DATE NIGHT
Synopsis:
Scott waits patiently for his wife to meet him for dinner at a
restaurant, when a "strange woman" attempts to seduce him before
she arrives.
INT. RESTURANT - EVENING
SCOTT is sitting at a table at the resturant. He is looking around like he is waiting for
someone.
MARY walks into the resturant. She scans all of the full tables and frowns. She spots
Scott sitting alone and grins. She walks up to him and sits down next to him.
MARY
Hi, is anyone sitting here?
Scott is taken off guard and gives her a weird look.
SCOTT
Actually, I am waiting for my wife.
Mary looks at him with a small frown.
MARY
Oh, you’re married?
Scott gets a little embarrassed.
SCOTT
Yeah. To the best woman in the world.
Mary scoots a little closer.
MARY
Sounds like one lucky girl.
Scott scoots away a little.
SCOTT
Um, thanks.
Mary scoots closer again.
MARY
Can I be totally honest with you?
SCOTT
I guess.
MARY
When I saw you from across the room I had to come over here. You are the sexiest
man I have ever seen in my life.
Scott gets embarrassed.
(CONTINUED)
SCOTT
Well thank you. That is very kind of you to say.
Mary reaches over and touches his leg.
MARY
Do you think maybe we would have time to get to know each other before your wife gets
here?
Scott pushes her hand away.
SCOTT
Oh my god, what are you doing?
MARY
I can’t help myself. I have to have
you right now.
SCOTT
Look lady, I...
She reaches her hand out.
MARY
Mary. Call me Mary.
SCOTT
Mary? Whatever. I can’t be seen with you. I don’t want to ruin
anything tonight.
MARY
Come on, it’s not like she’ll know. Let’s just go back to the bathroom and have a good
old fashioned F...
SCOTT
Forget it! Not going to happen. I am a committed man. I would never
cheat on my wife.
MARY
You don’t have to do a thing. I could...
(whispers in his ear)
How would that be?
Scott jumps up completely in shock.
SCOTT
I have never even heard of that
before.
(CONTINUED)
MARY
Oh, well you don’t know what you are missing.
SCOTT
You are crazy.
He points away.
SCOTT
Please leave me alone!
Mary looks hurt. She gets up. As she walks past him, she
hands him a note with her number and kisses him on the cheek.
MARY
Every now and then you have to get a little dirty.
She walks away. Scott composes himself and sits back down.
Mary walks back in the room and sits down next to him. There
is a long awkward silence. Finally Scott looks over.
SCOTT
I’m sorry. That wasn’t very good was it? It’s just, that’s how I
would act in real life you know.
MARY
Yeah, maybe next time it’s not total strangers. Let’s pick a
different scenario.
SCOTT
That would be good.
(pause)
You were good though. Especially that position you made up.
Mary holds his hand.
MARY
Who said it was made up?
Scott gets a smile on his face as we...
FADE TO BLACK.
