INT. OLD BULL - EVENING
Neil is looking drunk. Dave, Katie and Georgie are watching him closely.
The video to The Cribs song 'Men's Needs' comes on the T.V. Neil picks up his pint and proposes a toast to the T.V and takes a swig from the glass with his eyes bulging out as he swallows.
Neil starts singing along to the song extenuating his natural accent, taking the mick out of the Jarman's Yorkshire singing accent.
NEIL
'Has tha noticed, I've never
been impressed by tha's friends
from Nuy York un Lundun.'
Neil is oblivious to the others staring at him.
NEIL
Ales goin' down well tonight.
DAVE
You've earned it.
Neil takes a long look at Georgie looking her right in the eye. Georgie holds Neil's stare without blinking.
NEIL
Are you one of them byes actuals?
GEORGIE
Do you mean am I 'bi-sexual'?
NEIL
I don't care who you buy sex with!
Neil laughs to himself and finishes off the rest of his pint and stands up. Neil starts swaying about.
GEORGIE
No, I don't swing both ways.
Unlike you're doin' now.
NEIL
Don't talk so daft.
I'm doin' nowt o' t'sort!
Neil takes a few steps towards the bar and falls flat on his face. Dave stands up looking to see that he's okay. Katie tuts loudly acting like the let down girlfriend.
Neil manages to push his face off the floor and two BOUNCERS rush over to him and drag him to his feet.
BOUNCER 1
I think you need some fresh air.
NEIL
I'm fine. I can't even tell
I've had a drink.
The bouncers carry Neil out of the pub. Katie and Georgie look pleased with what has happened. Dave looks like he thinks that they have gone too far.
DAVE
You'd better follow him out.
Make it look more authentic.
KATIE
They won't let him back in will they?
DAVE
The guy can't even stagger,
let alone walk.
Katie stands up and exits. Georgie eyes the job up as Katie walks out of view. Dave keeps his attention on Georgie.
DAVE
I don't understand her.
You don't come out with someone
if you can't stand the sight
of them, do you?
GEORGIE
Got wet behind the ears comin' down
in the last shower, did ya?
DAVE
Why you insulting me now?
GEORGIE
She didn't come out to be with him
but because of who he'd be with.
DAVE
You on about me or you?
I saw you checkin' out
her arse then.
GEORGIE
It's alright, ain't it?
DAVE
If you say so.
GEORGIE
I think she wants you.
DAVE
She needs a hero, not a size zero.
GEORGIE
Well, he thinks that he's Katie's
hero but she'd give him 'zero'.
DAVE
What do you want me t'do about it?
GEORGIE
Give her one!
DAVE
Be serious.
GEORGIE
Why not? She's gorgeous.
Dave raises middle finger of his left hand.
DAVE
One, I don't really know the girl.
Georgie ignores the fact that Dave is being rude to her and lets him carry on. Dave raises his index and middle finger of his left hand.
DAVE
Two, it's obvious she's
not over her ex.
Dave raises middle finger of his right hand.
DAVE
And three, because you
don't know Neil, that's why.
Both Dave's hands are pointing directly at Georgie who grabs them and squeezes them forcing Dave to wince in pain.
GEORGIE
Why are you scared of the guy?
Georgie lets go of Dave's fingers who shakes them to relieve the pain.
GEORGIE
You're scared of everyone in your life.
DAVE
I'm not.
GEORGIE
He doesn't own her 'cause he's
bought her a few drinks and tried
to put his hand up her skirt.
DAVE
In his eyes between me
and him he thinks he does.
Look, to Neil, Katie is
his forever and forever.
Katie enters and sits down.
KATIE
What's "forever and forever"?
GEORGIE
Love.
DAVE
Death.
GEORGIE
Marriage.
DAVE
Divorce.
GEORGIE
Wearing the same jacket for better
for worse, till death us do part.
DAVE
(to Katie)
What do you think of his jacket then?
KATIE
Don't get me started on that!
Where did he get it from?
DAVE
His mum bought it for him.
Katie reacts to something at the bar.
GEORGIE
Has he come back in?
KATIE
No worse. My ex is here.
We see the back of two lads, late teens, stood at the bar.
DAVE
Do you want us to give you space.
KATIE
No way!
Dave reacts to something at the bar.
DAVE
Well, that's all I need.
KATIE
What's up?
DAVE
Sara, is also at the bar.
She's with her new fella,
but she always comes over to
check up on me.
GEORGIE
Another person you're scared of Dave?
KATIE
What you on about?
DAVE
She's try'na wind me up.
The battery must be flat
in her strap-on so she's
got nothing better to do.
GEORGIE
Shall we go elsewhere?
KATIE
What if Neil's still outside?
DAVE
It's worth the risk.
They all finish their drinks and stand up.
GEORGIE
You two up for a Gay bar?
KATIE
Sounds like a laugh.
DAVE
Erm...?
GEORGIE
I'll hold your hand.
Georgie starts to walk out of the pub holding hands with Dave with Katie following behind. We see a shot of Sara jealously fixated on Dave. Her boyfriend, Dean, 28, has to nudge her shoulder to get her attention back.
