ALEX AND SPENCER ARE AT A TABLE WITH A PINT EACH. THE
PLACE IS HALF FULL. IT’S A NICE LOOKING PUB WITH A GOOD
ATMOSPHERE.
SPENCER
This is an amazing beer, I can’t believe I’ve never tried
this one in here before.
ALEX
They only put it on the menu yesterday!
SPENCER
Yes Alex, but I am a regular. I can’t believe it crept by
me for a whole day.
ALEX
Yeah, your regularly spending my hard earned money in
here.
SPENCER
Not for much longer. This working together idea is
brilliant. Are Summer and Lucy busy today?
ALEX
I don’t think so actually. I’ll send them a message.
ALEX GETS HIS MOBILE OUT AND STARTS TEXTING, MEANWHILE
THE BARMAN COMES UP TO THE TABLE.
BARMAN RICK
Can I get you guys anything else?
SPENCER
Two jugs of this stuff.
SPENCER RAISES HIS PINT.

They’ll be here in ten mins.
SCENE 7
11 INT. WORKPLACE
BRIAN IS IN ALEX’S OFFICE PLAYING MINIATURE GOLF. HE
STEADIES HIMSELF AND SINKS A SHOT. HE CELEBRATES BY
JUMPING UP AND DOWN LIKE A MAD MAN.
BRIAN
Yes! Why couldn’t I be the manager.
BRIAN SITS DOWN IN ALEX’S CHAIR AND STARTS TO READ A
FILE. IT’S ALEX’S HOW TO PLEASE A GIRL FILE.
BRIAN
(to himself) Step one.
FADE OUT.
SCENE 8
12 INT. TAYLOR’S PUB
TWELVE MINUTES LATER. SPENCER’S JUG IS ALMOST FINISHED -
ALREADY.
THE GIRLS ARRIVE.
SUMMER
Hey Guys, how was work?
SPENCER
Brilliant. Thanks to the big boss man here.
ALEX
Yeah, I’ve landed myself in quite a position.
SPENCER
And he’s hitting that ass from behind.
ALEX
Has everything gotta be about sex with you?
SPENCER
Stop being such a born again virgin.
THE GIRLS LAUGH. ALEX SIPS FROM HIS BEER TRYING TO
PRETEND THAT SPENCER’S COMMENT DIDN’T BOTHER HIM. BUT BY
HIS BODY LANGUAGE IT DID.
LUCY SHOUTS OVER TO RICK BEHIND THE BAR.
LUCY
Rick, the usual for me and Summer.
RICK
Coming up girls.
THE GIRLS SIT DOWN.
ALEX
Are you working today Summer?
SUMMER
No, I’m free. We both are.
LUCY
Yeah, we were gonna ask you both out tonight for drinks.
SPENCER
Now we’ll make a day and a night of it then.
SUMMER
Why not?
THE GIRLS DRINKS ARRIVE.
SUMMER
Thanks Rick.
ALEX
(revelling in his promotion) A toast. To success.
THEY ALL TOAST.
LUCY
I like your new suit Alex. How much did that set you
back?
ALEX
£350. I got a big rise so I thought I’d splash out and
look good.
SUMMER
When did you buy a suit Spence?
SPENCER
Buy! I got it free out of Alex’s wardrobe. Lucy did you
get that role you went in for?
LUCY
(confidently) No. I was to sexy!
SPENCER
The ego you have girl.
LUCY
Not at all. But I did look stunning! (r.e. Spencer’s job)
I’m surprised you made it through the first day?
SPENCER
It was no problem. Arrive, snack, lunch, phone call,
early finish to go drinking. I could get used to it.
LUCY
Alex’s is hardly the boss from hell is he?
SUMMER
Oh guys, yesterday I suggested one of my paintings being
put up on display.
ALEX
Good for you sum, what was the response?
SUMMER
Not good, very clear though. No way, straight out. Didn’t
even wanna look at it.
ALEX
Keep trying, someone will give you a shot.
HEARING THE WORD SHOT TRIGGERS SPENCER’S MIND INTO
ACTION. SPENCER SHOUT TOWARD RICK.
SPENCER
Rick, a round of shots here.
RICK
On my way.
ALEX
Where do you’s wanna go later?
SUMMER
Isn’t that new club opening tonight?
LUCY
Yeah, it sounds great too. Opening night’s got 2 for 1
deals on everything.
SPENCER
Brilliant. Alex you can buy your own and get mine for
free.
ALEX
Just this once, when you get your first pay check through
your paying your own way.
RICK BRINGS THE SHOT OVER.
SPENCER
Right, everyone down in one.
THEY ALL DRINK.
SPENCER
Yeah guys we’re setting the pace for the night. I’m gonna
need some food to keep it going.
ALEX
Lets order.
FADE OUT.
SCENE 9
13 INT. NIGHTCLUB
A FEW HOURS LATER.
THE GROUP HAVE RECENTLY ENTERED THE CLUB.
LUCY
This place looks amazing.
SUMMER LOOKS AT SOME OF THE ART ON THE WALLS.
SUMMER
Look at some of the beautiful art work here. Quite
inspiring.
SPENCER LOOKS AROUND AT VARIOUS GIRLS IN THE CLUB.
SPENCER
Who gives a crap about that? Look at the hotties. I’ve
gotta work my way into one.
ALEX
The night is young Spence, anyway I thought you had a
girlfriend?
SPENCER
Not anymore. She called me and said she wasn’t looking
for a relationship right now, but we could be friends.
SUMMER
What did you say?
SPENCER
I said I wasn’t looking for a friend right now, but we
could have sex.
SCENE 10
14. ANGLE: DANCE FLOOR
SPENCER IS STANDING ALONE, THEN ALEX COMES INTO VIEW.
SPENCER
(relieved) Great your back. It’s typical, everyone goes
to the restroom at the same time. Leaving me standing
around like an idiot.
ALEX
Sorry Spence, I just bought some aftershave off the
restroom attendant guy and it set me back £3. And I’m
sure it’s the exact same kind that I was already wearing.
SPENCER
I bought some mints off him for £2, and I was standing
around like an idiot waiting for some change.
ALEX
Oh it’s a strict no change policy. No wonder he’s wearing
designer labels, he’ll be loaded at those prices.
SPENCER
And here I am, a graduate with nothing.
ALEX
You didn’t even finish your first year, and you attended
like what? Five classes?
SPENCER
I meant a graduate from the school of love! I’m a master
of seduction. You see that girl over there?
SPENCER POINT AT AN ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL GIRL. SHE IS
WEARING A REVEALING DRESS AND HAS A GREAT FIGURE.
SPENCER
I’m gonna have my tongue down her throat, and get her
number by the end of the night.
ALEX
If you do that, I’ll parade you around the room like your
Will Smith. And buy you a bottle of champagne.
SPENCER
You don’t believe I can do it do you?
ALEX
I think I made myself pretty clear.
SPENCER GOES OVER TO THE GIRL, HE IS HAVING SMALL TALK
WITH HER. CONVERSATION IS UNHEARD - THE CAMERA IS
DISTANT, START TO ZOOM IN AND SPENCER GETS HIS TONGUE
DOWN HER THROAT. FOLLOWED BY HER NUMBER.
HE THEN STRUTS BACK TO ALEX LIKE HE RULES THE WORLD. FULL OF HIMSELF.
ALEX TAKES HIM TO THE BAR TO GET HIM THE AS PROMISED
CHAMPAGNE. THE GIRLS HAVE RETURNED FROM THE RESTROOM.
THEY GET THE BOTTLE.
SPENCER
(loving it) I’ll be generous, we’ll share it.
THEY ALL GET THEIR GLASSES TOPPED UP AND AS PROMISED
SPENCER GETS PARADED AROUND THE ROOM - LAP OF HONOUR
STYLE. WITH HE’S A HERO TYPE MUSIC ON IN THE BACKGROUND.
AS THE GANG CHANT “SPENCER, SPENCER, SPENCER”. SPENCER IS
IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS GROUP DANCING HIS WAY AROUND THE
ROOM. MEANWHILE A GUY IN THE CLUB WHO IS OUT WITH A BIG
GROUP OF HIS FRIENDS HAS JUST RECEIVED SOME GREAT NEWS.
GUY
(proudly shouts) I got into Oxford!
MASSIVE CHEERS FROM HIS FRIENDS AND OTHER CLUB GOERS WHO
OVERHEARD THE NEWS. SUDDENLY SPENCER’S VICTORY PARADE
SEEMS PRETTY INSIGNIFICANT. SPENCER’S CELEBRATION COMES
TO A HALT.
ALEX, SUMMER AND LUCY STOP WALKING AROUND WITH
SPENCER. THEY ALSO START TO CHEER FOR THE GUY WHO GOT
INTO OXFORD. SPENCER TURNS AROUND A BIT DISAPPOINTED AND
SAYS TO HIMSELF.
SPENCER
No matter what I do, their‘s always another guy doing
something better.
ALEX
At least you got the hot girls number. Why don’t you go
talk to her now? She’s still here.
LUCY
Yeah go for it Spence.
SUMMER
And get her name. Girls hate it when guys don’t remember
their name.
SPENCER
Maybe that’s what I’ve been doing wrong all these years!
Anyway I’m going back in.
SPENCER GOES BACK UP TO THE ATTRACTIVE GIRL THAT HE
KISSED EARLIER.
SPENCER
Hey, I’m back.
THE ATTRACTIVE GIRL DOESN’T REMEMBER HIM.
ATTRACTIVE GIRL
What? Who are you?
SPENCER
Your kidding me? We swapped saliva about 5-10 minutes
ago.
ATTRACTIVE GIRL
I’ve kissed a lot of guys tonight, I’m hardly guaranteed
to remember you. And I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but
I’m very drunk.
SPENCER TURNS AROUND SLIGHTLY SHAMED AND A BIT HURT. THE
ATTRACTIVE GIRL CALLS HIM BACK. HE TURNS TO FACE HER,
VERY HOPEFUL AND OPTIMISTIC.
ATTRACTIVE GIRL
Wait a minute, I do remember you!
SPENCER
I thought you might, many girls have called me
unforgettable.
ATTRACTIVE GIRL
Your the guy who was doing that weird dancing, chanting
lap around this club aren’t you? I can’t believe I kissed
you!
SPENCER
Weird dancing! My moves are so good you’d think they had
been choreographed by… (he doesn’t know any names of a
choreographer) well some bloody good choreographer. Now
if you excuse me, I’ve got a bottle of champagne to
finish off.
SPENCER WALKS AWAY BACK TO HIS BROTHER AND FRIENDS.
LUCY
(sympathising) You gave it a shot.
SPENCER
(Trying to hide his hurt) What? You think she turned me
down? I’ll have you know it was very much the other way
around.
ALEX
It didn’t look like it Spence.
SPENCER
Well, okay. Actually she didn’t even remember me.
THE GROUP LAUGH.
SPENCER
Then after a while she did. Not about me kissing her
though. But seeing me dance around the room while I was
paraded. Well I’m gonna call my girlfriend.
SUMMER
(confused) I thought you split up?
SPENCER
Oh, that’s right. What is it about being drunk that makes
you forget everything?
ALEX
Never mind Spence, I’ll get another round in. We‘ll go
back to Taylor‘s for an hour or two.
SPENCER
Thanks boss.
ALEX
Boss?
SPENCER
Sorry, habit.
ALEX
A habit? You’ve called me it once previously.
SPENCER
Well then, just put it down to my being drunk.
LUCY
Right guys, to Taylor’s.
SCENE 11
15 INT. TAYLOR’S PUB
TEN MINUTES LATER.
THE GANG ARE SITTING TOGETHER AROUND THEIR USUAL TABLE.
LUCY
I’ve had a great time tonight, we’ve gotta go there
often.
SUMMER
Yeah. I‘m expected a pretty bad hangover coming on
tomorrow though.
ALEX
And we all got watch Spencer bomb!
SPENCER
(defending himself) Hey. I came damn close to getting it
on with her. All the way. We had passion when we kissed.
LUCY
Passion? She couldn‘t even remember you.
RICK COMES OVER.
RICK
Hey, are any of you guys wanting to get up to perform?
It’s open mic night, sing or do some stand-up comedy.
SUMMER
No, sorry Rick?
ALEX
It’s a no from me.
LUCY
Way too drunk.
SPENCER
Just drunk enough, I’ve got a joke up my sleeve. I’m
gonna do some stand-up.
THE GROUP CHEER AND SPUR HIM ON.
RICK
I knew I could rely on you Spence.
SPENCER
Lets do this.
SCENE 12
16 ANGLE: SPENCER ON STAGE
SPENCER ENTERS THE PERFORMING AREA - RICK GOES UP AND
INTRODUCES HIM.
RICK
Ladies and gentleman, bringing us some comedy tonight is
one of our regular’s Spencer Daly.
SPENCER PERFORMS A JOKE ABOUT HIS TIME IN IBIZA.
SPENCER
I went to Ibiza purely to get laid. Three weeks I was
there. Come the last day there it was 247 drinks, 20
hangovers, 3 bouts of sunburn and 6000 euros later. but
not one woman. Then finally, I got stuck into something…
a pothole.
THE ATTRACTIVE GIRL FROM EARLIER WAS THERE IN THE CORNER
TABLE. AFTER SPENCER’S PERFORMANCE, HE GETS A HUGE
APPLAUSE AND THE ATTRACTIVE GIRL APPROACHES HIM.
ATTRACTIVE GIRL
Wow, you were awesome up there. Now I’m starting to
remember more about you, you put your hands on my breasts
right?
SPENCER
No!
ATTRACTIVE GIRL
Would you like too?
SPENCER
Um, well, yeah. Very much so.
ATTRACTIVE GIRL
I live not far from here. You can feel them and a whole
lot more if you come to mine tonight? I just love a guy
that can make me laugh.
SPENCER
This is gonna be a great night. Let’s go babe.
HE TAKES HER HAND AND THEY WALK OFF OUT OF TAYLOR’S AS
THEY ARE LEAVING SPENCER TURNS TO FACE ALEX.
SPENCER
Alex, I might be a little late tomorrow.
ALEX, SUMMER AND LUCY LOOK AT EACH OTHER SURPRISED THAT
HE IS GOING TO GET WITH THE ATTRACTIVE GIRL WHO REJECTED
HIM EARLIER.
SUMMER
Incredible! He pulled it off.
LUCY
That was a pretty good piece.
ALEX
I think he’s getting into something better than a pot
hole tonight.
FADE OUT.
THE END
