SCENE C
INT. JAMIE AND STEVE'S APARTMENT -- LATER THAT NIGHT
(CARRIE, CRAIG, STEVE, KATIE)
DINNER HAS JUST ENDED. STEVE AND CRAIG ARE SEATED AT THE TABLE WITH KATIE AND CRAIG'S WIFE, CARRIE. CRAIG IS A COCKY EX-FRAT BOY, CARRIE A POLISHED FORMER "MISS L.S.U."
CARRIE
This is such a darling little
apartment, Steve.
CRAIG
Carrie, doesn't it remind you of
that place we rented when we had
no money?
CARRIE
I loved that place.
STEVE
I never saw it.
CRAIG
We were too embarrassed to have
anyone over.
STEVE CHUCKLES WEAKLY.
CARRIE
Speaking of which, we have a little
housewarming gift.
SHE HANDS KATIE A "CHARADES" BOARD GAME WITH A BOW ON IT.
KATIE
Oh, it's a game!
STEVE
You brought over a game, did you?
CRAIG
Yeah, one of those things with
winners... (LOOKS AT STEVE) And
losers.
KATIE
I love charades. Can we play?
STEVE
I don't know. I'm worried that if
one of us sucks the other one will
never forgive her.
KATIE
Relax, I'm great at charades.
CARRIE
We'll start. Pick one for us.
KATIE HANDS CARRIE A CLUE.
KATIE
(CHECKING WATCH) And... go.
CARRIE BEGINS TO MIME.
CRAIG
A book... twelve o'clock... good...
bad... "Midnight in the Garden of
GOOD and Evil"!!
CARRIE
That's it!
KATIE
Wow, six seconds! You guys
are good.
STEVE SENDS KATIE A LOOK.
STEVE
Okay, our turn.
KATIE TAKES A CLUE.
CRAIG
Go.
KATIE POINTS TO HER TEMPLE, LOST IN THOUGHT.
STEVE
Forehead. Forehead, big
forehead... Rosie O'Donnell!
KATIE
(DEFENSIVE) Hang on, I'm thinking.
CRAIG
No talking. Ten second penalty.
KATIE
Okay, I got it.
CRAIG
Ten more seconds.
SHE LAUNCHES INTO A MIME.
STEVE
Okay, it's a movie.
KATIE SHAKES HER HEAD 'NO'.
STEVE (CONT'D)
Yes. That's the sign for a movie.
KATIE
No, I'm an organ grinder.
CRAIG
Uh, another penalty. Time is up.
KATIE
It was "Sleepless in Seattle."
STEVE
There was no organ grinder in
"Sleepless in Seattle."
KATIE
Organ... Oregon. Oregon's next to
Washington. Seattle's in
Washington. "Sleepless in
Seattle." Duh.
