Last Call: a comedy of love and liquor
By John Rohner

FADE IN:

Alarm clock (ringing) before being hit by a hand showing the time 4 pm.

Start credits, song

MAIN, hungover, stumbles into the bathroom.  Looks at image in mirror while urinating
Stumbles out of bathroom to closet, pulls out one of several white dress shirts, and puts it on.  Continues to dress and looks ready when realizes he put on shoes but no pants.  Sits on the bed to put pants on when a surprised GIRL sits up.  Main is visibly alarmed but keeps his cool

MAIN
Fu--! Um, oh hi, a-a?

GIRL
Helen!

MAIN
Yep..uh..Need a ride somewhere?

End credits, song

MAIN'S P.O.V.-in car driving up to brightly colored building with a lot of parked cars and a sign reading: Ascention Lounge.  Music is playing on radio.  Car parks and music stops as Main exits and peacefully walks to the door.  When door opens a carnival of lights, music and moving people.  

CAMERA FOLLOWS-Main walks through the crowd zigzagging and stopping occasionally by hugging women or to shout something to someone.  Walks past a playing band who acknowledge him and then alongside a long bar slapping the bartender a high five.  Past the bar and in through swinging doors into kitchen where he waves at the cook and tastes something then into the cooler which closes with a seal.  In silence, he grabs a beer and chugs it within seconds followed by a loud satisfied belch.  Enter MANAGER

MAIN-casually
Hey Mr. Manager, what's up?

MANAGER
What's up?! You're late!

MAIN- (placing empty beer on shelf, casually walking past Manager)
That I am.
