We’ll call it love - Presley Collins

An excerpt from “We’ll Call It Love”:

INT. CHAIN COFFEE SHOP - LATER

Morgan approaches POOR, UNSUSPECTING BARISTA, ready to take her bad morning out on them.

PRESLEY (O.S)

(yelling to Morgan)

Wait!

PRESLEY COLLINS is slipping past people, quickly making her way to Morgan. She is in her late 20s, beautiful - Zero makeup, gorgeous, you want to hate her but can't cause she's NICE.

Presley arrives in front of Morgan loudly, chaotically, holding her own coffee tray, her wardrobe and accessories eclectic. She is the type of person who speaks as if the world is on fire and there's no time for commas or air.

PRESLEY

That could have been so bad, if I got the coffee order wrong again ROB would have kicked my sad little butt out with the pathetic box of my desk belongings, which is like, one dead plant and a stolen box of sticky notes.

Presley takes the liberty of swapping the trays herself. Poor, unsuspecting barista's shoulders relax. Crisis averted.

Morgan is perplexed by the enigma that is Presley Collins.

Presley gestures to the pool noodles.

Praise for Presley Collins from “The Script Lab” 2024 Feature Contest:

“…But that shows just how good Presley is as a character. She is such a delight that you initially side with her despite the fact that you know this is wrong. She’s just so cute and precious.”

“She isn’t as outright hilarious as Morgan is but she holds her own. So much of the script depends on her and she pulls it off.”

“Plus these characters are also fast. In that they do a lot of things impulsively or with a lot of energy. Sally even calls Presley super talkative and this reader pictured as not just talkative but super fast. The kind that get a whole paragraph in a single breath. Picture her zipping through her lines and they become even funnier.”

Praise for Presley Collins from “Outstanding Screenplays” 2024 Feature Competition:

“Presley is the perfect best friend for Morgan, the right character to have by her side - and her relationship with Emma is rewarding and eventually plays an important part in the plot towards the end of the script.”
