I was watching Scrubs when I envisioned this Scenario. I apologize in advance for the language.
The Scene:
We are sitting in Central Park, waiting for NYC's Summerstaged Romeo and Juliet to begin. JACKIE took too long at the gym and ran late to the performance, sweaty, smelly, hungry, and irate. RACHEL is really excited to be there, and annoyed for my incompetence. ZACH BRAFF, totally incognito, sits on the other side of me probably with a friend or something on the other side of him.
RACHEL: Glad you made it.
JACKIE: (looking strait ahead) Me too.
RACHEL: Are you okay?
JACKIE: (still looking straight ahead) Yeah.
RACHEL: You seem kind of pissed.
JACKIE: What do you want, Rachel? I'm hot and I'm hungry and I probably smell like sweat and vomit from the gym, and Zach Braff is sitting next to me.
(ZACH BRAFF turns and looks in confused acknowledgment)
JACKIE: (to ZACH BRAFF) Garden State sucked.
ZACH BRAFF: Nuh-uh.
JACKIE: Did it even have a point?
ZACH BRAFF: Yeah, it -
JACKIE: Shut the fuck up.
ZACH BRAFF stops and is angry. There is a silence and everyone looks straight ahead.
ZACH BRAFF - You from Long Island or something?
JACKIE: Will you watch the fucking Shakespeare?
RACHEL: Yeah, Juliet just drank some poison and Romeo thinks she's dead and I want to know what happens.
JACKIE: Yeah.
ZACH BRAFF: Sorry.
JACKIE: Sorry won't put those two hours of valuable independent film watching time back in my hand, okay?
RACHEL: Dude, you're totally yelling at Zach Braff.
JACKIE: You're right. (To ZB) Sorry.
RACHEL: You think the gift of time would go in your hand?
JACKIE: Where else would it go?
(RACHEL Shrugs. ZB Shakes his head in disbelief with his friend sitting next to him. JACKIE screams at the stage.)
Jackie: No Juliet, put the dagger down! (She winces)
ZACH BRAFF: I understand why you smell like sweat...but why also vomit?
JACKIE: Shut it, Jersey Boy.
RACHEL: He's also a Northwestern Alum.
ZACH BRAFF:(to rachel) Oh, you go to Northwestern?
RACHEL: (excited/interested) Yeah, I hear you're also Jewish...
(conversation between RACHEL and ZACH BRAFF ensues briefly as all three are escorted from the theatre for being to loud.)

I keep catching Scrubs on TV. I don't know if Rachel could stand Zach Braff for too too long.
