SHOOTING DRAFT
June 12, 2000
4/5/00
FADE IN:
1 EXT. SAN FRANCISCO - DAY
1
OPENING CREDITS and MUSIC play as dawn breaks over the
city by the bay. Sounds of intense SEXUAL EXERTION FADE
UP.
2 INT. NELSON'S APARTMENT - BEDROOM - DAY
2
In what is more workout than lovemaking, NELSON MOSS (36)
thrusts vigorously into ANGELICA (32), lying spread-
eagled on her back. An ALARM goes off, and on cue,
Nelson climaxes. OPENING CREDITS and MUSIC FADE OUT.
Finished, Nelson hops to his feet on his way...
NELSON
That was good...
Ambivalent, Angelica watches as Nelson enters the
bathroom.
NELSON
Top dog, big dog, bad dog...
3 INT. NELSON'S APARTMENT - BATHROOM - DAY
3
Nelson showers.
NELSON
Who's the best dog? It's my dog.
4 INT. NELSON'S APARTMENT - BEDROOM - DAY
4
Towel-wrapped, Nelson keeps talking as he crosses the
room.
NELSON
It's the big, bad dog.
Angelica pulls on her underwear as she watches Nelson
exit.
5 INT. NELSON'S APARTMENT - LIVING AREA - DAY
5
The penthouse is orderly and stark. Entering, Nelson
grabs an incoming fax, turns on a coffeemaker and picks
up a remote control. Ignoring a stunning view of the
city, he closes the blinds and turns ON FIVE TELEVISIONS.

6 INT. NELSON'S APARTMENT - BEDROOM - DAY
6
Fax in hand, Nelson speed-dials on a cell phone as he
passes Angelica. Entering a walk-in closet, he dresses
in a hurry.
NELSON
Number one dog, dog at the top --
ANGELICA
Slow down. We need to talk.
Vince?
NELSON
VINCE (V.O.)
(over phone)
How about those Vitagirl numbers?
NELSON
(into phone)
Yeah, looking good.
(to Angelica, fake
innocent)
Talk about what?
He sees the look on her face, turns his head, rolls his
eyes and mouths "us" as she says:
Us.
ANGELICA
He mouths "shit," then turns to flash her a reassuring
smile, holding up a finger to wait as he finishes his
call.
VINCE (V.O.)
We're T-minus 72 hours from fast
food fame or oblivion. Ready to
sign off on this copy?
Nelson makes an apologetic face to Angelica, uses work to
avoid dealing with her, hurries into the living room.
NELSON
Almost. Meet you in twenty.
7 INT. NELSON'S APARTMENT - LIVING AREA - DAY
7
He hangs up the phone, and takes a deep breath. He is in
a state of extremely jangled nerves. He pours a giant
coffee, praying Angelica will stay in the bedroom as he
channel-surfs on all five TVs, stopping on a hot dog
commercial.

7 CONTINUED:

Catching a good one, he switches sets to the same
channel. Braces himself as she enters, wearing undies.
NELSON
Us. Right. Hey -- isn't there
some kinda limit on 'us' talks?
You know, one okay, two if
necessary, three, cruel and
unusual.
He flashes a smile and bolts, evading her once again.
8 INT. NELSON'S APARTMENT - BEDROOM - DAY
8
Nelson re-enters the closet and finishes dressing,
obsessed.
NELSON
Good dog, great dog...
ANGELICA
You forgot about my parents,
didn't you?
He did.
NELSON
I can't make it. I'm sorry.
ANGELICA
Nelson, this is their third trip
to the city. This is important to
me.
(sees how hurt she
is)
Come on, it's Doctor Diggety,
it's practically an American
institution.
(stops)
Hey -- does that play? American
institution --
ANGELICA
Stop it -- you know there are
actually people who don't work 24
hours a day. They stop. Relax.
Have lives.
Dressed in chic clothes, Nelson grabs his suitcase.
(CONTINUED)
NELSON
And this account is very important
to me.

NELSON
Yeah, and I'm late for mine.
He rushes out, the door slamming shut behind him.
9 INT. ELEVATOR - DAY
9
Sleepy Madison Avenue types surround Nelson, wide awake
as he talks on his cell phone.
NELSON
-- Look, I'm not sure I like the
tagline anymore, it's working too
hard, needs to be deadpan. I
wanna play with it for a few
hours --
VINCE (V.O.)
(over phone)
Cut it out, man, copy's good.
Apply the 'If it ain't broke'
rule.
10 INT. JABE & DUNNE - DAY
10
The elevator opens onto an advertising agency, abuzz with
activity. Nelson is met by VINCE HOLLAND (36). Walking
side-by-side, both men continue talking into their
phones.
NELSON
(over phone)
That rule applies to mediocrity.
We want perfection.
VINCE
(over phone)
What we want is a check, Nelson.
And bonuses. And promotions.
You worry too much.
NELSON
I worry because worrying about
losing keeps you winning.
Suddenly aware of themselves, they pocket their phones as
an OFFICE MANAGER hands Nelson an advertising award.
OFFICE MANAGER
Congrats, Nelson. You got the Ad
Age for the Pelican spot.
