Master list of scene ideas to come back to

A teenager is caught sneaking out of the house by his grandfather to see a girl and the two have a talk about girls, love and sex.

A young couple in a car are on there way to a family gathering. After a beat of silence the girl looks over to the guy and says "I don't want to tell my parents we met on e-harmony."

Discovering that his pants are really wrinkled when he takes them out of his closet, a guy decides that he could just try and play it off by saying (jokingly?) its the new look. He rehearses that line, "Its the look." a few times to himself. Cut to the party where he says to a couple of girls looking at his pants "Its the look." They walk away.

A guy deals with a bitter break up by reanacting how it went with puppets in his apartment.

Time Life presents "Tom Waits sings his interprations of children's songs."

A bunch of regular guys go to a mystical, magical "lady of the lake" type figure to wish that their friend pulls through something that ails him.

The inner monolouge of a guy writing an apology letter (mic off stage) to his friend for what he did when he got very high and drunk the night before as he sits at his computer trying to write it getting more and more frustrated about word choice describing the bizarre and disgusting things he had done.

A cheery and upbeat (albeit nervouse) "setting up second date/just saying hi and seeing hows it going" phone conversation gets rocked when the guy on one end inadvertantly shares that his mother got the news that she dodged breast cancer the other day. The guy panics and apologizes for getting into such personal details so fast and then hits a slippery slope of sharing more and more things really nervous really fast.

A guy finds out that his buddy keeps ethnic slurs next to his friend's names on his cell phone's contact list. (e.g. Eric the Pole, Mikey the mick, Paul the Kraut). This is shocking as his friend never conducts himself as a racist or even someone who thought that way.
