Int. Tenjune (the Meatpacking District)
(Beyonce’s Single Ladies blares over the speakers)
Abby: Oh I love this song! Come on Eli, let’s dance.
Elisha: I don’t like dancing, besides, I don’t want to leave Moishe all alone, he gets scared.
Brandon Jacobs: [pulls Eli aside] Hey man, cut out that Moishe shit. Get out there and dance with that fine ass bitch of yours before I step in and plow that.
Elisha: My what ass what?
Brandon: Your wife, Eli. Go dance with your wife.
Elisha: Fine, just let me ask the DJ man to put on some dance music.
Brandon: [looks confused, runs through load-bearing wall, stashes gun] Whatever.
Elisha: [approaches DJ booth] Excuse me, Mr. DJ man. MR. DJ MAN?!
DJ: [emerges from underneath tables] Yo, what up my MVP?
Elisha: What do you say we get an old fashioned line dance going on in here?
DJ: Sorry bro, I just finished off my stash, but if you need some coke the bouncer can hook it up.
Elisha: No I don’t need any Coke, I just scored a Shirley Temple from the waitress.
DJ: [looks confused] So what you want, man?
Elisha: Do you have any Kenny Chesney?
DJ: [doing his best Axel Foley impression] Get the fuck outta here.
Elisha: Yes, sir.
[Elisha walks back to his table]
Abby: What was that all about?
Elisha: Honestly, I have no friggin’ clue.
Abby: So will you dance with me?
Elisha: Sure. But let’s stay close to Moishe.
Abby: You know you can just sit down and I can dance for you.
Elisha: Really? That sounds good.
