FADE IN:

EXT. SMALL LOCAL COLLEGE - MAGIC HOUR

We see the entrance to a small college campus, leafless trees

lining the road.

The wind is blowing.

The sun is setting and the sky has a hazy red tint.

EXT. COLLEGE PARKING LOT - MAGIC HOUR

We see a parking lot with only a few cars.

A couple of students walk past in the distance.

EXT. CAMPUS GROUNDS - MAGIC HOUR

A few students are on their way back to class.

Some trash and beer cans dot the campus grounds.

The faint sound of crappy music is playing somewhere off in

the distance.

EXT. COLLEGE CAMPUS DUCK POND/FOUNTAIN - MAGIC HOUR

A small fountain - flowing weakly - sits in the middle of a

pond with a few ducks.

A couple of students walk by.

We don't see any faces.

INT. COLLEGE CAFETERIA - NIGHT

The cafeteria is not very busy, only a few scattered students

reading.

We see four young girls - all in their early twenties -

sitting around a table.

All four girls are very cute.

They are sitting quietly next to one another.

BRIT has blonde hair and sharp eyes.

2.

She is listening to head phones and we can hear that it is

rap music.

She bobs her head ever so slightly.

She is wearing a white baseball cap with a curved brim that

is pulled down almost to her eyes.

Her stare is hard.

CANDY is sitting next to her.

Her hair is darker.

She has thick red lips and her nails are bright red.

She’s wearing a T-shirt with Snoopy on it. Snoopy is holding

a gun in the picture.

FAITH is sitting next to her.

She has a stunning face.

She is wearing no make up and a crucifix necklace.

She looks extremely innocent and doe-eyed.

Her breasts are large and she is wearing a pink sweater.

She takes a sip from a box of chocolate milk.

Sitting next to her is COTTY.

COTTY has a very cute baby face.

Her hair is in a short bob and her eyes are crystal blue.

All the girls speak sound alike, with a bit of a southern

accent.

They are from the same town.

They sit quietly for a bit, looking around at the other

students in the cafeteria.

COTTY:

We gotta get the f*** out of here.

FAITH:

I know.

BRIT:

How much money do we have?

3.

CANDY:

Not enough.

BRIT:

How much?

CANDY:

About halfway there.

(under her breath)

Halfway to paradise.

Long pause.

They stare out at their classmates eating and socializing.

BRIT:

I’m so ready to get my party on.

COTTY grabs three french fries and sticks them in her mouth.

BRIT yawns.

INT. HISTORY CLASS - NIGHT

A HISTORY PROFESSOR stands in front of a nearly full

classroom giving a talk on civil rights.

Almost all the students are taking notes.

BRIT is sitting next to CANDY.

She is writing something into her note pad.

BRIT looks around to make sure no one else is looking at her.

She holds up her note pad and laughs, she tries to muffle it

with her shoulder.

She has written the words “I WANT PENIS!” on the note pad.

There is a bright pink heart drawn very neatly around the

sentence.

CANDY nods in agreement and flips open her notebook.

She grabs a big black magic marker and pops the cap off with

her mouth.

She darts her eyes quickly around the room.

She writes onto a piece of paper.

She holds it up to CANDY’S face.

4.

It says “SPRING BREAK B*TCH!!”

She has drawn a large penis around the words.

They both start laughing.

A CHUBBY REDHEADED GIRL STUDENT with thick glasses and a nose

ring, makes a loud shhhhh noise.

CANDY flicks her off.

BRIT kicks the side of CANDY’S leg.

They both try and stifle their laughs but to no avail.

Some of the students sitting around them seem annoyed.

The PROFESSOR pays no attention to them, continuing his

speech on civil rights.

CUT TO BLACK:

OPENING TITLE SEQUENCE PLAYS.

THE TITLE SEQUENCE IS A BEAUTIFUL SLOW MOTION MONTAGE OF

SPRING BREAK DEBAUCHERY.

ALL THE FOOTAGE SHOULD BE TAKEN DIRECTLY FROM PRE-EXISTING

NEWS FOOTAGE AND YOUTUBE CLIPS.

IN THE STYLE OF “GIRLS GONE WILD.”

THE IMAGES ARE SLOWED DOWN TO A NEAR CRAWL AND MADE TO LOOK

ALMOST IMPRESSIONISTIC.

GIRLS LIFTING UP THEIR SHIRTS.

BOYS POUNDING THEIR BARE CHESTS.

EVERYONE DANCING ON THE BEACH AND GETTING DRUNK.

Over these images we hear THE CLASSIC 80’S POP SONG ‘ONLY IN

MY DREAMS’ by DEBBIE GIBSON.

THE FINAL IMAGE IS OF A PRETTY 19 YEAR OLD GIRL WITH FRECKLES

STANDING ON THE BEACH LICKING A LARGE MULTI COLORED ICE POP.

SHE’S SMILING AT THE CAMERA.

SHE’S WEARING A YELLOW AND BLACK STRIPED BIKINI.

SHE’S HAS BRACES ON HER TEETH AND STICKS HER TONGUE OUT IN A

SUGGESTIVE WAY.

5.

THE TITLE ‘SPRING BREAKERS’ APPEARS OVER THE IMAGE.

THE LETTERS HAVE TINY PINK SPARKLING HEARTS DRAWN INSIDE OF

THEM.

HER TONGUE IS BRIGHT RED FROM THE ICE POP.

THE MUSIC QUICKLY CUTS OUT.

INT. BRIT AND CANDY’S DORM ROOM/BATHROOM - NIGHT

Close up of BRIT holding a very real looking toy water gun in

the sink.

We can hear some dirty gangsta rap playing in the room

outside.

She pops open the hole on the toy gun.

She takes a bottle of Jack Daniels and pours it into the

hole.

Her hair falls onto her face and she pushes her hair away

with her wrist.

She’s wearing an oversized neon pink T-shirt.

She holds the gun up and squeezes a bit into her own mouth.

She smiles and walks out of the room.

EXT. COLLEGE CHAPEL PARKING LOT - NIGHT

FAITH walks through the parking lot.

The parking lot is almost completely dark except for a single

neon light that beams down from an overhead lamp post.

She walks through the light. Her eyes are wide and innocent.

She is holding a bible in her hand and has a pen stuck behind

her ear.

A few other students make their way inside.

INT. COLLEGE CHAPEL - NIGHT

It is a bible study workshop filled with students.

They are all sitting on the ground in a circle with their

legs crossed.

6.

The students hold hands and have their heads bowed.

They are singing a prayer in unison.

CUT TO:

COLLEGE CHAPEL/LATER

Everyone is standing now, their hands in the air.

A muscle-bound YOUTH PASTOR in an Ed Hardy T-shirt and flipflops is pacing back and forth.

He has a large crucifix tattoo with roses crawling up theside of his neck.

He is holding a bible up over his head and his face is brightred.

He speaks like a football coach who is about to be hoarse.

YOUTH PASTOR:

I am stoked on the lord!! I am so

completely stoked on the lord!! Do

ya'll hear me?

YOUTH GROUP:

(in unison)

Yes!!

YOUTH PASTOR:

I feel his presence hardcore! I

am beyond completely stoked up onJesus tonight! His power isgettin’ me amped!! It’s like superfuel! Amped up hardcore ya'll!! I

am so amped on Jesus tonight!!

Ya'll feeling me?

He grunts a bit.

YOUTH GROUP:

Yes!!

The YOUTH PASTOR wipes the sweat from his face.

He walks to the podium and takes a big sip from an orangeGATORADE bottle.

He holds the bible high into the air and then flexes botharms, making a hideously strained face.

7.

His demeanor is very close to a professional wrestler.

FAITH has both hands in the air.

She is nodding her head up and down, completely focused on
