Second Idea - synopsis

The film opens with two characters (Benjy and Callum) discussing girls. Callum admits to liking a girl in their class and Benjy makes it his mission to put them together. Benjy tells Callum (after a dramatic film sequence replicating a 'battle-plan montage') to say "how do you like your eggs? Fertalised" as a chat-up line. Callum returns having been slapped.Benjy then suggests a second chat up line which we don't hear him tell Callum. Benjy says "say..." then it immediatly cuts to Callum saying it. This chat-up line is equally cringeworthy and creppy and is "My friend and I bet you wouldn't take your shirt off in public". callum gets slapped once again. Benjy suggests a final chat-up line ("I put the STD in stud and all I need is U") and Callum decides against using it and instead aproaches the girl normally.

The girl agrees to go on a date with Callum and the date is seemingly going great until Callum goes to the bathroom. The door shuts revealing Benjy who tells Callum he has a plan. Callum tells Benjy to not do anything and that everything is going fine but Benjy ignores this and tells him to "wait until the bill arrives".

Callum spends the rest of the evening trying to avoid paying the bill by moving the subject away from the bill. When the bill finally arrives it is Benjy wearing a suit. He states that Callum asked him to ask her to marry him. Callum tries to explain he didn't say that but is interrupted by the girl saying yes. The scene quickly cuts to a wedding where Callum looks panicked and Benjy looks pleased with himself.

credits begin to role up and it cuts back to the wedding where Benjy begins to say "when callum first asked me to be his best man" but is interrupted with callum shouting "I never asked you that!".
