Tape Page #8

Synopsis: Based on a three-character, one-act play, Tape is set entirely in Room 19 of a seedy motel in Lansing, Michigan rented by Vince, an ill-tempered, outgoing party animal/drug dealer who's visited by his old high school friend Jon, a documentary filmmaker, where they pass the time reminiscing about the good old times which take a turn when Vince records their conversation with Jon admitting to a possible date-rape of Vince's old girlfriend Amy, who later shows up and opens up a new wave of talk and arguments about whose story is fact or fabricated.

I'm staying.

Why?

If this is the only way

she knows how to deal with this,

- then this is what should happen.

- What about me?

What about you?

I didn't really do

anything wrong!

You're in possession of

an illegal substance.

I was just trying

to blow off a little steam.

You should have

blown it off with beer.

I did!

I was just trying

to blow it off a little extra.

You'd better go.

They're on their way.

Come with me.

No.

Don't be an idiot, all right?

They will arrest you.

All right,

is this really what you want?

John's a big boy.

He can make his own decisions.

All right, fine, f*** it.

- Hey, I'm out of here.

- Thanks, Vince.

What?

Thanks.

- For what?

- For all your honesty.

Okay, what does that mean?

Nothing.

I'll see you later.

No! F***!

F***! God!

Sh*t.

Did you really call the police?

No.

Jesus Christ!

Sorry.

Why did you do that?!

I felt like it.

You are so f***ed up!!

God!

What did you expect?

Fine,

but do you have any idea

how much those cost?

There'll be other drugs.

I know.

But I...

I really liked those ones.

Good luck tomorrow.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Goodbye, Vincent.

Goodbye, Amy.

It was good to see...
