(Martin phone message voice over: Hey it's me)
(I am going crazy)
(I need to get out of here for a while)
(Can you meet me for lunch or something?)
Hello there
I thought you didn't want to be a waiter
Well sometimes we all have to do things we don't want to do
I could see if they need another server
I wouldn't want to make you look bad Benny
Waiting for someone?
Ted
AH my competition!
What does that mean?
Hey!
My cabaret is coming up
'Strange and Surprising'
Take a postcard and come!
And have a menu!
(door opens)
Hey
Hey
Sorry I'm late
This new campaign is awesome but very consuming
Oh
But here I am
I'm sorry I didn't know
That's ok on the phone you sounded a little bit distraught
Alone, desperate
Pathetic, all those things
So I just wanted to make sure you were ok
Oh
(Sighs)
Thanks
I like this hoodie tee-shirt combo
Really brings out your eyes make em pop
Oh thanks
So any job prospects?
No but I've decided to go on unemployment
And do a little writing
Yeah of course right? Gotta use it
Uh I didn't know you wrote anything besides reviews
Oh yeah years ago I had started writing a play
So I thought I might try to finish it
Ah that's a big deal
Yeah
Uh what's it about?
Oh um God it's about lots of things um
It's about a guy, stuff happens, happy ending
Sounds big!
(phone rings)
Ok I should take this
I will be right back
Hello?
Yeah, just starting lunch with Martin
We haven't decided yet Benny
Actually I was wondering if your memory came back?
What?
What are you talking about?
Last week? I got you home safely...
Your living room floor...
Oh Lord
Take your time with the menu
OK this is the Martin show and it's starring you
Hi
Sorry about that
It's alright
Is that your girlfriend?
NO that was Henny
She's not my girlfriend...yet
But it's going well right?
We've only been together a week
I mean yes
I don't know
Well I just haven't seen much of you lately so...
I know right?
It seems like I've been unavailable
The campaign, Henny...
Everything's taking off
Like Val and Eddie right?
Oh
The baby?
Huge, love it
Right?
I think it's great but Val seems totally freaked out
I know Eddie is still trying to wrap his head around it
Maybe we should see if they want some company
If you have the time
Yeah great idea of course I have the time
Oh yeah?
But uh I'll get back to you with like a couple options
Great you'll have your people get in touch with my people
Anyway we're burning lunch maybe we can order
Hi Ted you're looking...
Cute today as always
Thank you Benny
You're looking fit
I'm not so bad looking for a hobo
You're not so bad looking for a hobo

Coming right up men!
Less underlying tension
Is he growing on you?
Yeah
Like culture in a petri dish
So uh the campaign
Oh! Yeah it's a huge soft drink campaign
We're targeting women twenty-five to fifty-tour
Uh huh
We see it as lifestyle as opposed to just beverage market you know?
We're looking at cycle graphics

(Two)
(No not two words?)

(Uh chalkboard)
(I don't know, apple tree!)
(It's painting? Climbing up a ladder?)
(Are you even trying to play?)
(Laughing: Pippi Longstockings!)
This game always makes me feel *** stupid
Don't even open your mouth Martin!
Would anybody like a drink?
I cannot have one but I sure as heck would like to see
Somebody else do it!
I would love another martini
Oh really? After last week I thought 'never again'
I want ya to Scotch me
Really? Scotch?
Every time we've gone out for the last four months
You've had beer and now all of a sudden you're drinking Scotch?
You kind of get used to that after all those
Corporate lunches and dinners out
Hm you think you know a person
Just be careful with the brown stuff
Makes some men mean
Was that mean?
No it was adorable!
I'll have a beer honey
Oh I'll help!
You'll help
(pouring wine)
So how's pregnancy feeling?
Uh to be honest I'm scared out of my skull
But it's so exciting!
But it's crazy you know?
I'm gonna have a kid but I still feel like a kid
Well good then you'll be able to relate to it!
I hope so
Oh uh Eddie how's work my man?
Did you hear about the promotion yet?
Promotion?
Note to Ted: When I say don't tell anybody it means
Anybody
I'm sorry man
***
Oh you swear now too
So a promotion Eddie? That's great!
These wonderful things are happening for everybody
How did it happen?
You know that little incident that I had?
When your balls got shot
Shot at!
They asked Ed to take the test for detective!
Wow
That's great Eddie. Thats...
So how have you managed to be the only woman in this group of men?
They're like my brothers
And sometimes my sisters
You mean Martin?
I mean he's kind of intense
I feel like I'm dating his wife or something
So why couldn't you tell me?
I mean I'm a big boy you can tell me
Why couldn't you tell me about the promotion?
Because we didn't want to make you feel bad
I mean you're kinda in the *** right now
Uh I'm unemployed and I'm single
And everyone has wonderful things happening to them
And I'm a grade A loser!
It's not as bad as that Martin
Oh yeah? What would you know about it?!
You're all swearing and drinking Scotch and scoring with the babes
And landing accounts
Dude you're gonna get back on your feet soon Marty ok?
Yeah is that what you think detective daddy?!
While I sit there everyday staring at a computer
With writers block!
What the hell is going on?!
Apparently last week I got so desperate I tried to kiss Benny!
You did?
***
Yeah ***!
I'm turning into *** Charlie Brown with a permanent
Black Cloud over my head!
My friends have replaced me!
I'm all alone! I have no job!
And where the *** is my *** drink?!!
Oh God oh *** OH!
(drink spills)
Sorry
