FADE IN:
EXT. PINK PALACE - DAY
A pink three story beach house basks in the glow of the
summer sun. This is THE PINK PALACE.
Maryland and American flags hang from the deck of the second
floor. Dirty towels, empty beer cans, random signs and cig
buds line the way inside
INT. PINK PALACE UNIT 3 - DAY
We catch a glimpse within a teenage wasteland the morning
after a party. Empty keg shells, dip spitters, delivery
food, solo cups, cig buds, condiments galore. A fly attempts
to land in a long piece of fly tape but rescinds when he
cant find a vacant spot. A loud voice sounds off, only the
speakers pearly white smile is revealed.
KROOS
Duuuuuuude Toooooom.
TOMMY & GARFIELDS ROOM
Slowly we see the figure of a short, muscular Italian boy
(19) starting from his dirty, sandy feet through his cut
soccer legs up to his slight beer belly all the way up to
his euphoric smile. He is TOMMY SCILIPITO.
KROOS (O.S)
Duuuuude Tooooom.
Tommy reads a homemade birthday card from his bed. He takes
a deep breath and a long look at the words, "Tom, Im so
glad youre my neighbor. Hope you have an awesome birthday",
followed by a heart and the name "Mary"
KROOS (O.S)
Hey Fiiish. Yo Fiiiiish.
A tall, slim late teen (19) with long blond hair, abruptly
opens the door and instantly startles Tommy. He is RYAN
KROOS. Kroos bursts into uncontrollable laughter.
KROOS
What are you doing dude?
TOMMY
Waking up.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 2.
KROOS
Oookaay. Is that (BEAT) is that a
birthday card?
Tommy takes a quick, unassuming glance at the card.
TOMMY
Maybe.
Tommy tosses the card on a night stand nearby.
KROOS
Oh. Happy birthday, dude. Well get
effed up tonight. Celebrate.
TOMMY
We already did.
KROOS
I mean yeah, we get effed up every
night. But were getting extra
effed up for your birthday tonight,
Fiiish.
TOMMY
My birthday was in June, Snake.
KROOS
Well why are you reading a birthday
card then, Fish?
TOMMY
Why dont you mind your beeswax?
KROOS
Why dont you grab a broom?
Kroos grabs a broom and tosses it Tommy.
KROOS
Were cleaning.
TOMMY
So uh.
Tommy pokes his roommate, whos basically in hibernation,
with the broom. Pale, athletically plump, highly unconscious
(18), he is RYAN GARFIELD.
TOMMY
Bobby Hill over theres cleaning
too?
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 3.
KROOS
Nah, Garfield gets to hibernate.
TOMMY
Really? Whats the line at?
KROOS
No line but there is a hibernation
prop. Oakleys laying five to one
he wont be sleeping when his shift
starts today.
TOMMY
So what? Like two thirty? Two
fourty five?
KROOS
Nah, its five to one Fish. (BEAT)
Four oclock.
Tommy glances over at Garfield whos currently completely
covered in blankets and gray sweats with the AC unit on full
blast and pokes him with a broom, forcefully. Garfield
doesnt budge. Tommy grabs his wallet, about forty and
change--mostly ones and fives. He takes all the cash and
tosses it beside Kroos.
TOMMY
Press it.
EXT. PINK PALACE - UNIT 1 - PORCH - DAY
A tall, fit young man (19) with more swag than an NBA
lottery pick tip toes out the door. He is JACK
WESTINGHAM. A tiny, tan hand taps him on the back. Jack
turns around and locks eyes with a short, curvy girl (18).
She is MARY COOPER.
JACK
Oh what up sleepin beauty?
Mary glares at Jack.
JACK
Ill holla at you later.
MARY
(unenthused)
Im sure you will.
Jack leans over, plants a quick, wet kiss on the top of
Marys head.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 4.
JACK
Muh.
Jack points at Mary.
JACK
Love yo ass.
Jack heads east toward the beach. Mary fumbles over her
parting words.
MARY
K see ya.
Jack ignores Mary, pulls out his cell, starts a call then
hops over his porch rail which is adjacent to Marys.
MARY
When Im ten shots deep.
Mary spots several shards of shattered glass on the edge of
the sidewalk. She fusses, mumbles to herself then walks into
her apartment.
Jack grabs some accessories--beach chair, Philadelphia
Eagles towel, suntan lotion from his porch.
JACK
Yo dad. Im out.
HANK (V.O)
Outta money? Get a job grouch.
JACK
I aint outta money. Got stacks of
Bens up to my nutsack. Nah, outta
protection. You feel me?
HANK (V.O)
Thought my package would last you
till Christmas, Hank.
JACK
Ha, you know how I do.
HANK (V.O)
How ya want me to ship it Hank?
JACK

more of them burgers too.
Jack struts toward the beach, about a football field east of
the Pink Palace.

INT. PINK PALACE - UNIT 3 - DAY
LIVING ROOM
Kroos, wearing white gloves, removes a fly trap which
currently has no room for flies and sticks it in a trash
bag.
KROOS
Samantha Vorhees, I kid you not, is
easily the worst hookup I keep
having.
TOMMY
Worst than Holly Heart?
Tommy simulates jerking off, then folds his hands in prayer.
KROOS
I mean Holly always gave me a
sermon after she almost stroked me
off but at least she was never
crying.
Tommy laughs and enters a bedroom which has converted into a
game room for the sole purpose of hosting ruit (beer pong)
games. This is THE RUIT ROOM.
RUIT ROOM
Tommy slides empty beers into a hinge with a trashcan
underneath--another unique nuance of their customly crafted,
astroturf ruit table. He notices several cans half full with
leftover beer.
TOMMY
So many Lakers.
BATHROOM
A hairy, athletic young man (18) dumps out Gatorade bottles
full of dip spit with a big dip in his lower lip as he chats
on his phone. He is DAVE OAKLEY.
DAVE
I gotta work babe but maybe Ill
see you tonight.
EXT. PINK PALACE - UNIT 3 - SIDEDECK
Tommy drops three full bags of trash down into an open
dumpster.
6.
INT. PINK PALACE 2ND FLOOR - LIVING ROOM - DAY
Kroos finishes waxing off a big table, trashes his cleaning
wear, then pulls a little pouch out of his pocket. Dave
enters from the bathroom as Kroos packs up a bowl of weed.
Kroos glances over at Dave, simulates smoking a bowl and
Dave sits to his left. Tommy enters from the kitchen.
KROOS
Smoke a bowl Fish?
TOMMY
Uh-huh.
KROOS
Workin today Dave?
DAVE
Of course.
KROOS
You can rip greens.
Dave receives the bowl and packs it in a little tighter.
DAVE
Are you working today Snake?
Dave takes a big rip of the bowl.
KROOS
Yeah Dave. I was off yesterday so I
get to work for the next I dont
know, eight days.
DAVE
(blowing out smoke)
What about you Fish? Got this one
off?
Dave passes the bowl to Kroos.
TOMMY
Dont you know this? I got the rest
of summer off boyeee.
Kroos starts to take a huge rip of the bowl.
DAVE
So the Roller Dough heard your
offer and theyre still refusing to
pay your hourly wages in Yoo-Hoo?
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 7.
TOMMY
Says yeah. They keep trying to low
ball me at minimum wage minus lunch
so ima just float off my
bootlegging money.
DAVE

Westiminster Wednesdays?
TOMMY

Dog to see me through summer.
Kroos keeps coughing ferociously.
KROOS
Alright (BEAT) ok, alright let me
ask you a question.
TOMMY
(goofy)
Sure.
KROOS
Now that you quit your job, what
exactly do you do all day?
DAVE
He philosophifizes.
KROOS
Hes a philosifizer.
Tommy grabs the bowl from Kroos.
TOMMY
Shuuuut uupppp.
Tommy takes a long rip, turning his head simultaneously to
see Mary from outside his window sweeping up broken glass
with a dutiful, reflexive posture.
EXT. PINK PALACE - 1ST FLOOR - DAY
Mary trashes some broken glass into the open dumpster
sliding door. Tommy grabs an Orioles towel off the step
railing and heads to the sidewalk. Mary walks under the
stairs and onto her porch. Tommy calls out to her.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 8.
TOMMY
Afternoon Mary!
MARY
Hey Tom. Whats up?
TOMMY
Just cruisin to the beach. Saying
what up to my favorite neighbor.
MARY
(quietly)
I have lots of favorite neighbors.
TOMMY
What?
MARY
I said, I have lots of favorite
neighbors.
Tommy steps closer so he and Mary are separated by just the
wooden railing of her porch.
TOMMY
Lots?
MARY
Yeah well theres Dave and Kroos
and Unit. Soup, Shorty, Timmy. But
youre in there of course.
TOMMY
Those dudes on the third floor are

MARY
Of course. Theyre like really

TOMMY
I mean, I know they save lives and
protect the beach and all. And I
respect that. But they really

Timmyll sometimes roll up to our
parties wearing no shirt and a
cowboy hat.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 9.
MARY
Yeah, thats pretty lame.
TOMMY
Not that sick. Im also pretty sure

direct line to our friends at the
OCPD, as does our amigo Soup.
MARY
Soup would never call the cops on

TOMMY
Well he is your butt buddy, so yeah

MARY

friend of mine.
TOMMY
Well how come I always see you guys

MARY
Whaaaaat?
TOMMY
Seriously. Well go to play beer
wars. Soupll be flexing his
muscles, reeling off intermediate
Spanish, empty Sangria bottles all
over your porch.
MARY
Por favor.
Suddenly, Marys door flies open. Mary makes a very awkward
glance backward. Her sister (22), short, curvy like Mary,
but a lot preppier steps out in a floral Seacrets shirt and
short skirt. This is KRISTI.
KRISTI
Mare cmon. Hop in the shower.
Were gonna be late. Chop Chop.
MARY
Be right there.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 10.
TOMMY
Afternooon Kristi!

TOMMY
Yoo hoo.
Mary turns around.
TOMMY

MARY
You guys are having a party.
Surprise, surprise. You know Ill

TOMMY

MARY
Um, if you could get me a bottle of
Bacardi O, Id be very grateful.
TOMMY

Well, well then, a bottle of

turns back once Marys door is shut.

Jack signals to his Dublin.
JACK
Yo, Im T.O, you Randall
Cunningham. Hit me on a go route.
Jack sprints toward the ocean waters, Dublin heaves a deep
ball. Jack dives for the ball, appears to fumble it as he
crashes into the water. He goes under for a second, then
rises up with the football.
JACK
Eagles win!
Jack turns in sync with Ally.
JACK (CONTD)
Hey pretty lady.

girls play "Up the River, Down the River". Tommy peaks back
at Mary one last time, no eye contact is made and he enters
the

One hundred dollars lays in the middle of the table. Dublin
tosses Tommy and Kroos ping pong balls.

Tommy still sinks it.
-- Mary draws an ace and Kelly signals for a ten second chug
by putting up both hands. Mary chugs her drink until its
all.
END MONTAGE.
RUIT ROOM
Kroos and Tommy are in a tight game with a pale, goofy kid
wearing a "Cat in the" Hat and his buddy. He is THE RANDOM
KID. Krooss shot rims out.
KROOS
Come on Fish. You hit it, I hit it.
While Kroos slurs into Tommys ear, the random kid bounces
and sinks his shot.
RANDOM KID
Ooooh. Ill take two for the money.
Reluctantly, Tommy removes two cups. One is left.
RANDOM KID
Cmon Dusty, lets show these fools
how beer pong is played in
Salisbury.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 26.
DUSTY
Ugh, can I get a courtesy?
Tommy centers the last cup.
RANDOM KID
Cmon Dusty, lets send these fools
to bed early, without supper.
Dusty takes his time, sinks the cup and waves his opponents
"bye-bye". Tommy simulates hari-kari and Kroos simulates
capping himself in the head. Tommy chugs the cup, tosses it
and heads outside.
EXT. PINK PALACE 2ND FLOOR - NIGHT - DECK
Mary sits on an Omega-shaped chair with a sad gaze. This is
THE OMEGA CHAIR. Tommy approaches.
TOMMY
Mary (BEAT) why you so sad?
Seriously? Whats wrong?
MARY
Nada mucho.
TOMMY
I dont believe you. (SPANISH)
MARY
I think its funny how you and me
were the only ones that cared about
helping that Mexican.
TOMMY
I mean yeah. We both showed
compassion for a drunk stranger.
How is it funny?
MARY
You know what I mean.
TOMMY
How much have you had to drink to
tonight?
MARY
Waaay too much. We were playing up
the river, down the river foor evv
ahhh.
Mary nearly pukes.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 27.
TOMMY
Wait here, Ill bring you water.
MARY
Where are you going?
Marys face turns pale, she grabs her stomach.
INT. PINK PALACE -UNIT 3 - KITCHEN
Tommy scans the entire kitchen for a fresh, non-alcoholic
drink. After a long search, he finds a bottle of water in a
cabinet.
EXT. PINK PALACE - UNIT 3 - DECK - NIGHT
Mary is gone and replaced by a little pool of puke.
INT. PINK PALACE - UNIT 1 - NIGHT
Tommy knocks. Kristi answers.
KRISTI
Just a case of the spins and a
major league blackout. I got her
though, shes good. No worries.
Mary spots Tommy from the toilet.
MARY
Toooom. Lets play some roooooot!!
TOMMY
Maybe manana Mary. Buena noche.
MARY
Hasta lluego.
Mary continues vomiting in the toilet.
INT. PINK PALACE - UNIT 3 - TOMMY & GARFIELDS ROOM - NIGHT
Tommy rolls around in his bed, frustrated. He tries
sleeping, it doesnt work so he lays back in his bed and
meditates with his hands behind his head. When the sun
rises, hes locked in a trance with his birthday card on his
heart.
28.
INT. PINK PALACE - UNIT 1 - KITCHEN - DAY
Mary enters very sluggishly and joins Kristi at the kitchen
table.
MARY
Oh my f-in G. Im never drinking
again, I dont even remember what
happened last night!
KRISTI
Shocker.
MARY
That like literally has never
happened to me before. Last night
just feels like one big blur and I
remember next to nothing.
KRISTI
You had your first blackout sister.
Salud!
Kristi slides Mary a glass of orange juice.
MARY
A blackout? That doesnt sound
good.
Mary takes a big sip of the juice.
KRISTI
Oh its not. Its when you drink so
much that the hippocampus in your
brain shrinks and you like cant
form any new memories. But dont
worry youll blackout like 87% of
college.
MARY
I cant hardly wait. I didnt do
anything stupid did I?
KRISTI
Besides crushing handles of Cuervo
with some alkis? Not that I
remember. You were really funny
though, kept slurring all this
stuff about Tommy being like night
and day, like really hard to figure
out and Jack being this big
meathead. Of course, this was all
in between your extended make out
sesh with our toilet.
(CONTINUED)

MARY
Dont remember most of that, but
thats probably why my stomach
feels like death.
INT. PINK PALACE - UNIT 3 - LIVING ROOM - DAY
Tommy sits on the couch watching "Family Matters". Garfield
enters.
TOMMY
Gggg G unit. What are you doing up
so early?
GARFIELD
Supposed to go in at noon. Passed
out kinda early. Hungover as fuck.
Garfield enters the kitchen, grabs a Gatorade from the
fridge.
TOMMY (O.S)
You just cost me fifty bones but
whatever. I dont give a shit.
Heard you did a pretty gnarly keg
stand last night.
Garfield reenters the living room.
GARFIELD
Whered you hear that?
TOMMY
My sources indicate you did a
fierce keg stand and booted all
over the kitchen floor.
GARFIELD
The rumors are true but keg stands
are a very tricky skill to master.
How was your night, Fish?
TOMMY
Almost legendary.
GARFIELD
Huh?
TOMMY
I couldnt close with my queen.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 30.
GARFIELD
What the fuck are you talking
about?
TOMMY
Mary.
GARFIELD
Yeah what about her?
TOMMY
I fucking love that girl.
GARFIELD
Yeah, shes okay.
TOMMY
Shes more than okay, Unit. Shes
got everything I want. Shes nice,
shes smart, talented, loves the
Dave Matthews Band (BEAT) but...
GARFIELD
She gave Kroos a handjob.
TOMMY
That was earlier in the summer and
it only bothers me a little bit.
No, Im just soooo intimidated to
make a big move.
GARFIELD
I would be too if I were you.
TOMMY
And why is that?
GARFIELD
I mean, have you ever fingered a
girl?
INT. PINK PALACE - UNIT 1 - KITCHEN - DAY
Mary and Kristi share some English muffins.
KRISTI
So you really dont remember
anything about last night, besides
nearly getting raped?
MARY
I remember a little something else.
Mary flashes a satisfied smile.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 31.
KRISTI
Who was the lucky boy?
MARY
Wait, how did you know--whatever.
The boy Ive been trying to figure
out all summer.
KRISTI
Tommy? No way.
MARY
Way. We made out on that drunk
Mexicans porch. It was actually
pretty sloppy. (BEAT) I just wish I
didnt go so wasted afterwards.
KRISTI
You wanted more didnt you? You
dirty girl.
MARY
I did. I mean was waiting all
summer for it to happen, then he
quit his job and starting getting
strange, so I kinda gave up. But
last night, I was definitely
feeling him. (BEAT) And then I
blacked out and he never left the
ruit table.
KRISTI
Sounds like it could be a Disney
story.
Mary flicks off her sister.
KRISTI
Why do you think it took so long
for something to happen?
MARY
Toms pretty timid when it comes to
that kind of stuff.
Mary leans closer to Kristi and whispers.
MARY
I dont think hes ever made
whoopie.
INT. PINK PALACE - UNIT 3 - DAY
Tommy and Garfield converse on the couch.
(CONTINUED)

TOMMY
I mean, Ive come close a few
times.
GARFIELD
Story of your life, Fish. Big show,
no results.
TOMMY
What do you call making out with
Mary last night?
GARFIELD
A cool story you can tell your
friends at recess.
TOMMY
Progress Unit.
GARFIELD
Three months as neighbors, parties
every single night and still, one
kiss to show for it?
TOMMY
Im worry I wont be able to please
her.
GARFIELD
You really dont get it, do you
Fish?
TOMMY
I mean, yeah. I think.
GARFIELD
No, you dont.
TOMMY
Okay Clarissa, explain it all!
GARFIELD
Okay Fish, you shouldve learned
this a long time ago but since
youre clearly clueless, Ill set
you straight. How do you know when
a girl wants to fuck?
TOMMY
Um, uh.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 33.
GARFIELD
When she goes like this.
Garfield slides his hair over his ears.
TOMMY
Seriously?
GARFIELD
I mean, thats usually a tell but
more importantly, how do you make a
girl wanna fuck you?
TOMMY
Um, make a lot of TGIF references?
GARFIELD
Yeah, quote Uncle Jesse
religiously. Thatll get her wet.
Nah, bro you need to be not just a
man, you need to be the man. Youve
never been there before? Oh my god,
Ive never been there before. Oh
God, what do I do? You know what
that is?
TOMMY
A justification.
GARFIELD
No its just a fucking excuse. None
of had ever been there before we
started getting butt. You really
wanna bone Mary?
TOMMY
I mean, it would be more like
making sweet, passionate love. But
yeah.
GARFIELD
Then stop being all neurotic Jewy
about it and be the Italian fucking
Stallion you were born to be.
(BEAT) The hour glass is running

MARY
Can you carry me?
KRISTI
Bitch please.
EXT. 39TH STREET - DAY
Tommy carries two beach chairs and gives Mary a piggy back
ride. Kristi trails behind with a chair and a cooler.
TOMMY
You have a good time last night?
MARY
From what I can remember, I had an
awesome time.
TOMMY
Remember rescuing that Mexican?
MARY
That was before I starting making
with Jose Cuervo. So of course I
remember. Thanks for saving me.
TOMMY
I mean, it was actually a pretty
easy decision. Didnt even have to
think about it.
Tommy simulates weighing his options with his hands.
TOMMY
Protect Mary from getting raped by
a drunken, middle-aged Mexican, or
let Mary get raped by a drunken,
middle-aged Mexican.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 35.
KRISTI
Were glad it was such an easy
decision for you.
EXT. OCEAN - DAY
Mary comes up from a salt-water soak. Her hair glistens, her
boobs are an awesome sight. Tom just stares at her.
MARY
What?
TOMMY
You are soooo beautiful. (BEAT) And
Im truly sorry.
MARY
For what? I couldve been raped by
a Mexican if it werent for you.
TOMMY
Ill never be sorry about that but
I do sincerely apologize for
running the table for so long last
night.
MARY
Its okay. I guess you like playing
ruit more than you like spending
time with me.
TOMMY
False. House record was in triple
jeopardy and I did not think you
were gonna slay so much tequila.
MARY
Neither did I. Guess things dont
always turn out how we thought they
would.
TOMMY
No they usually dont.
An awkward pause ensues. A Neptune-like Garfield belts
wisdom from the ocean.
GARFIELD (V.O)
Confidence bromosapien.

TOMMY
Working tonight?
MARY
No Im off. Thank the Lord.
TOMMY
Puuurfect.
MARY
Maybe Im still mad at you, ruit
boy.
TOMMY
I will gladly make it up to you.
MARY
You better.
Mary spots a big wave and ducks. Tommy reacts slower and
gets decked by the wave.
BEACH
Mary reads the Purpose Driven Life. She finishes a chapter
then slowly takes in a deeply satiated breath before putting
the book to her heart and sliding her book mark to Day 27.
She turns to Tommy whos already staring at her.
TOMMY
So, what are you planning on
studying at Messaih University?
MARY
Well I really want to work in
childrens hospital. So bio, chem,
physics, psych, calc. Im basically
gonna have no life.
TOMMY
Yeah right. Youll the best kind of
life.
MARY
Oh really? What kind is that?
TOMMY

kids would love you.
MARY
I hope, theyd like me.

TOMMY
How could they not? Your heart
seriously, its big, like Michael
Jackson 1980s big.
MARY
I feel the same way about you Tom.
This book was a gift from my
pastor, Rev Kev.
Mary holds the Purpose Driven Life high.
MARY
And youre supposed to read one
chapter a day for forty days. But I
feel like you dont even need to
read it.
Nearby a family builds a sandcastle. The kids shape the
walls, the dad comes through with two big buckets of water.
The mom looks on with joy.
TOMMY
Do you think we met each other for
a reason?
MARY
I do think we met each other for a
reason.
TOMMY
Then what do you think last night
meant?
MARY
I should never ever chug Tequila
again?
TOMMY
No I mean, I know you dont
remember you and Joses make out
sesh but (BEAT) do you remember
ours?
MARY
Tom, youre a great guy and all but

They always end in hurt.
TOMMY
Weve become friends havent we?

MARY
Of course.
TOMMY
Well thats a relationship not
likely to end in hurt.
MARY
True.
Nearby, the All-American family fine tunes their sandcastle.
MARY
So have you like declared your
major yet?
TOMMY
Not yet, but its gonna be
Philosophy.
MARY
Oh yeah. What are you gonna do with
that?
TOMMY
Discover the meaning of life.
MARY
Good luck. Any leads?
TOMMY
The meaning of life (BEAT) is to
live a meaningful life.
MARY
I like that.
Marys ringtone sounds off, The Voice of Truth by the
Casting Crowns. Mary checks her phone and eagerly answers.

trays. So I just grabbed a sixer of
Bud Heavy and rolled out.
TOMMY
Nice.
GARFIELD
Yeah three months was enough. Got
enough cizzash saved up. Tryin to

Tommy and Garfield approach a janky old beach house. The
grass is long, unkempt. Flags and blinds block all the
windows. Tommy knocks. Garfield sniffles.
GARFIELD
I smell chloroform.
The door opens slightly. John the Dude peers out.
JOHN THE DUDE

John packs up a hookah. He and the boys sit in a circle
around it. John puts some coals on the hookah, everyone
takes a rip.
JOHN THE DUDE
Whats up with that Samantha girl?
She have a boyfriend? She does have
a serious boyfriend, dont she?
John looks around for confirmation. Empty stares. Tommy
blows out smoke, instantly hes high.
JOHN THE DUDE
And methinks she loves him, but
homeboy aint exactly in town this
summer.
GARFIELD
Not anywhere close.
The weed starts to hit Tommy hard. Time moves slow, sound of
his voice freaks him out slightly.
TOMMY
Shes all yours, John.
JOHN THE DUDE
Seriously whats her boyfriends
name? He play football? You think I
could take him?
TOMMY
She doesnt have a boyfriend, John.
GARFIELD
But she does have a little bit of a
haunted past.
JOHN THE DUDE

disgusting than anything else.
John snaps out of his trance.
JOHN THE DUDE
Yeah kids today all about that
instant rush! Dont know shit about
waiting for what they really want.
TOMMY
I blame it on the internet.
Tommy and Unit rip the hookah simultaneously.
JOHN THE DUDE
Absolutely. Abso fucking lutely!
Good call Fish. You know, I think
Samantha would dig a guy like me.
John takes a pull of the hookah.
JOHN THE DUDE
Id treat her right. Wouldnt use
her passed out hand to jerk myself
off or anything like that.
Garfield blows out smoke.
GARFIELD
John, youre more than twice her
age. Youre perpetually about to
get off probation.
Tommy laughs out loud, coughs hard. Then takes another
pull.
GARFIELD
Moreover, you currently make eight

GARFIELD
Right, eight seventy five. My point

digs you?
JOHN THE DUDE
I think you rookiesll find this
out with a little more time in the
big leagues.
Tommy comes up for air, blows out smoke. John covers his
eyes and throws his hands in all directions.
JOHN THE DUDE
Love? Its blind. We cant pick and
choose who we fall in love with.
All we can do is ride the wave.
Love our fate.
Tommy looks mesmerized.
GARFIELD
Awesome. Can we get our bag now?
Garfield tosses John a wad of cash.
JOHN THE DUDE
Alright. I see how it is. Ignore
the crazy older guy, just get his
pot.
Garfield nods in agreement. John quickly counts.

Well here you go amigo. Peace,

Tommy finishes up another rip of the hookah. His eyes are

Kants a poser.
TOMMY
Blasphemy.
JOHN THE DUDE
I used to prefer Kant to Nietzche,
then I grew a pair.
TOMMY
The only thing thats universally

masterful. The Lion of 19th century
European thought. Whats in this

John the Dude smiles, then shrugs his shoulders.

No they sure aint. And chances are

GARFIELD
(laughing)
What do you mean?
MARY
Is he like (BEAT) on something?
GARFIELD
Just some good buds.
MARY
Wouldnt that like, make him more
mellow?
GARFIELD
It usually does. But this weeds a
little different. And John the Dude
probably put a little something
extra in the hookah. Either way,
hes clearly tweeking.
RUIT ROOM
Dave, Kara and other late teens fill the room. Tommy bursts
in with a euphoric smile.
TOMMY
A religion dominated by fear is
false!
Cold silence.
TOMMY

love casts out fear so dont let
the hell fire sermons scare you
from being human.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 53.
KARA
Oooh K.
TOMMY
Perfect love is infinite love so
love infinitely and cast out your

No its not blinding me. Its
fucking scaring me and every body
else in this room.
TOMMY
Then love infinitely and cast out
your fears!
DAVE
What did you take tonight and how
much of it did you take?
TOMMY
I didnt take anything. I gave it
all away!
DAVE
Youre not on anything right now?
TOMMY
Yeah actually I am Dave. (BEAT) Im
on point!

EXT. THE BEACH - DAY
Dublin and Jack swim in the ocean. Tommy walks through water
to approach Jack.
TOMMY
I got an awesome idea for a movie.
Itll make a hundred million
dollars.
Tommy and Jack duck under a wave.
TOMMY
Basically the plot revolves around
a secret tournament like the plot
of Bloodsport only with ruit
instead of karate and bros come
from all over the world to compete
in it. Its called "Ruitsport" and
Haley Joe Osmands playing the
lead!
JACK
In your mother fucking I dont get

A preppy brunette in Lily Pulitizer texts on her fancy

TOMMY
A lot of the Bible has been
manipulated, wordsve been
mistranslated and political
motivesve influenced its canon. So
dont take it literally!
Remy pauses, takes a close deep look at Tommy.
REMY
Do you have anymore (BEAT) ecstasy?
TOMMY
True ecstasy is only achieved when
the egos attached to nothing. Its
not something I can give you. It
can only be found within.
Tom folds his hands and bows at Remy.
- Tommy is in the back of a movie theater, watching
Dodgeball and laughing loud, obnoxiously.

TOMMY
Fuck going to the zoo. You wanna

fucking zoo. One ape likes to
blackout and drop bottles over our
deck in the middle of the street,
for little kids to walk on on their
way to the beach!
Dave, barely conscious, looks up at Tommy.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 56.
TOMMY
Another ape likes to pass out
naked, on our couch, with nothing
but a condom on! And the last
apes, sole intent in this world,
is to make my life miserable!
INT. PINK PALACE 2ND FLOOR - LIVING ROOM - NIGHT
Half-baked teens sit with a buzz and high levels of
confusion, indifference as Tommy rants.
TOMMY
Five, being religious is not
believing in virgin births, parting
of seas, Adam or Eve. (BEAT) Its
loving your neighbor.
Mary steps out of the kitchen, highly intoxicated and
holding a beer bong.
TOMMY
Hey Mary!
EXT. THE BEACH - DAY

DAVE
Its for your own good. Consider it
college prep.
KROOS
You really didnt get f-ed up like
every weekend and on snow days and
sometimes on Tuesdays when they had

Tommy walks up the highway, barefoot, lost in grandiose

DAVE (O.S)
Ive known the Fish for twelve

anything that even closely
resembles the way hes been acting
lately.
Tommy approaches the ATM, takes out a hundred dollars cash.
GARFIELD (O.S)
Hes always been goofy, more than a
little off. But it was always the
good kind of crazy. Now, Im
honestly a little scared I might be
his next suit.
Tommy holds his cash out, a woman salivates. He passes her a
fresh twenty.
DAVE (O.S)
Nah Fish would never hurt us
physically, but hes definitely
cruising for some involuntary
commitment.
Tommy continues up Coastal Highway, mumbling to himself.
EXT. THE BEACH - DAY
Mary, Dave, Kroos and Garfield sip mixed drinks and sit out
in the sun.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 58.
MARY
You think its drugs?
DAVE
Definitely could be. Dont think
weed alone would make him this
crazy though.
GARFIELD
Methanphetamine would explain the
tweeking and rabid, scattered
intensity but I dunno. Hes never
been one to fuck around with the
hard shit.
MARY
Hes still a great guy. And
Ive like, been wanting to hook up
with him, basically all summer

hes getting really weird.

A motley crew of party guests look on with pensive and
confused stares and Tom manically rants.
TOMMY
Dont be embarrassed to be naked!
We were created naked and were
werent embarrassed! God only got
mad in the Creation story after our
mythic ancestors, Adam and Eve,
covered themselves for being naked.
They lived in a fucking paradise.
Infinite bliss. But what happened?
They got embarrassed to be naked
and God said get the fuck outta my
garden! Moral of the story, dont
be embarrassed to be naked!
GARFIELD
Great story Fish, cheers.
TOMMY
I dont have a beer.
GARFIELD
Have mine.
Tommy takes a quick glance at the beer then gives a toast.

DAVE

but Id say a very necessary play.

SULLY
And you shitheads told me to flush

DAVE
Secondly, we need to figure out a
way to make sure this never happens
(BEAT) ever again.
KARA

GARFIELD
Seriously.
KROOS
No doubt.
JACK
For real.
DAVE
I really cant figure out what it
is but..
JACK
Oh really Sherlock? Hmmmm, what
could it be? (BEAT) Oh yeah, now I
remember. Kids cuckoo, cuckoo.
Jack twirls his finger around his temple.
KARA
I wouldnt say hes nuts. Hes just
going through something.
JACK
Yeah a motha fuckin joyride on
Comet Halebopp.
Jack slugs on a Natural Ice.
GARFIELD
Its something. Sometimes its
hilarious and dead on, but usually
its just weird and really fucking
annoying.
KARA
Do you guys know his parents well?
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 61.
DAVE
I do. But I dont think were there
yet.
SULLY
No, lets just keep drugging him
and see what happens.
JACK
Mother fucker slapped me in the
face and said, "I can make it
rain". Call the ER, we got a Loony
Toon on the loose!
KARA
We really should think about maybe
calling his parents.
DAVE
I dunno. Fish might think were
betraying him.
On the TV comes a rap video. "Getting some head".
JACK
Oh this my anthem right here.
Jack turns it up loud.
KARA
We really need to do something to
help him though.
Garfield points to the TV, a group of dudes are getting some
simulated, clothed dome while the line "I was getting some
head" repeats several times.
GARFIELD
Boom goes the dynamite.
DUBLIN
Huh?
GARFIELD
Thats the cure! Right there.
KROOS
A rap video.
GARFIELD
No Arnie. Some wet, mindful dome.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 62.
KARA
You think?
DAVE
Yours always blow my mind.
KARA
Yeah, really fast.
GARFIELD
Think about it. Whats the one
major thing that separates Tommy
from the rest of us?
KROOS
Hes good at math.
JACK
He never gets any!
GARFIELD
Exactly. I think its finally
making him snap.
Garfield surveys the room.
GARFIELD
Alright, imagine going through all
levels of school. Middle school,
high school, summer before college,
freshmen year of college, summer of
04, senior prom, Senior Week
without getting even a little piece
of ass.
Garfield points around the room.
GARFIELD
Every single one of us would go
crazy too. Im honestly surprised
its taken him this long to crack.
JACK
Yeah maybe he would mellow the fuck
out if got his D wet. But like
seriously, who the fuck would give
head to a dude that mother fucking
goofy?
63.
EXT. PINK PALACE - CURB - DAY
Routinely, ritualistically Mary sweeps up broken glass as
Dave approaches.
DAVE
Sorry.
MARY
Its okay, I know its all that
maniac Sullys doing.
DAVE
Yeah I mean. I dont know what
happened. We were all drinking
having a good time, then he starts
dropping bottles over the deck.
MARY
Its whatever, alcohol does funny
things to the brain.
DAVE
Yeah, especially when youre twenty
one alumni shots deep. But you
shouldnt have to clean up after
that savage all the time. Broom.
MARY
Oh you dont have to.
DAVE
I want to. And Im with you, dont
want any kids lacerating their feet
on the way to the beach today.
MARY
Thats why I do it.
Dave quickly sweeps up shards of broken glass and empties
them in the dumpster.
MARY
Ive never seen Kare this giddy
over a boy before. But its pretty
clear why.
DAVE
Yeah, shes crazy. No, shes an
awesome girl. Greatest thing to
ever happen to me. I just...
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 64.
MARY
What?
DAVE
Hope it last forever.
MARY
Awww, it will. If its part of the
plan.
DAVE
You really believe in that?
MARY
Of course I believe in that. God
always has a plan.
DAVE
Well now that were speaking in
that kind of tongue, would you say
that Gods servants doing acts of
charity for the sick on his behalf,
might be part of his plan?
MARY
I mean, I dont know the mind of
God. But I do know the love of God.
And I definitely feel it when Im
doing charity work.
DAVE
Great cuz I found a very needy,
worthy and urgent cause.
EXT. COASTAL HIGHWAY - DAY
Beautiful summer day. Tommy rides his bike in the bike lane
north on Coastal and rocks a fanny pack.
DAVE (V.O)
Tonight if you so kindly oblige,
you will not be serving PBJs to
the local homeless, singing
Christmas carols to kids with
cancer or giving Special Olympians
renewed hope, but you will still be
doing an exceptional act of
charity.
EXT. PINK PALACE - DAY
Dave relays the plan to Mary.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 65.
DAVE
As Im sure youve noticed, our
good friend Fish has been feeling,
a little too sick lately and were
asking you as his self-proclaimed
queen, to provide the holistic
cure. Dont think you have to take
his V-card or anything but if you
could come onto him tonight
A souped up Honda Civic enters the bike lane and begins to
intimidate Tommy with its cacophonous sound.
DAVE (O.S)
And maybe wax his pole. Itll make
all our lives, trust me, so much
easier. Most importantly, itll
bring him back down to Earth--where
he belongs
The Civic driver beeps his horn several times, Tommy looks
back with a hard stare.
DAVE (O.S)
And where we all need him to be to
ensure the summer ends peacefully
and without a very difficult but
absolutely necessary phone call to
the ER.
The Civic finally peels wheels around Tommy. The passenger
side windows open and some wannabe gangsters stick their
heads out.
GANGSTA WITH GRILLS
Fuck, fuck fuck you mother fucker.
GANGSTA WITH JERRY CURLS
Sweet fanny pack faggot.
TOMMY
You should be sterilized.
The Civic continues speeding up Coastal Highway. Tommys
phone beeps once. Confused, Tommy opens his fanny pack and
puts his ear to his phone. Then he sees that he has a "text
message". Tommy looks pensive. He surveys his options, hits
OK, then reads the message from "DAVE". "Come to Northside
Park now. Were all knocking it around."

GARFIELD
You actually knew about that? How?
TOMMY
Intuition, a little espionage and

GARFIELD
Who the fuck cares? Its just a
girl. A little piece of ass that
lives downstairs.
TOMMY
Shes more than that to me and a
charity hummer from her wouldve

tonight but I dunno, I just get the
strange feeling shes gonna, get
drunk and wax Krooss pole instead.
DAVE
Fish, she said shell see you
tonight. Then she blew you a kiss.
What do you think that means?
TOMMY
Could mean a lot of things.

his chest as if trying to one up his story. From afar,
shouts ensue.
WIFE BEATER
Nice diapers faggots.
Jack, Dublin and Sully rush to the decks edge. Two
meatheads stare over from across the street.
JACK
Keep walking, consider yourself
forewarned.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 78.
NO SHIRT
Bunch a dudes in diapers, yeah,
that aint gay.
JACK
Say one more word. I triple dog
dare you, dog!
WIFE BEATER
Nice diapers, you fags!
Dublin, Jack and Sully race down the stairs and across
Coastal Highway.
EXT. SIDEWALK - NIGHT
The meatheads wait for the boys. Dublin jumps and jacks a
stout, shirtless meathead in the face. He falls back, Dublin
knees him in the nuts and he goes down. Jack pulls the other
meathead by the wifebeater and head butts him in the chest.
He instantly goes down. The boys start kicking the
meatheads. All three wear diapers.
EXT. PINK PALACE - UNIT 4 - DECK - NIGHT
Three lifeguards hover over the decks edge and witness the
beatdown. One is very tall, muscular and in his late
twenties. He is SOUP. Another is short, fit and in his early
thirties. He is SHORTY. Another is short, 22 and wears a
cowboy hat. He is TIMMY.
SOUP
These kids, are outta there friggin

SHORTY
Perfect evening to dial up our boys

Mary and Tommy rip another round of shots. Mary hears a hot
new dance song, "Turn me On" by Kevin Little, blaring.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 79.
MARY
Oh my god, I loooove this song.
LIVING ROOM
Tommy and Mary dance in a crowded floor. He holds her hand
and swirls her around before pulling close for a little
"freak dancing". A tall, clean cut fella in Mardi Gras beads
and a diaper enters. He is OFFICER SAN LUIGI.
OFFICER SAN LUIGI
Anybody got a light for my cig?
Garfield lights his cig. Officer San Luigi surveys the
premises.
OFFICER SAN LUIGI
This partys bumpin.
John the Dude taps Samantha from behind.
SAMANTHA
What?
JOHN THE DUDE
You remind me of someone.
SAMANTHA
Please dont say your mother.
JOHN THE DUDE
How bout, the girl of my dreams?
SAMANTHA
Im gonna go get a beer. Please
stop following me.
Tommy and Marys dance gets increasingly erotic with
speedier and more close dry humping. Officer San Luigi nods
his head before making his decision to turn off the TV,
which is currently blaring rap music.
TOMMY
What the fuck?
DAVE
Who let this guy in?
Officer San Luigi pulls out his badge from his diaper.
OFFICER SAN LUIGI
Okay, Ocean City Police! Everybody,
IDs now!
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 80.
GARFIELD
Whos the funny guy thats gotta
bring in a fake police badge?
OFFICER SAN LUIGI
Officer Eli San Luigi, OCPD. IDs
now or youre all going to the big
house!
KITCHEN
Some guests try to run out of the side exit. Three officers
enter, tapping on their night sticks.
LIVING ROOM
Tommy tries to escape. Two officers enter, one is short and
butch. She is OFFICER CROWE. The other is feminine but male,
with an "emo" haircut. He is OFFICER BOYER.
OFFICER CROWE
Look what the cat dragged in.
OFFICER BOYER
Reeaaarr. Meow.
EXT. PINK PALACE - UNIT 3 - DECK
Tommy enters, holding his citation and approaches two
officers in their late thirties. One is short, Hispanic. He
is OFFICER GONZALEZ. The other is also tall and Aryan
featured. He is OFFICER SWEENEY.
TOMMY
Excuse me officers, do you think
youre doing the public a service
by fining legal adults for drinking
within the confines of their
residence?
OFFICER GONZALEZ
Watch your sarcasm, guy.
TOMMY
Its hard to watch it when its so
thinly veiled behind my words.
OFFICER SWEENEY
Listen chief, we got a house full
of underage drinkers. What do you
expect us to do really?
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 81.
OFFICER GONZALEZ
Confiscate the keg and say sionara?
TOMMY
If you did that it would be
hilarious but equally unjust.
OFFICER SWEENEY
Oh, we got a philosopher in the
house.
OFFICER GONZALEZ
Unpack that one for us, Socrates.
TOMMY
Yeah Im wondering whether we were
busted because we were an imminent
threat to society, drinking
peacefully within the confines of
our residence or (BEAT) cuz your
police force could use a little
easy revenue?
OFFICER SWEENEY
You wanna know why you got busted,
huh?
Tommy simulates thumbing a wad of cash.
OFFICER GONZALEZ
Plain and simple, you aint twenty
one, you aint drinkin.
TOMMY
Do you even know why the drinking
age is 21 or are you just blindly
enforcing it?
OFFICER SWEENEY
Cuz, cuz.
OFFICER GONZALEZ
Cuz youre parents voted on it!
TOMMY
No Congress did, under the premise
that it would significantly reduce
alcohol related traffic fatalities.
It hasnt, at least according to
the findings of the two most
longitudal, independent, federally
funded surveys on the subject and
nobody here is driving tonight
(MORE)
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 82.
TOMMY (contd)
anyway so youre not even enforcing
the spirit of an unjust law.
OFFICER GONZALEZ
Somebody tell this dweeb to cut it
out or hes goin to jail!
TOMMY
For what? Openly voicing my dissent
for local government? Its called
free speech!
INT. PINK PALACE - UNIT 3 - RUIT ROOM - NIGHT
Officer Crowe surveys the room and sees a crappy Fake ID of
Tommys plastered on the wall.
OFFICER CROWE
Looky, looky. What do we have here?
EXT. PINK PALACE - UNIT 3 - DECK - NIGHT
OFFICER GONZALEZ
No! The law is the law.
TOMMY
Thats a tautology, it essentially
says nothing. And an unjust law is
no law at all. Thomas Aquinas said
it best.
Officer Crowe enters, holding Tommys Fake ID.
OFFICER CROWE
Whos Francis?
Nobody answers.
OFFICER CROWE
Alright. Anybody got a Fake ID,
that says they Francis?
TOMMY
I have a novelty item that says my
name is Francis.
OFFICER CROWE
Oh, a Fake ID. Look whos racking
up the charges now.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 83.
TOMMY
What charges? I explicitly affirmed
it was a novelty item.
OFFICER GONZALEZ
So youre telling us its a Fake
ID?
TOMMY
No Im not. Its a novelty item, I
use it simply for novelty purposes.
I never used it to identify myself
nor conceded it was a Fake ID.
Therefore, you cannot charge me
with possession of a Fake ID. At
least, under Maryland law.
OFFICER GONZALEZ
Officer Crowe.
OFFICER CROWE
Yes Officer Gonzalez.
OFFICER GONZALEZ
Ive observed the gentleman in
question to be drunk and
disorderly. Hes been running his
mouth to us, all night long.
TOMMY
I barely even drank tonight you
fucking clowns. I had three shots,
thats it.
OFFICER CROWE
Well guess what Francis? Disorderly
conduct, in addition to underage
drinking, happens to be an
arrestable offense. At least, under
Maryland law. Book em boys.
The officers salivate as the approach Tommy with hand cuffs.
TOMMY
No. Nooo!
OFFICER GONZALEZ
Gotcha.
Tommy is cuffed and wrestled to the ground as he tries to
squirm out. Everyone screams out in protest as the other
officers hold the party back.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 84.
TOMMY
Injustice! Injustice! You are all
witnessing to injustice! A blind
abuse of power. A bruised ego into
a disorderly conduct charge. This
will not hold up in a court of law!
Tommy turns to see Mary enter the deck.
TOMMY
Wait for me. Wait for me when I get
on the outside, Mary. You said you
were gonna see me. You were gonna
see me! You said you were gonna see
me tonight!
Mary steps inside and swirls her hair behind her ear.
INT/EXT. OCPD CRUISER - NIGHT
Tommy turns around and watches a party returning inside as
hes taken further and further away from the Pink Palace.
EXT. BELLYSBUSTERS - DAY
Tommys roommates sit on a patio and crush Buffalo Chicken
subs. Kroos holds up his fresh alcohol citation.
KROOS
Two hundred fucking seventy five
dollars for drinking beer at my
house, Im gonna kill Fish.
GARFIELD
They were gonna write us up
regardless. I cant trust those
clowns.
DAVE
Yeah, but having a maniac raving on
our porch definitely sealed it.
KROOS
I work so hard, definitely work the
most in the house and kid does
nothing but scare the shit out of
everybody and get us busted.
GARFIELD
They saw blood and diapers, sent in
a sandshark. Went on a feeding
frenzy. Typical OCPD.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 85.
DAVE
Yeah the laws a business Snake,
the didnt teach you that at
Roajoke?
KROOS
I mean I took some business classes
but my mom, like helped me out with
some of the stuff.
GARFIELD
Of course she did.
Buffalo Chicken subs arrive. The conversation stops and
continues after a few bites.
DAVE
So whats going on tonight? Lax
bros, tennis hoes at Blackouts?
GARFIELD
Nah, thats tomorrow night.
KROOS
Thought it was Friday the 13th.
GARFIELD
Exactly.
KROOS
Well whats today?
GARFIELD
Thursday.
KROOS
Is it really?
DAVE
We should probably take it easy
tonight.
KROOS
So one keg?
GARFIELD
And a bottle of Alpenwolfe.
The boys all howl.
EXT. JAIL - DAY
Tommy exits in long jean shorts and a raggity T-Shirt. He
reads his police report and trashes it.

EXT. 41ST STREET - DAY
The light turns red and Tommy walks before the crosswalk,
lost in thought.
INT/EXT. BLUE BRONCO - DAY
A white rastafarian delivery driver blares reggae and pounds
on his dashboard, oblivious to the road. He sees Tommy way
too late, slams on the breaks but still hits him hard just
as Tommy turns to see him.
EXT. COASTAL HIGHWAY - DAY
Tommy gets decked by the Bronco, his sandals fly off and he
does a couple spins before he lands on the median strip. He
looks up, sees an old man with WWII tatoos looking back at
him and rises to his feet. Two teenagers approach.
VISOR
Yooo dude.
K COAST
Are you alright?
TOMMY
Im still kicking.
Tommy simulates a kick, then winces and limps further down
the median strip. The light turns green. The Delivery Driver
looks on, sees that Tommy is walking and takes off fast.
VISOR
You need a cigarette?
TOMMY
No, Im good.
Tommy twirls his gold chain.
K COAST
Are you a Christian?
TOMMY
No, Im a soccer player. Look it
up.

INT. PINK PALACE - UNIT 3 - LIVING ROOM - DUSK
Dave enters with a brown paper bag. Tommy is watching Step
by Step.
DAVE
Sup Fish?
TOMMY
Where yall been?
DAVE
The beach, Bellybusters, then
Lighthouse.
TOMMY
Thanks for picking me up from jail,
pal. Its not like I didnt have my
wallet or a bus pass and had to
walk home in jean shorts or
anything like that.
DAVE
Yeah we thought you could use the
walk.
TOMMY
So thats why you clicked my one
and only phone call from prison?
DAVE
We thought it would be good for you
to get some fresh air, blow off
some steam, reflect.
TOMMY
I got hit by a car.
DAVE
Buuuullshit.
TOMMY
Oh really?
Tommy slides down his red Adidas shorts to reveal a fresh,
gigantic bruise on the side of the ass.
DAVE
You got roughed up by some cops,
shut the fuck up.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 88.
TOMMY
Why dont you ask the Hungry Surfer
Delivery driver who hit me on 41st?
Or trust me, for once!
DAVE
Easy Fish.
TOMMY
Howd those Buffalo Chicken Subs
taste? Bet it tasted a lot better
then indefinite incarceration,
neglect and getting blindsided by a
Blue Bronco at 30 miles per hour.
DAVE
You were just really fired up last
night and we thought you needed
some time to chill. It was only
gonna be a couple of citations but
someone had to argue till he got
arrested.
Garfield and Kroos enter carrying a keg.
GARFIELD
Whats up Gandhi?
KROOS
Injustice! Injustice! Fuck you
Fish!
TOMMY
Sorry Im not sorry about last
night. I stood up for whats right!
DAVE
Right? Everything you do is right,
right? You were the only one that
thought that was right. Everyone
else just laughed at you.
TOMMY
Well clearly no ones a prophet in
his own village.
DAVE
What does that even mean? You spend
a night in jail and all of sudden
youre a prophet?
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 89.
TOMMY
All Im saying boyee is that nobody
understands me and thats not
because Im wrong. Its because
theyre blind!
DAVE
Do you realize how fucking arrogant
you sound? Maybe nobody understands
you because theyre not tweaking on
Crystal Meth.
TOMMY
No. Its because theyre not awake!
Tommy storms out of the kitchen and into his room.
EXT. PINK PALACE - UNIT 3 - DECK - NIGHT
Jack, Dave, Sully, and Garfield pass around a bottle of
Alpenwolfe. Jack takes a swig and fills up everybody elses
cups. Dave mixes Red Bull with the Alpenwolfe. The boys chug
their Alpenbombs and howl as Mary pulls up in front of the
house. She thinks theyre howling at her and waves before
she enters her house.
INT. PINK PALACE - UNIT 1 - KITCHEN - NIGHT
Mary enters tired, frustrated. Kristi reads "Fight Club" and
sips on some wine.
MARY
Seacrets owns my soul.
Mary slams a shot glass on the table.
MARY
Fill me up Coyote Ugly. I need a
stiff one.
The sisters sit and converse. Mary slugs a mixed drink.
KRISTI
So, you wishing you did Young Life?
MARY
Young Life wouldve been amazing
and this summers been really
crazy, but I wouldve had it any
other way.
Marys half way through another mixed drink.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 90.
MARY
These boys are driving me nuts
though.
Mary takes a big sip of her drink.
KRISTI
Boysll do that to you. I would
know. Fuck you, Conor! Cheers.
The girls touch glasses and Mary kills her drink.
MARY
Tom is like (BEAT) crazy now!
Mary takes a big gulp of her heavy glass of red wine.
KRISTI
Ive noticed. It actually feels
kinda familar, like something I
studied way back when, think it was
abnormal psych.
MARY
Shocker. And Jack...Jack is like
such an a-hole. But he was actually
really charming, before we started
knockin boots. Now Im just a
guaranteed, any time you need it,
piece of ass.
Mary chugs her wine and pours herself another glass.
KRISTI
Easy there killer.
MARY
Its been a long summer sister.
The girls touch glasses, Mary takes another heavy gulp.
MARY
This wine is fabulous.
Mary kills her glass.
MARY
More wine. (SPANISH)
Mary chugs the rest of the wine.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 91.
MARY
I need to get laid.
Mary scrolls through the contacts in her phone. Kristi makes
a maternalistic glare.
MARY
What?
KRISTI
You sure thats such a good idea?
MARY
Having multiples? No its a
terrible idea.
Mary stops at "Tom S", takes a quick pause then scrolls
further down as she rips at shot.
EXT. PINK PALACE - UNIT 3 - DECK - NIGHT
The boys continue to drink Alpenwolfe and bullshit. Jacks
phone beeps and he quickly checks it.
JACK
I knew that bitch still wanted it.
SULLY
Mindy?
GARFIELD
No, our favorite little Christian
neighbor.
Garfield points to the side of the house where Mary clumsily
sneaks around back.
SULLY
Hes still fucking her?
DAVE
Girls kind of a mess.
The boys chug their Alpenbombs and howl. Kara enters.
DAVE
Well this summers officially taken
ten years off my life. My liver and
kidneys are fucked.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 92.
SULLY
Ten at least. I havent shit solid
since May.
GARFIELD
Ive developed a stutter and it
could be ruit elbow but I
th-th-think I had a stroke.
Garfield holds up his crooked, shaky arm.
DAVE
I found this pretty lady though.
Dave waves Kara in, puts his arm around her and shares a
kiss. Kara sits down next to Dave. Garfield acts like a
reporter and holds an invisible microphone toward Dave.
GARFIELD
Whats the secret?
DAVE
The secret?
GARFIELD
Yeah, you guys seem to be madly in
love.
DAVE
We like having sex with each other.
Kara smacks Dave on the arm.
DAVE
I was raped last week.
(to Kara)
You remember?
KARA
I do. But technically its not rape
if you never got inside me.
Everyone "ooooohhhhs".
DAVE
I had whiskey dick.
Tommy enters.
TOMMY
Wheres Mary? (SPANISH)
(CONTINUED)

GARFIELD
What?
TOMMY
I see her cars here. Where she at?
KARA
I dont know. (SPANISH)
GARFIELD
Shes downstairs fucking Jack.
TOMMY
Unit, I know youre still mad at me
for last night but dont fool with

GARFIELD
Shes downstairs, getting railed
out, by your favorite wigger.
TOMMY
Dave, you seen Mary?
DAVE
Um, yeah.
TOMMY
Well whats she up to?
DAVE
What Unit said.
TOMMY
Ugh-Ugh. No way. Whos got another
tall tale for the Fish?
DAVE
Mary literally just sexted Jack and
we all definitely saw her sneaking
around the back way to his place. I
mean, they could be doing something
else.
Dave laughs sarcastically.
TOMMY
No. No! Fuck no!
GARFIELD
Yes. No bullshit.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 94.
KARA
Shes always had a weakness for bad
boys.
TOMMY
No. You guys are just fucking with
me! Stop it, its not funny. I hate
it!
DAVE
Cmon Fish, its us. You might not
realize it in the state youre in,
but were all your best friends and
we love you dude, we really do. We
would not make up something like
that just to fuck with you, even
though youve been acting like a
holier than thou assclown lately.
Embrace reality Fish, your queen,
likes to get down.
Every one nods in agreement.
TOMMY
No she doesnt. Shes a good girl,
hes a bad boy. Them doin the wild
thaaaang, defies all logical sense.
DAVE
Of course it does. Not everything
makes logical sense. Were primal
savages, primal fucking savages
when you really strip us down.
TOMMY
Shes at work. Yeah shes at work,
shes doing a double tonight.
GARFIELD
Yeah, on Jacks weiner.
DAVE
Seriously Fish, let me spare you
the suicide note. Were being real

Tommy surveys the crowd, sees honest eyes and head nods.
GARFIELD

TOMMY
No, no, no she aint. But Jack?
Tommy looks towards the heavens.
TOMMY
Why have you forsaken me!?!?
DAVE
Jacks an animal.
The boys all howl. A white escalade pulls up in front of the
palace. Remy, a preppy brunnete exits.
REMY
See ya bitch.
Kroos follows behind with Samantha. Her eyes are a little
teary and theyre both sandy.
Remy passes the boys on the deck.
REMY
Dont act like youre not
impressed.
INT. PINK PALACE - UNIT 3 - - NIGHT
Remy texts upon her entrance. She passes a familiar face.
REMY
Hey girl, hey.
A girl tries to speak to Remy and she tells her to "talk to
the hand" with her body language as she enters the
KITCHEN
Ally stands by the keg with a forlorn posture. Remy has her
phone to her ear.
JACK (O.S)
Hey you got Jack. Leave me a
message, I might you back.
REMY
Text me back ahole and dont click

your spleen. Im here. K bye.
Remy notices Ally staring a her.

ALLY

REMY
Maybe, why?
ALLY
Hes not your boyfriend is he?
REMY
No we just fuck when Im coked up

Germany or some shit.
ALLY
France.
REMY
Like it matters. (BEAT) Wait, why
did you ask me if I was his
girlfriend?
ALLY
Um.
REMY
Because you fucked him didnt you?
Ally blushes and turns away.
REMY
That slut, he told me I was the
only one he was fucking while Kiki

ALLY
OMG. He literally told me the same
exact thing.
REMY
Where is that manwhore? Cmon skank

REMY
Okay girly. Where he at?
ALLY

REMY

The girls storm out.
TOMMYS ROOM
Tommy has the craziest look in his eyes as he holds his
birthday card and walks in circles.
TOMMY
Hi Im Mary. I was gonna do Young
Life this summer but then God told
me to live down the beach and blow
a bunch of dudes instead.
Tommy shreds the card in half.
TOMMY
I have lots of favorite neighbors.
Tommy shreds the card in smaller pieces.
TOMMY
Hola Soup, youre looking pretty
muscular. Hey Kroos, can I see your
room? Leave in two minutes, meet me
around back. Got it Jack?
Tommy shreds the remaining pieces of the card and tosses the
debris in the air. One little sliver remains in his hand.
TOMMY
Well Tom, at this point in my life,

friend!
Tommy rips the sliver, tosses it and starts kicking the
debris.

The girls stand on a picnic table and peak inside.
REMY

DAVE
Tommy, youll always be our boy, no
matter how long it takes you to get
laid. Just come outside.
TOMMY
Nah, Im gonna stay here for
awhile. Got a little letter to
write.
DAVE
To whom?
TOMMY
To whom do you think?
DAVE
Fish, I really cant believe you
take that girl so seriously.
TOMMY
You dont take the people you love
seriously!?!?
DAVE
Fish, I understand youre upset
right now but laying around in a
pile of shredded paper, sulking to
yourself is the worst thing you
could possibly do about it. Besides
penning an erratic letter.
TOMMY
I dont care. Im doing it anyway.
Dave sits down with Tommy.
DAVE
You remember how I used to date
Ryleigh De Boer?
TOMMY
Of course. She was your Daisy dude.

DAVE
First love but a class above.
TOMMY
You never told me what happened.
DAVE
Another time, Fish. Another time.
Just know that it didnt end well
and I used to wake up every
morning, without exception, to her
face.
TOMMY
Sounds intense.
DAVE
It was intense. She fucking haunted
my dreams dude! But guess what?
TOMMY
You met Kara.
DAVE
Exactly. And she made me forgot all
about that Ryleigh De Boer bitch.
You might think youve got
everything figured out and your
futures gonna unfold exactly as
youre picturing it right now but
that delusion just prevents life
from being spontaneous and real.
Please get up and see whats going
down outside. Trust be bro, itll
raise you up.
Dave gets up and extends his hand. Tommy takes a pregnant
pause before grabbing Daves hand and getting up.
EXT. PINK PALACE - UNIT 3 - DECK - NIGHT

sidewalk.

and knocks on Jacks door are constant.
TOMMY
Dave, honest question.
DAVE
Yeah whats up, Fish?
TOMMY
Why do good girls like bad guys?
DAVE
I think its a lot more complex
than you think.
TOMMY
What do you mean?
DAVE
I mean, nobody pure good or bad or
anything else. All of us have a yin
and a yang, a light and a shadow.
And when a girls drunk and horny
guess what sides more persuasive?
EXT. PINK PALACE - UNIT 2 - PORCH - NIGHT
Remy bangs on Jacks door with a fierce, primal fury.
REMY

others pull her way.
REMY
Youre fucking trash. You should be
sterlized, you dick.
JACK

skuzzers.
Ally pulls Remy back.
ALLY

REMY
Fuck you manwhore. Look what you

JACK
Okay Watson. What? We got Watson

Ally and several others pull Remy away.

Tommy leans over the railing.
TOMMY
Hey manwhore, you know how youre

JACK
Yeah.

it speeds out)
Figure it out, deal with it!
TOMMY

Youre a walking STD, figure it

KROOS
Fiiiish.
Kroos turns around to see Mary walking out of the bedroom.
MARY
Tom hey, its not what it looks
like.
Tommy stares at Mary, dumfounded, as he takes another pull
of Alpenwolfe.
MARY
Seriously, its not what it looks
like.
TOMMY
If by it, you mean you.
MARY
Whaaaat?
TOMMY
Youre not what you look like.
MARY
What the fuck are you talking about
Tom?
TOMMY
You really want me to do this in
front of everybody? I kind of want
to turn the other cheek on this
(MORE)
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 130.
TOMMY (contd)
one, but if you wanna keep
pretending like youre an innocent
little angel.
MARY
Yeah, Im actually very curious.
How the fuck am I not what I look
like?
TOMMY
Sorry, cant do it. My mom told me
that if I didnt have anything nice
to say, then I shouldnt say it.
Therefore, I have nothing to say to
you.
Tommy takes another big swig of Alpenwolfe and passes it to
Garfield.
MARY
Reeeer. Someones clearly on their
period.
A round of lols ensues. Mary grabs a cup of Jungle Juice and
slays it.
MARY
Seriously, Tom. I wouldnt even
falaish you for charity.
TOMMY
You come across as this innocent
little lamb with your passion for
sick kids and that crucifix round
your neck. But really, underneath
all the reassuring smiles and Young
Life glow, youre a wolf! And all
that other stuff is a disguise you
use to appear innocent.
MARY
False.
TOMMY
Im honestly surprised you dont
have fangs right now.
MARY
Whaaat?
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 131.
TOMMY
Im honestly surprised you dont
have fangs because youre a wolf
and wolves have fangs. Especially
dirty sneaky little wolves who rip
out peoples hearts and slowly,
slowly nibble on them as they read
the Purpose Driven Life, one
chapter a day for forty days, fuck
you!
Garfield passes Tommy the bottle, he takes another pull. The
crowd watches in stone cold silence.
MARY
Tom, youre not being a good friend
right now.
TOMMY
Speak for yourself their pal.
Blowing Kroos, boning Jack all
summer in secret. With friends like
you, who needs friends?
MARY
Tom, nobodys perfect.
TOMMY
True, but only one person I know
keeps pretending like they are. You
got something on your lip.
Mary checks but nothing is there.
MARY
Fine, I just gave Kroos some dome.
And yeah, Jack and I were doin the
wild thaaang all summer long. What
are trying to tell me you dont
wanna marry me anymore?
TOMMY
Thats exactly what Im saying.
Tommy finishes off the bottle with a long pull.
MARY
(singing)
Hakuna Matata, what a wonderful
phrase. It means...
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 132.
TOMMY
I know exactly what it means and if
youre implying that, because I
just wrote you off Romantically,
youll never have another worry for
the rest of your days, Ill counter
with spare me!
MARY
Well certainly not having a raving
loony obsess over me is one less
thing.
TOMMY
Well if its any consolation,
youre the reason for that!
MARY
Really? Im the reason you lost
your mind. Read a fucking science
book, Tom. Youre bipolar.
Manic-depressive. Youll have to
take meds and be in the care of a
physician for the rest of your life
but the good news is, its
treatable.
TOMMY
The wound you left when you ripped
out my heart Kano style and filled
it with my best friends man juice
is certainly not treatable!
MARY
With God, all things are possible.
TOMMY
Youre really gonna play it like
that. Not sure why I feel
surprised. Well, in that case, I
think you and Rev Kev need to have
a long chat real soon.
MARY
Maybe we will and well even say a
special prayer for the healing of
the sick.
TOMMY
Yes. You and your pastor together,
saying a special prayer, just for
me. That would be sublime. Does he
know youre a wolf or does he have
wool over his eyes like I did?
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 133.
MARY
My pastor, knows that I love God.
Thats all that matters.
TOMMY
Only reason you love God, is
because he created weiners!

Everyone grins in anticipation as Tommy delivers a classic
inside joke.
TOMMY
Grease, sorry partner, youre on
the wrong flight. Grace, its
amazing but its not the ticket.
Everyone gets their giggles going.
TOMMY
Gross, do not pass go, do not
collect a hundred dollars. Grass,

repeats. He then zeroes in on Blane, nods his head and
points.

Tommy continues to do impressions, this time he improvises a
rap in the voice of their realtor, Kem. A feast of McDoogals
surrounds them.
GARFIELD
Can we have parties?
TOMMY
(Kem voice)
Party, Party, Party, party? I mean
you can have parties and stuff. And
when a third diamond hits the
river, you can go for the all-in
bluff. You can throw knucklers like
Hall of Famer, Charlie Hough. And
drink beers like you Homer Simpson
rock, rock rock in three cases of
Duff.
Giggles all around.
TOMMY
(Kem voice)
But my advice to you, if you really

have endless fun with your motley
ass crew. Dont have no beer cans

DEVIL JOHN

on his right shoulder.

Hands down, the worse decision of
your life.
DEVIL JOHN
Shes a big girl she can handle it.
ANGEL JOHN
You use that hand to help yourself
ejaculate, the Judge is gonna hand
you (BEAT) fifteen to life.
DEVIL JOHN
When God gives you a handout, you
take it! She wont know, shes not
even conscious.
ANGEL JOHN
A little moral fiber would sure
come in handy right now.
DEVIL JOHN
Ive gotta hand it to you, youre a
pussy.
John aggresively grabs her hand and puts it up to his
genitalia.

Dont bite the hand that feeds you.

youll have the upper hand.

MARY
Sure.
REV KEV
Go right ahead and do a little hop,
skip and a jump to the fortieth
day.
MARY
You sure I can do that?
REV KEV
Is Christ the only begotten son of
the Father? Was Judas a
traitor. Was Thomas a doubter?
Mary turns to Day 40 and begins reading. Rev Kev continues
to reel off questions.
REV KEV
Did Moses wander? Did Saul see the
light on his way to Damascus?
The text reads, "When God is not the center of your life,
you worry." Mary takes it in, nods, then continues. "When
God is the center of your life, you worship." She zeroes in
on the passage several times, an angelic chorus rings in her
ears.

GARFIELD

TOMMY
Nah, a little five act tragicomedy
about a dude that keeps getting

mind.
GARFIELD
And his roommate keeps most major
tobacco companies in business.
TOMMY
And this weird, older guy always
hangs out and creeps on chicks.
GARFIELD
And two of their friends fall madly
in love.
