JOLLY AUDITION SCRIPT
9 INT. OYE! HOTEL. EVENING 9
Open to a shady hotel reception... a worn wooden desk at the
counter... Behind it stands, JOLLY, mid-40s, sporting a loud
floral shirt, open halfway down, and a garish gold chain.
Jolly shouts instructions to a hotel staff.
JOLLY
Oye...304 ki bedsheet change kar.
Do ghante wali booking thi!
That’s when the glass door opens. A GIRL in Hot pants and
stilettos walks inside. She approaches the reception counter.
The owner’s attention turns towards the girl as she stops in
front of the counter. It’s SALONI.
SALONI
Hi...Hotel Oye! yeh hi hai?
JOLLY
(scans her from top to
bottom, smiles)
Hai toh yehi par aapke aane se ab
oye hoye ho gaya hai!
SALONI
(blushes)
Ohhh!...Yahan par manager kaun
hai?
JOLLY
(Extends his hand)
Jolly Jalota. Myself Manager. At
your service. Always forever!
Kaun sa room dikhaaun madam?
She leans casually on the counter, elbows close together,
showing off her cleavage. Jolly's eyes keep going wider as
she keeps bending lower.
SALONI
Mujhe actually room nahin, ek
request karni thi Jolly ji!
Jolly’s eyes are glued on her.
JOLLY
Request??...
(lecherously smiles)
Aap toh ji order do bass!!

She pivots on her heel, waves coyly, and struts out...

She steps out of the hotel and immediately dials a number.
