[Rock music plays]

Alexis: We should leave.

Diane: If we run, we look like prey. If we just stay and act like we fit in, what could happen?

Man: I will kick your --

[Man grunts]

[Glass shatters]


Man: Move it!

[Rock music plays]

[Object falls]

Alexis: Do you think we could use your phone?

Bartender: Phone's for paying customers. You looking to buy something?

Man: Or sell something?

[Men chuckle]

Diane: I'll have a dirty martini.

Bartender: All right, there you go.

Diane: Or a beer. I don't suppose there's a glass to go with that?

Man: You can put your lips right there on mine, sweetheart.

[Laughter]

Diane: Thanks anyway.

Man: You said you liked it dirty.

Alexis: There's really no need to be unfriendly.

Diane: Don’t.

Bartender: Look, the man offered you his glass.

Man: Maybe she wants the shirt off his back.

Second Man: I can be real friendly.

Diane: No -- uh -- look, I -- I'm sure there are any numbers of ladies in your hood who would be more than receptive to your charming offer.

Bartender: Wait a minute. Are you two an item?

Diane: No.

Alexis: No. Do you think we could use your phone now?

Bartender: Well, there's a two-drink minimum -- that means two drinks apiece. So what'll it be?


[Music plays]

[Diane burps]

Alexis: Oh --

Singer: It sounds so good sounds nice in my head say it again

Alexis: Uh -

Diane: Okay. We have -- agh -- finished our two drinks.

[Diane burps]

Diane: May we use your phone now?

Bartender: Sure.

[Diane coughs]

Diane: Pick up the phone.

Alexis: No, you pick it up.

Diane: Pick up the phone.

Alexis: No -- rock, paper, scissors.

Diane: Fine.

Alexis: Ah!

Alexis: The phone is dead. Why didn't you tell us the phone was dead?

Bartender: You didn't ask. The phone's been dead for a week.

Diane: Hey, hey -- how are we going to get there? What do we do, walk to Philadelphia? I want my award.

Alexis: It's my award.

Diane: Well, if we don't get there soon and you somehow manage to garner the sympathy vote, you're going to be pulling that award out of a boring little box days from now, sitting around in your bathrobe.

Alexis: All right! We need a phone.

Diane: Ahem. Excuse me. I'm sorry. Might I borrow your phone?

Man: That depends. Can I borrow your friend for a dance?

Diane: Yes! Get out of the chair.


[Music plays]

[Mouths words]

Man: I can show you some real moves.

Diane: Oh, a beer. Yes, well, I bet you could. We're just going to borrow your friend's phone and be on our way.

Man: Big Dave look like he just warming up.

Diane: Hmm. Oh --

Man: What you got in there -- gold?

Diane: Close -- high fashion.

Man: Oh, you mean couture?

Diane: You know that word?

Man: Had a girlfriend, that's all she could talk about.

Diane: Oh.

Man: Fashion, fashion, fashion. Me -- I just liked seeing her with her clothes off. How about you? You shy around mirrors?

Diane: I do my share of primping.

Man: I got a nice mirror myself.

Diane: Oh?

Man: I put it right up on the ceiling over my bed.

Dave: You girls off to a prom or something?

Alexis: We're going to an awards ceremony -- Litigator of the Year.

Dave: Say what?

Alexis: Litigator -- we're lawyers!

[Bar quiets]


[Rock music plays]

Alexis: What -- what'd I say?

Dave: A dirty, six-letter word.

Man: "Lawyer"! The kids, the house -- that was bad enough. My ex wound up with my boat because of her damn lawyer.

Alexis: You should've had your own attorney.

Man: I did. I was spending four months in county because the bastard forgot to file some motion.

Dave: Bet he charged you double for that.

Man: And he sued me to get the money.

Diane: What -- well, naturally, there are incompetent lawyers -- just as there are incompetent plumbers.

Alexis: Yes.

Man: Hey, Dave? She's comparing you to a lawyer.

Diane: No, no! No, I -- I wasn't talking about you or any plumber in particular!

Bartender: You know, that's an insult to any man working a hard day's work for a hard day's pay.

Man: What do you have when a lawyer is buried up to her neck in sand?

Bartender: Not enough sand.

[Laughter]

[Diane chuckles]

Bartender: Why is a lawyer like a bait shop?

Dave: Because of all the leaches, night crawlers, and maggots.

[Lamp breaks]

Diane: Next one takes out an eye -- or something else you might consider more useful.

[Rock music plays]

Diane: I've killed a man before, I'll do it again. Now, my friend and I -- behind me -- my friend and I are just going to back out of this bar real slow, and no one's going to do anything. Get the door.

Diane: Now!

Alexis: You incited a mob!

Diane: I saved us!

Alexis: You were very convincing -- I actually believed you when you said that you really killed someone.

Diane: That was the truth. I have killed someone.
