61INT. L STREET BAR & GRILLE, SOUTH BOSTON -- NIGHT

The bar is a bit more crowded than usual. Will and Chuckie walk back to their table, carrying beers. They pass a table of GIRLS, local regulars getting just as bombed as the guys. These girls are a little overdone. Too much make-up, too much hairspray, and too much body for such tight outfits. One of the girls, KRYSTYN, smiles at Will who seems subdued.

KRYSTYN

Hi, Will.

WILL

How you doin', Krystyn.

They pass the table of girls. Chuckie looks at one, ruefully.

CHUCKIE

I didn't get on Cathy last night.

WILL

Why not?

CHUCKIE

I don't know.

Chuckie turns back to one of the girls, calling out:

CHUCKIE (cont'd)

Cathy! Why didn't you give me none of

your twat last night?

A girl at the table, CATHY, holds up her PINKY FINGER and smiles-- revealing a mouthful of MISSING TEETH.

CATHY

Fuck you and your Irish curse, Chuckie!

CHUCKIE

She's missin' teeth, Will.

Will nods, not really into it tonight.

CHUCKIE (cont'd)

Plus, it's like, five to two Morgan

ends up marryin' her. There's only so

many times you can bang your friend's

future wife...

They get to the table. Will's heart just isn't in it.

WILL

I'm takin' off.

ALL

We're goin' late night.

WILL

I'm tired.
