FADE IN:
CLOSE ON:
KATE HANNAH -- late-20s, pretty and wholesome and,oh yeah, piss drunk. She stands on a tiny
KARAOKE STAGE:
*
in the far corner of a half-empty dive bar.
Kate holds a MICROPHONE and dances as she SINGS a bad karaoke
version of “SONG TO BE DETERMINED.” What Kate lacks in talent
she more than makes up for with charm and enthusiasm.
At a table near the stage is ---
CHARLIE HANNAH:
Kate’s husband, late-20’s, scruffy buthandsome, also pretty damn drunk. He enthusiastically clapsand points to Kate, making up a cheering section along with ---OWEN HANNAH -- Charlie’s younger brother, early-20’s --
the small but energetic CROWD.
Kate begins to ramble between verses -- and gleefully pointsto Charlie and Owen. For the moment, this drunk girl is theQueen of Karaoke.
LATER:

2.
Kate finishes the song and drunkenly tumbles off the stage to
join Charlie and Owen.
CHARLIE:
That was so good, baby!
KATE:
Bullshit.
CHARLIE:
I’m serious. You sing like an angel
-- a drunk angel.
Owen and Kate LAUGH.
KATE:
performance for your blog, what
would you say?
CHARLIE:
I’d say that, uh...my wife is the
sexiest, most amazing woman alive.
KATE:
That would be such a shitty article
Kate and Charlie laugh and kiss -- and then Kate glances at
Owen and makes a puppy dog face.
KATE (CONT’D)
(to Owen)
Aw...we need to find you a lady,
Owen.
OWEN:
Yeah -- I’ve been trying to flirt
with the bartender, but...I can’t
tell.
Owen motions to the -
-- FEMALE BARTENDER, early 20’s. *
KATE:
She’s hot! What can’t you tell?
OWEN:
She looks like she could kick my
ass. No way would she go for a guy
like me.
3.
KATE:
You’re being a little girl -- just
go talk to her.
OWEN:
(clearly shy)
I don’t know...forget about it.
KATE:
(not going to take “no”
for an answer)
Kate stumbles to the bar. Charlie and Owen follow. Kate puts
her arms around Owen and gets the attention of the bartender.
KATE (CONT’D)
I want to buy a gimlet for me and a
double-shot of whiskey for my
brother-in-law ‘cause he’s had a
hard week.
FEMALE BARTENDER
‘Kay.
The bartender quickly pours the drinks.
FEMALE BARTENDER (CONT’D)
That’s fifteen.
KATE:
Wait -- don’t you wanna know what
happened to him?
The bartender rolls her eyes and checks around the bar to see
if there are other customers. It’s pretty dead -- so she
listens.
FEMALE BARTENDER
(unenthused)
What happened?
KATE:
He just got back from England --
because he went there for a girl! A
preppy, bitchy girl. Diane
Court...that was her name. He loved
her so much that he went with her
because she had a fellowship or
something. He gave up being a
kickboxer. A kickboxer! *
(sad)
And she dumped him.
4.
The bartender sizes up Owen. The trio waits with anticipation
to hear her response, which is -
FEMALE BARTENDER
(to Owen)
You kickbox?
OWEN:
(caught in the headlights)
Yeah.
And...that’s all Owen’s got.
KATE:
(jumping in)
And he teaches kids at the
kickboxing studio. Oh, they’re so
cute!
The bartender glances back to Owen.
OWEN:
(finally)
A lot of ‘em don’t have parents --
so...it’s kinda more than just a
teacher/student thing.
(beat)
I know it sounds silly, but I feel
responsible for them -- like...
(emotional)
Kate slides down the bar to Charlie.
KATE:
(hushed)
I think I got him laid.
CHARLIE:
Yeah?
KATE:
CHARLIE:
Sure she just didn’t want to get
into your pants?
