Bellflower Page #3

Synopsis: Bellflower follows two friends as they venture out into the world to begin their adult lives. Literally all their free time is spent building flame-throwers and weapons of mass destruction in hopes that a global apocalypse will occur and clear the runway for their imaginary gang "Mother Medusa". While waiting for the world to end, their call to excitement comes unexpectedly when one of them meets a charismatic young woman and falls hard in love. Quickly integrated into a new group of friends, they set off on a journey of betrayal, love, hate, infidelity and extreme violence more devastating and fiery than any of their apocalyptic fantasies. Often life's simplest and most obvious truths are the hardest to see, but once you've burned everything to the ground it may be the only thing left standing.

Yeah, Woodrow. That guy.

She, uh, left a message

on the machine yesterday.

What did she say?

She's in Texas or some sh*t.

God knows.

I hope she gets back in time.

You guys can still come over and party

even if she's not back yet.

I still live here too.

Speaking of which, I paid her rent again.

Tsk.

Um...

What are you making?

Smokies.

Smokies?

Yeah. Smokies.

They're really good.

They're just, like,

little tiny wieners?

Yes.

Really?

Little hot dogs. That's what you

chose to make for your friends...

little wieners.

Yeah.

That's an interesting choice.

And I really like this

apron too. Thank you. Okay.

It really brings out

your eye color. Bye.

A nice teal. Get outta

here. I will see you...

Hey, maybe you can make

those Smokies for my birthday.

Maybe I will. Maybe I

should try one just to...

No, don't touch.

If you leave, I'll make them for you.

Really?

I promise. But go.

Come on, Layla. Let's go.

Miss Thing!

How's your face feel?

Hmm?

Oh, it's not bad.

Your eye is really swollen.

It's not that swollen.

You're crazy.

Mmm. Does it look cool?

What, you acting crazy?

No, my eye.

Yeah, it's pretty tough.

Okay.

This is nice.

Why do you keep saying that?

I don't know. 'Cause it is.

You're so cute.

Mmm. Thank you.

You're pretty cute too.

Mmm.

Mmm.

This is nice though.

Mmm.

Do you have a boyfriend?

What?

I don't know.

Do you think that I would be on this

trip with you if I had a boyfriend?

I don't know.

I mean, I hope not,

I guess.

I don't have a boyfriend, silly.

Okay.

Sorry.

I think you might be

my girlfriend someday, yeah?

Um, is that your way of asking

me to be your girlfriend?

Um, I don't know. Maybe.

You don't want me

to be your girlfriend.

I think I might, actually.

No, you don't.

Why not?

Because.

Because why?

Things will go bad.

How do you know?

Because that's

always what happens.

I'll hurt you,

and I won't be able to help it.

Oh, how do you know

I won't end up hurting you?

I doubt it.

I'm pretty tough,

you know?

I know, I know.

You're not

gonna hurt me.

Okay.

Hello.

Hi.

Can I get a pack of aspirin,

please?

Aspirin. Yes.

Oh, excuse me. I'm walking.

Oh, actually,

can I get the yellow one?

Yellow. Oh, excuse me. I'm

walking. Sorry. Excuse me.

Aiden, can you quit

harassing my customers, please?

Aiden! You a**hole.

My God, I thought you were

some crazy weirdo.

I am some weirdo.

What are you doing here?

I just live around

the corner. Oh. Sorry.

Thank you.

Thank you.

So have you heard

from Woodrow or Milly?

Yeah, I did, actually.

Apparently they went to Texas.

Texas? Really?

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Weird.

They're not gonna get back

till Wednesday.

Wednesday. Sweet.

Yeah.

Except I'm, like, really bored

without Milly around.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Then you called,

but then you were

just looking for Milly, so...

Hey, come on. I was looking

for Woodrow, seriously.

No, I mean, it was weird.

I did ask for your number.

I wasn't sure if I should call.

Well, I gave you my number.

I know, I know, I know.

But then I woke up the next

morning, and I was like, "Oh, my God.

"Last night, I was so drunk,

she probably just gave me her phone

number 'cause she felt sorry for mel '

No, no. I don't have problems

saying no to drunk guys.

No, I didn't say that.

It's just I'm so f***ing hot.

You're such a dork.

Um, this is my place.

Awesome.

Well, um, I don't know...

if Woodrow and Milly

are gonna be back yet,

but on Wednesday night...

it's my birthday,

so I'm gonna have a party

at Milly's house.

Sweet. Since you live right

here, if you wanna go...

No. I totally wanna go.

I love birthday parties.

Okay. Cool.

Okay.

So, Wednesday night.

Okay. Cool.

Okay. So I'll see you.

Okay. Okay, that's cute.

Okay. All right. Sweet.

Well, uh, have a good day,

and I'll see you...

for your super radical

birthday party Wednesday night.

We'll get trashed.

Okay.

We'll trash-talk each other.

Bye.

Okay. Bye.

Woodrow, you have to come see this.

What? What is it?

Just come see.

What is it?

Just come see!

Okay. Ahh!

You're gonna make me mad!

Oh, my God!

Dude, right?

This is a really, really...

beat-up old motorcycle.

It's f***ing homemade.

I know.

You know what else it is?

Awesome?

Yes, awesome. And?

Old?

Dude, look at it. And?

And apocalypse Road Warrior

motorcycle awesomeness!

Totally! Let's buy it.

Oh, my God, it is.

How are we gonna get it back? There's

no way we're gonna fit that in the car.

Yeah, you're right.

But perhaps we could

trade the car for it.

You can't trade your car.

Yes, I can.

Who cares?

It's not worth anything.

Let's do it. Dude!

Let's f***ing do it.

All right.

Have a great day.

Whoo!

Whoo!

Later! Bye! Bye!

#Aren't you #

# There's people that we know #

every weekend we make it #

# We find truth

in all of our losses #

we cannot possibly bear #

Aiden.

Hey.

Hey.

You're here early.

Happy birthday.

Thank you.

Open it.

Oh, okay.

It's a fruitcake.

It's awesome.

I figured if I got you fruitcake

for your birthday,

I could get you a real present at Christmas

when we know each other really well.

Come in.

Okay.

Ohh!

Oh.

Mmm.

Is this good-bye?

Mmm, yeah.

Mmm?

Mmm.

I had a really good time

hanging out with you.

Me too.

What?

Nothing.

Did you just kiss me?

Yeah.

Took you long enough.

Mmm.

I was waiting

for the right time.

Oh.

There's a bunch of people

in your house.

I know. It's Courtney's birthday.

I totally forgot until just now.

Oh.

You wanna come in?

Oh, I'm so tired.

Come on. Come in.

We should get totally wasted.

Okay. All right.

But I have to call Aiden.

All right. Because he's

probably worried sick about me.

Aw.

Okay.

#It stumbled out lost #

#And without a pause,

unstung as I was #

#Still, I stomped it #

#I thought there was

no paved street worthy #

#Of your perfect

Scandinavian feet #

# While my crooked Chinese

fingers groped #

# The machinery of your throat #

What's up?

#And now these few presidents #

#Frowning in my pocket #

Ah.

#Can persuade no god #

# To let me let you talk #

#Oh, these few presidents #

#Drowning in my pocket #

#Can persuade no god #

# To let me let you off #

What the hell? Woodrow!

I missed you! Where were you? Aiden!

What the hell

are you doing here?

So you two actually drove

all the way to Texas?

Yeah.

You didn't go to that

restaurant, did you? I did.

You prick!

We were supposed to go there.
