Boogie Nights Page #10

LITTLE BILL:

. . . the f*** are you doing?

She looks up at him, smiles.

WATCHER #1

What does it look like they're doing?

LITTLE BILL:

That's my wife.

LITTLE BILL'S WIFE

Shut up, Bill.

WATCHER #2

Yeah, shut up, Bill.

The other WATCHERS join in telling Little Bill to "Shut up." He walks away

and CAMERA follows him until he's approached by a big man, KURT LONGJOHN

(late 40s). He's the cameraman.

KURT LONGJOHN:

Little Bill.

LITTLE BILL:

Hey. Kurt. What's up?

KURT LONGJOHN:

What's wrong with you?

LITTLE BILL:

Ah . . . my f***in' wife, man, she's

over there . . . she's got some idiot's

dick in her, people standing around

watching -- it's a f***in' embarrassment.

KURT LONGJOHN:

Yeah. Yeah. I know. Anyway, listen:

LITTLE BILL:

-- yeah.

KURT LONGJOHN:

For the shoot -- I wanna talk about the look.

I wanted to see about getting this new zoom lens . . .

LITTLE BILL:

Right.

KURT LONGJOHN:

I wondered if we'd be able to look into

getting some more lights, too, y'know --

LITTLE BILL:

Jack wants a minimal-thing --

KURT LONGJOHN:

Right, well, very often, minimal means

a lot more photographically than I think,

well . . . then I think most people understand . . .

LITTLE BILL:

I understand.

KURT LONGJOHN:

No, no. Hey. I know you understand,

I was talking about some other people.

LITTLE BILL:

Well, I think what Jack is talking

about is minimal, not really "natural,"

but minimal . . .

KURT LONGJOHN:

OK . . . fine . . . I was just saying . . .

LITTLE BILL:

I understand --

KURT LONGJOHN:

-- 'cause I'm just trying to give each

picture it's own look --

LITTLE BILL:

Can we talk about this later?

KURT LONGJOHN:

Oh, yeah . . . you have to go somewhere . . . or . . . ?

LITTLE BILL:

Well, no, yeah . . . I mean . . .

KURT LONGJOHN:

'Cause I was hoping to, y'know, for the

shoot tomorrow, we could send Rocky down

and he could pick it up --

LITTLE BILL:

Kurt.

KURT LONGJOHN:

No. Hey. Gotcha. You've gotta go somewhere

so -- hey -- what the f***? It's only the

photography of the movie we're talkin' about --

Little Bill looks at him. HOLD.

LITTLE BILL:

Are you givin' me sh*t, Kurt?

KURT LONGJOHN:

NO, NO, HEY. No way, Little Bill.

LITTLE BILL:

My f***ing wife has a cock in her ass over

in the driveway, alright? I'm sorry if my

thoughts aren't with the photography of the

film we're shooting tomorrow, Kurt, OK?

KURT LONGJOHN:

OK. No big deal. Sorry.

LITTLE BILL:

Alright?

KURT LONGJOHN:

Gotcha.

Little Bill leaves. Kurt stands alone a moment. He walks over to the

driveway and watches Little Bill's Wife get f***ed.

CUT TO:

45 INT. JACK'S HOUSE/HALLWAY - DAY - LATER

CAMERA follows HAND-HELD behind Jack, the Colonel and his Limo Driver as

they walk quickly down a hallway that leads to a bedroom.

CUT TO:

46 INT. BEDROOM - THAT MOMENT

Jack, the Colonel and Limo Driver BURST into the room --

REVERSE ANGLE:
On the floor of the room, the Colonel's LADY FRIEND is lying

naked. She's passed out and she has blood pouring from her nose. The YOUNG

STUD is naked, holding her in his arms. He looks up at the men who just

entered.

YOUNG STUD:

I think she's sick.

COLONEL:

What the f*** is this?

YOUNG STUD:

I didn't do anything.

JACK:

Is she breathing?

YOUNG STUD:

I don't know. I think she did too much coke?

COLONEL:

Duh. Do you think so, smarty?

LIMO DRIVER:

She's definitely overdosing.

COLONEL:

Oh . . . what the f*** . . . .

The four men look at the girl. The Colonel turns to his Limo Driver.

COLONEL:

Alright:
Johnny. You're gonna take care

of this for me. You listening here?

LIMO DRIVER:

Yeah.

COLONEL:

I want you to pick her up, get her in

the car, take her down to St. Joe's.

LIMO DRIVER:

Okay.

COLONEL:

Listen, though:
You drop her off in

the front, I don't want this . . . y'understand?

I don't need this, here.

LIMO DRIVER:

Gotcha.

COLONEL:
