Very Bad Things Page #12

KNOCK KNOCK:

The five men stop breathing. Somebody's at the door.

KNOCK KNOCK:

Stunned silence. The guys stare at each other in horror.

RALPH (O.S.)

Hello? Is anyone in there?

Boyd races to the door, eyes the peephole.

BOYD'S POV, through the peephole, outside in the hall, a

man. RALPH, early 30's, fairly unassuming.

BOYD:

(calls out)

What is it?

RALPH (O.S.)

Ah, yeah, hi. Is Tina there?

Adam throws his head in his hands.

BOYD:

(through door)

What?

RALPH (O.S.)

I'm with Tina. Is she there?

Boyd indicates to the guys to be cool.

BOYD:

She's not here.

RALPH (O.S.)

Where is she?

BOYD:

She's here. She's just... Hold on a

second.

Boyd turns as the guys freak. Crazed bits of panicked

conversation -- GIBBERISH.

KNOCK KNOCK.

RALPH (O.S.)

Could you open the door please.

Boyd moves back to the door, slowly, opens it. Ralph steps

in. Takes a good look around.

RALPH'S POV of the fairly destroyed hotel room and five

severely traumatized men.

RALPH:

Okay. Hi.

SILENCE.

RALPH:

So who's the lucky guy?

PAUSE.

BOYD:

Who?

RALPH:

The groom?

FISHER:

Me.

RALPH:

Cool...

(beat)

You all dudes from L.A.?

BOYD:

Yup.

RALPH:

Doing the bachelor party thing?

BOYD:

That's right.

RALPH:

Sin City. Devil's Playground. The

Black B*tch. All day every day.

(beat)

Where's Tina?

BOYD:

She's in the bathroom... she's still

working.

RALPH:

She's still working?

BOYD:

That's right.

RALPH:

Sweet deal.

SILENCE. Ralph checks the rest of the guys. Some strange eye

contact. Extremely uncomfortable.

RALPH:

Is everything okay?

BOYD:

Great. Fine. Perfect.

More SILENCE.

RALPH:

(indicating bathroom)

I'm gonna just tell her I'm waiting.

He starts for the bathroom.

BOYD:

She's in there!

RALPH:

I'm just gonna let her know I'm here.

And Ralph is on his way to the bathroom. And the guys are

freaking as Ralph moves through the bedroom up towards the

bathroom. Hand on door -- opening door -- stepping in -- and

Ralph sees Tina.

RALPH, in shock, staring, back-peddles...

RALPH:

My God!

As Ralph starts to turn --

FISHER (O.S.)

No! NOOOO!!!

ON BOYD -- his Boy Scout knife raised above his head --

driving it into Ralph's neck!

MAJOR ARTERIAL SPRAY as Ralph's jugular is severed. Ralph

struggles. Boyd wrestles him back toward the bathroom.

BOYD:

Help me! Don't let him bleed on the

carpet!

And MOORE is there. Helping Boyd wrestle the SCREAMING

thrashing Ralph into the bathroom. Ralph fights like a gilled

Marlin. They shove him into the bathroom. Boyd slams the

door shut. Holds it tight as Ralph tries to force it back

open.

BOYD:

He'll bleed out! He'll bleed dry.

Help me hold the door.

And help they do. Michael, Moore and Adam all hold the door

shut as Ralph continues to fight for his life. Slowly the

force of his POUNDING eases. We hear Ralph slowing down...

The thrashing slows... softer... The MOANS quiet... softer...

Just a slight GURGLE... Ralph is going... going... Ralph is

gone.

AT THE DOOR:

Eight hands slowly peel off the bathroom door. Devastating

SILENCE as the guys attempt to process this, the latest of

developments... with Fisher staring, blotto.
