Loitering with Intent Page #6

Synopsis: Two male actors/close friends want to jumpstart their careers. They end up making a big shot producer think that they have a hot script that everyone wants to get their hands on. The 2 men then drive to upstate New York and hole up in a family member's country home- with 10 dedicated days to write said script. Dominic and Raphael then get derailed by a beautiful gardener, Ava and Dominic's sister, Gigi. Both women appear at the house, which was supposed to be serene enough to focus on the task at hand. But to add to the problems, Gigi's boyfriend Wayne arrives, still suffering from PTSD, and his brother Devon as well, creating even more havoc. A looming deadline and complicated personal histories create scenes that are humorous and emotional.

- Are you asking me this? I don't get it.

- No that's to myself.

I've been carrying that

around for a few weeks now.

I write stuff down that...

Triggers?

Yeah! More I write it out,

more I can start to see the...

- Patterns?

- Patterns.

And then I can start to

figure some of that sh*t out.

Okay. This is very

evolved for you.

Is this some kind of trick?

What do you think?

No, it's not a trick.

Okay, it's a trick.

You're being tricked.

"Lights."

Yeah? Okay, I know that one.

"Bruni the super?"

- Yeah, that f***ing guy.

- Well, I know. Me too, for that matter.

Rain...

Rain gets you mad?

No, not the rain. Umbrellas. People aren't

careful you could get your eye poked out.

They could easily lift it up, or tilt it.

They don't f***ing do that.

Get poked with a f***ing umbrella.

I don't see anything on here

about the Barracuda.

Are you listening,

are you really reading this?

I'm working my way

up to the big one.

Why would you wait till now to give me this?

After you've caused all these problems...

You do something like this, and then

you propose, that's reasonable.

But, not on the heels of a huge argument.

And then you...

Did you ever see a dream

walking?

Well, I did

Did you ever see a dream

talking?

Well, I did

Did you ever see heaven

right in your arms?

Saying I love you, I do

Stop it!

Well the dream that was walking, I...

That was a little high.

Stop. Stop!

I love you...

I didn't want you to leave.

I never want you to leave.

But you're always f***ing leaving.

I'm working on it, baby. What do

you think the card's all about?

I don't wanna leave. I don't

want you to leave either.

Let's get married.

- Oh, my God!

- What, oh, my God?

I can't believe you did it again!

- What am I doing?

- You're not getting it.

Dominic! Hey, it's me, Kaplan.

Listen, bad news,

the money went away for a little project.

So, I won't be needing your script.

But hey, these things happen, you

know, so, you gotta stick it out.

The money was there,

now it's not.

It's very frustrating,

but what can you do?

Okay, take care, babe.

I gotta go. Bye.

F***.

You were crying.

Why were you crying?

Because they sliced my ear off, dude.

But that's not what would happen.

That's blunt trauma.

You would go into shock or something.

You've never had your ear cut off.

How the f*** do you know?

No, but I've been shot. Got a

piece of shrapnel on my thigh,

seen my buddies get their fingers blown off.

That's not what happens. You go into shock.

This guy, it was very close to my head, man.

It hit nerves and sh*t.

What about playing like

an interior decorator?

Or maybe like a hairdresser?

Stop it.

Come on, Wayne.

- Wanna do a shot?

- Yes.

Let's go out.

Cheers, bro!

Cheers!

I want you, right there.

You, give me...

Check, check, check!

DJ Fluxus is gonna juxt

your whole position, people.

Everyone back down on the dance floor.

Let's do it.

Listen to me, you're my everything.

You're all that means anything to me.

You're my ice cream sundae,

you understand. You get me?

Why don't we go to Niagara Falls

and have a honeymoon?

- Hey.

- Hey.

Hi! Those were seriously

some good dance moves.

- You too!

- Thanks.

Cold water doesn't bother me. I can

keep my hand in there all night.

Maybe you should do that.

No.

Sorry.

What the f***?

You're not into this?

- Come here.

- What? Oh.

Everybody on the dance

floor. Everybody, come down.

We do the honeymoon now, and if that

goes well, we can get married later.

- Know what I mean?

- I like that.

And if we get really crazy,

we could drive to Canada.

Keep on driving to Montreal.

Is that something you wanna do?

Don't you wanna do that?

Do you wanna do that?

What?

Look I'm sorry, it's just, you know, I...

Have a girlfriend.

That's not what I'm talking about.

All right, okay, okay, next.

You know what the main

ingredient of the marshmallow is?

- Sugar!

- No.

- Horse?

- Cocaine?

- No. What?

- Horse... horse hoof.

- Hooves, hooves!

- Oh, my God.

Politics.

Politics people, politics.

All right, last one.

Who's on the 500 dollar bill?

William McKinley.

William McKinley. William McKinley.

- B*tches.

- Who the f*** knows that?

No one. That's the point.

William McKinley was a f***ing president of

the United States and no one knows who he is.

Everybody knows

who Washington is.

Lincoln, f***ing Ben Franklin wasn't

even president and he's on some money.

But what the f*** did William McKinley do?

- He got assassinated.

- He did get assassinated.

- Does anybody know?

- He was President?

I've never even heard of him.

They don't even make 500

dollar bills any more.

What's your point?

My point is, McKinley never made his mark.

Oh.

- So you're a man on a mission.

- Yeah, I'm a man on a mission.

You know, I wanna make a mark.

What then?

I don't know. That's it.

I get to live my life doing what I love.

Again, and again and again, and again.

And then we die,

and then it's over and who cares?

We're all f***ing just bacteria, dude.

Why are you so caught up in making a mark for?

I wake up every morning with this...

pain in my stomach like I did something wrong.

I don't wanna feel that sh*t any more.

Shame.

I don't know what it is

but I don't wanna feel it.

Was talking about

self-loathing. Shame.

You gotta look to it man.

Everything else will come.

I don't know...

But you do know.

It's exactly that. The weight of all this

stuff gets lifted when you embrace love.

All of this other stuff is real.

But it's good to align

yourself with love. It helps.

What's the point, if we don't have love?

Yeah.

Why are we here?

Yeah, dude, love. Riding high energy.

When I surf, I feel love.

A wave is like a wavelength

of energy. It's moving water

and I'm riding the surface.

Dude, think about that!

I'm in perfect harmony with

mother nature when I'm surfing.

- That's amazing!

- That is amazing.

I love Gigi.

I love Gigi too.

I love you.

Take it easy, tiger.

She loves you too.

I'm serious.

- I love you too.

- Here have a marshmallow.

Love is a giant pickle.

I'm in love with you.

These people, they don't know what we're

talking about. I'm in love with you.

Wayne, I'm sorry you have to hear this.

I got nothing against you.

There's something alive here

between Gigi and me.

Right.

Remember back in the day, you wanted to drive

down the Pan-American highway with me?

Remember that?

You wanted to drive

all the way down there with me?

But I wasn't ready.

- These last few days have been so...

- Let's hear him out.

Gigi, I can love you like

you never, ever, ever...

Like earth, like magic.

Just meet me in my car at 4:00 a.m..

You don't bring anything.

We gonna make that drive.

Hey, Dev, you're in the wrong car.

Sorry.

Good night.

What's up big boy?

You know,

I like what you guys have written so far.

Yeah, what do you like about it?

I like that they fall in love.

Does she fall through with the double cross?
