INT. OLD BULL - EVENING
Neil is sat at a table with Georgie and Holly. Holly is in her work uniform and eating a plate of chips. Neil is drunk.
NEIL
Gay bar? ! Dave ain't never
been to no gay bar!
GEORGIE
Yeah he has.
Last night with me and Katie.
Dave enters and sits down next to Neil. Neil moves over further away from Dave.
NEIL
Don't get too close.
I'm not like that!
DAVE
What's she been sayin'?
NEIL
Says that you took in
a gay bar last night.
(shakes his head in disgust)
DAVE
Yeah, it was alright.
NEIL
Ney! You don't know what
goes on in them places.
DAVE
Well, you won't until you
actually visit one.
NEIL
You won't get me
anywhere else but here.
(straightens up his jacket)
HOLLY
What if they change this place?
NEIL
Then I'll protest. Proper man's pub this.
Always has been. Always will be.
GEORGIE
Katie not out with you tonight?
What Neil says is subtitled on screen showing what he is actually thinking.
NEIL SUBTITLED
Ewe was startin' gettin' Katie was annoyed that I
hard work after a week, so called her so much she's
I've decided to ignore her. changed her mobile number.
I'm better off outta job. I'm gutted,
I really fancied her.
Dave laughs at Neil. Holly and Georgie look at each other like they haven't got a clue what Neil has just said.
GEORGIE
You take her home last night Dave?
NEIL
You took Katie home? !
DAVE
We shared a taxi.
I saw her when she was on
her dinner at work today.
She took your advice Holly.
NEIL
Can you lot not leave well alone?
She was a nice little lass until
you got your fishy mits on her!
GEORGIE
If you know so much Neil,
what advice did she take?
NEIL
Ney.
HOLLY
What does that mean?
GEORGIE
I don't speak pisshead!
NEIL
Ney! I'm mad as Don!
Neil exits with a third still left in his pint to the bar. Holly and Georgie laugh at Neil's waddle. Dave looks like the joke isn't funny anymore.
Dave is approached by GEMMA and ALIX. They are both around 18. Alix has large breast which are out on display and wears an engagement ring. Alix puts her left and hand on Dave's shoulder.
ALIX
Excuse me. Are you Dave?
Georgie looks up at Alix like she fancies her.
DAVE
I prefer 'Pissheads mate'!
GEMMA
Is 'Pisshead' who we call 'Showbiz'?
DAVE
Who's 'Showbiz'?
ALIX
Brown leather jacket.
Pint in one hand, paper in the other.
DAVE
Yeah, we're talkin' about
the same person. I'm Dave.
ALIX
We're Gemma and Alix, Katie's mates.
GEMMA
She's sent us a text sayin' that
she's not comin' out tonight.
ALIX
She says that she feels the best
she's ever felt before and it's
all thanks to Dave.
Neil enters with a full pint. He is struggling to stand up straight and is spilling the pint all over the floor. We see his flies are open and he has a piss stain on his jeans.
NEIL
What do you two want? !
GEMMA
You what?
Alix gives Neil a proper dirty look.
NEIL
Little shit stirrers', you two.
Fill Katie's yed wi' rubbish.
Neil taps the side of his head with his hand which is holding the pint, spilling about a quarter of his pint all over his brown leather jacket.
ALIX
Are you drinkin' that pint or waterin'
the fungus on your jacket with it?
NEIL
I'll water your yed wi' it, in a minute.
Alix gives Neil a look to as if to say 'go on, try it'.
GEMMA
Alix, come on.
Let's leave 'em to it.
Alix and Gemma exit. Neil sits down, looking pleased with himself. Georgie looks totally dejected that Alix has gone.
NEIL
I saw the buggers off.
You don't want to get
mixed up wi' that job.
HOLLY
D'ya even know who they are?
DAVE
I'm sure if I was a real man I'd go
after 'em and try an' chat 'em up.
GEORGIE
(stands up)
Right, I'll leave you women too it.
How do I look.
NEIL
Horrible!
GEORGIE
Cool. I'm off on the pull.
Don't wait up!
Georgie exits with a spring in her step. Neil tries to take a swig from his pint but ends up spilling it down his chin.
