****[PLAY "PLAYING BEFORE THE PARTY STARTS" NOW]****
INT. - NIGHT
The Boy sits at his piano; playing randomly, trying to make sense of everything/anything. and Swank talk to Emily and MISLA in the kitchen. They're arguing about driving, or cooking with coconut oil instead of olive oil, or something else they themselves will not care about or remember in a month, year, ten years, 100 years, the age of the universe The house is starting to look pretty bad. The cleaners that used to come stopped receiving their payment and stopped coming. Plastic cups are starting to spread like a blue rash the living room and coffee tables. Every surface has a sticky spot. You used to be able to slide into the kitchen from the living room with a two second run and quick stop. Now, dried alcohol stops you before you even get to the kitchen door. The Boy really loved sliding into the kitchen when he was a kid. It was the closest you could get to having powers
*******[PLAY SONG "THE PARTY" AT POINT]*******
Minutes go by. People to crowd around The Boy as he continues on piano. So many people he can't think Fam daps up a kid as he walks in. They then walk over to a closet where Fam opens up a pantry of weed. It's not rap video stocked with weed, but there's a lot of weed in there. Fam tosses an ounce of weed at the kid. The kid and his friend smell it and nod. They look to Fam to share a smile of like "good shit, right?", but Fam isn't there for em. Fam gives em the "where's my money you privileged ass-hole" look. They pull out some hundreds Misla is sitting knees to with a french dude in the center of the pool table. They're eating s'mores Emily and Steve are jumping over the fire pit idiots There are people saying things, opinions, feeling interesting. Everyone has a purpose tonight. It's a great time But ...this is a
BOY: Get ...of
THE BOY (CONT'D): Out.
No one can him. It's a party
THE BOY (CONT'D): Everyone to get out. NOW!
start to notice. The Boy gets up from the piano and grabs a pool stick. He quickly walks over to the ipod dock playing music and winds up like it's a bat Everyone
2: That's my phone, nigga!
The Boy looks up. There's a deep inhale, then he starts smashing everything. Glass everywhere, alcohol splashes, people start running out SOME 2: Worldstar!
The Boy continues hitting things. He's about to come down on somoeone's that's lying on the coffee table. He holds the pool cue above his head and lets it down fast
But right before, someone grabs the cell phone, laying their hand on top of it, daring The Boy to hit the hand. The Boy barely in time The hand has a cast on it. The Boy looks up to see a girl (NAOMI) staring at him. She looks mad. The Boy is mad. But not at her. He's trying to mad at her, but he really looks like "sorry" locked She slowly takes her phone, complete eye contact the entire time, then walks out. Everyone stares at this strange interaction As as she leaves, The Boy goes back to smashing things
BOY: Get out! Get away!
Some people start running out trying not to get hit. Other just laugh cause they're high or because they think it's pathetic. They all leave eventually The Boy stands there for a moment. He turns to the bar next to the table. There's half a blunt and a bottle of Sriracha sitting there. The Boy takes the bottle and starts squirting it on the pool table When he's done, he's "ROSCOE'S WETSUIT"
FAM:
The Boy turns. Fam's just sitting there. No one noticed him. Fam gives him a SMH. The Boy leaves

INT. THE BOY'S ROOM - LATER The Boy lays in his bed. Blue and black stripes from the shades fold over his face. He can hear scurrying outside He sees a spider in the corner of the room. sitting in its web 94 The Boy doesn't particularly like or dislike spiders. They're in the house. It's a big house and it's right next to a reserve. But something about this spider sitting there...it really bothers him. It makes him mad. He can hear the spider. Just sitting there. Getting louder I'm going to it as emotional tinnitus: when everything is silent and quiet, you can see the empty web you're in. It is annoying. Which is the slowest form of torture ...The Boy up
CUT TO:
INT. CAR - The Boy drives. I'm not sure where he's driving. He's not sure where he's He drives about an hour out some industrial wasteland-looking nook of Los Angeles He his car
Then, barefoot, he sits on the roof of his car and watches the cars pass. Bright lights grow to an explosion then fade out as they pass. He goes into his pocket and holds the "hackz" flash drive that we saw on his at the beginning Someone spray painted "ROSCOE'S WETSUIT" on the side of the bridge. The Boy is not surprised. not making more sense, but it's becoming more dependable, which is always nice The Boy realizes he hasn't all day. Maybe that's what's wrong
CUT TO: EXT. FATBURGER - The Boy orders a burger in the thru A skinny Latino kid with a Bluetooth him the bag. The Boy pulls over to the side and opens the bag. He looks at the burger for a moment The Boy the burger out
CUT TO: INT. MANSION - The Boy walks through the house; locking all the doors and turning off all the lights. It's always a weird to walk around the house at night because most of the walls are glass, so people can see right inside, especially when it's dark. It's pretty hard to even get to the house, it's the highest home on the hill and there's a long winding road before . But at the same time, if someone got up there, it'd be easy to figure out how to get in All the are off now The Boy walks over to The Buddha in the middle of the foyer. He sits on the floor next to him with his knees to his chest. Looking out the front door into half the darkness and half his reflection. He used to be terrified of this Buddha. When he was little, he'd run behind the statue like it would jump on him as soon as he past. But He slowly became something a best friend. Something like that
INT. THE BOY'S - NIGHT The Boy pours Pelligrino into a wine glass. Then he continues to twist his metal weed grinder in his hand. He takes the top off the grinder and the white powder inside the glass. He drinks it, then sits on the foot of the bed and takes off his white T-shirt Pulling the covers over his body, he looks at the spider in the corner...only it was gone. Where'd it go? Why would it leave? about its parents? Won't they be sad? What a bout hi s frien ds? W hat ab o u t all his s t uf f h o w wa s h esu p p ose d to ke e p all h is s ... . . . . .....
