INT . PUB - NIGHT
A DRUNK MAN sits at the bar with an empty seat beside him.
He's VERY drunk, attempting to order another shot of whiskey.
In the background sits a MAN - noticing the mess.
A phone vibrates and lights up on the bar. The man shoots back his whiskey and picks up the phone. Squinting his eyes to focus on the text.
It's a picture... It's blurry... It's a dick pic!?
A WOMAN reaches in and grabs the phone from his hand. He turns around and knocks her to the floor - the phone goes flying out of her hand.
The DRUNK MAN gets punched in the face and falls flat on the ground.
We reveal the MAN sitting at the table earlier.
MAN
(Extending his hand to the woman on the ground)
You alright?
WOMAN
I didn't need you to do that.
MAN
Not exactly why I did it
She gets up without accepting his hand for help.
In the background a few security guards escort the DRUNK MAN out of the bar.
WOMAN
That man just broke my fucking face, you know, not the right time to be trying to pick me up.
MAN
No... I was just trying to pick you up
WOMAN
I JUST said, NOT the right time to pick me up.
She dusts off her dress and heads towards an empty table with a half empty beer unattended.
She grabs the beer and chugs whatever's left.
The man watches and is amazed. He quietly signals the bar for two more.
WOMAN
Was this mine?
MAN
No...
WOMAN
Fuck
The waitress comes by and hands the MAN the two beers.
He hands the WOMAN her beer.
MAN
Here - a fresh one.
They clink bottles and take a sip
WOMAN
Thank you, for this. (Nods her head toward the stool on the ground from the fall earlier) and that.
She takes another huge gulp of her beer - the man signals for two more without her attention.
WOMAN (cont.)
This isn't a normal thing for me, you know. I'm not in bar's every week getting smacked in the face just waiting for some handsome dude to come along and save me. I don't NEED saving - I'm the saver. I can take care of myself, AND you. Not you - you. The metaphorical you. The you which is-
MAN
Like a life saver. (extremely proud of himself)
WOMAN
What?
MAN
Life saver - you said you don't need saving, you're the saver.
WOMAN
Oh, and not cause I'm sweet?
MAN
I was JUST about to get to that!
The waitress comes by and places another beer on the table
WOMAN
Tryna get me drunk?
The WOMAN takes a swig of her drink - spilling a little, letting it drip down her chin.
WOMAN (cont.)
er!
MAN
You're gonna need it if you wanna forget about the pain
WOMAN
(Sarcastically)
Which pain?
She points to her face... Her heart... Her vagina..
The man chuckles and a light bulb turns on above his head.
MAN
Come with me.
EXT. Park. Night.
The MAN and WOMAN walk through a dimly lit park.
The MAN is scanning the ground looking for something.
WOMAN
Should I be concerned? I thought we'd be in your car half way through our third time by now. WHAT are we looking for can you please just tell me!
MAN
(disgusted)
I'm not gonna fuck you in my car
WOMAN
(disappointed)
uh-
MAN
We'll just go to my place for that - I live 5 minutes away.
WOMAN
(excited)
aah-
The MAN and WOMAN share a look.
They slowly move closer.
Their lips are just about to touch as...
The MANS eyes widen- he turns his head and walks off screen.
We watch as the woman stands there - confused and let down.
The MAN comes running back towards her.
Man
Let's go!
END.
