HARRY (late 30s), and his mate KENNY (early 40s) are having a drink at the bar. We last saw them in The One About England. Nearby are SIMON and CARL, behaving like schoolboys as they try not to stare at ROXANNE, and JACK - from The One About The Binge Drinkers a little earlier - who has bumped into someone who knows him.
KENNY
He didn't have any control, that was the
problem. The moment they brought in
Dennis Wise it all went Pete Tong. He
had no role in picking the players.
HARRY
Playing Joey Barton against Arsenal
wasn't the brightest of moves. I never
really understood what it was about
King Kev, to be honest. I know the fans
loved him but .. he was bollocks, really.
KENNY
(Not listening to a word Harry's saying)
It's the continental way of doing things.
Cut to:
2. INT. THE ANGEL. NIGHT.
SIMON and CARL, a bottle of wine between them, are both fairly pissed.
SIMON
When we leave, we will both say goodbye,
right. And she will look at me, she will
ignore you completely, and she will say
goodbye to me. And not to you.
CARL
Twat.
SIMON
Twenty quid.
CARL
I can't drink wine in pubs. It's not right.
SIMON
Mate, that's our second bottle.
CARL
It's taken me a while for it to dawn.
Cut to:
3. INT. THE ANGEL. NIGHT.
JACK is talking to LENA, who we saw last playing darts in The One About Belief.
JACK
(Trying to impress) I went to see the doctor
today about my lifestyle. I was so hung-
over, I forgot to mention my coke habit.
LENA
You don't remember me, do you?
JACK
If I'm being totally honest, and please ..
'cos it's better to be honest, I think. I
can't quite .. No, I haven't got the foggiest.
Cut to:
4. EXT. THE ANGEL. NIGHT.
Later. SIMON and CARL outside the pub. In the background, catch sight of a HOODIE riding a fluorescent-green Kawasaki push-bike.
CARL
That was bollocks, that was so nothing,
that was neither of us. That was like we
didn't fucking exist.
SIMON
I'm going back in.
