Phrases (Script-Concierge Service)

Have you ever heard of that Twitter feed "Shit My Dad Says?"  Well I could almost have my own. All of these were taken from watching one hour of TV with my dad.

"Hot chicks love pigs."-while watching a Geico commercial..
"Maybe he should man up and quit being a bitch."-watching a DirectTV commercial
"What if I lose my bowels in the restaurant? What if?"-watching a commercial for Crohn's disease
"Concierge service? What is that, a prostitution ring?"-commercial for some credit card
"They got a serpent in their tub!"-commercial for jacuzzi walk-in tubs

Concierge Service

EXT. FRONT OF A RITSY HOTEL  NIGHT

BO and CLINT exit an old, beat-up pickup truck parked in a parking spot and walk towards the entrance of the hotel.

CLINT
                   (with a Texan accent)
                   We don’t have to stop here.
                   I know it’s late, but if you
                   would just let me drive I
                   could have us back in Crockett
                   while you take your little
                   beauty nap.

BO
                   (also with a Texan accent, and
                   very frustrated)
                   You think I’m gonna let YOU drive?
                   Did you forget the whole reason
                   why we’re even out here is because
                   you got your stupid ass locked up?
                   I still don’t understand why or how
                   you made it all the way out to
                   Dallas, considerin’ you ain’t got
                   no license or people that call
                   you “friend.” You’re lucky to have
                   a brother like me.

CLINT
                   I told ya it’s a long story. Let’s
                   just say, hot chicks love pigs.

BO
                   Well anyway, let’s just stay here
                   ‘till morning. I’ve never actually
                   been to a hotel, so might as well
                   do something exciting while I’m in
                   the big city.

INT. HOTEL  NIGHT

BO and CLINT are greeted by a DOORMAN who begins to grab the few bags that CLINT is carrying.

CLINT
                   Whoah! Hold on there! What are you
                   tryin’ ta do?

DOORMAN
                   I’m just trying to help you with
                   Your bags, sir. It’s part of the
                   concierge service.

BO
                   Concierge service? What is this,
                   a prostitution ring?

DOORMAN
                   No. It’s just what-

Interrupting

CLINT
                   Ohhhh no. This is the last thing
                   I need. I can’t get mixed up with
                   with yall again.

CLINT grips his bags and rushes back out the door. BO follows.

EXT. HOTEL  NIGHT

CLINT and BO walk back to the truck.

BO
                   I’m so sorry, Clint. I spend hours
                   driving out here to get you outta
                   trouble and then I end up leading
                   you into a place like this. I
                   didn’t know. This is why I never
                   go into the city and why I don’t
                   like you goin’ either. Here, take
                   my keys. We’re not stopping ‘till
                   we get home to Crockett.


BO tosses keys to CLINT and both get in truck. Long, aerial shot of them driving away.
