Pick A Number

INT. LIVING ROOM
Jen and Matt sit next to each other on a couch.

Jen's reading a book.

MATT
Guess what number I'm thinking of.

JEN
Not now.

MATT
No seriously, take a guess.

JEN
OK, 14.

MATT
No.

JEN
12.

MATT
No.

JEN
27.

Numbers go fast and Matt either shakes his head or says "NO"

JEN (CONT'D)
Decemberteenth.

MATT
That's not a number.

JEN
Taster's Choice.

MATT
That's coffee.

JEN
I dunno. 18.

MATT
Sorry, I was thinking of 42.5. You lose.

JEN
Lose?

Two men WEARING PANTY HOSE OVER THEIR HEAD...

...stick a SOCK in Jen's mouth and carry her away.

Matt looks down at his NOTEBOOK:

There are a number of stick figures with names above them:

Jen, Ian, Karl Rove, The Grocer, Family Guy Writing Staff.

He makes an "X" over Jen's stick figure.
