INT. AN EMPTY POOL HALL NIGHT!

ACOUSTIC music. Inside a SALTWATER FISH TANK, two crabs fight

over a leftover MOZZARELLA STICK.!

BARTENDER (O.S.)!
Hey did you just put food in there? Dont feed
the fish!!

A BARTENDER (40) walks over to the tank, sticks his hairy hand
in, and pulls it out to grab a METAL TONG from the bottom
cabinet. He SHAKES off his soaked hand.!

Behind him, a MUSICIAN plays on stage. Various BILLIARD PLAYERS

are scattered across multiple tables. A 12-BALL glides across
the turf and drops into a CORNER POCKET. The music fades. !

INT. A WHITE GRUNGY BATHROOM NIGHT!

A DRUNK (28) stands nested against the tiled walls, eyes half-
open. With little hesitation, he swallows some pills and drowns
them down with sink water. He looks up at his reflection.!

DRUNK (IN THE MIRROR)!

Dont do it.!

Leaning forward, he hits his head on the glass.!

DRUNK!
I already made the decision. !

DRUNK (IN THE MIRROR)!

Well in that case!

DRUNK!
(signing Neil Young beat)!
Tonights the night.!

He stands, half-balanced, and wobbles out the door.!

INT. BATHROOM HALLWAY NIGHT!

Silence. Suddenly, the drunk stumbles onto the walls and the
floor thereafter. There are no witnesses.
