HOT DATE

FADE IN:

INT. DUMPY APARTMENT LIVING ROOM - DAY
                                                            
The place is littered with empty pizza boxes and beer cans.
Laundry is piled on the floor.

EDDY (21), sits on a small rugged sofa staring blankly at
the World Poker Tour on a small TV perched on a makeshift
entertainment center.

The show cuts to a commercial. Eddy absently gazes around
the room.

Eddy stands up, tugs at his baggy sweat pants. He staggers
toward a closed door.

INT. DUMPY APARTMENT BEDROOM - CONTINUES

Sid is on top of SARA (22) humping vigorously. The small
bed SQUEAKS loudly.

The door opens, Eddy sticks his head into the room.
                                                            
                       EDDY
Hey Sid, you seen my bong?
                                                            
Sid continues to hump Sara.
                                                            
                       SID
I'm sort of busy here E.
                                                            
                       SARA
Get the fuck out you prick!
                                                            
Sid stops humping.
                                                            
                       SID
Hey you don't have to be rude.
                                                            
                       SARA
What? Are you serous?
                                                            

2.

                       SID
I already finished anyway. I'll
help you find your bong E.
                                                            
                       SARA
Are you kidding me! You finished!
                                                            
                       SID
I'll be right back. I'll do that
thing you like. You know... with
the...
                                                            
Sid smiles at Sara.

Sara pushes Sid off of her.
                                                            
                       SARA
Forget it!
                                                            
                       SID
I'll be there in a minute E.
                                                            
                       EDDY
Oh uh ok. I'll just wait out here.
                                                            
DUMPY APARTMENT LIVING ROOM - MOMENTS LATER
                                                            
Eddy walks around the room, looks underneath a pile of
clothes.

Sid walks into the room wearing only a pair of boxer shorts.
He has an obvious erection.

Eddy turns, faces Sid. Puts his hands up to his face to
hide his eyes.
                                                            
                       EDDY
Oh god man! You might want let
that thing deflate first.
                                                            
Sid looks down.

Oh yeah sorry man. I need to take
a leak.

Sid walks in, sees a large bong sitting next to the toilet.
                                                            
                       SID
There you are.
                                                            
Sid bends down, picks up the bong.
                                                            
INT. DUMPY APARTMENT LIVING ROOM - CONTINUES

Eddy stands in front of the TV.

Sid walks into the room holding the bong.
                                                            
                       SID
Eddy... Have you been hitin' the
bong while on the crapper again?
                                                            
                       EDDY
Oh yeah I forgot all about that.
                                                            
                       SID
I told ya man you gotta cut that
out. That's just gross.
                                                            
                       EDDY
I'm sorry man. Thanks for finding
her.
                                                            
Eddy takes the bong from Sid, cradles it in his arms like a
baby.
                                                            
                       EDDY
Look Sid I need you're advice. You

something.
                                                            
Eddy sits on the couch. Sid sits next to him, and puts his
hand to his chin in contemplation.

Eddy takes takes a bong hit.
                                                            
                       SID

Sid high fives Eddy.
                                                            
                       SID
That's my man!
                                                            
Eddy looks down at a wobbly end table next to the couch. The
base of a cordless phone sits on the table, the receiver is
gone.
                                                            
                       EDDY
Shit! Where's the phone?
                                                            
Sid looks toward the bathroom.

Eddy LAUGHS and nods his head.

in his arm. He wears his best polo shirt.

Sid cocks his head to the side.
                                                            
                       SID
120 channels and not one thing
worth watching.
                                                            
Sid flips the channel, a cooking show is on the TV.

Sid shakes his head.
                                                            
                       SID
Poor Eddy. If his brain was only
as big as his heart.

                       EDDY
You first.
                                                            

14.

Eddy's hands go to his crotch, he bounces his leg up and
down. He clinches his teeth and forces a smile.

Lisa pops a bite of chicken into her mouth, chews and
swallows.
                                                            
                       EDDY
Well, how is it?
                                                            
Lisa's face begins to turn red, her eyes tear up.
                                                            
                       LISA
Holy shit! Hh, hh, hh, hhot!
                                                            
Lisa picks up a glass of wine that sits in front of her and
guzzles it.
                                                            
                       EDDY
Well uh yeah it's a little spicy.
                                                            
Lisa fans her mouth.
                                                            
                       LISA
Spicy. I think it was spawned in
hell!
                                                            
Lisa stands up, turns and walks toward the refrigerator.
                                                            
                       EDDY
      (mumbles to
       himself)
Why is it still burning.
                                                            
Eddy fidgets, rubs his crotch. He begins to breath hard.

Lisa returns from the refrigerator with two bowls and a
gallon of vanilla ice cream.
                                                            
                       LISA
I have to cool my mouth down.
Christ how much hot sauce did you
use?
                                                            

15.

Lisa sits down, opens the ice cream and scopes out two
bowls. She sits a bowl in front of Eddy.
                                                            
                       LISA
Why are you breathing so heavy?
                                                            
                       EDDY
I can't take it anymore!
                                                            
Eddy quickly stands up, unzips his pants and grabs the bowl
of ice cream. He turns away from Lisa.

Lisa looks at Eddy astonished as she sees the bowl of ice
cream at his crotch.
                                                            
                       LISA
What the hell are you doing!
                                                            
Eddy sighs in relief.
                                                            
                       LISA
Get the hell out of here you
pervert!
                                                            
INT. DUMPY APARTMENT LIVING ROOM - LATER

                       SID
Hey E. How did the date go?
                                                            
                       EDDY

Eddy sits on the couch next to Sid.
