You were serious? I thought

you were joking. 

JENNY

Joking?

BRADEY

What'd I do this time?

JENNY

What did you do? You gotta be 

kidding me.

BRADEY

Oh wait, I think I know, how

can I be so stupid? It’s 

that time of the month?

JENNY

What? No you idiot, I can’t 

believe how childish you are?

BRADEY

Childish, What’s your problem?

JENNY

My problem!?! You know what; I

think it’s about time for you   

to leave.
BRADEY

So you're not going to tell me 

What’s going on?

JENNY

No, why should I?

BRADEY

How do you plan on getting 

to work?

JENNY

Don't know yet, but I'm sure 

I'll figure something out.

BRADEY

Look you're going to be late.  

Let me take you.

I swear you're the cheapest 

person on the planet. Have I

That's a perk of the job.

            STEW(CONT’D)

you're thinking, and this is 

spoken for; it's my mother's

Another perk of the job?

Yes another perk of the job.

Where do you think I do my 

Christmas shopping?

Come on man. Please, who're 

you talking to?

Ok, but don't tell anyone, 

it's embarrassing.

Bradey it's me, Joe Pesci,

squeezing my head in a vice 

couldn't get me to talk.

BRADEY

Swear on it.

STEW

I swear on my mom.

BRADEY

No, you know what I mean.

STEW

Alright! I swear on my Jenna 

Jamison DVD collection.

BRADEY

Ok... so look last night I got 

a little tipsy, just to, you 

know to unwind.

STEW

What did you drink?
BRADEY

I don't know?  Does it really 

matter?

STEW

Yes, I'm trying to picture

it.

BRADEY

Jack and coke I think, can I 

finish, now?

STEW

Go ahead, didn't mean to 

interrupt.

BRADEY

So Jenny and I went out for a 

romantic dinner.

STEW

Ok...

BRADEY

It's really not that big of a 

deal, I just

(WHISPERS)

made out with another girl.

STEW

What? I couldn't hear you.
BRADEY

I made out with another woman.

STEW

What??? Wait a sec, she caught 

you in your house making out 

with some girl?

BRADEY

(MUMBLES)

No, in the restaurant.

STEW

In the restaurant???

(STEW TRIES TO HOLD BACK A GIGGLE, BUT CAN'T, AND BURSTS OUT LAUGHING.)

That's awesome dude!

Classic...

BRADEY

Wait, there's actually a tiny 

bit more.

STEW

More than that?

(STEW PUTS HIS HEAD IN HIS HANDS LIKE HE'S LISTENING TO A GREAT WORDSMITH.)

STEW

Go ahead I'm ready.
BRADEY

Remember now I was drunk.

STEW

Yeah yeah, I know I know. Keep 

going.

BRADEY

I accidentally tattooed the 

other girl's name on my chest 

and made sweet love to her.

STEW

You what? Dude let me see it?

(BRADEY PULLS DOWN THE BANDAGE TO REVEAL THE FLAMING ELLISA TATTOO.)

STEW 

Yikes! That's the worst tattoo 

I've ever seen. What does that 

say Ellija? You said it was a 

chick right?
BRADEY

I don't know... I WAS DRUNK!

STEW

For God sake I hope you were.

BRADEY

And now Jenny won't talk to 

me.

STEW

Dude, forget about it, you're 

screwed. 

BRADEY

I know. I need some help.

STEW

You gotta treat women with 

total respect. Here's the big 

question was she a lesbo? Did 

she bring any friends?

BRADEY

I can't remember

STEW

C'mon, throw me a bone.

BRADEY

Got any ideas?

STEW

Yeah get a new girlfriend.

BRADEY

Thanks dumb ass! I gotta go.

STEW

Alright bro.

(STEW TURNS AROUND TO STOPS BRADEY.)

           WHILE A FLY BUZZES AROUND HER HEAD.)

JENNY

Hmmm... We have limited seats.

I can put you on stand by.

MANUEL

You don't have any seats at 

all?
JENNY

Unfortunately it's about full.

MANUEL

Nothing can be done.

JENNY

Not really.

MANUEL

Yeah, ok put me on stand by.

JENNY

Alright, that upgrade will 

cost—

(SHE RETRIEVES THE PRICE. THE FLY LANDS ON HER HEAD.)
JENNY

$257. That'll be added your 

credit card if a seat becomes 

available.

MANUEL

Wow, let me ask you something.

I heard that I can get a free 

upgrade if I had a death in 

the family?

JENNY

Do you have a copy of the 

death certificate?

MANUEL

Yeah hold on. I got it right 

here.

SHE IS SHOOING THE FLY AN AWAY, BUT IT LOOKS FROM A FAR LIKE SHE IS PLAYING WITH HER HAIR IN A FLIRTING MANOR. BRADEY LOOKS INTENSELY AND GETS JEALOUS.)

What in the Hell...

INT. THE NATIONAL PACIFIC CHECKIN-
(BRADEY, JENNY, MANUEL)

(BRADEY WALKS OVER TO JENNY AND MANUEL, AND INTERRUPTS THEIR CONVERSATION.)

BRADEY

JENNY

No! I'm with a customer.

BRADEY

We've been broken up less than 

a day and it's on to the next 

guy, right?

JENNY

Let's talk about this later.

MANUEL

What's your problem?

BRADEY

Dude, can we get a moment 

alone!
JENNY

Please forgive him he's 

disturbed.

MANUEL

He needs someone to teach him 

some manors.

BRADEY

Yeah why don't you teach me,

       esse!

(THEY GET IN EACH OTHER'S FACE.)

JENNY

Bradey get outta here. Go...

NOW!

BRADEY

Your lucky I gotta go, but I'm 

watching you two.

(BRADEY PUTS TWO FINGERS UP TO HIS EYE TO INDICATE WATCHING THEM. HE LEAVES AND MANUEL GIVES JENNY THE DEATH CERTIFICATE AND WALKS TO THE WAITING AREA.)

(BRADEY, DANNY, MARIN)

 (BRADEY WALKS OVER TO THE OTHER FLIGHT ATTENDANTS WAITING TO PRE-BOARD THE FLIGHT. HE STARTS TALKING TO DANNY AND MARIN. THEY ARE TWO FLIGHT ATTENDANTS ON HIS FLIGHT.)

BRADEY

I can't believe this... Look 

at them!

(HE POINTS TO MANUEL)

DANNY

What was that about?

BRADEY

Jenny dumped me.

MARIN

You cheated on her!

BRADEY

I explained that to her. It's 

not cheating if I thought I 

was with her! Why can't 

anyone understand that?

DANNY

Weren't you wasted?

BRADEY

How'd you hear that?

DANNY/MARIN

Stew told us.

BRADEY

Stew! It’s an honest mistake.

MARIN

C'mon drunk or no drunk, you 

should know when your 

making out with another woman.

DANNY

Are you serious? Let me 

Explain. If you have sex with 

a stranger, and you’re drunk, 

it never really happened.
MARIN

I can't believe you two. It's 

just like guys to stick 

together.

BRADEY

Hey we didn’t make the rule,

And what about women, you 

never drank too much and

woken up next to someone, who

was coyote ugly?

MARIN

Oh please!

BRADEY

Oh I forgot women never cheat 

on guys.

MARIN

Can I help it if guys are 

dogs.

DANNY

Where have you been in the 

last 10 years? Women are the 

new bachelors.

MARIN

What??? Whatever.
BRADEY

He's right 70% of women cheat 

on men. And I'm not just 

talking about the hot ones 

either, ugly girls too.

DANNY

Exactly! 

MARIN

How come men cheat and it's 

cool but when a woman does 

they're Skanks? There are just                    

no good men out there, it's 

harder for us to choose the 

right guy.

DANNY

There it is the old stand by.

I can't find a good guy.

BRADEY

Why do women always say they 

can't find a good guy?  If 

they do finally find one they 

always dump him for some bad 

boy, you know some biker type. 

            (MORE)
            BRADEY (CONT’D)

Me personally I'm tired of 

hearing that same line, as I'm 

sure all guys are.

MARIN

Ok I'll admit That's true of 

some women.

DANNY

Whatever! The second a guy 

shows you Interest he's dumped 

so fast his head spins.

BRADEY

Yeah you can't tell me all 

women don't do that.

MARIN

Well you're right. To bad the

only one who didn’t dumped 

you.

(BRADEY WATHCHES MANUEL LEAVE THE COUNTER AND WALK TO TAKE A SEAT.)

Oh that's low...

NICK

random.
MANUEL
			
Ummm... Look I'm coming back

from a funereal. Can we just--

NICK

Uhh No we can't.

MANUEL

This is unacceptable, an 

outrage. It's because I'm

NICK

Look just calm down. It won't 

take long.

MANUEL

The Plane's boarding!

NICK

                          SYNOPSIS

                       “THE BREAK UP”

     Bradey and his girlfriend decide to go out for a romantic dinner. As usual he gets wasted, and in a drunken haze confuses another woman with his girlfriend. Bradey, thinking the other woman is his girlfriend, goes off into the night, leaving his girlfriend bewildered back in the restaurant. He shows up at his ex-girlfriend’s apartment the next day oblivious to the situation and with his chest tattooed with the other girl’s name. His ex eventually dumps him. 

     Later that day Bradey’s mistakenly jealous of his ex and another man, a passenger waiting in line to upgrade his coach ticket, on his flight. He makes the passenger’s life a living hell. He has security cavity search him, ouch! and also refuses to upgrade him; petty things like that. After the flight the passenger swears revenge. 

      Bradey and his buddies lay over in L.A and decide to have a night out. Bradey's wasted again and he grabs something to eat; a burrito from a street vendor. The group ends up at a club called “The Dragon Room”, which unknown to them is a drag queen hang out. Eventually after they figured it out (almost too late) they leave. 

     The burrito that Bradey ate is starting to make its self known. They need to pull the car over for him. They stop at a gas station his last resort, and he runs to the bathroom. Of course the door is locked, so he runs to the attendant, and begs for the key. The attendant recognizes him, it’s the passenger harshly treated from his flight.
