*******[PLAY "PINK TOES" AT THIS POINT]*******
This is the part where they kinda fall in love a little bit. But I feel like anything we put here wouldn't do justice to what really happens when a person you meet ends up in your life out of nowhere. But know that it's how you expect it to be, but also more. It's a big inside joke that you can't mess up and only one other person in the world gets It's not a very pretty or perfect love, or even necessarily a romantic love. It doesn't look cool. It's more like two helpless things in the wild, and one says "I'll protect you", and both parties know it's a lie because there's no way either of can protect the other from anything. That lie is the best way to describe this love. That feeling of not having to say "I'm scared", because you share the exact feelings without having words over or under complicate it, that's worth more than protection. It's a connection. The less alone. This is all we look for on earth The Boy and Naomi hang a lot. They spend the night and make breakfast sometimes. He buys stuff for her. She makes him stuff. They watch cartoons together. They're always saying things, giving opinions, interesting. They both have a purpose. It's a great time. Time passes The Boy starts moving small amounts of weed out the mansion, but starts selling more to keep up, along with stuff that isn't weed. He started growing crop in the nursery. The electricity bill would be high, but he stopped in the mansion. He started renting another place to stay and keep the business separate To be honest it was getting a little out of hand, as Naomi predicted. The Boy is not a dealer. A lot of people think you have to be cold and calculated, which he was to an extent. But you also have to know people. How they act/react. But it was still kinda fun up to this point
INT. HOME - DAY The Boy is washing dishes as stands next to him. They just had lunch
NAOMI: China, IL? THE Can't NAOMI: Can't THE I got a run to do Oh
NAOMI (CONT'D): I thought you were other guys do that now THE BOY: I am. Fam can't do one NAOMI: If you're putting up the money you shouldn't be the run THE BOY: I don't really trust anyone to do it NAOMI: You really trust anyone THE BOY: I you NAOMI: You
The Boy stops. She got em
THE BOY: You're NAOMI: I don't want to be right. I wanna you THE BOY (said dumb): "I wanna be right"
She doesn't laugh. He hopes she's inside. Cellphone vibrates on the counter across from them. The Boy goes over and reads the text
BOY (CONT'D): I gotta go Alright THE You okay? NAOMI: I'm THE BOY: Is a fake "I'm fine" NAOMI: No. It's what "I'm fine" always
Nothing is ever "fine". Remember this
THE BOY: I'll be
He walks out. don't see each other anymore
EXT. - DAY The Boy is driving the highway listening to "Danny Glover" by Young Thug
EXT. - DAY The car parks in the driveway. There are three cars already there. When he up, he's playing "Made in America" by JAY Z and Kanye. When it goes off, he continues singing his version while walking up
THE BOY: Sweet Cream Havarti/ Sweet Sweet Cheez-its. They're made in America/ Sweet Bowl of Cheez-its/ Ohhhhh-oohhhhh-
Four are standing waiting at the front door is wrong The Boy stops singing and there in front of the dudes. They look at him. Alone all pull out 45s

INT. - DAY They all in
DUDE 1: the packs? THE In that closet DUDE 1: Sit over
The Boy sits in the living room. Maybe he could run out the back? Where though? They're at the top of a mountain. If someone heard a shot in this neighborhood, they'd call the police immediately. Unfortunately, there a police department in the Palisades. He'd be waiting for the Santa Monica department, which would take a minute The feeling The Boy had now was shockingly similar to the feeling he got at his own parties. People he didn't know or like casually walking through his home and him to pretend everything is "fine", or that they don't have all the power Maybe he text Fam
DUDE 1 (CONT'D): Give me your
The Boy hands him his phone. Two dudes stand guard at the front and back exits. One dude packs the bricks the closet in a trash bag. Dude 1 (seems to be the leader) is looking through The Boy's phone It didn't feel like the day The Boy was going to die. Not to say The Boy didn't feel like he was going to die, he was certain he was going to die today. But he didn't feel like today felt like a/the last day/night. Like a Wednesday that keeps feeling like a Friday. But the more he thought about it, if the last day felt like the last day, the world would be a different place. The we have everyday would vanish if you were guaranteed a warning. People wouldn't live like they do. They wouldn't care what you thought. It'd be anarchy. Or a utopia. Depending on who you ask Dude 1 puts The Boy's phone in his pocket. The Boy know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Dude 1 and Dude 2 start talking. It's obvious they're discussing The Boy's fate If I was the director, the one who made this moment, the one who saw this moment millennia before, the one who coded this and allowed this to happen, I'd have Thundercat's "We'll Die" playing as The Boy looks around at his once castle
...try to do your
Oh! It's like Tony Montana. But resigned and, frankly, more realistic, it's boring. Everybody dies. Most of them are boring All the dudes walk out except Dude 2. He stays. Dude 1 still has his as he walks out. The Boy realizes this action is bad
DUDE 2: Toss me your
This is bad. The Boy tosses the wallet. Dude 2 through it
THE BOY: Can I
2 looks up
BOY (CONT'D): I just want to die how I want There's a pool out there. You're supposed to get this wave of euphoria you drown. Supposed to be good
Dude 2
THE BOY (CONT'D): I could just float there. They'd me
Dude 2 starts to over... (Does it change when you're aware of your last thoughts?) Dude 2 sits to him
DUDE 2: been watching you for a while. You're very sloppy
He's a cop. This a cop
DUDE 2 (CONT'D): I'm just gonna stay here with you for a minute. My are picking up those guys up the street THE Oh
THE BOY (CONT'D): I'm going to 2: Yep
The Boy looks to the pool in the backyard and sees his own body lifeless
Eyes wide, bubbles clinging to his face. Orange, yellow, and brown leaves float above him. His left shoe floating far ahead, probably from struggling at some point. Next to the pool, Naomi and Steve stand over him. Neither is crying or really seem too upset. just look on as if the movie they were watching took an abrupt turn and they're mildly interested rather than satisfied It peaceful. Fitting. He'd like to go out like that
...what's sound?
Tires SCREECH outside. Dude 2 stands up. There's a small outside. Yelling
FREEZE!
The Boy and Dude 2 at each other Dude 1 kicks open the door. He starts firing. Dude 2 falls. A mist of red puff spurts from his chest. screaming 1 turns to The Boy and sho
...(breath).....(breath).............(breath)..
