Descent Page #3

Comfortable?

Why did you bring me here?

I wake up and here you are.

Such beautiful lips. I want to cry.

I don't understand.

It don't matter. Look at me.

The eyes are innocent and sad.

You're not ready.

I'm sorry.

I don't have my purse.

Adrian. He'll have it.

As much as he loves us,

he don't trust us.

Adrian?

First door to the left.

He helps the helpless.

Last night's a blur.

Yeah, well you got burned.

I'm not catching.

Well, you're playing with fire,

you know...

Why are you here?

To get my purse.

You've been hanging around a lot.

Yep.

But you're not twenty-one.

I saw it. Nineteen.

A million times I have seen it.

Pretty just like you.

All that and more.

And she ends up hurting.

Are you trying to save me?

Eh, f*** it.

Just get out.

Don't be mad, baby.

You brought me here, remember?

Why so cold?

Help the helpless?

Lost cause?

I DJ tonight.

Come by, hang out in the booth.

You're not that smooth.

Yeah I can get pretty rough sometimes.

See how they bleed into each other,

sharing themselves

with total strangers...

They need me... I love it.

You never went down.

No, I didn't.

That's okay.

It's better up than anywhere.

No one to hurt you.

Except when I lose it and go POW!

And then you're in trouble.

Maya, Maya. What's up?

So, Maya, you party hard, Maya?

Oh, you got?

Support. Support.

Don't worry about it, Maya,

I got you covered.

I'm okay.

You gonna offend him. Try a little.

Yeah, send it this way. She's cool.

You know Danny's here, right?

And?

You're the only reason he's here.

Hey, Maya what do you think of that guy?

Huh, is he cute?

Yeah.

You want to meet him?

Sure.

Later, he usually needs

a couple of hours to warm up.

You see, cause this guy, like,

what the hell is this?

You love it.

Hey.

Who's the clown with the silly cap, huh?

Hey Danny.

You said that you liked it.

Yeah, on the baseball field, maybe,

but not here in the hood yo.

Okay, fine.

Happy now?

Can you believe this joker

once spent five hours

in the pouring rain waiting for me

to come out of the club.

You know, I remember that.

That's not cool.

Yeah, he was all wet, crying...

Hey, ask, don't take.

Fine, Adrian can I please have a smoke?

Smoke mine?

Sure.

So, go ahead and smoke it.

I'm not gonna smoke it in

between your toes.

Yeah, you are.

Good boy.

So, Maya, you and Adrian... you know?

Why do you let him treat you like that?

He's just having fun. It's all good.

He's not trying to hurt nobody, really.

Really.

You know you have beautiful feet,

you know that?

Go ahead... kiss it...

Deeper.

Yeah, you are.

Yeah, you are.

Yeah, you are.

Yeah, you are.

I had this girl once...

like you, a college baby.

She said she had all the answers.

But, you know what,

she crumbled at all the wrong times...

yeah, I f***ed her good though.

But I'm hearing sh*t yo.

Sh*t like

"Watch the b*tch, she'll cut you down,

that soul is mean and cold... "

...But I see 'tude not ice...

My player's all growing up.

Oh, I'm liking that.

I'm down with you letting loose,

being you.

But don't forget who got you there,

who made you real... I schooled you.

So why go back?

You got nothing to prove.

FALL:

Ladies and gentlemen, good morning.

May I have your attention please

cell phones, pagers, off.

Every semester

I'm blessed to share my voyage

with three world-weary travelers.

I'd like you to meet the Nina,

the Pinta and the Santa Maria.

They are my eyes and ears.

Treat them well.

They also have mouths.

So Tim, why don't you

introduce yourself.

I'm Tim Banks, grad student emeritus,

seven years and counting.

This is my fifth year

as the Santa Maria...

...and I do feel world-weary.

I'll be running the discussion groups

on Monday and Wednesday nights.

I look forward to meeting with you.

Thank you, Tim. Maya.

I'm Maya, undergraduate.

I'm on Tuesdays and Fridays.

Do you see how a few extra steps

gives you the momentum to

knock a guy's block off.

Well, that's the way it's gonna feel

when you play them.

They're bigger, faster, stronger.

Now we're gonna play it

at the line this time...

See that pain you're feeling,

I want you to fire it back.

Go.

Tonight the Claremont Falcons take

on the Eastman Lions

in a war between teams

that goes back six decades.

It's under way. It's kicking it off.

Joe Goodman gets it for the Falcons

and tackled down just short of

the fifty-yard line by Seth Hall.

So we get an opportunity to

look at the young man,

Mike Mason, making his second start.

Tell him, hit me, it doesn't matter.

He stumbles back, off balance,

and I catch him just enough to

send him flying.

I gotta say if he turned

just the wrong way he'd be.

Are these real?

Hand 'em over, a**hole.

You man enough to take them

from me, pretty boy?

You f***!

Something in there you want, huh?

Lose the f***ing attitude.

Marcie... Happy anniversary.

It was exactly two days ago that we met.

Pens down. Bring 'em up front.

Jared.

I saw you.

Huh?

I saw you cheating.

I'm reporting it to Professor Byron

and the dean's office.

You're shitting me. What the f***?

It's your word against mine.

You could have called me right up there.

Why'd you wait?

Setting up some private time,

some you and me time.

I think you're hooked on me.

That's cool, you know.

Nothing to be ashamed of.

You want to see me again?

That can be arranged.

Ah, you're a sweet girl.

I still see that.

So what do you say?

I want to see you again.

I brought you something.

All right.

Get comfortable.

You are truly beautiful.

Thank you. And you...

are really sweaty.

I came straight from practice.

He's riding us hard for Midstate.

He's... You been to any games?

No.

For real?

Oh sh*t, you're missing out on me

trying to impress you.

Saturday, I catch it at the two,

take a mad dive in for the TD.

Everyone's just going wild.

It was good.

You don't need to lie.

I'm not lying.

I don't go to the games. But I follow.

I follow you

and you didn't score a touchdown.

You didn't play.

I played.

It's okay. Really.

Words don't matter anymore.

You came tonight

and that means the world to me.

To a night to remember.

A night to remember.

So, I'm all yours, as I promised.

...at your complete disposal.

So when does this night

to remember begin?

I already thought it had.

I mean, what do you got in store for me?

Maybe you should look to the stars.

All right. You gotta let me take you

and show you something beautiful.

I promise you you won't regret it.

I don't regret.

Well, that's good, you know,

cause what's the point when you got now

just staring you in the face.

I'm starting to learn that myself.

I want you to stand up.

What for?

It's my night.

You promised.

Strip.

Embarrassed?

No.

Then... take it all off.

Cold?

Uh-uh.

You're shaking.

I'd light the fireplace...

If there's one!

Don't...

I can't help feeling

you're not at home here.

What's mine is yours,

you know that.

Seeing you, you here now,
