A Night at the Roxbury

Synopsis: Despite being well into adulthood, brothers Doug (Chris Kattan) and Steve Butabi (Will Ferrell) still live at home and work in the flower shop owned by their dad (Dan Hedaya). They exist only to hit on women at discos, though they're routinely unsuccessful until a chance run-in with Richard Grieco (Richard Grieco) gets them inside the swank Roxbury club. Mistaken for high rollers, they meet their dream women, Vivica (Gigi Rice) and Cambi (Elisa Donovan), and resolve to open a club of their own.

CUT TO:
INT. PALACE - NIGHT
The CAMERA MOVES THROUGH a crowded dance floor -- and
SETTLES ON the rhythmically swaying backs of...
STEVE & DOUG BUTABI
Our heroes. In their minds, Steve is tall, dark and handsome and DOUG is a little genius. Neither is correct
-- except for the tall and little part.
They simultaneously turn and scope the room. In unison,
their heads bop to the MUSIC. Doug steps out from the
bar.
DOUG:
(to O.S. female)
Hey! You want to dance? No?
Yes? Alright, don't worry about
it.
Doug, rejected, steps back as Steve steps out.
STEVE:
(to O.S. female)
Do you want to dance? You do?
You don't? Not a problem.
They are no strangers to rejection, so neither is fazed.
Doug enthusiastically steps towards two attractive girls.
DOUG:
Hey, you wanna...?
Two attractive girls turn their backs to Doug.
DOUG:
(remaining positive)
No? Maybe I'll see you later.
Doug steps back. Steve spots GIRL AT end of BAR and
dances over to her.
STEVE:
Hey, do you want to dance?
GIRL AT BAR:
No.
STEVE:
(cheerfully)
Alright, you know where I'll be.
Steve steps back. Doug sees a pretty woman on a balcony,
waving to someone.
DOUG/STEVE
(pointing to each other)
You want him? Me? Him? Me?
Pretty woman waves them off, frustrated, and dissapears.
STEVE:
... Oh, you're okay?
DOUG:
Alright then.
They turn around to the bar, bartender is standing in
front of them.
STEVE:
Bartender, can I get a beer?
The bartender pays no attention and walks away. Second
bartender comes from the opposite direction.
DOUG:
Barkeep, what do you have on tap?
The second bartender ignores them, walks away. The
bartenders keep crossing past the, paying no attention.
STEVE:
Big guy, could I get a...
DOUG:
My man, how 'bout a...
STEVE:
S'cuse me, partner...
DOUG:
Yo, buddy, I was wondering... you
know what? Don't worry about it.
STEVE:
Yeah, we're good.
They turn back to the dance floor and bop. Suddenly, a
HOT GIRL dances in front of them.
Doug dances up behind her and frantically gyrates. She
turns away -- only to find...
Steve gyrating behind her. The guys close in on her
trapping her in the middle.
HOT GIRL:
Get off me!
She runs off, furious. The guys, unaware that she's
upset, celebrate.
STEVE/DOUG
Score!
