Karaoke Bar by Eli INT. KARAOKE BAR - NIGHT Parks walks over to Elena. She sits there with her friends. Elena is timid. She shies away from Parks. PARKS Hi! I'm Dave, how are you? Elena makes a small wave toward him. PARKS Yeah, I know, that Carlos guy is kind of a handful. ELENA You're not all like that, are you? I feel like he's the type to give candy out of a white van. PARKS Only the good kind. Besides, he's only been allowed to grow a 'stache recently. A karaoke machine sits on top of the stage. A drunken Don stumbles up it. He wears a pair of jeans and a T-shirt. His head is still shaved. ELENA That your friend? PARKS Yeah... From on stage, Don shoots Parks a wink. PARKS (mouthing) What the fuck are you doing? Elena blushes at Don. ELENA He's kinda cute. I like a guy who can sing. PARKS I uh... I don't think I can sing. Parks's gaze changes to that of shock. Don grins as he changes the song. REO Speedwagon - Keep On Loving You plays. PARKS Oh, fuck. DON You should've seen by the look in my eyes, baby! Other cover their ears, some in the crowd wince at Don's singing. DON There was somethin', missing! Don points to Parks and motions for him to get on stage. DON You should've known by the tone of my voice, maybe! But you didn't listen! Parks looks over at Elena. PARKS If I do this, I'm getting your phone number. Deal? DON You played dead, but you never bled, instead you lay still in the grass all coiled and hissin'! IND PATRON Get off the stage, retard! Elena grins at this. ELENA No promises, cutie. Parks makes his way past the other patrons. DON And though I know all about those men... Still I don't remember. Cause it was us, baby way before then and were still together! Parks makes it on stage. DON And I meant! Every word I said, when I said that I love you forever... Don looks over at Parks and gives him a nod. DON Ladies and gentlemen, David fucking Parks! Parks takes the mic from him. PARKS And I'm gonna keep on lovin' you! Cause it's the only thing I wanna do! I don't want to sleep, I just want to keep on loving you! The guitar solo starts. Don makes his way off stage and smiles at Parks. PARKS This one is for the nice brown hair lady, Elena! PARKS And I meant every word I said, when I said that I love you I meant I love you forever! And I'm gonna keep on loving you! Cause it's the only thing I want to do! I don't want to sleep, I just want to keep on loving you! Elena takes a napkin and starts to write her phone number down on it. She walks over to Don and passes it to him. Parks's look changes to fear and confusion. PARKS I don't wanna sleep, I don't want to sleep, I just want to keep on loving you! The song ends. Applause rings out through the audience. Parks puts the mic back and comes down the stage. Don shoots Parks a grin. DON She wanted me to give you this. Parks looks down. The napkin reads, "Elena" with a phone number following it. PARKS Holy shit. Don pats Parks on the back. DON Go get her, Dave. I have someone of my own already. Parks smiles at this. With a sense of purpose he walks to the outside of the bar. FADE TO BLACK.
