Yes, I am the king of barbecue.
CRASH
Okay, your highness. How about
cleaning up?
PAUL
Get a minion to do it.
CRASH
Seem to be running surprisingly
short on them.
Crash wanders away from the barbecue and stares up at the
house. It is one floor but with two rooms built on the
top.

PAUL
Shannon’s family must be minted.
I mean, look at it.
A young woman called Shannon with sparkles in her hair is
leaning over the side of the porch, sees them, starts
dancing over.
CRASH
21. A home like this and a body
like that.
SHANNON
Hey guys. How you doing?
PAUL
Lucky man. Lucky, lucky man.
SHANNON
Is he pissed? Are you pissed?
PAUL
Yes. But I realise that and love
myself despite my faults.
SHANNON
Very forgiving of you. Now take
your forgiveness elsewhere and
let us talk.
Paul wanders off, picks up another can of beer on the way,
replacing it with his own.
Shannon pulls her hair loose and shakes a few tiny pills
from her sparkle stick. She licks her finger, picks one
up, puts it in her mouth and offers her hand.

The sounds of the party are louder now but the night is

around and holding her thin grey fleece.
FELIX
You nearly done back there?
(BEAT)
No-one expects perfection when
you’ve got a 5 year old.
