INT. SIMON'S LOUNGE - NIGHT

SIMON is sat on the sofa flicking disinterestedly through a magazine. ANNA and JOE walk into the lounge.

ANNA: Bye, Simon, see you later.

JOE: Yeah, don't wait up for us.

SIMON: (sighs) Yeah, bye.

ANNA and JOE exit through the front door. SIMON carries on flicking through the magazine. The door-bell begins to ring. SIMON puts down the magazine and goes over to the front door.

SIMON: (mutters) Forgotten to take your keys with you, have we?

SIMON looks through the spy-hole. A pleasant-looking lady in her early forties is stood outside carrying a laptop and a bottle of wine. SIMON's eyes widen in delight. SIMON looks into the mirror next to the door and checks his appearance. SIMON rubs a finger over his teeth and then checks his breath by breathing into his cupped hands. The door-bell rings again. SIMON opens the front door, grinning cheesely.

SIMON: (trying to act cool) Rachael! Hi!

RACHAEL: Hello, Simon. Is it still okay for me to copy up those psychology lecture notes from you? I can't believe I've deleted them.

SIMON: Yeah, sure. Come on in.

CUT TO:

INT. SIMON'S KITCHEN - NIGHT

RACHAEL hands the bottle of wine to SIMON.

RACHAEL: Just a token of my appreciation.

SIMON smiles and puts the bottle of wine into the fridge.

INT. SIMON'S KITCHEN - LATER

RACHAEL is sat at the kitchen table in front of an open laptop. SIMON is stood behind her. SIMON leans in close to RACHAEL, takes hold of the mouse and does a few clicks on it.

SIMON: And so with B.T.'s new Cougar drive, you can save your files and documents directly into it, so if you ever lose or accidentally delete any of them on your P.C., you can retrieve them again in an instant.

RACHAEL places her hand over SIMON's hand that is holding the mouse.

RACHAEL: You're a life-saver, Simon. However can I thank you?

SIMON: (his voice slightly higher than normal) Er...cup of tea?

SIMON walks over to the fridge and takes out a pint of milk. RACHAEL goes over to the fridge and takes out the bottle of wine.

RACHAEL: (smiles) Something a little stronger perhaps?

CUT TO:

INT. SIMON'S LOUNGE - MUCH LATER

The front door opens and ANNA and JOE walk in laughing and talking loudly. The lounge is in darkness. ANNA switches on the light. SIMON and RACHAEL are snogging on the sofa but jump apart when the light is switched on.

ANNA: (gasps) Simon!

SIMON: (casually) Er, hi guys. This is Rachael...er, you know, from uni.

JOE: (shocked) Oh my God. It's just like my mother and Adam all over again.

RACHAEL stands up and turns to SIMON.

RACHAEL: (seductively) I'll see you tomorrow...tiger.

RACHAEL picks up her laptop and exits through the front door, grinning.

SIMON stands up from the sofa and faces ANNA and JOE.

SIMON: Er, I was just showing Rachael how the new Cougar drive from B.T. works.

ANNA: Giving her the benefit of your vast experience, were you, Simon?

SIMON: (raises one eyebrow ala Roger Moore) Well, let's just say that she was more than satisfied with my demonstration.

V/O: The new Cougar drive from B.T. - it's got lots of 'byte'.

THE END

DISCLAIMER: The Cougar drive from B.T. is just a figment of the QPM's vivid imagination and doesn't actually exist, so don't go phoning B.T. up enquiring about it! Comprende? :-D
