January 5 - "Body Language"

A bar.

TWO, female, sits at the bar, surrounded by men.

ONE, male, enters, notices TWO. She winks at him. He nods.

ONE sits at the bar, away from TWO, an empty seat next to him. Buys her a drink. BARTENDER gives it to her.

She winks at him. Drinks. Doesn’t move.

He walks over to her.

Queen’s “Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy” begins.
“I can dim the lights and sing you songs full of sad things...” through the end of the first chorus (”That's because I'm a good old-fashioned lover boy”), he tries to get her attention, to no avail.
“Ooh let me feel your heartbeat (Grow faster, faster)” through the second chorus, he moves over to her, pushing a few of the other men away. TWO smiles and nods.
As the song continues, other MEN, drunk, start trying to beat ONE up, but he swiftly manages to get out of the way of each blow.
By the end of the song, TWO has fallen for ONE’s charms.
BARTENDER snaps his fingers in rhythm.

“Killer Queen” begins.
TWO makes her way onto the bar. BARTENDER pours her a shot, she downs it. ONE watches.
At “At anytime an invitation you can’t decline,” she gestures for ONE to join her on the bar. He does.
“Well versed in etiquette” - she hands them shots, they down them.
The first “Recommended at the price...” she goes to kiss ONE. Fake-out.
During the instrumental, she starts crawling around on the bar as MEN stuff dollar bills down her blouse. This goes through “...playful as a pussycat.”
During the final “You wanna try...” TWO kisses ONE, passionately.
Then, she steps off the bar, onto one of the bar stools, then onto the floor.

We end with “Crazy Little Thing Called Love.”
ONE and TWO are the only people left in the bar and they let loose.
