The Pickup

BETH COLLINS sits down at NICK PAXTON’S table in a hotel bar and asks if she can have his baby. Nick assumes she wants to pick him up.  Beth says she does want to pick him up – but as a Russian spy and assassin, claiming she is an FBI agent. However, he is aware that she has been stalking him for years and sees through her FBI ruse. Beth, gun in hand, admits that she is obsessed with him and confesses that she lives a life of isolation because she is extremely socially awkward. Nick in turn confesses that he suffers from a severe inferiority complex. She invites him to come home with her and impregnate her so they can flesh out their lives together. He agrees.
