    Hey there.

    If your intrested here is an early draft of a comedy we are making. Its the first time me and a friend of mine have ever worked on a script togather. Tell me what you think.

    There may be spelling mistakes and all kinds of terrible stuff in this draft. If it annoys you that much stop reading.

    The finished movie is looking at being about 20 minutes long.

    Enjoy.

    Or fuckin hate the choice is yours.


    INT. BEDROOM -EVENING

    We are inside a very tidy bedroom. There are selected
    CLASSIC MOVIE POSTERS on the walls. There is asmall
    STEREO HI-FI and a PORTABLE TV. In the centre of the
    room leaning against the wall and next to a large CLOTHES
    WARDROBE is a Large DOUBLE BED. The two doors of the
    WARDROBE are open, but they are partially blocking our
    view of what's inside.

    We hear noises coming from the inside of the WARDROBE.

    Suddenly MAX HIGGINS comes stumbling out. HE is wearing a
    washing piny/apron; HE is carrying a large collection of
    Magazines. He's obviously been tiding up.

    MAX is 23 years old. He's a good-looking guy who has an air
    of responsibility about him. Hence, him actually bothering to
    tidy his room.

    He drops the collection of MAGAZINES onto the bed and we see
    for the first time they are all PORN MAGAZINES.

    Max stands back admiring his varied collection. He emits a
    sheepish smile.

    MAX
    This could well be a record. I
    don't think I've ever had this many
    birds on my bed before.
    (Thinking to himself)
    Could you class this as an orgy? I
    mean there are four of you and one
    of me, I could crack open the KY,
    dim the lights, warm the old
    Higgins right-hander.

    We hear the DOOR BELL ring, followed by some frantic door
    knocking

    MAX
    Shit!

    Max rushes to hide the porn magazines under the sheets and
    goes to answer the door.

    INT. LOUNGE -EVENING

    Max walks through the tidy lounge. He picks up a CAN OF BEER
    from the Coffey table and heads for the front door.

    INT. FRONT DOOR -EVENING

    Max opens the door to see his best mate CLINT SMITH. CLINT is
    22 years old and dressed for a night out on the town. He
    pulls a funny face at Max when he sees him.

    CLINT
    Well would you look at this ball
    and chain lovin'muva fucker. What's
    up with you Snoop? You look like
    your expecting the police to bust
    in and charge you for perving.

    MAX
    What the fuck are you doing here?
    It's only 6:30 where not going out
    till 8? I'm in the middle of
    something man bad timing.

    CLINT
    Whoa! What's up? You jerkin off or
    summet? Pulling your pud before we
    hit the city eh? Not that old
    tactic...

    MAX
    What? Me? Jerkin? Don't be silly.
    I've got the KYM now haven't I?
    I'll leave the amateur shenanigans
    to the likes you boy'o's. Ha ha
    ha...

    CLINT
    Tell me about it. So what are you
    actually doing in their? What's so
    important that your old school
    buddy has to stand out here holding
    his pink cucumber?

    MAX
    I was just sprucing the gaff up a
    bit, making the place more homely
    and that. It's a one man operation
    mate.

    CLINT
    Homely? Are you having a laugh?
    More womanly you mean if KYM'S got
    anything to do with it?

    MAX
    No, no not necessarily. This manly
    domain is still ruled by a bloke
    King. Sort of...

    CLINT
    (Sniggers)
    Fuck, if you've put any plants or
    anything pink in that lounge I have
    permission to chop your spuds off
    and declare you half women. It's
    says so in the official blokes'
    dictionary, page 69 lines 4-5. I
    won't let you turn this place into
    a puffs parlour on the count of a
    woman.

    MAX
    Me? Pink and plants? That'll be the
    day. I'd sooner have the opp than
    resort to shit like that. KYM knows
    her place and knows better to act
    all pink and fluffy and shit. Come
    on mate do you expect any dodgy
    antics like that coming from the 4
    times Cock & Beaver Inn drinking
    champion? Surely a rubber stamp of
    a mans true manliness...

    CLINT
    OK, I'll let you off? this time.
    (beat)
    Oh, and erm, why are you pissing
    about doing this now I thought KYM
    was coming round in the morning to
    move in and more importantly help
    you recover from this all-mighty
    piss up where going on tonight?

    MAX
    She wants me to sort the house out
    whilst I mentally and physically
    can. Me pist and a house that looks
    like Bin Landen's weekend cave
    retreat ain't gonna go down to well
    on our first day together is it?
    She might even get a flyer and come
    home early tonight, and I've
    already told her its sorted, hence
    me running round like a blue arse
    fly. If KYM found out I was telling
    porkies, she'd be putting them
    balls in a gravy ball stew.

    CLINT
    Cool. Right speaking of balls. I'm
    freezing me dick off out here can I
    come in now or what?

    Clint does come in. Max rushes into the lounge and removes
    the potted plant from the mantelpiece and the quaint pinkish
    beanbag Kym ordered him to put in the lounge.

    MAX
    You want a beer?

    CLINT
    I wouldn't say no.

    MAX
    Well, you know where the fridge is.

    CLINT
    (Tutt's)
    Cheeky Bar-steward.

    MAX
    I might be cheeky, but I ain't your
    bar-steward.

    CLINT
    Man, what's eating Gilbert Grape?

    MAX
    Shit, sorry mate,I think I'm
    finally realizing what's happening
    tomorrow. I'm growing up fast Clint
    and my world ain't catching up with
    me.

    CLINT
    What the fuck are you worrying
    about? You got a great woman, a
    nice house and mates who'll look
    after you till the end. Put some
    shades on, the future's looking
    bright for masseur Higgins's and
    his female companion.

    MAX
    You might have half a brain cell in
    that head of yours, but sometimes
    you speak some serious sense.

    CLINT
    How true. Tell the ladies I'm not
    just a big cock after all.
    (Points both his hands
    towards his genital
    region)
    I do have more strings on my OBO.

    MAX
    Yeah, erm, OK.

    CLINT
    Spread the gospel, my Pedigree
    chum.

    Clint heads for the kitchen and disappears out of sight.

    MAX
    Anyway's, I've just got to do
    something, finish that job off.
    I'll be back with you in a minute.
    OK?

    CLINT
    (From the kitchen)
    Lord, If you must.

    Max heads back to his bedroom.

    INT. BEDROOM -EVENING

    Max rushes to the bed and pulls the sheets back to reveal all
    of his magazines. He grabs a black bin liner from the floor
    and starts to put the magazines into it.

    CLINT
    (Out of shot)
    Fuck this, come on man what you
    doing in there, you can't leave
    your guests twiddling their thumbs--

    MAX
    --I'll be right out. Stay there
    man. Theirs an erm, infestation,
    maggots, I mean ants. Shit.
    (thinks to him self what
    am I saying)

    Clint ignores Max's request and walks into the room catching
    Max in the process of bagging his filth ridden magazines.

    CLINT
    You dirty bastard, I new it. Looks
    like someone's been having maggot
    problems after all? and from the
    looks of this shouldn't you be
    putting that schumtter in a museum?
    I mean look at the chops on that
    one? Vintage muff ain't my bag.

    CLINT point to some God-awful amateur muff merchant.

    MAX
    I was trying to get rid of these
    before Kym gets here. I don't want
    her thinking I'm some chuffin
    pervert do I?

    Clint comes and sits on the bed and starts flicking through
    one of the magazines.

    CLINT
    Mate she's seen the infamous perv
    movie from Amsterdam. Will you
    chill out?

    MAX
    That was a set up; I thought I was
    frolicking in the bushes with 19
    year-old Dutch lady student, not
    one off the local action girls.
    Mate I'm nervous, I just wanna be
    prepared for touch down, what is it
    the scouts say, "Fail to prepare,
    prepare to fail"?

    CLINT
    The scouts? Your beginning to sound
    like a girl-fuckin-guide. There
    only slop mag's, anyway she
    probably secretly dig's em, you now
    what office sluts are like?

    MAX
    Mate your talking about my future
    misses.

    CLINT
    Oh yeah sorry man. Got a bit taken
    away with all this ancient muff on
    show, I mean it's an international
    muff circus!
    (Points at various covers)
    Look we got white pussy, black
    pussy, Spanish pussy, hot pussy,
    hairy pussy,
    (Points at a particularly
    ugly bird on a cover)
    I bet she's gotta smelly pussy, we
    got the works here don.

    MAX
    Look there you go again, quoting
    the flicks. You've only been here
    ten minutes are your off.

    CLINT
    What are you on about?

    MAX
    Your unoriginal dumb ass. If it's
    not Star wars or Lord Of The Rings
    it's Tarrantino and his latest
    blood bath. You do it all the-

    CLINT
    Enough! You're chapping me ass you
    condescending shite.

    MAX
    (Sarcastic)
    Oh, hit a nerve their touchy
    touchy...

    CLINT
    (Joking)
    I should kick-yo ass for mocking me
    and even contemplating getting rid
    of all this funky merchandise. Your
    one strange freaky porn loving
    weirdo Max I'll grant you that.

    MAX
    They have got to go. It breaks me
    heart?

    CLINT
    Man I can't believe you, giving up
    your collection for a girl. What is
    the world coming too?

    MAX
    Clint were getting married. She's
    not just some bit on the side
    anymore. Where moving to the next
    level. No more of this "ladz" crap.

    CLINT
    Next level? What about us? Keep it
    real man.

    MAX
    What do you mean what about us?
    Well I know what you mean but--

    CLINT
    --But, but what am I gonna do?
    Where am I gonna hang out? I can't
    play ISS forever on me Todd, I need
    multi-player mayhem!

    MAX
    I'm not getting into this again.
    Anyway you can come round at
    weekends and muck about. I might
    even build us both a tree house eh,
    how does that sound?

    Clint's uninterested in Max's sarcastic remarks.

    MAX
    Look mate, we said we were going
    out tonight to close a chapter.
    It's not just me and KYM moving on,
    where going in a new direction too.
    These are exciting times for both
    of us.

    Long beat.

    CLINT
    Yeah, man your right. We've got to
    celebrate your last night as a free
    man.

    MAX
    Exactly. So are you going to help
    me bag these birds or what?

    Clint goes over and helps Max fill the bag with the
    magazines.

    CLINT
    Man, this one looks like your mom,
    hey, can I keep it?

    MAX
    Hmm, No.

    FADE OUT.

    FADE IN:

    INT. LOUNGE -EVENING

    Clint sits on the SOFA still drinking a can of Larger. He
    watches TV and waits for Max who is in the other room.

    CLINT
    The clock is ticking Captain Pervo.
    The taxi is gonna be here any
    second.

    MAX
    (O.S)
    OK. OK. I'm coming. Chill out you
    eager vodka drinking beaver.

    Max enters the lounge. He is now smartly dressed and ready
    for a night on the piss.

    MAX
    So where shall we go tonight then?
    I'm thinking SPUNKIES till twelve
    then dance the night away in
    BOGULE'S DISCOTECH?

    CLINT
    It's your call, sounds grand, I
    don't mind mate. As longs as the
    pints and pussy are in equal
    measures.

    MAX
    Listen my vulgar friend. Your on
    your own tonight on the ladies
    front, I'm their solely for the
    tipple, no more pissing about from
    me.

    CLINT
    Yeah right, once you've had your
    fill theirs no stopping you, fuckin
    Stringfellow the second.

    MAX
    B.S.

    CLINT
    Face it, its all true.

    MAX
    I'm as honest as a Mormon. I
    Haven't had another bird since I
    met KYM.

    Suddenly the phone rings from the other side of the room.

    CLINT
    Speak of the she devil..

    Max heads to the phone and picks it up.

    MAX
    (Into the phone)
    Hello. Oh. Hi babe.
    (To Clint)
    It's KYM.

    CLINT
    Respect my pshycic ass. I'm using
    your crapper. I can't listen to you
    two soppy loves birds, correction
    'turd's', talk mush.

    CLINT exits the lounge.

    MAX
    (Into the phone to KYM)
    Where are you?

    INT. OFFICE -EVENING

    KYM is a 21-year-old woman. MAX'S bride-to-be. A fine looking
    blonde lady. She sits at a desk and talks down the phone.

    KYM
    I'm still at work. I'm staying back
    with MANDY; the work experience lad
    messed up the IT system. I'm going
    to be here all night. And I though
    I could have had a flyer tonight,
    oh well...

    INT. LOUNGE -EVENING

    MAX
    You're joking? I hope your not
    going to be to late tomorrow, I
    wanted to wake up next to you my
    love bumpkin.

    INT. OFFICE -EVENING

    KYM
    Oh baby. We should be getting away
    about 10:30. We've got to wait for
    technician to come and, you know,
    do his thing.

    MAX
    Can't you let MANDY stay on her
    tod?

    KYM
    In the office all night? That's a
    bit shitty don't you think?

    MAX
    Its a special time for us, she'll
    understand.

    KYM
    I know it's a special time for us,
    but she's a friend and I can't
    leave her in the lurch. It's a
    shame I cant come over tonight but,
    sadly, that's dopey students for
    ya. Oh and by the way did you pick
    up those plants and that pinkish
    beanbag from my Mothers?

    INT. LOUNGE -EVENING

    MAX
    Erm, erm, yes course I did. The
    tasteful plant stand's proudly on
    the mantelpiece and as-a-matter-of
    fact, I'm sat on that lovely
    pinkish beanbag as I speak.
    (He isn't)
    Its really nice isn't it; the feel
    of fur on your skin is really cosy.

    CLINT comes into the lounge; MAX acts all bullish and clears
    his throat man-style.

    KYM
    Are you OK?

    MAX
    Why yes, just a
    (coughs)
    Man cold.

    Clint thinks he's missing out on something and decides to
    butt in.

    CLINT
    (Shouting for KYM to here)
    I think he caught that from "Lisa
    the leper" down The Cock & Beaver
    last night.

    MAX
    (Covering the phone and
    talking to Clint)
    Will you shut the fuck up? Your
    gonna get me in the shit.

    INT. OFFICE -EVENING

    KYM
    I take it Clint's there.

    INT. LOUNGE -EVENING

    MAX
    Yep. You remember, were going out
    tonight, one last jolly boys
    outing?

    INT. OFFICE -EVENING

    KYM
    Oh yes. He's not staying tonight is
    he? I can't have your pet baboon
    pissing about in the morning,
    sleeping walking all over the
    place, tomorrows a special day
    remember. I might be early...
    (Pause)
    Look babe I've got to ask you
    something.

    INT LOUNGE -EVENING

    MAX
    What's up?

    We here a taxi bib its horn from outside.

    CLINT
    Taxi's here.

    MAX
    (To Clint)
    OK. One-minute man.

    CLINT
    Hurry up Max these fuckin taxis'
    wont wait all night. And I'm damned
    if I'm ringing another one, them
    birds on the taxi line are ruff as
    fuck. They keep chatting me up...

    INT OFFICE -EVENING

    KYM
    Look honey. I've got a big, big
    favour to ask of you.

    INT LOUNGE -EVENING

    MAX
    What, Fire away.

    CLINT
    (Singing)
    The taxi is going to leave. The
    taxi is going to leave. The taxi is
    going to leave.

    MAX
    (TO KYM)
    What's up? What's the favour? Are
    you there?

    The phone has gone dead. We see Clint has unplugged the phone
    line.

    INT OFFICE -EVENING

    KYM
    Hello?
    (Beat)
    Max?

    INT LOUNGE -EVENING

    MAX
    Hello?

    Max sees what Clint has done.

    MAX
    You really are a class A Moppet.
    She could have wanted to get some
    stuff for tomorrow, for a meal or
    something or even buy some choc--

    CLINT
    Look I'm not sorry. You have the
    rest of your OTT loved up lives to
    talk shite to each other. Rather
    than doing it now and eating up our
    drinking time. So come on man lets
    get this cab and hit tiles.

    MAX
    You're a cheeky cunt. She was about
    to ask me something special.

    CLINT
    Yeah to take a vow of celibacy.
    Oops forgot. She asked you to marry
    her last week.

    MAX
    Yeah, yeah. You don't know what
    we've got. Something special.

    CLINT
    Jesus Christ Dawson. Let her ask in
    the morning.

    MAX
    That's it. I'm going to have to
    drink your soft arse under the
    table tonight just to shut your
    whining grid up.

    CLINT
    (Smiling)
    Now where talkin.

    MAX
    Come on lets go.

    Max and Clint leave the lounge into the hall CLOSE UP of the
    front door slamming shut.

    FREEZE ON THE DOOR

    (PAUSE)

    TO GO, LATER?

    THE DOOR BURST'S OPEN. MAX AND CLINT STAGGER INTO THE HALL
    WAY, FIRING PARTY POPPERS AND GENERALLY ACTING DAFT.

    STILL ON THE DOOR THEY BOTH GO INTO THE LOUNGE. AGAIN IN THE
    LOUNGE (OFF CAMERA) WE HEAR THEM ACTING DAFT, CHANTING
    FOOTBALL SONGS AND MAKING SILLY NOISES. THE LIGHTS ARE BEING
    FLICKED ON AND OFF.

    CLINT
    (O.S)
    Hey look, it's Judge Judy!

    MAX
    (Groggily)
    Cool?

    We now hear nothing; they are obviously sat down watching an
    engrossing episode of Judge Judy.

    Suddenly loud snoring is heard O.S.

    FADE TO BLACK.

    FADE IN:

    INT. LOUNGE -MORNING

    It's early morning. The lounge is the exact opposite to what
    is was the night before. It looks like a bomb has hit it.
    There are takeaway wrappers all over the floor. There is a
    half eaten kebab on the table. There are beer cans scattered
    around the room.

    On the sofa is Max. He is wearing just his shorts and a T
    shirt. He looks in a very bad way. His jacket covers him up.

    On the other side of the room is Clint. Clint is fully
    clothed and is sat up strait in a chair. He could be mistaken
    for being awake but on closer inspection its clear that he's
    asleep. His left eye is half open. It looks very strange. But
    other than this Clint looks in no worse a shape than he did
    the night before.

    Clint eventually wakes first and takes in his surroundings.
    He sees Max sleeping on the sofa and checks out the state of
    the room. He gives a sly smile.

    He sits up and looks around his feet for something. He spots
    an empty larger can. He picks it up and launches it across
    the room at Max's head. It's a perfect shot. It hits him
    square in the face.

    Max jumps up a lets out a yelp. He rubs his face and wonders
    what the hell happened.

    Clint pretends to be sleeping still.

    MAX
    What the hell?
    (Rubs his face)

    CLINT
    Hey. Keep it down over there. Some
    of us are in the recovery position.

    MAX
    Sorry man. I was dreaming.

    CLINT
    Me too; a really cool one. I was
    getting it on with that big bird of
    countdown.

    MAX
    (Laughing)
    Count down.

    CLINT
    Yeah.

    MAX
    Rachel Whitely?

    CLINT
    I don't know her name.

    MAX
    You are a sick man, she's a mess,
    I've often mistaken her for a bloke
    and them suit numbers what the
    fuck?

    CLINT
    That's Richard whitely, for fuck's
    sake.
    Not the host or the brains in
    dictionary corner, the bird who
    does the letters.

    MAX
    Ahhh Carol Vordamon. Then again,
    She's just as bad.

    CLINT
    Yeah that's great coming from
    fuckin Larry Flint over there.
    (Beat)
    What happened to that sexy red head
    you were smooching with last night?
    Did she feel Mr. Elfcock lerking
    down below and run for the hills?

    MAX
    What. That was you.

    CLINT
    Shit. Are you sure?

    MAX
    Of course I'm sure. I was out just
    for a beer and the beer alone. You
    were like a dog on heat in that
    nightclub.

    CLINT
    Yeah? Cool.

    MAX
    Look at the state of this place.
    (Beat)
    What time is it?

    CLINT
    Eight twenty in the AM.

    MAX
    Shit. KYM is going to be round here
    sharpish. Quick help me tidy up.

    Max jumps up and starts picking up the rubbish- THE KEBAB
    RAPPERS - that cover the floor.

    MAX
    I don't remember buying this shit?
    (Beat)
    Are you planning on helping? Or you
    just gonna sit their like a turd in
    the pan waiting to be flushed away
    to its inevitable doom?

    CLINT
    What? Shit I can't operate till
    I've had a hot drink, never mind
    that bollocks. So how about it bro?
    Your guest is thirsty.

    MAX
    You're a cheeky git.
    BEAT
    I'll make us a brew and you can
    start to tidy up. OK?

    CLINT
    I'll Snooch to that. I have seven
    sugars and copious amounts of the
    white stuff. Milk I mean. What-da
    ya-say-Comprenday?

    MAX
    It's done. Just start cleaning up.

    Max heads for the kitchen and Clint leans back in his chair.
    He has no intension of cleaning up.

    INT. KITCHEN -MORNING

    Max rubbing his eyes and suffering from a very bad hangover.
    He walks into the kitchen and heads over to the Sink. He
    pours him self a glass of water. He drinks the water,
    switches the kettle on, and waits for it to boil. Suddenly
    the look on Max's face changes. He senses something in the
    room. We hear the light sound of crunching cereal. Max slowly
    turns round and looks at the Kitchen table.

    There is a sexy women sat eating a bowl of cereal. She is
    wearing a pair of shorts and a T-shirt. She looks up at Max
    and smiles. Max looks back in disbelief. He gives her a
    broken smile in return, and walks out of the room.

    INT. LOUNGE -MORNING

    Clint is still sat back in his chair. He reaches into the
    side of the chair and pulls out a porno mag hidden there. His
    eyes are fixed on the magazine. He hears Max come in and puts
    his hand out ready to receive his drink.

    Max stands there looking at Clint with his hand stretched
    out. He shakes his head.

    MAX
    (Calmly)
    Clint.

    CLINT
    (Eyes still on the
    magazine)
    Yeah.

    MAX
    Clint-erus.

    CLINT
    (Looking up)
    Don't call me that you know it
    winds me up. What the fuck's up?

    MAX
    How much do you remember about last
    night?

    CLINT
    Everything, practically, why?

    MAX
    Cool. Good - Good. So you will
    remember that pretty blond. You
    know. 5ft5, curvy, green eyes,
    bushy tail?

    CLINT
    Yeah I think so.

    MAX
    Great. Then you will remember
    bringing her back here to my fuckin
    house last night then wont you.

    CLINT
    I never brought anyone back here.

    MAX
    Yes you did.

    CLINT
    No. I didn't.

    MAX
    Well who the hell is that sat in my
    kitchen at the table eating my
    crunchy-nut fuckin cornflakes.

    CLINT
    Look I never brought anyone back
    here. I know I didn't. I can prove
    it.

    Clint puts his hand in his back pocket and pulls out his
    wallet. He takes out a large gold coin condom from his pocket
    and shows it to Max.

    MAX
    What is that?

    CLINT
    This is Pandora v67.

    MAX
    What are you on about?

    CLINT
    I've chosen the path of only poking
    the finest birds on the planet.
    Because they are the best I use the
    best, hence my long running
    association with The Pandora. If
    she's still there in my back pocket
    the next morning, it means I have
    shown true spiritual balance and
    not shagged the nearest pisst
    minger in sight, it also shows I've
    not been lucky with a fit
    bird?bastard...

    MAX
    Shut the fuck up.

    CLINT
    It's the truth my friend. It's a
    test of my inner strength.
    (Holds out the condom)
    This is a direct route to the Jedi
    council. Pandora calms my
    temptation, shows I'm in tune with
    my mediclorians. As long as it's
    with me, and it's not been used I
    know I'm pure of cock.

    MAX
    (Shakes head)
    What. The. Fuck? What are you on
    about you Fuckin loon? Maybe you
    didn't use a condom.

    CLINT
    Impossible. Wouldn't happen.

    MAX
    Why's that then?

    CLINT
    When I was nine my dad told me
    about his second cousin on his Moms
    side. The infamous Billy Brisket.
    Anyway Billy went out one night and
    met this doll. I mean a real classy
    woman. Anyway that night he gets
    her back to his place and she
    fuck's him. This was no little
    "poke under the stairs, where's me
    broom handle" crap, I mean the fuck
    of life time. A fuck that can make
    or brake a man. A fuck of legendary
    proportions, one that trandsends
    time, language, culture. Destroys
    barriers of race, creed, ignorance.
    One that could send a mans sack to
    the moon and back.

    MAX
    Sounds classy.

    CLINT
    Anyway, She fuck's him and leaves
    in the middle of the night. Billy
    boy wakes up, feeling slightly used
    and abused but he goes to work like
    any honest working man does. Three
    days later he goes to take a piss
    and he starts pissin snot.

    MAX
    What?

    CLINT
    Snot. He is pissin snot; He goes to
    the doctors a day later they had to
    amputate his Dick. A week later
    both his nad's had to go too.
    (Teary eyed, not to be taken
    seriously)
    That fuck machine turned Billy
    Brisket into a fully blown Man
    bitch. All man, no cock.

    MAX
    Shut the fuck up.

    CLINT
    True story. The act was so un-human
    like - plus she had some fucked up
    STD - that his plonker was well
    truly plonked. Forever.

    MAX
    Your dad told you this when you
    were nine?

    CLINT
    What can I say? My parents were big
    believers in sex education.

    MAX
    Tell me about it...
    BEAT
    Fuckin, Lets get back to the
    problem at hand. If you never
    brought her here and I never who
    the fuck did.

    CLINT
    Wait a minute. Who said you never?

    MAX
    Me. I'm in love. I'm getting
    married.

    Max is now putting his on his pants from the night before. He
    puts them on. He takes a packet of smokes from the table and
    looks for a lighter.

    MAX
    I never even spoke to a woman last
    night. I just drank my drinks and
    smoked my smokes.

    Max feels his pants for a lighter. He finds one in his side
    pocket and pulls it out. As he does a small red card falls
    out of his pocket and to the floor.

    Clint picks up the card and reads it.

    INSERT. LADYBIRDS ESCORTS for whatever you desire.

    Clint turns the card and shows it to Max

    CLINT
    What's this then?

    MAX
    I don't know.

    CLINT
    Well it fell out of your pocket.

    MAX
    But...

    CLINT
    I'll tell you who brought her here.
    It was Mr. "I'm in love." Mr. "I'm
    getting married." Mr "I wouldn't
    poke Cat Deeley if she came through
    that door" Face it man, Capt.
    Pinkie wanted one more ride on the
    wild slide, and you brought home a
    fuckin hooker. May god strike you
    down and--

    MAX
    ----But... I.... She... I can't
    have. I would have remembered. You
    would have remembered.

    CLINT
    Hey. Speak for yourself man. I
    can't remember anything about last
    night. Result.

    MAX
    Me neither.
    (Beat)
    Wait a minute. You just said you
    remembered everything.

    CLINT
    That was before I realized you had
    a sick fuckin addiction to hookers.

    MAX
    What. I'm not addicted to hookers.
    I've never even been with a hooker
    intentionally. She can't be a
    hooker not in my house. She can't
    be. Kym's home soon. She can't be a
    fuckin hooker. Besides she doesn't
    look like a hooker. She
    looks...good?

    CLINT
    What listen to your self? You're
    being irrational. Have you seen
    Pretty Women?

    MAX
    What?

    CLINT
    Don't let the looks fool you man.
    These can be vicious bitches I
    telling ya. Let me take a look.

    INT. KITCHEN -MORNING

    Max walks into the Kitchen walks up to the kettle and
    switches it on again. He takes a look at the girl who is
    still eating her cornflakes. He smiles at her she smiles back
    and he leaves the room.

    INT. LOUNGE -MORNING

    MAX
    So? What do you think?

    CLINT
    She's the dictionary definition of
    hooker all right. Your fucked.

    MAX
    Shit. That's it. I am fucked. If
    KYM finds her I'm telling you now
    she's going to leave me. Worse
    still she'll probably beat me up.
    (Beat)
    That's it. I'm kicking the hoe out.

    CLINT
    Wait a minute. Are you crazy? Cos
    these crazy Hoe's are. You go in
    there, try, and kick here out. She
    might go crazy. She could have a
    weapon or something. Even if she
    does leave quietly what's to stop
    her coming back and telling Kym. Or
    hitting you for cash every time she
    want's. I'm telling you man,
    blackmail is a good little earner
    for her kind.

    MAX
    How the hell do you know all this?

    CLINT
    Hey man. I read the papers. I watch
    Sky news, I'm down with the street
    shit.

    MAX
    OK then. What do you suggest wide
    boy?

    CLINT
    We should negotiate. Pay her off
    now. Let her leave on good terms.

    MAX
    I don't know.

    CLINT
    I do. Trust me.

    MAX
    OK come on, but we've got to get
    the skates on man.

    INT. KITCHEN -MORNING

    The two guys enter the kitchen nervously. The woman is still
    sat at the table finishing her Corn flakes. She watches the
    guys as they approach her at the table.

    Clint walks over and takes a seat at the table he looks at
    the women and gives her a knowing smile and nods. The women
    smiles back.

    Clint doesn't make it to the table and heads for the kettle.
    He switches it on and turns to the women. The three of them
    just share an awkward silence until the women speaks.

    WOMEN
    Hey thanks for letting me spend the
    night by the way. It was really too
    late to get a motel.

    The guys don't say a word.

    WOMEN
    No. Really thanks guys cos you
    could have been a real ass holes
    about it.

    Clint decides to break the guys silence and say something.

    CLINT
    (Grinning)
    Really it was our pleasure. We like
    handing out pleasure, just like
    yourself...

    WOMEN
    Yeah.
    (Beat)
    OK.

    Max gives Clint a nod as to say ask her about the money.

    CLINT
    So how much do you charge for
    professional session.

    Max can't believe what CLINT'S just said.

    WOMEN
    A minimum fee of 30. But it usually
    doesn't take me longer than an hour
    to do my thing.

    MAX
    Thirty? Is that all?

    WOMEN
    It's the standard.

    CLINT
    So what's the average amount of
    clients you have a day?

    WOMEN
    What? A day? Oh I'm not to sure.

    CLINT
    A rough guesstimate?

    WOMEN
    Well on a good day I can do about
    six or seven clients...anymore and
    fatigue starts setting in...it
    nackers me out sometimes.

    MAX
    Six or seven? Sweet frickin Jesus.

    CLINT
    You trying to get'em all in before
    its too late? That seems alot.

    WOMEN
    You could say that. My fingers
    won't be this nimble forever.

    CLINT
    Oh your a finger women eh?

    WOMEN
    I think natural is best; Just the
    basic tools. I don't use any
    machines/appliances - products or
    even lubricants for that matter.

    CLINT
    (Amazed)
    Sweet Fuckin Jesus.

    MAX
    Hey. Hey. Hey. Watch your mouth
    will you. Hook-ladies present.

    CLINT
    What? She doesn't care.

    WOMEN
    (To Max)
    No. It's OK. Really.

    MAX
    Still watch your fuckin mouth.
    Shit.. Oh..
    (To women)
    Sorry

    WOMEN
    Don't worry about it. Some of my
    other clients are bit gobby too.

    MAX
    OK. Erm, Look I don't remember your
    name. It was a heavy night last
    night.

    WOMEN
    It was. You to where getting a
    little rambunctious. My names
    Jasmine by the way.

    MAX
    OK. Jasmine we need to talk.

    JASMINE
    Is it OK if I just go and get
    dressed first, go and put one of my
    numbers on?

    MAX
    Erm? Yeah?sure

    CLINT
    I'm not bothered. Are you bothered
    Max?

    MAX still can't believe what's going on.

    JASMINE
    (Jokingly)
    I insist. I'll be right back.

    Jasmine stands up and leaves the room.

    Clint checks out her arse as she leaves.

    CLINT
    I'm surprise Pandora v67 stayed in
    last night. I must be getting
    pretty powerful..

    Max goes over to the table and starts talking to Clint.

    MAX
    (Whispering)
    Dude. This isn't exactly going to
    fuckin plan here. I thought you
    were gonna ask her about the pay
    off. Alls we know is that she takes
    it up the arse o-naturel and she's
    nimble with a fingers. We've got to
    get her out of here now.

    CLINT
    Hold the fuckin phone here Storm
    Trooper. This is your gig, your
    solving this prob-lem-o. I'm just
    Emperor Palpatine watching the
    battle from the Death Star, out of
    harms way an all. Saying that
    though, I wouldn't mind riding
    through her Trench using only the
    force to guide me torpedo in. Dark
    or light, good or evil, destroying
    my mind these decisions are.

    MAX looks a CLINT with a WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU ON ABOUT FACE.

    MAX
    Look man I'm no good at this lady
    chatting stuff; I'm ruff since I've
    been with KYM for so long. What we
    gonna do?

    CLINT
    OK. First things fuckin last. We
    have got to make her feel at ease.
    Jedi mind trick the hoe, create a
    false sense of security. I mean
    lets face it.
    That crazy crack whore is probably
    shooting up as we speak to subdue
    her psychotic tendencies.

    MAX
    What?

    CLINT
    Shhhhhhhh.

    MAX
    (Whispering)
    What the fuck?

    CLINT
    Look. That's how these people get
    through the day. You try fuckin
    seven people and keeping a fresh
    smile on your face. Its not like
    selling arse is like selling
    mangos. Now; as I was saying. If
    she comes in here jacked up we have
    got to make her feel at ease. Then
    when she least expects it we'll ask
    about a pay off. We'll catch her of
    guard. We'll get a better price
    that way.

    MAX
    Well how do we get her at ease?

    CLINT
    I don't know. Offer her doughnut or
    make her a brew. Ask her about her
    work. Second thoughts don't ask her
    about her work. Just general stuff.
    But most of all act cool as freeze
    dried mutt chunks.

    Jasmine suddenly enters the kitchen and the guys sit up
    strait. She is dressed in a short skirt and tight top. We see
    she is carrying a black sports bag.

    She walks over to the table. Puts the bag on the floor and
    takes a seat.

    MAX
    So, would you like a cuppa?

    CLINT buts in.

    CLINT
    He makes a mean cuppa. The best tea
    I've ever had. No question. As a
    matter of fact can I have brew too?

    MAX
    Yeah, sure, whatever?

    TURNING TO JASMINE.

    MAX
    So, how do we take it? I mean your
    tea, how do you like your tea.

    CLINTS butts in again.

    CLINT
    7 sugars load's a-milk.

    MAX
    Will you shut the fu--

    CLINT
    (Under his breath)
    Hey remember Chill Winston.

    MAX
    (Under breath)
    Point taken, Point taken, Point
    taken. Right.

    Turning back to JASMINE.

    JAMSINE
    No sugar, black

    MAX goes to the sink to brew up.

    CLINT
    Are you preferring the taste of the
    black variety?

    JASMINE
    I'm on a diet. Milk's very
    fattening.

    CLINT
    Yeah you need to keep up the old
    stamina don't ya.

    JASMINE
    I suppose.

    Facing the sink still.

    MAX
    (Under breath)
    Jesus?

    BEAT
    So what's in the bag?

    JASMINE
    Just my tools of the trade.

    MAX
    Like a SWISS ARMY knife - Bag.

    JASMINE
    Kind off yeah, you never know w

    "Well who the hell is that sat in my
    kitchen at the table eating my
    crunchy-nut fuckin cornflakes."

    I loved this line.

    Its a pretty good short. My criticism's would be that some of the dialogue isn't quite natural enough. Some of the stuff they say is funny but it's almost like blackadder - irreverant humour blended into normal conversation, but it gets a bit annoying after a while.I find it really hard to judge pacing from a script it probably wouldn't be a problem.

    I think there's a good basis here and the punch line is very good and nicely rounded but I think it will be made or broken by who you get to play Clint (great name) and Max.

    Also, its funny, I just wrote some force and yoda gags into my script!

    My suggestions (if you care), would be to put some imperfections into the dialogue, I just think its too slick at the moment. Alternatively make sure the actors put some hesitations etc into the dialogue.

    IMO it could be an alright short. Could be a very good short - mostly depends on the actors.

    Good luck Despin and good work.

    Regards
    George

    Good stuff Despin. Its a lot more polished than the first draft obviously and is quite amusing. I think I like the line about crumbling like a digestive biscuit the best.

    My only concern is that it is very dialogue heavy, but I'm sure little touches like your fly on the wall will make it visually interesting too. Well Done.

    THE KABAB RAPPERS??? Are they going to do the sound track?

    Seriously though its an excellent effort. A word about the dialogue though. I've found when writing comedy that you cant be 'on' all the time. If you try to write every line to be funny then the pacing gets thrown off. I find it better to identify the good jokes and tone down the rest to show them off.
    Good work mate.

    Hey there.

    Again thanks for the comments (to the ones who actualy took the time to read it).

    I know what you mean Mr Baty it was more like that in the first draft a few strait lines then a joke. But then I realised this is only a short film and not that much actualy happens realy. Its just these guys talking and getting themselves more and more worked up. So we went in and tried to make as many jokes as possable hoping that at least some people will find something funny and some point. For a feature film I think this kind of dialog would be to much to handle but for this short film I think its going to work.

    Is there anything you guys think just didnt work. Stuff that didnt make sense. And what did you find very funny. If anything.

    Despin out.

    You call them morons. I call them friends.

    One thing that has just occured to me. Some of the earlier dialogue between the two guys is a bit too, 'cool and trendy', both of them have witty lines to say. Maybe if you made MAX a little more geekish, then the contrast between him and his friend would stand out more. He could be the avarage joe who fell on his feet, and his mates a bit jealous of him. And the porn mag joke would work better.
