"KIDS" Screenplay by Harmony Korine BLACK SCREEN The very loud sound of people having sex. The sounds of deep moaning and sexual huffs and puffs. After a few seconds the sound grows even louder. It should sound as if the two people are fucking into a microphone. The sounds should be painful and raw. GIRL (O.S.) Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, oh yes. INT. BEDROOM - DAY The face of a very pretty young girl with long blond hair. Her face is inches from the CAMERA, the CAMERA is above her, looking down, almost like the POV of the person she's having sex with. She is breathing extremely heavily; her face is red-hot and sweaty. Every time she moves, she makes a deep moaning noise. She looks likes she's on the verge of pain and ecstasy. GIRL Oh yes, Telly it hurts, oh yes, oh yes, please Telly, Telly. The CAMERA backs up to reveal Telly having sex with the girl. Telly is seventeen years old. He is short, dirty, slightly muscular, he has an interesting face, he is a street-smart punk, He is biting his bottom lip, the two of them are sweating like mad, the sound of the bed post smashing against the wall combines with the rhythmical moaning of the two. RAPID FADE TO BLACK BACK IN TIME - BEFORE THEY HAD SEX Telly is in bed with the girl. The two of them are sitting up in the big bed that is raised high of the ground. Telly is naked except for a tight pair of white underwater. He is sitting above the blankets with his legs spread apart. The girl is partially covered, she is wearing a black bra, one of her nipples is poking through. The two of them are very sweaty, they both have messed up hair, there is a great feeling of heat and wetness. The windows to her room are open, the sound of outside of outside traffic is circulating. There is a small fan on her dresser that is blowing from side to side. Socks, shirts, and pants are lying on her hard wood floor. The room is neat except for the clothing. A large poster of the Beastie Boys hangs on the wall. She has many stuffed animals on her bed and dresser drawer, she also has a small dollhouse in the corner. Telly and the girl are looking at each other. The girl speaks slowly and softly, she has a very innocent beauty about her. TELLY You know what I want to do? GIRL Yeah. TELLY What do I want to do? GIRL You want to fuck me. But you can't fuck me. TELLY (smiling) Why? GIRL Because, you know why. You know. TELLY Because your a virgin? GIRL Because I'm a virgin and I don't want no baby. TELLY You think I want a baby? When you're with me, you don't have to worry about that kinda stuff. GIRL Why is that? TELLY Because I like you. I think you're beautiful. I think if we fucked you would love it. You wouldn't even believe it. GIRL I wouldn't believe it? TELLY I don't know. I just think that you would love it. GIRL But, I don't know. I'm just scared that things would change. Between us. TELLY What things? I'm telling you, nothing's going to change. (he begins to caress her cheek and hair) I want to make you happy. That's all. Telly scoots up to the girl and starts to kiss her. He sticks his tongue in her mouth. They kiss. TELLY (whispering) You know it won't hurt. I'll be gentle. I promise. GIRL (whispering) Do you care about me? TELLY (whispering) Of course I do. RAPID CUT TO BLACK AN EXTREME CLOSEUP OF THE GIRL'S FACE As she screams in total agony. Telly and the girl are on the bed having sex. All the lights are on. This scene should look very white and bleached out, very electric and shocking. Everything should be exposed as Telly takes advantage of the virgin girl. TELLY (V.O.) (slowly) Virgins. I love 'em. No diseases, no loose as a goose pussy, no skank. No nothin. Just pure pleasure. CUT TO BLACK: THE CREDITS ROLL IN As soon as the scene ends, so does the sound of the two having sex. Very fast, very hard-paced music accompanies the credits. The music should be strong enough to maintain the intensity of the scene, Hard-core, Punk. CREDITS STOP FADE IN: INT. UPPER EAST SIDE APARTMENT BUILDING - STAIRCASE - DAY Telly gently shuts the door. He has a huge smile on his face. He looks down the center of the staircase and spits. He watches his spit fall down till it smacks against the floor. He runs down three flights of stairs as quickly as possible. He jumps down the last four steps and bumps into the side of the wall. He is very happy. He runs down the skinny hallway and smacks the metal mailboxes. EXT. UPPER EAST SIDE - SIDEWALK - DAY Telly exits the building. CASPER is sitting on a middle step. He is reading a comic book and drinking a 40oz. bottle of malt liquor. The bottle is wrapped in a brown paper sack. As he sips his drink he laughs at his comic book. Casper is Telly's second half. The two have been best friends since grade school. Casper is small and funny, everyone likes him, he has a quick temper, and he isn't scared to fight someone twice his size. Telly provides Casper with a sense of adolescent wisdom. Casper makes Telly happy; he's a smart ass, he has a strong New York accent, an assortment of tattoos, and crooked teeth. Telly and Casper are always together, they help each other to survive. Telly smacks Casper on the back of his head. Casper is startled and spills a little bit of his beer onto his shoes. CASPER Shit. TELLY (smiling) Was up bitch? Casper looks at Telly smiling. CASPER Oh shit what happened? Casper is very excited. He stands up and pulls Telly's arm. TELLY What do you think? CASPER You fucked it? Telly laughs and Casper jumps up and down. CASPER I knew you fucked it! I sat out here for like two hours! That girl was like twelve, and you hit it up! TELLY (pounding his chest) Who am I? Who am I? The mothafuckin' virgin surgeon. They both start to laugh. They move off the stairs and start walking down the sidewalk. The two of them are walking down the street, obvious to everything but themselves talking. CASPER Well, how was it? TELLY Oh my god, so good. That girl can fuck. CASPER She can fuck? TELLY Hell yeah. That bitch was bleeding. When I first put it in she screamed real loud. I saw her bite down on the pillow. CASPER Oh shit. How long did it take? TELLY Did what take? CASPER How long did you fuck her? They cross the street, paying no attention to speeding cars. Casper is listening to every word that Telly says. Casper seems much happier than Telly. Telly is laid-back. Casper is hyper as he jumps up and down and claws Telly's arm. TELLY Well it took me longer than I thought it would take. It took like 15 minutes to talk her into it. But once it was on, we fucked for a good half an hour. I had to keep taking it out and putting it back in. It hurts the first time. CASPER Yeah. TELLY But then when she got into it. She really got into it. It was good. CASPER How did she smell? Did her puss stink? Telly puts his four fingers together and then puts his hand in front of Caper's nose. TELLY Take a whiff. Casper takes a huge whiff, the snot in his nose makes a loud sound as he smells Telly's fingers. CASPER Oh man, it smells like butterscotch. TELLY Hell's yeah. She was so clean. CASPER Oh man, that's the best. TELLY You could tell she took care of herself. She had all these powders and creams in her bathroom. CASPER Let me smell it again. Telly lifts his fingers once again, as Casper breathes in the odor. CASPER That's why virgins are the best. I love that smell. As they walk down the street, joggers, men in business suits with briefcases, ambulances, and women with baby carriages all pass by. TELLY You know what else? CASPER What? TELLY I can tell that she had just entered puberty. CASPER How? TELLY Well, I was flipping through a picture book of her and her family, right. CASPER Right. TELLY And there was this picture of her painting Easter eggs or something. And I said, you were cute when you were little. CASPER Yeah. TELLY And she goes, yeah that picture was taken less than a year ago. I look younger without my makeup. Casper starts to crack up. TELLY And I looked at her, and thought to myself Oh my god, this girl is a baby. CASPER Yeah. TELLY And for a second I felt a little bit guilty. You know, because she's young and all. And then I was like, oh shit, that turns me on. I wanna fuck this little baby girl. They both laugh. CASPER Fuckin' perverted bastard. They continue to laugh and walk. TELLY I'm telling you Casper. I think I'm getting addicted to that shit. CASPER To what? Virgins? TELLY Yeah. It's like all I think about now. Not just that, it's like lately during sex, I start dreaming about these complex fantasies. CASPER What do you mean? TELLY I mean I'm dreaming about going all out, crazy shit. CASPER You mean like fucking two virgins at once. TELLY (laughing) That would be good. But I mean more like. I don't know. Like when I was having sex with her, I kept thinking how much I would like to put it in her ass. Just to see what would happen. CASPER (laughing) She's probably smash you in the fucking face. TELLY I don't know about that. She was pretty into it. But I wasn't gonna try. The whole thing is, you just gotta take it slow. Show 'em some respect. CASPER Did you tell her that you loved her? TELLY Like. Like. Never love. Love is for low-level virgin seduction guys. They stop walking. Casper takes the last sip of his beer, then throws it toward an orange trash can. He misses the can and the bottle smashes in the middle of a busy street. CASPER Shit. TELLY What do you want? CASPER Get another forty. (burps) Smoke a blunt. TELLY Are you hungry? CASPER Hell yeah. Fuckin' starvin'. Wait up a sec. Casper takes two steps away and starts urinating in someone's bushes. People walk by and stare. TELLY You wanna go to Paul's house? CASPER What for? That guys a dick. TELLY I'm sure he's got food. He's always got those microwave burrito things in his freezer. CASPER You think he's got any herb? TELLY I don't know, he quit dealin' but I'll bet he'll smoke us out. CASPER You think? TELLY Probably. CASPER He lives on 76th? TELLY 78th. CASPER Den less go Joe. He zips up his pants. They start walking again. Casper is carrying a folded up comic book in his hand. CASPER Telly. TELLY Yeah. CASPER Did she suck your dick? TELLY A little bit. But I didn't really want her to. CASPER Why? TELLY I don't know. That's too easy. I mean getting a virgin to suck your dick. That's so easy. CASPER It is right. TELLY I want to knock her guard down. I mean there's a whole philosophy behind it. Having a virgin suck your dick, that's basic because there's nothing lost. CASPER It's no big deal, right? TELLY Right. But when you deflower a girl, that's it. You did it. You were the one. No one else can ever do it. CASPER Yeah. The way I see it. My outlook on the this situation is. (they both start laughing) It's like getting fame, you know what I'm saying. It's like, if you died tomorrow, and fifty years from now all the virgins you fucked are gonna remember you because you were their first. TELLY Yep. CASPER They're gonna tell their grand kids. (mimicking an old lady) That Telly. He sure was good in the sack! The two of them are laughing, their conversation has gotten them very excited. They walk in front of a Korean grocery. The grocery has a small outdoor produce section, juice, fruit, sodas, etc. A KOREAN GUY with flip-flops and headphones is sitting on a tall wooden stool. TELLY You thirsty? CASPER Yeah, I feel dehydrated. TELLY You got any money? CASPER Three pennies and a ball of lint. TELLY You down with the boost? CASPER (whispers) Unzip my pack, yo. He turns around and Telly quickly unzips his backpack. INT. KOREAN GROCERY - DAY The grocery is your basic traditional market with a lunch buffet. Behind the cash register is a middle-aged KOREAN MAN. He is watching a small black and white television set. The two boys enter. Casper walks straight to the back where they keep the beer. Telly circles the buffet and then walks up to the cash register. TELLY Uh, let's see here, would you happen to have diss digg? KOREAN STORE OWNER Whah? TELLY Diss digg. I'm curious if you have it? KOREAN STORE OWNER Whah is dissdee? Casper is going through the beer section. He pulls out two 40oz. bottles of and puts them on the floor. TELLY Diss digg, diss digg, diss digg. KOREAN STORE OWNER I no understand you. Maybe crazy. A round mirror is reflecting Casper putting the bottles into his backpack. TELLY I'll ask you one last time. Do you have diss digg? KOREAN STORE OWNER Whah you say? Dissdee? Casper runs up to the counter and grabs his crotch. CASPER He said This Dick, mutha fucka! Can't you understand English? The two of them both run out the door. Telly taps the Korean man who is sitting outside. The man looks in the opposite direction while Casper grabs two peaches and puts them into his pocket. The two boys run off. The Korean man gets off his stool. He pulls his headphones off his ears. KOREAN MAN Stupy fucky boys! Fucky! He looks at his fruit stand and puts a peach in the spot that Casper previously stole from. EXT. UPPER EAST SIDE - APARTMENT - DAY Casper and Telly are walking down the street. Casper is eating a peach and drinking his 40oz. beer. Telly is also drinking. CASPER You know like in "The Wonder Twins" they share everything. TELLY The cartoon? CASPER Yeah. "The Wonder Twins". You know. (mimics the cartoon) Activate in the form of, a glass of water. TELLY Yeah. CASPER Well, those guys share everything, right? TELLY Right. CASPER And once I saw this episode where they pretended they were each other. Where they lived the other's life for a day. You know those guys share everything, right? TELLY Right. CASPER And it got me thinkin'. How fun it would be to share each other's girl. TELLY (laughing) Yeah, that would be fun but I don't like any of the girls you go out with. Like that one girl with two teeth and a clit ring. CASPER No, I'm serious man. I'm dead ass. Do you wanna try? We could be like the fuckin X-rated "Wonder Twins"! The two of them start laughing and jumping on each other. Telly spits out a mouthful of beer. CASPER (laughing) Can you do it man? TELLY (laughing) Can I do it? I just broke her cherry. I imagine I can make her do anything. Bark like a dog, jump through a ring of fire. Casper is jumping up and down on Telly's shoulder. CASPER Oh man. I fucking love this guy. The two of them walk off laughing. EXT. PAUL'S APARTMENT BUILDING - DAY A medium sized apartment building on the Upper East Side. Cars are speeding by the front of the building. Cabs drive by and beep their horns. Telly and Casper are sitting on the front steps. Telly rings one of the buttons. The bottom switchboard is plastered with skateboarding stickers and "Legalize Marijuana" stickers. A Vespa scooter is parked on the outside in front of the building, it also has stickers on it. Telly rings it again. It is a very hot day, both boys are wiping sweat from their bodies. PAUL (from box) Hello? TELLY It's me. Telly. PAUL (from box) Hello? TELLY (loudly) Paul it's Telly. Open up. A buzz is heard. There is a little girl sitting on the bottom step, playing with a doll. Casper runs down and gives her a peach. Then he runs back up. Telly and Casper enter the building. The little girl tosses the peach to the ground. INT. PAUL'S APARTMENT BUILDING - DAY There are about ten guys in the apartment. There is almost no furniture, just two white couches and a few plants in the corner. There is a big TV in the center of the floor. A Nintendo with several wires is hooked up to it. There are various games spread out. A couple of boys are huddled around the game, as they watch the guy play, they breathe in the wip-it's. The boys are all young and spread out. There are people lying on the couch, on the floor, on the phone, in the kitchen smoking pot and doing wip-its. They are all colors and sizes. Casper and Telly go to each person and greet them with a handshake. Some people they hug. They say "Was up," to everyone. They both sit down on the floor and continue to drink their beers. Paul sits down besides them. PAUL What are you guys doing? TELLY Nothing. We just wanted to come by and see what you were up to. PAUL You want a wip-it? TELLY Nah. CASPER Yeah. Paul puts his hand on his big pocket and gives Casper a cartridge. Casper breathes in the wip-it and then smiles really big. CASPER I love these shits. PAUL They're good for you. Vitamin C for the new generation. Paul hands Casper another cartridge. CASPER That's why I like 'em. They wake my brain up. Casper does the wip-it. STANLEY, a tall black kid with dreads, walks out of the kitchen. He has a cordless phone in his hand. Casper continues to do wip-it's. One after another. TELLY So, how many people live here now? PAUL I don't know, eight or nine. TELLY Where does everyone sleep? PAUL Everywhere. Fuckin' flophouse. We're still short on the rent. If you want, you and Casper can move in. You guys can share the bathtub. STANLEY Yo Telly. Jennie says what's up. TELLY Jennie who? STANLEY Jennie. You know. CASPER That girl you boned last year. Remember? TELLY Man I haven't seen her in forever. What the fuck's she up to? INT. RUBY'S ROOM - DAY Five girls are sitting in a small room. They are smoking. They're all in a circle laughing. The girls are all good friends. A few of them have rings in their lips and eyebrows. A big dirty fish tank is on one of the bookshelves. Ruby is a nice looking girl, age 17. She is Spanish, her hair is slicked back, she chain-smokes. Jennie is a 15 year old high school sophomore. She is white. She is very pretty, with an uncommon touch of innocence about her. The next episode is going to jump-cut back and forth between Paul's apartment and Rubby's room. These scenes should be handheld. Ruby hangs up the phone. RUBY Telly says was up. JENNIE I knew he wouldn't want to speak to me. That dick. RUBY You still mad at him? JENNIE Of course. How am I gonna forgive him after what he did?! SUSAN What did he do? Ruby cuts of Jennie. RUBY He stole her virginity. He took it away and now it's gone forever. Laughter. JENNIE Yeah. But it's not even the fact that he devirginized me.

Just be glad you didn't lose your virginity in the backseat of a rental car. RUBY That shit is nothin'. I remember, I had just turned 14. With this fuckin' asshole who was like 18.

TRAIN STATION - DAY Casper and Telly run down the stairs. They look around to see if there is any transit security. They simultaneously walk up to the turnstile and pull back the revolving metal guard. Then they slip through very nonchalantly. A short BLIND GUY is playing the accordion. He is standing up and tapping his feet. He's playing "Danny Boy". In front of his feet is a large leather briefcase with dollar bills and scattered change. Casper and Telly walk up to the Blind Guy. They watch him for a second, then Casper starts to clap with his beer in his hand. He starts to smile really big. Telly sees Casper smiling and then he begins to smile. CASPER Man, this guy is really good. TELLY He looks like my uncle. Casper looks at the money collection. CASPER I bet he makes hella money. A train comes speeding by. Casper walks next to the Blind Guy and starts dancing really funny. Telly starts to laugh. Some guy in a business suit walks by and throws some change in the collection. INT. TESTING CLINIC - WAITING ROOM - DAY Typical waiting room. Big sofas and chairs. A table is in the middle of the floor, magazines and pocketbooks. A water jug is in the corner. A ceiling fan is circling fast up above. An assortment of men and women of different races and colors. They look mainly middle class. Jennie and Ruby are the youngest people in the room. A man in a three-piece suit slowly walks by. Jennie tries to see his face but he is turned the wrong way. Ruby continues to talk. The same fat black nurse walks out with a clipboard. She begins to cough tremendously. RUBY ...I don't know, I think he's mad at me, but who cares... Ruby and Jennie stop talking and look at the black nurse. She is coughing uncontrollably. She looks like a large shaking figure. A skinny nurse walks by, pounds her on the back, and she stops coughing. The black nurse has a smile on her face, her eyes watery. She turns and looks at Ruby. BLACK NURSE Woowee! It must have been something I ate! (coughs then smiles) Ruby, follow me. Ruby stands up and looks at Jennie. Ruby crosses both her fingers and raises them in the air. RUBY Wish me luck. JENNIE Good luck. Ruby follows the black nurse. This should be one long shot, as Ruby follows the nurse through the hectic testing clinic. The two of them enter the same room as before. INT. WAITING ROOM - DAY The skinny white nurse picks up a folder with Jennie's name on it. She opens the door to the waiting room and looks at Jennie sitting down with her eyes closed. WHITE NURSE Jennie. Jennie stands up and smiles. She walks towards the door. INT.

You tested negative for all sexually transmitted diseases and infections. RUBY Yes! BLACK NURSE You're clean. RUBY Oh my God. I can't tell you how nervous I've been. I couldn't sleep last night. BLACK NURSE Now you gotta be careful. The black nurse pulls out a bunch of pamphlets. BLACK NURSE Here take these pamphlets home and read them. INT. TESTING CLINIC - DAY Jennie is standing up. She is hugging herself. The white nurse is sitting down at her desk. The nurse looks real closely at the folder and then shuts it. WHITE NURSE Jennie. You've tested positive for the HIV infection. JENNIE What? WHITE NURSE The test isn't one hundred percent accurate. You should... JENNIE I tested positive? WHITE NURSE I'm sorry. JENNIE But I only had sex with Telly. The nurse is quiet. JENNIE I just got tested to keep Ruby company. INT. SUBWAY CAR - DAY Telly and Casper are sitting side by side. Casper is holding a 40oz. bottle of beer. The train is semi-crowded; all seats are taken and there are a few people standing up. The train shakes. They are headed downtown. Casper and Telly are looking at the couple directly across from them. They are two unattractive lower-class Spanish people, they are holding hands and kissing. TELLY I wanna fuck Darcy. CASPER Who? TELLY Darcy. Benny's little sister. CASPER Oh. You like her? TELLY Yeah. I like her. I've wanted to get with her for a while now. CASPER Darcy? TELLY Yeah. She's so little, so pretty, and innocent. CASPER Yeah. She's only 13. TELLY It's funny. Last weekend at that block party. Remember? CASPER Yeah. TELLY She was handing out those watermelon slices. And I sat down over on the other side, And I watched her. CASPER (excited) Yeah. TELLY I watched her eat the watermelon. And all this juice started running down her chin and onto her shirt. CASPER (smiling) Yeah. TELLY And after about two seconds, I got the biggest hard-on. Casper starts laughing. TELLY I'm not joking. I wanted to take my dick out and start jacking right there. At that point and moment, Darcy was like a vision of perfection. CASPER I know what you mean. TELLY At that moment, at that block party, she represented everything holy about a virgin. CASPER She hangs out at Nasa. She promotes for them. TELLY I'm gonna fuck her tonight. I swear to God I'm gonna fuck her. CASPER (laughing) How are you gonna fuck two virgins in a day? That shits gotta be against the law. TELLY I don't care motha fucka. I'll bet you money she fucks me. CASPER Bet. The two of them shake hands. CASPER You wanna run by the park and see what everybody's doing? Get zooted? TELLY I guess so. I gotta stop off home too. At this point the sound of the subway door is heard. A black man with no legs pushes himself through with his hands. He has a large container filled with change. As he enters, his cup of change is heard smashing back and forth. His face is even with people's knees. A random few stuff change and dollar bills into his cup. He sings as he pushes his way through the cat. He has an afro pick sticking out the back of his head. He is wearing a shirt that says "KISS ME I'M POLISH". LEGLESS MAN (singing) I have no legs. I have no legs. I have no legs. I have no legs. As he pushes his way closer, Casper starts checking his all his pockets. When he gets about three feet away, Casper stands up and throws some pennies into his cup. He sits back down next to Telly. The legless man stops and smiles at Casper. LEGLESS MAN Thank you. God bless you. CASPER Yeah. Bless you back. The legless man makes his way into the next car. TELLY I don't understand why you do that. CASPER Why I do what? TELLY That. CASPER Why I give pennies? TELLY Yeah. Why you give money. CASPER Did you look at that guy? What the fuck. He had no legs. (motions to his waist) He had no half his lower body. He's gotta shit out of his ribcage. TELLY That's just it. It's elitist. It's reverse elitism. Because you give money to whoever is the most fucked up. I notice what you do. CASPER What are you talking about? TELLY Whenever you see someone who's really messed up, especially amputees and retards. You give them money. But if it's just a regular bum, you pass them by. CASPER So. TELLY So. These people live on the same streets. It's just that you reserve your money for those people who are massively fucked up. The regular bums aren't poor enough for you, you gotta give it to the bottom of the barrel scum fucks. CASPER So. You never know when you can end up like that. TELLY Right. CASPER I'll tell you why. Because when I was little, I had a fat cousin, cousin Luke. And he used to make fun of the handicapped. And one day he had a bad stomachache. So he drank a bottle of Pepto and his ass blew off. TELLY Shut up. CASPER I'm telling you the truth. And after that, I've always givin' my money to retards. Because that's the reverse of what he did. Telly is laughing. CASPER So really, it's good luck. TELLY Good luck? CASPER Yeah, good luck. I mean what the fuck. The guy had no legs. They both laugh. INT. TELEPHONE BOOTH - DAY Ruby and Jennie are squeezed into a telephone booth. They are on a busy street. People are walking by the cars are in a standstill gridlock. It is very loud outside. Everyone is beeping their horns and screaming out windows. Ruby looks very dazed and confused. Jennie is nervous and shaky. Jennie picks up the phone and puts it to her ear. She searches her pockets for a quarter and comes up empty. She begins shaking her hands back and forth. JENNIE Ruby. Do you have a quarter? Ruby hands her a quarter. Jennie dials her house. JENNIE (into phone) Peter, is Mom there? No, I need to speak to Mommy... Peter where's Mommy? No, I can't talk to you right now. Yeah... I hear it... look just tell her... No never mind...

I'm gonna have to tell my little brother, I'm gonna die. I can't make him his lunches anymore. RUBY Come on. Don't cry. We'll work it out. JENNIE I only did it once and...

RUBY (screaming inside the booth) I said get the fuck outta here before I smash your fucking face in mothafucka!!! JENNIE I gotta go. I gotta find Telly. RUBY Don't go anywhere. Stay with me. JENNIE I gotta find him. Jennie squeezes by Ruby and pushes open the door to the booth. RUBY I'm coming. JENNIE No. I just gotta go find him. Ruby grabs Jennie's arm and Jennie pulls away. Jennie starts walking and wiping the tears out of her eyes. RUBY Jen! Jennie looks back at Ruby and then starts running down the street. RUBY (screaming) Jennie! Jennie is running down the street full speed. She is passing all the people on the sidewalk. Then she darts across the street and through the traffic. Some people stare. She continues to run as the CAMERA follows her for a full block. She bumps into people and pushes them away. EXT. TELLY'S HOUSE - DAY Telly and Casper walk up to the house. Telly lives in a flat on St. Marks; downtown. Two Spanish hoodlums are sitting on the front steps. Telly and Casper walk up and slap their hands. Casper looks for some place to hide his beer. One of the hoodlums puts his hand out and Casper gives it to him. Telly opens the door with his key and Casper follows close behind. They walk straight to the end of the hallway and enter. Telly's house is cluttered. The house is nice but organized. The kitchen has pots and pans hanging from the ceiling. There is a Matisse poster hanging in a frame. Large bookshelves filled to the gills with books. Big plush couches in the living room, a rocking chair in the corner. A small wooden piano. A scattered game of Monopoly is on the dinning room table, a few cats roam the house. On the wall are pictures of Telly as a young boy, and large family portraits. Telly and Casper walk into the living room, then enter the kitchen. Telly's mom is in the kitchen breast-feeding a small baby. She has her hair pulled back and her breast out. There is a small television set on the kitchen counter that she is watching. TELLY Hi mom. MOM Hi Telly. Where you been? CASPER Hi. MOM Hi Casper. Telly goes to the refrigerator and takes out a big jug of Kool-Aid. Casper gets the glasses down from the cabinet. TELLY We were out trying to find a job. Pouring the Kool-Aid. MOM Any luck? CASPER No none. MOM So, what are you gonna do for money this summer? TELLY I don't know. Find a job. (pause) Hey can I borrow some money? Casper is staring at Telly's mom as she breast-feeds. MOM Sorry. Dad made me promise not to give you any money until you find a job. TELLY But then I won't need your money. MOM That's right. Casper is staring at Telly's mom's breast. CASPER Man, Telly, your little brother is getting big. TELLY Yeah. Telly walks out of the kitchen and up the stairs, Casper slowly staggers behind. As they walk up the stairs, Telly pulls his shirt off and wipes his underarms and chest. Casper pulls Telly's arm. CASPER Holy shit man, your mom's got good titties. TELLY Shut the fuck up. The two of them enter Telly's parents room. INT. TELLY'S PARENT'S BEDROOM - DAY The bedroom is messy. There are clothes lying on the bed and floor. There is an exercise bike in the corner. Museum posters are on the wall. Tampons on the dresser. Casper follows Telly into the bedroom. Telly sticks his head out the door to make sure his mother isn't coming. Casper picks up a tampon and starts playing with it. Telly opens his mother's shoe closet. All her shoes hang from a big wooden door. He goes directly to a pair of black dress pumps. He pulls out the shoes and puts them under his arm, then he puts his hand in the shot slot and pulls out a pair of shoulder pads with a rubber band rapped around them. He pulls off the rubber brand, and in between the shoulder pads is a small wad of cash. He takes out the cash and sits on the bed counting it. Casper is pushing the tampon back and forth inside the plastic shell. CASPER How do these things work? Telly is counting the cash. TELLY Twenty, twenty-five, thirty-five, forty-five, fifty. Casper is looking at himself in the mirror. CASPER How much you gonna take? TELLY I don't know. How much do you want? Casper is looking at teeth in the mirror. CASPER About ten. Fifteen is good. TELLY Fifteen for me. He puts fifteen dollars in his back pocket. TELLY Ten for you. Casper is scrapping his teeth with the tampon while looking in the mirror. Telly stands up and hands Casper the ten dollars. Casper puts the money in his back pocket. Telly picks up his mother's shoulder pads and puts the remaining cash between them. He stuffs the shoulder pads into the shoe slot. He picks up his mother's black pumps and puts them into the slot. He shuts the door. Telly picks up his shirt and walks out of the room. Casper throws the tampon into the trash and follows Telly. INT. TELLY'S ROOM - DAY His room is a total mess, worse than imaginable. His clothes, the furniture, piles of porno magazines and science books, are all covered with candy wrappers and potato chip bags. His television is on a scrambled station. He has one big poster of Albert Einstein on his wall. He has a water bed. He has a few small plants next to his windowsill. There is a cat sleeping next to his bed. TELLY Get the fuck out of here cat! Telly kicks the cat out his door. Casper shuts the door. TELLY You think Darcy is gonna be at Nasa tonight? CASPER Yeah probably. Telly picks up the small spray bottle used for watering plants, he begins to spray his face and chest. CASPER Yo, you got any weed around here? TELLY Naw. But we should run by the park and get a dime. Maybe Darcy will be at the park. Casper is sitting on the water bed, he is pumping one of Telly's small ten pound dumbbells. CASPER Yo. I'm gonna get buff dude. TELLY You are? CASPER Yeah. The other day, some sort of Chinese bitch told me I'd look good with muscles. Casper is pumping and making faces. CASPER I'm gonna get mad diesel. I'm gonna fuck any nigga that tries to step to me. Telly is wiping his body off with a towel from the floor. He sniffs his arms and then picks up a stick of deodorant and applies it. TELLY You want some? Casper is still pumping. CASPER Nah. TELLY Why not? You stink. CASPER That shit gives me a rash all under my arms and around my stomach. I like my odor. It's fuckin' natural. The CAMERA stays on Casper while he continues to pump his dumbbell and look at his arm. INT. TELLY'S KITCHEN - DAY Mom is watching a soap opera on television. The baby is in a small rocker on the counter. She is rocking it back and forth with one hand while smoking a cigarette. TELLY Mom. MOM Shh. TELLY (whispering) I'm gonna go out for a little while. MOM When are you gonna be back? TELLY Not too late. MOM Four-thirty in the morning? TELLY Not too late. Casper and Telly walk to the door. TELLY Hey Mom. Are you sure I can't get any money? Just a few bucks. MOM If I had it, maybe. But right now I don't have a penny to my name. TELLY All right. Casper waves good-bye. MOM Bye. Casper and Telly leave. Telly slams the door behind him. The baby wakes up and starts to cry. MOM Shit. EXT. PAUL'S APARTMENT BUILDING - DAY Jennie walks up the stairs to Paul's apartment. She takes her finger down the list of names. She rings his bell.

Just tell me if Telly is there. PAUL (drunkenly, laughter) Oh hi Jennie. Do you want to come make out with me? JENNIE I'm fucking serious. Where's Telly? PAUL Telly's not here right now. I believe he went downtown. Casper too. Jennie walks down the stairs. A little white girl is sitting on the bottom stair, playing with a black doll. The doll has no hair and it's dress is ripped. She looks up at Jennie. LITTLE GIRL My dolly is black... Lucy. The girl sticks her doll out so Jennie can hold it. EXT. WASHINGTON SQUARE PARK - DAY Casper and Telly are standing by the chess tables. The park is very busy. Every chess table is being used. People are riding bikes and roller-blading. Strong men are doing pull- ups on the monkey bars while guys walk by with ghetto blasters. A state of public frenzy. A Rastafarian drug dealer with a big dread cap is standing a little bit away from Telly and Casper. He is approaching everyone as they walk by him. DRUG DEALER (fast and slurred) ...Sess... Smoke, hash, shrooms, valium, coke... Sessamila. CASPER Yo, was up Ras! RAS Ah Caspa! Was up little blood clot? Casper and Telly walk up and shake his hand.

Casper starts to laugh. Telly goes to hand the drug dealer the money. Ras looks around to make sure it's safe. RAS Throw it down. He points to the floor; then throws the weed on the ground. Telly drops two five dollar bills. CASPER Thanks Ras. RAS Caspa!!! Ras laughs. The two of them slap hands. Ras slaps Telly's hand and walks away. EXT. UNDER THE ARCH - WASHINGTON SQUARE PARK - DAY The park is extremely crowded. The kids hang out in front of the arch by the fountain and around the sides. There are about ten kids skateboarding. The fountain is on and the mist is spraying the kids. Girls in hip-hop fashion are lined up all around. A few kids are drawing graffiti in little black books. There are maybe twenty kids hanging out around the fountain, in front of the arch. Casper and Telly walk up to the center of the action. They greet their friends sitting on the edge of the fountain. Skateboarders ride up and slap their hands. As they greet their friends, they kiss the girls on the cheek and a few of them on the lips, they slap hands with the guys and embrace some with a hug. Telly and Casper go down the line, greeting everyone. This process takes a while, as they interact with everyone down the line. HAROLD is a skinny black skateboarder with a funny face. He rides up to Casper and hugs him. HAROLD Casper! Was up kid? CASPER Nothen' B. HAROLD Where you at? CASPER Right here. HAROLD Where you goin' tonight? CASPER Maybe Nasa. I don't know.

HAMILTON, a short black guy with a Gilligan hat, walks up. HAMILTON Yo Cass, you got any boom? Telly is sitting on the cement benches talking to MISHA, a pretty young girl with a belly button pierce. CASPER Yep. You got a Phillie? HAMILTON Presto. Hamilton pulls out a long Phillie cigar. Then he squeezes in between Casper and another guy. Casper pulls out his dime bag and sniffs it. The he puts it in front of Hamilton's nose. HAMILTON You got that here in the park? CASPER Yep. HAMILTON Break that shit up. Casper is smushing the pot up. Hamilton is taking the plastic of the cigar. In this shot they go through the complete process of rolling a blunt. The next sequence should be done with fast edits. HAMILTON Cut it. Hamilton cuts the cigar down the center with his long thumbnail. HAMILTON Scrape it. He then scrapes all the tobacco out of the center and onto the ground. HAMILTON Lick it. He then licks the outer paper till it gets very damp. HAMILTON Dump it. Casper starts putting the weed inside, Hamilton licks it, then pulls out a lighter and dries it. HAMILTON And smoke it. Hamilton puts it in his mouth. HAMILTON You wanna start off? Hamilton looks at Casper and puts the blunt in his face. CASPER Naw, you got it Ham. Hamilton smiles. HAMILTON All right. He puts the blunt in his mouth and lights it. A big flame shoots up as it catches the end of the Phillie. Hamilton takes a few big puffs and then blows the smoke away. HAMILTON Take two pulls and pass. Hamilton passes the blunt to Casper. A bunch of kids start huddling around Casper as he puffs. STEVEN, a skinny Spanish kid with gold front teeth, walks up. STEVEN Yo can I fuck wit dat? Casper smiles and blows smoke in his face. CASPER Yeah boy! Casper hits it again and then hands it to Steve, who takes immense hits. Two male homosexuals in short shorts walk by holding hands. Steven turns his head and notices them. He exhales the smoke out of his nose. STEVEN Look at that. HAROLD That shit is sick. Fuckin' faggots. CASPER (screaming at the top of his lungs) Fuckin' faggots!!! Everyone starts laughing. CASPER (as loud as possible) Faggots!!! Casper rubs his throat. People continue to laugh. CASPER My throat. Telly is sitting away on the cement benches under the tree. He is talking to Misha. MISHA How can you hang out with Casper? He's such a jerk. TELLY You think so? MISHA Yeah. I've always hated that kid. He used to eat glue in like seventh grade. TELLY He still does. MISHA I hate 'em. TELLY It's not his fault. He had a hard life. MISHA Yeah? TELLY You've heard the stories right? MISHA No. EXT. NEW YORK SIDEWALK - DAY Back in time. Casper is a little boy, age 11. He is walking down the sidewalk with a lunch box and a "Casper the Friendly Ghost" T-shirt. He is wearing his hat on backwards. Music accompanies this entire episode. TELLY (V.O.) Well, one day Casper had a stomachache and he got permission from his teacher to leave school early and go home. Casper walks up to a nice middle-class home, it could be in Queens or Brooklyn, it doesn't matter. He pulls out a key and opens the door. He enters his home. INT. CASPER'S HOUSE - DAY The house is dark. Plastic on all the furniture. A velvet picture of Christ is hanging on the wall in the hallway. Very simple and plain, a generic adobe. Casper enters his house and flips on a lightswitch. TELLY (V.O.) So he walks into his house and hears some strange noises. The sounds of his mother screaming from upstairs. CASPER'S MOM (screaming from upstairs) Get away! Get away! Help! You monster! Please help! Casper puts his lunch box down and walks to the first stair to listen to his mother's screams. TELLY (V.O.) The noises were coming from upstairs. In his parents room. Casper's mom continues to scream from upstairs. TELLY (V.O.) So, this freaked the hell out of Casper. He was just a little kid and he wasn't sure what to do. Casper moves off the step and runs into the kitchen. TELLY (V.O.) So he ran and got a big knife. The same knife his pops used to cut the turkey on Thanksgiving with. He opens a drawer full of silverware and pulls out a humongous glistening knife. He picks it up, and it shines on his face. As his mother screams he looks up at the ceiling with the knife in his hand. CASPER'S MOM (screaming from upstairs) Stop! Please stop! Oooh help! Casper runs up the stairs, he is holding the knife straight out. TELLY (V.O.) So he heard his mom's screams, and knew that she was in trouble. It sounded like she was getting ready to be killed. Like someone was kicking her in the head. Casper runs down the hall and opens the door to his parents room. What he sees is very shocking. His face becomes extremely animated. Casper's mom is on the bed. She is completely naked except for a pair of bright red high heel shoes. In between her legs is a man wearing all black, including a black ski mask and motorcycle boots. He is having sex with Casper's mom. He has her arms pinned down on the bed. He is grunting like a pig. Casper watches for a moment in awe. MAN IN BLACK Bitch. You fuckin' bitch. Fuckin' bitch. Slutty whore. The man in black slaps Casper's mom hard on her naked ass. CASPER'S MOM (screaming) No! Stop! Get off me! She is struggling to get loose. TELLY (V.O.) So Casper opened the door and he saw some big guy with a ski mask fucking his mother. What a sight for an 11 year old kid. Casper runs up to the bed. He climbs on top of the bed with the big knife in the air, all the while the man in black is having sex with his mother. And they don't even notice Casper at first. TELLY (V.O.) And he goes and jumps on his parent's bed. And for a second he just looks and watches. Casper takes his knife and starts stabbing the guy in black, over and over. His mother is kicking and trying to stop him. All the while, she is screaming outrageously and blood is pouring out. TELLY (V.O.) And you know. Casper loved his mom, he didn't want anything to happen to her. So he started stabbing this guy, over and over. But it was a mistake. Casper's mom is kicking Casper as he stabs the man. Casper is biting his tongue as he stabs the man. The man falls off the bed and onto the floor. Casper's mom is going totally nuts. She is completely naked, with blood all over her body. There is blood all over the sheets. His mom is clawing her face in complete hysterics. CASPER'S MOM You fuck!!! It's your father!!! We were playing a game you fuck!!! That's your father!!! We were just playing!!! Casper looks very confused as he looks at his naked mother. He has the knife in his hand, and a little blood on his T- shirt and cheek. Casper's mom continues to yell at him. CASPER'S MOM Casper, you fucker!!! Oh, my god!!! Help me God!!! Casper looks at his mother, then he looks at the dead guy on the floor. He bends down and takes off the mask. It's his father. CASPER (calmly) That's my dad. CASPER'S MOM (crying) You fuck. You killed your father! TELLY (V.O.) So Casper killed his father. He came home with a stomachache and ended up murdering his pops. It was a very embarrassing thing. EXT. WASHINGTON SQUARE PARK - ON A CEMENT BENCH - DAY Telly is in the same spot talking to Misha. TELLY So that's why Casper is how he is. MISHA Oh god. That's horrible. A quick shot of Casper smoking a blunt and laughing with his friends. TELLY Yep. MISHA Holy shit. That's all true? TELLY No. I was just kidding. MISHA (outraged) What?! TELLY I lied. His dad is still alive. He works for the post office. EXT. WASHINGTON SQUARE PARK - ON THE FOUNTAIN - DAY Casper and all his friends are passing around the blunt, which by now is almost gone. All that is left is a roach and Casper is sucking on it really hard. Casper breathes out the smoke and then passes the roach to Hamilton. CASPER Yo, that weed is mad good. Hamilton gets ready to puff. HAMILTON Hells yeah. Gimmie a taste of the mothafuckin' chronic. Casper rubs his eyes. Hamilton puffs on the little roach. Casper grabs somebody's skateboard and stands on it. He starts rolling around slowly and doing some tricks. The other kids continue to smoke. They watch Casper and laugh. Casper is slowly trying to do tricks, but he's so stoned that he just falls off. As he skates in front of is friends he doesn't pay any attention to where he's going. A tall HOODLUM with gold front teeth is walking by. He is wearing all Polo and a thick white Fila headband. He is biting down on a chew stick. The hoodlum walks by. He has a certain ominous strut. He is looking at the ground as he walks. He takes the chew stick out of his mouth and looks at some girl's ass as she walks by. He makes a little noise with his mouth. As the hoodlum walks by, Casper is rolling backward, not paying attention. He rolls into the hoodlum's heels. Casper falls down and laughs. Everyone watching laughs, including Telly who is still sitting with Misha. Casper jumps up and grabs his skateboard. The hoodlum is turned around. Casper walks up to him with a smile. CASPER Yo, sorry money. The hoodlum is a good seven inches taller than Casper. He puts his arms out like he's upset. HOODLUM Yeah watch the fuck where you skate. You know what I'm saying? CASPER (smiling) Yeah, watch where you walk dukes. HOODLUM What? CASPER Nuffin' G. Just forget it. HOODLUM What the fuck yo? You wanna catch a beat down? Casper throws his skateboard down. He quickly turns around and pulls his pants up. He runs right up to the hoodlum and he looks up at him. CASPER Sup then? Sup? HOODLUM Come on bitch. Throw your fists up. EXT. THE CEMENT BENCHES - DAY Telly and Misha are watching. Telly stands up. TELLY Uh oh. Casper's in the mix. He quickly walks up. EXT. THE FOUNTAIN - DAY All the guys jump up and start screaming. STEVEN Oh shit. Throw down. Steven and all the guys run up and surround the hoodlum. They all start screaming taunts. "Fuck 'em up Casper!" Casper is inches from the hoodlum. They are both in a fighting stance. Casper keeps pulling his pants up. Casper has a huge smile on his face, like this is his favorite thing in the whole world. CASPER Sup. Sup. HOODLUM Come on nigga. Sup, sup then? Stop faking moves. CASPER I'm gonna fuck you up bitch. They are both right about to swing. Everyone in the whole park has turned their attention to the scuffle. All of a sudden, out of nowhere, Harold runs up behind the Hoodlum and with the truck of his skateboard, smashes the guy in the back of the head. A huge thud is heard and the hoodlum just kinda falls forward on his knees. Casper, with a big smile, steps back and kicks the guy in the face as hard as he can. Everyone gets in a big circle around the fallen hoodlum. They're all screaming. Even the girls are screaming. "Fuck 'em up!" Harold continues hitting the hoodlum with his skateboard. Hitting him on the legs and stomach. Casper is jumping up and down on the hoodlum's head. CASPER (everytime he kicks the guy he says this) Suck my dick! Suck my dick! Suck my dick! All of a sudden, all the skateboarders in the park, including Hamilton and Steven, take their boards and start smashing this guy, over and over. The hoodlum is on the ground holding his head, as everyone frantically tries to kill him. The focus should be on the face of the skateboarders. How much they are enjoying this. They continue to pound him, over and over, like animals in on the prey. This should look very scary, as twenty guys try to kill the fallen hoodlum. Even little kids are in the middle, beating the guy. Telly looks up to the sky. He makes a loud noise as he clears his throat, like he's gathering mucus. Then he puts his arms down and stops some of the kids from hitting the hoodlum. His face is completely cracked and bloody. Telly steps over him and spits a huge phlegm wad onto his face. Casper, still smiling, kicks the guy in the face. CASPER Suck my dick, Suck my dick. Suck my dick. Everyone stops kicking the guy and they all get kinda silent and look at him. He looks completely twisted, bloody, and dead. Casper bends over, right in his face. CASPER (smiling) Now get in my way! Bitch. CUT TO BLACK INT. / EXT. TAXICAB - GOING DOWNTOWN - EVENING Jennie is in the back of a speeding cab. She is looking out the window. Her face looks sad. The TAXI DRIVER is a funny looking old man. He's wearing a jockey hat and a Hawaiian shirt. He has air fresheners hanging from the mirror. He is chewing on a big wet cigar. He has a half shaved beard. He looks like a dirty old man. Jennie looks dazed. As the taxi driver drives, he looks in his mirror at Jennie. He pulls his cigar out of his mouth and then puts it back in. Jazz is playing on the radio. TAXI DRIVER Excuse me. Can I ask you a question? Jennie just shrugs. TAXI DRIVER Can I ask you a question? I'm sorry. I don't mean to be a pest. JENNIE What? TAXI DRIVER Well, I don't mean to be a pest. It was just that I was looking at you. And you look upset. I liked looking at you, but your face looks upset. And I was wondering if I could be of any assistance? Maybe I could cheer you up or somethin. Help make you happy. Who knows? Somethin' maybe. As the taxi driver talks, he looks in the mirror, and then looks at the road. He is driving fast and clumsy. He pulls out his cigar and then puts it back in his mouth. JENNIE No. I'm OK. Thanks. TAXI DRIVER You're OK? JENNIE Yeah. TAXI DRIVER Because gee, you don't look OK. I mean you're a very beautiful young lady. It's just that you look troubled that's all... JENNIE Yeah well, it's been a bad day. TAXI DRIVER A bad day! You wanna hear a bad day? Yesterday my son was smashed over by a car and when my wife found out she collapsed on the floor. She had a minor heart attack. Partial paralysis. But I don't let myself get sad. No way. Not me. It's not good for the soul. The taxi driver begins to laugh a really squeaky laugh. JENNIE Sorry. TAXI DRIVER Oh it's OK. That's life. Maybe tomorrow I'll win lotto. Who knows? You don't. No one does. Jennie continues to look glumly out the window. TAXI DRIVER You know. I could tell you were sad by the way your eyes drooped. Like an adopted kid. That's the way an adopted kid's eyes look. All sad like that. All droopy and sweet. Like the honey that I lick off my finger. He starts to laugh. Jennie continues to look sadly out the window. TAXI DRIVER Would I be prying if I asked you what was wrong? Jennie is silent. TAXI DRIVER Miss, would I be prying? JENNIE Everything is wrong. TAXI DRIVER No, not everything? The sun is still shinning. It's a beautiful day out. Some things are OK. Right? JENNIE Yeah, I guess so. TAXI DRIVER Did you and your boyfriend just break up? JENNIE No. TAXI DRIVER Are you in trouble with the law? JENNIE No. TAXI DRIVER Am I getting warm? Jennie smiles. The taxi driver looks in the mirror and sees Jennie smiling. TAXI DRIVER Now that's it. A smile. You look like a prom queen when you smile. Like a glamour girl. JENNIE Yeah? TAXI DRIVER Oh yeah, sure. When I was a kid I had a crush on the prom queen. Darlene Louis. She had a big black mole in the center of her face that used to get me so excited. Darlene Louis. You know you look a little bit like her. JENNIE Thanks. TAXI DRIVER Yeah. Right around the cheeks and chin. Boy did I have a crush on her. She was the first girl I ever put my tongue in her mouth. He stops at a red light and turns around to look at her. TAXI DRIVER Hey look. Whatever it is. Just forget about it. Life's too short. Make yourself happy. I'll give you an example. When my golden retriever passed away. God rest his soul. (he punches the roof of the cab) I was lonesome. I missed him. So I got a tattoo. He pulls up his shirt and reveals a tattoo of a dog on his forearm. It says "Bruno" in big letters. TAXI DRIVER Now how do you like that? Now he's with me forever. The light turns and he starts driving. TAXI DRIVER I swear to God. Sometimes he barks. I can hear him straight off my arm. Ruff, ruff, he goes. JENNIE Yeah? TAXI DRIVER Yeah. I'm not saying you should get a tattoo. But you should make yourself happy. JENNIE What if you can't make yourself happy? What if everything falls apart? TAXI DRIVER Well then, I don't know. You know what you do then? You forget. Block it out. I remember when I was a little boy. My grandmother told me to be happy. She said. She said, "Leon, my darling little grandson. If you want to be happy don't think. Don't bump into any walls. If you stutter. Don't talk" And I took her advice. And look at me now. Couldn't be happier. He starts to laugh. A quick shot of his identification badge. He has a really goofy smile and he's wearing the same Hawaiian shirt. TAXI DRIVER That's life. Jennie is smiling. JENNIE Your a real philosopher. TAXI DRIVER Yeah. I was gonna write a book but I can't spell. He pulls up on Washington Square Park. He slams on the brakes and turns around in his seat. TAXI DRIVER Well here we are, Miss. Jennie pulls some money out. TAXI DRIVER Aw, don't worry 'bout it. The rides on me. Jennie has the money up to the glass. TAXI DRIVER All right, all right, I'll take it. But forget about the tip. He takes her money. JENNIE Thanks. Bye. The taxi driver sticks his head out the window. TAXI DRIVER Oh yeah. Oh Miss. Miss. When you smile, God notices. That's why the sun is shining. He points up to the sky before pulling away. EXT.

PUBLIC SWIMMING POOL - NIGHT The pool is closed. Large black gates surround the premises. All the kids are climbing up the gates. Casper is the first one to the top and just jumps over. Eventually everyone follows. They all walk up to the pool and start taking their clothes off. Casper pulls his shirt and pants off. He looks over at Kim, who is wearing G-string underwear. CASPER Geez Kim. Your body looks fuckin' good. KIM Thanks. CASPER It's funny how sometimes you can't tell if a girl has a nice body until you see her without her clothes. Kim smiles. Harold starts imitating a strong man. He starts flexing his muscles. He's wearing a pair of baggy boxer shorts. Then he turns to Joy. HAROLD Hey Joy. You ever see a black man's lasso? JOY What?

Darcy and Telly walk over to the other side and sit down on the edge of the pool with their feet in the water. Telly starts smiling at Darcy. He cups a little bit of water in his hands and pours it on her thigh. Everyone else is in the water making noise and splashing around. DARCY Ooh. You're gonna give me goose bumps. TELLY Is it cold? Darcy puts some water in her hand and does the same thing. TELLY You know I've been thinking about you lately. DARCY (surprised) You have? TELLY Yeah. After I saw you last week. DARCY At the block party? TELLY Yeah. Darcy smiles. She looks a little bit embarrassed. TELLY I was lookin' for you all day today. DARCY You were? TELLY Sure. I even thought about you when I woke up. A quick three second flashback of him having sex earlier that day with the young virgin girl. It's very loud as she screams. TELLY I was like. I gotta find Darcy. Where is she at? I was lookin' all over. Darcy smiles. Joy and Kim are sitting next to each other on the steps in the shallow end of the pool. Steven, Harold, and Casper are in the water in front of the girls. Joy and Kim are both wearing bras. CASPER I'll give you a dollar if you let me suck on your tit. Kim kicks water in his face. CASPER No I'm serious. Can I suck your tit? Either of you guys. I don't care. HAROLD Yeah me too. KIM Casper, why do you think I would let you suck on my boobs? CASPER I don't know. Your just sitting there. And your tits look clean to me. It makes me want to suck on 'em. Telly is sitting in the same spot, talking to Darcy. DARCY I thought you had a girlfriend. TELLY Naw. I'm not seeing anybody. What about you? DARCY No. I can't. My mom won't let me have boyfriends. TELLY She won't? Why not? DARCY I don't know. I guess it's cause my sister Nicki had a baby when she was like 15. She was really young so my mom is like very protective over me. TELLY Yeah. I can understand that. Back to the shallow end with Casper, Steven, Harold, Kim, and Joy. HAROLD I truth or dare you guys to kiss each other. JOY Sure. We kiss all the time. They both smile at each other and kiss softly on the lips. As they part, they smile.

OUTSIDE NASA - RAVE - NIGHT This is the line to Nasa. People are lined up and down the block waiting to get inside. All the kids are wearing rave clothing which resembles clown suits with stack shoes and huge colorful hats. It looks like a hip-hop circus. Jennie is walking quickly past everyone on line. She comes to the front. SID, a short gay Chinese boy with orange hair, is carrying a clipboard guest list under his arm and has a Sesame Street purse in his other hand. When he sees Jennie, he walks up and unclips the rope. SID Jennie! Was up girl? Sid bends over and gives Jennie a kiss. JENNIE Hi Sid. After Jennie walks in, Sid reclips the rope. Jennie walks up the stairs and past the security guards and metal detectors. SECURITY GUARD Hi Jennie. Jennie smiles and walks by. Nasa is like a giant warehouse. It has hallways and rooms. Kids invade every inch of the club. As Jennie walks in, the Techno music grows very loud. The music should sound as if you were stuck in a fast-paced video game. Kids are running around everywhere. The CAMERA follows Jennie through the club as if it is seeing everything Jennie sees. The dance floor is packed with kids holding flashlights and sucking on pacifiers. As she walks through the darkened hallways, people are against the walls making out. As she gets to the end of the hallway, there is a big crowd of people. She jumps to see what everyone is looking at. FIDGET, a short white guy who is very hyper and speaks very quickly, runs up to Jennie and grabs her wrist. FIDGET Jennie, Jennie. How do you feel? JENNIE Fine Fidget. What's all this? FIDGET Oh man. You gotta see this. It's a spectacle. A real spectacle. Fidget pulls Jennie through the crowd. FIDGET Now look at that. Amazing sexual exploration. There are three girls and one boy making out against the back wall. The boy is wearing an afro wig. They all have their clothes on, but they are all going at it like crazy. Two of the girls are making out with each other while they rub the boy. The other girl is kissing the boy while he is feeling on her body. Jennie looks surprised. The other kids are laughing and yelling at them. One of the girls making out looks at the crowd and sticks her tongue out. GIRL You don't have to look at us. It's not a free show. She continues making out. Everyone laughs. The music is loud and adds to the intensity of the scene. JENNIE Who are they? FIDGET I don't know. I've never seen any of them before. Cornballs from Jersey on X. Feelin' the effex. Fidget looks at Jennie, she looks depressed. FIDGET Come on Jennie. Jen. He pulls her by the wrist. He takes her into the bathroom. In the bathroom there are kids in big circles smoking pot and buying pills. FIDGET I got a present for you. He digs in his pocket. JENNIE What is it? FIDGET Bang up stuff. He pulls out a pill. FIDGET This makes Special K look weak. It's a euphoric blockbuster. JENNIE No, Fidget, I... FIDGET Come on Jennie. You look sad. Just take it. JENNIE No... FIDGET Here. Swallow. He puts the pill in her mouth, and she reluctantly takes it. FIDGET Now you'll be floatin' up in Techno heaven. Don't worry, tricks are for kids. INT. STEVEN'S HOUSE - NIGHT Steven's house.

A chubby girl with braces is talking to Casper. She is drunk. CHUBBY GIRL Hey Casper. Why do they call you Casper? CASPER 'Cause Casper is my name. CHUBBY GIRL But that's not your real name. No one's name is Casper. CASPER Damn bitch. That's my name. Why do you always ask me the same shit? Why don't you go lose some fucking weight? Harold is in the corner with one shoe off. He is sitting next to a pretty oriental girl. He is holding a beer in his hand. HAROLD Come on. Let me kiss you. She turns her head. HAROLD Just let me kiss you. Lemme kiss your neck. You look pretty. He starts pulling her head, she is resisting. HAROLD Come on. Just one kiss. Steven is lying in the middle of the floor with Kim. The two of them are making out.

With his fingertips he starts caressing her soft skin. Then he gets off the couch and onto his knees. He puts one leg on his shoulder and the other on the couch. He looks at her and then pulls her panties off. Casper quickly undoes his pants and gets in between her legs. He puts her hands around his shoulders. Jennie is sort of coming to but she has no energy. She makes some noise but she is passed out and powerless. Her eyes are closed the whole time. She is not aware of what is happening. JENNIE (slurred and unconscious) Don't. Please don't. No. No. Casper starts situating himself. She is totally limp. CASPER Shh. Don't worry Jennie. It's me Casper.

People are going to work. Stores are opening. Homeless people are just waking up from doorway slumber. Morning in Manhattan. As Telly does his V.O., the CAMERA will show everyone asleep in the apartment. It will go all around the room as daylight enters through the windows. The CAMERA also watches Telly and Darcy asleep in each other's arm's. TELLY (V.O.) When you're young. Not much matters. When you find something that you care about, then that's all you got. When you're young. A lot of the time fucking is all you have, then you go to sleep at night, you dream of pussy. When you wake up, it's the same thing. It's in your face, in your dreams, you can't escape it. Sometimes when you're young, the only place to go is inside. That's just it. Fucking is what I love. Take that away from me, and I really got nothin'. The CAMERA focuses on Casper. He is sitting up awake on the couch. All his clothes are off. He looks straight into the CAMERA. CASPER Jesus Christ.
