Forgetting Sarah Marshall

FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL by Jason Segel December 18, 2006 WGAw INT. PETER’S APARTMENT - LATE AFTERNOON PETER BRETTER (26) watches television alone in his dark, creepy apartment. A fake MUMMY lies in the corner. Vintage magician posters and a giant, creepy French Clockwork Orange poster adorn the walls. Cigarette butts, overflowing ashtrays and bottles of liquor crowd the table and a GIANT PLASMA TELEVISION adorns one wall. In the corner are a guitar and keyboard. Peter sits, smoking, watching THE ISLAND with SCARLETT JOHANNSEN. THE COLONY IS ADDRESSED BY A MAN ON PLASMA SCREENS THROUGHOUT THE COMPOUND ---Peter has made it so his computer is being mirrored on his GIANT PLASMA. He sits in front of his computer’s camera so that his GIANT FACE is on the tv. He is wearing a Jacket and TIE. PETER (mimicking THE ISLAND) The lottery will begin in twenty minutes. The lucky winners will get to smoke a gigantic joint. Peter chuckles to himself and lights a joint, which he watches himself smoke on TV. He tries to make smoke rings. We pull back to reveal, that he is wearing only the top half of a suit and boxers. -- Peter’s watching the Red Shoe Diaries. The part that Duchovny narrates. -- Peter opens his fridge. It has nothing in it except for some old orange juice. -- Peter’s on his couch drinking old orange juice from the carton, smoking, watching an informational about a treadmill. -- Peter’s on the phone. PETER (CONT’D) Yeah. I don’t need the elliptical.
