Chapter 3

Eric's car pulls up to a flower shop.

Eric enters the flower shop.

Eric: Hi.

Florist: Can I help you?

Eric: (removing sunglasses) Yeah, can I have a dozen red roses, please?

Florist: Oh hi, Eric, I didn t know it was you. Here you go.

Eric: That's me! How much is it?

Florist: It'll be eighteen dollars.

Eric: Here you go, keep the change. Hi doggy!

Florist: You're my favorite customer.

Eric: Thanks a lot, bye!

Florist: Bye bye!

Eric exits with the roses and gets in his car.

Cut to Donna in the room, talking on the phone.

Donna: Yeah, delivery. 555-4828. Half Canadian bacon with pineapple, half artichoke with pesto and light on the cheese. Thanks.

She hangs up, and the doorbell rings.

Donna: Who is it?

Fez: Fez!

Donna: Hey Fez, how are you doing?

Fez: I'm fine. What's new?

Donna: Actually I m really busy. Do you want something to drink?

Fez: No thanks. I just want to talk to Eric. You look beautiful today. Can I kiss you?

Donna: You are such a little brat!

Fez: I'm just kidding! I love you and Eric.

Donna: Okay, okay. Eric's going to be here any minute. You can wait if you want.

Fez: I gotta go. You'll tell him I stopped by.

Donna: Of course.

Fez: Bye.

Donna: Bye, Fez.

Fez exits.

Eric's car pulls up.

Eric enters the basement.

Eric: Hi babe. These are for you. (he presents a bouquet of roses)

Donna: Thanks honey, they're beautiful. Did you get your promotion?

Eric: Nah.

Donna: You didn't get it, did you?

Eric: That son of a bitch told me that I would get it within three months. I save them bundles. They're crazy. I don't think I will ever get it. They betray me, they didn't keep their promise, they tricked me, and I don't care anymore.

Donna: Did you tell them how much you save them?

Eric: Of course, what do you think? They already put my ideas into practice. The Price Mart saves money, and they are using me, and I am the fool.

Donna: I still love you.

Eric: You're the only one who does.

Donna: At least you have friends. I didn't get any calls today. You're right. The computer business is too competitive. Do you want me to order a pizza?

Eric: Whatever, I don't care.

Donna: I already ordered a pizza.

Eric: You think about everything, ha-ha.

Donna: What's the matter? Are you alright? It s just a lousy promotion. You know what you need? You need a drink.

Eric: I don't drink, you know that!

Donna goes to the kitchen and emerges from the kitchen with scotch and vodka.

Eric: Ha-ha-ha-ha.

She mixes them to form scotchka.

Donna: Don't worry about it. It's good for you.

Eric: You must be crazy. I cannot drink this.

Donna: If you love me, you'll drink this.

She raises his glass to his mouth and he drinks.

Eric: You're right, it tastes good. A-ha.

Donna: I know. I am right. Don't worry about those fuckers. You're a good man. Drink and let's have some fun.

They drink. Cut to later, when they have had quite a bit to drink and Donna is now wearing Eric's tie as a headband.

Eric: Ha-ha-ha. A-ha-ha-ha. Mmm.

Donna laughs hysterically. Eric drops and shatters a glass.

Eric: You have nice legs, Donna. Ha-ha.

Donna: (laughing) You have nice pecs.

Eric: A-ha-ha. I am tired, I'm wasted, I love you darling!

Donna: Come on, make love to me.

Eric: Unhhh

Donna: Come on, you owe me one.

Eric: I love you, Donna.

Donna: I love you, Eric. (she rips open his shirt)

They make out on the couch.
