They're glowing blue. They're circling and they're talking about

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

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

...(that moment you know exactly what typing and how they look doing it)
       She writes back:

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

       THAT GIRL FAM KNOWS FROM THAT ONE PLACE:

EXT. I-5 - MORNING
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 like he's in a video. He pushes his seat back so he can lean

      Ow, ow!

He Swanks knees. Sorry
The Boy speeds through the empty highway. It's really pretty. I'm not sure what factories are in the middle of nowhere with all the lights on them. They're probably horrible for the earth, but they look really 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. I'm just making them sad. Maybe they're fine
Looking at the rows of crops criss-cross on farms as pass
There's a billboard. It says: ROSCOE'S
The Boy stares at it. a white 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 his double-double he thinks about the slaughterhouse. Then he looks at his burger. He laughs
Two women walk out. They like they're in their late 30s. Swank spots em. One of the women is wearing a Northwestern hoodie

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

The women just smirk and close their doors. They off

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

       FAM:

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

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

all make a face

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

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

       FAM: We should leave. They're shooting at the cops. Which means the 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 niggers ended 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 handcuffed and in the back of a tiny-ass squad car
       THE BOY: Police chief states: "no needed"
       STEVE: "White still safe!"

They laugh. As start to drive off

two cop cars screech in front of them

       COP 1: IN THE AIR!
      Fuck

All of the guys put their up

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

       THE BOY: here

They pull to a row of brownstones

       MARCUS: Great. Why are we 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. she refused to cry like...an hour ago?

       THE Hey-
       NYLA: a point you reach when you're no longer able 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 Hi, Nyla
       NYLA: When you're alone, you might be able to remember it. You even hear a song that makes you question it. But you don't have it. It doesn't exist anymore. It's dead. Do you understand?
       THE Yes. Absolutely. But Nyla-
      I AM AT THAT 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 make eye

      BOY: This isn't what you think it is. I didn't come here to...look, I saw this dude die and-
       NYLA: And you're scared. So you came
       THE BOY: I'm not scared. I just be with someone who knows me for a little
       NYLA: I don't you. We're not together. I have company. Go home
       THE BOY: Okay, you're mean now
      "Mean?" Who cares? 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 out. So... (then) You're second at best is what I'm saying

The guy goes -__- EYE EMOJI]

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

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

       STEVE: The argument is that we've been given the freewill and understanding of life. So we shouldn't because the is there for us
       SWANK: Man, in Nigeria they made me AND my little brother slaughter a goat. We raised that goat, man. I loved that fucking goat. And one day we came from school and they just handed us the knife. I've seen the blood man. I've heard the screams. I still ate the shit though

FAM: Nah man. is our first time together in Oakland

The Boy stops listening. Across the way there's a group of kids eating in a booth. They're laughing and talking behind the back of a friend they seem to like very much. One of the girls is going in. But behind her, there's a guy in a colorful faux 90's hat. He's writing something on the wall in sharpie
writing "roscoe's wetsuit"
The Boy up and walks over

INT. HOTEL - NIGHT
The guys walk in the lobby. There's an Indian wedding happening. They're probably not called Indian weddings. It's probably 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

       STEVE: for him
      Nah. He don't get any interracial points. He's just doing what white guys been doing since forever. Exactly what he wants
       AJ: Really? that?
       SWANK: Man, I used to get so pissed when girls watch Boy Meets World and be like "Ryder Strong's so dope for having a black girlfriend". Man, fuck that nigga
       AJ: Come on, man. My dad's white and his parents like my mom. They just started talking again

       OLDER DUDE: What do you believe in?
       THE BOY: Cool baby
       OLDER DUDE: Ahhhhh. But how many women you know are interested in your concept?
       THE BOY: More than you'd think. I find if you have a job and are actually interested in 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 Of marriage?
       THE Of marriage. Of her. Of yourself

He

      INDIAN DUDE: Yes. Sometimes
       THE BOY: why?
       OLDER DUDE: I had to man-up. It was time. I don't regret it

       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 advertisers to advertise on my site and sometimes me and my friend put out novelty books of fucked up things we find online while up dirt on said celebrities and/ or politicians and sell it to niche book stores or larger stores that fit our aesthetic

The man just stares, not

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

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

       MAN IN SUIT: I've known 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 weed. You gotta deal!

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

Little creatures slowly start to march out from the kitchen. Some have banners that say "HAPPY MARRIAGE!". Some have sparklers. They all on beat. It's cute for a very short 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 are naked, but don't seem to have genitals
All the creatures are breathing heavy out their (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 your throat in .8 seconds. But they're not right now. marching
One of the has tears in its eyes. Still smiling tho. Pushing the smile
Everyone is 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 team 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 breathing and clammy skin hitting the wooden dance floor. One stares at The Boy as he (or she) leaves

...that was unacceptable. UNNACCEPTABLE!]
