The Boy through the backyard. There's a dude and a girl making out on the bar outside. They're sitting on the bar

       THE Don't sit on that
They look at him. He stares back. They get down. He walks away. They stare as he leaves. The Boy walks to the edge of the and looks at the ocean go into the sky

      KID IN A HAT (laughing/whisper): Hurry!

This kid in a hat and his friend are running out the front door with an iPad and a midi controller. The Boy walks inside. Marcus stops him. He's out of breath and wet

INT. FATHER'S - NIGHT

      BOY: Mmm-hmm
       VANESSA: Well, I to go out
       THE BOY ("no"):

Vanessa playfully throws things from the counter at him (toothbrush, cup, floss, soap). He throws some of it back. She starts laughing. He pulls her to the with him

      Why are you so moody?
       THE I'm not. Let me enjoy this for a second
       VANESSA: We can do outside, [EDIT]
       THE BOY: We could live the rest of our lives here. There's a TV in the mirror. fresh water every time we flush. I heard they're building a sandwich place in the shower

smh and smiles

       VANESSA: Get up. We're
       THE BOY: 'on-
       VANESSA: I it!

She pulls him up. She up the linen closet and pulls The Boy in
Coachella is the closet
There are people saying things, giving opinions, feeling interesting. Everyone has a purpose today. It's a great
The Boy chases after Vanessa and catches her. He carries her for like three steps, then they walk together, hands

      (CONT'D): We have to see everything together. I don't wanna split up this time. We each get to choose one band the other one can't make you see- (then) What's wrong?
      BOY (smh): ...
       VANESSA (disappointed): Really?...You're doing this to me? Right now?
       THE BOY: You don't this is a waste of our time?
       VANESSA: No, I don't think me and you together is a of time. That's what you think. And I'm tired of trying to convince you otherwise. At least be a man and break up with me instead of telling me I don't like you
       THE BOY: But you don't! You don't really like me. I look good when you scroll past me with the rest of your "I'm almost Vashtie" bullshit

[NO MOUTH

       VANESSA (teary whisper): so mean

       VANESSA: doesn't mean honest! Honest can mean mean. But only if you mean it
      BOY (so many "means"): Wait...the-
       VANESSA: I'm trying so hard with you. But I'm not gonna carry us. I won't waste your anymore

She starts walking away. Then she looks to the sky and shoots up like a rocket. She looks like a shooting star in the sky. Not a sound is heard this happens. They never see each other again

Then the come out
They're glowing blue. They're circling and they're talking music

      1: What'd you think of 2 Chainz' set?
       WOLF 2: It was fun. His live shows have gotten way better. I saw him last spring in Chicago
       WOLF WITH GLASSES: Have you heard that Roc Marciano album on vinyl? so good, man
       MESSY, BUT COOL WOLF: You guys, this is my fiance, another wolf. He or she works in a small music or graphic design for clothing or this app I'm building

They rip The Boy to shreds while they talk. everywhere. The Boy doesn't make a sound. Lets it happen

INT. BATHROOM -
The Boy he is pacing in the shower. He's been in there for a minute, cause the water is cold
He opens the door. The girls are gone. The small clock on the desk says "5:23 AM". There's also a note in lipstick on the mirror that says "YOUR FUCKED" (smh at the "your"). Probably Sasha. She's probably right

CUT TO:

INT. LIVING - NIGHT
The house totalled, just dirty. Empty cups, bottles, cigarette butts, etc. The Boy sees Steve and Swank passed out on the couch

       THE Let's go guys

EXT. MANSION -
Swank, Steve, and Fam are asleep in the car. The Boy sits in the driver's seat

       He out his phone and texts someone named NYALA: Im driving up now

...(that moment you know exactly what they're typing and how they doing it)
       She back: DONT

The Boy looks at this. Then starts up the car and turns on the radio and speeds out of the
A passes...
Then we see the girl that was in bed with Fam out in the Mansion doorway

       THAT GIRL FAM KNOWS FROM THAT ONE Fam?

EXT. I-5 - NIGHT/EARLY
Everyone's asleep in the car except The Boy who's driving (AJ is there too. They picked him up.). Lloyd's "Oakland" is playing on the radio. The Boy turns it up so he feels he's in a video. He pushes his seat back so he can lean

      Ow, ow!

He slammed Swanks knees.
The Boy speeds through the empty highway. It's really pretty. I'm not sure what those factories are in the middle of nowhere with all the lights on them. They're probably horrible for the earth, but they look magical at night. He passes one of those factories
There's a lot of rolling hills. Lotta farms. There's a slaughterhouse. Smells and looks grey and awful. All the cows look really sad. Maybe I'm just making sad. Maybe they're fine
Looking at the rows of criss-cross on farms as they pass
a billboard. It says: ROSCOE'S WETSUIT
The Boy stares at it. Just a billboard with "roscoe's wetsuit" on it

EXT. MIDDLE OF NOWHERE - DAY
The guys are on their car, eating burgers at the far end of the parking lot
As The Boy bites into his double-double he about the slaughterhouse. Then he looks at his burger. He laughs
Two women walk out. look like they're in their late 30s. Swank spots em. One of the women is wearing a Northwestern hoodie

       SWANK (re: hoodie): way from Chicago
       WOMAN 1:
       SWANK: There's no way. You can't be over

The women just smirk and close their doors. drive off

       SWANK (CONT'D): See Johnny Appleseed of confidence, man. Just leaving little seeds with everyone
A car crazily pulls up next to the In-N-Out. Two dudes out with masks and guns

       FAM:

They run inside. We see people running in their cars, and driving off. All of our guys stay seated on their car. Just
A minute goes by. No gun shots. Just
The two dudes run out. Just as they do, you can hear the police

       ROBBERY 1: MOVE, RYAN!
       AJ: This nigga's using his name. Treated
       STEVE: Could be a code
       AJ: That's definitely his real name. No one's robbery is "Ryan". It's something like..."Snake-Man"

They all a face

       AJ (CONT'D): ya'll. I wouldn't rob a place with ya'll pussy ass anyway

The Police roll up. Ryan tries to get away, but pin him. The other dude shoots at the cop

       FAM: We should leave. They're at the cops. Which means the other cops coming give a fuck 'bout bystanders now
       MARCUS (in anchorman voice): Two men were arrested in an attempted robbery at an In-N-Out burger today. (mumbling) Also some niggers up dead, we don't know. This is news, people!
       STEVE: After being frisked, the dead suspects somehow got guns and shot themselves in the head even though they were and in the back of a tiny-ass squad car
       THE BOY: Police chief states: "no needed"
       STEVE: "White still safe!"

They laugh. As they start to off

Suddenly two cop cars screech in of them

      1: HANDS IN THE AIR!
      Fuck

All of the put their hands up

CUT TO:

EXT. STREET - DAY
Everyone looks a little bummed. Silence. silence

       THE BOY: here

pull over to a row of brownstones

      Great. Why are we where is this?

The Boy gets out of the car and walks up to the door. As he's about to knock, the door opens. Nyla is standing there. Her face is a mix of anger and strange sympathy. Like she refused to cry like...an hour

       THE BOY:
       NYLA: There's a point you reach when you're no longer to feel like you did. Not about a person, not with a certain place, you just can't feel like you did because that muscle or whatever is just...dead. Or gone
       THE BOY: Hi,
       NYLA: When you're alone, you might be able to remember it. You might even hear a song that you question it. But you don't have it. It doesn't exist anymore. It's dead. Do you understand?
       THE BOY: Yes. Absolutely. But
       NYLA: I AM AT POINT, [EDIT]

Tears. She's not crying. She's just mad
A dude pokes his head out from the hallway in the brownstone. The Boy and him eye contact

       THE BOY: This isn't what you think it is. I didn't come to...look, I saw this dude die and-
       NYLA: And scared. So you came here
       THE BOY: I'm not scared. I wanna be with someone who knows me for a little
      I don't know you. We're not together. I have company. Go home
       THE BOY: Okay, you're mean now
       NYLA: "Mean?" Who You're an adult. Also, you embarrassed me
       THE BOY (to the dude in the hallway): We were planning on having a kid together. She offered and we had a whole plan. Like adults or something. Then I backed out. So... (then) second at best is what I'm saying

The guy goes -__- EYE EMOJI]

       NYLA: What is wrong you?
       THE BOY: I know
       NYLA: Me

This is really sad for both of em. They really wanna know. Nyla the door

       NYLA (CONT'D through the door): Please up
The Boy stands there...then Swank walks up to him on the stoop of the
       SWANK: Can I use her bathroom? That double-double's makin

The Boy walks away and gets in the car. Swank there for a moment. Then tries to cut off a fart with his hand as he walks to the car

But behind her, there's a guy in a colorful faux 90's hat. He's writing something on the wall in sharpie

INT. LOBBY - NIGHT
The guys walk in the lobby. There's an Indian wedding happening. They're not called Indian weddings. It's probably just a wedding, but all the people participating happen to be Indian. There's a bunch of guys talking and quietly laughing in the hall. The door to the banquet room is open as they pass. The Boy stops. The bride and groom are slow dancing. The Bride is quite pretty. Green eyes and dark skin. She's got the aura of a business woman. Probably met him at Stanford and was like "this is reliable". The groom looks like a caricature of a good ol' fashion white dude

      Good for him
       SWANK: Nah. He don't get any interracial points. He's just doing what white guys been doing since forever. what he wants
       AJ: Really? that?

The lights are low. Most of the people have gotten up to pee or something. The Boy just stares at the couple. Then he decides to start recording. A man up to him

       OLDER DUDE:Who are you here with?
       THE BOY (not up from his phone): The groom. We went to college together
       OLDER INDIAN Oh. (then) Nice isn't it?
      BOY (sincere): Beautiful
      INDIAN DUDE: When the buddies start getting married, that means you're next
       THE BOY: I think so
       OLDER DUDE: That's what everyone says. That's what I said thirty years ago
       THE BOY: I believe in marriage. (then) Maybe that's not true. But I am against it
       OLDER INDIAN DUDE: do you believe in?
       THE BOY: Cool mamas
       OLDER INDIAN DUDE: Ahhhhh. But how many women you know are interested in concept?
       THE BOY: More than you'd think. I find if you a job and are actually interested in raising a child, women, who are a little older, tend to be responsive. I just don't think they like being labeled that. (then) Do you get tired of it?
       OLDER INDIAN DUDE: Of
      BOY: Of marriage. Of her. Of yourself

He

       OLDER INDIAN DUDE: Yes.
       THE BOY: why?
       OLDER INDIAN DUDE: I had to man-up. It was time. I regret it
       THE BOY: Well I don't have to man-up. I did what I'm supposed to do. I found the things I'm at. I didn't get anyone pregnant on the way there. And I've had mature relationships that prepared me for what marriage is
       OLDER INDIAN DUDE: relationships?
       THE BOY: Yeah. I in touch with all my exes. We're all friends
       OLDER INDIAN DUDE: You still call

       OLDER INDIAN (CONT'D): What do you do?
       THE BOY: I troll celebrities, politicians, or anyone with large enough online cache until I get a response. I post those responses and/or convos on my blog. And I charge gossip blogs and to advertise on my site and sometimes me and my friend put out novelty books of fucked up things we find online while digging up dirt on said celebrities and/ or politicians and sell it to niche book stores or larger stores that fit our aesthetic

The man stares, not understanding

       THE BOY (CONT'D): How old are
       OLDER DUDE: Fifty-three
       THE I'm like Bill O'Reilly
       OLDER INDIAN Oh

The older man leaves. A shlubby man in a suit comes to the podium in front. People clap for the end of the

       MAN IN SUIT: I've Safia and Greg since college and I honestly knew this day would happen since we were getting high in my dorm room junior year at GW. (to mom) Sorry Mrs. Healey, Greg smokes weed. You gotta deal!

claps

*******[PLAY SONG "3005" AT POINT]*******

Little creatures slowly start to march out from the kitchen. Some have banners that say "HAPPY MARRIAGE!". Some have sparklers. They all bounce on beat. It's cute for a very moment. Then it feels wrong
All the creatures have two legs, two arms, like humans. But they are definitely not humans. One of the giveaways being that they are naked, but don't seem to genitals
All the creatures are breathing heavy out mouths (their noses being two tiny slits probably don't allow for heavy air traffic)
They're about three feet high. Their eyes are larger than they should be and are spread farther on their faces. They don't have hair anywhere on their bodies. They all have forced smiles on their faces. You can see their teeth are just a little too sharp when they smile. Insinuating carnivorous behavior. If they wanted to, at any point they could jump on you and rip out throat in .8 seconds. But they're not right now. They're marching
One of the creatures has tears in its eyes. smiling tho. Pushing the smile
Everyone is smiling as they march past, but they're all very cautious. Clearly worried that one may attack. The Boy watches as the creatures reach the front of the party and form a circle. They do this weird clapping, almost step routine, then stop. The music stops

      1: We did it!
      2: Yay!

Everyone claps. The bride and groom force a smile. The creatures slowly make their way back to the kitchen. All that's heard is their struggled breathing and clammy skin hitting the dance floor. One stares at The Boy as he (or she) leaves

...that was unacceptable. UNNACCEPTABLE!]
