Never Been Kissed Page #29

Josie, smiling, runs down the driveway to the limo.

EXT. COUNTRY CLUB - NIGHT

Prom night. And it really is magical. Twinkling lights dot

the trees, MUSIC wafts out from the club. A neon sign that

says "Meant For Each Other" blinks above the building.-

COUPLES make their way inside. We see MORK a MINDY, ANTONY

a CLEOPATRA and Sera dressed as a RABBIT. Annoyed, she

turns back to her lagging date, Brett, dressed as a

TORTOISE.

SERA:

Hello! If you don't hurry up we're

gonna miss the whole thing!

Gibby, Kirsten, and Kristen exit limos with their DATES.

They all wear the same straight blonde wig, and look at

each other in horror.

GIBBY:

Oh-my-God. You totally ripped off

my Malibu Barbie idea.

KRISTEN:

Uh uh. I'm Disco Barbie.

Kirsten's wearing a short, tight miniskirt.

KIRSTEN:

And I'm Evening Gown Barbie.

GIBBY:

Right. That's not an evening gown.

KIRSTEN:

It is on Barbie.

Josie and Guy approach, dressed in Elizabethan costume.

They look great.

KRISTEN:

Josie, you look Rufus.

KIRSTEN:

Who are you guys?

GIBBY:

Don't tell me... You're Medieval

Barbie.

JOSIE:

Rosalind and Orlando.

(nothing)

From "As You Like It"?

(more blank stares)

Shakespeare?

It's like talking to a sack of hammers. Guy interjects.

GUY:

Look! I get to have a sword!

And they all ooh and ahh.

INT. COUNTRY CLUB – CONTINOUS

WE FOLLOW Josie and the group into the prom. The place

looks amazing. Lights, ice sculptures, champagne fountains.

WE PAN DOWN the buffet.

A BOY dressed as a jar of PEANUT BUTTER and his date, JELLY,

are getting food. Peanut Butter turns away from the buffet

and bumps into a GIRL dressed as a CHOCOLATE BAR.

PEANUT BUTTER:

oh, sorry.

There's a magical beat as they smile at each other.

CHOCOLATE BAR:

That's okay--

Jelly looks on, chagrined.

We reach two OLDER GENTLEMEN in tuxes who carry clipboards

and wear big buttons that read: NATIONAL PROM JUDGE. They

contemplate the ice sculpture.

JUDGE #1

It's deft and unique without being

derivative.

JUDGE #2

(looking off)

Hey! Pigs in blankets!

And he runs off.

INT. COUNTRY CLUB - LATER THAT NIGHT

Josie sits with the COOL GROUP at a table. Kristen is making

odd faces.

JOSIE:

Kristen, what are you doing?

KRISTEN:

I'm practicing my surprised face

for when we get named to prom court.

JOSEPH and a very pregnant MARY approach their table and

try to sit down.

KIRSTEN:

Sorry. There's no room at this

table.

Joseph and Mary amble off. Guy turns to Josie.

GUY:

You having fun?

JOSIE:

(meaning it)

Oh yeah. The best. Josie takes in

the spectacle around her.

INT. GEORGE'S VAN - CONTINUOUS

Candles are lit. George's Date sits on the couch. The

monitor is on showing the JOSIE CAM POV.

He flips the switch, the lights dim and a small disco ball

starts moving slowly. George settles in next to his Date.

INT. GUS'S OFFICE - CONTINUOUS

The entire office is crammed into Gus's office. Anita sits

up front, spellbound, watching the JOSIE CAM. Gus stands

in back. Okay, he's a little interested too.

ANITA:

This is the most beautiful prom I

have ever been to.

Cynthia runs in with a bowl of popcorn.

CYNTHIA:

Did I miss the crowning?

MERKIN:

No, but I'm closing the pool in

five minutes.

Merkin holds out a bowl of cash.

MERKIN:

Josie's odds are 3 to 1. 2 to 1

for Prom court. And even odds the

kid sticks himself with the sword

by the end of the night.

INT. COUNTRY CLUB - CONTINUOUS

WE PAN ACROSS the dance floor where we see POPEYE & OLIVE

OYL, SONNY & CHER, the BLUES BROTHERS.

WE HOLD on ROBIN dancing with BATGIRL. BATMAN approached

and taps Robin's shoulder--

BATMAN:

May I have this dance-

And Batgirl steps aside--Robin and Batman dance happily

away.

ANGLE ON ROB TRYING TO SLOW DANCE WITH TRACY

(dressed like REBECCA De MORNAY), but she is so-drunk she's

having trouble balancing.

TRACY:

Are you having fun?

ROB:

Yeah. Definitely.

He tries to stand her up on her own.
