Boogie Nights

Day 2

SCENE: Limousine taking the CCGH staff.

JOHN: (on cell phone) I miss you already!

DEB: Does anyone realize that he's only said that a hundred times so far?

CLEO: Hey, White Boy! (slaps Carter) I don't have a thousand free minutes on that phone, you know.

JOHN: If I paid for it, would you still say that?

CLEO: You're probably using all your money on drugs.

JOHN: Just because I pop a few pills every now and then doesn't mean I'm a druggie.

Everyone begins humming and staring innocently into space.

JOHN: Right, guys?

No one looks at him.

JOHN: Deb?

DEB: No comment.

JOHN: Dave?

DAVE: (stuffing his face) Whokerkagl?

JOHN: Believe what you want. I'll have you know that I bruise very easily.

KERRY: Dave and Luka, I just want to thank you for almost sending us back to Chicago.

LUKA: Why are you blaming me? Dave was the one who suggested setting the plane on fire! Besides, I won the trip.

KERRY: Touché.

ROMANO: Yeah, what was that about, Malatucci?

DAVE: (burps) Whoa, that Bordeaux wine was good! Man, I gotta move on to wine-tasting….

ROMANO: Answer the question.

DAVE: (shrugs) Just a suggestion. I mean, God, you just put the words "fire" and "plane" in one sentence and everyone already thinks you're an arsonist…..

DEB: I believe your exact words were, "LET'S SET THE PLANE ON FIRE!"

DAVE: Maybe they were, but that wasn't supposed to mean anything.

PETER: Then what does?

DAVE: Hey, I never told you what happens when I get the urge to dance.

MARK: Do we want to know?

DAVE: I also sing crazy songs, say things I don't really mean -

ABBY: Then why didn't you just save us the trouble and become a dancer?

DAVE: I did that in college.

ROMANO: "Dave" and "college" in one sentence?

CLEO: That's scary.

DEB: Unless it was, "Dave didn't study in college".

DAVE: Maybe so, but let's not get into that.

MARK: You say things you don't mean? Damn, what's your excuse for the rest of the time?

DAVE: So-orry. Hey, Chief, pass me an éclair……

ELIZABETH: Luka, why did you go along with it?

ABBY: Yeah, you hadn't even consumed any Cherry Coke at that point!

LUKA: You want me to kick you out of the limo?

EVERYONE MINUS DAVE: NO!

LUKA: Then lay off.

KERRY: Hey, I didn't do anything.

JOHN: Look! A sign for the Blue Man Group!

DEB: Ohhhh! The Blue Men! I wanna see them!

DAVE: If you wanna see a blue man, you could just check me out in a scrub top.

DEB: No, really?

PETER: Yes!

EVERYONE: What?

PETER: Sarcasm! Yeah buddy! I GOT THAT!!!

Everyone claps. John giggles.

EVERYONE: What?

JOHN: Inside joke about the Blue Men.

LUKA: Oh, really? Care to share it with us?

JOHN: Cleo, I need to call Rena and ask if that's OK…..

CLEO: NO.

JOHN: Grouchy, grouchy.

BOB, THE CHAUFFEUR: There's a cell phone here in the limo you can use, sonny.

EVERYONE: NO!!!!

PETER: So…..what are the sleeping arrangements?

LUKA: (eyes pop) We have sleeping arrangements?

PETER: Shouldn't we?

LUKA: I'd say, first come, first serve….. four to a room max.

DAVE: I'm calling Jing-mei.

DEB: Kerry, save me!

KERRY: That did not sound right…… I'm surprised, he quit stuffing his face long enough to place dibs on you.

DEB: I don't care, SOMEONE else please room with him!

LUKA: Too late. My trip. Besides, I've always wanted to put you together. Next?

DEB: You did not! That's just your line.

LUKA: What the hell, I'll do the assignments. Kerry, you and Cleo in one room.

CLEO: Hey, hey, don't I get to room with Peter?

LUKA: Officially, no….

PETER: Why?

LUKA: Because you are rooming with Mark, Romano, and Elizabeth.

ROMANO: I always thought that if I roomed with Lizzy I wouldn't have to share her with two other guys.

MARK: You know what, pipsqueak? Of two out of three guys, she's gone out with everyone but you!

ELIZABETH: Oh my God my water broke!

MARK: AGHHH!!! Not when we're vacationing! (taps her belly) Daddy told you to wait!

ELIZABETH: Just kidding, sweetie.

LUKA: And that leaves Abby, but she's with me.

Deb grabs a slice of Corday's pizza out of Dave's mouth.

DAVE: Hey! I'm eating here!

DEB: Luka, how much did he pay you to make the sleeping arrangements?

LUKA: None, I swear.

DEB: Liar.

PETER: Pants on fire.

KERRY: Noooo! Not fire!

PETER: Sitting on a telephone wire.

JOHN: Wow, Reese's lullabies must have gotten to you.

ELIZABETH: Dave, you're eating my pizza!

DAVE: Ha! Second slice I've nicked and you didn't notice!

ELIZABETH: You eat like a pregnant woman.

DAVE: If that was a compliment, thank you very much.

ABBY: Have you noticed how many lines Dave has? Even when he's not eating?

JOHN: That's because Dave is the author's favorite character.

LUKA: Please don't tell me you're omnipotent for the rest of the trip.

JOHN: If you want me to, I can be.

CLEO: Then why aren't you the favorite? I thought you were!

JOHN: Because. That's the other author. Duh, don't you know anything?

DAVE: Awesome! I'm someone's favorite character?

DEB: I told you this was a show. (mumbles) Estupido…..

MARK: Oh! Hablas espanol tambien?

PETER: Nooooo! I thought that was over! (to Deb) Since when did you learn Spanish?

DEB: After "Independence Day". (sticks tongue out at Dave)

DAVE: Not yet, Jing-mei.

DEB: GRRRR! Oh my GOD! I'm rooming with HIM!!!

CLEO: See, Peter, I told you there were SO two authors.

KERRY: Here they come now!

LUKA: Kovacsgirl --- and who's this?

Enter Kovacsgirl and friend.

KOVACSGIRL: You don't remember my name?

LUKA: Ummm…. It's…

MARK: Deb! Ella lo sabe!

(DAVE: Translation: Deb knows…)

LUKA: Don't tell me! I forgot! Oh!….

KOVACSGIRL: Well, that's okay.

PETER: Then who's this?

GIRL (MALUCCIECA): It's me.

ABBY: That sounds like a knock-knock joke.

MARK: Mi favorito!

KERRY: Let's not go there.

MALUCCIECA: Come on, don't you know me?

DAVE: Oh, you!

MALUCCIECA: The one and only.

DAVE: That's not your name. Don't you have another? Isn't it -

MALUCCIECA: That's still me.

DEB: I know! You were one of the first people to start writing about me! Thank you!

MALUCCIECA: You're welcome. C'mon, Deb -

DEB: Don't call me Deb.

MALUCCIECA: But it says here ---

DEB: Yeah I noticed but DO NOT CALL ME DEB! Only Carter can do that!

MALUCCIECA: Jing-Mei, don't you know that there are others out there who would kill to room with Dave?

DEB: Like who?

MALUCCIECA: *whistles *

DEB: Room with him!

MALUCCIECA: Sorry, I can't. Mark Barry's next door to me.

ROMANO: Who the hell is that?

MALUCCIECA: I'll explain later…. All you need to know is that he's next door.

KOVACSGIRL: Oh yes, very important. If I can't find her to write some more, then I'll know where she is.

LUKA: So, where are you going to be? *Hint, Hint*

KOVACSGIRL: I promised myself I wouldn't get into trouble during this trip. Plus I have a date with a certain Nick Stokes...

LUKA: Who?

KOVACSGIRL: From CSI.

LUKA: What?

KOVACSGIRL: Don't you ever watch TV?

LUKA: Uh...I take the fifth!

JOHN: Not again!

MARK: Me llamo es Mark Greene. Yo soy Chicago.

ROMANO: My god, they really did tweak with his brain!

CLEO: Am I the only one not getting paid this time?

KOVACSGIRL: No-one's getting paid! Luka really won the trip.

LUKA: That's right! And I'll send you all back...

EVERYONE, SAVE DAVE: NOOOO!!! WE LOVE YOU LUKA!

LUKA: That's more like it.

KOVACSGIRL: So, did I hear someone say we have a cell-phone in here?

BOB: Yeah.

KOVACGIRL: Can I use it?

BOB: Yeah.

JOHN: I call it after K-girl!

DEB: GOD DAMNIT NO!

JOHN: All right, keep your shirt on.

DAVE: No, I think she should take it off!!!

(DEB slaps him with a random suitcase.)

DEB: Take that, and that, and that...

CLEO: HEY! That's my suitcase!

DEB: Too bad, we all had you anyway!

CLEO: Wh-wh-what? You all hate me?

EVERYONE SAVE KOVACSGIRL, WHO IS ON THE PHONE: *whistle*

CLEO: Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Peter, take them out!

PETER: Well, I was thinking...

DAVE: Go Peatie!

PETER: ERRRRRRRRRR! DON'T CALL ME PEATIE! YOU'E DAMAGED MY PRIDE MAN! THAT MEANS DEATH!

MALUCCIECA: NO! DON'T KILL DAVE!

KOVACSGIRL: Blah, blah (In Russian, as she is making a long distance call to St. Petersburg.)

CENSOR MONKEY 1: Hey, what's going on!

BOB: Yo, dudes, keep it down, I can't concentrate!

JOHN: Does anyone have some Phentonal, I mean a fan?

ABBY: I knew it!

ROMANO: You're still snipping drugs!

KERRY: Carter! How could you?

JOHN: No, it's not like that, I mean, I'm clean!

ROMANO: TAR AND FEATHER HIM!

KERRY: Yeah...What?!?!

KOVACSGIRL: Keep it---Who said John was a drug sniper?

(All point to ABBY)

ABBY: Well, I...

KOVACSGIRL: I should have known! I hate Abby!

ABBY: HEY!

KOVASGIRL: How could you do this to poor John. Can you hold on a minute Ev? (Sets down phone) Let me just erase this part...

MALUCCIECA: No!

KOVACSGIRL: What?

MALUCCIECA: Keep it in there.

KOVACSGIRL: The Censor Monkeys won't like it.

MALUCCIECA: Why?

KOVACSGIRL: I don't know... (Whispers) If you ask me, I think they're the ones who are high!

MALUCCIECA: Well, screw the Censor Monkeys!

KOVACSGIRL: Well... OKAY!

PETER: Wow, a half page of conversation between the authors!

KOVACSGIRL AND MALUCCIECA: SHUT UP!!!!

PETER: Christ, don't loose your shirts!

LUKA AND DAVE: YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

KOVACSGIRL: Oooookay. Uh, well I've got to go, I'm staying at the MGM grand, so here's my stop.

LUKA: You're not at our hotel?

KOVACSGIRL: Hell No! This place it much better!

DAVE: I'm hungry.

MARK: Si, yo tambien. Y tu, Elizabeth?

ELIZABETH: Um, I took French in high school, what did he say?

TRANSLATOR BAMBI: He said "Yes, me too. And you Elizabeth?"

ELIZABETH: Who the hell are you?

TRANSLATOR BAMBI: I'm "Translator Bambi." Specially programmed to translate Spanish!

PETER: You look like a Barbie.

JOHN (high): Look at all the pretty colors.

TRANSLATOR BAMBI: Oh, Barbie is a corporate sponsored toy. To cut back on legal costs, they made me!

ROMANO: Come sit on my lap, pretty girl!

KERRY: WHAT legal costs?

TRANSLATOR BAMBI: Oh, you know if they get sued...

KERRY: Who is "they."

TRANSLATOR BAMBI: Oh, Chico DeMille Publishing, Inc.

MALUCCIECA: K-girl's company.

EVERYONE, SAVE HIGH JOHN: OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

JOHN: Mommy, I don't want to take a bath!

LUKA: Good thing K-girl isn't here to see this... But I miss her so!

KERRY: You really like her don't you!

ABBY: I knew you didn't love me! Out of my sight!

LUKA: Do you want to go back to Chicago, without the airfare being paid. Or not flying at all?

ABBY: Oh, sorry.

LUKA: I LOVE all this power.

JOHN: Oh, Rena, of course you can *CENSORED*

CENSOR MONKEY 2: What? You don't think we want an NC-17 fic on our hand do you?

BOB: Here we are at your hotel!

EVERYONE: OHHHHHHHHHHH! AWWWWWWWWWW!

FAN FICTION FAIRY: That's AWE, not AW!

EVERYONE: AWE!

FAN FICTION FAIRY: Why do I even try?
