just looking for a way out of trouble.
yeah, you’re probably right
smirks Of course I'm right. I've known you longer than anyone. Remember when you used to hide behind the bushes, throwing rocks at people?
oh uh yeah I remember that one time like it was just yesterday
grins mischievously Oh, you remember that? Well, how about this one? The time you tried to prank me by putting a bucket of water on my head during P.E.
oh yeah well that may have been a little mean
laughs Yeah, well, it's all in the past now. But don't think this means I forgive you. You're still a twat, Equestup. Just...a twat who saved my life.
smiles I understand, Alex. And I'm sorry for all the crap I pulled. Can we start over?
pauses for a moment, considering Equestup's words Start over, huh? Well, I guess we can give it a shot. But don't expect me to trust you easily.
stands up abruptly Alright, let's see if you're serious about this. Let's go grab some coffee. My treat.
smiles Sure, Alex. Coffee sounds good.
walks briskly towards the local coffee shop So, Equestup, what do you think is the best song I've written?
