INT. WAREHOUSE - EARLY MORNING
CAMERA (STEADICAM) holds on a man in a suit, sitting behind a desk, on the phone: BARRY EGAN (Adam Sandler)
...yes I'm still on hold...
And what was this?
I'm looking at your advertisement for the airline promotion and giveaway?
This is "Fly With Us?"
It's hard to understand because it says in addition to but I can't exactly understand in addition to what because there's actually nothing to add it too...
I think that's a type-o then, that would be a mistake.
So, just to clarify, I'm sorry: Ten purchases of any of your Healthy Choice products equals five hundred miles and then with the coupon the same purchases would value one thousand miles --
That's it.
Do you realize that the monetary value of this promotion and the prize is potentially worth more than the purchases?
I don't know...I mean: I don't know.
DISTANT SCREAMING IS HEARD...THEN SILENCE. Barry hears this, gets distracted, then back to the phone call;
Can I call you back if I have any further questions...? Can I get your extension?
It's extension 215 if you want to try me back.
Ok. Thank you.
He hangs up the phone and walks through his warehouse. It's fairly non-descript place, boxing materials, etc. Products seem to be mainly silly novelties (pens that light up, key chains, novelty toilet plungers, etc)
He lifts a LOADING DOOR and LIGHT POURS INSIDE, WASHES OUT THE FRAME....he's silhouette....CAMERA follows him out...stays overexposed and over his shoulder as he looks down towards the street.....
...his business is situated at the end of a common driveway, shared with a few other nondescript places and an Auto mechanic....distant SOUND of a car SPEEDING and SKIDDING....
....hold, then:
....a JEEP CHEROKEE comes FLIPPING into FRAME, far off at the mouth of the alley, on the street. The JEEP ends up landing RIGHT SIDE UP....HOLD....
.....Barry flinches a little, stares.....the JEEP sits idle for a moment....then it drives off....then:
A speeding, small TOYOTA comes into view at the mouth of the alley, screeching to a halt. The passenger side door opens and a small, wooden HARMONIUM (like a portable organ) is placed on the ground. The TOYOTA speeds away.....
....a moment or two later another NON-DESCRIPT CAR flies past very fast....
BEAT. Barry squints, looks at the small HARMONIUM sitting alone in the middle of the street.
He hesitates, looks around, holds, then walks back inside his warehouse.
CUT TO:
INT. BARRY'S WAREHOUSE - THAT MOMENT
Barry on the phone again;
....I'm not exactly sure what that means...
If they break or something. What is it, plastic?
It's a plastic, yeah.
Right. Alright, lemme call you first thing tomorrow, I'm gonna run the numbers, see what's what and I'll give you a call back --
Did you have my home phone number?
For what?
If you wanted to call me back I could...
I'm fine, I have your work number.
Ok...because of the time difference if you needed to call me early?
It's fine. I can just get you at your office.
Ok.
Ok, bye, bye.
Bye.
He hangs up the phone and walks outside, CAMERA follows him again, out to the alley, over his shoulder......he looks down the length of the alley at the Harmonium. HOLD, THEN:
A small FORD ESCORT pulls into the driveway, around the Harmonium, parks......a young woman named LENA LEONARD (Emily Watson) exits the car and starts to walk down the length of the alley towards him.....CAMERA stays over his shoulder and turns into a profile 2-shot;
Hi. Do you work at the mechanic?
No.
They're not open yet?
They don't get opened until eight.
BEAT. Barry gently steps back and out of the FRAME.
Is it ok if I leave my car you think?
I don't know.
I thought they opened at seven. (beat) If I left my car would it be ok?
I don't know.
Do you know them.
Not very well.
Can I ask you, can I trust to leave my keys with you and give them to you so that when they get here you could give them to them? BARRY Ok.
You think it's ok where I left it, right there?
I think that'll be fine.
Lena hands him her keys, he steps back into FRAME, THEN:
There's a piano in the street.
Yeah.
BEAT.
Ok. Maybe I'll see you later. Thank you for your help.
Thank you.
Maybe I'll see you later, when I pick up my car?
Ok.
She walks away....he starts back inside the warehouse, hesitates, watches her go.....right before she reaches the end of the alley, she glances back quickly, over her shoulder....he dodges inside real quick.....
HOLD THE EMPTY FRAME......then he steps back out.....looks off at the Harmonium.....and the empty street.....he looks around some more....then he makes the long walk down the street.
Barry stares at the Harmonium a little bit, looks around, both ways, then casually picks it up and walks back towards his business.....
He brings it into his office and places it on his desk. He tries a few keys....pressing down...there's no sound.
He presses his hand on the foot pedal and presses a key and a small note is made.....BEAT....he does it again....and holds the note.....
CUT TO BLACK.
INT. WAREHOUSE - OFFICE - EARLY MORNING
Barry enters the warehouse with harmonium and runs into his office. He places it on the desk and hits a key: no sound.
Barry goes to his knees and unlatched the bellows. He pumps the bellow, reaches up, presses a note, and another...then stands up into CU. and presses the 5 note melody......SUDDENLY: THE SOUND OF THE POD BAY DOOR SLIDING....
....Barry spins around, scared shitless, sees: LANCE, who enters the warehouse, Barry rushes out to greet him;
Hey, good morning, Barry.
Hey...Lance....can I.....
You ok?
Yes I'm fine.
Why you wearin' a suit?
Um....I bought one. I thought maybe it would be nice to get dressed for work, can I show you something?
Yeah.....you got here early huh?
....yes.....
They enter into the office, Lance sees the harmonium;
What is this?
I don't know. I think it's a piano....a small piano.
That's not a piano.....I have a piano at home.....where'd you get it?
Lance walks around behind the harmonium....leaving Barry alone....towards the warehouse......he starts to back up a little.....
Well.....it was dropped on the street.....
Sal, Ernesto and Rico all start to come into work behind Barry.....he sees them: CAMERA pushes in on Barry....
Why is it here? Barry....Barry?
...it just....I don't know....I don't know.
LAND IN CU. ON BARRY. CUT TO BLACK.
TITLE CARD Punch-drunk Love Movie
(maybe color blooms/overture here)
INT. WAREHOUSE/MAIN AREA - DAY
CAMERA pushes in slow as Barry and Lance talk to TWO CUSTOMERS about the plungers which are on display in front of them. They speak all over each other doing shop talk, etc;
You do guaranteed sale? etc.
We back our plungers 100% and we do ask for a 30 to 60 day display on the floor.....
In the b.g., RICO over the laud speaker says:
Barry, your sister's on line one.
Barry doesn't move....
Yes.....we do ask for....30 to 60 days....
I think you have a call?
Rico turns around, without loudspeaker;
Barry, your sister is on line one.
They look at him a moment....
I'm just gonna grab this call real quick?
ANGLE, REVERSE. Barry turns and heads for the phone nearby at Rico's station;
(into phone)
.....This is Barry.
Hey it's me, it's Rhonda. Are you coming to the party tonight?
Hi, Rhonda, yes I am.
Bye.
She hangs up.
Ok. Yes I'll see you tonight.
Barry takes a few steps back to the Customers:
Sorry about that: One thing I wanted to point out, Dave, is that we've just received a large order from the Rio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas where we're going to be supplying their hotel rooms with the dice and money plunger, so these babies are really moving well right now...
(over loudspeaker)
Barry, your sister's on line two. Barry, your sister's on line two.
Barry tries again to ignore it....
With the Aqua Blast Whales and Speed Boats we're gonna ask for a display at eye level for the little kids.....
Barry --
-- excuse me.
Barry walks back to the phone;
This is Barry.
Hey it's me, what are you doing?
Hello, Karen. I'm just working.
Yeah but what are you doing?
I'm just working....I have some customers here.....
So you can't talk to me?
I have a few people here, I can't really chat right now.
"chat?" Did you just say "chat?"
Well, I can't talk though --
You just fucking said "chat," that is so -- what are you now? "chat." I'm just calling to make sure you show up at this party tonight.
Yes, I'll be there.
Fine. You get back to chatting with your precious customers.
Ok, bye-bye.
Barry snaps out of this, turns, claps his hands in confidence and walks back to the customers and says:
Sorry about that.
I didn't know you had a sister?
.....Well yes I do.... (beat) But one more thing I wanted to tell you guys about the new plungers is that we're making the handles now in a non-breakable material called.....
He takes one of the plungers and to demonstrate smacks it on the table....it SMASHES and rice falls out everywhere....
Ok...this is one of the old ones, I think. Lance do we have any new plungers around?
Lance moves to get a new plunger....
That was a little embarrassing and that was one of the old handles so let me get a new one to show you --
(loudspeaker)
Barry, your sister is on line one.
Barry holds, then;
How many sisters do you have?
....I have seven.
CUSTOMER #2 Holy shit. You have seven sisters?
They're calling because we're having a party tonight for my sister and the they're just calling....can you hang on for just two more minutes....?
Barry walks this time into his office......CAMERA tracks with Barry to his office, seeing him try and shake this off.....He EXITS FRAME.
CUT TO:
INT. WAREHOUSE - OFFICE - THAT MOMENT
Barry enters, takes a quick moment to size up the harmonium.....He picks up the phone and through the conversation gently moves the harmonium to a different spot on the desk;
This is Barry.
What are you doing?
