INT. ROBERT'S AND DEREK'S APARTMENT BUILDING - DAY
                                                            
A variety of sites and landmarks are shown from the city of
Chicago. The camera zooms in on an apartment building. The
camera moves upward; showing the skyline. The camera stops
at a window and pans in into the apartment of Derek and
Jason. Derek is lawyer working for a prestigious firm in
Chicago. He is known by his friends as a ladies's man. He
is willing to try anything to get a woman. Jason is an
junior executive for an advertising firm in Chicago. He's
in a relationship with a woman he truly loves and wants to
marry. It shows Derek gathering his keys and heading out
of the apartment.Derek is locking the door to the apartment.
He heads to the elevator. He sees a beautiful young lady
also waiting for the elevator. Derek starts a small
conversation with her.
                                                            
                       DEREK
      (jokingly)
Hey beautiful. Do you come here
often?
                                                            
The young lady's name is Ash. She's a very attractive woman.
She just moved into the building. She is trying of moving
all of her belongings into her new apartment. She tries to
ignore the cheesy come-ons of Derek's. She is getting upset
because the elevator is taking to long,she's tired and hot,
and she don't like the cheesy pick up lines of Derek. There
is an awkward moment of silence between them.
                                                            
                       DEREK
Did you just move in? Cause I
would remember a person as
beautiful as yourself.
                                                            
                       ASH
Look I don't have the time or the
energy to listen to any more of
your cheesy pick-up lines. So
will you please leave me alone.
                                                            
                       DEREK
Sure, no problem. You don't have
to bite my head off. I was just
trying to be a good neighbor. What

                       DEREK (cont'd)
makes you think that I was trying
to pick you up?
                                                            
                       ASH
Cause you men are all alike. See
a woman and automatically you feel
the need to hit on her.
                                                            
                       DEREK
For one, not every man tries to
hit on every woman he sees.
Second, I wouldn't date you
anyway.
                                                            
                       ASH
Why is that?
                                                            
                       DEREK
I don't date ugly women.
                                                            
                       ASH
Who in the hell are you calling
ugly? A few minutes ago, you were
saying that I was beautiful. Now
you're calling me ugly. Why cause
I didn't fall for you cheap wack
ass lines?
                                                            
                       DEREK
You just don't get it, do you?.
You got a banging body. And you
have one of the sexiest smiles I
have ever seen. But your
personality sucks. I was only
trying to be friendly and you gets
an attitude with me.
                                                            
Ash becomes silent for a short moment. Then, she realize
that she was treating Derek a little harsh.
                                                            
                       ASH
Please forgive me. I didn't mean
to offend you. It's just I'm
really tired from moving in. And
when most guys talk to me they
only want one thing.
                                                            

3.

                       DEREK
What's that? To get you in bed?
                                                            
                       ASH
In bed. In a public bathroom.
Anywhere they possible can.
                                                            
                       DEREK
That's not necessarily true. Take
us for instance. All I wanted was
to was a chance to get to know you
better as a person. And if we had
sex, great. I mean what man would
turn down sex.
                                                            
                       ASH
What if it doesn't lead to any
sex.
                                                            
                       DEREK
If it don't, then it don't. I'm
ok with being just friends with a
woman.
                                                            
                       ASH
Really. So what was you trying to
do-get to know me better or get to
know me better?
                                                            
                       DEREK
All I wanted was to get to know
you better. But if it came off
that I was trying to get into your
pants, then I'm sorry.
                                                            
                       ASH
No. I'm the one that owes you an
apology. Its just that I'm tired
from moving all day. And I can
turn into a real bitch when I'm
tired.
                                                            
                       DEREK
That's ok. I understand. So what
apartment did you move into, umm?
Sorry, I never caught your name.
                                                            

4.

                       ASH
Oh, my name is Ashley, but
everyone calls me Ash. And I stay
in apartment 1113
                                                            
                       DEREK
My name is Derek(Derek offers her
handshake and they shake hands.
Derek notices that she is not
wearing a wedding ring)I stay
across the hall. So if you need
anything, just stop by and give me
a holla.
                                                            
                       ASH
Thanks, I'll do that. (pause)
Maybe we could hang out sometime?
                                                            
                       DEREK
I would like that. You could come
to the party me and my roommate
are throwing in a couple of weeks.
That is if you are not too busy
or anything.
                                                            
                       ASH
Maybe I will.(pause) What's
taking this damn elevator so long?
                                                            
Derek looks at the elevator buttons and realize that Ashley
did not push the down button.
                                                            
                       DEREK
It work better if you hit the
button.
                                                            
Derek lens forward and push the down button. The elevator
arrives shortly after Derek presses the button. The
elevator doors open. A man is on the elevator.
                                                            
                       ASH
I guess it does.
                                                            
Derek holds open the elevator to let Ash get on the elevator
first.
                                                            

5.

                       DEREK
      (soft voice)
Nice ass.
                                                            
                       ASH
Huh? What did you say?
                                                            
Derek gets on the elevator and the door closes. In the
elevator with Ash and Derek is an old man. The old man has
a cane in his hand. He is wearing a hat. Now, they are
going down in the elevator.
                                                            
                       OLD MAN
What floor?
                                                            
                       DEREK
(to the man)First floor please.
Thank you. (to Ash) I said Ice
Glass
                                                            
                       ASH
What is the Ice Glass?
                                                            
                       OLD MAN
It's a club downtown where girls
be shaking their ass like there is
no tomorrow.
                                                            
Derek and Ash looks at the old man in a funny way.
                                                            
                       OLD MAN
What? An old man can't go out and
looking for women. You young
bucks act like I don't know how to
get down. Watch this.
                                                            
Old man drops his cane and starts dancing.
                                                            
                       OLD MAN
This is right here is what brings
the ladies to home.
                                                            
                       DEREK
Sir is this your stop?
                                                            

6.

The old man unfasten his belt and unbutton his pants. While
continuing to dance, he drops his pants to the floor;
wearing some chessy boxers. After a minute or two, the
elevator door opens.
                                                            
                       OLD MAN
Oh it is. (to Derek)Didn't I tell
tell you those young chics love my
game?
                                                            
The old man places his finger on the button to keep the door
open. Derek bends down to pick up his cane.
                                                            
                       OLD MAN
I think I hurt my back. (to Ash)
Could you be a dear help me?
                                                            
                       ASH
Sure thing.
                                                            
Ash bends down in front of the old man, with her facing him,
to help pull up his pants. Once she is bent down in front
of him, the old man starts jirating his hips in from of her.
                                                            
                       OLD MAN
Oh my. It looks like you woke up
the one-eyed snake.
                                                            
The elevator door is still open. A couple and their ten
year old son walks up to the elevator. Shock by what she
see, the woman cover the eyes of her son. Ash quickly gets
up and button the old man's pants
                                                            
                       SON #1
Hey mom what were they doing?
                                                            
                       MOTHER#1
She was looking for a wistle to
blow?
                                                            
                       SON #1
Mom, she can blow my whistle.
                                                            
The boy reaches in his pocket and pulls a whistle out of his
pocket. He tries to hand the whistle to Ash. The mother
snatches the whistle out of his hand.
                                                            

7.

                       MOTHER#1
That's ok. I think one whistle is
all she needs(pause). I think
we'll take the stairs.
                                                            
The woman quickly snatches her son to the stairs. The
husband stands at the elevator.
                                                            
                       HENRY
Could ya'll video tape the rest of
this for me? I stay in apartment

                       MOTHER#1
      (VO)
Henry come on.
                                                            
Henry runs to the stairwell. Derek then hands the old man
his cane.
                                                            
                       OLD MAN
I told those young chics fall in
love with me. You see how your
girl was checking me out. You can
change a players game in the ninth
inning.
                                                            
                       DEREK
I see that. Maybe you should ask
for her telephone number.
                                                            
                       OLD MAN
Naw. I'm gonna let you have this
one.
                                                            
The old man gets off the elevator singing
                                                            
                       OLD MAN
      (singing)
If loving me is wrong, they don't
wanna be right.
                                                            
The elevator doors close. Now, its only Derek and Ash in
the elevator. Derek starts laughing.
                                                            

8.

                       ASH
What's so funny?
                                                            
                       DEREK
Nothing
                                                            
Derek stops laughing. Then, he starts back laughing. A
strand of Ash's hair falls in front of her face. She
brushes the hair back with her hand. For some reason or
another, this turns Derek on. Derek becomes frozen by Ash's
beauty.
                                                            
                       ASH
What is so funny. You laughing
about that old man, aren't you?
                                                            
                       DEREK
Actually, I was thinking about
this scene I saw in a movie. Have
you seen "Gone with the Wind"?
                                                            
                       ASH
Not since high school.
                                                            
                       DEREK
So, I guess you don't remember the
elevator scene?
                                                            
                       ASH
There was no elevator scene in
"Gone with the Wind". They didn't
have elevators back then.
                                                            
                       DEREK
Yes there was. Did you see the
director's version on DVD?
                                                            
                       ASH
No.
                                                            
                       DEREK
Then I guess you didn't see the
elevator scene.
                                                            

9.

                       ASH
Well, I guess I didn't. Tell me
about it.
                                                            
                       DEREK
Sure, no problem. There was this
guy and this girl stucked in the
elevator(push the button to stop
the elevator. Then he stands in
front of Ash)Then, he glazed into
her eyes. (Derek stares into Ash's
eyes)
                                                            
                       ASH
What happen next?
                                                            
                       DEREK
He kissed her.(Derek kisses Ash)
                                                            
Derek and Ash continue kissing and starts making out in the
elevator. She drops her purse. Derek reaches under her
skirt (or dress) and slides down her panties to the floor.
Ash steps out of her panties. Ash starts unbuttoning
Derek's shirt and kissing his chest. Next, she unfasten his
belt and undo his pants. Then, she slide down his pants and
boxers. She starts back kissing Derek and then she pulls
away.
                                                            
                       ASH
I got something for you
                                                            
                       DEREK
What is it?
                                                            
                       ASH
You'll see
                                                            
Ash bends down and picks up her purse. She is looking
through her pursue for something.
                                                            
                       ASH
Where are they? I know I put them
in here.(pause) Ah, Here it is.
                                                            
Ash reaches in her purse and pull out a highlighter and some
massacre.
                                                            

10.

                       DEREK
You're a real freak. What are you
gonna do with that? Draw on my
ass, cause I know good and well
your not sticking that in my butt.
                                                            
Ash reaches back into her purse and pull out three condoms.
The condom wrappers are attached to each other.
                                                            
                       DEREK
Oh. I think we might be needing
those.
                                                            
A smile and quiet laugh appears on Ash's face.
                                                            
                       ASH
You make me laugh
                                                            
                       DEREK
I don't know about the man you
been with, but when I'm naked from
waist to knee, "you make me laugh"
is something I don't want to hear.
                                                            
Ash leans forward and kisses Derek. They start back making
out in the elevator. Ash starts to caressing Derek below
the waist.
                                                            
                       DEREK
Oh yes. Oh my God. That feels so
good. Oh
                                                            
Derek gets so excited that he prematurely climax. He stares
into Ash's face.
                                                            
                       DEREK
Sorry
                                                            
                       ASH
Me too. And I knew there wasn't
any elevator scene in Gone with
the Wind.
                                                            
They start back getting dressed. Derek bends over and picks
up Ash's panties. Then, he hands them to Ash. Ash snatches

11.

her panties away from Derek. She puts on her panties. Ash
starts the elevator back up. There is an awkward moment of
silence.
                                                            
                       DEREK
Hey, I need to ask you something
                                                            
                       ASH
Ask me what? Not to tell anyone
about this because this never
happen to you before.
                                                            
                       DEREK
No it happen before. I was just
wondering could I get those
condoms. I'm all out.
                                                            
Ash reluctantly hands Derek the condoms.
                                                            
                       DEREK
Thanks. (pause) Since you mention
it, could we keep this just
between the two of us.
                                                            
Ash looks at Derek. The elevator doors open. Ash walks out
of the elevator. Derek walks out after her. He catches up
with her and grabs her on the arm.
                                                            
                       DEREK
Well( Ash gives him a look and he
let go of her arm.) Sorry
(pause.) Are you gonna keep this
our little secret?
                                                            
                       ASH
Speedy, I might keep this between
the two of us or I might go and
tell all my friends. I haven't
decide yet.(She turns to walk away
from Derek, but then turns back
towwards him.) And another thing,
if you are gonna use a movie to
pick up a girl use "Gone in Sixty
Seconds", it describes you better.
                                                            
Ash walks over to a friend she was suppose to meet in the

12.

lobby. Derek is left there standing in disbelief for a few
seconds. Then, he head back to the elevator. A few minutes
later, Jason walks up to Derek. They see each other.
                                                            
                       DEREK
Just getting back? Its almost
9:30
                                                            
                       JASON
Yeah, I know. And boy am I tired.
                                                            
                       DEREK
Nobody told you spend your entire
Saturday at work.
                                                            
                       JASON
I had to get the proposal for the
Nike account done before Monday.
What are you doing downstairs? I
thought you were gonna spend all
day drinking and watching the
game.
                                                            
                       DEREK
It was halftime, so I came
downstairs to get the mail
                                                            
                       JASON
      (holding the mail
       in his hand)
I got the mail right here.
                                                            
Ash and her friends walk out of the apartment building. She
waves good-bye to Derek. Derek waves back. Jason sees
that.
                                                            
                       JASON
Who was that?
                                                            
The elevator door opens and people gets off the elevator
                                                            
                       DEREK
Who was what?

Jason and Derek gets on the elevator.
                                                            
                       DEREK
Oh. her. That was just Ash, our

The elevator door closes.
                                                            
The elevator door opens. Jason and Derek are on the floor
of their apartment. As they walk out of the elevator to
their apartment, they are carrying on a small conversation.
                                                            
                       DEREK
Are you going to the club with us

                       JASON

going to see a late movie.
                                                            
                       DEREK

Derek gets to the door and unlock it. They walk into the
apartment.
                                                            
                       JASON

                       DEREK
Sure you do. What's the name of
this movie?
                                                            
                       JASON
I don't know. Some comedy
starring that guy from the
insurance commericals chasing
after Jennifer Lopezs.
                                                            
                       DEREK
Just what I thought. Whipped.
Strung out. You want to go the
movie more than she do.
                                                            
                       JASON
How you figure that?
                                                            
                       DEREK
She didn't say ya'll had any plans
when she stopped by.
                                                            
                       JASON
When she stop by? She knew I was
gonna be in the office all day.
                                                            
                       DEREK
She stopped by twice. The first
time, she came to pick up a jacket
and left. And she said she would
give you a call later. Then she
came back with a gym bag.
                                                            
                       JASON
How long did she stay?
                                                            
                       DEREK
The first time she said about five
minutes. The second time, I
couldn't tell you. She was coming
as I was going out.

                       JASON
Well, I'll talk to her when she

care of the three S's
                                                            
Derek looks at Jason as he doesn't knows what he's talking
about.
                                                            
                       JASON
Shit, shower, shave.
                                                            
Jason walks into his room. Derek walks into the kitchen. He
sees that there are messages on the answering machine. He
goes over to the answering machine and press the play
button.

on your sore bottom.
                                                            
                       DEREK
I ain't touching anybody's ass in
here. Well, maybe Jennifer's
                                                            
                       JENNIFER
Then, we can give you a facial
while you eat ice cream. And
after that, we can help you do
your nails.
                                                            
                       DEREK
Well, I might feel my own ass. I

                       JENNIFER (cont'd)
be here for you no matter what.
But how do you want to handle this
is up to you. You can sit here on
the sofa and feel sorry for
yourself for the rest of the

hang out with us. Let me ask you
something. Was you and Melissa in
an exclusive relationship?
                                                            
                       JASON
Yeah, I thought we was.
                                                            
                       JENNIFER
Well, this might be a test couples
go through.
                                                            
                       DEREK
I'm sure she's not sitting at home
crying over you. She 's probably
already moved on.(pause) What I'm
trying to say is that its apparent
that she's moved on . Why
shouldn't you? So come with us to
see if you can find someone. Or
just to take your mind off her.
                                                            
                       JASON
You're right. Well, Jennifer
you're right. This is just a
little bump in the road. We'll be
back together in no time. I'm go
to the club with you.
                                                            
                       DEREK
That's what I'm talking about. Now
hurry up and get dressed.
                                                            
Jason gets up and heads to his room; to change clothes.
                                                            
                       JENNIFER
Do you think they are gonna get
back together?

                       JASON
We need to talk.
                                                            
The girl slowly turns around to see who is talking to her.
                                                            
                       JASON
Sorry. I thought you were someone
I know.
                                                            
                       WOMAN #1
I could be if you want.
                                                            
                       JASON
Really now?
                                                            
She places a little card, the size of a business card, into
Jason's hand.
                                                            
                       WOMAN #1
Here's my number. Give me a call
sometime soon.
                                                            
A guy walks up to Jason and the young woman.
                                                            
                       MAN
What are you doing talking to my
girl?
                                                            
                       WOMAN #1
He thought I was his girlfriend.
                                                            
                       MAN
If I didn't know any better I
think you were trying to pick up
my girl.
                                                            

28.

                       JASON
Look, I'm not trying to hit on
your girl. It just an honest
mistake.
                                                            
                       MAN
Do you think that I'm stupid?
                                                            
                       JASON
Yes.
                                                            
The guy is about to take a swing at Jason, but the girl
grabs his arm. Derek sees what's happening from across the
dance floor. He starts to make his way over there.
                                                            
                       MAN
I knew it.
                                                            
                       JASON
That you were stupid?
                                                            
                       MAN
No. That you were trying to pick
up my girl. You keep opening your
mouth and I'm gonna shut it for
good.
                                                            
Derek has made his way over there.
                                                            
                       DEREK
Is there a problem here?
                                                            
                       JASON
Not really. Dumbass thinks I'm
trying to pick up his girl.
                                                            
                       WOMAN #1
Its just a big misunderstanding.
                                                            
                       MAN
Its gonna be a big
misunderstanding when I break my
foot off in his ass.
                                                            
The guy steps closer to Jason. Derek steps in between the
Jason and the guy.
                                                            

29.

                       DEREK
We don't need any fighting in
here. (to the man)Why don't you
go dance with your beautiful, but
unavailable girlfriend. (to
Jason)And you come with me.
                                                            
Derek pulls Jason away from the couple. As Jason is pulled
away, he looks back at the girl. She gives him a signal;
telling him to call her. Jason and Derek is having a
conversation as they make their way through the crowd.
                                                            
                       DEREK
You need to stop trying to pick up
other guy's girlfriends.
                                                            
                       JASON
For one, I wasn't trying to pick
her up. She gave me her number.
You know me. Do you think I would
go pick up a girl with her
boyfriend right there?
                                                            
                       DEREK
Ok. Then what was the real
reason?
                                                            
                       JASON
I thought. I thought she was
Melissa.
                                                            
                       DEREK
Look, I know you love Melissa but
you can't
                                                            
Jason walks away quickly from Derek; towards a girl. She
looks like Melissa from the back.
                                                            
                       DEREK
run after every girl that looks
like Melissa
                                                            
Jason reaches the girl and touches her on the shoulder. The
girl turns around. It's Melissa.

                       JASON
We need to talk.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
I don't have anything to stay to
you.
                                                            
Melissa starts to walk away, but Jason grabs her arm.
                                                            
                       JASON
Were you going. We need to talk.
                                                            
A guy,Ed, walks up to Jason and Melissa.
                                                            
                       ED
Melissa, is this guy bothering
you?
                                                            
                       JASON
Why don't you go somewhere else.
This don't concern you.
                                                            
                       ED
It does concern me when you mess
with my date.
                                                            
                       JASON
Date?
                                                            
                       ED
What did you have for breakfast
this morning? a bowl of dumbass.
Yes, date.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
Didn't you get the message I left
you?
                                                            
                       JASON
Yeah, that's why I need to talk to
you.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
Then, you need to talk to the
whore who's number I found in your
jacket. Come on Ed, I think its

                       MELISSA (cont'd)
a little to crowded in here for my
taste.
                                                            
                       ED
I think so too.
                                                            
Melissa and Ed head for the exit. Jason is shock and
confused by the departure of Melissa. Depressed by Melissa
leaving, Jason heads for the bar. He sits down at the bar
and orders a drink.
                                                            
                       JASON
Can I get a beer?
                                                            
The bartender hands Jason a beer. Derek walks over to the
bar to talk to Jason.
                                                            
                       DEREK
Where did you go?
                                                            
                       JASON
I went over to talk to Melissa.
                                                            
                       DEREK
Melissa here? Where she at? Why
ain't you talking to her?
                                                            
                       JASON
I can't
                                                            
                       DEREK
Why not?
                                                            
                       JASON
She's gone. She left with her
date.
                                                            
                       DEREK
Date?
                                                            
                       JASON
Yeap. She was on a date.
                                                            
                       DEREK
Sorry to hear that. I know how
much you care about Melissa. But
            (MORE)

32.

                       DEREK (cont'd)
look at it like this if she gonna
go ahead and move on with her
life. You should do the same.
                                                            
                       JASON
I don't think I'm want to move on.
                                                            
                       DEREK
Let's be real about this. Melissa
has moved on. Do you want to
spend the rest of your life alone
waiting for her to change her
mind?
                                                            
                       JASON
No.
                                                            
The old man from the apartment building walks into the club
with two women on his arm. He walks pass Jason and Derek.
                                                            
                       OLD MAN
What's up, player?
                                                            
                       DEREK
What are you doing here old man?
Ain't it pass your bedtime?
                                                            
                       OLD MAN
Getting down how I live. See you
out on the dance floor.
                                                            
Old man and his lady friends walk out onto the dance floor.
                                                            
                       DEREK
Now if old school can get women
like that, I know you can.
                                                            
                       JASON
For once you're right. I just
gotta get back out in the game and
try to find someone.
                                                            

33.

Jason walks on the dancefloor. He approachs different women
with different pick up lines. Each one of the women rejects
him. He gets fustrated and goes back to the bar. There's a
man sitting near Jason who's having the same trouble with
women.
                                                            
                       MAN
I see you too are ahving a tough
night with the ladies. What can
you do? Buy one off the internet.
                                                            
A look comes on Jason's face as if he's really interested in
trying to find a woman on the internet.
                                                            
 
INT. JASON'S OFFICE - NIGHT
                                                            
Jason is sitting at the desk in his office. He is looking
at this website that allows you to order brides online. His
door is slightly ajarred. THERE IS A KNOCK AT HIS DOOR.
                                                            
                       JASON
Come in.
                                                            
Derek and Jennifer walks into Jason's office. They are
casually dressed. While entering into the office, they are
carrying on a conversation with Jason. Eventually, they
take seat in the chairs in his office.
                                                            
                       JENNIFER
Are you ready for dinner?
                                                            
                       JASON
I'm kinda busy right now. Go
ahead and I'll catch up with you
later.
                                                            
                       JENNIFER
What you working on? The reports
are completed and ready for
presentation.
                                                            

34.

                       JASON
I'm going over the reports for the
Johnson and Johnson account. Ted
said there might be an error in
the final calculations.
                                                            
                       JENNIFER
I talked to Ted this afternoon. He
said everything was ok. What are
you really working on?
                                                            
                       JASON
Fine. I'm really looking to buy
something off the internet.
                                                            
Derek and Jennifer look at each other. They both think
Jason is lying to them.
                                                            
                       DEREK
What are you buying? Are you
buying one of those blow up dolls.
You don't need to get that off
the internet. Just go to
Chamber's at the mall, they have
them really cheap.
                                                            
Jason and Jennifer look at Derek.
                                                            
                       DEREK
      (cont'd)
What? I went in there once to
used the bathroom.
                                                            
                       JASON
No. Its nothing like that. Its
something personal, but its
nothing sexual. And I don't want
to talk about it.
                                                            
                       JENNIFER
Then, why won't you tell us what
you're getting. Fine, I come over
there and see for myself.
                                                            
Jennifer quickly gets out of her chair. She goes to the

35.

other side of the desk to see what Jason is trying to hide.
Jason closes the window before she gets over there. Jason
tries to close the labtop. She gets to Jason's labtop
before he can close it. A smile comes over Jason's face.
                                                            
                       JENNIFER
You must forgot we took a computer
class together in college. All I
have to do is this right here.
(She presses a few buttons and
window reappears on the screen).
Now, let's see what you was trying
to keep us from seeing. This is a
website for getting brides off the
internet. Are you thinking of
gettting a bride off the internet?
You are planning to get a bride
of the internet.
                                                            
                       JASON
Yeah. It beats wasting time in
meaningless relationships looking
for the one. When you can just
pick one of the web.
                                                            
                       DEREK
Let me see this.
                                                            
Derek gets out of his seat and walks to the other side of
the desk. He reads the computer screen.
                                                            
                       DEREK
Melissa already got your mind
messed up. A few days without her
and you're already looking for
desperate women off the internet.
                                                            
                       JENNIFER
Look Jason, you'll never find true
love off the internet. Are you
looking for love or just sex?
                                                            
                       JASON
Does it really matter? Besides,
it doesn't matter where you find
love as long as you find it.
                                                            

36.

                       JENNIFER
What if you get your wife and the
two of you don't get along?
                                                            
                       JASON
That's no problem. I got a
guaranteed trial period. If I
don't like the girl I ordered
after thirty days, I just send her
back.
                                                            
                       DEREK
Don' t you know that most of the
women on the internet looking for
love are either fat or ugly or
both.
                                                            
                       JASON
For one, I'm tired of going to the
club and bar hopping looking for
women. This way I can get the
perfect woman for me without the
hassle. And second, they have
pictures on this website.
                                                            
                       DEREK
Really. But are they reall their
pictures? Its easy for them to
put somebody's else picture up
there.
                                                            
                       JASON
They'll refund your money if you
are not satified. And if the
woman uses someone's else picture
the will give you a two hundred
percent refund. So its a win-win
situation.
                                                            
                       DEREK
So how does this work?
                                                            
                       JASON
Just go to the search page. And
fill out the qualifications you
want. Then click on the find
            (MORE)

37.

                       JASON (cont'd)
button. And it'll come back with
a list of women with their
pictures and bios.
                                                            
                       JENNIFER
Don't you find this degrading to
women?
                                                            
                       JASON
Not really. They are looking for
a husband and I'm looking for a
wife. We are just cutting out all
the hassle of dating. So, I
don't think its really degrading
women.
                                                            
                       DEREK
Me either. Click on that one
right there.
                                                            
Derek points to one of the women on the screen. Jason
clicks the link to the woman's personal page. The personal
page comes on the screen. The camera zooms in on the screen
of the computer.
                                                            
                       DEREK
Man, she's hot.
                                                            
                       JASON
Yeah. And it says she's is very
flexible and willing to try
anything especially when it comes
to sex. She's everything you look
for in a woman.
                                                            
                       DEREK
Jason, can you order this one for
me.
                                                            
                       JENNIFER
Are you getting involved with this
online bride nonsense, too?
                                                            
                       DEREK
Why not? Jason said you get a
thirty day trial period. And if
            (MORE)

38.

                       DEREK (cont'd)
we don't get along, I'll just send
her back.
                                                            
                       JASON
Sure. I'll place your order with
mines.
                                                            
                       DEREK
Where's the one you gonna order
for yourself?
                                                            
Jason clicks on a couple of links and its goes to a picture
and bio of Tierra
                                                            
                       JASON
Her right there.
                                                            
                       JENNIFER
Will you two please order these
women so we can go and get
something to eat?
                                                            
                       JASON
Fine. Just give me a few minutes.
                                                            
Jason orders the women online, but the website is having
techincal problems and will not let them send their orders
online.
                                                            
                       DEREK
what's wrong?
                                                            
                       JASON
The website won't let me send in
the order online. I guess we just
have to fax in the order. Could
you go get the forms from the
printer.
                                                            
Jason sends two order forms; one for each woman
respectively. Derek goes to the printer. THE PRINTER
PRINTS OUT THE TWO FORMS. Derek gets the form and brings
them back to Jason's desk. Derek hands Jason one form and
keep the other for himself. Jason unknowingly fills out the
form with Desiree's name and ID number. Derek unknowingly
fills out the form with Tierra's name and ID number on it.
                                                            

39.

                       JASON
Go ahead and send the faxes while
I log off.
                                                            
Derek walks over to the fax machine and sends the letters.
Jason logs off his computer. They wait till the fax has
been sent.
                                                            
                       DEREK
Ok, fax sent. Let's go and get
something to eat.
                                                            
They leave Jason's office.
                                                            
 
INT. JASON'S AND DEREK'S APARTMENT - NIGHT
                                                            
Jason and Derek are sitting on the couch. They are watching
a game on tv. THE DOORBELL RINGS. They look at each other.
Neither one want to get the door.
                                                            
                       DEREK
Get the door. You're closer.
                                                            
Jason gets up and walk to the door. Jason opens the door
and a delivery guy is standing at the door.
                                                            
                       MAN
I have a delivery for Jason Starks
and Derek Morris.
                                                            
Derek walks to the door.
                                                            
                       JASON
Ok, that's us.
                                                            
                       MAN
This one is for Jason Starks.
                                                            
Desiree walks into the apartment carrying a suitcase.
                                                            
                       MAN
      (cont'd)
And this one is for Derek Morris.
                                                            

40.

Tierra walks into the apartment carrying a suitcase.Jason
and Derek look at each other with confused looks on their
faces.
                                                            
                       DEREK
But I ordered her(pointing to
Desiree).
                                                            
                       JASON
And I ordered her(pointing to
Tierra)
                                                            
                       DEREK
We're not taking anything we
didn't order.
                                                            
                       MAN
Look, your names are on the order
form. I don't decide what gets
shipped, I just make the delivery.
All I can do is take both of them
back with me and you'll still be
charged for the ladies plus an
additional three hundred dollars
return fee. Or you can keep both
of them and call the company to
work out an arrangement if there
is an error on their behalf. Now
can both of you please sign these
delivery forms.
                                                            
The delivery guy hands Jason and Derek the shipping forms.
Feeling like they hav no other choice, they sign the
shipping forms. They hand the papers back to the delivery
guy.
                                                            
                       MAN
Thank you.
                                                            
The delivery guy leaves the apartment.
                                                            
                       JASON
You ladies can take a seat, if you
like.
                                                            
Tierra and Desiree sit down on the sofa.
                                                            

41.

                       JASON
      (cont'd)
while we try to figure this out.
                                                            
Jason and Derek isloate themselves from the girls; so they
can had a private conversation about the situation. As they
are talking, they are looking at the forms they are signing
                                                            
                       DEREK
What did you do with the order
forms we faxed to the agency?
                                                            
                       JASON
Still in my briefcase. You go get
the order forms out of my
briefcase while I call the agency.
                                                            
Derek goes into the Jason's room to get the forms out of the
briefcase. Jason picks the up the telephone and calls the
agency. He gets the number off the shipping form.
                                                            
                       JASON
Hello. Yes, me and my roommate
just receive the brides we ordered
from your agency and you shipped
us the wrong ones. You sent the
one he ordered to me. And the one
he ordered was sent to me. My
name is Jason Starks. Starks.
S-T-A-R-K-S.
                                                            
Derek walks out of Jason's room. He is reading the forms as
he walk out of the room. He walks up to Jason who is still
on the telephone.
                                                            
                       JASON
She got me on hold right now.
                                                            
                       DEREK
I think they sent us the right
ones. You filled out the form
with Desiree's name and ID number.
And I filled out the one with
Tierra's.
                                                            
Derek hands the forms to Jason. Jason looks at the forms.
                                                            

42.

                       JASON
      (to the lady on
       the telephone)
Miss it seems that we made a
mistake and ordered the wrong one.
Is there anyway you could switch
our ordrers on your computer. I
see. Thank you.
                                                            
Jason hangs up the telephone
                                                            
                       DEREK
What she say?
                                                            
                       JASON
She said she don't have the
authority to change our orders
over the phone. She said that we
can call back tomorrow morning and
talk to a manager. But, she says
that they will tell us to wait the
thirty days and send them back.
                                                            
                       DEREK
We could go down to their local
office and talk to someone there.
                                                            
                       JASON
Yeah, but their closest office is
in Portland, Brazil. Do you
really want to go through all that
trouble for a fifteen minute
meeting?
                                                            
                       DEREK
That means we have to get
passports. I have clear my
schedule for a few day. Go get a
passport. And cancel my yoga
class. That's too much trouble.
Why don't we keep the one they
sent us . And if we don't like
her , just sent her back and
reorder when the thiirty days are
over.
                                                            

43.

                       JASON
Or we could simply just trade and
tell nobody.
                                                            
                       DEREK
I don't think that would be fair
to the girls. I mean Tierra was
trained to like what you like. And
Desiree was trained to like what
you like.
                                                            
                       JASON
You're just saying that cause
Tierra has a better body.
                                                            
                       DEREK
No. I'm saying we messed up. Why
should they have to pay for our
mistake?
                                                            
                       JASON
Fine then. Lets go learn more
about our new brides.
                                                            
Jason and Derek walks into the living room. They sit down
and talks to Desiree and Tierra.
                                                            
                       JASON
We decide that we will keep the
one that was sent to us. Desiree.
Tierra, I'm Jason and thia is
Derek. Since you are gonna be
here for at least thirty days, we
would like to know more about you.
                                                            
                       DESIREE
I think I can speak also for
Tierra when I say this. We like
whatever you like.
                                                            
                       DEREK
I think I'm gonna love this.
                                                            
                       JASON
No. We alrady know what we like.
We want to know what you like.
                                                            

44.

                       DESIREE
Well, I like black and white
movies, basketball,I'm a big fan
of Kobe and Shaquille O'Neal. and
music. Is there anyway we can see
them play?
                                                            
                       DEREK
The Lakers are playing the Bulls
at the end of the month. I think
should be able to get some tickets
for that game.
                                                            
                       JASON
So what about you Tierra. Do you
have any likes are dislikes we
need to know about?
                                                            
                       TIERRA
I like fruits, the rain, but I
love great sex.
                                                            
                       DEREK
Yes.
                                                            
                       JASON
Is there anything you want to know
about us?
                                                            
                       TIERRA
Are we gonna meet any of your
friends?
                                                            
                       DEREK
Yeah. In fact, we are throwing a
party in a couple of weeks.
                                                            
                       JASON
What about you, Desiree?
                                                            
                       DESIREE
Yes, I'm kinda tired from the
flight. I was wondering could you
show me to where I will be
sleeping.
                                                            

45.

                       TIERRA
Yeah. i think I'm a little tired,
too.
                                                            
                       JASON
Me and Derek decided that it would
be that you two should sleep in

                       JASON
Then, what is it?
                                                            
                       DESIREE
Could you teach me how to dance?
                                                            
                       JASON
What? You don't know how to
dance? But on your bio said that
you took four years of ballet.
                                                            
                       DESIREE
I lied. I mean everybody lies on
their resume. I also said I could
cook, but you don't see me doing
that. Do you?
                                                            
                       JASON
You can't cook either?
                                                            
                       DESIREE
Yeah. If you count making burnt
biscuits. If not, then no. So

dance or not?
                                                            
                       JASON
I'll teach you, but only if you
learn how to cook, too.
                                                            
Jason goes to turn the music a little louder
                                                            

53.

                       JASON
Now let me see how you dance.
                                                            
Jason walks back over to where Desiree is standing; to get a
better look.
                                                            
                       DESIREE
But I can't.
                                                            
                       JASON

Desiree starts dancing. Jason is shocked by how terrible
Desiree dances.
                                                            
                       JASON
Ok.Ok. You can stop now.
                                                            
Desiree stops dancing.
                                                            
                       DESIREE
Told you.
                                                            
                       JASON
It's not that bad. It's just that
you're trying to hard. Just relax
and let the music move you. Watch
me.
                                                            
Jason starts dancing.
                                                            
                       JASON
      (cont'd)
See how I'm relax and moving
along with the music. Now you try
it.
                                                            
Desiree starts dancing.
                                                            
                       JASON
There you go. Just relax a little
more. Ok. Now, I'm gonna move a
little closer to you.
                                                            
Jason moves closer to Desiree. They are dancing together.

Then, suddenly Jason gets a little closer to Desire. She
gets nervous and starts dancing terrible again. She steps
on his foot and knees him the groin. Jason falls to the
floor.
                                                            
                       DESIREE
Are you ok?
                                                            
Desiree helps Jason off the floor.
                                                            
                       JASON
I'm ok, but I'll be better in a
few minutes.
                                                            
                       DESIREE
I'm sorry. I guess you made me a
little nervous.
                                                            
                       JASON
I think we should work on your
slow dancing right now.
                                                            
Jason walks over to the DJing equipment.
                                                            
                       JASON
      (cont'd)
Who do you want to dance to?
                                                            
                       DESIREE
It doesn't matter. I like all
types of music. I just can't
dance to them.
                                                            
Jason takes off the record that was playing and replaces it
with one he pull out of the crate.
                                                            
                       JASON
There. Let's see if you can dance
to this.
                                                            
Jason plays a slow song. Then, he walks over to Desiree. He
holds out his hand to her. She takes his hand. They start
dancing with each other. They are dancing terrible.
                                                            
                       JASON
This we'll go a hold lot better if
you let me lead.
                                                            

55.

Desiree lets Jason lead.
                                                            
                       JASON
Now just relax a little bit.
                                                            
                       DESIREE
I'm sorry but dancing makes me
nervous.
                                                            
                       JASON
Well, think about something that
don't make you nervous. So, what
don't makes you nervous?
                                                            
                       DESIREE
Sex.
                                                            
                       JASON
      (a little
       uncomfortable)
Ok then. When you're dancing,
think that you're having sex.
                                                            
Desiree starts dancing really sex with Jason. Jason is
getting aroused on by the way she is dancing with him. The
song stops playing.
                                                            
                       DESIREE
So what do you think?
                                                            
                       JASON
      (almost hypnotic
       state)
Incredible. I would love to dance
with you all night long.
                                                            
                       DESIREE
I had a feeling that you liked the
way I danced.
                                                            
Desiree looks down at Jason's pants.
                                                            
                       DESIREE

I guess your little friend is
feeling better now.

now.
                                                            
                       DESIREE
What would it take for him to feel
wonderful?
                                                            
                       JASON
I think I need a cigarette.
                                                            
                       DESIREE
I thought people in America smoke
a cigarette after sex. Not
before.
                                                            
                       JASON
I think you watch to many black
and white movies.
                                                            
Jason and Desiree exchanges glances at each other. Desiree
lends forward and kisses Jason. Jason is about o talk, but
Desiree puts her finger over his mouth.
                                                            
                       DESIREE

wondering why you didn't feel on
my butt. Is there something wrong
with my butt. Do you like your
woman to have a big or small butt?
                                                            

58.

                       JASON
I don't know. I really haven
thought about it. I guess big,
but not too big.
                                                            
                       DESIREE

or eating. Jason is pointing out some of the people he
knows to Desiree. Jason exchanges glannces with a woman
from across the room. The woman is wearing a red dress with
her hair pinned up. She is talking to a group of women. She
notices that Jason was looking at her.
                                                            

60.

                       JASON
Oh no. Who invited her?
                                                            
                       DESIREE
      (curious)
Who are you talking about?
                                                            
                       JASON
You see that girl over there by
the wall?
                                                            
Desiree sees a group of women standing near the wall where
Jason indicated.
                                                            
                       DESIREE
Yeah. I see a group of beautiful
women. So what's so special about
them?
                                                            
                       JASON
You see the one in the red dress
with her hair pinned up.
                                                            
                       DESIREE
She's the best looking one. If I
may ask, why didn't you date her
instead of sending for me.
                                                            
The woman starts walking towards Jason and Desiree.
                                                            
                       JASON
Just great she's on her way over
here. She has a bad personality.
Plus her breath stinks. It smells
like she was french kissing a baby
diaper.
                                                            
                       DESIREE
Her breath cannot smell that bad.
                                                            
                       JASON
Ok. You can smell it when she get
over here.
                                                            
The lady stands in front of Jason and Desiree. She starts a
conversation with Jason and Desiree.
                                                            

61.

                       MELISSA2
Hey Jason.
                                                            
                       JASON
Hey Melissa
                                                            
                       DESIREE
Melissa. IS this your old
girlfriend?
                                                            
                       MELISSA2
No. I'm the Melissa Walker that
Jason works with.
                                                            
Jason and Melissa starts to smell Melissa's breath.
                                                            
                       DESIREE
What?
                                                            
                       JASON
You see I know two Melissa Walker.
One was my ex-girlfriend. And
one I work with. This is the one
I work with.
                                                            
                       MELISSA2
Yeah. For some reason or another
Jason nevered asked me out. I
guess he didn't want to cause
confusion; seeing that we work
together. I know it would cause a
lot of gossip at work. What do
you think, Desiree?
                                                            
Melissa's breath is really getting to Desiree and Jason.
                                                            
                       DESIREE
I think I need a drink.
                                                            
Desiree rushes off to the table where the drinks are at.
                                                            
                       MELISSA2
What's wrong with her?
                                                            

62.

                       JASON
It must be something she ate. I've
better go check up on her.
                                                            
Jason catches up with Desiree. She's at the drink table.
Desiree has a drink in her hand.
                                                            
                       JASON
I told you so.
                                                            
                       DESIREE
Yeah, but I didn't expect her
breath to smell that bad.
                                                            
Derek walks over to the table where Jason and Desiree are
at.
                                                            
                       JASON
I know. That's why I don't say
much to her.
                                                            
                       DEREK
Who are you talking about?
                                                            
                       JASON
The Melissa from work.
                                                            
                       DEREK
Oh yeah. Tight body, pretty face.
And she messes it all up when she
talks. I never understood why her
breath smelled that bad. Maybe
she needs a laxative.
                                                            
                       DESIREE
What?
                                                            
                       DEREK
They say bad breath is not
necessary a result of not brushing
your teeth. It could be the
ressult of not cleaning out your
system.
                                                            
                       JASON
Where did you hear this from?
                                                            

63.

                       DEREK
The Discovery Channel.
                                                            
                       JASON
Was you drunk when you was
watching the Discovery Channel?
                                                            
                       DEREK
But of course. How else am I
gonna watch the Discovery Channel?
You get to see animals go at it.
Its like free nature porn.
                                                            
THE DOORBELL RINGS SEVERAL TIMES. However, its hard to hear
the doorbell because of the music.
                                                            
                       DESIREE
I think that's the doorbell.
                                                            
                       JASON
Stop talking that nonsense and go
check and see if anyone at the
door.
                                                            
Derek walks through the crowd to get to the door. When he
opens the door, Ash is standing there.
                                                            
                       DEREK
What are you doing here?
                                                            
                       ASH
Coming to your party. If that's
ok?
                                                            
                       DEREK
Sure come in. Its just that I
didn't expect you to come.
                                                            
Ash walks into the apartment.
                                                            
                       ASH
Thanks. I hope that its ok that I
brought a friend with me.
                                                            

64.

                       DEREK
      (closing the door)
Where is this friend?
                                                            
                       ASH
You're closing the door in her
face.
                                                            
Derek opens the door.
                                                            
                       DEREK
Sorry. I didn't see you there.
Melissa. What are you doing here?
                                                            
                       MELISSA
I'm here with my cousin Ash.
                                                            
                       ASH
So I take it that you two know
each other.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
Yeah. I use to date his roommate.
                                                            
                       ASH
Maybe we should go. It might be a
little to awkward in here.
                                                            
                       DEREK
Don't be silly. We're all adults
here. Nobody gonna through a
tantrum around here.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
Speaking of childish behavior,
where is Jason?
                                                            
                       DEREK
Jason. Oh Jason. he's here
somewhere. Let me take your
jackets
                                                            
Derek quickly and roughly gets Melissa jacket off her.
                                                            

65.

                       DEREK
      (cont'd)
Do you want something to drink?
Ash, what do you want? A beer.
Melissa, What about you? A beer,
too. Ok, I'll be right back with
your beers.
                                                            
Derek rushes over to the table where Jason is at.
                                                            
                       DEREK
Melissa's here. Where's Desiree?
                                                            
                       JASON
In the bathroom. I know that
Melissa here. I talked to her. I
told you that before you went to
the door.
                                                            
                       DEREK
Not that Melissa. The other
Melissa. Your ex-girlfriend
Melissa.
                                                            
                       JASON
I know.
                                                            
                       DEREK
How did you know that? She just
got here.
                                                            
                       JASON
Cause she's standing right behind
you.
                                                            
Derek turns around and sees Melissa standing right behind
him.
                                                            
                       DEREK
I'll think I'll go put this jacket
up.
                                                            
Derek walks away; leaving Melissa and Jason near the table
talking with each other. There is an awkward moment of
silence between them.
                                                            

66.

                       MELISSA
So, Jason how have you been?
                                                            
                       JASON
I'm doing ok. How about yourself?
                                                            
                       MELISSA
Good. Where this new girl I heard
so much about?
                                                            
                       JASON
She's around here somewhere. What
about yourself? How did you come
here with?
                                                            
                       MELISSA
I'm came here with my cousin Ash.
I'm not gonna rush into a
relationship or order someone off
the internet.
                                                            
                       JASON
You just might have too. I mean
you're not gonna find anyone that
could put up with your mood swings
and flaws.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
My flaws. You're the one who had
to order a bride just find someone
to put with that feet fungus you
have.
                                                            
A few girls had walk up to the table. They heard Melissa's
comment and looked at Jason in disgust. The women walks
away. Next a guy starts to walk toward Melissa; as if he is
gonna try to pick her up.
                                                            
                       JASON
Probably as much of a problem you
have finding a guy to put up with
your constant yeast infections.
                                                            
The guy walks away from Melissa as soon as he hear that
comment.
                                                            

67.

                       MELISSA
Look at you. You just ran that
guy away. What's the matter.
Afraid that he might be better in
bed. I'm sure he'll last longer.
                                                            
                       JASON
Maybe. But if he's having sex
with you, he might want to fake it
to get it over with. Remember
hearing this: Oh Melissa. Oh my
God. Nobody is a good as you. Oh
my God.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
I don't have to stand here and
take this.
                                                            
                       JASON
Well then, that leaves you with
two options. You can sit down and
take it or you can get the hell
out.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
I think I will be leaving this
hell hole.
                                                            
Melissa storms away from Jason. She is heading toward Ash
and Derek.
                                                            
                       JASON
Good. I'm gonna make sure your
ass gets outta here.
                                                            
Jason follows Melissa.
                                                            
Melissa interrupts Ash's and Derek's conversation.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
We gotta go.
                                                            
                       ASH
What? Why? We just got here. And
I'm having fun here.
                                                            

68.

                       MELISSA
I don't like some of the people
here.
                                                            
Jason walks up.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
      (cont'd)
And I don't want to be where I'm
not wanted.
                                                            
                       JASON
Then, what are you still doing
here?
                                                            
                       ASH
Fine. Well, I'll talk to you some
other time.
                                                            
Melissa heads for the door.
                                                            
                       ASH
      (cont'd)
Aren't you gonna get your jacket?
                                                            
Melissa turns back around. She walks pass Derek, Jason, and
Melissa. When she walk pass them, she grabs Ash's arm and
pulls Ash with her. They go to get Melissa's jacket. Jasona
and Derek has a small conversation.
                                                            
                       DEREK
What are you doing?
                                                            
                       JASON
I don't want her here.
                                                            
                       DEREK
What?
                                                            
Jason looks at Derek.
                                                            
                       DEREK
      (cont'd)
Look, you and Melissa have been a
couple for what about a year. But
you have been friends for longer
            (MORE)

69.

                       DEREK (cont'd)
than that. Good friends. A
friend like that is hard to come
by. And now you want to throw
that away because she's no longer
your girlfriend? Well, do you?
                                                            
Jason thinks about it for a few seconds. Then, he look at
Derek.
                                                            
                       JASON
I think I can live with that.
                                                            
Jason starts to walk away. Derek stops him.
                                                            
                       DEREK
Ok. Then, do it for me.
                                                            
                       JASON
What?
                                                            
                       DEREK
If you smooth things over with
Melissa, she'll stay for the
party. And if she stays, Ash
stays. And I can spend more time
with Ash. Come on man, I think
Ash may be the one.
                                                            
                       JASON
What about Tierra.
                                                            
                       DEREK
Look at her. She's spending more
time with that girl over there
than me. Now could you do this
for me?
                                                            
Melissa and Ash walk pass Derek and Jason and head to the
door. Derek gives Jason a look.
                                                            
                       JASON
Fine.
                                                            
Jason goes after Melissa and Ash. He catches up with them.
Melissa is standing in the hallway. Ash is in the doorway.
                                                            

70.

                       JASON
Wait. Could you wait here while I
talk to Melissa?
                                                            
Ash stays inside of the apartment. Jason goes out into the
hall. He closes the door to the apartment after him.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
What do you want? To kick me out
of the hallway.
                                                            
                       JASON
No. No. Can I talk to you for a
second. We can continue to take
cheap shots at each other, yelling
at each other, or what not. Or we
can act like adults continue to be
friend. I would love to continue
to be friends with you. I need you
in my life. I want you in my
life. I mean if I can't have you
as my girlfrind, at least I want
you to be my friend. And I know
deep in your heart you feel the
same way. So what do you want to
do?
                                                            
Jason opens the door for Melissa. Jason holds the door open
for Meliss
                                                            
                       MELISSA
Fine.
                                                            
Melissa walks back into the apartment. Jason follows her
in. Melissa walks up to Ash and Derek; who are having a
conversation.
                                                            
                       ASH
So, are we going or not?
                                                            
                       MELISSA
We're staying. I'm just gonna go
and to put my jacket it up. I
don't want to dance in it all
night and get it sweaty.
                                                            

71.

Melissa leaves Derek and Ash to go put her jacket in Jason's
room. Jason walks pass Derek. Derek gives him a thank you
pat on the shoulder as he walks by. Desiree walsk up to
Jason and she whispers something in his ear. A smile comes
to Jason's face. They starts dancing.
                                                            
 
INT. JASON'S BEDROOM - NIGHT
                                                            
Melissa walks into Jason's bedroom. She walks to the
closest mirror to fix her hair. She walks to the bed to
place her jacket on it. She takes off her jacket. She
places the jacket on the bed. As she places the jacket on
the bed, her keys fall out of her jacket's pocket. She
search through the coats to find her keys. She finds her
keys. She decide to keep her keys on her. She puts the
keys in her pants pocket. As she puts the keys inside her
pocket, she sees something on the floor. She bends down to
pick up what she saw on the floor. She finds Desiree's
underwear.
                                                            
 
INT. JASON'S AND DEREK'S APARTMENT - NIGHT
                                                            
Melissa walks out of Jason's bedroom. She sees Jason and
Desiree dancing on the dancefloor. She also sees Ash and
Derek having a good time together. Melissa walks to the
table with the drinks. She starts fixing herself a drink.
She continues to fix herself a drink as soon as she finishes
the one before. The camera goes back and forth from Desiree
and Jason dancing to Melissa drinking out of her cup. After
dancing, Desiree and Jason walks over to the table where the
drinks are.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
You need some more ice.
                                                            
                       DESIREE
Hand me the bowl and I'll go get
some more out of the refridgator.
                                                            
Jason hands Desiree the bowl for the ice. Desiree heads
into the kitchen to get some more ice.
                                                            

72.

                       MELISSA
Could you please fix me another
drink?
                                                            
                       JASON
Sure. Hand me your cup.
                                                            
Melissa hands Jason her cup. In doing so, Melissa knocks
some of the other cups off the table.
                                                            
                       JASON
I think you done had enough to
drink. You're already wasted.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
Either fix my drink or Give me
back my cup. I'll fix it myself.
                                                            
Derek hands back the cup to Melissa. She snatches the cup
from his hands. She struggles to fix her own drink. Jason
watches her in disbelief.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
So, how are things with you and
Desiree?
                                                            
A surprsie look comes on Jason's face.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
      (cont'd)
You said you wanted to be friends.
So tell me. I mean these are the
things friends talk about.
                                                            
                       JASON
Ok. If you really want to know,
things are going pretty good;
better than I expected.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
I'm really glad to hear that.
                                                            
                       JASON
What about yourself? Anything
happening with you and guy from
the club?
                                                            

73.

                       MELISSA
Not really. He really wasn't my
type.
                                                            
                       JASON
I'm sorry to hear that.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
Don't worry about it. His wife
didn't think I was really his type
anyway.
                                                            
Desiree returns with the bowl of ice.
                                                            
                       DESIREE
Here's the ice.
                                                            
Desiree hands Jason the bowl of ice.
                                                            
                       JASON
Thank you.
                                                            
Jason places the bowl of ice on the table. He start fixing
a couple of drinks.
                                                            
                       JASON
      (cont'd)
Melissa, this is Desiree. And
Desiree, this is Melissa.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
Hello.
                                                            
                       DESIREE
Hello. Are you enjoying yourself?
                                                            

74.

                       MELISSA
Surprisingly yes. I mean when I
first got here I thought it was
gonna be awkward. But its ok. I
got all of my friends here. What
about yourself? How are things
going for you. It must be
different for you to walk around
with clothes on. Being that
you're from a third world country
and all.
                                                            
                       JASON
Melissa, what are saying? Desiree,
ignore her. It seems that she had
too much to drink, so ignore what
she says.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
I'm not drunk. And I know what
I'm saying. So, what did you do
for fun in your country, run
around chasing zebras and killing
tigers?
                                                            
                       DESIREE
Actually, I'm from a small city in
Columbia. And we don't have
tigers or zebras running around
there.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
Columbia. What did you do back
there? Smuggle drugs. Look
everybody, we got a drug dealer in
the house.
                                                            
                       JASON
Quiet it down. If you keep this
up I will be force to ask you to
leave.
                                                            

75.

                       MELISSA
Or are you one of those girls that
come over here and do tricks. So
which one are you a drug dealer or
a hooker?
                                                            
                       JASON
Get out.
                                                            
                       DESIREE
That's ok, I can handle this. If
you knew how to satify your man,
maybe he wouldn't need anyone
else.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
Well, I don't know how they do it
in your country, but we don't need
to find hoes off the internet.
                                                            
                       DESIREE
Apparently, Jason felt like he
did. Maybe if you were more
flexible, in and out of the bed,
Jason would still be with you.
                                                            
Frustrated by what Desiree said, Melissa throws some ice at
Desiree. Desiree ignores the ice throwing jesture of
Melissa. Melissa throws some more ice on Desiree.
                                                            
                       JASON
What are you doing?
                                                            
                       MELISSA
Helping out. It looks like your
hot mamma cita needs a little
cooling off.
                                                            
Melissa hits Desiree with some more ice. Desiree has had
enough. She throws some wings at Melissa. Melissa ducks
and the wings hit some other people. These people gets
upset and throws the wings back. This leads to a food
fight. A guy walks up to the table.
                                                            
                       MAN
Is there any more wings left?
                                                            

76.

A handful of wings hit the man in the face.
                                                            
                       MAN
Could I get some dressing to go
with it?
                                                            
The man is hit with a lot of ranch dressing.
                                                            
                       MAN
Thank you.
                                                            
The man walks away. The food fight continues. A blow up
doll is being passed around the room. Derek is chasing
after the blow up doll.
                                                            
                       DEREK
Give me back my doll.
                                                            
The party is over. Everyone is gone. Tierra, Jason, Derek,
and Desiree are about finish cleaning up the apartment.
                                                            
                       DEREK
Tonight was the greatest party we
ever thrown.
                                                            
                       TIERRA
Yeah. You guys got some cool
friends. And the food fight was
funny.
                                                            
                       DEREK
Yeah. How did it get started.
                                                            
Jason and Desiree look at each other and smile.
                                                            
                       DEREK
So, what do ya'll want to do now?
                                                            
                       JASON
Man, I'm tired. I'm going to bed.
                                                            
                       DESIREE
Me too.
                                                            
                       TIERRA
Yeah. Its getting kinda late.
                                                            

77.

                       JASON
Desiree.
                                                            
Desiree turns around.
                                                            
                       JASON
      (cont'd)
I would like for you to sleep with
me tonight. We don't have to have
sex. I just want to lay next to
you and wake up with you in my

                       DESIREE
I would really like that.
                                                            
The hold hands as the walk into Jason's bedroom. They close
the door behind them.
                                                            
                       DEREK
Tierra, I would like for you to
sleep with you tonight. We don't
have to have sex. I just want to
sleep with you and wake up in your
arms.
                                                            
                       TIERRA
OK.
                                                            
Derek is surprise and excite that Tierra said ok. He
follows Tierra to her bedroom. She closes the door before
Derek could get in the room.
                                                            
                       DEREK
What are you doing? I thought you
wanted to sleep together. Oh ok.
You're slipping into something
more comfortable. Let me know
when you're ready for Big Daddy to
come in.
                                                            
TIERRA LOCKS THE DOOR TO HER ROOM. The lighs are turned off
in Tierra's room.
                                                            

78.

                       DEREK
That's ok. I understand. you
want to wait till after the
wedding.
                                                            
Disappointed, Derek goes to his room and goes to bed.

80.

                       JASON
Why? Janet is a great secetary
and I'm lucky to have her.
                                                            
                       JASON'S MOTHER
I don't trust her.
                                                            
                       JASON
Mom, you don't know her.
                                                            
                       JASON'S MOTHER
That's not the point.
                                                            
                       JASON
What's the point?
                                                            
                       JASON'S MOTHER
That I don't trust her.
                                                            
                       JASON
Ah forget it. I don't feel like
arguing with you.
                                                            
                       JASON'S FATHER
Don't you use that tone with your
mother.
                                                            
                       JASON
What tone?
                                                            
                       JASON'S FATHER
Are you questioning me? You know
you're not to old to get thrown
across my knee.
                                                            
                       JASON'S MOTHER
You should be happy to see your
parents. Oh Lord, our son doesn't
love us anymore.
                                                            
                       JASON
Yes, I do.
                                                            
Jason leans forward and gives his mother a kiss on her

81.

                       JASON
Feel better?
                                                            
                       JASON'S MOTHER
No. You don't call or write us to

sad that we had to hear it from
your sister who heard it from your
cousin Michelle who heard it from
Barbara who heard it
                                                            
                       JASON
Ok. Ok. I get the point. I've

                       JASON'S FATHER
What the hell is going on in your
life boy?
                                                            
                       JASON
Look, its a long story.
                                                            
                       JASON'S FATHER
Well, we didn't travel three hours
not to hear it.
                                                            
                       JASON
Fine. How about we catch an early
dinner and I tell you everything.
                                                            
                       JASON'S FATHER
Sounds good to me.
                                                            
                       JASON'S MOTHER
Ok, but only if we get to meet

                       JASON'S FATHER

                       JASON
Mark Anthony's. Good. I'll meet
you there in about thirty minutes.
                                                            
                       JASON'S MOTHER
We can wait for you.
                                                            
                       JASON
That's ok. I got to spend out a
bunch of faxes and make a few
calls. I'll be there before you
finish your salad. I promise.
                                                            
                       JASON'S MOTHER
Fine. We'll meet you there in
thirty minutes.
                                                            
                       JASON
Thirty minutes.
                                                            
                       JASON'S FATHER

83.

                       JASON'S FATHER
Yeah, we got the spagetti for you.
                                                            
                       JASON'S MOTHER
I know how much you love
spaghetti. Remember when you used
to throw a tantrum if didn't have
spagetti at least once a week. You
take off all of your clothes and
run through the house naked.
                                                            
Jason and the waiter/waitress exchanges glances at each
other.
                                                            
                       JASON
I was only five.
                                                            
                       JASON'S MOTHER
No. I think you were sixteen.
                                                            
The waiter/waitress looks at Jason and walks away. They
start to eat their meal.
                                                            
                       JASON
Could you please pass the
breadsticks?
                                                            
                       JASON'S MOTHER
Sure.
                                                            
Jason's mother passes the breadsticks to Jason.
                                                            
                       JASON'S MOTHER
So when are we gonna meet this new
girl we hear so much about?
                                                            
                       JASON'S FATHER
Whatever happen to that Melissa

                       JASON

84.

                       JASON'S MOTHER
Fred quit. You're embarrassing the
boy. So how about your new lady
friend.
                                                            
                       JASON
She's a very beautiful, charming,
and intelligent young lady.
                                                            
                       JASON'S FATHER
What she look like?
                                                            
                       JASON
I said she was beautiful.
                                                            
                       JASON'S FATHER
And I heard you. I wanna know is
she fat, skinny, short, tall. I
mean God is she that ugly.
                                                            
                       JASON
She's petite nice looking young
lady with shoulder length hair.
                                                            
                       JASON'S FATHER
Does she look better than Melissa?
                                                            
                       JASON
What kind of question is that?
                                                            
                       JASON'S FATHER
I take that as a no.
                                                            
                       JASON'S MOTHER
That's not important. How did you
meet this young lady?
                                                            
                       JASON
      (quiet voice)
I sort of met her online.
                                                            
                       JASON'S FATHER
Where?
                                                            
                       JASON
Online. I meet her online.
                                                            

85.

                       JASON'S MOTHER
Why are you so embarrassed that
you met a woman over the internet.
Its ok. As long as love each
other, it doesn't matter how you
meet.
                                                            
                       JASON
I'm not embarrassed of her.
                                                            
                       JASON'S MOTHER
What she do for a living?
                                                            
                       JASON
Its not really important what she
does for a living.
                                                            
                       JASON'S FATHER
Are you ashamed of her, son?
                                                            
                       JASON
No.
                                                            
                       JASON'S MOTHER
Then, why won't you tell us what
she does for a living?
                                                            
                       JASON
Cause you'll prejudge her by what
she does for a living.
                                                            
                       JASON'S MOTHER
That's not true. Remember Rebecca
Johnson. She work as a
garbageman, I mean gargewoman.
                                                            
                       JASON
Mom, when she left from visiting
me, you told her to take the trash
out with her.
                                                            
                       JASON'S MOTHER
It would've save her some time
during the week. Look, all we
want is to see you happy.
                                                            

86.

                       JASON'S FATHER
Yeah son. We wouldn't care if she
was a goat herder. But if she is,
could you ask her to get me some
goat milk. I never had any of
that before. You know they say it
taste just like regular milk.
                                                            
                       JASON
Ok, I'll tell you. She's an
online bride. I got myself an
online bride. You happy now?
                                                            
                       JASON'S MOTHER
What is that?
                                                            
                       JASON
I went on the internet and ordered
myself a bride.
                                                            
                       JASON'S FATHER
Oh ok. She's an escort.
                                                            
                       JASON
No. She's not any escort.
                                                            
The waiter/waitres walks to the table.
                                                            
                       JASON'S MOTHER
A hooker. You're marrying a
hooker.
                                                            
The waiter/waitress looks at Jason and walks away without
saying a word.
                                                            
                       JASON
No, she's not a hooker. And could
you please lower your voices.
                                                            
                       JASON'S FATHER
Was she one of those hookers on
HBO?
                                                            
                       JASON'S MOTHER
I know what you're talking about.
What was the name of that show?
                                                            

87.

                       JASON'S FATHER
I think you're talking about Real
Sex.
                                                            
                       JASON'S MOTHER
No, I think it was Taxi Cab
Confession. The one where they was
in Las Vegas. You know they got a
lot of hookers there.
                                                            
                       JASON
You're both wrong. It was At The
Point and Back At the Point. And
no she was not on those shows.
                                                            
                       JASON'S MOTHER
This is great news. I gotta tell
somebody.
                                                            
Jason's mother lends over to the table beside her. She taps
the man on the shoulder. The man turns around.
                                                            
                       JASON'S MOTHER
My son is marrying a celebrity
hooker. She was on HBO.
                                                            
The man looks at Jason. Jason is embarrassed by his
mother's action. He calls out to a passing waiter/waitress.
                                                            
                       JASON
Check please.

                       JASON'S FATHER
What do you have?
                                                            
                       JASON
Juice, soda, milk, and water.
                                                            
                       JASON'S FATHER
I take a soda.
                                                            
                       JASON'S MOTHER
Me too.
                                                            
THERE ARE SOUNDS OF A WOMAN MOANING FROM SEX.
                                                            
                       JASON'S MOTHER
Where's that noise coming from?
                                                            
                       JASON
What noise? I didn't here
anything.
                                                            
                       JASON'S FATHER
I heard it too. It sounds like
its coming from your bedroom.
                                                            
                       JASON
I doubt that its coming from my
room. Its probably my neighbors.
They can get loud sometimes.
                                                            
IT SOUNDS LIKE A LAMP HAS FALLEN TO THE FLOOR IN ANOTHER
ROOM. Jason's parents stands up and walks toward Jason's
room. They are curious about the noise.
                                                            
                       JASON
Wait here. I'll go check out the
noise.
                                                            
Jason's parents sit back down. Jason looks around for

something to take with him in there. He grabs a wooden
paper towel holder. He heads into his room. The door is
slightly ajarred and the light is on. Jason bust into the
room. Derek is startled and almost drops a camcorder. Derek
is standing there in his boxers and a t-shirt. Desiree and
Tierra is in the bed naked.
                                                            
                       DEREK
Its you. You scared me half to
death.
                                                            
                       JASON
What are ya'll doing in here?
                                                            
                       DEREK
Your bed is bigger than mines.
                                                            
                       JASON
So you was gonna use my bed to
have sex in my bed with my wife to
be because my bed is bigger.
                                                            
                       DEREK
Yeah. I mean no. I was just
filming them having sex.
                                                            
                       JASON
So let me get this straight. You

need to know about?
                                                            
                       DEREK
Well, sort of. Come on out.
                                                            
Jennifer slowly removes the cover off her concealed body.
                                                            
                       JASON
Jennifer, how could yo do this to
me?
                                                            
                       JENNIFER
Do what? It ain't like we haven't
done this before. We shared
plenty of women before. Why is
this any different?
                                                            

90.

                       JASON
Because I'm supposed to marry
Desiree.
                                                            
Jason turns to Derek.
                                                            
                       JASON
And you was just gonna let this
happen?
                                                            
                       DEREK
I tried to stop it, but they said
they were gonna use whipped cream,
cherries, and fruit flavored
popiscles. And you know I'm a
health nut.
                                                            
                       JASON
So you was gonna make a porn video
with my parents in the next room.
                                                            
                       DEREK
For one, we didn't know your
parents was gonna be here. And
second, they are not in the next
room. They're standing right
behind you.
                                                            
Jason turns around and sees his parents.
                                                            
                       JASON
I thought I ask ya'll to wait in
the other room.
                                                            
                       JASON'S FATHER
You did. But we heard you say
naked women having sex. So we
came in. Can you introduce us to

                       JASON
Ok. You already know Derek and
Jennifer. That's Desiree. That's
Tierra.
                                                            

91.

                       JASON'S MOTHER
Which one of these ladies are you
suppose to marry?
                                                            
                       JASON
Desiree.
                                                            
Desiree raise her hand. The sheet falls out of her; showing
her chest.
                                                            
                       JASON'S FATHER
Son, you did good for yourself.
She's gorgoues. And she got nice

                       JASON'S MOTHER
Can I touch them?
                                                            
                       DESIREE
Sure.
                                                            
                       JASON'S FATHER
Me too?
                                                            
Jason's parents make their way to Desiree's side of the bed.
They touch her breasts.
                                                            
                       JASON'S FATHER
These are incredible.
                                                            
                       JASON'S MOTHER
I know. They are softer than our
next door neighbor's.
                                                            

92.

                       DEREK
You felt your neighbor's tits?
                                                            
                       JASON'S FATHER
I didn't, but Debra did.
                                                            
                       JASON'S MOTHER
Yeah. She had some big nipples.
About the size of a quarter.
                                                            
                       JASON
That's it. I gotta get out of
here.
                                                            
Jason heads toward the door.
                                                            
                       DEREK
Where are you going?
                                                            
                       JASON
To the bar.
                                                            
Jason walks out of the room.
                                                            
                       JENNIFER
Is he mad?
                                                            
                       DEREK
Just a little, but he'll be fine
once he see the tape.
                                                            
Jason returns and stops in the doorway. He is wearing his
coat and has his keys in his hand.
                                                            
                       DEREK
And Derek
                                                            
                       DEREK

                       JASON
And
                                                            
                       DEREK
And make you a copy of the tape.
                                                            

93.

                       JASON
And
                                                            
                       DEREK
And make sure your parents are not
on the tape.
                                                            
 
INT. AT A BAR - NIGHT
                                                            
Jason is sitting at the bar. He is drinking beer and
watching tv. Then, Melissa walks into the bar. She walks
up to Jason.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
I call your place and Derek said
you would be here.(no response
from Jason). Can I talk to you a
second
                                                            
                       JASON
Fine, but you got to drink
something. I don't want people to
thing I have a drinking prolbem.
                                                            
Melissa sits down beside Jason.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
Bartender I would like a
                                                            
                       JASON
A Long Island Ice Tea.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
I'm surprised that you
rememebered.
                                                            
                       JASON
I filled with surprises. So what
do you want to talk about.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
Actually, I have something to give
you.
                                                            

94.

                       JASON
After three weeks, what in the
world do you have to give me?
                                                            
Melissa reaches into her coat pocket and pulls out a key, a
friendship ring, and a small piece of paper. The piece of
paper has a number and a name on it.
                                                            
                       JASON
This is the friendship ring I got
for you. Do you remember when I
gave it to you? It was a rainy
night at my place. We were
sitting in front of the fireplace
and sipping on some wine.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
How could I forget. You wasted
wine all over my shirt.
                                                            
                       JASON
I had to find some way to get up
out of your clothes.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
And the next morning I woke up
with the ring on my finger and
breakfast in bed. That was one of
the best nights of my life.
                                                            
                       JASON
Better than that karakoe night
with my parents?
                                                            
                       MELISSA
Oh. I almost forgot that night.
That was the funniest night of my
life. Speaking of which, where's
your parents. I heard they were
in town.
                                                            
                       JASON
They're back at me place with
everybody else making porn.
                                                            

95.

                       MELISSA
What?
                                                            
                       JASON
Yeah. When me and my parents got
back to my place after dinner. I
found Jennifer in bed with Desiree
and Tierra together with Derek
filming the whole thing.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
Oh, that's must be rough to see
your bride to be in bed with
someone else.
                                                            
                       JASON
To be honest, it really didn't
bother me as much as I thought it
would. I mean its not like I love
her or anything. Its not like
she's (looks at Melissa).
                                                            
                       MELISSA
I know. I still love you, too.
                                                            
                       JASON
You know sometimes, I find myself
just missing you. Weren't we good
together?
                                                            
                       MELISSA
Yeah we were.
                                                            
                       JASON
What went wrong?
                                                            
Melissa points to the pice of paper with the number on it.
Jason picks up the piece of paper. Jason reads it.
                                                            
                       JASON
Where did you get this from. I've
been looking for this.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
Why? So you can call her.
                                                            

96.

                       JASON
Yeah. I really need to talk to
her.
                                                            
Melissa looks at her watch.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
Its getting late. I have to be
going.
                                                            
Melissa gets up from the bar stool and heads for the exit.
                                                            
                       JASON
Wait. Don't you want to know
whose number it is?
                                                            
Melissa stops walking and turns around.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
I know whose number it is. I
called the number and some girl
named Jessica answered the phone.
And I told that bitch to kiss my
ass. Now, I guess you want me to
be friends with the girl cheated
on me with. Stand here until I
do.
                                                            
Melissa starts back walking towards the exit.
                                                            
                       JASON
Wait. I didn't sleep with her.
                                                            
Melissa stops walking and turns around.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
What?
                                                            
Jason starts to walker closer and closer to Melissa unti lhe
is standing right in front of her. As he walking towards
her, he is talking to her.
                                                            
                       JASON
I couldn't sleep with Jessica. I
know this is hard for you to
believe. But I didn't for two
            (MORE)

97.

                       JASON (cont'd)
reasons. The first one being that
she 's my cousin. You know the
one that introduce me to you.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
No wonder she wouldn't speak to me
at the mall. You said you had two
reasons. What was the other one?
                                                            
                       JASON
That I love you.
                                                            
Jason lends forward and kisses Melissa. Melissa pulls away
from Jason.
                                                            
                       JASON
What's wrong?
                                                            
                       MELISSA
I can't do this.
                                                            
                       JASON
Why not?
                                                            
                       MELISSA
Because you are about to get
married. And I'm seeing someone
else.
                                                            
                       JASON
Who?
                                                            
                       MELISSA
It doesn't matter who.
                                                            
                       JASON
Who?
                                                            
                       MELISSA
Ed Stevenson
                                                            
                       JASON
The guy you were dating before me?
The one you found wearing your
bra and panties?
                                                            

98.

                       MELISSA
He doesn't do that anymore.
                                                            
                       JASON
Didn't you catch him in bed with
another man?
                                                            
                       MELISSA
He was experiementing. Everyone
experiments in college.
                                                            
                       JASON
He was twenty-eight.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
That's besides the point.
                                                            
                       JASON
What's the point then?
                                                            
                       MELISSA
Look, its getting late and I
really gotta be going.
                                                            
Melissa starts to head for the exit.
                                                            
                       JASON
At least stop by and say hello to
my parents. They would love to
see you. Please.
                                                            
Melissa stops walking.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
Fine, but I can only stay a few
minutes.
                                                            
                       JASON
OK. Just let me get my jacket.
                                                            
Jason goes back to the bar and pays the bartender. He grabs
his jacket and other belongings and head back to Melissa.
They exit the bar.

INT. JASON'S AND DERK'S APARTMENT - NIGHT
                                                            
Jason and Melissa returns back to Jason's place. Jason
unlocks the door and they both walks in the aparment.
Jason's father is streaking across the living room butt
naked. Everyone is playing naked twister.
                                                            
                       JASON
What in the hell is going in here?
                                                            
                       DEREK
Jason, your parents are cool as
hell. I wish my parents were like
this.
                                                            
                       JASON
Me too. So, I could see your mom
naked tits bouncing in the air.
You still haven't told me why are
everybody naked in the living
room?
                                                            
                       JASON'S FATHER
We're playing naked twister.
                                                            
                       DEREK
After making the tape, we couldn't
decide what else to do. So, your
parents thought we should play
naked twister.
                                                            
                       JASON
You ever thought about going out
to the movies?
                                                            
                       DEREK
Then, we would have to get dress.
And you don't tell naked women to
get dress. That's just not
natural.
                                                            
                       TIERRA
That's right. Women don't even
tell other women to put their
clothes back on.
                                                            

100.

                       JASON'S MOTHER
Do you want to play?
                                                            
                       JASON
No. What the hell wrong with you
people? Running around here like
a bunch ofr freaks fresh out of
jail.
                                                            
                       JASON'S MOTHER
Hello Melissa. How have you been?
                                                            
                       MELISSA
I'm doing ok, Mrs. Starks.
                                                            
                       JASON'S MOTHER
That's good. How's your mother
doing? I heard she was a little
sick.
                                                            
                       JASON'S FATHER
Melissa, do you want to join us?
                                                            
                       MELISSA
No thank you Mr. Starks. My
mother is doing better. Thanks
for asking.
                                                            
                       JASON'S FATHER
Come on. I would love to see that
nice little ass of yours.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
Really. That's ok. I'm just
gonna sit here and watch ya'll
have all the fun.
                                                            
                       JASON'S FATHER
So you one of those people who
like to watch?
                                                            
                       JASON
Dad, could you stop with the
questions. And could you and mom
put some clothes on?
                                                            

101.

                       MELISSA
Why don't you leave your parents
alone?
                                                            
                       JASON
Why? Pretty soon they gonna have
Playboy's bunnies coming out
bedroom.
                                                            
Two guys walk out of Jason's bedroom.
                                                            
                       JASON
Who the hell are they? And why in
the hell are they doing in my
room?
                                                            
                       JASON'S FATHER
That's James, the pizza delivery
guy. And that's Steve, one of
your new neighbors.
                                                            
                       JASON
A pizza delivery guy and a pool
guy. The pizza guy I might be
able to understand, but a pool
guy?We don't have a pool. That
still don't explain why they were
coming in my room?
                                                            
                       JASON'S MOTHER
They are a little shy to undress
in front of us. So, I told them
they could change in your room.
                                                            
                       JASON
They are willing to walk around
here in there boxers, but are to
shy to change in front of you?
                                                            
                       JASON'S MOTHER
Why don't you drink some warm
milk. It will calm down your
nerves.
                                                            

102.

                       JASON
I dont' want no milk. I want to
get some sleep. And I know that a
room full of freaks are gonna make
a lot of noise.
                                                            
                       DEREK
It ain't my fault that I'm a
screamer.
                                                            
                       JASON'S FATHER
Jason if it'll make you feel
better, you can take our room at
the hotel and we can stay here.
                                                            
                       JASON
Were's the key?
                                                            
                       JASON'S MOTHER
In my the side pocket of my purse.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
If you want, you could stay at my
place for the night.
                                                            
                       JASON
Really? Has seening all these
naked people got you hot?
                                                            
                       MELISSA
No. I'm just saying you can sleep
on my sofa instead of going to the
hotel.
                                                            
                       JASON
Sure, that'll be cool. Let me get
a change of clothes.
                                                            
Jason walks into the his bedroom, to get some clothes.

                       JASON (cont'd)
Unless they're bringing some
wings. Then, I can stay for that.
                                                            
                       DEREK
They're not coming. They're going
to some other party.
                                                            
                       JASON
Let's go then.
                                                            
Jason opens the door and four male strippers walk into the
apartment. They are carrying a radio. MUSIC IS PLAYING.
They start dancing in the middle of the living room. They
ladies start dancing with the male strippers.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
Maybe we should stay.
                                                            
Six female strippers walk into the apartment.
                                                            
                       JASON
Maybe we should.
                                                            
Jason's mother is dancing with a male stripper. She is
behind him. Jason's father is dancing with a female
stripper. He is dancing behind her.
                                                            
                       JASON'S MOTHER
Shake it fast. Show me what you

                       JASON'S FATHER
Back that thing up. That's it.
Don't stop, get it, get it.
                                                            
                       JASON
I think I just changed my mind.

                       MELISSA

                       MELISSA
      (VO)
Would it bother you if I came out
there in my pajamas?
                                                            
                       JASON
Nawh. Why would it bother me?
                                                            
                       MELISSA
      (VO)
I don't know. I didn't want you
to feel uncomfortable.
                                                            
                       JASON
I'll be ok. AS long as you don't
try to feel on my butt.
                                                            
Melissa walks into the kitchen. Jason does not see Melissa
walk into the kitchen. Jason is focused on the television.
Yet, he's trying to talk to Melissa at the same time.
                                                            

105.

                       MELISSA
      (VO)
Do you want something to drink?

                       MELISSA

                       MELISSA
      (VO)
Do you want a lot of ice?
                                                            
                       JASON
Not that much. I don't really
need ice in here. Its cold enough
to freeze meat.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
      (VO)
What?
                                                            
                       JASON

                       MELISSA
      (VO)
Ok. You know I'm glad that we had
that talk at the bar tonight.
                                                            
Melissa walks into the living room with two glasses of soda.
                                                            
                       JASON
Me too.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
Here's your drink.
                                                            
Jason is stunned by how sexy Melissa looks in her pajamas.
She is standing there with her hair down. She is wearing a
t-shirt and shorts for pajamas.
                                                            

106.

                       MELISSA
What's wrong?
                                                            
Melissa hands Jason the glass of soda. Jason takes the
glass of soda.
                                                            
                       JASON
Nothing. Everything's fine.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
Then why are you still wearing
your jacket?
                                                            
                       JASON
Its a little cold in here.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
Why didn't you say so? I'll go
turn the air down a little.
                                                            
Melissa goes to turn the heat up. Jason is sitting on the
sofa. He finishes his drink. He places the glass on the
coffee table.
                                                            
                       JASON
Thanks for letting me spend the
night here.
                                                            
A blanket is thrown and it hits Jason.
                                                            
                       JASON
What was that for?
                                                            
Melissa returns to the sofa. She is carrying a pillow. She
hands the pillow to Jason. Jason places the pillow beside
him.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
You'll need that for tonight.
                                                            
Jason takes off his jacket. He spreads the blanket over
himself. Melissa sits her drink on the coffee table. She
slides under the blanket and cuddles up next to Jason. Jason
looks at her. She looks at Jason.
                                                            

107.

                       MELISSA
What?
                                                            
                       JASON
Nothing.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
Are we gonna watch Sportscenter
all night long?
                                                            
                       JASON
Sorry. What do you wannna watch?
                                                            
                       MELISSA
I don't know, but I don't wanna
watch sports. Why don't you go
through the channels. I'll tell
you when to stop.
                                                            
Jason starts channel surfing; only changing channels when
Melissa wants him to stop.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
Keep going. Keep going. Wait, I
've already seen that. Keep
going.
                                                            
                       JASON
Do you want the remote?
                                                            
                       MELISSA
That's ok. You're doing a good
job.
                                                            
Jason starts back channel surfing.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
Keep going. Keep going. Wait.
Right there. Do you remember this
movie?
                                                            
                       JASON
Saved the Last Dance. Its about a
girl falling for this guy and
trying to pursue her dreams of
becoming a dancer.
                                                            

108.

Melissa gives Jason a look of saying that he's wrong.
                                                            
                       JASON
It isn't. Then, its about a girl
running away from home because her
parents are getting a divorce.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
No. This "Dirty Dancing". It was
the first movie we saw together.
                                                            
Jason has a "I don't remember" look on his face.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
We watch it when you came over to
visit Jessica when we were
roommates.
                                                            
                       JASON
I knew that. I was just seeing if
you rememerbed that was I first
movie.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
I think you're lying.
                                                            
                       JASON
What reason would I have to lie?
                                                            
                       MELISSA
I dont' know, but I'm gonna make
you admit that you're lying.
                                                            
                       JASON
How are you gonna do that?
                                                            
Melissa starts tickling Jason. Jason is laughing and trying
to get Melissa to stop tickling him.
                                                            
                       JASON
Stop. Stop. Ok. Ok. You win. I
was lying. I didn't remember.
                                                            
Melissa stops tickling Jason and pulls away from him.
                                                            

109.

                       MELISSA
I thought so.
                                                            
                       JASON
You think that's so funny, don't
you? How would you like it if
tickled you?
                                                            
Jason grabs Melissa and pulls her into his lap. Jason
starts tickling Melissa. Then, Jason stops tickling
Melissa. She's still laying with he head in his lap. Their
faces start moving closer and closer.
                                                            
                       JASON
Now, you see how it feels.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
Yeah. I guess I do.
                                                            
They are about to kiss each other. THE MICROWAVE GOES OFF.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
Popcorn. The popcorn is ready.
I'll go get it.
                                                            
Melissa gets up from the sofa and heads into the kitchen.
The camera follows Melissa into the kitchen. Melissa gets
into the kitchen. She looks in the cabinet for a bowl. She
finds a bowl for the popcorn. She places the bowl right
beside the microwave. She opens the microwave door and to
get the popcorn out. The popcorn is really hot. She grab
the popcorn by the corners of the bag.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
Hot. Hot. Hot.
                                                            
Melissa drops the bag of popcorn into the bowl. SHe opens
the bag of popcorn and pours it into thee bowl.She grabs the
salt shaker and sprinkle a little salt over the popcorn.
Melissa puts the salt shaker down.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
I didn't put that much salt on the
popcorn cause I know how don't
like all that salt.
                                                            

110.

Melissa starts to head back to the sofa.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
And I don't want to hear you
complain about a lot salt on the
popcorn.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
      (in a mocking
       voice of Jason)
You know I don't like all that
salt on my food. You know its not
good for my blood pressure.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
Do you want anything else to
drink?
                                                            
Melissa returns to the sofa. She find Jason asleep on the
sofa; he's in a sitting formation. Jason's head is resting
on the pillow. He has cover himself with the blanket.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
      (jokingly)
You could never stay up. That's
was the problem with our sex life.
                                                            
Melissa sits the popcorn on the coffee table. She sits on
the coffet able also. She removes Jason's shoes from his
feet. She smells Jason's shoes. His shoes smells really
bad. Melissa gets up and goes to get some air fresher and
sprays his shoes. She struggles to lifts his leg up to the
sofa. She is trying to keep from waking up Jason. She
sprays Jason's feet with the air fresher. She spreads the
blanket over his body. Jason adjust himself in his sleep.
She stands over Jason and looks at him for a minute. Then,
she goes to get her purse. She gets some makeup out of her
pocketbook. Melissa sits back down on the coffee table. She
starts putting makeup on Jason's face. She is trying her
best not to laugh.
                                                            
                       JASON
      (in a mumbling
       voice)
Melissa, I love you.
                                                            

111.

                       MELISSA
I love you, too.
                                                            
Melissa lends forward and places a kiss on Jason's cheek.
She stands up.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
I hope that kiss don't make me the
other woman.
                                                            
Melissa walks to the light switch. She turns off the light.
Melissa heads to bed.
                                                            
The next morning, Melissa wakes up. She gets out of bed.
She goes into the kitchen and starts fixing a cup of coffee.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
Do you want any coffee?
                                                            
Melissa walks into the living room. She sees that Jason is
gone. The blanket is neatly folded on the sofa with the
pillow on top of it. A note is on top of the pillow.
Melissa picks up the note and read it.
                                                            
                       JASON
      (VO)
Thanks again for letting me spend
the night. My parents are flying
to LA this morning. And I promise
them I would see them off at the
airport. Talk to you later.
                                                            
Melissa finishes reading the note and starts to head back
into the kitchen. She then realizes that she left the
makeup on Jason's face.
                                                            
 

112.

INT. AIRPORT - DAY
                                                            
Jason walks into the airport. He is walking though the
airport. He suddenly realizes that he has to use the
bathroom. Jason finds a bathroom. Jason goes into the
bathroom and finds an urinal and uses it. A man comes into
the bathroom. The man has to use the bathroom really bad.
The man starts to make small talk with Jason while they are
using the bathroom. Jason and the man does not make eye
contact.
                                                            
                       MAN
Man, flying really makes me
nervous.
                                                            
                       MAN
Same here.
                                                            
                       MAN
Just got in from LA.
                                                            
The man looks at Jason.
                                                            
                       MAN
Where are you headed?
                                                            
                       JASON
I'm here to see my parents off
                                                            
Jason looks at the man.
                                                            
                       JASON
      (con't)
before they go to LA
                                                            
The man looks at Jason's face and gets nervous. The man is
so nervous that he uses the bathroom on his clothes. He
hurries to get out of the bathroom; he accidently zips
himself in the zipper. Jason steps toward the man.
                                                            
                       JASON
Are you alright?
                                                            
The man steps back away from Jason.
                                                            

113.

                       MAN
Ok. I'm fine. You just stay right
there.
                                                            
The man rushes to the bathroom door. He opens the door. He
looks at the sign on the door. Then, he looks at Jason. The
man runs out of the bathroom. After the man leaves, Jason
just shrugs off what just happen. Jason washes his hands
and heads out of the bathroom. Jason walks until he finds
someone that works at the airport.
                                                            
                       JASON
Excuse me, but could you tell me
where gate 58 is at?
                                                            
                       WOMAN #1
Sure.
                                                            
The woman points out the directions for Jason.
                                                            
                       WOMAN #1
      (con't)
Just keep straight and you'll see
it once you pass the third set of
chairs.
                                                            
                       JASON
Thank you.
                                                            
Jason turns to walk away.
                                                            
                       WOMAN #1
Excuse me
                                                            
Jason turns around to the woman.
                                                            
                       WOMAN #1
      (cont'd)
but your skin looks so smooth. How
do you get your skin like that?
                                                            
                       JASON
Why thank you. I use cocoa butter
lotion every morning.
                                                            

114.

Jason heads out as he was directed. As he is walking,
people are complimenting him. With each comment from a
woman, Jason gets a proud look on his face and starts
strutting down the walkway. When a man gives him a
compliment, he gets a feeling of uneasiness.
                                                            
                       WOMAN #1
Looking good.
                                                            
                       MAN
Sweet sexy thang you.
                                                            
                       WOMAN #1
You gots to be a model.
                                                            
                       MAN
I'm not afraid to say that you
look good. Really good.
                                                            
Jason finds his parents at the gate. He walks up to them.
He gives them each a hug, but his parents are reluctant to
give Jason a hug in return.
                                                            
                       JASON
Good morning.
                                                            
                       JASON'S MOTHER
Good morning. What are you doing?
                                                            
                       JASON
Seeing you off at the airport.
                                                            
                       JASON'S FATHER
Are you auditioning for the remake
of Tootsie? Are you. Are you
gay?
                                                            
                       JASON
What? No. I'm not gay.
                                                            
                       JASON'S MOTHER
Are you some sort of drag queen. I
mean its ok. We'll still love you
the same.
                                                            

115.

                       JASON
What in the world are you talking
about?
                                                            
The mother pulls out a mirror from her purse. She gives the
mirror to Jason. Jason looks at himself in the mirror. He
gives the mirror back to his mother. He gives mother a hug
and kiss on the cheek. Then, he tries to give his father a
hug, but the father refuses to take a hug. Instead, the
father offers Jason a handshake. They shake hands.
                                                            
                       JASON
Give me a call when you get to LA.
                                                            
Jason heads toward the exit.
                                                            
                       JASON'S MOTHER
      (yelling)
Its ok. We still love you.
                                                            
                       JASON'S FATHER
      (yelling)
Yeah. Don't worry. Your
grandfather's brother love
dressing like a woman too. Its
not your fault. Its genetics.
                                                            
                       JASON'S FATHER
I told you we should have got him
porn for his sixteen birthday. No.
You wanted to get him a Barbie
doll.
                                                            
                       JASON'S MOTHER
It wasn't barbie. It was a
military ken. And it's a
collector's item.
                                                            
 
INT. MELISSA'S APARTMENT - DAY
                                                            
THERE IS A KNOCK AT MELLISA'S DOOR. Melissa is coming from
her bedroom. She is coming to the door fully dressed. She
is making her way to the door.
                                                            

116.

                       MELISSA
I'm coming. Wait one minute.
                                                            
THERE IS KNOCKING AT THE DOOR AGAIN.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
I'm coming. Hold your horses.
                                                            
Melissa gets to the door and opens it.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
I said I was coming.
                                                            
Melissa sees that it is Jason at the door. Jason still have
the makeup on his face. He starts walking into the
apartment. Melissa is backing up from him. When she is
backing up, she is trying to keep from laughing at Jason.
She is walking backward around the sofa. Jason is following
her.
                                                            
                       JASON
You did this. You put makeup on
my face and let me walk out of
here like this.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
Calm down.
                                                            
                       JASON
I can't calm down when I got all
this crap on my face.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
But you look so good with it on. I
mean that foundation does wonders
for your cheek bones.
                                                            
                       JASON
Really? I thought so. Hold up.
That's beside the point. I want
this stuff off my face.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
Fine. Sit down and I'll go get
some makeup remover.
                                                            

117.

Jason sits down on the sofa. Melissa goes into the
bathroom.
                                                            
                       JASON
You know my parents saw me like
this.
                                                            
MELISSA LAUGHS while she is in the bathroom.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
      (VO)
What did they say about your new
look?
                                                            
Melissa walks into the living room.
                                                            
                       JASON
My dad thought I was trying to be
the next family drag queen.
                                                            
Melissa sits down on the coffee table. She starts removing
the makeup off Jason's face.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
What did your mom say?
                                                            
                       JASON
You know the usual.
                                                            
Jason speaks ina mocking voice of his mother.
                                                            
                       JASON
      (cont'd)
Its ok. We still love you.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
      (trying not to
       laugh)
I wish I could have been there to
see the look on their faces.
                                                            
                       JASON
Can I ask you something?
                                                            

118.

                       MELISSA
You can ask me anything you want.
You know that. But it don't mean
I'm gonna answer your question.
                                                            
                       JASON
Do you have any plans for tonight?
                                                            
                       MELISSA
Yeah. Me, Ed, and some of his
friends suppose to go to the Bulls
game tonight. Then, we'll
probably go out to a bar or club.
Why?
                                                            
                       JASON
We're going to the game too. Maybe
you and Ed would like to get a
bite with us after the game.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
Maybe. Who's going to the game
with you?
                                                            
                       JASON
Just Derek, Tierra, and Desiree.
Why is that a problem?
                                                            
                       MELISSA
That's not a problem. You can
hang out with anyone you want.
                                                            
                       JASON
Ok then. Maybe you and Ed would
like to hang out with us.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
I don't thing so. I mean it would
really be uncomfortable for
everybody.
                                                            
                       JASON
I don't it will be. I think it
                                                            

119.

                       MELISSA
      (interrupting)
I don't think so. It just
wouldn't feel right.
                                                            
                       JASON
Why? We both have moved on.
Haven't we?
                                                            
                       MELISSA
      (avoiding the
       question)
There you're done.
                                                            
                       JASON
Ok. Let me see a mirror? Why are
you avoiding my question?
                                                            
Melissa hands Jason the compact. He looks at himself in the
mirror.
                                                            
                       JASON
You didn't get it all off.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
Where?
                                                            
                       JASON
Right below my right eye.
                                                            
Melissa looks close at Jason's face. She sees the makeup
near the eye. She wipes the makeup off. She stares in
Jason's eyes
                                                            
                       MELISSA
You have beautiful eyes.
                                                            
Melissa caress Jason's cheek with the back of her hand. She
leans forward to kiss him. Jason leans forward to kiss
Melissa. THERE IS A KNOCK AT THE DOOR.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
I gotta get that.
                                                            

120.

                       JASON
No, you don't. Look, I still care
for you. And I don't want to see
you with anyone else. And I know
that you still care for me. Its
not to late for us.
                                                            
                       ED
      (VO)
Melissa. Are you in there?
                                                            
                       MELISSA
Wait a minute. I'll be right
there.
                                                            
Melissa gets up to get the door. Jason grabs her by the
arm.
                                                            
                       JASON
Is it too late for us?
                                                            
                       MELISSA
Yes. Its too late for us.
                                                            
Melissa removes Jason's hand off her arm. Melissa walks to
the door. She opens the door. Ed is there.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
Ed, what are you doing here?
                                                            
                       ED
I thought we could go out for
brunch and talks about somethings.
Unless you're busy.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
No not really. Why don't you
come in, while I get my jacket.
                                                            
Ed walks into Melissa's apartment. He sees Jason is there.
                                                            
                       JASON
Hello Ed.
                                                            
                       ED
Jason. What are you doing here?
                                                            

121.

                       MELISSA
He came to pick up some of his
things.(to Jason) Shouldn't you
be going now.
                                                            
                       JASON
No.
                                                            
                       ED
Shouldn't you be picking out china
patterns with your internet
hooker.
                                                            
Jason is upset by the comment of Ed and goes toward him
angerily. Melissa jumps in between Ed and Jason.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
Jason, could you please leave?
                                                            
                       JASON
I don't think you really want
that.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
Oh really. Then, tell me what I
want.
                                                            
                       JASON
I think you just want a threesome.
                                                            
Jason smiles at Melissa. Then, he heads for the door and
leaves the apartment.

                       JASON
They're right there, sitting on
the bench.
                                                            
                       DESIREE
Why are they sitting on the bench.
They are what you call
superstars. Right?
                                                            
                       JASON

                       JASON

Derek interrupts Jason by tapping him with his elbow.
                                                            
                       JASON
What?
                                                            
                       DEREK
Look up.
                                                            
Jason looks up at the scoreboard. The scoreboard is
flashing "Melissa Walker will you marry me, Ed Stevenson."
The message is repeatly flashed on the scoreboard. Desiree
and Tierra are unaware of the message on the scoreboard.
Jason is getting upset over the message.
                                                            
                       DESIREE
Is there anything wrong?
                                                            
                       JASON
No. Everything is perfect.
                                                            
Derek leans over to Jason.
                                                            
                       DEREK
Look, it might not even be her.
And if it is her, she won't marry
Ed. She don't love him. She
loves you.
                                                            
Melissa walks over to where Jason, Derek, Tierra, and
Desiree are sitting.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
Hey. Can I talk to you for a
minute?
                                                            
Jason looks up at Melissa. When he looks up at Melissa,
jason sees the scoreboard. The scoreboard reads "Yes, Ed. I
will marry you, Melissa." Melissa turns around to see what
Jason is looking at.
                                                            
                       MAN
      (VO)
We would like to congratulate
Melissa Walker and Ed Stevenson,
as they prepare to send the rest
of their lives in holy matromony.
                                                            

124.

Jason gets out of his and stands in the aisle; looking
directly at Melissa.
                                                            
                       JASON
There's nothing else to say.
                                                            
Jason leaves. Melissa follows after him.
                                                            
                       DESIREE
Wher's Jason going?
                                                            
                       DEREK
I don't really know. But I hope
he knows he drove us here.
                                                            
Jason storms out of the United Center. He's outside hailing
a cab. He opens the cab door. Melissa catches up with
Jason.
                                                            
                       MELISSA

Jason goes to the bar and sits down.
                                                            
                       MAN
What would like?
                                                            
                       JASON
Give me a beer and a double shot
of the strongest drink you got.
                                                            
The bartender goes and fixes Jason's drinks. He brings the
drinks to Jason. Jason drinks the double shot first. Then,
he quickly drinks the beer. Jason finishes his beer.
                                                            
                       JASON
Can I get another beer?
                                                            
The old man walks to the bar. He sits near Jason.
                                                            
                       OLD MAN
Can I get a beer?
                                                            
The bartender returns with two beers. He gives one to Jason
and the other one to the old man. Jason and the old man
sipps on their beer as they converse with each other.
                                                            
                       OLD MAN
How's it going? I guess you don't
feel like talking. That's ok,
I'll do all the talking. You know
we stay in the same apartment
building. Aren't you one of those
guys that bought the brides. You
should be with spending time with
her; instead if sitting alone in a
bar. I know I would. Ain't
nothing like spending time with a
beautiful woman.
                                                            
                       JASON
What about being with a woman you
love?
                                                            

126.

                       OLD MAN
I guess you're right. But there's
nothing more beautiful than a
woman that loves you and you loves
her.
                                                            
                       JASON
So you have been in love before?
                                                            
                       OLD MAN
I've experience love, but I'm not
an expert on it.
                                                            
The old man pull out his wallet. he looks in his wallet and
pulls out a photo. It's a black and white picture of a
young lady.
                                                            
                       JASON
Who's was that?
                                                            
                       OLD MAN
That was my last true love. They
say you will find true love only
twice in your lifetime. The first
time you find love, you're
probably too young to realize it.
And the second time, you just hope
that you're wise enough to keep
it. Cause sometimes you either
let it go or don't hold on to it.
                                                            
                       JASON
Isn't letting go and not holding
on the same thing?
                                                            
                       OLD MAN
Almost.
                                                            
                       JASON
What's the difference?
                                                            
                       OLD MAN
When you let love go, you don't
try to keep it. You see some
people don't want to be love.
They'll do whatever it takes to
            (MORE)

127.

                       OLD MAN (cont'd)
get rid of love; anything from
sleeping around to simply ignoring
love.
                                                            
                       JASON
What about not holding on?
                                                            
                       OLD MAN
Ok, that's simple. When a person
don't hold on, they simply cannot
handle love. Love is just to much
for them. The pressure of love
cause them to crumble. Being in
love is not as easy as it appears
on tv, you got to work at it. Its
just a matter of how bad you want
to hold on to it. Do you
understand what I'm saying?
                                                            
                       JASON
Yeah. Can I ask you something.
What ever happen with you and the
lady in the picture?
                                                            
                       OLD MAN
I couldn't handle the roller
coaster. Love was too much for me
to hold on to.
                                                            
                       JASON
Whatever happen to her?
                                                            
                       OLD MAN
She was doing well the last time I
heard. The last time I saw her
she married with children and
living in the White House.
                                                            
                       JASON
You were in love with a
President's wife?
                                                            
                       OLD MAN
That's not important. What's
important is that you don't make
the same mistake I did.
                                                            

128.

The old man looks at his watch.
                                                            
                       OLD MAN
      (cont'd)
I got to be going.
                                                            
The old man gets up from his seat. he reaches in his pocket
and pulls out money to pay for his beer.
                                                            
                       JASON
Put your money away. this round
on me.
                                                            
                       OLD MAN
Thank you.
                                                            
                       JASON
Thanks for the advice
                                                            
The old man leaves and Jason is left sitting alone at the
bar.
                                                            
                       JASON
      (cont'd)
It just might be too late.

                       JASON
What is it?
                                                            
                       TIERRA
Well, we both have something to
tell the both of you. You know
the thirty day trial period is
almost up. And we know you must
decide whether or not you want to
marry us. But, we would like to
express our feelings on the
matter. Derek you're a great guy
and any woman would be lucky to
have you. Well, almost every
woman. Derek, I wish not to marry
you because I'm gay. I know that
it may not have any barring on
your decision, but I feel you
should marry someone who at least
loves you and finds you
attractive.
                                                            
                       DEREK
I understand completely. In fact,
I wanted to talk to you about
that. I don't think I want to
marry you either. I think I have
found the woman meant for me.
                                                            
                       JASON
Who?
                                                            
                       DEREK
Ash. We been getting to know each
other. And I think she might be
the one for me.
                                                            
                       DESIREE
And Jason. We have a lot of
things in common. We both like
sports, classic movies, and video

130.

                       DESIREE (cont'd)
games. Also, we're both in love.
It just so happen that we're not
in love with each other. For the
past week, you been ignoring me;
allowing me time to find the man I
was meant to spend the rest of my
life with.
                                                            
                       JASON
Who?
                                                            
                       DESIREE
Honey, could you come here.
                                                            
The old man walks out of Desiree's bedroom.
                                                            
                       DESIREE
I hope that this is ok.
                                                            
                       JASON
I'm ok with it. I hope that the
two of you can just hold on to
your love.
                                                            
                       DESIREE
Well, we'll let you three get back
to your game.
                                                            
Tierra, Desiree, and the old man heads back into Desiree's
bedroom.
                                                            
                       JASON

Desiree got the old man. Even
Tierra got another woman. Who do

                       DEREK

Why are Derek's lips so swollen?
                                                            
                       JASON
I gotta take Derek to the
hospital. He tried to brush his
teeth with Preparation H.
                                                            
                       ASH
What about Melissa. And the
wedding?
                                                            

134.

                       JASON
I don't know. I guess I can call
her tonight or tomorrow.
                                                            
                       ASH
I can take Derek to the hospital.
While you go tell Melissa how you
feel before its too late.
                                                            
Jason agrees with Jennifer's idea. They leave the
apartment.
                                                            
 
INT. WEDDING - DAY
                                                            
The church is filled with people. The bride and groom is
standing front of the priest. The wedding is going as plan.
Jason walks in looking for Melissa. He searches through
the church and askes people have then seen her. The people
simply frown at and turn their noses at him and walk away.
HERE COMES THE BRIDE STARTS PLAYING. Jason hears the music
he rushes to the doors of the church. A few women tries to
stop him, but he gets passed them. By the time Jason burst
into the church, Melissa and Ed are exchanging vows.
                                                            
                       PRIEST
Do you Ed Stevenson take this
woman to be your lawfully wedded
wife, to love and obey in sickness
and health til death do you apart?
                                                            
                       ED
I do.
                                                            
                       PRIEST
Do you Melissa Walker take this
man to be your lawfully wedded
husband, to love and obey in
sickness and health till death do
you apart?
                                                            
He runs up the aisleway. Someone from Ed's family trips him
as he run up the aisle way. Jason looks to see who it was.
It was a very old lady who tripped him. Jason gets up and
goes to Melissa. He breathing heavily when he gets up there.
                                                            

135.

                       JASON
Wait. Melissa you can't marry
this man.
                                                            
                       PRIEST
Sir. We haven't gotten to that
part yet.
                                                            
                       JASON
Sorry.
                                                            
Jason takes a step back.
                                                            
                       PRIEST
Now. Do you Melissa Walker take
this man to be your lawfully wed
husband to love and obey in
sickness and health till death do
you apart?
                                                            
                       MELISSA2
Yes.
                                                            
                       PRIEST
Now. Is there anyone who thinks
that this couple shouldn't be
together? Speak now or forever
hold your peace. Sir. Sir. Now
you may speak.
                                                            
                       JASON
Oh, Yeah. Melissa I know we had
our problems for the last month.
But I think we can work through
them. I know you really don't
want to marry this man. He's not
good enough for you. (looks at Ed)
Sorry, but you're not. He will
not and cannot love you like the
way I will.
                                                            
Melissa tries to talk but she's interrupted by Jason.
                                                            
                       JASON
      (cont'd)
I know what you're thinking. What
            (MORE)

136.

                       JASON (cont'd)
about Desiree? I don't love
Desiree. I love you and only you.
Besides, she's gonna be with the
old man that stays in my building.
But that besides the point. The
point is that it doesn't matter
where or when you find love.
                                                            
                       MAN
      (holding another
       man's hand)
Yeah. We found love in prison.
                                                            
                       JASON
The only thing that matter that
you realize that love and try your
best to hold on to that love. I
love you more than anything in
this world. I can give you the
love you need and deserves. And
you know that. Can you say the
same about Ed?
                                                            
Jason lifts the bride's veil up. He realize that she is not
Melissa his ex-girlfriend, but the Melissa he works with.
Jason is feeling a little awkward and embarassed.
                                                            
                       JASON
You're not my Melissa. You're the
Melissa I work with. I guess I
owe everybody here an apology. I'm
sorry for bursting in here. I
guess I better be going.
                                                            
Jason starts to walk away, but he stops when the bride ask
him to wait. After she ask him to wait, Jason turns a look
at her.
                                                            
                       MELISSA2
Wait. Thank you, you're right.
(looks at Ed) I can't marry you.
I don't know if you'll love me
tomorrow or your best man. I saw
you two together in the hot tub.
                                                            
A woman stands up.
                                                            

137.

                       WOMAN #1
I knew it.
                                                            
The woman grabs her belonging and leaves out of the church.
                                                            
The best man gives a look to the groom. The bride storms
out of the church. SHe stops midway down the aisle and
grabs a man by the hand. He leaves the church with her.
                                                            
                       JASON
Well, I guess I better get going
too. Unless there's still gonna
be a reception afterwards (Ed
gives Jason an evil look.) Well,
I guess not. So, I'll ya'll
later.
                                                            
Jason walks out of the church. He goes outside and hail and
cab. Jason is about to get into the cab until he hears
Melissa call out for him.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
Wait. Jason. Jason. Wait up. I
love you. And I never stop loving
you.
                                                            
                       JASON
What about Ed?
                                                            
                       MELISSA
There was no me and Ed. Ed could
never love a woman. And I could
never get you out of my mind or my
heart. I just couldn't stand to
see you with someone else. And
when I saw you and Desiree
together I thought you had moved
on.
                                                            

138.

                       JASON
Move on? You're the only one I
want to be with. I spent my whole
life looking for you. And I want
to send the rest of my life being
with you. Why didn't you tell me
sooner about you and Ed not being
together?
                                                            
                       MELISSA
I did. I tried to tell you at the
game, but you ran out before I
could tell you. Promise me that
you'll never leave and that we can
talk out any problem that we have.
                                                            
                       JASON
I promise. (Jason passionately
kisses Melissa)
                                                            
                       MELISSA
I have something to tell you. I'm
sorry for putting piss in your
mouthwash and glue on your toilet
seat and Preparation H in your
toothpaste.
                                                            
                       JASON
That's ok. Actually, you put
Preparation H in your toothpaste
you left over at my place.
Speaking of which, I got to go to
the hospital to check on Derek.
                                                            
                       MELISSA
What's wrong with Derek?
                                                            
                       JASON
He used your that tube of
Preparation H and had an allergic
reaction.
                                                            
They laugh. Then, they get into the cab and drive off.
                                                            


FADE OUT.
