The Blackout Page #7

Synopsis: A rag tag band of idiots on the verge of signing a recording contract is sandbagged by their lead singer, Chas Knopfler, into throwing the mother of all parties the night before they embark on a world tour. Eddie Mesmer, the rhythm guitarist, awakens to find his drummer, Toss Dunbar, hanging from a tree like a scarecrow, and the house completely destroyed. Eddie and Toss quickly realize that A: they can't remember anything and B: there's a dead guy in the pool. Now, they have to figure out what happened the night before or their Rock and Roll dream is over. Their only hope is State Dependent Learning, which is the scientifically proven fact that information learned while under the influence of a given "substance", can only be recalled and used to solve a task when you are in the same state. Or in Layman's terms... They have to drink to remember. The prior night's debauchery comes back to them as they get Halfway to a Blackout against insurmountable odds. Will Bad Math realize they're g

Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa.

[runs on roof]

Wait a second,

you're telling me,

Chas really is half gay?

You know I may have a small

cocaine and hooker problem.

apparently you like

getting pumped

more than a pair of Reeboks.

No. Apparently "Jagermeister" is

German

for "makes me kiss boy".

Enough. Where's the girl Reuben

left with?

Layla? Anybody have

her number?

I'll suck your dick.

Just give me the crack.

I don't get digits,

Last night must be an exception.

Hey boys, take it easy.

Okay, okay.

[water splashes]

[breathes in deeply]

Son of a b*tch!

Lookit, lookit what I found.

You found the briefcase.

What the sh*t do you care?

You should care. It's Hermes.

Oh, what kinda party are you

having,

why wasn't I invited?

Hola, I'll take that.

This is company property if I'm

not mistaken, right Officers?

A long as it doesn't contain any

evidence pertaining to the body.

At least I get one phone call.

I just hope she answers.

I'm far too f***ing pretty

for jail.

How am I suppose to get drugs

in the clink?

I just wanna to rock one stadium

with you guys. Once.

You guys will sh*t yourselves.

And your pants.

So every time I ever get shot a

big time...

You sh*t yourself, Gunther.

[gavel hits the case]

That douche bag is right.

Right now, I'm a f***ing loser,

Eddie quit the band,

Toss needs rehab.

-I don't need rehab.

Rehab need me.

Chas is Chas.

I'm so over the hill, when I

look back, it's a mountain,

but I do know this.

We play nice.

Even though we have no idea

how to play nice.

[soft music notes]

Eddie,

out of my six shots, rock

stardom,

this is the only time, one time,

I thought I had a legit chance.

That's because you write the

music.

I mean it.

Well,

I'd rather go to jail than go on

tour with you selfish pricks.

Fine. You wanna quit the band?

Quit the band, kiddo.

Bands come and go,

but this is more than a band.

And these pricks,

as selfish as they are, would

never quit on you.

So who's in?

Amigo!

Ow...

All we need,

is somebody to write us couple

of really great song.

[whisper]

Come one.

Come on!

It's definitely dysfunctional.

But it's family.

[laugh together]

I love you guy!!

-Yeah!

Come one!

[kisses]

Stay away from the pretty one, I

think it's contagious.

[cracks the case]

David Bowie!!

[cheering]

Yeah!

Oh my god. No!

[peeing]

Hello boys.

Jenny?

What are you doing here?

-Here to help.

[cries]

I had my whole life ahead of me.

Look who strolled into

the office a hour ago.

[rock music starts]

[footsteps]

Reports of my death have been

greatly exaggerated.

I can't live without you.

I can't pay rent.

You thought that guy was me?

[scoffs]

I'm way better looking

than that.

Wait, are you Reuben Adler?

In the flesh.

Then who the f*** is that?

Why god? Why Geoffrey?

I better be in that will, you

motherf***er.

No call, no email, no text.

Man, boss, we've been worried

sick about you.

I'm sure.

Is that why you tried to

exercise power of attorney?

Yeah, I was trying to protect

your interest.

Yeah. We're gonna need a

statement from Chuck.

We're gonna need a statement

from you as well, Mr. Adler.

We were carjacked.

It was awesome.

Made us realized how short life

could be. So...

I chartered a plane to Vegas.

Guys, meet the fifth Mrs. Reuben

Adler!

Come here, baby.

Wow.

[chatter]

While I'm alive,

why is my favorite band still in

handcuffs?

There still is a matter of the

dead body we found in the pool.

The only offense

they're guilty is,

throwing the

greatest party ever.

[crowd cheering]

Dd da da. Take them off.

Reuben,

the company could face a major

lawsuit.

Ah...

Maybe we should consider

cutting our losses here?

Are you shitting me?

You can't buy press like this.

We'll go platinum in a week.

Days!

-Hey hey hey hey.

Are you sure they are not more

trouble then they're worth?

Spencer,

you have a horrible f***ing

taste.

[together laugh]

Is that my Hermes briefcase?

[electric guitar solo]

Why is their contract covered

in...

piss?
