Scene
Public House. 2012.
Two young men walk away from the bar in a Pub, Craig is
carrying a tray of drinks, the drinks are two pints of cider, and ten shot
glasses of a green coloured liquid. They sit down either side of a small table
for two. Craig is wearing grungy style scruffy clothes, Micky is wearing a
smart white dress shirt and black trousers, and is carrying a carrier bag. Both
men then start to place the drinks out in front of them on the table. They both
drink a shot glass each, and bang the glasses upside down on to the table, then
swig some of their cider.
Micky
Beautiful.
Craig
Looking into the air.
Fuck
Pause
Double fuck.
Micky
Ignoring Craig, and looking to his right
Look at her.
Craig.
Shit shit, double shit, I have to write a duologue.
Micky
Still ignoring Craig, and still looking to his right.
She is hot.
Leans down and gets a small bottle of vodka from his bag,
then quickly pours some of the liquid into his cider.
Craig
Leaning right
into Micky's face.
You are gonna die, die die die die. Dead, double dead.
Micky
Do you want some?
Craig
Yeah.
Pause. They both
stare at each other with their noses almost touching.
Micky
What’s a fucking duologue?
Craig
It’s a fucking play with two people talking to each other
about shit.
Micky
Like The Godfather?
Craig
What?
Micky
The Godfather, De Niro, and Pacino.
Craig
Brando and Pacino. And no that isn’t a duologue you fucking
sex crazed fuck, the Godfather had hundreds of actors in it.
Micky
Who were the other actors?
Craig
I don’t fucking know, but it wasn’t a fucking duologue.
Pause.
I was thinking a vampire and a zombie.
Pause. They both lean back in their seats.
Micky
Great idea.
Craig
No it’s not, it’s a shit idea.
Micky
Okay, it’s a shit idea.
Pause
Acting is a shit idea.
Craig
Welding is a double shit idea.
Micky
At least I can weld.
Craig
You won’t win an Oscar for fucking welding.
Micky
I might.
Pause. They then both drink another shot and slam the
glasses upside down on to the table.
Craig
Have you ever had an idea?
Micky
No.
Pause.
Yes.
Pause.
No
Craig
What if we get totally pissed tonight, and you help me work
on the duologue tomorrow?
Micky
That is why I fucking love you man.
Pause. Then shouts.
WEREWOLVES
Craig
And?
Micky
And, what?
