HOW TO BE BECOME A CELEBRITY

FADE IN:

EXT. PHOTO SHOOT - DAY
                                                            
Lisa--27 is posing for the cameras. Her soft face, elegant
curves and nice lips combine to give her the perfect body.
Her hair is moving back and forth as the production team
tries to capture her full beauty with their cameras.
                                                            
                       LISA (V.O.)
I'm Lisa. I'm a 27 year old
confident female. I model and work
to earn my own money. The average
modeling career is over by the age
of 21, but I'm not average. I'm
one of a kind. I'm extraordinary.
                                                            
Lisa turns her sumptuous body around. The CAMERA PUSHES INTO
HER SLOWLY revealing all of Lisa's curves.
                                                            
                       PHOTOGRAPHER #1
Okay now lean to the side.
                                                            
Lisa leans to the side and gives a sexy smile for the
camera.
                                                            
                       LISA (V.O.)
Even though I'm a model now, it
wasn't always that way. In high
school I was classified as a nerd.
                                                            
Flashback:
                                                            
 
EXT. RECESS - DAY
                                                            
The boys are all chasing the girls. Lisa is wearing thick
glasses and a homemade sweater. One of the girls approaches
her.
                                                            
                       KID #1
Lisa come and play. The boys are
chasing us.
                                                            
One of the boys overhears the conversation.
                                                            
                       KID #2
Awe. I'm not going to chase Mother
Goose. She might start quacking at
me.

All the kids laugh at Lisa, and cause her to be humiliated.
                                                            
End flashback
                                                            
 
EXT. PHOTO SHOOT - NIGHT
                                                            
Night is beginning to set in. The light on the set makes it
hard to notice. The photographers are working at a frantic
pace.
                                                            
                       PHOTOGRAPHER #2
You looking good Lisa. A few more
shots and that will be a wrap.
                                                            
Lisa goes in the trailer and comes back out wearing a nice
red two piece. Her natural body makes the swim suit look
better than it really is.
                                                            
                       RACHAEL
Work it girl!
                                                            
Rachael--27 is in the background cheering Lisa on. Lisa is
the only spectator on the set. Rachael is short, somewhat
chubby, and a has a big cheeks.
                                                            
                       LISA
Stop embarrasing me Rachael.
                                                            
                       LISA (V.O.)
She is my best friend Rachael. We
have been best friends every since
dinosaurs were living...Okay maybe
not that long, but you get the
point. One more thing, that dog
that she is holding in her hand is
my baby Snuckles. He's one of the
most important men in my life.
                                                            
Snuckles barks twice.
                                                            
                       RACHAEL
I would kill for looks like yours.
Work it girl!
                                                            
After the photos are over, a tired Lisa goes back in the
trailer and put on her regular clothing. She removes the
rubber-band from her hair causing her hair to hang.
                                                            
                       RACHAEL
I don't know about you, but I'm
hungry. Lets say we go and get a
bite to eat.

                       LISA
Sounds great. I haven't had
anything to eat all day.
                                                            
 
INT. CAFE AND GRILL PLACE - NIGHT
                                                            
Enter the Cafe and Grill place. The cafe is crowded with
customers. The cafe has a friendly atmosphere, a bartender
and a nice menu. The special is listed out in front. Lisa
and Rachael takes the only empty table that is available.
They wait on the waiter. After a short wait, a young
teenager shows up. The teenager has red hair, and is skinny.
First impressions would indicate he has Urkel like
characteristics.
                                                            
                       WAITER
Can I help you?
                                                            
Fantasy Sequence
                                                            
The restaurant is now empty except for the presence of the
waiter and Lisa. Lisa is sitting with her legs crossed. Her
body language is very flirtatious. Lisa's lips are moving
slowly. Soft sexy music can be heard playing in the
background.
                                                            
                       LISA
Um, yes you may darling. Come here
baby you know what I want.
                                                            
Lisa shows her desirable lips, giving the indication she
desires a kiss. The waiter goes directly to her with his
lips leading the way.
                                                            
End Fantasy sequence
                                                            
                       RACHAEL
Awe, Lisa it looks like the
waiter is getting ready to kiss
you.
                                                            
The waiter is almost near Lisa. His lips are still poking
out. Lisa quickly turn away, causing the waiter's lips to
land on her arm.
                                                            
                       LISA
What you're doing, you red haired
creep!
                                                            
Lisa and Rachael attacks the waiter with their purse.
Everyone in the restaurant is watching. After the girls
finished destroying the waiter, The miniature Chihuahua,

Snuckles comes out and bites the waiter on the leg, while he
is trying to leave the scene.
                                                            
                       WAITER
      (fearfully as he
       observes the dog)
Holy crap!
                                                            
The poor humiliated water scrambles back to the kitchen.
Snuckles chases him there. The customers display fear and
laughter as they watch the dog charge across the cafe.
                                                            
                       LISA
I'm never eating here again!
                                                            
Lisa and Rachael exits the restaurant.
                                                            
 
EXT. OUTSIDE OF CAFE AND GRILL - DAY
                                                            
The two women stampede out the cafe angrily.
                                                            
                       LISA
Who Carrot Top think he is? He
lucky I didn't have my bat with me
or I would of broke his face in
half!
                                                            
Two gentleman's prepares to enter the cafe. Larry,31 is a
small business owner. He is clean cut, and his muscles can
clearly be seen through his buttoned up shirt. Steve,29 is a
bit more on the short side. He is bold and has a pale face.
He is also wearing a buttoned up shirt. The guys observes
Lisa, and don't enter the cafe.
                                                            
                       LARRY
Excuse me, I don't mean to intrude
on your conversation, but are you
okay?
                                                            
                       LISA
I'm fine. I'm just a little upset
thats all.
                                                            
                       RACHAEL
Where is Snuckles at Lisa?
                                                            
After Lisa does a quick examination of her purse, Lisa
dashes back into the cafe.
                                                            

5.

                       RACHAEL
Well I guess I'm stuck out here
with two nice built men. Aint I'm
the luckiest lady in the world.
                                                            
Rachael and the guys get acquainted.
                                                            
 
EXT. LISA'S APARTMENT COMPLEX - NIGHT
                                                            
High level economy cars are shown in the parking lot. Two
older gentlemen are seen playing chess. The apartments in
the complex looks appealing to the eyes and gives off a warm
feeling .
                                                            
 
INT. LISA'S APT - NIGHT
                                                            
Now we are inside Lisa's apartment. The place is very clean,
except for a few scattered magazines on the coffee table.
The CAMERA ZOOMS in on the wall and we can see photos from
Lisa's previous photo shoots.

Snuckles is parading around the apartment barking. His child
like bed is near the big couch.
                                                            
                       LISA (V.O.)
You have now arrived to my
beautiful apartment. Even though
its more than enough space for
me,it's not quite enough space for
Snuckles.
                                                            
Lisa picks Snuckles and puts him in his bed near the couch.
                                                            
 
INT. LISA'S BEDROOM - DAY
                                                            
The master bed and the waste basket are the two main objects
inside of Lisa's bedroom. Her wall is blank and Snuckles has
destroyed the bottoms of her bed spread.

Lisa cell phone rings as she is in the process of going to
bed.
                                                            
Lisa talks to the audience before looking at the phone.
                                                            
                       LISA (V.O.)
Oops. I forgot to call moms today.
I just know that she is on the
other end and she is probably
upset that I didn't call her all
day. Watch. She's the only person
who can get away with calling me
            (MORE)

6.

                       LISA (cont'd)
this late.
                                                            
Lisa picks up the phone and turns it around for us to see
who is calling. The camera pushes into the phone slowly so
that we can see it reads mom.
                                                            
                       LISA
Hi mom.
                                                            
                       LISA'S MOM
Hi baby, how are you? You didn't
call me all day. You had me
petrified. I just can't sleep
until I'm sure you're safe and
sound.
                                                            
                       LISA
I understand mom and it want
happen again.
                                                            
                       LISA'S MOM
Did you meet anybody interesting
today?
                                                            
                       LISA
No mom. Acourse not.
                                                            
                       LISA'S MOM
You know know I'm really concerned
about you. You are twenty seven
and you are still single. Start
giving some of these men a chance.
You know hun I realize that you
still have this fantasy that you
are going to marry a celebrity and
be a trophy wife, but you might
need to start being more
realistic.
                                                            
Lisa puts the cell phone away from ear.
                                                            
                       LISA (V.O.)
I got a feeling this going to be a
long conversation. I always hate
it when my mom gets involved in my
love life.
                                                            
Lisa leaves her bedroom.

INT. LISA'S BACK PORCH. - NIGHT
                                                            
Lisa sits on the empty chair that is on the back porch. We
can hear the sounds of cars passing by and we can see the
night lights as they light the city up.
                                                            
                       LISA
I do understand mom, but don't
blame me for having standards.
It's like you always said mom, if
you don't stand for something,
then you will fall for anything.
                                                            
                       LISA'S MOM
I know honey. I know. I just don't
want to see you get hurt.
                                                            
Lisa's presence has caused two guys to come out on the
porch. The guys are wearing tank tops and look like they are
older. The guys whisper back and forth to each other, but we
can't hear them.
                                                            
                       LISA'S MOM
Did you know that your little
cousin April just got married?
                                                            
                       LISA
Mom, she married a guy that just
got out of jail. She's already
doomed.
                                                            
One of the guys acts as if he's going to approach Lisa, but
fear sets in, and he turns back around.

Lisa pretends like she doesn't see him.
                                                            
                       LISA'S MOM
Nobody is perfect honey. He has a
big heart and his whole life
centers around your cousin Erica.
Now what you need to do Lisa is
find you somebody and settle down.
Life is to short to be single.
                                                            
                       LISA
      (Yawning)
Mom, I I'm getting sleepy. Can we
talk about this another time?
                                                            
                       LISA'S MOM
Yeah I guess we can. I hear you
yawning on me. Give Snuckles a
kiss for me.
                                                            

8.

                       LISA
I will mom.
                                                            
                       LISA'S MOM
Love you honey.
                                                            
                       LISA
Love you too mom. Goodnight.
                                                            
 
INT. FITNESS GYM - DAY
                                                            
Welcome to the fitness gym. The gym is quite ordinary,
except for the fact that most of the customers are older. We
see an older guy using all his strength to lift a ten pound
weight.

CLOSE ON legs moving swiftly across the treadmill. Lisa is
running the treadmill with diligent speed, and her Ipod is
blasting a motivation song in her ears as she runs.
                                                            
                       TRAINER
Push yourself Lisa. Push yourself
Lisa.
                                                            
Lisa starts cooling off.
                                                            
                       TRAINER
Good girl Lisa. I can definitely
tell that you worked hard.
                                                            
Numerous amounts of sweat can be seen dripping from Lisa's
face.Her face conveys the message of defeat.

Lisa fixes her eyes on the drink machine. The trainer stands
in front of her.
                                                            
                       TRAINER
You sit right here and take a
seat. The drink is on me today.
                                                            
                       LISA
Thanks so much. I owe you one.
                                                            
                       TRAINER
      (Cracking a smile)
Ah, anytime.
                                                            
After finding the first available weight bench, Lisa
consumes her drink quickly.

Lisa exits the gym, and her trainer follows her.

GYM'S PARKING LOT
                                                            
                       TRAINER
      (talking slowly)
Aw Lisa, before you leave... can I
ask you something?
                                                            
                       LISA
Sure, whats up?
                                                            
The trainer uses his arms to turn his head before speaking.
He rolls up his sleeves, and we see his python like muscles
bursting out.
                                                            
                       TRAINER
      (Speaking slowly)
Do you remember that favor that
you owe me?
                                                            
Lisa pause for a moment.
                                                            
                       LISA
I remember. Why?
                                                            
                       TRAINER
Maybe one day this week we can go
out to the park or something? It
can be looked at as two friends
hanging out.
                                                            
                       LISA
We will have to see. I can't make
any promises, because you know how
hectic my schedule is. Just give
me a call.
                                                            
The trainer nods his head to suggest that he understand, but
he is clearly upset.

Lisa goes to her car alone. Lisa makes an attempt to crank
the car up, but all we hear are rumbling sounds. After a
second failed attempt Lisa calls for help.
                                                            
                       LISA'S MOM
Hello.
                                                            
                       LISA
Mom I'm at the gym. Can you come
and have Dad tow my car back home?
And also can you give me a ride to
work?
                                                            

10.

                       LISA'S MOM
You are at the gym you said?
                                                            
                       LISA
Yes Mom. Please hurry, I got to go
home and shower before I go to
work.
                                                            
                       LISA'S MOM
I'm on my way.
                                                            
A frustrated Lisa sits on the car hood until help
arrives.Smoke from the car's engine causes her to stand up.
                                                            
 
EXT. PARK PLAY AREA - DAY
                                                            
Several kids are running jumping and playing on the
playground various equipment. We hear kids chanting old
songs as their eager parents watches in the background.
                                                            
 
EXT. PARK REST AREA - DAY
                                                            
The CAMERA PUSHES IN on Rachael who is sitting on the park
bench with a book. We catches glimpses of the other patrons
who are sitting on the adjacent bench. Suddenly, a small tap
on Rachael's shoulder causes her to turn around. She sees
Steve sporting a wide grin.
                                                            
                       RACHAEL
Oh my God! You scared the living
daylight out of me. Don't ever do
that again.
                                                            
An angry Rachael begin to hit Steve playfully.
                                                            
                       STEVE
My bat. I didn't mean to scare you
that bad. I didn't know you was so
fearful.
                                                            
                       RACHAEL
I'm not fearful. I just don't like
people to disturb me when I'm
reading.
                                                            
                       STEVE
I'm sorry. I just finish my
morning jog. What are you reading?
                                                            

11.

                       RACHAEL
I'm reading this new romance
novel.
                                                            
Rachael shows Steve the cover of the book.
                                                            
                       RACHAEL
I will finish reading it later
though. What you been up to
lately?
                                                            
                       STEVE
I'm still trying to figure the
town out. I'm still in the process
of discovering great hangout
spots.
                                                            
                       RACHAEL
Well lets see, you got the park,
the cafe, the wildcats football
team, the zoo and the amusement
park.
                                                            
                       STEVE
Sounds great. Lets go over there
where the basketball court at for
a while.
                                                            
 
INT. PARK'S BASKETBALL COURT - DAY
                                                            
Steve and Rachael stroll over to the basketball court. The
court has four baskets, and is empty. An abandoned
basketball is the only item that is on the court.

Steve picks the ball up and spins it on his finger.
                                                            
                       STEVE
Now this is more like it.
                                                            
                       RACHAEL
      (laughing)
Maybe this is more like it for
you. There is no way I'm touching
a basketball, unless it has Gucci
on it.
                                                            
Eager to show off, Steve takes a jump shot and makes nothing
but net.
                                                            
                       STEVE
I still got it.
                                                            

12.

Rachael gets the basketball after it comes out of the net.
She continues the process on every make or miss.
                                                            
                       RACHAEL
Whats your occupation?
                                                            
Steve steps back into NBA range and drains a three pointer.
                                                            
                       STEVE
I wanted to play in the NBA,but my
knee gave out. Therefore, I had to
find another plan. My brother and
I own our business. We sell custom
suits.
                                                            
                       RACHAEL
Nice. I like a man that his own
business.
                                                            
                       STEVE
There aint nothing to it. You just
got to have the right attitude.
                                                            
Steve takes a crazy one handed hook shot that rattles around
in the basketball. Steve gives a fist pump after the shot
goes down.
                                                            
                       STEVE
That is enough for the day, unless
you want to take a shot.
                                                            
                       RACHAEL
Well I guess it's time for me to
start back reading.
                                                            
Both of them laugh as they walk away.
                                                            
 
INT. CAR PLACE USA PARKING LOT - DAY
                                                            
We see a lineup of economy cars. Most of the cars are either
a Toyota or a Honda. A few pickup trucks and SUV'S can be
seen in the very back.
                                                            
 
INT. CAR PLACE USA BREAK ROOM - DAY
                                                            
Enter Car Place USA. The lot is empty. A fat car salesman
name Joe is talking to another salesman named Tyler.Tyler
has a still looking face and a wide charismatic smile. His
cowboy hat and cowboy boots stand out.


13.

Both men are sitting down at the break table, while they are
engaged in the conversation.
                                                            
                       JOE
I heard that our sales isn't up to
par with the competitors. Rumor
has it that this place is about to
close down.
                                                            
                       TYLER SAND
Man what they need to do is lower
the prices of these automobiles.
They expect the customers to pay
top notch dollars for cars that
have over 100 thousand miles.
                                                            
                       JOE
I already done started looking for
another job.
                                                            
                       TYLER SAND
Nah man. I been here too long. I'm
not leaving here until they
officially say,"We're out of
business."
                                                            
Joe goes to the vending machine and buys a honey bun. He
goes to the drink machine and buys a sprite.
                                                            
                       JOE
Country boy I would offer you one,
but I'm too hungry.
                                                            
Joe consumes his honey bun in two bites.

Tyler gets up from where he was seating. He tries to hide
his frustration, but he is unable to.
                                                            
                       TYLER SAND
Man I wish there was a magic wand
that I can waive to make customers
buy these cars. All I know is that
I got a daughter who is depending
on me. I can't afford to loose
this job.
                                                            
After a quick glance of the break room clock, both guys
leave the break room.
                                                            
 

14.

INT. CAR PLACE USA OFFICE - DAY
                                                            
The guys enters the office as their fellow co-worker Rick is
preparing to leave the office. Rick is carrying a cubby full
of belongings. His demeanor is positive.
                                                            
                       TYLER SAND
Rick, what are you so happy about?
                                                            
                       RICK RIGHT

                       JOE
      (licking his lips)
You brought us lunch. Tell me

                       RICK RIGHT

job working at Prince autoshop.
                                                            
                       JOE

                       TYLER SAND
Wait a second,- aint that's the

                       RICK RIGHT
Yes they are. My brother in law

situation and he put a good word
in for me! Guys it's been a
pleasure working with you.
                                                            
Rick uses his shoulder and bull rushes the door open. His
loud celebration can be heard all across the building.
                                                            
 
INT. LISA'S JOB - DAY
                                                            
Lisa walks inside of her job. The job scene appears to be
chaotic, but it's ordinary. We hear phones ringing, papers
printing from printers and fingers jamming keys on the
computers.

Slow-MO

Upon Lisa's entrance everybody stop working, and feast their
eyes on her. She boldly walks to her work station, and

15.

greets her fellow co workers. She takes her seat to her desk
which is located next to the wall.
                                                            
                       LISA (V.O.)
This is my job. It's not my dream
job, but it pays all my bills and
I still have money left over.
There also are a few cute guys
here, but none of them meet my
standards.
                                                            
One of Lisa's coworkers approaches her.
                                                            
                       RAY
Lisa your schedule is on your
desk.
                                                            
                       LISA
Thanks hun.
                                                            
Co-worker #2 approaches Lisa.
                                                            
                       CO- WORKER #2
Lisa I'm going to need you to
make two copies of your schedule
for next week.
                                                            
                       LISA
I will.
                                                            
Lisa sorts through her desk drawer and pulls out all her
papers. She goes through each of them one at a time. Her
nosey co-worker is seated next to her, and she interrupts
Lisa.
                                                            
                       CO-WORKER#3
Sorry to disturb you, but we are
having our annual Work Spring
party, and it will be held at the
depot. Everyone is expecting to
see you there. Maybe I should
rephrase that, and say that all
the guys are expecting to see you
there.
                                                            
                       LISA
      (Gasps)
                                                            
                       CO-WORKER#3
Whats wrong, it's going to be fun
and there is going to be a lot of
alchol there.
                                                            

16.

                       LISA
I know Cindy. I just don't want to
make any promises.
                                                            
Lisa gets back to work for a moment and then she is
interrupted again.
                                                            
                       CO-WORKER#3
      (Leaning over to
       Lisa)
Oh and one more thing- Tim is
going to be there and he is so
into you.
                                                            
                       LISA
Tim?
                                                            
Flashback:
                                                            
 
INT. LISA'S APARTMENT - NIGHT
                                                            
Lisa is unlocking her apartment door. A strange man in a
distance comes up to the door as she is preparing to enter.
Lisa screams!
                                                            
                       TIM HARDING
Lisa it's me. It's me Tim.
                                                            
                       LISA
How did you know where I lived?
                                                            
                       TIM HARDING
I followed you home.
                                                            
                       LISA
You followed me. What are you a
stalker? You're crazy. I'm calling
the police.
                                                            
Lisa whips out her cell phone and attempts to dial the
number, but Tim put his hands on hers.
                                                            
                       TIM HARDING
You're overreacting. Calm down. I
knew you had a flat tire earlier,
so I was making sure you got home
safely. I knew you changed the
tire, but I was just followed you
to be sure it don't come off.
                                                            
Lisa locks her eyes on his. Slowly, she puts the cell phone
back in her purse.
                                                            

17.

End flashback
                                                            
                       CO-WORKER#3
Lisa. Lisa. Did I say something
wrong?
                                                            
                       LISA
      (Blinking her eyes
       twice)
I'm okay.
                                                            
 
INT. CAR PLACE USA - DAY
                                                            
Tyler is in the office talking to Joe and the other co
workers. Joe is the only one eating while the meeting is
going on.
                                                            
                       TYLER SAND
As everybody already know, we are
on the brink of going out of
business. However, there still is
hope.
                                                            
Joe starts munching on the chips while Tyler is doing his
presentation. Tyler gives him a mean look.
                                                            
                       TYLER SAND
Now in order for us to change our
look around, we are going to have
to up our tactics. We might have
to bribe the customers by offering
them free gas home. We might have
to even offer them food from the
snack machine.
                                                            
                       JOE
Sorry, but the snack machine is
empty.
                                                            
Everybody looks in the direction of the snack machine. The
CAMERA MOVES toward the empty vending machine.
                                                            
Joe continues to munch on his chips.
                                                            
                       TYLER SAND
We still can find other methods
that will work. This is important
people. I'm not trying to be out
of a job.
                                                            
Joe raises his hand. Tyler acknowledges him to speak.
                                                            

18.

                       JOE
      (talking with his
       mouth full)
You know, you know, I think that
we probably will be better off
just facing our destiny. I mean
it's not hard to find another car
place to work.
                                                            
                       TYLER SAND
Wrong answer. Wrong answer. We
can't give up. Lets make a sale.
Every customer that walks in
through those doors should be
viewed as dollar signs.
                                                            
We hear slight moaning and grumbling among the workers.
                                                            
                       TYLER SAND
Please hear me out. We can do
this. We don't have to go out of
business.
                                                            
Another worker raises their hand. Tyler gives them
permission to speak.
                                                            
                       CAR WORKER #1
I don't know what the big deal is.
The other car lots are right next
to ours and they sell better cars.
                                                            
                       TYLER SAND
The big deal is that we don't have
to go out of business. We can
compete with those other car lots
off of our inventory.
                                                            
The workers rejects Tyler plan. Profanity can be heard
coming from their mouths.

A dismayed Tyler goes to a isolated corner and bury his head
in his lap. Joe goes to comfort him.
                                                            
                       TYLER SAND
I can't believe that my fellow
workers don't care about this job.
Some of them been working here
longer than me, and they acting
like they just don't care.
                                                            

19.

                       JOE
      (laughing)
Yeah that is how life work
sometimes. Life is unfair man.
                                                            
The loud call system at the job goes off. We hear the sound,
"Joe you are needed on line 1." " Joe you are needed on line
1."
                                                            
                       JOE
      (Angrily)
Do they know that I'm on my
freaking lunch break!
                                                            
Joe walks off angrily.
                                                            
 
INT. CAR PLACE USA OFFICE - DAY
                                                            
Joe stampedes in the office. Joe aggressively grabs the
phone from the secretary. His voice is more than unpleasant.
                                                            
                       JOE
This is Joe, what do you want?
                                                            
                       LISA'S DAD
Good Afternoon Sir. Did I call at
a bad time?
                                                            
                       JOE
You darn right you did. I was on
my lunch break.
                                                            
                       LISA'S DAD
I'm sorry to disturb.
                                                            
We hear the sound of the phone slamming in the background.
                                                            
                       SECRETARY
Joe what has gotten into you? We
don't talk to our customers like
that.
                                                            
Joe locks his eyes to the floor. His angry frown still
hasn't disappeared from his face.

The secretary makes her frustration known. She bites her
bottom lips continually.
                                                            
                       SECRETARY
You can bet that I will report
you. I guarantee you that your
days are numbered here at Car
Place USA!. We could of had a
            (MORE)

20.

                       SECRETARY (cont'd)
customer.
                                                            
                       JOE
Well it don't matter. This crummy
old place is getting ready to
close down soon, and then none of
us will have a job.
                                                            
                       SECRETARY
You shouldn't be working here if
you got an attitude like that.
                                                            
                       JOE
Who made you the boss?
                                                            
Joe extends his hands forward to push open the door. He
walks out the door with both hands in a fist form.
                                                            
 
EXT. CITY VIEW - DAY
                                                            
MOVING CAMERA displays rain and thunderstorms pounding on
the roof of Lisa's apartment, a resident running for cover,
and trees falling down.
                                                            
 
INT. LISA'S HALLWAY - DAY
                                                            
Snuckles is ranting and barking through the hallway. He is
uneasy and every thunderstorm boom enhances his bark.
                                                            
 
INT. LISA'S BEDROOM - NIGHT
                                                            
Pan across details in a bedroom...we see Lisa in her bedroom
clothes watching television....a bowl of popcorn...and we
hear
                                                            
                       MALE MODEL (V.O.)
I love you Kathy.I now know what
the meaning of love really is. All
the money, fame, cars don't mean
jack to me if I don't have you.
Would you do me the honor of being
my wife?
                                                            
Lisa grabs her pillow and begin to hold it tighter. Now we
see a T.V. and Lisa's eyes are glued to it.
                                                            
                       LISA
Oh my God. You better marry that
man girl. Don't let him get away.
                                                            

21.

                       FEMALE MODEL (V.O.)
I'm sorry James. I know you really
love me and all, but I'm in love
with your brother Chris.
                                                            
Lisa is emotionally exhibiting the feelings of the man on
the T.V. She roars in disappointment,like a woman who just
find out she been cheated on.

Lisa loud roar causes Snuckles to enter the room. His nose
is leading the way, and he is barking continually.
                                                            
 
INT. SUPERVISOR'S OFFICE - DAY
                                                            
CLOSE ON an office chair spinning around. We see an older
guy with dark gray hair, sporting a goatee. The guy is
wearing a manager's tag.

Joe is sitting impatiently. His feet are constantly moving
,and he is biting his lips.
                                                            
                       SUPERVISOR
So word on the street is that you
don't want to be here.
                                                            
Joe fix his eyes on the ceiling.
                                                            
                       SUPERVISOR
You know what my main rule is. I
will not tolerate a negative
attitude. Negative energy have a
tendency to rub off, and I just
can't have that. Is there anything
you would like to say for
yourself?
                                                            
Joe leans back in his chair. He attempts to speak, but is
unable to.
                                                            
                       SUPERVISOR
Well I'm going to guess that the
rumors are true. A part of me
wanted to believe it all was a
joke. I know times have been rough
here lately, but that's okay. You
just got to perservere.
                                                            
Joe mimics the supervisor while his head is turned.
                                                            
                       JOE
You got to perservere.
                                                            

22.

                       SUPERVISOR
I'm suspending you until further
notice. I'll let you know when to
come back.
                                                            
 
INT. MALL PARKING LOT - DAY

Where do you want to go first?
                                                            
                       LISA
Lets go and get our nails did.
                                                            
The ladies enters the Nail Salon. The long line alters the
women decision.
                                                            
                       RACHAEL
We can always come back. Besides,
I'm hungry. Lets go and get
something to eat.
                                                            
 
INT. FOOD SECTION OF MALL - DAY
                                                            
Rachael strolls across the mall to the food section. Lisa
follows her cue.

Rachael orders a peperoni pizza from the Pizza Hut. Lisa
only orders a small fry.

The ladies sit in the middle of the seating area.
                                                            
                       RACHAEL
      (biting her pizza)
This is some good pizza Lisa. You
better go and order you something
to eat.
                                                            
Lisa gives her a less than impressed look while she is
sipping her drink.
                                                            

23.

                       RACHAEL
While I'm thinking about it, there
is something I need to tell you.
                                                            
                       LISA
What is it?
                                                            
                       RACHAEL
I kind of accidentally gave Larry
your phone number.
                                                            
Lisa spits out her drink. She raises her voice, causing the
other customers to stare at her.

Snuckles sneaks out of her purse.
                                                            
                       LISA
      (looking puzzled)
Rachael, why didn't you ask me
first?
                                                            
Snuckles runs under the table and jumps on Rachael's lap.
The dog sniffs her food.
                                                            
                       RACHAEL
Get away from me dog. This is my
food. Leave it alone. Rachael get
your dog away from me.
                                                            
                       LISA
Well he should eat your food. You
shouldn't of did what you did.
                                                            
Snuckles nips a fry before going back into Lisa's purse.
                                                            
 
EXT. JAPANESE RESTAURANT PARKING LOT - NIGHT
                                                            
A nice black Mercedes has just pulled up to an elegant
restaurant.

Lisa gets out wearing a beautiful evening gown. Larry is
wearing a tailor made suit.
                                                            
 
INT. INSIDE OF RESTAURANT - NIGHT
                                                            
The couple is greeted by a host. The host leads them to the
private part of the restaurant.
                                                            
                       LISA
      (reading the menu)
I never heard of this food before.
                                                            

24.

                       LARRY
Try meal number two. It's my
favorite.
                                                            
A short older gentleman wearing a bow-tie comes to take
their order.
                                                            
                       WAITER
May I take your order?
                                                            
                       LARRY
Yes you can. We will both have
meal number two please.
                                                            
                       WAITER
What kind of drink.
                                                            
                       LARRY
I will take a cold glass of water.
                                                            
                       WAITER
And as for you madam?
                                                            
                       LISA
I'll have sweet tea.
                                                            
The waiter writes down their order and exits.
                                                            
                       LARRY
I was thrilled when I learned that
you thought I was cute.
                                                            
Larry gently strokes Lisa's hand.
                                                            
                       LISA
Who told you that?
                                                            
                       LARRY
Your friend Lisa told me the whole
story. Don't feel embarrassed,
because I also thought you were
super hot.
                                                            
                       LISA
Excuse me please. I have to visit
the ladies room.
                                                            
 
INT. BATHROOM - NIGHT
                                                            
The bathroom consists of three stalls and an old sink. Lisa
props herself against the wall and dials Rachael number.
                                                            

25.

                       LISA
Rachael, why did you tell Larry
that I wanted to date him.? You
know he isn't my type.
                                                            
We hear a scrambled voice coming from the phone, but we are
unable to understand the words.
                                                            
                       LISA
Rachael, I know you mean well, but
I you can't go around making up
stuff. You just can't do it.
                                                            
An older woman enters the restroom. The woman is carrying a
cane, and walks with a slight limp. She occupies the first
bathroom stall.

Lisa continues her heated discussion with Rachael. She is
oblivious to the fact that Snuckles has just escaped from
her purse.

Snuckles enters the first stall. We hear a loud scream...and
we see the older woman sitting on the toilet swinging her
cane at Snuckles.
                                                            
                       LISA
      (grabbing Snuckles)
Snuckles! Bad dog! Bad dog! I
didn't give you permission to get
out.
                                                            
We hear heavy breathing...
                                                            
                       LISA
Mam I'm really sorry. I didn't
know that he had escaped.
                                                            
The older woman strikes her cane across the stall's door.

Lisa comforts the dogs as she leaves the bathroom.
                                                            
 
INT. RESTAURANT DINING AREA - NIGHT
                                                            
Lisa arrives back to the table, and sees Larry already
eating. Lisa takes a good hard look at the food.
                                                            
                       LISA
What is this?
                                                            

26.

                       LARRY
Something that you're going to
enjoy. Now sit down and have a
seat.
                                                            
Lisa plops down in the chair. She let her fingers crawl
through the food. Slowly, she picks up a Tori kara-age(deep
fried chicken nuggets).
                                                            
                       LARRY
Those are chicken nuggets. Go
ahead taste it.
                                                            
Lisa sniffs the nugget before putting it in her mouth. She
takes a bite, and chews carefully.
                                                            
                       LARRY
      (laughing)
See. I told you that it wasn't so
bad. Did you like it?
                                                            
Lisa gives a thumbs up, but her facial expression tells
another story.
                                                            
                       LISA
Tell me a little about yourself.
                                                            
                       LARRY
Where do I start? Lets see, I'm
31, I'm originally from Seattle. I
have my own business. I'm also
working on a book.
                                                            
                       LISA
      (sips her drink)
                                                            
                       LARRY
Now I also plan on starting
another business...
                                                            
Larry continues to brag, brag, and brag the rest of the
night

We see Lisa leaning her her head to the side, mouth wide
open, and eyes starring in space.
                                                            
 
EXT. LISA'S APARTMENT - NIGHT
                                                            
We see Lisa scribbling something down on a piece of paper
before entering her apartment.


27.

We also see Larry attempting to kiss Lisa, but she put her
hand out instead.
                                                            
                       LISA (V.O.)
I know he might look good and
drive a nice car an all, but he
isn't my type. I'm attracted to

friends with me. I'm still mad at
you for lying to Larry.
                                                            
Lisa turns her head away from Rachael, and pokes her lips
out.
                                                            
                       RACHAEL
Awe girl. Are you still mad about
that. I was trying to do you a
favor. The man is rich, good
looking. What more do you want?
                                                            
Lisa looks in Rachael's direction and gives her a "I don't
care look."
                                                            
                       LISA
He might be all that in your
opinion. Men come a dime a dozen
to me. I want a man who smells
like success. I want to be like
those trophy wives at the ESPYS.
Larry makes suits for a livings.
                                                            
Rachael gives Lisa a blank look.
                                                            

29.

                       RACHAEL
Lisa you are crazy. You really do
live in a fairy tale world.The
funny thing about this situation
is that you honestly think that
your dream is going to come true.
                                                            
                       LISA
Oh I almost forgot. I said that I
was going to Car-place USA today.
Give me a ride there.

Rachael and Lisa step away from Tyler to have a private
conversation.
                                                            
                       RACHAEL
I thought you came here looking
for a car. I didn't know that you
came here because of some guy you
saw on T.V.
                                                            
                       LISA
The guy was on the T.V. and I
wanted him, so I came up here to
get him. I didn't know that they

customers.
                                                            
Rachael rubs her hands across Lisa's forehead.
                                                            
                       RACHAEL
You don't appear to be sick. I
could of told you that there
wasn't going to be a celebrity
here.
                                                            
Tyler interrupts the women conversation.
                                                            
                       TYLER SAND
So have you two decided what kind
of car you are going to buy?
                                                            
                       LISA
We wasn't discussing that. We were
discussing something else.
                                                            
                       TYLER SAND
Oh I see. You two are having
trouble in the relationship.
                                                            
                       LISA (V.O.)
What did he say? I know he aint
insisting that me and Rachael are
a couple. I can't beleive it!
                                                            
Lisa steps on Tyler's feet and push him slightly.
                                                            
                       LISA
Are you calling me a lesbian?
                                                            
                       TYLER SAND
I'm so sorry. I didn't know that
you two wasn't a couple. I'm
sorry.
                                                            
Lisa grabs Tyler by the collar and he continually to
apologize. After Lisa releases his collar, he directs her
and Rachael to a new 2008 Honda Accord.
                                                            
                       TYLER SAND
Now this car is practically new.
The previous owner didn't put any
real miles on it. This car is like
the best bargain that we have.
                                                            
Lisa and Rachael examines the car.
                                                            

31.

                       LISA
Whats the asking price?
                                                            
                       TYLER SAND
The sticker price is 17,000, but I
will lower the price of the car if
you go out on a date with me.
                                                            
                       LISA
You slime-ball. I don't date
ordinary guys.
                                                            
                       TYLER SAND
I didn't say that we had to form a
relationship, we can just go out
on a couple of dates and see what
it leads to.
                                                            
                       LISA
You know what. I'm tired of your
foolish talking mister. Lets go
Rachael.
                                                            
                       RACHAEL
I thought that you would never say
that. This guy is a jerk.
                                                            
The two ladies rush into the car. Afterwards Tyler comes up
to the driver side. Lisa rolls the car window down.
                                                            
                       LISA
What?
                                                            
                       TYLER SAND
I'm sorry. I usually don't act
like this, but your beauty is
making me act like this.
                                                            
                       LISA
Save the excuses for Dr.Phil. You
blew it mister.

                       RACHAEL
Don't you think that you might was
a little too rough on that poor
guy?
                                                            
                       LISA
Nope. He should of known not to

                       LISA
You really do know how to make a
woman feel special.
                                                            
                       LARRY
I was at the store when I saw all
these lovely roses. Then I said to
myself- who could I give these
roses to?
                                                            
                       LISA
      (smelling the
       roses.)
Ah you too sweet.
                                                            
Larry takes a seat in the extra chair next to Lisa's.
                                                            
                       LISA
I'm sure glad you gave me these
flowers. I had a rough day.
                                                            
                       LARRY
Rough day. What happened?
                                                            
                       LISA
Some idiot at the car lot was
trying to flirt with me ,instead
of trying to sell me a car.
                                                            
                       LARRY
Are you looking for a car?
                                                            

33.

                       LISA
Yeah. You saw my old piece of junk
car that I got.
                                                            
                       LARRY
How about I buy you a car?
                                                            
Lisa pauses for a second and stares at Larry.
                                                            
                       LISA
You buy me a car. You barely know
me.
                                                            
                       LARRY
I know enough about you to know
that you're the direction that I
want to go in.
                                                            
                       LISA
I done had some people do some
pretty awesome things for me, but
I never had nobody ask to buy me a
car.
                                                            
Larry leaves his chair and goes and stands behind Lisa.
Larry puts his hands on Lisa's shoulder while he is talking.
                                                            
                       LARRY
Maybe those other men didn't care
for you the way I care for you.
                                                            
                       LISA
I'm quite sure you do care for me,
but there is no way I can let you
buy a car for me.
                                                            
                       LARRY
      (Takes a deep
       breath)
                                                            
                       LISA
I just can't let you buy a car for
me.
                                                            
                       LARRY
Lisa what you don't understand is
that I have plenty of money. My
brother and I gives thousands of
dollars every year to charity.
Wouldn't you agree that me buying
you a car is a charitable act?
                                                            
Lisa gets up from her chair.
                                                            

34.

                       LISA
I know you mean well, but I can't
take advantage of you like that.
                                                            
Larry shakes his head twice and begins walking back to his
car. Before he gets inside he speaks to Lisa.

                       TYLER SAND
Don't I know you.
                                                            
Rachael turns around to see Tyler. Tyler is wearing his work
clothes.
                                                            
                       RACHAEL
Hi you doing Mr.Car salesman.
                                                            
                       TYLER SAND
      (laughing)
I'm doing fine. I'm sorry about my
conduct yesterday. I was really
rude and I really do apologize.
                                                            
                       RACHAEL
I suppose you was a little mean.
I'm not the one who you should be
apologizing to. Lisa was the one
who was hot afterwards.
                                                            
                       TYLER SAND
I'm quite sure she was. Make sure
you tell her that I really am
sorry for hitting on her.
                                                            
                       RACHAEL
I will make sure I tell her.
                                                            
Rachael pushes her cart away.
                                                            
                       TYLER SAND
One more thing.
                                                            
Rachael looks back.
                                                            

35.

                       TYLER SAND
What if I wasn't joking around?
What if I really did find her to
be cute and I really was
interested in talking to her.
                                                            
                       RACHAEL
      (laughs hard)
                                                            
                       TYLER SAND
Did I say something funny?
                                                            
                       RACHAEL
I'm not trying to be mean, but
you're not her type. She wouldn't
look twice at you. She has really
high standards.
                                                            
Tyler examines his body.
                                                            
                       TYLER SAND
Hey, what you trying to say. I'm
ugly?
                                                            
                       RACHAEL
Um do you want the truth?
                                                            
                       TYLER SAND
Yeah I want the truth?
                                                            
                       LISA
In order to talk to her you got to
have money like Lebron James,
looks like Nick Lachey and a body
like Mario Lopez. And if you don't
got all three, then you don't have
a chance. I don't mean to sound so
harsh, but that's just the way she
is. She wants to be a trophy wife
who is married to a celebrity.
                                                            
                       TYLER SAND
      (smiling)
Ah I didn't know she was like
that. She just going to have to
reject me, but when I want
somethng I usually get it.
                                                            
                       RACHAEL
If thats how you feel, Good luck.
                                                            
Tyler and Rachael both walk away in different directions

Dear Lisa, God works in mysterious
ways. We was praying that God
would give you a car and he did.
Some guy by the name of Larry is

Why did you buy my mom a car?
                                                            
                       LARRY
I asked you if you wanted a car
too, and you said no.
                                                            
                       LISA
My mother don't accept gifts from
other men. She is married.
                                                            
                       LARRY
Ah, now that were you wrong at. I
gave the car to both of your
parents. I told them that it was
laid on my heart to do something
good for somebody.
                                                            
                       LISA
You know what I think it would be
best if you just stayed away from
me and my family.

What, you don't believe that I ran
track?

car? I guarantee not none.

You got Lisa a car? Are you crazy?
You barely no her bro.
                                                            
                       LARRY
That not the point Steve. That's
not the point. The point is , she
thanks me by saying she don't want
to have anything to do with me.
Can you believe it?
                                                            
                       STEVE
Look at it this way, there are
other fishes out there in the sea.

                       LISA
Well I don't accept your apology.
I'm sorry, but that is just how I
feel.
                                                            
                       TYLER SAND
I know. I know. I know. I made a
mistake. Please let me make it up
to you. A young woman like
yourself deserves to be treated
better.
                                                            
Lisa glances at Cloud, and Cloud makes a mean face at her.
                                                            
                       LISA
      (laughing)
I swear your daughter doesn't like
me.
                                                            
                       TYLER SAND
She really doesn't like anybody.
                                                            
Lisa glances at Cloud again, and sees her licking her tongue
in her direction.
                                                            
                       TYLER SAND
Listen, I got to get her off to
the baby sitter, but how about
later on tonight I take you to

tonight.
                                                            
                       TYLER SAND
A party?
                                                            
                       LISA
Well it's basically just for the
people who work at my job.
                                                            
                       TYLER SAND
OK then. I'll take you out
tomorrow then. Don't be late,
cause I'm going to meet you at

                       LISA
Larry supposedly gave this car to
my parents as a gift, because I
told him I didn't take free cars
from people. And of course since I
needed a car, my parents gave it
to me.
                                                            
                       RACHAEL
Are you drunk or crazy? It's not
often that people give you a free
car.

right taking a free car from
somebody.

want it I'll take it.Larry took
his hard earned money and gave you
a free car.- He care so much about
you and he would do anything to
make you happy.
                                                            
                       LISA
Well maybe, but when did you
become an expert on his feelings?
                                                            
                       RACHAEL
Umm....Um mm.... I wasn't going to
say nothing, but last night he
came over Steve house and I was
there. He was telling Steve how
unthankful you was.
                                                            
                       LISA
      (talking lower)
I didn't mean to hurt his
feelings. I just don't feel right
taking a gift of this magnitude.
                                                            
                       RACHAEL
Magnitude. Stop using big words
with me.

                       LISA
Mom.
                                                            
                       LISA'S MOM
Now you listen to me. I didn't
raise you to turn down blessings.
I don't want you to ever think
that you're too good to take a
donation from somebody. You got

You didn't have to give me the
entire bag.

                       LISA
No you don't.
                                                            
The Co-worker leaves her area and goes to socialize with the
other workers in that area. Lisa can over- hear them

                       RACHAEL
Now whats on your mind?
                                                            
                       LISA
Do you remember Tim, the guy who
was at the party last night?
                                                            
                       RACHAEL
I do. What about him?
                                                            
                       LISA
Well this morning when I got to
work, I had a card and some
chocolate on my desk, and it was
from him.
                                                            
                       RACHAEL
Don't be so quick to jump to
conclusions. It might not be Tim,
it might be somebody else. Every
man in town has the hots for you.

Lisa comes closer to Tyler's truck. Tyler is wearing a
t-shirt , cowboy jeans, and a big country hat. His daughter
is right beside him.
                                                            
                       LISA
Tyler, what are you doing here?
How did you know where I live?
                                                            
                       TYLER SAND
We will discuss that at the
restaurant. All I need you to do
is get in. Cloud and I are ready
to eat.
                                                            
                       LISA
I'm not trying to be rude or
nothing, but I don't remember us
having a date tonight.
                                                            
                       TYLER SAND
Who said anything about a date? We
going out to eat like three
ordinary people. Now stop being
stubborn girl and get in this
truck.
                                                            
                       CLOUD SAND
You heard my daddy! Come on, I'm
hungry!
                                                            
Lisa laughs.
                                                            
                       LISA
I guess I don't have a choice do
I? Let me go and get my jacket.

                       LISA
Oh great.

                       CLOUD SAND
You have to close your eyes.

Cloud makes an unsuccessful attempt to open her duck sauce.
                                                            
                       CLOUD SAND
I can't open it.
                                                            
Cloud gives the duck sauce to Tyler and he opens it.
                                                            
                       LISA
She is so cute. I know her mother
is proud of her.
                                                            
                       TYLER SAND
Her mom died shortly after she was
born. The birth of Cloud proved to
be too much for her body.
                                                            
Lisa takes a bite out of her shrimp.
                                                            
                       LISA
Crunchy. I'm sorry to hear that.
                                                            
                       TYLER SAND
Don't worry about it. God doesn't
put no more on us than we can
bare.
                                                            
                       LISA
So you are a single parent?
                                                            
                       TYLER SAND
Yeah I am. I consider being a
parent the best job a man can
have. Cloud has taught me to
appreciate the small things in
life.
                                                            

53.

                       CLOUD SAND
Dad can I go get some more shrimp

Lisa takes Cloud to the buffet. She gives her two scoops of
shrimp fried rice. Cloud happily returns to the table.
                                                            
                       LISA
Can I ask you something Tyler?
                                                            
                       TYLER SAND
Sure?
                                                            
                       LISA
You have got to be the most
country person I know. Who wears a
cowboy hat when they going out to
eat?
                                                            
                       TYLER SAND
Well I might be, but I wouldn't
have it no other way. I'm from the
small town of Pelham Georgia. The
only reason why I'm here is
because I wanted Cloud to attend
River Life Elementary school.
                                                            
Lisa stops eating and watches Cloud as she eats.
                                                            
                       TYLER SAND
You better make sure you get full
mam. I didn't pay all this money
for nothing.
                                                            
Lisa takes a bite off her chicken, before speaking.
                                                            
                       LISA
I'm full.
                                                            
                       TYLER SAND
Now young lady you sure don't eat
much. It might be a while though
before I'm finish. I'm only on my
first plate.
                                                            
Lisa starts laughing.

like.
                                                            
                       RACHAEL
Um Lets go over his resume. He is
a car salesman, he has a daughter,
and he's not rich. I say that's

the chance to take her out again.

Cheaters.
                                                            
                       LARRY

everybody. Can I have a beer?

                       STEVE
I just came up with an idea.
                                                            
                       LARRY
Whats up Steve?
                                                            
                       STEVE
You know how you been saying for
the longest that Lisa is the one
for you?
                                                            
Larry pops the top off his beer.
                                                            
                       STEVE
Well the way I look at it is like
this. The reason she turned you
down is probably because another
man is in her life.
                                                            
                       LARRY
And your point is?
                                                            
Steve stands up.
                                                            
                       STEVE
Well if there is another man in
her life, then we can find out and
find a way to get him off the
scene. You can hire somebody to do
some detective work for you, just
like they did on Cheaters.
                                                            
Larry sips his beer before he speaks.
                                                            
                       LARRY
I don't know Steve. What I'm
suppose to do if I do find out
there is another man in the
picture. I'm supposed to kill him
or something?
                                                            
                       STEVE
Who said something about killing
somebody? You can find some dirt
on him, find him another woman,or
just pay him off.
                                                            
Larry puts his beer down and begin to rub his chin.
                                                            

59.

                       STEVE
Hey bro it may sound a little
harsh, but in the long-run when
you get your woman, it will pay
off.
                                                            
                       LARRY
You might have a point Steve. Lets
go online and see how much money
we talking about to hire these bad
boys.
                                                            
Both of the men goes where the computer is at.

                       TYLER SAND
I think you're little dog wants me
to come in.
                                                            
                       LISA
Come in. Where is Cloud?
                                                            
                       TYLER SAND
She went to a birthday party.
                                                            
Tyler goes to the couch.
                                                            
                       LISA
Who cd you got?
                                                            

60.

                       TYLER SAND
This CD has my type of music on
it.
                                                            
                       LISA
      (laughing)
And what would that be? Country?
                                                            
                       TYLER SAND
Actually it is mam? Do you have a
cd player?

dvd player.
                                                            
Lisa open the DVD player and puts the CD inside.Tyler
immediately starts singing when the music comes on.
                                                            
                       LISA
Oh No! This is too country for me.
                                                            
Lisa goes to take the CD out,but Tyler speaks to her.
                                                            
                       TYLER SAND
If you would dance me with me mam,
I promise you will like it.
                                                            
                       LISA
No way. You know what? You're
really crazy. You're lunatic.
Nobody listens to this kind of
music. I'm cutting it off.
                                                            
Lisa goes back to the dvd player again,but Snuckles starts
growling at her.
                                                            
                       LISA
No Snuckles. No snuckles. This
music is bad for you?
                                                            
                       TYLER SAND
I say the dog has a point. Lets
dance.
                                                            
Tyler puts one arm on Lisa's arm and the other on her waist.
                                                            
                       LISA
No. No. No. This is-
                                                            
Tyler spins Lisa around. She laughs and laughs.
                                                            

61.

                       LISA
You really are a good dancer. Who
taught you how to dance like this?
                                                            
Tyler puts his feet in front of Lisa's and tells her to
follow his lead. She does. Snuckles curls up and watches the
two dance. After the two finishes dancing Tyler prepares to
leave.
                                                            
                       LISA
I haven't had this much fun in a
long time.
                                                            
Tyler nods his hat toward Lisa as he is walking out the
door.
                                                            
                       TYLER SAND
My pleasure mam.
                                                            
Tyler walks toward his old pickup truck and Lisa stops him.
She hands him a piece of paper with some numbers on it.
                                                            
                       LISA
Um.....um,.... you know I just
figured that maybe you know
sometimes if you're not busy you
might want to call me.
                                                            
                       TYLER SAND
I might can do that.
                                                            
Lisa watches Tyler as he drives off and continues to look
toward that direction.
                                                            
                       LISA (V. O.)

                       RACHAEL
Why?
                                                            
                       KEITH RANGER

women out there.
                                                            
                       RACHAEL
Oh no. I'm not going to reject
you. I'm not that type of person.
Aren't you going to order
something?

                       KEITH RANGER
Her name wouldn't happen to be
Lisa would it?
                                                            
Rachael stops eating and gives Keith a surprised look.
                                                            
                       RACHAEL

                       RACHAEL
Tell me. I might do know him.
                                                            
                       KEITH RANGER
It's not important. Let me ask you
this though, who is Lisa dating
right now?
                                                            
                       RACHAEL
I have no idea. Her lot of guys
has been making passes at her, but
I'm uncertain as to who she's
dating.
                                                            
Rachael opens her purse and pulls out a five dollar bill.
She leaves the money on the table as she is leaving.

relationship, but there is another
guy on the scene.

not interested.

determining his identity and
occupation.

returning my phone calls because
she has another man in her life.

Don't be so quick to jump to
conclusions.

So what do you think I should do
Steve? Should I confront the guy,
confront Lisa or what?
                                                            
                       STEVE
Now lets weigh every option. You
don't want to confront him, cause
then he will know you spying on
him. You don't want to confront
Lisa, cause then she'll know you
been spying on her.
                                                            
Keith cell phone starts ringing. Keith goes to the kitchen.
Keith leaves his detective book behind.
                                                            
                       STEVE
We can set him up with another
woman, but it's not guaranteed
that he will fall for it.
                                                            
Larry stands and begin to read the Detective's book. After a
while he starts grabbing his chin hair.
                                                            
                       STEVE
I know what that mean. Tell me
what you're thinking.
                                                            
                       LARRY
According to this he is
unemployed. Why not give him a job
working at our store in Tampa?
                                                            

85.

                       STEVE
I guess we can do that. Are you
sure you still want her bro?

woman from me and now he got to
suffer the consequences.

                       TYLER SAND
When do I start?
                                                            
                       KEITH RANGER
Well you can start tomorrow? The
only bad thing is that the job is
four hours away from here?
                                                            
Tyler's excitement leaves him.

about the job and I decided that I
can't take the offer. I got too
much to loose.
                                                            
                       KEITH RANGER
I respect your decision, but I
urge you to think about the choice
you're making. Jobs are hard to

think we offered you that job?

Daddy will buy you another apple
honey. Stop crying.
                                                            
                       STEVE
Here is the deal man. Your best
bet is to find a way out of deal

a job, and you turned it down. Now
your best bet would be to find
your own way out of town.

daughter good bye.

Nice going bro. You just had to

                       STEVE
Leave the driving to me. We got to
get home and get out of these
clothes.
                                                            
                       LARRY
I feel bad for what we did though.
                                                            
                       STEVE
Don't start acting like a sucker
about it. We did what we had to
do. It's not like we killed
nobody. We just put a little fear

                       LISA
      (looking perplexed)
Are you serious?
                                                            
                       LARRY
Well I heard him call her honey

An angry Lisa sits down on the sofa. She bangs her hand
against it hard. Larry tries to comfort her.
                                                            
                       LARRY

      (Talking from the
       mirror.)

bone-while she talks to him.
                                                            
                       LISA
Snuckles why do men act the way
they act? I was actually starting
to develop feelings for Tyler. I
know that I feel like I'm a trophy
wife and I know I'm supposed to be
with a celebrity, but it's not all
about that.
                                                            
Snuckles turns his head sideways and stare at Lisa.
                                                            
                       LISA
The odd thing about life is that
you can't control who you will
develop feelings for. A trophy
wife is just a name. I want to be
a wife who has a trophy husband.
                                                            
Lisa begin to groom Snuckles.
                                                            
                       LISA
A trophy husband is somebody who
treats you like a queen. They may
not have Bradd Pitt looks, but
they have Mother Teresa's heart.
And to me that is worth way more
than outter beauty.

                       LARRY
      (laughing to
       himself.)
My girl wants to borrow some cash
from her man.
                                                            
 
INT. TYLER'S HOUSE - NIGHT
                                                            
Tyler and Cloud are both watching re-runs of Family Matters.
They are both glued to the T.V. when they hear a loud horn
blow. Tyler peeks out the window and sees a Porsche boxer
with dark tent.
                                                            
                       CLOUD SAND
Who is outside daddy?
                                                            
                       TYLER SAND
They probably got the wrong house.
                                                            
Suddenly they hear a knock at the door and they hear some
barking.
                                                            
                       CLOUD SAND
Daddy, why is short dog here?
                                                            
Tyler opens the door and sees Lisa. She is wearing a bright
evening gown, pumps and she has a flower on her hair. Tyler
Starr's at her in disbelief.

Snuckles is wearing a little dogie's outfit.
                                                            
                       LISA
Can I come in?
                                                            
                       TYLER SAND
Sure.
                                                            
                       LISA
I'm sorry about not answering your
phone calls. I know you are
probably mad at me and all, but I
have something to say.
                                                            
                       TYLER SAND
Take a seat.
                                                            

102.

                       LISA
I know that I act all high class
and everything, and I know that I
have my pick of a lot of guys.
                                                            
Lisa pause for a moment.
                                                            
                       LISA
However, I also know a good man
when I see one. I don't know why
you left my house early the other
night, but I don't believe you
left to see another woman.
                                                            
Tyler attempts to talk but Lisa put one of her fingers up to
his mouth.
                                                            
                       LISA
Don't worry about it. You don't
have to explain. What I'm about to
do is unorthodox, but I think
you're worth it.
                                                            
Lisa removes the flower bow from her hair. She open the
carpel of the flower and pulls out a beautiful engagement
ring. She gets down on both knees and stroke her hands
across Tyler's leg.
                                                            
                       LISA
Country boy, will you marry me?
                                                            
                       TYLER SAND
Oh my GOD! I have never seen
anything like this before. You
proposing to me. What?
                                                            
                       LISA
      (laughing)
Is that a yes?
                                                            
                       TYLER SAND
You want me. You are proposing to
Tyler Sands, a guy who is a
regular joe.
                                                            
                       LISA
I need an answer.
                                                            
Snuckles goes and start chewing on Tyler's leg.
                                                            

103.

                       TYLER SAND
I mean yeah. Hell yeah. You darn
right I want to marry you. Come
here lady.
                                                            
Tyler spins Lisa around. Tears of joy are streaming down
Lisa's face.
                                                            
                       LISA (V.O.)
Well that's my story. Even though
I never got the chance to be a
celebrity or become a trophy wife,
I am still happy. And you know
what, if I could go back and do it
again, I would do it all the same.
