She kisses him, winning him over.

MINNIE:

Monroe, will you tell me about your

parents?

MONROE:

What? No.

MINNIE:

But you tell my mother everything

about your life. Please?

Monroe wriggles out of Minnie’s grasp, walks away.

MONROE:

No. You’re f***ing hyper, Minnie.

I’m taking you home.

Monroe starts dressing.

49.

MINNIE:

No. Monroe! Come BACK here.

(then)

Hey. I SAID:
COME BACK HERE!

Her shouts stop him in his tracks. He turns to Minnie, who

stands naked and serious with her hands on her hips. She is a

sight. He looks at her like “what?”.

MINNIE (CONT’D)

I think we need to talk about our

relationship.

MONROE:

We do?

MINNIE:

I’m serious.

MONROE:

I know you are.

MINNIE:

Don’t laugh at me.

MONROE:

Okay.

Minnie runs to him, punching him hard.

MINNIE:

Don’t laugh at me.

Monroe contains her flailing.

MINNIE (CONT’D)

Don’t-

MONROE:

Hey. Calm down.

MINNIE:

Get your hands off of me or-

MONROE:

Yeah, or what?

MINNIE:

Or I’m gonna tell my mother!

Pause. Monroe drops Minnie’s shoulders, turning away.

MINNIE (CONT’D)

What?

Yellow (01/16/2014) 5050.

MONROE:

Don’t.

MINNIE:

You can’t take it?

MONROE:

Get dressed, Minnie.

MINNIE:

NO.

MONROE:

I’m taking you home.

MINNIE:

What?

MONROE:

You ruined it. You’re a f***ing

child, Minnie. I should tell your

mother.

MINNIE:

Go ahead!

MONROE:

Maybe I will. Maybe I will, Minnie.

You think you can manipulate me

like that? What are you trying at?

Huh? You’re not supposed to do

that, not you. Not you. F***.

He explodes, and storms off. There is a long pause. Minnie

has started crying. Eventually, Monroe notices.

MONROE (CONT’D)

Oh, god.

He takes a deep breath, and goes to her. He wraps her into a

reluctant hug. She sobs on his shoulder.

MINNIE:

I hate you.

MONROE:

No you don’t.

MINNIE:

Yes I do. I hate you more than

anything.

Yellow (01/16/2014) 5151.

Monroe rocks with her, while she cries.

MONROE:

Well. I like you.

Minnie cries.

67 EXT. SAN FRANCISCO - BAY 67

Shots of San Francisco, in all its beauty.

68 INT. MINNIE’S HOUSE - BEDROOM - DAY 68

C/U on Minnie’s face, almost screaming. Is she upset or

excited?

MINNIE (V.O.)

F*** Monroe. He was too old for me

anyway. It was kinda sick, if you

think about it. Dirty old man.

Widen out, Minnie and Kimmie are dancing, jumping on the bed,

and singing at the top of their lungs along to The Rolling

Stones.

MINNIE/KIMMIE

(singing)

But BAAAAABYYYY BABY....

Minnie does a jump-kick off of the bed. Kimmie flips her hair

around.

MINNIE/KIMMIE (CONT’D)

(singing)

I don’t need no jewels in my crown.

Yellow (01/16/2014) 5252.

Kimmie picks up the album cover and starts licking the

picture of Jagger on the cover.

KIMMIE:

Minnie- look at me! Look

She licks the crotch of the album.

MINNIE:

EWWWW! What’re you doing?

KIMMIE:

Oh my god! I swear I feel Mick

Jagger’s dick. Minnie you gotta try

this. Just lick his dick right

through his pants- try it! It

really feels like there's something

there!

Minnie takes the record, and skeptically licks.

MINNIE:

Oh my god! It does feel like he has

a dick in there. Ohhh. And it's

hard too!

Kimmie turns the music down and plops on the floor.

KIMMIE:

I would suck Mick Jagger’s dick.

MINNIE:

Really? Doesn’t he seem a little

gay to you?

KIMMIE:

What? No! He’s androgenous. It’s

hot.

Kimmie reaches for a joint and relights it. She inhales. They

pass the joint between them.

KIMMIE (CONT’D)

I’m not gonna see you for like

three weeks.

Blue (12/17/2013) 52A52A.

MINNIE:

Sh*t.

KIMMIE:

Will you write to me while I’m

visiting colleges back east?

Minnie pulls a package of letters out from her desk drawer.

MINNIE:

I wrote you a few letters so you

can space them out during your

trip.

KIMMIE:

Thanks!

Kimmie hugs her. Minnie lies back, getting stoned.

KIMMIE (CONT’D)

What’dyou think you’re gonna do?

MINNIE:

About what?

KIMMIE:

College?

53.

This hits Minnie.

MINNIE:

I have no idea.

KIMMIE:

Oh hey. You know that mixed couple

I baby-sit for?

(Minnie shakes her head)

Well anyway, the dad, Marcus? Is

black-

MINNIE:

God, I love black guys. They look

so tough and they always smell so

gutsy.

KIMMIE:

I give him blow-jobs all the time.

MINNIE:

No way.

KIMMIE:

Yeah. He comes home from bowling

early, while his skinny white wife

is still out with her girlfriends

and I suck his dick until tears

come to my eyes. I have to put

Vaseline all over my lips because

his dick is so big it feels like my

mouth is going to rip at the

corners.

MINNIE:

What? Wait, how big is it really?

Kimmie motions about eleven inches, and thick. She and Minnie

laugh.

KIMMIE:

He wants to screw me but I’m way

too scared.

Minnie’s mind is blown.

MINNIE (V.O.)

And now, the making of a harlot.

A Comic San Francisco. The Golden Gate Bridge peeks up out of

the fog in small pyramids.

She looked every bit the harlot she

was bound to become, with her

brassiere straps exposed, with her

tight pants that rode up snugly at

the crotch, almost like a horse,

when viewed from behind. He was a

beautiful junior, rich and famous

in high-school. His name? Ricky

Wasserman. What is he, Jewish?

sex with you that scares me,

Minnie. You’re just so passionate.

MINNIE:

(in a deep “giant” voice)

What?

ANIMATED RICKY:

(squeaky)

I mean, I just have neverexperienced someone who had sexlike that.
