Ricky dives naked into the extravagant blue pool, with

perfect form. He comes out glistening from the water, and

looks up at Minnie who stands nervously, still clothed at the

edge of the pool. The house behind her is a mansion: huge and

pristine.

RICKY:

What are you waiting for? Don’t be

scared.

Minnie thinks, and then peels off her top.

MINNIE (V.O.)

Sometimes the beauty of a boy makes

me want to cry.

60 INT. RICKY WASSERMAN’S HOUSE - POOLHOUSE - LATER 60

Minnie and Ricky hump in the poolhouse, amongst the blow-up

pool-toys and towels. The sun glistens on Ricky’s young body

as he goes at it, rabbit-style. Minnie’s not into this.

Ricky looks very pleased with his jackhammering, until Minnie

flips him over. She slows him down, controlling the pace like

a pro, moving her body with confidence. Ricky is overwhelmed.

She is leading this dance, but doesn’t notice his discomfort.

She moans and screams out, like a grown woman.

Birds fly overhead, the trees rustle. Minnie cums, Ricky

looks uncomfortable, music crescendos and then silence.

61 INT. MINNIE’S HOUSE - LIVING ROOM - EVENING 61

Minnie enters, her hair still wet from the pool at Ricky’s.

Monroe and Charlotte are curled up on the couch, Charlotte’s

long legs bare and on display. Minnie walks right past Monroe

and he spots a small hickey on her neck. She pays him no

mind, and struts into her room, pleased with herself. Monroe

looks after her, a little jealous.

62 EXT. RICH PRIVATE HIGH SCHOOL - STREET - MORNING 62

Minnie approaches the front steps of the school where Ricky

and Arnie are posted. Minnie waves at Ricky. He waves back,

tentatively, and whispers something to Arnie, turning away.

A horn honks. Minnie notices Monroe’s beat up car idling in

front of the school. She glances to Ricky and then goes up to

the car and sticks her head in his rolled down window.

Green (01/19/2014) 4343.

MONROE:

Come on, fat ass!

Minnie is pleased, and gets in the car, Ricky looks on.

63 EXT. MARINA - DOCK - LATER THAT DAY 63

Minnie and Monroe walk along the docks, near a boat. Minnie

is antsy.

MONROE:

Look at this day!

MINNIE:

Are we gonna go to your place?

MONROE:

I thought you wanted to look at

boats with me.

MINNIE:

Well, yeah I do. But then are we

gonna go to your place?

MONROE:

What’re you? Some kind of nympho or

something?

MINNIE:

No! F*** you. You’re so disgusting!

She pushes him. He laughs it off.

MINNIE (CONT’D)

I don’t know why you even brought

me here.

MONROE:

Don’t get nervous in the service,

kid! We’re just gonna take a look

at this boat real quick.

(then, sheepishly)

You look really nice today.

MINNIE:

What?

MONROE:

You look pretty. And you’re not

fat. You know you have a great

body.

Green (01/19/2014) 4444.

MINNIE:

I do not.

He leads her toward a boat, and a MAN, in his 60s and looks

it, comes out of it.

MONROE:

(quietly to Minnie)

There he is. He looks like a real

sailor.

MAN:

Howdy. You the one called about the

boat?

MONROE:

That’s me.

MAN:

Take a look around. I’ll wait for

you on the dock.

Monroe helps Minnie onboard.

64 I/E BOAT - CABIN - MOMENTS LATER 64

Minnie looks around the tiny boat cabin. Monroe runs his

hands over the contours of the boat.

MONROE:

Man this is a beautiful boat, don't

you think?

MINNIE:

I guess. I like this little

kitchen.

Green (01/19/2014) 45.

MONROE:

Hey, want to take a trip around the

world? I'd make you first mate?

He throws her a beer from him pocket. He pops one for himself

and sits at the dinette.

MINNIE:

(suddenly interested)

Like Gilligan?

MONROE:

Like Gilligan. I’ll put you to work

in the galley. And we’d get a cat

for the ship.

MINNIE:

It’s like a little house.

(then)

Are you really going to get it?

MONROE:

Well, I kinda wish it was blue.

MINNIE:

(taking this seriously)

Yeah, me too.

Monroe looks out the window at the sea and is quiet.

MONROE:

But I really am gonna buy a boat. I

just have to wait till my vitamin

business takes off. I'm gonna build

up a mail-order empire and then

sell it and retire when I'm 45.

Then I’ll get my boat. Become the

captain of my own destiny. One day

I'll just sail away. I won't even

say goodbye. To anyone. Just

leave...

He is pensive and beautiful. Minnie kisses him.

MONROE (CONT’D)

Hey!

MINNIE:

What?

MONROE:

What’d I tell you? Minnie. We gotta

lay low.

(MORE)

Green (01/19/2014) 45aA.

MONROE (CONT'D)

If you want to keep this thing up,

you can't call so much attention to

us.

Yellow (01/16/2014) 45A45A.

MINNIE:

I can do what I want.

46.

She pulls on his belt.

MONROE:

Jesus, Minnie. Don’t.

MINNIE:

You afraid the sailor will hear us?

You chicken?

MONROE:

(taking the bait)

Oh. Someone’s asking for it. Aren’t

you? Maybe you need to be

restrained, huh?

He goes for her, she runs, bounding over the little table.

MINNIE:

Don’t touch me, you big fat lout.

He grabs her, and throws her over his shoulder, she kicks,

loving this.

MONROE:

Ahh. Yer getting feisty, huh? Stop

wiggling. I’ve got you.

Monroe throws her onto the boat’s bed, pinning her down.

MONROE (CONT’D)

Is that what you want? That’s what

you want, huh?

Minnie squirms and screams, playfully.

MINNIE:

(playful)

Help! I’m being raped!

Monroe covers her mouth with his hand. He stares at her,

holding her down. She is loving this. She bites his hand.

MONROE:

Ow. Damnit.

He pins her arms down, and starts kissing her neck and

stomach. Minnie’s body quivers under his kisses.

47.

65 EXT. MARINA - BOAT - CONTINUOUS 65

The boat rocks back and forth in the marina, while the owner

of the boat nods off in a folding chair on the dock.

CUT TO:

66 INT. MONROE’S APARTMENT - EVENING 66

Minnie and Monroe lie in his bed, post-coital. Monroe is

looking at Minnie’s notebook of drawings, while she waits for

his response, wrapped in his arms.

MONROE:

You shouldn’t really show these to

people.

MINNIE:

Why?

MONROE:

I mean... it’s just gonna weird

people out. It’s so... freaky.

(then)

Are they supposed to be sexy?

Monroe closes the book, tossing it off the bed. Pause.

MONROE (CONT’D)

So, who’s that boy?

MINNIE:

Who? You mean Ricky Wasserman?

MONROE:

I guess. What is he, Jewish?

MINNIE:

What’dyou care?

MONROE:

I gotta take you home.

MINNIE:

No.

MONROE:

Minnie.

MINNIE:

No, no, no. I don’t wanna go yet.

48.

MONROE:

Minnie, it’s time.

MINNIE:

But Monroe...

MONROE:

(mimicking)

But Minnie...

MINNIE:

Why are you trying to get rid of

me?

MONROE:

Oh my god.

Minnie slips out of the bed.

MINNIE:

It’s not fair. I never see you. I’m

not leaving. I’m gonna run down the

hall completely naked. I bet your

neighbor will see me.

She makes a dash for the door, and Monroe, also somewhat

naked jumps up after her, slamming the door before she can

get out. He grabs her.

MONROE:

Stop it, Minnie. This is not funny.
