INT. DAY. ROOM. TWO MEN ARE SITTING AT A TABLE.
STEVE
Any New Years resolutions Jim?
JIM
Just the usual Steve, I’ll try and stay off the booze.
STEVE
I’m getting a feeling of déjà vu.
JIM
Yeah, well, you know what I’m like when I start.
STEVE
I know only too well.F**k me I know.
JIM
Pass that over please Steve.
STEVE HANDS JIM A GLASS OF WINE
JIM
Hmmm ( gulps wine).. subtle hints of oak.. (takes another big gulp).. delicate aromas.. give me another glass.
STEVE (raising voice)
Sip it, don’t guzzle it.
JIM
I’ve definitely got the taste for it..(continues gulping different glasses of wine)..you cant go wrong with a Chilean. The grape is crucial in the fermentation process Steve.
STEVE (shouting)
Jim, Jim!
JIM
Yeah, yeah, I know what you’re going to say. (holds glass up to his ear).” it’s the drink talking”.. ha, ha.
STEVE
Jim. I am going to be blunt with you.
JIM
Jim Blunt or James Blunt to give him his correct title, did you like that one Steve?
STEVE
Jim, listen to me, you’re an alcoholic ex builder. You will never work as a winetaster.
JIM
I’d give my right arm, and my right leg too for that matter, to be a winetaster Steve.
STEVE
You’ve already lost them both through gout! Come on, I’ll ring you a taxi.
ENDS.
