[Shiny urban bar. SANDRA is at the bar sipping a drink, probably looking at a phone. Enter NICKY]
NICKY: Hey there! Let me guess, Gemini?
SANDRA: No, Sandra.
NICKY: Yeah? I'm Nicky? Hey, what you drinking?
SANDRA: Oh, thanks. Vodka and orange.
NICKY: Oh, Right, I wasn't buying you one, I just wanted to know. Because I like to learn facts. Got a big love for the facts. Big brain, if you catch my drift. Hey, I know so many facts, my pals call me Nicky Pedia. Go on, try me. Ask me anything.
SANDRA: Who directed the film Sex & The City 2?
NICKY: [Beat] Absolutely anything at all.
SANDRA: What's the population of Botswana.
NICKY: Ha, I'm not falling for that, you made it up. I mean, ask me normal stuff.
SANDRA: Like history?
NICKY: Like football.
SANDRA: OK. How many times have Celtic won the SPL?
NICKY: Proper football! Alright, tell you what, how about I just wow you with some random choice facts? Nicky Pedia, coming at you al dente! Go: The banana is really a fruit. Casinos don't have thermometers, and all the numbers in a game of petanque add up to 666. Swans mate for life and break their partners' arms. Janet Jackson bought the skin of the Elephant's Man, John McCririck. The colour of Jesus beard was invented by Pepsi.
SANDRA: [Sigh] None of that is true.
NICKY: Maybe not, but hey, I know two things about you.
SANDRA: Go on.
NICKY: You love drinking vodka and cranberry juice, and you're coming home with me, baby.
SANDRA: I think not.
NICKY: But I'm really good in bed.
SANDRA: [Finishing drink, and walking away] Citation needed.
