The Blackout Page #2

Synopsis: A rag tag band of idiots on the verge of signing a recording contract is sandbagged by their lead singer, Chas Knopfler, into throwing the mother of all parties the night before they embark on a world tour. Eddie Mesmer, the rhythm guitarist, awakens to find his drummer, Toss Dunbar, hanging from a tree like a scarecrow, and the house completely destroyed. Eddie and Toss quickly realize that A: they can't remember anything and B: there's a dead guy in the pool. Now, they have to figure out what happened the night before or their Rock and Roll dream is over. Their only hope is State Dependent Learning, which is the scientifically proven fact that information learned while under the influence of a given "substance", can only be recalled and used to solve a task when you are in the same state. Or in Layman's terms... They have to drink to remember. The prior night's debauchery comes back to them as they get Halfway to a Blackout against insurmountable odds. Will Bad Math realize they're g

[sighs]

Too late.

[in disgust]

[doorbell rings]

We've got company.

[humming]

What did he piss about?

He does play rhythm guitar.

I hate my life.

Jenny.

[doorbell rings again]

One two, cha cha cha...

Are you guys expecting

company?

Just few of our closest friends,

friend.

Really?

Really.

You invited them.

Oh dude, I invited some people.

We invited he invites some

people.

Wonderful.

Guys,

this just supposed to be

a dinner party.

Yeah, well uh,

we had dinner, so,

let's party.

Right!

[loud, rock music starts]

Get out of the way.

[music continues]

[screaming]

Key's in the kitchen.

You...Ah! I'm so glad you made

it.

I'll find you in a little while.

[greeting]

Get drunk.

[rock music continues]

Chas.

What?

I though We had a

understanding.

What happen to a quiet night

amongst friends?

Friends?

I f***ing hate you.

[laughs]

Jenny?

[loud noise descends]

[exhales]

That's it.

Movie's over.

Most of that was news to me.

Did we sign our contract last

night?

I have no f***ing idea.

Do you remember anything else?

I remember the Titans.

[empty bottle smashes]

[bottle smashes on the ground]

Toss?

Get the f*** over here.

[guitar notes]

Greatest,

party,

ever?

[laughs]

[guitar notes]

[bottle rolling]

Ahhh...

Dude, f***.

So we're f***ed,

and I'm going to jail.

Look at the bright side...

Did anyone ever die in Tommy

Lee's pool?

Yes.

-Exactly.

Ultimate street credit.

[laughs]

You can't buy that kind of...

What the f*** are you doing?

No no no,

we're not going to jail.

We're going on tour.

What the f***, man?

-Look,

we've got a team of corporate

lawyers to deal with this sh*t

now while we're on the road,

banging groupies two at a time.

Or, our public defender are

sitting around

with his thumb up his ass while

I've got a guy

ironically named Tiny up mine.

Give it...

[cellphone got tossed in the

pool]

Re-f***ing-lax bro.

We're somebody else's problem

now.

Are we, Toss?

Because we don't even know

if Reuben came over here last

night with the contracts.

[exhales heavily]

We can call Spencer.

Absolutely not.

Not after what he tried to pull

last night.

That much I remember clearly.

[party noise ascends and

descends]

Woo...

-Are you kidding me right now?

Hey.

Getting mad ain't gonna help.

But getting f***ed up will?

You know what?

I'm gonna wake Reuben up.

Because as usual,

his sobriety will come in handy.

-Ha!

Sobriety.

He's taken 12 steps at least a

dozen times.

[pounding on the door]

[whisper]

Whit a second, Toss.

We gonna talk about this.

[doors open]

Boys.

Your house is on fire.

I highly doubt that, Chuck.

[doors shut]

That was real smooth.

What did you expect me to do?
