INT. JULES’ BATHROOM - EVENINGCLOSE ON a picture of JULIA “JULES” COBB IN HER TWENTIES,stunning in a bikini. Jules has no filter, and if sheweren’t so aggressively friendly, you’d say she was pushy,sarcastic -- even relentless. CUT WIDE TO REVEAL JULES AT40, NAKED (post shower), comparing the old picture to hercurrent self in the mirror. She pokes at her body, tugs ather arm skin, pulls her belly tight so there’s no wrinkles,etc. Then, re: her reflection, pissed:Fuck!JULESSHE DIMS THE BRIGHT LIGHTS, THEN TAKES ANOTHER LOOK:JULES (CONT’D)Much better.As she checks out her butt and shrugs, pleased:EXT. HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL GAME - NIGHTCUT TO:SEAHAVEN is a small town on Florida’s Gulf Coast whereeveryone turns out for high school football games. The crowdis full of a specific type of woman: 40s, dressed young forher age: too much skin, too much Botox, just too much. ANGLEON a banner that reads “Welcome to Cougar Town!” TheSeahaven Cougar football team bursts through the sign,TRAMPLING the Cougar mascot. As the team bounces around thefield, we hear Jules’ dialogue as narrative V.O.:JULES (O.C.)You know how they say fifty percentof marriages end in divorce...JULES (dressed appropriately cute) sits with her son TAD (17)and friend/assistant LAURIE KEENAN (28). Tad is quietlyhandsome, sarcastic and his relationship with JulesVACILLATES BETWEEN FRIEND AND PARENT. Laurie is a happy-goluckytownie, but she can stand up for herself. Jules seesher potential and treats her like a little sister/protege.JULES (CONT’D)... Around here it seems likeninety percent. And I know I’m oneof them, but I don’t feel like oneof them, you know?LAURIEWill you look at all these old assbitties trolling for action.Jules SEES A VERY BIG CHESTED WOMAN.
2.JULESAw, Tad, your math teacher, Ms.Pritchett, got new boobs. Have thekids noticed her new boobs?TADWe have, Mom.LAURIEJules, you’re old. You had anyplastic surgery?JULESI got Botox once, but I didn’t likeit.TADYou looked like Mickey Rourke.Never again, right?JULESSweetie, when a woman says “I gotBotox once but I didn’t like it” itjust means that from now on sheonly gets a little so she can stillsmile and frown. See? Happy.(smiles, then frowning)Mad. Grrr. Plus, if my waddlethingy here gets any bigger --(re: skin under her chin)I’ll disappear for two weeks on a“vacation” and when I get back Imight talk a little differently butit will be gone -- Laurie, stopstaring at Ms. Pritchett you’llmake her self-conscious. She’sobviously not used to them yet.Ms. Pritchett is awkwardly trying to flaunt her breasts.LAURIEI can’t help it. They look likegorilla heads.TADCheck it. Ryan promised me he’d dosomething during warm-ups.RYAN, the quarterback, rifles a pass into the head of theCougar mascot, who drops. Tad and Laurie ad-lib cheers (Yes!Outstanding!) As Ryan points up to them:JULESHe’s a good friend.CUT TO:
