THE SCENE
As filming commences.
WHAT WENT WRONG!
BEN: Hey, everyone, it's ok,
you don't have to try and 'surprise' me!
KEMPER: Surprise you?
BEN: Yeah. There's no need.
KEMPER: Ben? Um, I'm not sure
what you're going on about. Anyone have any ideas?
Much shaking of heads.
BEN: Come on, you guys! I know
you've got something planned!
KEMPER: Really, Ben. I don't
think anyone has the slightest idea what you're going on about.
BEN: Yeah, right! Ok, I'll
give you a hint... 'Happy Birthday to you'...
KEMPER: It's karaoke day? I
thought that was Thursday? (to BRIAN) That's thursday, right?
BRIAN: Yeah, I thought it was.
BEN: No! Not that! You guys
are such kidders!
KEMPER: (to TRACY, his PA)
Karaoke Day is Thursday?
TRACY: Yes, Sir. Every other
Thursday.
BEN: (disgruntled) Ok, look!
Very funny!
ANTH: No, it's definitely Thursday.
And I'd know!
KEMPER: Yeah, I thought so!
You going to do 'It's Raining Men' again? You do it really well?
ANTH: (blushes) Well, seeing
as you asked so nicely.
BEN: Hello? Anyone listening?
GIGI: Oh, can I do 'American
Pie' this time?
KEMPER: Yeah, sure. Tracy,
put Gigi down for 'American Pie'.
BEN: (angrily) Hey! This isn't
funny anymore! Why's nobody listening to me?!
GINNY: Who wants to do a duet
with me? 'I Got You Babe' maybe?
WAYNE: Oh, can I? Please?
GINNY: I dunno, Wayne. You
don't really have the range.
WAYNE: I know. But I'm tired
of doing Barry White.
BEN: (shouting) It's my damned
birthday, ok! Someone? Listen to me!
CLAUDIA: But you do Barry White
so well, Wayne.
WAYNE: Ok! (smiles) My public
expects!
BEN: IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!!!
ROCKNE: I'm definitely going
to try 'I Will Always Love You' this time!
KEMPER: Go for it, Rock! If
anyone can, you can!
BEN: Screw you all! (storms
off set)
KEMPER: What about you, Ben?
You going to do 'Barbie Girl' again? Ben? Ben? Hey, where did
Ben go?
