Something Borrowed Page #3

KAT:

Hardly. My family moved to England

when I was fourteen. My stepdad’s

a professor at University College,

London.

(beat)

I’m going back for my sister’s

wedding...and the best man’s my ex.

In case I chicken out, I want to

know where all the exits are.

Kat eyes the front door, nervously.

PRETTY WOMAN:

I don’t believe in marriage. I

believe in hot sex. Of course,

that draws men to me like flies to

sh*t.

Kat doesn’t know what to say, but then a HOT GUY walks up the

aisle. Kat looks at the empty seat next to her and smiles at

him. He returns the smile but sits next to the Pretty Woman.

HOT GUY:

Hello, my sweet darling.

He gives the Pretty Woman a “madly in love” kiss. The Pretty

Woman rolls her eyes to Kat -- what did I tell you?

INT. GALLEY - PLANE

Kat is hiding out. She tries to calm her nerves as a MALE

FLIGHT ATTENDANT pours her a cup of water.

KAT:

I’m not a knuckler. I fly all the

time. In fact, I transferred from

Heathrow two years ago and now I

run Bags and Nags here at Kennedy,

so things are going really well for

me. The reason I can’t feel my

legs is that any minute, my date is

going to walk in that door. And I

need him to look really, really

good today.

MALE FLIGHT ATTENDANT

(not listening)

I wish I couldn’t feel my legs.

Kat peeks around the corner and spots the back of the

mysterious MAN from the opening as he loads the overhead bin

above Kat’s seat. Kat gasps, ducking back.

KAT:

Oh, no. He’s here.

The Male Flight Attendant looks out at the Man, who leans

against Kat’s seat as he chats with a FEMALE FLIGHT

ATTENDANT. Kat’s in a panic.

KAT (CONT’D)

What do you think? Does he look

hot, and is it the kinda hot

that’ll translate overseas?

MALE FLIGHT ATTENDANT

I resent your stereotyping of a man

in my profession but...

He checks out the guy again.

MALE FLIGHT ATTENDANT (CONT’D)

...darling, he’d be hot on Mars.

I’d like to unwrap him like a

Harrod’s gift basket.
