INT. LIVING ROOM - DAY

MICHELLE is laying on the couch passed out. The bathroom door

opens and out walks GINA. She is holding her head.

GINA

Oh my god my head hurts.

She looks down at her watch.

GINA

Oh shit!

Gina rushes over towards Michelle and starts shaking her.

GINA

Michelle wake up!

Michelle stirs in her sleep. Gina continues to shake her.

GINA

Michelle!

Michelle opens her eyes. She is still visibly drunk.

MICHELLE

What time is it?

GINA

It’s 8. You need to get into the

shower.

Michelle looks up at Gina. She is about to speak when she

starts to throw up. She rushes to the bathroom door and runs

in. We can HEAR her throwing up in the bathroom in the

background.

Gina goes to the door.

GINA

What time is your interview?

MICHELLE (O.S.)

(in between puking)

It’s at 9.

GINA

You don’t have much time. If you’re

going to barf, at least do it while

you shower.

Michelle comes out from the Bathroom wiping her mouth.

MICHELLE

Oh my god, I don’t think I can do

this.

GINA

Sure you can hun. Whatever you

need, I’ll get you there.

Michelle is shaking her head.

MICHELLE

No, I can’t do this. There is no

way I am going to make it.

GINA

Maybe a little water will help.

Gina leaves the room and goes to the kitchen.

MICHELLE

(yelling to Gina)

Sorry. I really didn’t plan to get

that drunk last night.

Gina comes back in holding a glass of water. She hands it to

Michelle. Michelle takes a big sip. She gets up and runs back

to the bathroom.

GINA

Guess that isn’t working.

We hear Michelle hurling some more.

GINA

Oh, sweetie, you need to stop. You

want me to get your clothes ready?

Michelle comes back out wiping her mouth again.

MICHELLE

I feel a little bit better. I just

want to go back to bed.

GINA

I know you do, but we have to get

you to that interview.

Michelle sits down on the couch. Gina thinks for a second.

GINA

Dog hair!

MICHELLE

What?

GINA

Dog hair, or whatever it’s called.

MICHELLE

What are you talking about?

GINA

Hairy dog? You know...

MICHELLE

You mean the hair of the dog?

GINA

Yeah that’s it. We’ll get you drunk

again. You always said guys love

you when you’re drunk. Well why

wouldn’t an interview be the same?

Michelle looks at Gina in disbelief.

MICHELLE

Are you serious?

Michelle thinks about it more.

MICHELLE

You know, that might work. What do

we have for booze?

Gina runs and grabs a bottle. She pours two shots. Michelle

stares at it for a second.

GINA

You can do it. Just take a swig.

It’s easy.

Gina takes a swig.

MICHELLE

Gina, what are you doing? I thought

this was for me?

GINA

I was just showing you what to do.

MICHELLE

It’s not like I don’t know. How do

you think we got here in the first

place?

Michelle takes a swig. Gina pours two more shots. They both

shootem. The booze hits hard but they keep drinking.

Suddenly Michelle looks at Gina.

MICHELLE

Um Gina?

GINA

Yeah?

MICHELLE

If we’re both drinking, who’s gonna

drive me to the interview?
