Tell the folks at home

We screen.

"Speak" ... ("Beeeep!")
COLLINS
"Chestnuts roasting ---"
ROGER AND MARK
Collins!
COLLINS
I'm downstairs
MARK
Hey!
COLLINS
Roger picked up the phone??
MARK
No, it's me.
COLLINS
Throw down the key.
MARK
A wild night is now pre-ordained
COLLINS
I may be detained.
MARK
What does he mean...?
What do you mean "detained"?

Ho ho ho.

Dudes, I'm on my way
MARK AND ROGER
Great! Fuck.
BENNY
I need the rent
MARK
What rent?
BENNY
This past year's rent which I let slide
MARK
Let slide? You said we were 'golden'
ROGER
When you bought the building
MARK
When we were roommates
ROGER
Remember -- you lived here!?
BENNY
How could I forget?
You, me, Collins and Maureen
How is the drama queen?
MARK
She's performing tonight
BENNY
I know.
Still her production manager?

Two days ago I was bumped
BENNY
You still dating her?
MARK
Last month I was dumped
ROGER
She's in love
BENNY
She's got a new man?
MARK
Well -- no

Or I will have to evict you
Be there in a few
MARK
The power blows ...
