Judas Kiss

Synopsis: Failed filmmaker Zachary Wells is convinced by his best friend and hotshot director Topher into replacing him as a judge in their film school's annual festival. Zach's one-night stand with a student backfires when that student walks into an interview the next morning calling himself Danny Reyes, the name Zach went by when he attended the school. And Danny's film, "Judas Kiss," is a finalist in the competition Zach is judging. Zach's film, also "Judas Kiss," won the festival years before. As Zach scrambles for answers, a mysterious, chain-smoking campus tour guide, counsels him: "Change the kid's past, change your future." But how? Zach comes to believe he can mend his life by disqualifying Danny from competition, putting him on a different path than Zach followed. But will Zach's plan work?

Lost and in between

The way you thought it was

And thought it seemed

And everyone has changed

Soon you'll realize that

You're the one

Who's compromised

And you're the one to blame

Listen now

Listen now

If you want another chance

You'll take it now

Oh, oh

If you crash

Crash, crash

If it goes down tonight

It's the messes

That you make

The hearts

That you will break

If you crash

Crash, crash

Oh, don't go another day

It's time to walk away

Or you'll crash

Crash, crash

Oh, you'll crash

Crash, crash

Oh, you'll crash

Opened all the doors 'cause

You think you know

Where they go

But none

Will lead you home

Day and night

Are magnified

Against the good

Against the light

Till you are left alone

Listen now

Listen now

If you want another chance

You'll take it now

Oh, oh

Oh, you'll crash

Crash, crash

If it goes down tonight

It's the messes

That you make

The hearts

That you will break

If you crash

Crash, crash

Oh, don't go another day

It's time to walk away

B*tch.

Two glasses of wine, please.

Uh, vodka gimlet, rocks.

Hey, I'm Zach.

Nate.

You're, uh...

Topher's friend.

Yeah.

He, um...

he showed me your audition tape

for Blood and Barcelona.

- You look good.

- Did he say something?

Well, I mean... I mean,

you've got a good look.

Too bad he didn't hire you

as casting director.

I witnessed your crash and burn

with beautiful young Nate.

Yeah, I, uh...

aimed too high.

Too high?

Mmm, on the hotness scale.

You know, I am a solid seven,

and, uh, you can always get

somebody two points below you

to bump hot dogs,

which for me is, like, a five,

you know, guaranteed.

But what I want is an

eight or a nine, you know.

Tens totally intimidate me.

You know, I start to blather.

He was, I don't know,

maybe a nine,

although with the lighting,

I might have overestimated.

I thought you could

approach a nine.

Seriously, no.

So being my friend didn't help?

Not so much.

It can help you with one thing.

Oh, yeah?

What's that?

Getting an excellent

birthday present.

You didn't...

Thanks, Toph.

It's got all my numbers and

emails pre-programmed

so you can reach me anywhere.

Like if you were suddenly

struck with an idea for a movie.

Right, yeah.

This will shrivel up your dick.

Happy birthday, part two.

Keystone?

For the film festival.

You want to take me to

the keystone film festival?

I need you to take my place.

Your place?

Dude, Blood and Barcelona

just got financed.

We leave for Spain right away.

I need you to fill in for me

as a judge at the festival.

Dude, Keystone asked for you.

There's no place for me there.

Would they-would they even know

that I'd be replacing you?

Of course.

All you have to do

is watch some movies

and interview film students

for the festival scholarship.

You love movies.

And I'm sure the boys are cute.

These aren't just boys, Toph.

These are

skinny-jeans-wearing brats

who think that the world

owes them something.

Yeah. Ha, ha.

Man, what would I even

tell those kids?

You know, my Hollywood career

has consisted of

parties and rehab.

I think those kids would

like to learn something

from a guy

who won the festival

when he was only a sophomore.

Yeah, that guy quit

school to go to L.A.

because he was so talented,

and Hollywood obliged by making

me the biggest partier ever.

That was a different guy...

Go back to Keystone.

Birthday present, part three.

I see you walk

Around your room...

Excuse me, uh... Mr. Welds?

Welcome to Keystone University.

We're the key to your future.

Um, you must be here

for the festival.

You staying on campus

tonight, son?

Uh, Grace Hall.

That's a student dorm, son.

You must've pissed someone off.

Most VIPs are staying

in The Tower.

At least it's easy to find.

Thank you.

Enjoy your visit.

Look what you made me

I must be crazy

Look what you made me

My bread and butterflies

Schizophrenic little girl

Hip-hop from the underground

The soundtrack

To your little world

Call Topher.

Calling Topher.

F***ing voicemail.

Thanks a lot, man.

I can't believe I just let you

keep screwing me over.

You know where they put me?

A freshman dorm.

Freshman, Toph!

I must be crazy

Look what you made me

I must be crazy

Look what you made me

Stare at you

Stare at you

Yeah, the secrets

That that mirror could tell

Who's the old dude?

I dunno.

It only takes one look

To start shakin' your head

It only takes one crook

To start sleepin'

With a bat in your bed

It only takes one brick

Just to build up those walls

And it only takes one hit

To make them all fall

I want to break your stereo

I want to break

Your stereotype

I want to break your stereo

I want to break

Your stereotype

If you could break my stereo

I want you to break

My stereotype

Oh, you could break

my stereo

I want you to break

My stereotype, yeah

Now do you wanna see

my little hammer

It's stuck in my chest

Do you wanna see

my little hammer

It's probably for the best

We all have statues

That we build up

In our minds

My little hammer wants to

Break that stereotype

I want to break your stereo

I want to break

Your stereotype

I want to break your stereo

I want to break

Your stereotype

If you could break my stereo

I want you to break

My stereotype

If you could break my stereo

I want you to break

My stereotype

Come on

Sh*t!

Ah, sh*t.

Mrs... Blossom?

Mr. Wells.

Punctual as always.

You look exactly the same.

Your charm with the

ladies is unflagging.

Ahem.

Oh, I'm sorry.

We were just socializing.

Thank you so much,

Mr. Lyons, Mrs. Lyons.

We are the

honored beneficiaries

of your unending generosity.

That was Mr. and Mrs. -

Yeah, I know.

Of course, you did.

Your schedule.

Be prompt.

Files on each of the

scholarship finalists

you'll be interviewing.

Read them.

Each of the finalists' tapes.

Watch them.

I get it, I get it.

Thank you.

Good day, then.

Mrs. Blossom.

Mr. Wells?

Listen, I know I was sort of

imposed on you here.

Mr. Shadoe is quite

an advocate for you.

Mrs. Blossom, please.

I'm trying to apologize.

- For what, Mr. Wells?

- For Topher.

For screwing up

your film festival.

Topher Shadoe

is a horrendous name.

Why you boys choose to change

your names is beyond me.

Names, faces, films.

I don't forget the good ones,

even yours.

You've got a schedule to keep.

Yeah, right, um, okay.

Okay, last question, Tommy.

Tell us what makes your

creative vision unique.

I like to stare through windows

and just watch people.

Mr. Wells, please.

Oh, call me Zach.

I'm pretty sure

smoking's not allowed.

Stow it, Ralph.

I need a poo break.

So, Tommy, back to you.

No pressure.

So, yeah, I like to see what

people are gonna do

when they think

no one is watching.

Sometimes I'll peek

through the crack

of my sister's bedroom door...

and watch her sleep.

I also like to walk around

with my hands like this.

Like how mysterious you look

surrounded by all

that smoke, Zach.
