BRUCE *

It's just not a great time right

now.

GRACE:

Not a great time. What is that,

Grace heads down the stairs. *

BRUCE:

throwing me a party here, for

getting anchor. Let's enjoy the

ride for a whi le. We're just

starting to have some fun.

GRACE:

No, you're just starting to have

fun.

Suddenly, the TOILET FLUSHES off camera. Grace sees Sam in

the bathroom spraying some deodorizer before he exits.

GRACE:

And what in God's name is going on

with that dogI?

Grace pulls her cell phone .out of her purse, heads for the

door.

GRACE:

I'm going to have Debbie pick me

up.

BRUCE:

GRACE:

your little pa rty tomorrow. And if *

you would like to see me after I

91.

She starts out.

GRACE (CONT'D)

Oh, and that poor, struggling guy

you talked about? I miss him.

PARTY MUSIC UP:

INT. UPSCALE HOME - NIGHT

The PARTY OF PARTIES is in order. The place is jam packed

with co-workers, fellow reporters, and various news contacts

Everyone is in an ecstatic mood, many prayers having been

recently answered. We MOVE THROUGH THE PARTY and hear

snippets of various conversations.

BUSINESSMAN:

tripled in five days.

They clink glasses.

You seem taller.

HEAVYISH WOMAN:

Walking on his hind legs, delivers a cold beer to Bruce.

ON BRUCE:

Well on his way to plastered, takes a swig, then glances at

the beer.

BRUCE:

(to Sam)

Hello...

(pointing to bottle)

Corona. Lime next time?

92.

Sam walks away, his tail between his legs.

Bruce maneuvers down the hall dancing, high-fiving, drunkenly *

accepting the praise coming at him from all sides. *

PARTIERS:

There he is. . . The manI.. All

hail our new anchor!I

BRUCE:

Bless you. Bless you.

PARTYING SPORTS GUY

Hey Bruce, who do you like in the

game tonight?

BRUCE:

Put your money on the Sabers.

Coach prays a lot.

A FRENCH WAITER approaches Bruce.

FRENCH WAITER:

Ah, Mr. Nolan, we're running out of

hors doerves. I'm afraid we under-

ordered, sir. And the people are

hungry.

BRUCE:

What do you have left?

The Waiter holds up a small basket.

FRENCH WAITER:

Only three chips and two shrimp.

BRUCE:

(confident)

Just take it around.

The Waiter gets a confused look.

CUT TO:

CHIPS OVERFLOWING, SHRIMP SPILLING OUT OF BASKETS, HANDS

REACHING GLUTTONOUSLY FOR THE BOUNTY.

The Waiter walks along amazed as handfuls of shrimp and chips

are pulled from the small basket.

Partiers crowd around Bruce, start to chant.

93.

CROWD:

Speech! Speech!! Speech!

Bruce takes center stage, quiets the crowd.

BRUCE:

I ' d thank you all for coming, but

the liquor is free so maybe you

should THANK ME!

Everyone laughs.

BRUCE:

And now let me tell you a story.

There was a man who had two sons.

The younger son took his

inheritance and squandered his

money on a life of lust and

debauchery. I LOVE THAT GUY!!

Everyone throws their hands up and continues to party.

Bruce's big smile fades. He looks around the room, hoping to

spot Grace. He grabs a phone, walks out to the balcony,

di al s --

He gets their answering machine, hears their outgoing message

together from happier times. He hangs up.

FEMALE VOICE (O.S.)

Hey there.

Bruce turns, sees SUSAN ORTEGA, completely stunning in a sexy

dress.

SUSAN:

Hi Br uce. What are you d oing out

here all alone?

BRUCE:

Oh, ah, I was calling Grace.

SUSAN:

Yeah, I didn't see her in there. I

love the new place, by the way. So

how are you and Grace doing?

BRUCE:

I don't know, we had a fight

earlier. Ever since I . . Well,

things are different now and...

94.

SUSAN:

You're on fire Bruce. Some women

can't handle fire. Some can.

Susan smooths close to Bruce.

SUSAN:

You know, I always had an instinct

about you. I knew you were going

to make something of yourself.

BRUCE:

Really?

SUSAN:

There's something special about you

Bruce. I like special...

BRUCE:

Look Susan, I don't know, I--

Susan grabs Bruce, kisses him passionately. Bruce doesn't

join in, but doesn't fight it either. Then Susan unbuckles Bruce’s belt, takes off his pants and whispers to his ear.

SUSAN:

F*** me, I want you to f*** me.

Bruce gets confused, Then jumps onto the bed with Susan on top of him. Then takes off her party dress to reveal her sexy, naked body with her only wearing her tiny bra holding her big, round and jiggly b*obs. Then takes off Bruce’s shirt.

BRUCE:

what’s going on here?

SUSAN:

I wanna f*** you til you cum inside of me

Then Susan tongue kisses Bruce and has sex with him, wildly.
