THE LIAM SMITH SHOW
Episode 2.13: "A Night to Forget"
by Jason Donner

BLACK
The soft beautiful sounds of Enya filter through the darkness as the picture fades to...

THE OCEAN - NIGHTTIME
The waves softly caress the side of a diving boat.

INT. THE BOAT
Inside a room with computers and video monitors, there is a large group of people
crowded around an old woman.  The camera finds it's way through the crowd as the
old woman speaks.  We do not see the old woman's face yet.  BILL PAXTON is in the
crowd listening to her.

				OLD WOMAN
	It's been 86 years, and I can still smell the fresh paint...
	the beds had never been slept in...  well, they were after
	I got there!  The china had never been used.  The toilets
	had never been defied.  Titanic was called "the ship
	of dreams" and it was... it truly was.  Now, who are you
	people again?

				BILL PAXTON
				[moans]
	For the last time, ma'am, we brought you out here to the
	middle of the North Atlantic to tell us about the first
	and final voyage of the Titanic.  Now, you said
	you were there, right?

The camera finally focuses on the old woman's face and we see now that she is
KARI WUHRER looking about 150 years old.

				KARI WUHRER
	Oh yes... I was there.

On the monitors in the background, we see the wreck of the Titanic.  Painted
in large red letters on the hull are the words "Bippo Was Here".

FADE OUT

THEME SONG (Sung to the Theme of "My Heart Will Go On")

When I log on to the information superhighway,
there's a lot of crap to surf through...
Take this silly virtual sitcom you're reading,
Why do you bother looking at this poo?

CHORUS

Here... There... Now everywhere...,
Don't you see that this crap will go on.
Up... Down... and all around...,
Don't you see that this crap will...
this crap will go on and on!

OLE!

EXT. THE TITANIC The gigantic ship sits berthed as her dock as the rich well-to-do load piles and piles of luggage onto suspecting and elderly handlers. In the background, poor immigrants prepare for their voyage to America. In the foreground, KARI WUHRER and GARY THE FANBOY step out of a car. Both are dressed in period clothing. SUBTITLE: 1912 OLD KARI WUHRER [voice over] I had just gotten engaged to Gary the Fanboy of the Las Vegas Fanboys. I didn't want to marry him. You know... he didn't quite measure up where it really counted if you catch my drift. GARY and KARI look at the Titanic KARI WUHRER I don't really see what all of the fuss is about. It doesn't look as big as the Big Red Boat and I really don't think I'll be meeting Micky or Goofy on this cruise. GARY Come, come my dear. You're about 85 years too early for that and, besides, Titanic is this most luxurious ocean liner on the seven seas and the second most fun if you count the Monkey Business. KARI WUHRER Ah, the Monkey Business... now, THAT was a good time! GARY Pardon? KARI WUHRER Nothing. Come on. I've got to change into something more comfortable. I've been holding my breath for over four hours and I think my brain cells are dying. GARY Wouldn't that be kind of like being afraid to suffocate a dead gerbil? Gary and Kari walk up the gangplank to board the Titanic. INT. A BAR Through the windows, the Titanic can be seen almost ready to depart. At a table, LIAM and BIPPO play poker. On the table is a large sum of money, subway tokens, car keys, a few pair of boxers, and a novelty red clown nose. BIPPO You bet all our money! We have nyente! LIAM When you got nothing, you got nothing to loose. Everyone in the bar stops and looks at Liam. They all shake their heads and return to their binge drinking. Across from them, two gigantic Sweds, OLOV and SVEN sit looking at their cards. LIAM Okay, boys... moments of truth. SVEN Yah. Dat it is. So, ve play de game, now? LIAM We do. Sven and Liam glare at each other. Olav begins dealing the cards one at a time onto the center of the table. Both Sven and Liam watch this. Sweat beads on their forehead. Suddenly, Liam lashes his hand out and slaps the top card. LIAM SLAPJACK! Sven and Olav begin cursing in Swedish and throwing tables around. LIAM Isn't this great, Bippo? We've won tickets on the Titanic! BIPPO Yeah, it veddy goot. LIAM Why are you talking with an Italian accent? BIPPO I... [no accent] What? LIAM Forget that! We're going to America! BARTENDER No, mate! Titanic's going to America in five minute. Liam and Bippo look at each other and then bolt out the door. EXT. A CITY STREET Celtic music plays as Bippo and Liam run out of the bar. They both mount bicycles and take off down the street. They come upon a hill and start moving at breakneck speed. Liam sees two men carrying a pane of glass and tries to steer out of the way. No good. The two men see Liam coming and start yelling "NO! NO! NO!". Liam barrels towards the glass but, instead of smashing through it, he hits it as though it was a brick wall. Liam slides off the glass and onto the ground into a bruised and quivering pile. The two men look at the unscratched glass. MAN #1 Wow. Good glass. INT. THE TITANIC Bippo has Liam over his shoulder as the two enter the boat. EXT. THE TITANIC The gigantic ship leaves port and sails out to sea. A giant bumper sticker is plastered across the stern that reads "NO FAT CHICKS". EXT. THE TITANIC BOW Liam and Bippo stand at the bow. Liam gets up and waves his arms in the air. LIAM I'm the king of the wooooooooooooooaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! Bippo pushes him over the side. BIPPO [to camera] It had to be done. FADE TO THE TITANIC AT SEA - NIGHT A smaller ship sits along side. SUBTITLE: STILL 1912 OLD KARI WUHRER [voice over] At Sherbor, we took on another passenger. Her name was Chocolate Treat. History would go on to remember her as "The Unsinkable Chocolate Treat"... but I did here that she did go down a few times during that trip if you catch my drift. INT. THE GRAND STAIRCASE Chocolate Treat walks through in period dress smacking the butts of every man in sight. Gary and Kari watch her pass. Gary looks at Kari and mouths the word "man". EXT. THE 3rd CLASS DECK Liam is sitting there wrapped in a towel and glaring at Bippo. THAD COFFEY is standing nearby. BIPPO Nice ship, huh? Those English know how to make good vessels and it's a good thing, because they sure as hell can't cook! THAD It's a werewolf ship. LIAM Do what? THAD 14 thousand werewolves built this ship. BIPPO If you ask me, you're full of ship. That reminds me... you know, the poop deck isn't at all what it sounds like. If you try to poop on it, the crew gets all pissed off and try to hit you and stuff. Liam's attention is caught by something. Thad and Bippo turn to see what he's looking at and they see Kari Wuhrer sunning herself in a very revealing tube top. THAD Wow, she sure has a nice pair of... Bippo holds up a couple of cantelopes. BIPPO Mellons? THAD Oh, thank you. Bippo and Thad share the cantelopes. LIAM I must meet her. THAD And them... but come on, paly boy, you're more likely to have monkeys fly out of your arse than get next to the likes of those yabos. BIPPO Liam, you had monkeys fly out of your arse? [a pause] What's an "arse"? INT. GARY AND KARI'S CABIN Kari is brushing her hair in front of a mirror when Gary comes up behind her. GARY I was hoping you'd come to me last night. KARI Can't we discuss your shortcomings at some other time? GARY I know you've been meloncolly. I don't pretend to know why. By the way, do I have a blackhead in my ear? Gary tries to show her. Kari looks away in disgust. KARI Can't it wait? Gary gets a huge diamond necklace out of his fanny pack. GARY By the way. I got you this. I know it's not much, but it... Kari snatches it away from him and puts it on. Her head crashes onto the table under the weight. She manages to get the diamond off and rises back up cross eyed. GARY All you have to do is marry me and it will all be yours. Kari looks at Gary, then at the diamond, then at Gary, back at the diamond, then at Gary again. She looks lovingly at the diamond, then at disgust at Gary. EXT. THE DECK - NIGHT Kari is running and crying. The shot slows to slow motion to take advantage of Kari's humongous bouncing cleavage. EXT. THE BOW... OR WHATEVER THE BACK OF THE SHIP IS CALLED Kari reaches the guardrail and looks over at the churning water below. She climbs the rail and prepares to jump. Liam appears behind her. LIAM Don't do it! I'm sure you and your breasts have a lot to live for! KARI Leave me alone! I'll jump! Don't think I won't do it! I will! LIAM No you won't. KARI Don't presume to tell me what I will or will not do! I will! LIAM You won't. KARI I will! LIAM You won't. KARI I will! LIAM You won't. KARI I will! LIAM You won't. KARI I will! LIAM You won't. KARI I will! LIAM You will. KARI I won't! LIAM You will. KARI I won't! LIAM You will. KARI LOOK! I say I won't and if I won't, there's nothing you can do about it! Kari climbs over the rail and into Liam's arms. Halfway through, she realizes that she was outsmarted. KARI That was unfair. You used your brain and stuff, but you did save me and my breasts, so I guess I'm grateful. I'm Kari Wuhrer. LIAM [staring] And what are THEIR names? Gary and ELVIS appear. Elvis is dressed as the Master of Arms. GARY Master of Arms, I want this man arrested. LIAM What? Why? GARY Because he's a poor gutter rat, but mostly because he's looking at my fiancee's bubies. KARI Gary! This man... uh... [whispers] What's your name? LIAM Liam. KARI This is Bob. He saved my life. LIAM It's... Liam. KARI Quiet Bob. ELVIS Well, in that case, the boy should be congratulated. Well done Bob. LIAM Liam! KARI Bye, Bob. Thank you. LIAM It's Liam and, you're welcome. Kari and Elvis exit. Gary remains behind. GARY Stay away from my mellon patch! LIAM What's your problem, man? Why are you acting like such a tool? GARY I'm just that kind of guy. Arrogant, snobbish, and if the boat ever started to sink, I'd probably throw old women and children out of lifeboats to save my own miserable hide, but that is nonsense, isn't it? After all... GOD HIMSELF COULDN'T SINK THIS SHIP!!! Camera pans up to: HEAVEN Among the clouds, a bright warm and white light shines. This is GOD. GOD Oh, yeah? Lighting crashes. EXT. THE OCEAN Lighting crashes in the water. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a gigantic iceberg surfaces and begins to drift purposely away. MUSIC STING FADE OUT. ---------------------------------------------------------- COMMERCIAL BREAK An Admiral stands in front of a Titanic-Class cruise ship. ADMIRAL Here at the White Star Line, we take customer safty seriously. Sure, a lot of people still blame us for that unfortunate incident with that ship. You know what I'm talking about, but White Star has changed. We now offer more life-rafts, state of the art ice detection, and for our less-fortunate 3rd class passangers, novelty Animaniacs floaties. He puts a floatie over his waist. ADMIRAL So remember, for passage to the land of opportunity, no one beats White Star! First Class tickets only $100 dollars! Seriously, we're better now! Even America On-Line had a minor setback once! C'mon, we want your business! ---------------------------------------------------------- INT. THE DECK OF THE TITANIC Liam and Kari are walking along the deck. OLD KARI WUHRER [voice over] Over the next few days, I slept with about twenty men, women, and various other people of undetermined gender and species. Still, I kept thinking about the man who had saved my life. Bob. What was it about this man I was so fascinated by? Was it is innocence? His charm? Or the fact that he had a shiny ring that he wore all of the time. I like shiny things. LIAM ...so, after spending time on a whaling ship, I went to the Artic and clubbed some baby seals. You know, they make the funniest sound when you crack their skulls. KARI WUHRER That's fascinating, Bob. LIAM Liam. KARI WUHRER Whatever. Look, I've got to admit, I am a little fascinated by you. LIAM It's my shiny ring, isn't it? Liam holds up the ring. Kari Wuhrer is transfixed. KARI WUHRER OOoooooo, Shiney. Liam takes the ring away. Kari Wuhrer snaps out of it. KARI WUHRER I don't know what it is. You're so short and dopey looking... maybe it's this ship... there's something about being transported on a long hard piece of machinery that gets me hot. LIAM Really? KARI WUHRER Oh, yes! She takes his hand. KARI WUHRER Come with me, Bob! LIAM Liam. KARI WUHRER Whatever. Kari Drags Liam through a door. In the background, we see HARRY THE HANDYMAN sneaking around. He watches them go and gets out a walkie talkie. HARRY Harry to Gary! Come in, Mister The Fanboy! GARY [over radio] This is Gary. What is it, Harry? HARRY I've been spying on your finacee as you asked me to sir and it appears she just took a small child below deck with her. GARY [over radio] Small child? That's that Liam Smith bum! That cad is stealing my prospective piece of tail! HARRY Shall I follow them sir? Me being your loyal ward and all, I think I should... ELVIS walks up. ELVIS What are you doing? HARRY I'm just talking on my walkie talkie. Elvis takes the walkie talkie and throws it overboard. ELVIS You... IDIOT! This is 1912! The Walkie Talkie won't be invented until 1935! What are you trying to do here? HARRY I... I... ELVIS Say you're sorry. HARRY I'm sorry. ELVIS And it's not going to happen again, is it? HARRY No. ELVIS Okay, now go to your room and think about what you've done. Harry slinks away. INT. KARI WUHRER'S CABIN Kari Wuhrer picks up the heavy diamond necklace and brings it to Liam. LIAM That's the biggest Cubic Zirconium I've ever seen! KARI WUHRER I want you to draw me like one of your French Girls. LIAM What French girls? KARI WUHRER I want you to draw me wearing this. LIAM Okay. KARI WUHRER Wearing only this. Liam nods still looking at the diamond. Suddenly, what Kari said suddenly hits him and he looks at her. We hear one of those "Boing!" sound effects. INT. KARI WUHRER'S CABIN - A FEW MINUTES LATER Liam is sitting with a sketchpad jumping up and down in anticipation. Kari Wuhrer enters wearing a robe. She drops the robe and the room is illuminated with two 1000 watt headlights. Liam grins and drools as the light engulfs the cabin. LIAM My god, they're full of stars! WHITE OUT MONTAGE OF SHOTS A rocket lifts off. A Train goes through a tunnel. A Snake goes into it's burrow. Old Faithful erupts. Fireworks explode. INT. KARI WUHRER'S CABIN Liam is watching the montage on scenes on a TV. LIAM Kari, don't you get MTV or anything? All I'm getting is a channel with all of these sexually innuenadic pictures! KARI WUHRER Later with the TV, Bob. LIAM Liam. KARI WUHRER Whatever. I thought maybe we could have sex now. You game? LIAM [a beat] Yes. Yes I am. INT. A HALL Gary the Fanboy and Harry the Handyman march through the hall. GARY Are you sure she intends to have sex with this Liam Smith ruffian? HARRY Certain of it. He's the one man on the ship she hasn't slept with yet... not counting you, of course. GARY Or you? Harry looks nervous. HARRY Er... right. Gary and Harry enter Kari's Cabin. INT. KARI WUHRER'S CABIN Gary and Harry enter and look around the empty room. GARY They're not in here! HARRY But... But, I was certain! Maybe they went somewhere else. GARY Oh, come on! This is the most extravagant cabin on the entire ship! Where the hell are they going to go and do it? The back of a car? INT. CARGO HOLD The camera finds a 1973 Pinto with it's windows fogged up. A hand slaps the window passionately. Liam Smith and Kari Wuhrer walk up to the car and knock on the window. DONNER pokes his head out. DONNER WHAT!? I'm kinda in the middle of something here! LIAM Uh, are you going to be long? Donner gives him a funny look. DONNER Look, I'll be out in a minute! Why don't you go play pinochle or something? LIAM But we were going to have sex and this is the only car on the ship! DONNER You were going to have sex? With who? Donner sees Kari Wuhrer. DONNER Oh, hi Kari. KARI WUHRER Hello, Donnie. DONNER [to Liam] Watch it, man, that chick is a FREAK! LIAM Donner! I want to have sex now! Get out! DONNER In a minute! Look, it's not like the ship is going to hit an iceberg and sink or anything! EXT. THE CROW'S NEST TRIUPH THE INSULT COMIC DOG and KEVIN RILEY are on lookout. TRIUMPH This is the coldest weather I've ever seen... [a pause] FOR ME TO... poop on. KEVIN Triumph, that didn't make any sense. TRIUMPH It is so cold, Kevin Riley, that my rapier wit has been dulled. I want to go inside where it is warm and safe and where there are ornate Persian rugs to defile. KEVIN I sort of agree with you on that one, boy, but you and I have a duty to watch for obstructions like icebergs and other ships. If we let our attention slip... even for a second... we could put the ship in extreme danger-- CRUNCH!!! The Titanic hits an iceberg. Triumph and Kevin look over the side of the crow's nest. TRIUMPH Oh... we are so fired. INT. THE BRIDGE Arturo, dressed in a Captain's uniform, enters. ARTURO What the hell was that dreadful noise? STACY VaVOOM enters wearing a uniform. STACY It looks like we've hit an iceberg, sir. We're taking on water and we-- ARTURO Is there a man here who can tell me what's going on? I'm not taking the word of some woman. STACY Hey! ARTURO Get over it, sister, this is 1912! Stacy karate kicks Arturo in the gut. ARTURO So... [cough] W-What do you think we should do, ma'am? INT. CARGO HOLD Liam is pacing back and forth. Kari Wuhrer is filing her nails. Donner finally emerges from the Pinto zipping up his pants. DONNER Okay, it's all yours. LIAM Uh, Donner? Who was in there with you? DONNER No one. I was just using it as a suana. What? You...? You thought I was having sex in there? C'mon! This is the Titanic! It's the most luxurious craft ever built with the most comfortable beds and YOU think I'm going to have sex in the back of a car? What kind of uncultured sicko do you think I am? Donner leaves. LIAM Okay! Let's get down to it! KARI WUHRER Liam, my feet are wet. Liam looks down, and for the first time we see that the hold is filled with one foot of rising water. LIAM It looks like the ship is sinking. KARI WUHRER Oh no! This room will be underwater in less than five minutes! Liam opens the car door. LIAM We still have time! Kari Wuhrer looks at him. KARI WUHRER That's not something I'd brag about, Bob. LIAM Liam. KARI WUHRER Whatever. Kari Wuhrer leaves. Liam slumps and follows. EXT. THE TITANIC - TWO HOURS LATER The butt-end of the ship sinks underwater. EXT. A LIFERAFT Gary the Fanboy, Stacy VaVoom, Chocolate Treat, Kevin Riley, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, and several other survivors are crammed into a liferaft. KEVIN Hey, look! It's Thad and Bippo! Man, they look a little pekid to me. STACY That's because they're dead, Kevin. KEVIN Oh. Then why does Thad look like he's been stabbed to death and why does Bippo look so happy? STACY Possibly a final act of homicide. Kind of like you not watching for icebergs and killing hundreds of people on the ship! KEVIN No court in the world would convict me! CHOCOLATE TREAT Well, I can say that, without a doubt, this has been the second worse cruise I've ever been on. STACY You've been on a worse cruise? CHOCOLATE TREAT Carnival. Everyone on the boat gasps. An extra blanket is thrown on her and a few people begin consoling her. GARY Poor Harry... giving up his seat on the lifeboat so that I could live. KEVIN Wait a minute... you kicked him out while we were being lowered into the water. GARY Don't correct me, eagle eyes. Besides, I'm a better man because I have more money. I am a pillar of the community! TRIUMPH FOR ME TO POOP ON!!! STACY Screw this! All in favor of giving him a fate worse than death say "aye"! EVERYONE Aye! GARY Wait a minute! What's a fate worse than death! STACY Simple. When we get back on dry land, Chocolate Treat is going to date you! Gary looks at Chocolate Treat. She smiles. GARY NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! EXT. THE OCEAN Kari Wuhrer and Liam are clinging to floating piece of debris. LIAM Well, THIS sucks. KARI WUHRER I'm so cold. It's a good thing that my implants float. LIAM Kari, I want you to make me a promise. KARI WUHRER Anything, Bob. LIAM I want you to promise that you're going to live and go on. I want you to promise that you'll never let go, okay? Never let go! KARI WUHRER Okay, Bob... I promise I'll never let go. A cel phone rings. KARI WUHRER Oh, excuse me. Kari lets go of Liam's hand and he sinks under the black water. KARI WUHRER [on phone] Hello? [pause] Oh, hi Tembe! [pause] Nothing. [pause] Yah, like totally. [pause] Well, it was nice... but the boat sank, like, a few minutes ago. [pause] I know... I'm like, totally bummed. [pause] Look, Tem, I'll call you back. Yah, it's on roam right now. Kari hangs up. KARI WUHRER Bob? [a pause] Bob? [long pause] Oops. INT. BILL PAXTON'S BOAT - 2000 150 Year Old Kari Wuhrer sits. She is wrapping up her story. OLD KARI WUHRER So the boat sank and we all died... the end. BILL PAXTON You all died? OLD KARI WUHRER Yep. All died. And after that, I sued the crap out of those bastards. Poor Bob... I don't even remember what he looked like. All I remember is that he desperately wanted to have sex with me. BILL PAXTON By the way... last night was marvelous. OLD KARI WUHRER I know. I broke a hip. BILL PAXTON Truthfully, though... I don't think I believe you when you say you were on the Titanic. I mean, that sounds a little implausible right now. OLD KARI WUHRER Does it? Well, come closer. I have a secret for you. Bill Paxton comes closer. OLD KARI WUHRER Closer. He comes closer. OLD KARI WUHRER Closer. He comes closer. OLD KARI WUHRER CLOSER!!! Paxton is now inches from Kari Wuhrer's face. BILL PAXTON What's the secret, Kari? Kari Wuhrer gets out the big diamond and whacks Bill Paxton in the head with it. Paxton falls on the ground in convulsions. OLD KARI WUHRER Never doubt the word of an old lady, bitch! EXT. PAXTON'S BOAT Old Kari Wuhrer walks along the deck as Enya plays. She holds the diamond over the side and prepares to drop it. OLD KARI WUHRER This is for you, Bob. Suddenly, like in the first Friday the 13th movie, a badly decomposed Liam jumps out of the water, grabs Old Kari Wuhrer, and drags her into the murky water. CUT TO: INT. LIAM'S APARTMENT Liam awakens with a start. Bippo and Thad sit on both sides of him on the couch crying and eating popcorn. Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" plays over the TV. BIPPO [sobbing] I never get tired of that movie! Jack and Rose couldn't be together in life, but they could in her dreams. THAD [wailing] I thought it was really cool when the boat sank! Thad and Bippo howl in tears. Liam covers his head with a pillow. LIAM Thad, Bippo... shut that damn movie off! FADE OUT THE END
