TAKING ORDERS
INT: GATORTAIL RESTAURANT-BRIAN'S OFFICE-9 A.M.
BRIAN ALREADY ON PHONE WITH BILL WARD AT COLUMBUS WINERY
BRIAN
"Morning Bill, did we get our stuff back, was there anything still left?"
BILL
"Yea, that was some crazy stuff, some of the things that have been going on have really caught me off guard...you do have a thing about drawing a little attention!"
BRIAN
"Yea, I should have warned you, trouble and me have a strange relationship with each other, but one way or another we get through it...can't really explain it, it just happens..."
BILL
"Well, they didn't get all of it, only about nine thousand out of nineteen, we ended up losing about five hundred on the road somewhere, so I'm pumping what's left in the truck, check for some impurities, maybe run it through the sieve, aerate it a bit, and if it's okay with you, let's start bottling this stuff up and start shipping, I have some other clients I need to start production on?"
BRIAN
"You've got my vote, I'm ready to get this on the road...ah let me talk with Sandy, and we'll start making some calls...how soon can you get us some cases made up?"
BILL
"I can have them bottled and boxed up by the morning, will that work...say about twelve cases, twelve quantity, about a hundred and forty-four bottles or so?"
BRIAN
Sounds like a plan, get back to you in the morning, bye!"
SANDY COMES INTO THE OFFICE
SANDY
"So, what's the word...must have been talking to Bill huh...do we have anything left to sell?"
BRIAN
"Oh yea, almost all of it...get this, we only lost about five-hundred gallons, is that bizarre or what?"
SANDY
"That is amazing, so what's the game plane?"
BRIAN
"He's going to start bottling and boxing it up...he's got other clients to do, and I don't think he wants anymore drama from us...nearly killed the guy as it were!"
SANDY
"Well, it did though, didn't you hear?"
BRIAN
Hear what?"
SANDY
"Bill's assistant, that Julio guy that worked with him, turned up brain dead...so if he has any family that will be a hell of a lawsuit...just found out this morning, so sad!"
BRIAN
"That's weird, Bill didn't say anything...kind of just brushed it off!"
SANDY
"He makes wine and spirits, been in the business a long time, probably seen just about everything!"
BRIAN
"There was something a little odd about that dude though, like he had other motives...I mean if you think about it, he would have been the only person who would have known the status of our batch..."
SANDY
"Yea, I think he was the one who suggested that Bill go into production with the rest that we had too!
BRIAN
"Guess it doesn't matter now, what's happened, has happened, we'll never know the truth anyway?"
SANDY
"Yea, well how many times have we heard that one?"
BRIAN
"Too many, it's making my brain spin when I start looking back...it's making me numb!"
SANDY
"Oh, don't worry, I'm numb too, I can't feel much of anything!"
SANDY
"Bill's assistant, that Julio guy that worked with him, turned up brain dead...so if he has any family that will be a hell of a lawsuit...just found out this morning, so sad!"
BRIAN
"That's weird, Bill didn't say anything...kind of just brushed it off!"

(next morning)
INT: BRIAN'S HOUSE-COMPUTER ROOM-8 A.M.
BRIAN AND SANDY HAVE SPENT MOST OF LAST NIGHT AND THIS MORNING CALLING CLUBS, RESTAURANTS, AND RETAILERS SEEING IF THEY CAN GET CASE ORDER COMMITMENTS BY JUST COLD CALLING
SANDY SEEMS TO BE MORE OF A NATURAL AT CLOSING ORDERS THAN BRIAN
BRIAN
"I don't see how you were able to sell that many cases, sight unseen, no tasting, just a sheer vote of confidence, where were you when I was negotiating with my vendors, I'll bet you could have gotten me all kinds of discounts...I'm going to start letting you do all my renewals when they come due!"
SANDY
"I would do anything for you, you know that...I could say it was a woman's touch, but you'll notice I don't ask if they would like to buy, but rather when and how much...I don't waste time letting them think that this is a sell or not...in my mind I've already sold it!"
BRIAN
"That's basic panic marketing, I know how that works...just the old impulse commands, like you better order this now or there won't me any left...like that?"
SANDY
"Yea, but see the differance between you and me is that I also breathe heavily into the phone and promise them raunchy sex!"
BRIAN LAUGHING
"Yea, that always helps, how come I never thought of that?"
SANDY
"It wouldn't work with you, the guys would be getting the wrong message and you'd probably start cracking up anyway..."
PHONE RINGS, BRIAN PICKS UP
BILL WARD
"Hey Brian, how are the wine sales going, I saw your thing on the Facebook thingy?"
BRIAN
"I didn't know you Facebook?"
BILL
"Actually, I don't much anymore, but all my stuff is so linked together with my clients that every time someone belches, it sets off all my bells and whistles."
BRIAN
"Sorry to hear about your worker, the Julio guy?"
BILL
"When we have some time, I tell you a few things about him...you'd be surprised!"
BRIAN
"Yea, thought there was another side to all this?"
BILL
"Well, anyway...got the truck loaded, I'm taking about 20 cases, had a little more production last night than I thought...you want me to drop 'em off at the Gatortail, what?"
BRIAN
"That's perfect, your the best...man, we'll be over there in about an hour, bye!"
(1 Hour Later)
BRIAN AND SANDY PULL UP IN SEPARATE VEHICLES TO THE GATORTAIL
GOING INTO KITCHEN THEY SEE JOHN AND HIS NEW ASSISTANT THAT SANDY HOOKED HIM UP WITH, GLENDA THROWING DOUGH AT EACH OTHER, BOTH OF THEM COVERED IN FLOUR
BRIAN
"Hey guys, what's going on?"
JOHN
"We have pie making contest, but Glenda cheats, she took my apples and my puff pastry!"
BRIAN
"Well, you need to learn to share...your not getting anything accomplished doing it this way!"
WALKING BACK TO THE OFFICE
SANDY
"Oh, leave them alone...John hasn't had a piece of ass in while..."
BRIAN
"I'm starting to think Glenda hasn't either!"

HEARING TRUCK PULLING UP TO SIDE OF THE BUILDING
IT'S BILL DRIVING THE COLUMBUS WINERY TRUCK BY HIMSELF
WALKING INTO THE OFFICE
BILL
"You know, if your delivering locally, we could probably knock this out in one day!"
BRIAN
"As a matter of fact, everything is local...that would save a little time...so I thought you had other clients to take care of?"
BILL
"Well, the way I figure it...with the kind of luck you have, I want to make damn sure that you get this stuff distributed, don't forget...there's a lot more back at the winery...I'm just getting you started, it's my little token of gratitude!"
SANDY
"Ahh, that's so sweet of you Bill, hey did you want me to ride along?"
BRIAN
"You might as well, you sold most of it, plus somebody has to provide the raunchy sex to the clients!"
BILL
"What was that...am I missing something?"
BRIAN
"It's just a little inside humor..."
SANDY
"He talks like that when he's horny!"
SUDDENLY JOHN AND GLENDA GO TEARING ACROSS THE PARKING LOT, COVERED IN FLOUR, CHASING EACH OTHER
BILL
"What's gotten into them?"
SANDY
"They're horny, too!"
