The Long Weekend Page #2

Synopsis: Cooper and Ed are brothers: Coop acts, in ads and soaps, spending his real energy chasing women for one-night stands. His younger brother Ed, an earnest young man, works in an ad agency. For the past year, since finding his girlfriend in bed with another man with a video camera running, Ed has been in a funk: he's carried a torch, his social life has tanked, and his work has suffered. Ed will be fired on Monday unless he can save a major account. It's his birthday weekend: he wants to work, but Cooper wants Ed to rediscover his sex life. Cooper works hard to help Ed score, but disaster piles on disaster. Can a decent guy save his job and get a life?

what they say.

It's called keeping the client nappy.

L know this is a new concept for you.

Remind me, how many have you lost now?

Four? Or is it five?

A big agency like BBLMFH&R

can handle a couple of lost clients.

Hey. What's going on?

Great Bridge Insurance

has withdrawn its account from us.

Oh, Sh*t.

I guess you heard the news, huh?

Nervous?

I have nothing to be nervous about.

I just stopped by to bring you this.

You know, just a little something to say

thanks for your help on

the Mclntyre account.

Wow.

Err... thank you.

That's great. I didn't mean the whole um...

There's nothing in it.

Oh, the box, that's the gift.

I thought you might need something

to clear your desk into on Monday.

You're not my boss. You can't fire me.

Ed, can I see you in my office?

Ed, when I first hired you,

you were like a dynamo.

You had an unusual way of looking at life,

and I liked that.

But after your intended did the dirty,

things have got a bit...

I never let that affect my work, Frank.

Well, let's see, shall we?

Sketchers shoes.

"Perfect for Kicking a man when he's down. "

Kahn's antiseptic.

"Not so good for when

she's ripped your heart

out of your chest and

thrown it in the trash. "

Yeah, but they're not all like that.

Here, look.

"Pacific Rim Telephone.

Only 3 cents a minute. "

Only 3 cents a minute?

"We can still make it work.

Just call for 3 cents a minute. "

- So, what are you saying?

- You're fired.

Aaargh!

OK.

What if I make Great Bridge stay?

What if I come up with a campaign

that will win them back?

We've had the whole creative department

on this for six months.

You think you can turn

that around by Monday?

Monday?

Yeah.

Yeah. I'm going to make 'em stay.

I'm going to come up with a campaign.

If you do that...

you cannot only keep your job,

you can have this office.

I'm not going to let you down.

- Where are we putting this?

- Roger's office.

Hey! Hey! Hey, put it down!

Put it down. I'm on the payroll st...

They took my coat!

Oh-ho!

Whoo!

Hey.

It is dead animals in the shaft.

What animals?

Uh... rats...

uh... mice, cats.

Cats?

The cats go in after

the mice and rats, and

then they get stuck, and

they starve and die.

Then they decompose, and the rotting flesh

releases the offending odour

that you're smelling now.

I see.

Try breathing through your mouth.

Try breathing through your mouth?

Could this day suck anymore?

Happy Birthday?

Owl Sh*t!

What are you doing?

It's your birthday.

I wanted to surprise you.

- What, by blinding me?

- Oh, come on.

That's what big brothers are for. Sit down.

Come on, I got some presents for you.

We're all set.

Open it up. Open it up.
