Instant Regret

in #script4 years ago

INT. KITCHEN
A man looks in his freezer and reaches for a tub of ice cream. And arm juts in front of him, holding a pill box for Instant Regret! The man takes it, gulps down a pill, then looks sad and queasy.
ANNOUNCER When you're about to do something you know you'll regret, try Instant Regret first! All the regret, none of the guilt!
The man just looks sad.
INT. HOUSE PARTY
It's really crowded. A thirty-something couple sit at a table with fake excitement. Really loud music. He gestures towards the Beer Pong table for her to join him, they're about to go, when that hand pops out with the pills.
ANNOUNCER Know you're too old to go clubbing, but feel the need to regret a night out later? Save time with Instant Regret!
The 30-something couple pop some pills, then look sad, and get their coats and walk out the exit.
INT. BISTRO
A blind date man presents a still-in-its-original-package Jar Jar Binks action figure to a woman wearing a "Han Shot First" T-shirt. There's tension.
ANNOUNCER You know this isn't going to work out, so why waste your time?
The waiter comes out with two tall, fizzy glasses, alka seltzer style, with the Instant Regret box between them. The two drink the drinks and immediately look relieved, if disappointed.
Logo fills the screen: Instant Regret: When you don't have time for hope.
ANNOUNCER Also available as an e-cigarette.
