SONNY

SCENE 17

Tueday 1:35PM

Open on Aaron sitting at a table in a dimly lit LAX airport bar.  It’s not actually inside the airport but rather a couple miles down the road just past the Shell station.He’s got a bowl of peanuts in front of him and is surrounded by 6 of the finest ladies in the history of history.  After a moment, the camera whips over to the door where Fredrik enters.

AARON

Did anyone see you pull up in your Prius?

FREDRIK

No, why?

AARON

Most of the people here can't drive and I don't want to upset the balance.

FREDRIK

Oh OK. How did you get here??

 

AARON

My wife dropped me off on the corner... she'll be back at 4:30

 

Aaron sits, eating another peanut and admiring the company. (He eats the whole shell because his Grandma told him it's a good source of fibre.)

Cut to POV from Aaron as he looks around the table. The ladies are a wonderful sight and smell fantastic.

AARON

Don't be shy Frederico, say Hello!

FREDRIK (Mildly confused)

Why are you/we here?? What are their names?

 

AARON

Sonny needs an American airport departure lounge and I thought this could be an option. Cheap rent and good smells.

 

Fredrik, meet Rose, Rose, Rose, Rosie, Rosanna and Rosetta Stone. Ladies, say hello to Fredrik. He's not from here.

 

FREDRIK

Hi Rose's

THE ROSES

Hello. Giggle. Hello. Giggle

FREDRIK

Nice work Aaron.

We cut to a 2 shot as Aaron leans into Fredrik's ear.

AARON

Thanks man. We should come here every day and hang. These ladies are loving me. Watch this.

Aaron pushes his bar stool back and stands up. After a beat, he runs like hell across the room crashing into a Malboro cigarette dispenser.

THE ROSES (toasting their Chablis)

 Hahahahahahahahaha!!!

Now bleeding from his shin and hip, Aaron sits back down at the table next to Fredrik and leans in for a quiet moment.

AARON

My pain makes them laugh.

FREDRIK

Wow, Aaron, that's really deep.

AARON

I know. Now what do you say we go next door to the McDonalds and poop out these peanuts.

FREDRIK

Let's do it.
