INT. HEAD COCKPIT

Brian is shuffling through screens, flipping switches and
turning knobs. With each attempt his face torques in
confusion. On his screens are Heathers empty chair and
Richard with his feet up.
BRIAN
All of the systems controls are
malfunctioning!
INT - BASE COCKPIT
A hologram of the human body with a glow in the stomach
appears. Richard pulls a lever; the lights engage and then a
buzzer disengages. Richard lights up then sighs.
RICHARD
Yea, I got nothing either. Stomach
knots are backing up digestion.
A stomach growl is heard

INT.

HEAD COCKPIT

Brian is slumping in his chair.

BRIAN
These functions are cyclical.
English?

RICHARD

BRIAN
This exact system malfunction
occurred at the last family
reunion.
RICHARD
When Uncle quincy pantsed us!
Richard runs out of frame and returns naked with suspenders
and a bow tie.
RICHARD (CONTD)
My world premier.
BRIAN
Its a small world after all...

A robotic voice is heard off screen. A holographic display of
the human body appears with the heart cockpit glowing.

All primary functions have been
rerouted.
Rereouted?

RICHARD

Brian signals to Richard over the screen.

CUT TO:
INT. HEART COCKPIT
Heather is deep within her cockpits chambers with a blacket
and a pillow. The screens at the controls light up with Brian
and Richard.
RICHARD
Come on bro. Whats the matter?
There are tons of fish in the
sea...
Heather is silent.
RICHARD (CONTD)
...and Ive got a pole to catch
them!
Brian rolls his eyes on screen.
BRIAN
Heather... How can we assist you?
HEATHER
Whats the point... If maggie
doesnt want us then who will?
BRIAN
Heather... Jake is talking. Can you
at least engage autopilot.
Heather sits up and sniffs.

INT. CAR NIGHT
Jake and Eric sit in the car. Jake is driving and talking
aloud while Eric sits in silence.
JAKE
Its just like in the game. If
defense is too strong, find another
hole!
ERIC
Man, its too soon for that
conversation.
JAKE
Im sorry. I know you guys were
like, long time but, theres no
going back now... right?
ERIC
I suppose youre right.
Jake begins texting furiously on his phone.
JAKE
Listen, there will be a lot of
familiar faces tonight. Just let
loose and have fun!
ERIC
Just do me a favor please. Dont
tell anyone yet. Im no sure Im
ready for the extra attention.
Jake looks over at Eric awkwardly and quickly puts his phone
down to continue driving.
JAKE
How about some music?
Selena Gomezs The Heart wants what it wants begins playing
on the radio. Split screen Heather and Eric who
simultaneously start crying.
JAKE (CONTD)
FYI, if you cry at this party,
youre disowned...

EXT. HOUSE NIGHT
Jake and Eric time lapse through the front yard. Upon

Hey man! Im so sorry to hear!
Eric is semi-swarmed by people giving their condolences on
the break up.
JOHN
To new beginnings!
ZACH
Bitches be crazy!
JENNY (AWKWARDLY)
Want to take a shot?!
Jake and Eric pull into a private part of the house.
ERIC
Dude what the fuck!
JAKE
Sorry! You told me to be discreet
about 45 seconds after my tweet.
ERIC
Great, so everyone and their mother
knows.
JAKE
And the NSA! Sorry buddy, gotta
make a leak myself.
Eric glares at Jake as he exits.

libations, hoever...

HEATHER
What are you doing?

hotties!
CUT TO:

Brian is frantically trying to regain control of the body.
BRIAN
Hostile readings indicate that

Theres no time to allow emotional
interference.
RICHARD
Heather dont just stand there!
CUT TO:

BLAINE
Lets hope we dont meet again. For
your sake.
Blaine walks away.
CUT TO:
INT. HEAD COCKPIT
Brian is squinting both eyes shut. He opens them in relief.
BRIAN
Captains log, our fate has been
predetermined by a supernatural
force. This vessel is doomed.
RICHARD
Dont be so dramatic.
CUT TO:

INT. HOUSE NIGHT
A girls hand is seen picking up the shot glass. Jessie is
revealed.
JESSIE
Hey, I think you dropped this.
ERIC
Oh! Thanks!
Eric reaches out his hand.
ERIC (CONTD)
Um Eric! I mean Im. Um. Im Eric.
JESSIE
Im Jessie. Im here because of
Jake.
Eric stops to think. He gestures them as a couple.
Tinder?

ERIC

Shes takes a moment with a look of confusion.

JESSIE
Oh... no no. I dont pay for stuff
like that. What about you? Grinder?
She gestures back at him as if theyre a couple.

No. High school. Seems like forever
ago now.

CUT TO:
INT. HOUSE NIGHT
Eric becomes blush and acts nervous.

8.
ERIC
Ok, listen, about Jakes tweet... I

and confused.
JESSIE
What are you talking about?!
Eric freezes.
CUT TO:
INT. BASE COCKPIT
Richard is hooked up to a polygraph.
RICHARD
She doesnt know!

BRIAN
You lower my IQ...

Short montage of drinking ensues. Jessie, Jake and Eric begin
taking shots together.
CUT TO:

All pilots are clearly intoxicated.
RICHARD
Brian send me down video feed of
all the girls at this party.
Brian rolls into view on his screen.
BRIAN
You got it Dick! You know Richard,
I love you. Where would we be,
without the D.
Heather stares quietly and stoically.
RICHARD
Ok so she wants the D. So does she.
Wait, is that a she?
BRIAN

statistically inaccurate.
CUT TO:

10.
INT. HOUSE NIGHT
Jake is holding up a shot glass with Eric and Jessie.

on his shot looking dazed.
CUT TO:
INT. BASE COCKPIT
Richard is looking concerned as red flashing lights are going
off in his cockpit.
RICHARD
Weve got a predicament! (chuckles)

HEATHER
Do it pussy.

thing. Lets just party!!!
RICHARD
Say that one more time.

Maybe we should call you a vagina.
CUT TO:

11.
INT. HOUSE NIGHT
Eric tilts his head and drinks the shot. Everything begins to
blur. Eric stumbles across the living room and exits onto the
pool deck. Jake turns to Jessie apologetically.
JAKE
Awe man. I gotta go take care of
him.
JESSIE
No! Dont worry. Ill go check on
him.
Jake hesitates and then smiles. Jessie exits.
CUT TO:

pain and grunts. He looks around breathing heavily.
CUT TO:
INT. BASE COCKPIT
RICHARD
Digestion is completely water
logged. I have to flush the system.
BRIAN
Whoa. Thats the first time youve
sounded intelligent.
RICHARD
Thats because you dont have the
balls to drink like I do. Ready?
Brian salutes and collects his drunken composure.
BRIAN
Engage in 3.. 2..
CUT TO:
EXT. POOL DECK NIGHT
Jessie is seen in the background running up to Eric as his
face torques in pain.

12.

ERIC!

JESSIE

Calling him turns his head and causes him to spew vomit all
over her clothes. She shrieks and runs inside embarrassed.
CUT TO:
INT. HEAD COCKPIT
Brian sits with his mouth gaped open. Hes glancing at
monitors.
CUT TO:
INT. HEART COCKPIT
Heather is sitting in her chair with a horrified look on her
face.
CUT TO:
