RAYON:

I was looking for you, Lonestar.

RON:

I could of killed you!

RAYON:

I feel better! I wanted to thank you.

RON:

Good for you. Now get the f*** out!

RAYON:

I need more of that cocktail sh*t you

got!

RON:

Listen Tinkerbell, unless you got cash or

some new clients for me, I'm busy. Now

get the f...

RAYON:

(interrupting)

Let's just do this quickly so I can get

the f*** out!

Rayon shows Ron a stack of bills. A big one.

RAYON:

You got enough for 20 of us?

Rayon sees how Ron looks at his cash.

RAYON:

You know what? You don't deserve our

money, you homophobic a**hole!

Rayon gets out. Ron watches him walk away in disbelief.

RON:

Am I f***in' dreamin'?

Rayon walks over to a FRIEND of his on the street. That's

Ron's POV as he backs his car towards them.

RON:

Here's enough for 20, find me 20 more and

I'll cut you in. Five percent.

Rayon plays it cool, barely looks at Ron.

RAYON:

Adios, cowboy.

Dallas Buyers Club / Green Revision / Dec 2, 2012 / P. 40

RON:

What's wrong?

RAYON:

I can handle your insults, but five

percent?

RON:

Ten.

RAYON:

Twenty five, take it or leave it.

58

Ron shakes his head in disbelief. And nods. Rayon walks to 58

Ron's car with a big smile on his face.

59

EXT. GAY CLUB - NIGHT 59

Rayon tries to get Ron to come in. Ron doesn't want to.

Rayon pushes him in.

60

INT. GAY CLUB - NIGHT 60

On the dance floor, Rayon grinds with a group of MEN. He

waves Ron over from the sidelines. The cowboy with the

chapless butt stares at Ron. Ron doesn't think it's funny.

60B

EXT. DRADDY AUDITORIUM - PARKING LOT - NIGHT 60B

Rayon is on the look out. Ron sells MEDS out of the trunk of

his car to a line of GAY MEN. A CUSTOMER hands him some cash,

Ron reaches into his trunk and finds a pair of handcuffs

slapped on his wrists. He's pushed against the cars, his legs

kicked apart. F***.

60C

INT. POLICE STATION - HOLDING ROOM - DAY 60C

Ron sits with David Wayne.

RON:

Five grand worth of sh*t. Sh*t I owe

money on.

Richard Barkley walks in.

RICHARD BARKLEY:

Father Woodroof. 90 days supply?

Dallas Buyers Club / Green Revision / Dec 2, 2012 / P. 40A

RON:

I was just sharing.

RICHARD BARKLEY:

(with compassion)

Listen, I know what the situation is. I

know people are looking for solutions.

But this is not the right one. This is

dangerous. You can't sell drugs to

people. Do you understand?

RON:

Yeah, I understand.

David Wayne

My client would like his drugs back for

his own personal use.

Richard Barkley

They've already been destroyed.

Ron clenches his jaw, tries to remain cool.

Richard Barkley

I hope we have an understanding. You're

breaking the law.

A60 INT. DALLAS PUBLIC LIBRARY - DAY A60

Ron is back to his reading. In front of him: NEWSPAPERS from

SAN FRANCISCO, LONDON, NEW YORK. Ron sees something. Light

bulb moment.

A61 EXT. DALLAS BUYERS CLUB MOTEL - DAY A61

Ron and Rayon walk towards an old retro looking motel from the

sixties.

RAYON:

You gotta be kidding me?!

RON:

No, perfect place. We gotta lay low.

Don't wanna get busted. I got a plan.

Dallas Buyers Club / Green Revision / Dec 2, 2012 / P. 41

61 INT. DALLAS BUYER'S CLUB MOTEL - RON'S OFFICE - DAY 61

Ron stacks boxes in the room among his personal stuff. The

place looks like what it is: a cheap sex motel.

RAYON:

This place is disgusting. We need to

disinfect.

RON:

Do not use the word “we”. Now you wanna

put your apron on and fly around on your

broom, be my guest.

Just then, a KNOCK on the open door. Rayon and Ron look up to

see attorney DAVID WAYNE, 40s.

RON:

Howdy Counselor, welcome.

RAYON:

Hi, I'm Rayon.

Wayne takes in Rayon.

RON:

He's my partner. Business partner.

Ron throws a key to Rayon.

RON:

Your office's next door.

Rayon gets the message and exits. Wayne looks around at all

the boxes.

DAVID WAYNE:

Jesus, how many truck loads you bring

back from Mexico? All for your own

personal use?

(gives Ron a folder)

Here's the paper work for your LLC. I

don't even want to know what it's for.

RON:

Don't worry, Counselor. I ain't selling

drugs anymore.

(off Wayne's look of surprise)

I'm giving them away. For free.

(showing the folder)

By selling memberships. Four hundred a

month in dues gets you all the meds you

need.

(MORE)

Dallas Buyers Club / Green Revision / Dec 2, 2012 / P. 42

RON (CONT'D)

Wayne looks at him, thinking it over.

DAVID WAYNE:

You son of a b*tch!

RON:

B*tches. Plural. There's a bunch of

faggots runnin' a hell of a club up in

New York. That's where I got the idea.

(beat)

Welcome to the Dallas Buyers Club.

62 INT. EVE’S HOUSE - DALLAS - NIGHT - MARCH 1987 62

Eve pours herself a glass of red wine, cleans the stain left

by the bottle on the counter and sits on the couch between

paper works. CLOSE ON the TV NEWS ANCHOR.

NEWS ANCHOR:

Barrow Wilkem announced today that AZT

has been approved as the first drug to

treat AIDS. At a cost of $10,000 per

year per patient, AZT is the most

expensive drug ever marketed. Barrow

Wilkem stock jumped a whopping 12% today

on the news.

Eve sits, staring at the TV.

63 INT. DALLAS BUYERS CLUB MOTEL - RAYON'S OFFICE - DAY 63

The small room has been turned into an office. In his version

of a Nurse outfit, Rayon is taping photos of MARC BOLAN to the

wall. We now understand where Rayon’s look comes from. TEN

MEN linger through the room and into the next one through a

connecting door...

RON'S OFFICE

Ron is behind a desk, atop which sits a gun, a bottle of

Tequila and dozens of medical files. On the wall nearby are

posters of SPORTS CARS and BIKINI MODELS as well as the Texas

Wildflowers painting, news clippings regarding AIDS and a

crude CHART listing Patients and their info: SYMPTOMS, DRUGS

TAKEN, and ORIENTATION (Gay, Drug Addict, Hemophiliac).

Dallas Buyers Club / Green Revision / Dec 2, 2012 / P. 43

RAYON:

(as he enters)

Roanie, we have two new customers.

Ron looks up from the chart he's filling out.

RON:

Bring 'em in and if you call me Roanie

again...

(grabs his gun)

...I’ma use this gun to give you the sex

change you been hopin' for.

Rayon shakes his head, walking off, as IAN and MICHAEL, a

conservative gay couple in their 50s appear in the doorway.

They look at Ron's gun and hesitate to walk in.

RON:

Ah sh*t, did I scare you? Sorry.

Welcome to the Dallas Buyers Club.

Ron puts the gun away. Ian and Michael sit down. Ian is

clearly very ill.

MICHAEL:

Rayon said you can get us some medicine.

RON:

He told you how it works? Treatments and

drugs are free, but the membership, 400$.

They nod yes.

RON:

(handing them a clipboard)

You’ll have to sign a waiver. We take no

responsibility for the drugs we give you.

You croak, you croak. That’s your

problem.

Michael looks at Ian, who nods okay. They sign the waiver.

MICHAEL:

We have AZT, it helped Ian a little at

first, but now he can’t walk or think

straight.
