EXT. BUS STOP – AFTERNOON
Three YOUTHS are playing hackysack. They are each aged 17. As they kick the sack around, missing and having to restart every now and then, they appear to be having fun. After an extended run of successful kicks, the sack drops.
BOY #1
Hack it up, bitch.
One of the other youths sets the sack on his foot and puts it back in to play.
BOY #2
Yo!
Another successful round is building when Boy #1 misses an easy shot due to taking his eyes off the sack. They are gazing away, watching something.
BOY #3
Come on, man! That was too easy!
BOY #2
Yeah, dude.
Boy #1 doesn’t acknowledge these words, and eventually his two friends turn to see what he is staring it.
ANGLE – ACROSS THE ROAD
DAVY COLLIS walks down the street slowly, pushing a wheelbarrow. Inside the wheelbarrow rests the extremely large crotch of his pants. It appears that he is wheeling his testicles around.
ANGLE – BUS STOP
The three youths stare bitterly.
BOY #1
Davy Collis.
Boy #2 shakes his head.
BOY #2
I hate that motherfucker.
ANGLE – ACROSS THE ROAD
Davy Collis walks somewhat uncomfortably.
BOY #1 (O.S)
Who the fuck does he think he is?
Walking around with that despondent
look on his face. Prick.
ANGLE – BUS STOP
BOY #3
He’s not that bad.
Boy #1 and #2 turn to #3 angrily.
BOY #1
Fuck off! Look at him. He’s the luckiest
guy in the world and all he does is mope
around. Look at those balls. I’d kill for them!
BOY #2
Yeah. The bastard’s been given a gift and
he tries to act like some kind of outcast.
What’s his deal?
Boy #3 shrugs.
BOY #3
Maybe he’s embarrassed?
Boy #1 scoffs.
BOY #1
Embarrassed? Don’t be an idiot.
Those things are like a free ticket into
any girl he wants. Chicks love a big
package. It’s their nectar.
BOY #2
Just imagine the possibilities those balls
have opened up to him. Imagine the life
he must lead!
EXT. POOL – DAY (IMAGINATION)
Davy Collis lays back, only wearing boardies (with GIANT crotch) on a deck chair beside a pool. He is with two GIRLS who sit either side of him. LEFT GIRL rubs her hand gently over his chest.
LEFT GIRL
You’re so incredible, Davy Collis.
CU on RIGHT GIRL as she leans over to him and whispers.
RIGHT GIRL
The testicles are my nectar.
Davy smiles smugly.
DAVY
I am one magnificent specimen.
The girls giggle.
RIGHT GIRL / LEFT GIRL
You sure are, Davy!
They kiss him on either cheek and then rest their heads on his chest, fondling the crotch of his boardies in wonderment.
VOICE (O.S)
Is that Davy Collis?
Davy turns his head slightly as a DIRECTOR in a beret, wearing an unbottoned shirt and tropical patterned boardies enters, smoking a cigar. He takes the cigar out of his mouth after a puff.
DIRECTOR
Davy, Davy! I’m a big, famous director.
I make porno films.
Davy smiles smugly again.
DAVY
Go on.
DIRECTOR
I’ve been looking for a male lead for my
new film ‘SUDDENLY DIRTY’. It’s about
a thirteen year old girl who wishes to be an
adult and then wakes up as a heroin addicted
prostitute.
DAVY
Sounds hilarious.
DIRECTOR
Oh, it is! And we’ve already got Lucy Liu
to play the role of the hooker. (chuckles)
Charlie’s Angels bitch really likes to get down.
Davy considers for a moment. He looks down to the two girls.
DAVY
What do you think I should do, floozies?
They both look up.
LEFT GIRL / RIGHT GIRL
Us, Davy!
Davy laughs.
DAVY
Oh, girls. You’re a riot. (turns to Man)
Consider me a part of the project.
The director smiles broadly.
DIRECTOR
Fantastic. Here’s an advance on your payment.
The man nonchalantly hands Davy hundreds of dollars.
MAN
I’ll tell Lucy to practice with watermellons.
All four in the scene laugh triumphantly.
EXT. BUS STOP – DAY (BACK TO PRESENT)
Boy #2 shakes his head again.
BOY #2
I can’t stand it. We have to do something.
Boy #3 sighs.
BOY #1
I already have an idea.
Boy #3 groans.
BOY #3
Can’t we just let him live in peace?
The other two boys laugh contemptuously.
BOY #2
Are you a pacifist or something?
BOY #3
No, but…
BOY #1
(interrupting)
Shut up. Remember what happened last time
you tried to fight us on something.
EXT. HOUSE – DAY (FLASHBACK)
Boy #3 puts his key in the lock and opens the door. He goes to enter.
INT. HOUSE – DAY
Boy #3 closes the door behind him.
BOY #3
Mum, Dad, I’m home.
There is no response. Boy #3 wanders into a hallway.
BOY #3
Mum…Dad…
INT. KITCHEN – DAY
CU from front on of Boy #3 as he enters the kitchen. His face turns aghast.
BOY #3
Oh my God!
He drops to his knees, tears welling.
CUT to a fuller shot of the kitchen. We see a MAN and WOMAN in their forties laying dead on the floor, blood pooled under them.
BOY #3
No! Please… NO!
EXT. BUS STOP – DAY (BACK TO PRESENT)
The boys stand in their previous poses.
BOY #3
Yeah. I remember.
Boy #1 grins evily.
BOY #1
Good. Then just shut your mouth and
follow my lead.
Boy #1 faces Davy again.
ANGLE – ACROSS THE ROAD
Davy is still walking along, slowly.
ANGLE – BUS STOP
MCU of Boy #1.
BOY #1
You’re going down, Davy Collis.
Boy #1 spits. PAN to MCU of Boy #2.
BOY #2
Time to take out the trash.
Boy #2 spits. PAN to MCU of Boy #3. He does nothing. CUT to full shot of the group. Boy #1 and #2 glare at #3. He notices and is startled.
BOY #3
Oh! History shows us again and again
that nature points out the folly of man.
The other two continue glaring. Boy #3 eventually remembers that he has to spit and does so. Boy #2 turns to Boy #1 who shrugs.
BOY #1
It’ll have to do for now. Regardless, let’s
get Collis!
ANGLE – ACROSS THE ROAD
A front on view as Davy Collis walks down the street. Suddenly, from either side of him comes Boy #2 and #3. They each grab an arm and force him to stop. A shadow forms in over Davy.
BOY #1 (O.S)
Hello, Davy.
Davy is panicked, trying to break free.
DAVY
What’s going on?
CU of Boy #1 again grinning evily.
BOY #1
We’re here to take care of a little problem
that has been bugging us.
Boy #1’s eyes gaze down to the wheelbarrow. MCU of Boy #1 reveals that he is carrying a baseball bat. He raises it wildly in preparation for the big hit.
CUT to shot of Davy, still being held, frantic. Boy #3 is squinting and #2 has a crazed look of excitement in his eyes.
DAVY
Oh, God, please! No! Don’t!
Davy is screaming as we CUT to a shot of Boy #1, still holding the bat up. Several times it looks as if he might swing, but he doesn’t. CUT to shot of Davy and the other boys.
BOY #2
Do it! Do it!
Boy #3 turns and offers a look of disgust at #2 which goes unnoticed. Davy is increasingly frantic but it is hopeless. He is trapped.
DAVY
No! Please!
CU of Boy #1’s grin. CU of the hands around the bat. CUT to a side-on shot of the scene as Boy #1 brings the bat down hard on the crotch section within the wheelbarrow. Davy screams in apparent agony.
CUT to shot of the wheelbarrow, the crotch now empty and wet. Water begins pooling.
CUT to shot of Boy #1.
BOY #1
What the?
CUT to shot of Davy and the other two boys. They look over his shoulders at the wheelbarrow, confused.
BOY #2
They weren’t even real balls!
Boy #3 is relieved. He smiles.
BOY #3
They were water balloons!
CUT to side on shot of the scene as the three boys laugh hysterically. Davy looks at the wheelbarrow, despondently.
ANGLE – BUS STOP
The three boys sit at the stop with Davy sitting on the end.
BOY #2
So why on Earth did you do it?
BOY #3
Was it for attention?
BOY #1
For fame?
Davy shakes his head.
DAVY
Neither. (pause) It was to distract everyone
from my small ears.
BOY #2
Your small ears?
The three boys look at his ear as he gazes downward.
BOY #1
Oh yeah. (chuckles) They are kinda small.
The three boys share a chuckle that Davy eventually joins in on. After a few moments, Boy #2 sighs happily.
BOY #2
What a crazy adventure.
