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

       VANESSA: Why are you so
      BOY: 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. There's fresh water every time we flush. I they're building a sandwich place in the shower

She pulls him up. She up the linen closet and pulls The Boy in
Coachella is the closet

The Boy chases after Vanessa and catches her. He carries her for like three steps, they walk together, holding hands

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

[NO EMOJI]

       VANESSA (teary whisper): You're so

       THE BOY (so "means"): Wait...the-
       VANESSA: I'm trying so hard with you. But I'm not carry us. I won't waste your time anymore

She starts 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 while this happens. They never see each other again

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

       WOLF 1: 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 on vinyl? It's 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 niche clothing or app I'm building

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

INT. BATHROOM -
The Boy realizes he is pacing in the shower. He's 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. ROOM - NIGHT
The house isn't totalled, just dirty. Empty cups, bottles, butts, etc. The Boy sees Steve and Swank passed out on the couch

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

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

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

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

       THAT FAM KNOWS FROM THAT ONE PLACE: Fam?

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 feels like he's in a video. He pushes his 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 those factories are in the middle of nowhere with all the lights on them. They're 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. Maybe I'm just making them sad. they're fine
at the rows of crops criss-cross on farms as they pass
There's a billboard. It says: WETSUIT
The Boy stares at it. Just a white billboard "roscoe's wetsuit" on it

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

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

The women just smirk and close their doors. They off

A car crazily pulls up next to the In-N-Out. Two jump out with masks and guns

       FAM:

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

       ROBBERY 1: MOVE, RYAN!
       AJ: This using his real name. Treated
      Could be a code name
       AJ: That's 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 roll up. Ryan tries 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 other cops coming 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 ended up dead, we don't know. This is news, people!
       STEVE: After being frisked, the suspects somehow got guns and shot themselves in the head even though they were handcuffed and in the back of a tiny-ass squad car
       THE BOY: chief states: "no investigation needed"
       STEVE: "White still safe!"

They laugh. As they to drive off

Suddenly two cop screech in front of them

      1: HANDS IN THE AIR!

They pull over to a row of

      Great. Why are we where is this?

The Boy gets out of the car and walks up to the door. As he's 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 ago?

       THE BOY:
       NYLA: There's a point you reach 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 BOY: Hi,
       NYLA: When you're alone, you might be able to remember it. You might even hear a song makes you question it. But you don't have it. It doesn't exist anymore. It's dead. Do you understand?
      BOY: Yes. Absolutely. But Nyla-
      I AM AT THAT POINT, [EDIT]

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

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

INT. HOTEL LOBBY -
The walk in the lobby. There's an Indian wedding happening. They're probably 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 points. He's just doing what white guys been doing since forever. Exactly what he wants
      Really? Like that?

       THE BOY: Cool mamas
       OLDER INDIAN DUDE: Ahhhhh. But how many women you know are interested in your
       THE BOY: More than you'd think. I find if you have 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 being labeled that. (then) Do you get tired of it?

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 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

      BOY (CONT'D): How old are you?
       OLDER INDIAN DUDE:
      BOY: I'm like Bill O'Reilly

Everyone

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

Little creatures slowly start to march out from the kitchen. have banners that say "HAPPY MARRIAGE!". Some have sparklers. They all bounce 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 are definitely not humans. One of the giveaways being that they are naked, but don't seem to have genitals
All the creatures are breathing heavy out their mouths (their noses being two tiny slits probably don't allow for 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 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. They're marching
One of the creatures has tears in its eyes. Still smiling tho. 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 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 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 wooden dance floor. One stares at The Boy as he (or she) leaves

...that was unacceptable. UNNACCEPTABLE!]
