The Boy lies, to his side, on his bed, looking at the ceiling

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 BOY: I'm not. Let me enjoy this for a
       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 time we flush. I heard they're building a sandwich place in the shower

Vanessa smh and

      BOY: Come 'on-
       VANESSA: I it!

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

There are people saying things, giving opinions, feeling interesting. Everyone has a purpose today. It's a time
The Boy chases after Vanessa and catches her. He carries her for like three steps, then 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 other one can't make you see- (then) What's

       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 with me 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

       THE BOY (so "means"): Wait...the-
      I'm trying so hard with you. But I'm not gonna 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 coyotes out
They're glowing blue. They're circling and they're talking about

       WOLF 1: What'd you 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 that Roc Marciano album on vinyl? It's so good, man
       MESSY, BUT COOL You guys, this is my fiance, another wolf. He or she works in a small music or graphic design for niche clothing or this app I'm building

They rip The Boy to shreds while they talk. Blood everywhere. The Boy make a sound. Lets it happen

INT. - NIGHT
The Boy realizes he is pacing in the shower. He's been in there for a minute, 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 written in on the mirror that says "YOUR FUCKED" (smh at the "your"). Probably Sasha. She's probably right

CUT TO:

INT. LIVING - NIGHT
The isn't totalled, just dirty. Empty cups, bottles, cigarette 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 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 they're and how they look doing it)
      writes back: DONT

The Boy looks at this. 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 - 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 like he's in a video. He his seat back so he can lean

      Ow, ow!

He slammed Swanks knees.
The Boy speeds through the 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 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 grey and awful. All the cows look really sad. Maybe I'm just making them sad. Maybe they're fine
Looking at the rows of crops criss-cross on farms as they
There's a billboard. It ROSCOE'S WETSUIT
The Boy stares at it. Just a white billboard "roscoe's wetsuit" on it

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

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

The women just smirk and close their doors. They 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 jump out with masks and

      Daaammmmnnn

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. yelling
The two dudes run out. Just as they do, you can the police coming

      DUDE 1: MOVE, RYAN!
       AJ: This nigga's his real name. Treated
       STEVE: be a code name
      That's definitely his real name. No one's robbery name 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 they pin him. The other 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 some ended up dead, we don't know. This is news, people!
       STEVE: being frisked, the dead 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: Police states: "no investigation needed"
       STEVE: "White still safe!"

Suddenly two cop screech in front of them

They pull over to a row of

       MARCUS: Great. Why are we where is

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 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 is just...dead. Or gone
       THE BOY: Hi,
      When you're alone, you might be able to remember it. You might 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 BOY: Yes. Absolutely. But
       NYLA: I AM AT POINT, [EDIT]

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

       THE BOY: This isn't what you think it is. I didn't here to...look, I saw this dude die and-
       NYLA: And you're scared. So you came

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. HOTEL LOBBY -
The guys 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 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 would watch Boy Meets World and be like "Ryder Strong's so dope for having a black girlfriend". Man, that nigga
       AJ: Come on, man. My dad's white and his parents like my mom. They just started talking again

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

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

He

       OLDER INDIAN Yes. Sometimes
       THE BOY: why?
      INDIAN DUDE: I had to man-up. It was time. I don't 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 good at. I get anyone pregnant on the way there. And I've had mature relationships that prepared me for what marriage is
       OLDER INDIAN Mature relationships?
       THE Yeah. I keep in touch with all my exes. We're all friends
       OLDER INDIAN You still call them
       THE BOY: I em a happy birthday text or DM 'em
       OLDER DUDE: That's not a friend. I do that with my boss. And I hate my boss. (to himself) Fuckin Korean kid thinks he know everything

       OLDER DUDE (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 digging up dirt on said 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
       OLDER INDIAN Fifty-three
       THE BOY: I'm like Bill
      INDIAN DUDE: Oh

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

       MAN IN SUIT: I've known Safia and Greg since college and I honestly knew this day 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!

Everyone

       MAN IN SUIT (CONT'D): But honestly, may you two spend the rest of your healthy and happy

"Awwww"

       MAN IN SUIT (CONT'D): And now, the traditional "march to forever" to bless the bride and groom with happiness for all days to come

claps

*******[PLAY SONG "3005" AT THIS

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 short moment. Then it feels
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 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 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. They're marching
One of the has tears in its eyes. Still 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 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 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!]
