The girls seem visibly relieved.

JUDGE (CONT’D)

You will be given citations though.

You’ll either pay the fine or spendtwo more days in county.

Long pause.

BRIT:

We don't have any money.

38.

JUDGE:

Call mommy or daddy then or do thetime.

He looks towards the bailiff.

JUDGE (CONT’D)

Spring break is not an invitationto do drugs and commit crimes.

Thank you.

He motions for them to leave.

Close up of ALIEN smiling in the back row.

EXT. BEACH - MORNING

The wind is blowing.

Birds are flying in the overcast but beautiful sky.

It’s a new day.

EXT. SIDE OF COURTHOUSE/BAIL BONDS - DAY

A few cars are parked outside.

It’s a low rent bail bond place.

INT. SIDE OF COURTHOUSE/BAIL BONDS - DAY

We see ALIEN standing at a window talking to the bail

bondsman.

We can’t hear what he’s saying but they seem almost like old

friends.

ALIEN has a big smile on his face as he pulls a massive wad

of cash out of his front pocket.

He takes rubber bands off the wad of cash and peels away a

few hundred dollar bills from the top.

He tosses the cash onto the table.

INT - POLICE STATION/HOLDING CELL - DAY

The exhausted looking girls are sitting on the metal benches.

A FEMALE GUARD walks up and opens the door.

39.

FEMALE GAURD:

Ya'll are free to go. Just made

bail.

The girls look surprised.

INT. POLICE STATION/HALLWAY EXIT - DAY

The girls quickly scurry down a narrow hallway towards the

exit.

The lights are bright.

EXT. POLICE STATION - DAY

We hear the loud thud of repetitive bass booming.

We see a white Cadillac Escillade parked in front with its

doors open and the speakers blasting.

The windows are tinted black.

The rims on the car are all spinning around in circles. The

rims are shaped in a money $ sign.

ALIEN is standing in front of the car.

He’s giving the DRUG DEALER a complicated handshake. The two

of them hug and then pat each other on the back.

The four girls walk out of the police station.

The DRUG DEALER smiles and walks away.

ALIEN, smiling wide, stands there with his arms crossed.

He pulls his shades down a bit and then stares at the girls.

The girls slowly make their way towards him.

COTTY:

Who are you?

ALIEN speaks with a slight southern twang. He speaks slowand deliberate. Although he is white, his voice andmannerisms are tinged with southern black hip hop cadencesand vernacular There is something smooth and sleepy aboutthe way he speaks.

40.

ALIEN:

I'm Alien...My real names Al, butyou know, truth is I’m not fromthis planet.

He licks his lips.

COTTY:

Alien?

ALIEN:

That’s what they call me.

FAITH:

Why?

ALIEN:

Why what?

BRIT:

Why are you here?

ALIEN:

Saw ya'll in court...Just thought Icould help out.

CANDY:

Why?

ALIEN:

Why not?

He sticks his massive diamond pinky ring up in the air.

CANDY and BRIT look at the ring. Their eyes pop out.

He smiles really big and opens up his mouth.

In close up we see that his bottom teeth are completely gold

with small diamond encrusted Alien faces in the center of

each tooth.

The girls seem taken aback.

FAITH seems kind of horrified.

I/E. WHITE CADILLAC ESCALADE - DAY

We are inside the car as ALIEN drives. FAITH is in the front

passenger seat.

The bass is booming at an insane volume.

41.

ALIEN is leaning back in his seat. He punches his hand in the

air to accentuate the booming bass.

FAITH looks really uncomfortable and nervous.

The other girls are sitting in the back and laughing. ALIEN

starts laughing to.

He looks back at the girls and smiles.

He looks at FAITH and winks. She moves further away to her

side of the door.

ALIEN turns the volume down on the stereo.

He says something but no one can hear it.

He turns the volume almost completely off.

ALIEN:

Ya'll hungry? Wanna eat? I’m

starving. I’ll take you anywhere.

No one answers.

ALIEN (CONT’D)

Come on now, we can go anywhere.

He keeps driving but he barely looks at the road.

He leans all the way back in his seat and then looks back

towards the girls.

ALIEN (CONT’D)

Ya'll like steak? Lobster tails?

Shrimp? Caviar? SpaghettiAlfredo? Fancy food? Fine dining?

Ala carts?

The girls in the back start to giggle.

They seem smitten by him.

He looks at FAITH with a puppy dog expression.

ALIEN (CONT’D)

Where you wanna go?

FAITH stares back at him.

FAITH:

Burger King.

ALIEN smiles.

42.

He slowly nods yes.

FAITH (CONT’D)

Burger King, please.

COTTY:

It’s her favorite.

He laughs to himself.

The girls in the back laugh.

He turns the volume back up. The bass blasts.

EXT. BURGER KING PARKING LOT - DAY

They are at a quiet Burger King away from the main strip.

It’s raining hard now and the Cadillac is parked under a palm

tree.

INT. BURGER KING - DAY

They are sitting at a booth by a window.

All the girls are scarfing down cheeseburgers.

ALIEN is staring at them and sips a large cup of Seven Up

through a straw.

It should seem like we enter midway into the conversation.

ALIEN:

That’s the first time ya'll beenarrested?

The girls nod and eat.

ALIEN (CONT’D)

That's no fun is it?

BRIT:

No.

ALIEN:

You all ran out of money?

COTTY nods.

CANDY:

Pretty much.

43.

ALIEN:

Bet you spent it on motels and weedright?

FAITH makes a strange face.

ALIEN smiles.

ALIEN (CONT’D)

I know that’s the truth. Well I

got plenty money so don't worry.

The girls look at him suspiciously.

He watches them inhale their food and takes a sip from hissoda.

ALIEN (CONT’D)

You know I live on the beach all

year round?

The girls all just stare at him with wide eyes.

ALIEN (CONT’D)

I’m from here. Originally from themore ghetto parts of the area.

He looks at COTTY.

COTTY blushes a bit.

ALIEN (CONT’D)

Spring break is the worst part.

That’s when the scum come.

BRIT and CANDY start laughing.

COTTY:

What do you do?

ALIEN:

What you mean?

COTTY:

She giggles at her own question.

ALIEN looks at her, his face immediately grows serious andmatter of fact.

ALIEN:

hustler. I’m also a rapper.

ALIEN (CONT'D)

But I've done just about everyillegal activity under the sun.

I’m a true G. I’m a thug with agolden heart and I’m all aboutmaking that money.

Pause.

FAITH seems in shock.

He darts his eyes.

ALIEN (CONT’D)

Always and forever.

The girls cant tell if he’s serious or not.

They start to laugh.

FAITH:

Are you being serious?

FAITH seems confused.

INT. BURGER KING GIRLS BATHROOM - DAY

FAITH is washing her face in the sink.

She throws water onto her face and stares into the mirror.

EXT. BURGER KING PARKING LOT - DAY

It’s pouring down rain.

We see a close up of the rain as it pounds the sidewalk and

makes its way into the gutters.

ALIEN is standing on the side next to the trash can puffing

on a menthol cigarette.

The girls are a ways down from him.

FAITH is crying. BRIT is rubbing FAITH’S shoulder. CANDY is

rubbing FAITH’S back.

They are trying to comfort her.

FAITH:

here. Let’s just go home ya'll.
