A Night at the Roxbury Page #2

Synopsis: Despite being well into adulthood, brothers Doug (Chris Kattan) and Steve Butabi (Will Ferrell) still live at home and work in the flower shop owned by their dad (Dan Hedaya). They exist only to hit on women at discos, though they're routinely unsuccessful until a chance run-in with Richard Grieco (Richard Grieco) gets them inside the swank Roxbury club. Mistaken for high rollers, they meet their dream women, Vivica (Gigi Rice) and Cambi (Elisa Donovan), and resolve to open a club of their own.

STEVE:

(yelling over radio)

What?

She reaches in, shuts OFF RADIO -- starts filling out

ticket.

POLICE OFFICER:

This is a twenty-five mile an hour

zone.

DOUG:

Hottie cop likes you.

STEVE:

You serious?

DOUG:

You think she pulls over anybody?

Mave a move.

STEVE:

(turning to her)

What's going on?

POLICE OFFICER:

Not much, I'm just giving you an

eighty dollar ticket.

DOUG:

She is so into you.

POLICE OFFICER:

Can I see your license and

registration?

Steve pulls the documents off the sun visor, hands them

over.

STEVE:

(seductively)

I think I got what you're looking

for.

She takes it, walks back to police car. Doug adjusts the

rearview mirror.

POLICE CAR:

She's on the radio.

DOUG:

She's calling her friends.

STEVE:

Seriously?

DOUG:

Here she comes.

STEVE:

How's my hair?

She hands Steve the papers and a ticket.

POLICE OFFICER:

I want you to do me a favor.

STEVE:

Whatever you say, TJ Hooker.

POLICE OFFICER:

Please obey any and all posted

speed limit signs. Have a good

night.

STEVE:

It's already good, now that you've

served and protected me.

She laughs it off, walks away. Doug takes the ticket.

DOUG:

Way to go, my friend. You got her

badge number plus a month from now

you have a date to meet her at the

Municipal State Court. Up top!

DOUG/STEVE

Score!

They high five and PEEL OUT.

CUT TO:

EXT. FLORENTINE GARDENS DANCE CLUB - NIGHT

This is a very downscale crowd, crappy cars, surrounding a dilapidated building.

INT. FLORENTINE GARDENS CLUB - NIGHT

Completely packed. People are physically wedged up

against one another.

DOUG:

This is what it's all about.

A big SECURITY GUY plows through the area.

SECURITY GUY:

Folks, we got to keep this area

clear!

The crowd moves, sweeping the guys along. Doug and Steve

settle in a different spot.

STEVE:

There's a good feeling in here.

ANOTHER SECURITY GUY

People, there's no lingering by

the exits!

As it moves, Doug is engulfed in the crowd and

disappears.

STEVE:

Doug?... Hey, Doug!... Whoa!

Steve is shoved away as the crowd moves again.

DOUG:

jumps up and pops his head above the crowd.

DOUG:

Steve!

STEVE:

is wedged into a corner.

STEVE:

Doug!

DOUG:

pops up near the entrance to the men's room.

DOUG:

Steve!

DANCE FLOOR:

STEVE:

Doug!

CUT TO:

INT. MEN'S BATHROOM

Doug's face is wedged up against a mirror. He struggles

to pull a cellular phone put of his pocket and dial.

INTERCUT WITH:

DANCE FLOOR:

Steve is wedged against a blinking light. We hear a

cellular PHONE RING. Steve reaches in his pocket and

pulls out his phone.

STEVE:

Hello?

DOUG:

Steve, it's Doug.

STEVE:

Oh, hey, Doug. So, what's going on?

DOUG:

Not much. Where are you?

STEVE:

I don't know. Where are you?

Doug gets pushed up against a urinal.

DOUG:

There's a lot of guys pulling down

their pants, so it's either the

bathroom or the V.I.P room. Meet

me back at the bar. If I don't

make it, I'll see you tommorow at

home.

DOUG hangs up. O.S. we hear someone UNZIP.

DOUG:

(panicked)

Hey, just hold on a second.

Doug moves away.

INT. DANCE FLOOR - LATER THAT NIGHT

Two very bored club girls are standing up against a wall.

DOUG:

So, anyway, I'm standing there

waiting to use the pay phone...

STEVE:

Yeah, he was. Seriously.

DOUG:

And this guy who's on the phone

turns around and tips his hat like

this.

DOUG does a "tip your hat" motion.

STEVE:

And who do you think the guy was?

Girls still stone-faced.

DOUG:

Emilio Estevez.

STEVE:

The Mighty Duckman. Swear to God.

I was there.

DOUG:

(teasing)

Of course, you were. You're the

one who yelled the breakfast

clubber's name.

STEVE:

I was like -- 'Emilioooo!'

DOUG:

So, anyway... you guys want to

make out or what?

The girls stare at them.

CUT TO:

EXT. AM/PM MIN-MART GAS STATION - NIGHT

The guys pull up. Doug gets out and starts to pump gas.

DOUG:

Score some chippage. I'll meet

you in there.

Steve exits into the AM/PM. Doug notices a woman puttng

gas into her car. She feins a smile, looks away.

DOUG:

Hey!

Doug starts pulling the pump in and out of the gas

tank -- simulating copulation. She's repulsed.

CUT TO:

INT. AM/PM -- CONTINOUS ACTION

Steve looking at a bag of Pork Rinds. Doug comes up from

behind.

DOUG:

Hey, she's totally looking at you.

STEVE:

Who?

Doug motions toward the CASHIER. She snaps her gum and

is reading People magazine.

DOUG:

Ask her where the chips are.

STEVE:

But, I know where they are.

DOUG pushes him. Steve walks over to the Cashier.

STEVE:

Excuse me, I'm looking for the

potato chips. You know, chips

made out of potato.

CASHIER:

They're right behind you.

STEVE:

Wow, you really know what's going

on, don't you?

He turns away and pretends to look at the chips. Doug

gives him a thumbs up.

Richard Grieco enters the store and walks up to the

Cashier. She lights up, recognizing Grieco.

DOUG:

Steve, look.

Doug and Steve walk up to Grieco.

DOUG:

(trying to be cool)

Hey.

RICHARD GRIECO:

... Hey.

DOUG:

Remember us? We were at the

Roxbury.

STEVE:

(to Grieco)

We were outside?

Grieco turns to Cashier.

RICHARD GRIECO:

Could I get a pack of Marlboro

Lights and that 12-pack of

Trojans. Thanks.

Cashier rings it up, hands it to him.

CASHIER:

(obviously enamored)

Thanks.

Grieco exits, they all watch. Steve approaches Cashier.

STEVE:

Yeah, I think I'm gonna need a 12-

pack of Trojans over there.

CASHIER:

You know, they expire in two

years.

CUT TO:

EXT. GAS STATION - NIGHT

Doug and Steve watch Grieco's Ferrari drive off as they

sit on the car and eat Pork Rinds.

DOUG:

That nabob has got it going on.

STEVE:

(sadly envious)

Kickin' it at the Roxbury, rollin'

a banana Ferrari.

DOUG:

Tasty geisha by his side.

STEVE:

The man is a bag of chips.

DOUG:

(correcting him)

All that and a bag of chips.

STEVE:

Right. Well, we're doing okay. I

got a number tonight.

DOUG:

(thrilled)

Let me see it!

Steve hands him a cocktail napkin. Doug reads it.

DOUG:

555...? Steve, this isn't real.

It's one of those fake T.V.

numbers.
