The Blackout Page #8

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

[crowd cheering]

-But, but but Reuben...

But what?

Listen, okay?

Just think this one through.

Please!

[sighs]

Fine.

You're fired.

[heavy guitar notes]

Bullshit!

You don't know how to wake up

without me.

You know, that sounds a little

gay.

Have your office cleaned out

by the time I stroll in around

noon tomorrow.

Oh man. You gonna f***ing

regret this, old man.

That is a promise!

Officer, I'd like a restraining

order against this guy.

Hey hey hey...

-Jesus.

Mr. Adler, hi, um...

Can I hit him?

[heavy bass solo starts]

I don't know.

Can you?

[music ascends]

[heavy punch]

-Yeah!

Nice shot!

-Huh?!

Chuck he says this man in the

pool, is his um,

lover, Geoffrey.

We got into a fight.

He must have gone on one of his

bender and...

There there, Chucky.

I know how hard this must be for

you.

Why don't you do sit down.

Go ahead, go ahead...

Apparently, the deceased was in

for questioning.

I'll let you out quicker than

Lindsay Lohan.

Don't worry, boys.

Hey.

Thank you.

You, kinda save the day.

Thank Chas. actually.

[gentle guitar music plays]

Rhythm guitar, Eddie.

You are only rhythm guitar.

We do have the worst timing.

[scoffs]

We both wanna lead.

And you know that I wouldn't

make uh...

that mistake twice, right?

I know.

I'm sorry.

Jenny, I'm sorry for all that.

[both sigh]

Me too.

So,

what now?

Go on tour. And um...

I'll be here when you're back.

One of those,

if it's meant to be, it's meant

to be type of deals, huh?

Yeah, I guess so.

[sighs]

This is all so very...

Rock and Roll.

[sighs]

Ha.

[heavy slaps]

Ow...

Hoo...
