1. PUB

Nigel is crooning romantically to Eve, who stares at him adoringly.

NIGEL: [SMOOTHLY] I’ve no excuse, Eve. I just want you to use me, take me and abuse me. Look at me, in the rain, calling out your name again... I know what I want, and I want it now, I want you, then I want a little more. Lift your hands and voices, free your mind and join us, you can feel it in the air. Do you have the time, to listen to me whine, about everything and nothing all at once? [BELCHES] Now, every day’s a holiday and all I do is dance.

EVE: Your point being?

NIGEL: [SCREAMS] OOOOH, I GOT A PARTY IN MY PANTS!

EVE: I’ll drink to that!

ANDREW: [FIRMLY] No, don’t drink THAT!

He grabs the bottle away from Eve before she can remove the lid.

EVE: Why not??

ANDREW: Eve, it’s bleach!

EVE: Sorry, Drew. Thought it said "Brandy". Or was it cider?

ANDREW: [COUGHS] The thing about cider is that you have to remember to breathe every now and then. I know it gets in the way but its important to remember.

They clink glasses together.

BOTH: Cheers!

EVE: Y’know, Andrew, I think that this is the last bottle of vodka. [LONG PAUSE] Oh, well, it was nice knowing it. [OPENS BOTTLE AND POURS A GLASS] She made the ultimate sacrifice so that I might drink.

ANDREW: There’s no more booze?

He peers at the bottles, but they swim in and out of focus.

ANDREW: Uh... [POINTS] Zero... what comes after zero? I forget. But... [SHAKES HEAD] This is bad.

On the table, Nigel opens one eye and closes it again.

NIGEL: [DRYLY] This room is still spinning. Take it away and get me a new one. NOW!

Dave tries to get up, but can’t. He looks mildly hysterical.

DAVE: My legs don’t work! I CAN’T GET MY LEGS TO WORK!!

EVE: Those’re your arms. Your legs are the walking things.

NIGEL: Um... am I the only one around here in the LEAST bit disconcerted about the room spinning so fast?

Andrew chuckles loudly and falls, face-down, onto the table.

EVE: [HAPPILY] Hey, we’re just in time for a sing-song! Andrew’s passed out but that’s OK – cause you’re my best friend ever!

Eve hugs Nigel. Dave laughs so hard he collapses.

DAVE: [SADLY] My leg’s STILL don’t work.
