never underestimate the importance of

nice

weather nor should you ever take Beauty

for

granted I spend most of my day making

stuff

up I'm a dreamer with far too many

dreams but I'm a lucky

guy I turned my dreams into a successful

writing

career but my career's falling off a

cliff and I've not had a job in months

things are a little tight well not a

little a lot and now all I think about

is

money after coal mining right

screenplays is the worst job in America

there's no glamour no

friends it's hard to get work and then

every job is temporary but that's what I

do what I chose what I love but without

regular income great weather and Beauty

are not enough to overcome our money

problems I have a few ideas to get out

of this debacle but my experience is

that plans don't usually work out as

well exactly as planned anyway we'll see

I can tell you one goddamn truth about

life that is not overrated and always

works out evening

cocktails oh sorry I'm Nick McCoy Lana's

husband Lana and I met when we were 17

and then separated for a little while in

college and then we got married in our

late

20s hello where you been hello pla Reen

what you been up to just taking some

notes for my new script well you're

going to have to put it away cuz she'll

be here any minute oh sorry forgot make

you a drink yeah something simple easy

martinis it it sounds good my cocktail

recipes never vary a drop and in that

sense you can say I'm a

perfectionist a little bit of perfection

you a lot of Heaven are you talking to

me no to our new friends what are you

talking about what new friends there's

nobody

here thank you

how is it little bit of

perfection what is that

what

that

camera it

is Nick are you recording us not exactly

what are you doing I'm streaming

us you mean people are watching us

online hopefully Nick

God why did you say anything this is

another one of your ideas isn't it yes

of course it is why why well for

money let me explain what are you doing

who are you talking to to our new guests

oh Our

Guest Lana is got a great smile she's

very photogenic you need to explain this

to me to me Nick yeah to you and to

them as I mentioned I haven't made a

dime in months nor has Lana so I found

this streaming platform and people can

watch us and we get paid by ads

eyeballs people can chip in a few bucks

Okay so they want

to people are watching us right now

hopefully let me

see

37 37 people are watching yeah and the

more people that watch the more money we

make how much money

I don't really know it's just the first

few minutes we got to give it some time

you know few weeks a few weeks no no no

no yeah it's too weird Nick it's really

not that odd people do this all the time

on Facebook and Tik Tock and other

places I don't like it if you've got a

better idea on how we can make some

bucks real quick have about it

up until

recently Lana had a lot of regular

commercial work she sold yogurt and bank

accounts and wine on

TV a lot of prescription drugs too I

also used to be very good at stroking

car hoods tell them that you just

did it's okay okay if we're going to do

this I don't want to see the camera can

you just hide it

please

okay are there any

more hidden cameras

oh there is that one yeah it

is there's

another oh another is you can barely see

them come on just give it a try I mean

what's the downside uh the loss of our

privacy well then I'll only stream for

Limited a few hours yes not forever no

limited time yes I don't have time for

this she's going to be here any minute I

have to change I don't even know her

name her name is Emily Thatcher remember

and why did we invite her over again

because I ran into to her in the hallway

and she said she has something really

[Music]

well it's just don't disappear it landed

out there

somewhere should happily found

it morning Mrs

mccoid

odd it has to be

here so what do you think all I know is

that your neighbor is dead from from a

single gunshot that entered your condo

after passing through her that and that

you think you maybe heard two doors

closed simultaneously but you don't know

which ones yeah I think that I heard to

but I can't swear to it

okay so you think the person who killed

Miss Thatcher is on this floor I think

that but then again maybe

not there are internal fire escapes

right across the hall from her condo

right next to

yours and the killer could have slipped

into those stairs and escaped do you

think

that no one will admit to that yeah but

do you think that I think

everything it's a

mystery so you didn't know her no just

said hi when we passed in the hallway

you don't know why she wanted to come

over nope she said that there were some

things that were concerning her on the

floor She wented my

thoughts and you have no

idea I'll be in

touch I don't like that guy why because

he's lazy and stupid he didn't even find

the B bullet he's and where's his uh his

backup I think San Diego's just short on

Cops Nick this is a homicide not a

trespassing you didn't even

look old fashion darling

can I continue telling our guests about

our backstory how long are we going to

be doing this how about until we see the

first

deposit fine we're going to do this they

need to know my side of the story My

backstory how about it Nick gets ideas

ideas are Nick's job but sometimes

Nick's thoughts go and wander he needs

an editor me to the camera sweetie

so Nick's thoughts can sometimes become

eccentric sometimes Extreme as in this

case but Nikki does always come back to

Center well

usually things always do work out it can

be trying not all that trying it can be

trying but fun

sometimes before Lana's commercial Works

she had a very lucrative and successful

run on a daytime soap

yes I had a huge following passionate

loyal then they wrote me out of the show

and I will never understand why that's

the way it goes in the biz up one day

forgot in the next but fortunately I

managed to move into TV commercial

work but she's been unable to even

secure commercial work for months it's

been a year okay 12

months Nick has tried his hardest to

shore up our

finances I worked at ride sharing I even

worked as a bartender but I was too slow

so as our fortunes declined we found

that starting the night off at home with

a proper cocktail is the most delightful

part of the day and having a cocktail

here at home has been a huge Money

Saver

and with some well-timed

music we are off to the

races we also found that with some well

Tim Puffs we can take a simply

delightful evening to Crazy

[Applause]

[Music]

spectacular I want to talk about the

murder

Nick oh come on it's

important Let It

Go no I will not I'm scared to death and

I am so so not kidding about the two

Death part there is a murderer on this

floor nobody knows why nobody knows who

nobody knows

anything we could get killed now you're

starting to think like me and I don't

like it ran it in a little I don't trust

this detective he's a half wit we don't

have to like him it's not about like

Nick it's about trust I don't trust him

finding the bullet after a murder is

basic he couldn't even do that

I think we need to look into it

ourselves the

murder yes obviously what have we been

talking

about we don't have those

skills l

[Music]

you haven't told me what you're writing

about

it's called Moonlight

myth I like the

title and Peter West bit you remember

him no not really no he's an executive

producer he's got a big fat wallet okay

good

excellent yeah he produced my last group

mhm so I'm certain that he'll read

this what's the story

no what

why Nick you always tell me the story

not this one it's too

personal this is about your ex isn't it

a little mistake from your late 20s

that's why it's too personal huh no

isn't

it I'm

struggling I need some room to think it

through

okay Nick you're good you're a good

riter and you're our only hope right

now you'll figure it out you always do

just let me read it before you send

it

maybe God I have never seen you so hung

up on a story before look the story is

tough that's a Hail

Mary suppose it doesn't sell

yeah can we talk about the murder have I

not been clear on this one this is

police work it's not Nick and Lana work

it is our

business I'm scared Nick even the police

said the murderer is probably on this

floor we have to do something

please come

on get me one of those wacky ideas

contrary to what you think babe babe oh

I am so north of

29 you're the North Pole

mhm I'm sorry the wacky ideas aren't a

dime it does and they take time not for

you they don't come on you're the Hot

Shot Rider I'm the actor you tell me

what to do flesh it out come on how are

we going to solve this

mystery okay just take it back to Ground

Zero yes okay

we need to rely on our single best most

cultivated

skill getting high what we invite

everybody over on the floor one by one

and we give them drinks and we loosen

them up right cuz the cops can't do that

then we grill them yes exactly we'll get

them nice and high dig deep ask the

hard-hitting questions and then Presto

somebody is going to confess yeah

something like that but we need a very

specific plan

yes that is let's play D babe it's too

easy for you we'll say that we weren't

here the night the murder occurred yes

okay so then when we ask them probing

questions they're not going to think

it's so odd correct

so what are we going to do about

them they a watch

sure stay tuned

guests we're officially on the case now

what you

wanted yes let's get

[Music]

started what are you doing well it had

to go straight didn't

it plus it hit something a Ricochet I

didn't even think of that yeah but hit

something could be

anywhere what's this

[Music]

what it was in the seat of the

stool how hard was that told you the

cops an idiot

[Music]

hey

nice than you so for

coming my pleasure Nick he's here this

is our condo

nice cocktails with Nick

and

Lana thank

you Sam Jones sorry about the name how's

that uh pretty boring Sam Jones a

total well what's in the name in my case

tedium nice to meet you I'm Captain Jack

Sparrow good

one mixing up a new drink B

night I sure could use one of those you

had one before thought Nick just made it

up huh no a date not doing all that well

on uh super

singles well I'm sure things will look

up for you I don't know been married

four times and I'm beginning to think

it's all on

me well the date night is bourbon

grapefruit syrup up in a touch of

coconut water

okay sounds odd uh sounds good I

guess if you don't like it Nick will

make you whatever you want

okay you know it's hard to believe that

we have never met I really don't know

anyone on the floor us either how long

have you lived here uh four just over

four years but we've said hi yes we

have

cheers what do you think

good hey it's free how can I

complain well the drinks are free but we

do have a modest cover

charge to cover expenses you understand

that's a that's a crazy idea

IDE oh no we do charge for our

company a good

[Music]

one we only take

[Laughter]

cash I didn't even know her name much

less what she look like Barrett thinks

the killer lives on this floor yeah

that's what he told me

so that means you two are suspects cuz I

sure as hell didn't do

it well us either how do I know

that we weren't here well how do I know

that I mean really guys how does anyone

know

anything but you you were here that

night I was

but I'm way way down the hall I heard

the shot but I thought it was outside

well bullet came right through my office

wall landed out here

[Music]

somewhere that's her bedroom

wall it

is yeah

she was murdered in her

bedroom well how do you know that maybe

the bullet went through two

[Music]

walls

[Music]

oh how about that laugh

[Laughter]

there's a pretty obvious

question yeah like he didn't know her MH

but he knows the location of her

bedroom how did he know

that we just had our first

breakthrough probably

[Music]

what are you doing she's going to be

here any minute I don't want us to smell

like weed I want to smell like you she's

not going to be able to tell who smells

like

what she will she won't

[Music]

no no I spent years trying to forget

about it and he made me remember it was

the worst moment of my life horrid we

were just talking like people too and I

had no idea when you ask about my

writing work you brought it all back I'm

a writer you're a writer I thought we

had a connection no you need to be more

careful you need to not ask such

questions I can only offer my sincerest

apology how could I have known you need

to be careful think just think think you

think look if I had known that you were

raped by your editor I don't believe

that for a moment you were methodical

unrelenting it was all designed to

humiliate me again questions over and

over again you are a hateful mean

disgusting

man and Mr shitty

riter you smell like

[Applause]

marijuana I hope that you're all

enjoying all of

this what do you make of

her the word crazy comes to

mind it's kind of get better doesn't

it no no

coincidence but he was not good for you

offers for you to do feature

his bread and

butter he didn't want to

jeopardize his regular commissions with

a chance that

you might fail on the big

screen you were

bullet

Barrett said he didn't find the

bullet did you give him the

about it we say piss all you like all

right good every now and then I like to

drop in a [ __ ] sometimes [ __ ] too tell I

don't piss like I used to how about you

Nick still pissed with the same bigger

you did in your teenage years can't say

I remember my teenage toilet habits

wizard takes me a while to start a leak

and even now it's just a dribble I uh

take goax you know what can't say I do

imagine after a lifetime of taking

chemicals to get high now I got to take

chemicals to take a piss what happened

to us

huh got these weird side effects of them

like

what well I better not say a little too

weird but I will say this it tends to

show up when you're having sex really m

i I don't really have sex anymore so not

much of an issue then how do you know

about the side

effects I do experiments

[Music]

oh you guys smoke yes yes we do

[Music]

no Nick I

wasn't actually a hippie as I said more

like you'd say today I was on the

[Music]

Spectrum summer

69

Jesus I live in in San Francisco here at

Golden Gate Park it's the center of the

universe bye the best year of my life

nothing like it ever

before I not going to be anything like

it ever

again where the world wanted to be what

world wanted to

be that was great music from that era

[ __ ] Janice

jlin Jimmy

Hendricks Jefferson Airplane joer

cooking I don't know that one this

Berkeley group that Janice overpowered

and they were good but she was [ __ ]

great

oh cuz didn't end well for any of

them most of them died

badly became

[Music]

drunks and

then there's

now what do you mean the

singular Mantra from 69

was Do

Your

[Music]

Own

Thing think about

that

do

your

own

thing seems simple enough right sure

yeah it's not not simple cuz here's what

it means

without

regard without

concern without

thinking do

whatever you want is harmless in the 60s

or even liberating after the 50s yeah

really but those four

words launched a national philosophy

that gave rise to millions of us

doing our own thing

now and that's where we are

now everybody's an

island everybody's doing their own

thing I think my generation totally

[ __ ] things up

well what do we get from him

nothing I told you we're out of our lead

you're the one who started asking about

his life and that led him down hippie

Lane we need to stay focused on the

murder not be asking these people about

their personal Liv are you saying we

don't know how to handle an interogation

what I'm saying is that we need to

Target our questions concentrate on the

main points let's shut it down if you

shut this down I am spraying black black

paint all over your stupid cameras

that's our

income how much have we

made how much

3347 what are we going to

do we can't pay the

mortgage we have to

sell we have

Equity how much of that is going to go

paying off our

debt

[Music]

chunk how do we ever get into this

mess circumstances and most of

it that and we weren't paying attention

when the ground was

shifting we can move back to LA there's

more work there maybe

so by the way my script's ready to send

over to West Bay

shot was so muffled I wasn't certain

what did Barrett ask a lot of questions

about her were you here no-

nope this case is weird how's that I

don't know it's like a murder and Barett

doesn't seem to care our take exactly

yes then again the city is short cops so

that no nope it's a murder you would

expect more you would yeah yeah Barett

told us that the killer probably lives

on the floor makes sense oh but this

neighborhood worries me homeless and all

I have a gun and I carry it with me all

the

time oh I don't take no [ __ ] I can be a

mean son of a

[ __ ] look I hate to cut this off early

but I have to transition back and it

takes me a while to do that I have work

ton

what do you do I'm a cop I can't believe

I said I'm a cop you're not a cop no I

am a cop oh my God I said it

again on a scale 1 to 10 how do you

think we

did I got

three two

maybe it's a cute dress uhhuh

[Music]

I finished your

script

and it's deliciously heartbreaking

darling so the premise is

interesting two people in search of

their very best day

ever it's kind of scary actually

scary

how who wants to think that their best

day is behind them nobody nobody wants

to think that what's the point of going

on with the future

Bingo that's what I'm struggling

with what was yours your best moment

private Jesus Christ Nick what is with

all this privacy stuff all of a sudden

what are you afraid of

them no it's

just doesn't include

you it's

fine tell me anyway

tell

them

okay I was 10 years

old

and my father who didn't really do much

of anything with

me took me to my first baseball game

and it was nighttime we walked into the

stadium

and it was just this Riot of

[Music]

energy men smoking cigars

and down in bottles of

beer the field was this bright

green GL

it was

[Music]

electric reached over and grabbed his

[Music]

hand I knew there never be another day

like that

[Music]

hey Nick Peter here got a few sure I got

Sarah on with me hi Nick full disclosure

Sarah works here used to be my secretary

but now she works in script development

cuz she's also my fiance oh well

congratulations thank you look I've

skimmed your scripts I right at all she

likes it Parts anyway it has potential

but the end's brutal I mean the lead

dies the co-lead uh what's her name

Carla yeah Carla she's lost her lover

for a second time this time he's

murdered that's the biggest part I don't

like okay I was just hoping you could

soften the end just so it's happier not

happier but more friendly somehow it

can't be that kind of

ending fade nway dies at the end of

Chinatown Bonnie and Clyde die was then

this is now come on

Nick those are old movies we need

new I can rework it then do it no

problem okay good okay work on it fix

the end doesn't have to be merry Poppin

but it can't be Chinatown consider it

fixed and leave the strip club murder in

that seem [ __ ] rocks work on it and

I'll read the whole thing okay the

lead's killed at the end in the strip

club if you want happy you can't have

that too you're the writer figure it out

bye how do it go with West

Bay well the good is

he had a few notes so he's

interested what were the

notes he didn't read the

scripts ah he poor assistant

dude he was just

freelancing God I hate this business

sometimes I

know

cocktails

yes after all I've done after all I've

done Do You Love Me Now do you love me

now after all I've

[Music]

[Applause]

said teeth think about your

teeth who was

it wrong

door wrong door yeah

[Music]

I'll get it

we need to talk can we come in

[Applause]

sure Mrs McCoy afternoon what can we do

for you

gentlemen I'm just letting everyone on

the floor know that William here has

taking over the case I'm

overwhelmed William's a straight shooter

hardworking

honest what you see is what you

get

okay anything new remembrances ideas

yeah

we found this when did you find it today

today yeah it was uh in the bar tool

today

yeah small caliber probably from a

pocket pistol not very

professional I'll need to take it

of

[Music]

course hey Nick how you doing hey Peter

good good you got a minute yeah you got

a lot of really good things going on in

the story the new end works perfect but

the story has two fatal

flaws let's hear

it in sc43 I have a well drawn crazy guy

take the lead into the basement to [ __ ]

him in the ass but he's saved by a minor

character a nobody I do first off that

can't happen to the lead he can't get

drilled like that he'd be humiliated big

stars don't get butt [ __ ] plus that

makes the little guy there nobody the

hero you have it backwards the lead is

the hero fix it turn it around

somehow okay second flaw how does this

nobody save the lead basically he talks

him out of it wrong can't do that the

guy's crazy Nick you did a great job

creating this crazy character he's a

certified loon he's a whack job but

logic doesn't work with crazies facts

just don't work with crazies oh facts

hardly work with us normals got it deal

with the crazy like he is crazy fight

crazy with crazy and when you do that

it'll all come into Focus this could be

great Nick I'll think it through

you're getting there figure it out

you're the writer act like it you're in

charge of the

story

bye I have a new idea about the

murder

what suppose that the killer does not

live on this

floor suppose doesn't even live in the

building okay so why do you think

that the building's internal fire escape

stairs right across from Miss statue's

unit Barrett mentioned it two three

steps

okay that's a quick way off the floor so

should we go check out the internal fire

escape

stairs what are you doing I'm got to

check all the floors why look for Clues

good luck Buster that's nine floors

[Music]

find anything yep what

lipstick my first clue it's a

woman ballpoint

pen another clue I hav't a clue and

this no name the address is all smudged

Mick that's not odd that's

weird is there no

name this cake is called calling me

where did you find it third floor under

the

stairs what do you think about

Clues well lipstick is the odd man out

why it's meaningless what woman do you

know is going to take nine flights of

creepy stairs what about William could

be his yeah

maybe he said that n he came over that

was the first time that he got into it

his It Could Have Lied

maybe all right well where are we now

can I have another piece yeah when you

tell me where we

are I don't know should we open the

package no doesn't belong to us it's no

one's there's no name maybe it's yours

in fact I declare it to be yours

where you

going you know

[Music]

very obvious

one yes we need to go back to

basics we need to throw a big cocktail

[Music]

everyone for coming and for being such

wonderful neighbors here

make this a weekly event let's not turn

this into a love in

Wizard the killer of Mis statures Among

Us

Jesus in just a few minutes I will

reveal what are you saying I'm saying I

know who killed Miss you're a twit

you're not smart enough to have a clue

I'm not sticking around for any [ __ ]

interrogation I'm leaving you're staying

everyone's staying

[Music]

I'm going to list a few odd occurrences

that led me to discover who killed

misser poor choice of words darling they

were all odd

occurrences first you

William in

your personal life you possess the exact

same weapon that killed Miss Thatcher

correct yeah that makes you a prime

suspect wrong look you got to do better

than this or I'm going to let everyone

go oh I

will Sergeant Russell what you got a

nasty temper [ __ ] you that doesn't mean

anything oh I think it does his anger is

a hair trigger and I believe

dangerous he killed in

Vietnam and he's admitted to having

several arguments with

misser Sam you said you didn't know Miss

Thatcher yet you told Lana me the exact

location of her

bedroom I know how the building's laid

out every

unit that's hard to believe well it's

true and let's have it all out right now

you both lied to me you told me that you

weren't here the night of Thatcher's

murder yes we did lie but we did it to

find the truth the killer the truth we

wanted to find the truth [ __ ] you you're

not a cop it's not your

job go ahead Nick but you better step it

up yeah so who did it wise guy get on

with it name him you're right Jimmy

there's no reason to drag this out but

first I have three tell all clues that I

found in the

stairwell a very common ballpoint

pen a

lipstick and this package with a smudged

address and strangely there's no name on

it this package is the key

clue Lana and I

opened the package and it was empty

correct L

correct and

finally the most telling clue of

all Sam you were right the killer lied

when she said she wasn't here the night

the murder occurred she was in fact

home so it's a

she yes this a she

Lana you hired the delivery man to kill

Miss ster and your plan was for him to

escape down the internal stairs but

estabon saw the

escape and like every one of us here he

knew the delivery

man estabon was blackmailing you wasn't

he and so you invited him to your

favorite reading spot the very remote

very private

very quiet

laa and you shot him in the

face and for the two murders you'll

likely get life in prison and a $250,000

fine a fine which I personally know you

cannot

pay I knew she did it she has too many

questions she lied to me I bet you put

her up to it you Weed

Hound stop it

it stop

it you're all

wrong no I won't have it she can't just

go away not like this I won't have

it I've loved you Lana for

years I only moved into this building to

be with

you I've loved you so much so long

you were a gentle

soul

sweet caring

woman but only on

TV I loved you but now I hate you I hate

you I hate you I hate

you we never returned my affections

I said hello to you in the hall and you

barely dignified me with a hi just just

a stupid lazy

High I recorded all of your shows

hundreds I

memorized your greatest lines I wrote to

you but I got nothing

back I beg to meet

you nothing

I started a fan

club and for what

nothing so I wanted you

dead but they can't just take you away

no you can't just go

away you had it right Nick but the

delivery man I hired to kill Lana was

just plain stupid and and he got the

wrong unit right

Rose and he escaped down the

stairs yes I buzzed him into the

building and yes he escaped down the

stairs and

thaton he was mean what what are you

saying he was blackmailing me so you

know

bye-bye and while I'm at it I shot my

nephew too he was mean to you Lana

they were all

[Music]

mean but you've been mean too Lana all

you had to do Lana was love me as much

as I loved you that's

all you see

Lana it's all your

fault I don't know how you figure it

Nikki well there was never any logic to

the

crime no facts nothing really

nope in the absence of logic it had to

be

crazy and crazy always reveals
