Audio script 'Stop Smoking'

INT. The local pub near MMU 

Reece and Noah are sat down in the smoking area of a loud pub. Te sound of people talking and laughing fills the background. Noah pulls out a pack of cigarettes, offering one to Reece. 

Noah

(Cheerfully)

OI mush, you want a cig.

Reece

(undecided) Exhales

Ehhhhhh, Nah man. Im Quitting, I can't.

Noah

(Raising an eyebrow)

Really? 

Reece

(Sheepishly) (Sarcastically)

Yeah bruv, Healthier choices and that init.

Noah lights his cigarette and takes a puff, exhaling deeply.

Noah

(jokingly) (While smoking)

Ye bruv, I get it. I need to quit as well. I smoke like a chimney.

Reece

(Mockingly)

Ye but you won't tho will you

Noah

Ye, (Chuckle) Im in to deep bruv

Reece

(Slightly resentful)

You got me addicted mush. In Benidorm. You gave me a cig, and you smoke the strong ones as well man

And you offer them out like they're chuddy bruv.

How can I say no to a free cig I love em... But, Im committed. My mum has quit and I'd promise her I'd stop as well.

Noah 

I'd be way too stressed bruv. Stopping at the end of term, haven't u go exams an that 

Reece 

Not exams, assignments. And ye bruv its killing me 

Noah 

(While puffing his cigarette and blowing the smoke close to Reece's face)

You need a stress reliever, 

Reece

(exhaling)

I just gotta thug it out bruv

Its like two weeks init, then all the nicotine is out your system

Noah 

(Agreeing)

Think so like, how longs it been since you smoked last 

Reece

(Mockingly)

2 hours. Finished my last cig then threw the packet away 

Noah 

(laughing)

So you've barely quit then

Reece

(Hitting back)

Ye but I've still quit 

So should you. Spending 15 quid every two days is divvy 

You'll not die at like 50 as well 

Noah 

bruv Ive head that a million times if I was scared about that I would have quit by now. 

Reece

I think it's better to quit with someone tho init. Keep tabs on each other 

You could vape as well. Or nicotine gum (Sarcastically). 

Noah

I guess ye, might have to vape I don't think I could go cold turkey like

Reece

So ya gonna quit ye 

Noah

We'll see, We'll see mush. I might try to quit, or slow down at least. Its gotten bad, like, Ill get off the bus for Uni and the first thing I do is light a cig

Reece

(Loud) (Slight chuckle)

Bruv that's what I was like 

Listen If we both quit it'll be better. I don't even care about my health like, I'm just broke I need the money, Cant be spending 15 quid a day its stupid 

Less money of cigs means more money of drinks, clubs, food, ... (stammer) bloody everything

Noah

I'm tryna save up for a new bag like

Anyway you wanna go get a drink like 

Reece 

EHHHH ye go on then 

You gonna quit tho ye

We need to have stopped before Christmas

Noah 

(Sarcastically)

Ye Ye We'll see 

Epilogues/Conclusion

Reece

(Angry)

Another friend, Kai, joins them at the table with a cigarette in his mouth. He takes it out 

Kai

Laughter 

Christmas music plays

(How long we have been smoking for. Make fun of Noah for trying to glamorise smoking, the smoking ban maybe, Finally convincing him to attempt to quit, maybe an epilogue in which we meet at a pub again a month or so after and see if we have quit or not.)
