EXT. BLAM! COMICS – DAY

TONY (VO)
Would you like to borrow one of my
testicles?

INT. BLAM! COMICS – TONY’S OFFICE

Tony pushes the “Over” art pages on his desk away.

TONY
‘Cause you need it least one! Man
the fuck up, Felix! What’d
Spider-man do when Mary Jane left
him back in the 80’s? Sit around
and mope? Hell no. He went out
and kicked some villain ass, and
started boning the Black Cat in
spiderwebs all over New York. Do
that!

FELIX
You said there were five good
scenes that showed the relationship
wasn’t going to work.

TONY
Did I? Five sounds generous.

FELIX
Then give me one!

TONY
Will you just let it go?

Felix pushes the pages toward Tony.

FELIX
I can’t! Come on, Tony. One scene
is all I’m asking.

Tony sorts through the comic pages.

TONY
Fine. You want a scene?

Tony picks up a page.

TONY
Alright. This one…

Tony hands the page to Felix.

ON PAGE
An inked drawing of goateed Felix and Faith walking down a boutique-lined street.

TONY (OS)
…The ring scene.

ANIMATED FLASHBACK

EXT. SHOPPING STREET – NIGHT

The drawing on the comic page has come to life. Felix and Faith hold hands walking down the street. Faith holds a shopping bag of clothes, and Felix sips on a milkshake.  They approach Jinx panhandling.

ON JINX’S SIGN:
“Wife kidnapped. Need a buck for ransom.”

JINX
Can the happy couple spare a
dollar?

Faith pulls out her purse.

FELIX
I thought you said you didn’t have any cash?

Faith puts money in Jinx’s jar.

JINX
Thank you, beautiful.

FAITH
I said I didn’t have A LOT of cash.

FELIX
You just gave him a twenty?

They pass a jewelry shop. Faith’s face brightens up and she stops.

FAITH
Can I show you?

FELIX
Show me what?

FAITH
I found it, honey.

Faith grabs Felix by the arm and they enter the jewelry store.

FELIX
Found what?

INT. JEWELRY STORE – NIGHT

A CHIME rings as Faith pulls Felix toward the counter. A snooty JEWELER looks up at them.

JEWELER
Good evening. Oh-

The jeweler looks at Felix and points to a small sign that reads, “Absolutely no food or drink.”

JEWELER
I’m sorry, sir.

Felix shakes his milkshake.

FELIX
Just a sip left.

The jeweler frowns.

FAITH (OS)
There it is!

The jeweler saunters over to Faith and so does Felix.

Faith is looking through a glass case at diamond engagement rings.

FELIX
Oh, God.

Faith looks up at him smiling.

FAITH
Promise me you won’t freak out,
okay?

Felix reluctantly nods.

FAITH
I was in here the other day…
(beams)
…and I found my ring!

JEWELER
Would you like to see it again,
Miss Robbins?

Felix gives the jeweler an inquisitive look.

FELIX
(whispering)
How often do you come in here?

FAITH
Yes, Alphonse, thank you.

The jeweler removes the most exquisite ring from the case, and slips it on Faith’s finger.

Faith’s smile beams as she looks at the ring. She holds out her hand for Felix to admire.

FAITH
Isn’t it beautiful, Felix?

FELIX
Nice. It’s really, really-

Felix holds her ringed hand, and tries to take a peek at the tiny price tag attached.  Before he can turn over the tag, Faith pulls her hand away.

FAITH
I love it!

Faith glides over to a full length mirror and models with the ring, having a ball.

Felix slides over to the jeweler.

FELIX
Hey, Alphonse?

JEWELER
Yes, sir?

FELIX
That ring. How much are we
talking?

JEWELER
A little over thirty-one, sir.

FELIX
Thirty-one hundred.
(relieved)
Doable.

Felix takes the last loud sip of his milkshake.

JEWELER
(chuckles)
Thousand, sir. Thirty-one
thousand.

Felix snorts his milkshake through his nose all over the jeweler and the glass jewelry case.

EXT. STREET – NIGHT

Faith and Felix walk away from the jewelry store. Felix wipes his nose, and is clearly distressed.

FAITH
Are you freaking out, honey?

FELIX
Thirty-one thousand dollars?

Faith nods.

FELIX
For a ring?

FAITH
Baby…

She smiles up at him.

FAITH
…It’s something I’m going to wear
every day for the rest of my life.
Don’t you want your wife to have a
nice ring?

FELIX
Sure. But that’s…

Felix does some quick math on his fingers.

FELIX
…That’s a lot of comic books.

FAITH
Yeah?

FELIX
Yeah.

FAITH
Well, don’t feel any pressure.

FELIX
Of course not.

Faith slides her arm into Felix’s.

FAITH
I’m serious. I’d marry you right
now if you asked me.

FELIX
You would?

FAITH
I would. But don’t, please. Not
for a while. It’s just, I’d like a
nice ring, eventually.

Felix stops and kisses her.

FELIX
You know I’ll do whatever I can to
make you happy.

FAITH
I know. You’re so good to me,
baby.

END ANIMATED FLASHBACK / BACK TO PRESENT DAY

Hey guys.  This is a little announcement/reader tip that might make your “Over” reading experience just a little more enjoyable.  I’m going to explain how to use the “TAG PAGE” feature embedded in the site.

You may have noticed this little widgit under each page and never understood what it was doing there.  Well, it’s a feature for readers who want the site to “remember” what page they last left off reading.  Now, I know most of you don’t miss a single Monday, Wednesday, Friday update ’cause you need your Felix fix, but hey, we’re all busy.  Sometimes you can go a week or two without stopping by the site and need to get caught up.  It happens.

This little widget is for those times, and it saves you the hassle of having to back up one page at a time to where you last left off reading.

Here’s how to use it:

- When you come to the site, read a page, and then before you leave to go back to your internet por- I mean work, just click the little “TAG PAGE” button.  That’s it.  The button will change slightly, and now look like this:

- When you return to overcomic.com on your next visit, displayed will be the most recently updated page.  However, if you just hit the  “GOTO TAG” button, you’ll be magically transported to the page you last read.  This way, you can just page advance, seeing the story pages in their proper order, without revealing any spoilers.

Alright, hope that helps.  Thanks again for reading.

Fuck It (I Don’t Want You Back by Eamon

Key Lyrics: Now it’s, over, but I do admit I’m sad/ It hurts real bad, I cant sweat that, cuz I loved a ho.

Felix Rating: 40 (Anger)

Analysis: I remember cracking up when I first heard this song. Something about the smooth melody, the artist’s high-pitched, sweet sounding voice just absolutely spitting venom. Pretty hilarious. Getting cheated on absolutely sucks. But I wonder sometimes if that doesn’t make it easier? I mean, it’s one thing when people split because they weren’t right for one another. But another if the catalyst for the break was someone stepping out. In such a case, you have something really tangible to rap your venom around. In a sense you get to skip right past the denial phase and lock and load right into anger. Does that make getting over someone easier? Not sure. But if it inspires lyrics like “You played me/ You even gave him head,” well, it can’t be all bad.

Screaming Infidelities by Dashboard Confessional

Key Lyrics: As for now I’m gonna hear the saddest songs/ And sit alone and wonder, how you’re making out/ And as for me I wish that I was anywhere, with anyone, making out.

Felix Rating: 64 (Depression)

Analysis: Okay, so Emo music, gets a bad rap. And as a grown ass man, I really can only suffer so much angsty teen. (I could barely get through the Twilight movie. Too many longing looks for no damn reason.) However, I will admit to liking Dashboard. I think it’s actually impressive (and a bit scary) how during their MTV unplugged session, the studio audience (consisting of a smattering of tweens and teens) sang along….To every. Single. Word. There are times during that live album where Chris Carrabba just stops singing and the audience carries the tune. (Halfway decently, I might add.) Anyway, this song, their first to blow up in the mainstream, does a hell of a job capturing a sense of loss and betrayal. When you absolutely positively need to wallow…Dashboard’s got you covered.

Over It by Katherine McPhee

Key Lyrics: Movin’ on and it’s my time/ You never were a friend of mine/ Hurt at first, a little bit/ But now I’m so over/ So over it.

Felix Rating: 86 (Acceptance)

Analysis: Katherine McPhee is another female singer I have a wee bit of a crush on. Not so much a break-up song, as it is a “Okay, this dude is just fucking with me and isn’t that into me and I’ve finally realized it” song. She’s got a good voice. I’ll allow it.
