My First Time

MY FIRST TIME
BY: AMY GILLESPIE
JAN. 10, 2000

FADE TO: 
INT. BRITNEY'S BEDROOM - DAY

My Sharona plays in the background.


BRITNEY
Shit!  
(Winces)
Shoot!

We see BRITNEY GILLESPIE grab her bleeding knee, grab a tissue and sloppily soak up the blood on her knee, then throw the tissue away.  She then gathers all her bags- a total of 6- and staggers to her bed and takes the portable radio playing My Sharona, and staggers to the door.


CLOSE SHOT- BRITNEY'S BACK IN HER ROOM- ZOOM OUT- BRITNEY'S BACK IN CHURCH PARKING LOT

We see BRITNEY walk up to SHELLY BLEVINS.


BRITNEY
Hey Shelly.

SHELLY
You have more bags than I do.  What do you have in those things?

BRITNEY
Crap I'm not going to need.

SHELLY
Makes sense, me too.

BRITNEY
I'm gonna be good this week so stop all the profanity coming out of my mouth with your fist.

SHELLY
Ok.

BRITNEY
I'm gonna stay pure.

SHELLY
Good, Sister Mary Gillespie.

BRITNEY
Shut up.  I'm not Catholic.  

SHELLY
I know.

BRITNEY
I thought you where going to meet us at the Econo Lodge?

SHELLY
I was.  I have been riding in that car for 10 straight hours just so I can come here and travel that same 10 hours to get back to the same place.


BRITNEY
Fun.

SHELLY
Yeah.  Dad thought it would be a good idea.
(Looks around)
Now I'm early.

We see a red van pulls into the parking lot.


SHELLY
Sel!

BRITNEY
Selena!!  Selena Melton!

We see the van parks and SELENA MELTON jump out.

SELENA
Hey!

We see SHELLY, BRITNEY run over to SELENA and hug her.


BRITNEY
Hey, 'boro bitch!

SELENA
Hey!  M-Fuge!!!

BRITNEY
Yes!

SELENA
Finally!

SHELLY
Hey, Sel!

SELENA
Shelly-Belly... How's it going?

SHELLY
Good.  You?

SELENA
I'm all right.  Marti's coming at 5:20.

SHELLY
Cool.

We see MANDA TRAYNHAM, in the background of SHELLY, BRITNEY, and SELENA.  She waves.

BRITNEY
Is that Manda?

MANDA
Hey!

BRITNEY
Oh!

We see them run over to MANDA and hug her.


SELENA
I thought you weren't coming?

MANDA
I'm not!  I just came to say goodbye.

SHELLY
Oh!  Sweet girl!

We see them all share another hug.


FADE TO: 

INT. VAN - LATE DAY

We see a large sized van filled with 14-15 year old teenagers and a middle-aged driver.


PRESTON
Britney, I still love you.

BRITNEY
(laughs)	
What?

PRESTON 
I love you!

BRITNEY
Sure you do!

PRESTON
I do!  Why would I say it loud enough so everyone can hear it if I didn't?

BRITNEY 
Cause you're whack!

PRESTON
You're hopeless.

BRITNEY
Sure I am.

SHELLY
What are you two fighting about? 

BRITNEY
I don't know!  Preston started it.

We see everyone in the van like this: DRIVER: RICKY - SHOTGUN: SELENA MELTON - 1ST ROW: BRITNEY GILLESPIE, PRESTON, CHRIS - 2ND ROW: SHELLY, EDDIE, ARCHIE - 3RD ROW: MARTI, NATHAN, BERT

BRITNEY writes in a journal.  PRESTON looks over her shoulder to see what she is writing.

BRITNEY
None of your business, okay!!  Leave me alone!!

BRITNEY V/O
Hey.  Oh my goodness.  This may be the worst week of my life the way things are going.  Preston just had to come and the 
first words out of his mouth had to be "I love you."  We had been going out since Christmas and we broke up last week.  This boy is real cool!  Shelly and Eddie broke up last month.  They don't hate each other like me and Preston but it's pretty close.  You just gotta catch them in a bad mood!  Preston needs to go to sleep or something.  I swear- it seems like the perfect love/hate relationship but no.  I swear if he tries a thing he's dead!  The dog's best friend over there is Chris.  Drooling is, as you can see, not too appealing but he can be a sweetheart when he wants to be.  Then, the crazy maniac next to Eddie 
BRITNEY cntd.
is Sonny.  Getting his groove on to- Blondie's new hit!  I love Blondie but I don't know what's so hilarious about that!

SONNY
Ooh... Wee!!!  Call me on the line, you can call me, any, anytime.  Call Me!

BRITNEY V/O cntd.
Now I get it.  But still.  The one near the window in the back is Bert- the quiet but lovable one!  Not exactly boyfriend material but best boy bud- any day!!  Nathan is next to Bert.  Nathan's really a doll! Well, that's Marti.  I don't know why she's looking so depressed- on our way to M-Fuge!  But, you can never know.  Marti is the sweetest of the whole group!  Selena is riding shotgun.  A silent one but she's very unique and interesting.  A big bad actress- maybe a Natalie Wood- her fave actress- in the making- I swear!  Then there's Ricky.  Preston's step-dad and a terrible driver!  Kinda.  I don't exactly want to say that.  Let's just wait and see how bad this gets.  Well, if he comes close to killing us more than twice let's put that name on him!  I'm wasting good talking time but we're pretty much sick of each other already!  Talk later.

PRESTON
Hey, Ricky, how much longer?

RICKY
A long time.
(Picks up the CB radio)
Rick, are we there yet?

CUT TO:
 INT. RICK's VAN - LATE DAY

RICK
Ricky, are we getting impatient?

RICKY over CB
No.

RICK
5 more hours.

CUT TO:

INT. RICKY's VAN- - LATE DAY

RICKY
5 mo...


PRESTON
I can hear!

BRITNEY
I'm going to sleep!  That means laying on you to get comfortable!!  If you take that personally- just take a look at Eddie!

PRESTON
I get it!

BRITNEY
Thank you.
She situates herself then leans on PRESTON's shoulder.  Soon BRITNEY, PRESTON fall asleep.

SONNY
Hey Britney...

EDDIE
She's asleep, you insensitive...

SONNY
No need for expletives!

SHELLY pokes her head up suddenly.

SHELLY
No need for.... Expletives?

SONNY
Repeat!

SHELLY
Who said you could start saying that?

SONNY
The First Amendment.

SHELLY
What are you doin'?  All historical!

SONNY
She can't be sleeping in that position.

We see the back of BRITNEY and PRESTON's heads.


EDDIE
She's asleep.

FADE TO:

INT. RICKY's VAN - LATE DAY

A few hours later.  Everyone is awake now and involved in a game of Truth or Dare while stuck in a traffic jam.


BRITNEY
Do we have to play truth or dare?

SELENA
Nah- how about... Car games!!

SHELLY
That'd be so much better.
(Looks over at SONNY)
Should I do it now?

SONNY
Now or never!

SHELLY
Britney!  One time.  

BRITNEY
Once- that's it!

SHELLY
Truth or Dare?


BRITNEY
Uh.... dare.


SHELLY
Kiss Preston, I want to see if...

BRITNEY
No!

PRESTON
See if what?

SHELLY
If its all still there... more than just comfortable sleep!

BRITNEY
Oh, suck it!!  If I kiss Preston, you gotta kiss Eddie!

SHELLY
Big deal.

She leans onto EDDIE and kisses him.

BRITNEY
Shoot, girl! 

PRESTON
Don't make it an issue!

BRITNEY
Fine!

We see BRITNEY kiss PRESTON.  When the kiss is over BRITNEY looks up at SHELLY and smiles like she knows she's done the right thing, PRESTON looks at BRITNEY lovingly, and knows that the kiss was real.


SELENA
Car games?

MARTI
Yeah!

SELENA
(Picks up the CB)
Rick, I think it's time for car games.

RICK
Ok.  Which one?

SELENA
I don't know.  Bea you got any suggestions?

BEA
The Celebrity Name Game?

SELENA
Okay- we'll start.

SONNY

SELENA
Yeah, Sonny!!  John Travolta!

RICK
Tim Curry.

BEA

BRITNEY
Leif Garrett!!

SELENA
Are you're still stuck on him?

BRITNEY
Of course!!  He's so sexy!

SELENA
He's so chubby!

BRITNEY
I like chubby guys thank you very much!  Say it anyway.

SELENA
Since when.

BRITNEY
Since I saw Leif.  Say it!

SELENA
Fine!  Leif Garrett.

RICK
God.

BEA
You can't say God.  He doesn't have a last name!

RICK
Fine.  Great God Almighty.

BEA
You can't say that either.

RICK
Isn't God famous.  

BEA
Yes.

RICK
Okay- now A!

BEA
All right.  I don't want you to get into those "Why?" discussions again.  Andy Gibb.

SELENA
Greg Brady.


RICK
That's the character.

SELENA
So, it still counts.

RICK
Bette Midler.

BEA
Mac Davis

SELENA
Donny Osmond.

RICK

BEA
Is that an N or a J?

RICK
J.

BEA

Rick, Bea, and Selena continue to name celebs as:

FADE TO:

EXT. AERIAL VAN STUCK IN HEAVY TRAFFIC - LATE DAY
CUT TO:

INT. VAN - LATE DAY

An hour or so later when Rapper's Delight comes on the radio.


SHELLY
This is my song!

BRITNEY
Every song is your song!

SHELLY
Shut up...

They go in and out of singing the entire song. (Wedding Singer edition- just for the record)

BRITNEY
We're the best!!!

SHELLY
Does anyone have an 8-track player?

BRITNEY
Nope- left it at home.

SHELLY
(quietly)
Damn!

EDDIE
Go to sleep, it's good for you.

MARTI
Nice, if somebody could!!  Turn the radio down!

SELENA
Sorry, Marti!
(Turns the radio down)

MARTI
Thanks, Sel.

BRITNEY
How much longer?

SELENA
Here.

She picks up the CB and hands it to BRITNEY.

BRITNEY
Hey, Rick, are you going to get us all lost, kill us all, or get us there on time?

RICK over CB
Most likely get us all lost.

BRITNEY
How much longer?

RICK
With this traffic we'll probably get there about three hours off schedule.

BRITNEY
Okay, thanks for the bad news!

RICK
My pleasure.  Over and out!

BRITNEY
Ok.

She puts the CB down and rummages through her bag and pulls out the same journal as:


PRESTON leans over to see what she's writing.

BRITNEY V/O
I just kissed Preston!  What's going on?  This is not happening the way I wanted it to!  That is not too good!  I mean it's almost boring!!  He's a pretty good kisser though.  I gotta get off of that!  He sucks!  I hate him!!  What am I talking about?  I don't hate anybody.  Especially people who can kiss like that!!  If I fall for this kid....  I mean there wasn't that much pressure.  A very soft kiss... no tongue!  Ohh... I might be!  Again?  I can't do it again! :) TL!

BRITNEY turns to PRESTON as she closes her journal and realizes he's read the whole thing.


BRITNEY
Oh my gosh, you're dead!  Okay?

PRESTON puts his arm around her.

PRESTON
Go to sleep.  It's good for you!

BRITNEY lays on his shoulder.  Soon the both fall asleep again.


CUT TO:

INT. VAN - LATE DAY

Hours later still stuck in the traffic jam.  Everyone is awake and they all look a little too bored.


SELENA
All of ya'll seen Little Darlings?

MARTI
Unfortunately.

PRESTON
Shut up... It was a good movie.

BRITNEY
Only cause Tatum O'Neal and Kristy McNichol were in it.

SELENA
Excuse me!

PRESTON
Sorry.

SELENA
I liked the bet bit of it.  You girls up to it?

SHELLY
Up to what?  Losing my virginity at a church camp?

SELENA
Oh.  I didn't think of it that way.  Ok- then how about just going out with- or kissing some guy.

SHELLY
The kissing part I'd do.

MARTI
Yeah- I would too.

BRITNEY
Sure.  Slutty lips.  My favorite thing in the world!

SELENA
I'm serious.  I'll take a pool.  Britney versus Marti versus Shelly.  By the end of this week you have to meet someone new and kiss them.  You have to spill about it too.  Fellas up to the bet?

NATHAN
Ok.

BERT
I'm in.

CHRIS
Me too.

PRESTON
Yeah.

EDDIE
I will.

SELENA
Ok- settled.

SHELLY
Sel, why aren't you in this thing?

SELENA
You want me to explain the whole thing?  All right... I will.  I hate men! 

She starts singing I Hate Men from Kiss Me, Kate.  I'd put the lyrics if I knew them...

SELENA
(Picks up the CB)
How much longer, Rick?

RICK
I don't have a clue right now.

SELENA
(Sighs)
Okay.  Over and out.

BRITNEY
You're gonna be the first one married- you know it!

SELENA
Sure I know it.  Let's take the beginning pool thing now.  Nate?

NATHAN
I'm with Marti.

SELENA
Bert?

BERT
Shelly-Belly.

SHELLY
Oh!  That's my man!

SELENA
Sonny?

SONNY
Marti.

SELENA
Eddie?

EDDIE
Britney.

BRITNEY
Finally!

SELENA
Preston?

PRESTON
Shelly-Belly.

BRITNEY
I thought you loved me?

PRESTON
I do.  I'm the only guy you're gonna be kissing this week.

BRITNEY
Sure.

SELENA
Chris?

CHRIS
Britney.

SELENA
Peachy keen, jelly beans!

CUT TO:

INT. VAN - LATE DAY

About an hour later.  BRITNEY is asleep in PRESTON's lap who is awake and just trying to let time pass as quickly as possible.

PRESTON V/O
She's so damn hot I don't know what I'm gonna do.  Why can't everybody just go to sleep and why the hell does Ricky have to be here- I'll never finish this!

NATHAN
You got room Shelly-Belly?

SHELLY
What is your itch today?

NATHAN
What'd I say?

MARTI
You know what she means!

NATHAN
No, I really don't.

SHELLY
You have just been acting like a freaking jerk this whole time!

NATHAN
I have not!

SHELLY
Oh, what is so wrong with what happened with me and Eddie, huh?

NATHAN
What makes you think that is bothering me?

SHELLY
That is the only thing that would be.

BRITNEY wakes up to NATHAN and SHELLY argueing:

BRITNEY
Shut up!  Solve this later- I'm trying to sleep!

NATHAN, SHELLY
Sorry.

SHELLY
You know it is.

NATHAN
It's not.

MARTI
Pick it up when we get there!

BRITNEY
(Sits up)
So much for sleeping.

Macho Man comes on the radio.

BRITNEY
We have major problems!

SONNY
Oh my gosh Shelly, It's...

SHELLY
Mercedes... uh huh!

BRITNEY
Kick it through this traffic, please! 

SHELLY
Look how pretty that is!  It all matches!  See, three lines and a circle.

PRESTON
What?

SHELLY
It's as easy as three lines and a circle.

CHRIS
What is?

SHELLY
The Mercedes sign.

BRITNEY
I'm buying everybody a car someday- You'll finally get one!

SHELLY
Look at that house!  Is that a house?

EDDIE
No!

SHELLY
Still.  I'm living in that house.

EDDIE
It's not a house.

SHELLY
I'm making it into a house!  Right next to my baby!

BRITNEY
Mercedes is your baby?

SHELLY
Yeah!

BRITNEY
Since when?

SHELLY
Since I got pregnant with it- now leave me alone while I gaze upon this masterpiece.

BRITNEY
Okay.

SONNY
Right...

PRESTON
Yes....

SONNY, PRESTON, BRITNEY
No....

SHELLY
Ya'll are so damn screwed up.

MARTI
Shelly!!

PRESTON
Yes....

BRITNEY, SONNY, PRESTON
No....

SHELLY
Shut up!

EDDIE
Yo, Shelly, we're passing it.

SHELLY
Somebody take a picture of it!

BRITNEY gets her camera out of her bag. 

BRITNEY
Here, Shelly, do it before we pass and you miss the whole wonderful thing.

SHELLY takes the camera, leans across EDDIE and SONNY and takes the picture.

SONNY
Of course it won't come out because its tinted...

SHELLY
No!  Stop I gotta get out and take another one!

BRITNEY
No, sorry, babe, you aren't wasting my film! 

EDDIE
Besides you CAN see through tinted stuff.

SHELLY
No you can't!

EDDIE
Then how did you see the Mercedes?

SHELLY
Shut up, you know what I mean!

SONNY
You are such a ditz, Shelly.

SHELLY
I am not a ditz!

PRESTON, BRITNEY, CHRIS, SELENA turn around and laugh at SHELLY.

PRESTON
Notice how everyone in the van heard that.

BRITNEY
Really?

PRESTON
Yeah.

BRITNEY
Sleep, it's good for you!

BRITNEY puts her arm around Preston.  The next conversation between BRITNEY and PRESTON is very flirty.

PRESTON
Sure it is.

BRITNEY
Would I lie to you?

PRESTON
Yes.

BRITNEY
No I wouldn't, retard!

PRESTON
Why not?

BRITNEY
You're my best friend!

PRESTON
Yeah.

BRITNEY
You are!

PRESTON
And you love me!

BRITNEY
No... Uh.. I don't know- don't ask me questions like that!

PRESTON
I told you I loved you- what do you have to say?  "I hate you!"  "You don't love me!"

BRITNEY
Preston.

PRESTON
What?

BRITNEY
Maybe I do love you.  It's just not the same kind of love.

PRESTON
Yeah.  Do you want to win that bet?

BRITNEY
Sure.

SELENA
It has to be somebody new and you can't start till we've been there at least 5 minutes!

PRESTON
Who cares?

We see PRESTON pull BRITNEY to him and kiss her.  Everyone in the van except NATHAN notices and turns ro them.  We see RICKY looks in the mirror and see them.

NATHAN
Did anybody bring their skates?

SHELLY
Shh...

NATHAN
What?

He looks up and notices BRITNEY and PRESTON.

MARTI
(To SHELLY)
Get the camera...

SHELLY reaches down to Britney's bag when:

The kiss suddenly breaks.  There is a moment of silence.  BRITNEY and PRESTON look at each other but neither of them know what to think of what just happened.

BRITNEY
I did!

PRESTON
What?

BRITNEY
Nate, I brought my skates.

NATHAN
Oh.  Right on, gurl!

SHELLY
Me too.

MARTI
So did I.


NATHAN
That's awesome.

BRITNEY
Let's just say this week is going to be Xanadu in real life.

PRESTON looks at BRITNEY and rolls his eyes.

PRESTON V/O
How can she not comment on that at all?  I love her!  She changes the subject...

BERT
Hey, what day is it?

CHRIS
You don't know what day it is?

MARTI
M-Fuge!!

SONNY
Trip to Nashville, day one.  I'm here with Blondie, Roller Derby Boy, Beefcake, Kristy McNichol, Leif Garrett, John Travolta, Kira, Macho Woman, God and Andy Gibb.  It's July 12, 1980.

BRITNEY
What's the deal with Kristy McNichol?

PRESTON
Do you really want me to get into this?

He pulls out an 8X10 autographed pic of Kristy McNichol and Tatum O'Neal.

BRITNEY
No.

PRESTON
Okay, Kristy and Tatum autographed this for me.  Little Darlings is the best!

BRITNEY
Yeah, yeah, yeah- at the premiere this past May!  I've heard this ten billion times!  I've got my own prize!

PRESTON
Not the Leif autograph!  Britney!!

BRITNEY Pulls out an 8X10 autographed pic of Leif Garrett.

BRITNEY
This is what I live for!
(Kisses the picture)

PRESTON
I could do that.

He fluffs his hair, crosses his arms across his chest, unbuttons his shirt, pushes his stomach out, and pouts.

BRITNEY
You are dead, ass hole!

MARTI
BRITNEY!!!

SHELLY slaps BRITNEY.


BRITNEY
Thank you.

SHELLY
No problem.

BRITNEY
I don't get this... 
(Pokes PRESTON's stomach in)
Why does everybody think Leif is chubby?

PRESTON
It's cuz he is!

BRITNEY
You're the chubby one!

PRESTON
Stop it!  I am not chubby!

BRITNEY
Oh really.  What is that, a pillow?

PRESTON
You bitch...

He grabs BRITNEY's stomach and starts to tickle her.

BRITNEY
Stop it!  Get your hands off of me!  

She laughs and hits PRESTON in the head and tries to pulls his arms off of her.

PRESTON
Ok, I'll stop.

BRITNEY
Thank you.

The both laugh some more.
BRITNEY
Now you're gonna want me to fall asleep all over you again.  It's not gonna happen!  Believe me, Preston!  I don't love you!  OK- I said it- 
(Whispers)
I don't fucking love you!

CUT TO:

EXT. VAN - NIGHT

We see the van driving in Bristol, TN before going to the Econo Lodge.

CUT TO:

INT. VAN - NIGHT

We see BRITNEY and SELENA talking:

BRITNEY
A night here, then onto fun, finally!

SELENA
You haven't had any fun?

BRITNEY
I've been arguing with Preston this entire time and I'm already depressed.  As soon as I get there I'm taking my medicine.

SELENA
Is this some prescription drug that your precious Leif is going to overdose on in the next few months as he realizes his teen idol days are slowly disintegrating into the wide open abyss?

BRITNEY
No, it's herbal stuff.

SELENA
Goodness girl, are you stuck in the 60s?!  It's probably worse than prescription drugs!

BRITNEY
Saint John's Wort- don't mock the name- it works!  I just didn't take any this morning- and now once I take it I'm gonna think I don't need it!  That's what's bad about it- it wears off.

SELENA
Oh, let's just see.

CUT TO:

EXT. VAN - NIGHT

We see the van pulling into the parking lot of the Econo Lodge.

CUT TO:

EXT. ECONO LODGE - NIGHT

We see everybody getting out of the three vans outside the Econo Lodge.

BRITNEY
I can't walk for my life right now!


PRESTON
Get out!

BRITNEY
I can't...

PRESTON
If you don't get out, damn it, I'm gonna push you out onto the ground!

BRITNEY
You wouldn't do that!  You love me too much!

She gets out of the van.

PRESTON
And take your infinite amount of bags with you!

BRITNEY
You can help me, can't you?

We see SHELLY knock on the window of the van door.

SHELLY
HELP!

BRITNEY
Oh.

BRITNEY opens the second part of the door.  SHELLY, EDDIE, and SONNY fall out onto the ground because they were pushing on the door and they all start laughing.

BRITNEY
I'm so sorry!

Everybody continues to laugh.  PRESTON hands BRITNEY her bags- which she drops in the parking lot as she stretches.

SHELLY
That's all right.

SHELLY stands as SELENA gets out of the front seat.

BRITNEY
Hey Sel?

SELENA
Huh?

BRITNEY
Balcony.

SELENA
Where?

BRITNEY
Come on!

They laugh and run off.  SELENA goes up the stairs onto the balcony.  BRITNEY stays down but moves over so she's looking up at SELENA.

BRITNEY
Why am I the guy?  The hair?  Yeah.  Nevermind.

SELENA
Ready?

BRITNEY nods as she turns and acts like she's running away.

SELENA
Tony!

BRITNEY turns to face her.

SELENA
What does Tony stand for?

BRITNEY
Antone.

SELENA
Te adoro, Antone. 

BRITNEY
Te adoro, Maria.

BOTH singing
For here you are.  And what was just a world is a star.  Tonight.  Tonight, tonight.  The world is full of light.  With suns and moons all over the place.  Tonight, tonight.  The world is wild and bright.  Going mad.  Shooting sparks into space.  Today, the world was just an address.  A place for me to live in.  No better than all right.  But here you are.  And what was just a world is a star.  Tonight.  Good night, good night.  Sleep well and when you dream.  Dream of me.  Tonight.

BRITNEY climbs up the stairs to SELENA and they hug.

CUT TO:

EXT. ECONO LODGE IN FRONT OF ROOM DOOR - NIGHT

We see the girls about to unlock their hotel room door.

MARTI
Ya'll ready?

She opens the door and the girls step into the room.  SHELLY runs.

SHELLY
Let me in!  I'm going....

CUT TO:

INT. HOTEL ROOM - NIGHT  

MARTI
Oh my god!  What's that smell?

SHELLY
It smells like piss in here!  I can't sleep in a room that smells like piss!

MARTI starts to walk around the room and comes to the air conditioner.

MARTI
It's coming from the air conditioner!  Come here...

SHELLY walks over to the air conditioner.

SHELLY
Oh!  Turn it off!

MARTI turns off the air conditioner then continues to walk around the room as SELENA, SHELLY, and BBRITNEY get settled.  She walks into the bathroom, turns on the TV, and turns on all the lights.

Charlie's Angels comes on TV following a commercial.

SHELLY
This is my show!  I'm gonna get ready for bed.

BRITNEY
No need to announce it!

SELENA
I get first shower tomorrow!

SHELLY
Nah, nah!  I get first shower!

SELENA
I called it.

BRITNEY
I get up earlier than any of ya'll!  I get first. 

MARTI
I don't care.  I'm sleeping in!

SHELLY
For real!

We see BRITNEY get her medicine out of her bag.

BRITNEY
Can somebody get me some water?

Sure, honey.

MARTI goes to the sink and gets some water, then brings it to BRITNEY.

BRITNEY
(Takes the water)
Thanks.
(Swallows the pill)
Uhh...  The water tastes like piss too!

MARTI laughs.

MARTI
Are you okay?

BRITNEY
Oh yeah!  Preston's just put my panties in a twist!
