SYNOPSIS:

Steve and Connie are two young professionals with an unusual knack for mishaps; Steve has a crush on Connie. Mr. Whiskers, Steve's cat doesn't seem to be happy with the newcomer in his owner's life.

Steve invites Connie over for dinner one night hoping to score with her. He is so tense and aroused, that he finds himself overdoing mishaps; he almost kills his date chick, with a wine bottle cork. Mr. Whiskers is always in the way, trying to be the center of attention.

Connie's act does not come any better; from the moment she steps into Steve's apartment, Connie starts falling over things, stepping on the cat, and ends up spraining her ankle while striking Steve's balls.

Steve and Connie are in the middle of acting out cool, while they are both hot for each other.They try to enjoy their date, and start dancing; meanwhile Steve's neighbor downstairs, does not seem to be enjoying their music at all. The noise from their music awakens him and he is on the verge of doing something really bad.

After they demolish the dinner table and what's on top of it, Steve and Connie start acting their true intentions. Mr. Whiskers loses interest in them; he now only cares about the few chicken thighs spread all around on the floor.

BREAKDOWNS:

STEVE - Aged between 24-30: Ethnicity: any Average joe to good looking . Articulate in English, able to act goofy stuff. Ability to dance is a plus. Partial Nudity for him (bare torso only). He acts tense, with a bit of a lack of self-confidence, but also self absorbed.

CONNIE - Aged between 24-30 Ethnicity White, but preferably brunette. Above the average in her looks; she needs to be pretty, sexy. ( I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder) Articulate in English. ability to dance and perform falls and spins is a plus. (She will fall backwards in a scene (there will be a mattress to receive her so no worries) . She also needs to accept kissing and at times flirting physically with her co-actor. NO Nudity for her. She acts a bit bitchy, sexually controlling.
