СКАЧАТЬ my speeches. I'll be speaking about . . .

      CLARISSA TURNS THE PHONE OVER. SHE REMOVES THE BACK COVER.

      EMILY

      Is the battery flat?

      CLARISSA REMOVES THE BATTERY AND THEN THE SIM CARD. SHE PUTS THE SIM CARD IN HER POCKET.

      EMILY

      Clarissa?

      CLARISSA PLACES THE BATTERY BACK INTO THE PHONE, THEN CLIPS THE COVER INTO PLACE LIKE THE SMALL GADGET IS SOME KIND OF IKEA BMW FRESH OFF THE PRODUCTION LINE.

      CLARISSA

      Oh no. I seem to have lost my phone.

      CLARISSA TOSSES THE PHONE ONTO AN EMPTY TABLE SEVERAL METRES AWAY.

      EMILY

      Clarissa; how'd the message end? New York would be great but aren't you meant be going back to University of Utah soon?

      CLARISSA

      Speech on foreign affairs. I don't know if I really wanna go. It's up to you Emily. Tell you what; if we wanna prepare for this imaginary reality show you were talking about then we'll have to sample everything from the bar - so we know our favorite drinks.

      CLARISSA DOWNS HER TEQUILA SUNRISE.

      EMILY

      Ha. Clarissa!

      CLARISSA STANDS UP. SHE PLACES A HAND ON EMILY'S SHOULDER.

      Come on Em; let's purchase some more poison.

      EMILY

      Your call.

      EMILY DOWNS HER DRINK AND STANDS UP ALSO.

      EMILY

      Does this mean we're not sleeping tonight?

      CLARISSA

      You bet.

      THEY RETURN TO THE BAR.

      INT. NIGHTCLUB - LATER NIGHT

      (CLARISSA, EMILY, CITIZEN 1, CITIZEN 2)

      CLARISSA IS TIPSY. SHE TILTS HER HEAD TO THE LEFT AND WE SEE THE CLUB SCENE STUMBLE. IT ALMOST TRIPS.

      CLARISSA

      Emily - I don't don't like straight tequila. I don't like it because it makes my head tilt and I don't mind my head tilting but only when I tell it to . . . I don't want these slimy tequila tics in my head tellin' it how to hang.

      EMILY

      And I don't like vodka vermin.

      CLARISSA

      I don't like spin. I get dizzy.

      EMILY

      I'm gonna spin like a politician. Wanna dance?

      CLARISSA

      Girl . . . you . . . cannot even . . . stand and I'm so . . . off my head I'll be dancing like a poli . . .

      EMILY

      Like Boris Yeltsin.

      CITIZEN 1

      Yeah, so we just gonna sit back and watch as they fly more planes into our buildings?! Look son, that plane hit the Empire State dead on! What a shot. Which tower do you think they'll sink next?

      THE CAMERA PANS TO THE BAR AND CAPTURES TWO MEN, HEAVILY INTOXICATED.

      CITIZEN 2

      No no no! Why don't we fuckin' sit back and watch countries get bombed!? Look son, it's bye bye Iraq! Bye bye Afghanistan!

      CITIZEN 1

      Oh ok! So we let them all in!? Fuckin' open country! Bring all your n**** friends and t****heads and we'll all drink cocktails as we plan the next attack! Fuck it, we already got ourselves a n**** president!

      CITIZEN 2

      Obama's more American than you'll ever be, you fuckin' f*****! He's bringin' our troops back home, instead of leaving 'em there to rot.

      THE FIRST GUY STANDS. HE KICKS HIS STOOL TO THE GROUND.

      CITIZEN 1

      Don't you ever tell me I'm not American! I'm born and bred Texan. My parents are from Texas, my grandparents, their parents, their parents. Where the fuck are you from you fuckin' ape!?

      THE SECOND MAN STANDS.

      CITIZEN 2

      From right here in Utah for your information. And my son is in Afghanistan right now fighting for our beautiful country. And I'll exclude you from that "our" if you don't mind.

      CITIZEN 1

      Oh I very much mind!

      THE FIRST GUY PICKS UP A BOTTLE. HE CRACKS IT ON THE BAR. HE POINTS IT AT THE SECOND GUY.

      CLARISSA

      Em, tell the DJ I want "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)"!

      EMILY

      Clarissa! What are you doing?

      CLARISSA

      You know.

      CLARISSA WINKS. THE CAMERA'S SO SHY IT DOESN'T KNOW WHERE TO LOOK. A SECURITY GUARD RUNS TOWARD THE MAN WITH THE BOTTLE. CLARISSA HOPS ONTO THE STAGE. EMILY RUSHES OVER TO THE DJ. THE SECOND MAN TAKES TWO OR THREE STEPS BACK. THE CAMERA'S SPINNING BUT WHEN IT COMES TO A STOP ITS GAZE IS ON CLARISSA AND CLARISSA'S ON STAGE NEXT TO A POLE.

      A GUY HANDS CLARISSA A MICROPHONE. AND ALREADY SOME CURIOUS HEADS ARE TURNING. THE MUSIC STARTS. CLARISSA SINGS, WRAPS HER LEGS AROUND THE POLE, AND THEN PLANTS THEM BACK ON THE GROUND LIKE THEY'RE ELASTIC BANDS.
