A moving vehicle. Our characters are in the middle of a conversation about The Flaming Lips. Please note that the conversation that actually took place may have been significantly less clever.
YASMIN: Oh my God, I love The Flaming Lips. Love them!
HOLMES: Yeah, I saw them open for Tool once.
YASMIN: What?
HOLMES: I saw The Flaming Lips open for Tool once.
YASMIN: (practically spitting the word out) Tool?
HOLMES: Yep.
YASMIN: Shut up, you did not.
HOLMES: Yes I did.
YASMIN: No you didn't.
HOLMES: Yes I did.
YASMIN: Shut up.
HOLMES: But I did.
YASMIN: (increasingly agitated) No you didn't.
HOLMES: Yes I-
YASMIN: You did not! You're lying!
HOLMES: I'm not lying!
YASMIN: The Flaming Lips?
HOLMES: Yes.
YASMIN: Opened for fucking Tool?
HOLMES: Yep.
YASMIN: You're lying.
HOLMES: No I'm not. I saw 'em when I was 17. It was them and this other band called Failure.
YASMIN: Failure? That's a real nice name.
HOLMES: They went on first, then The Flaming Lips, then Tool. Oh, and The Flaming Lips came out all covered in Christmas lights.
YASMIN: The Flaming Lips did not open for Tool.
HOLMES: Yes they did because I saw it.
YASMIN: No you didn't.
HOLMES: Yes I did.
YASMIN: There's no way.
HOLMES: Whaddaya mean there's no way?
YASMIN: There's no way The Flaming Lips opened for Tool.
HOLMES: Well there must be a way because it happened and I saw it.
YASMIN: Liar.
HOLMES: I went with my friend Chad. I'll call him and he can vouch for me.
YASMIN: No he can't because it's not true.
HOLMES: I'll call him and you can ask him who we saw open for Tool when we were 17 years old.
Proceeds to dial
YASMIN: I don't believe this.
HOLMES: (into phone) Hey man, what's going on?....Hey, I need a favor real quick...I have somebody here who wants to ask you about that Tool show we saw....Yeah, here I'm gonna hand her the phone.
Hands over the phone.
YASMIN: (into phone) So I understand you saw Tool?...Uh-huh...Who opened for them?...The Flaming Lips...Are you sure?...You're sure?...I don't believe this...Okay....Okay, fine. Fine!
Shoves phone back to Holmes
HOLMES: (into phone) Allright, thank you sir....Yep, that's it....Allright.
Hangs up.
HOLMES: I told you.
YASMIN: Whatever.
