CAMERA ON:
I/E. BACKYARD - SUBURBAN HOUSE - JUDY'S BEDROOM - NIGHT
POV of a HOME VIDEO CAMERA shooting into the window of
teenage girl's bedroom.
The door inside opens. In walks JUDY OAKS-KELLEN (18), a
blond haired, mousy girl, wearing only a T-shirt and panties.
As she heads to the mirror we hear...
Sound of skin smacking against skin and heavy breathing.
Whoever operates the camera is definitely CHOAKIN' THE
GOPHER.
Judy combs her hair in the mirror, oblivious.
The camera operator is in a whack off frenzy as he...
CAMERA OPERATOR (O.C.)
Oh, mmph.
He's climaxed.
The sounds have stopped, but the tape keeps rolling. Judy
stops combing her hair as...
Camera shuts down.
CAMERA ON:
EXT. HIGH SCHOOL - THE TRACK - DAY
Camera shoots from inside a car hidden camera style as Judy
runs laps during her gym class. Judy, again, has no idea
that she is being filmed as camera zooms in tight.
She's tired, sweating profusely, and looks completely
miserable. She stops running, exhausted, as the other kids
pass her.
Suddenly, a very Butch looking female GYM TEACHER (40) walks
over and begins BERATING Judy. The Gym Teacher's face turns
red as she spews insults inches away from Judy's face.
We can't hear what she's saying, but whatever it is, it's
cruel, harsh, and very intense. Exhausted and humiliated,
Judy holds back tears as...
Camera shuts down.

I/E. JIMMY'S HOUSE - BACKYARD/KITCHEN/LIVING ROOM - DUSK
Late summer evening. Camera Operator wipes dirt from the
lens with his shirt revealing his face for the first time as
he looks at camera. This is the first time we get even a
glimpse of JIMMY WRIGHT (21). His looks are striking, even a
bit awkward, but not at all unappealing.
He throws a mischievously evil look at the lens, then settles
his face back to normal. He spins the camera away, pointing
it at the back of his house.
Through the kitchen window, Jimmy zooms in on his mother
(JIMMY'S MOM) (40's) idyllic version of a mom in new
millennium suburban housewife clothes. She's on the phone,
preparing dinner.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Hey Mom, heard you and Dad doing
the nasty last night. Thanks for
that one. By the way, who the fuck
is Nancy?
Camera whips over to JIMMY'S DAD in the LIVING ROOM, well
dressed, rich looking and fat in his late 40's, watching
baseball on TV, tired after a long day's work. He drinks
from a tumbler of expensive scotch neat with an ice cube,
munching on mixed nuts from a crystal bowl.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Hey Dad, Mom's on the phone telling
her friends that you're hung like a
light switch.
Dad reaches into his pants to give his balls a good scratch.
Jimmy gives the play by play like a baseball announcer.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Oh Daddy, there he goes. He makes
the reach and... yes! Both balls
at the same time! One heck of a
double play!
Eyes on the TV, Dad takes his hands out of his pants and
sniffs them.
JIMMY (O.C.)
And the sniff to finish it off.
Satisfied, Dad reaches in and grabs a handful of nuts as he
continues to watch TV. We zoom out to see both Mom and Dad,
each through different windows.
3.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Fucking freak show.
CAMERA ON:
INT. JIMMY'S HOUSE - JIMMY'S BEDROOM - NIGHT
Dark and in silhouette, Jimmy flips on the camera by remote.
It's too dark to see faces or bodies with any detail, but
Jimmy's clearly having sex with a PROSTITUTE in his bed. She
is young, black, and looks very much like a prostitute.
As he pounds into her...
JIMMY
Do you like that nigger? Come on
nigger, do you like it?
PROSTITUTE
(humors him)
Oh yeah baby, I like it.
By remote, Jimmy shuts down the camera.
CAMERA ON:
INT. JIMMY'S HOUSE - JIMMY'S BEDROOM - NIGHT
Jimmy's behind the camera interviewing the Prostitute who
sits up in his bed holding the sheets to cover herself. With
the lights on, we can see that she's clearly unattractive.
Jimmy asks his questions with a gentle confidence.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Okay, so. What was going through
your mind when I called you a
nigger?
PROSTITUTE
This costs you an extra fifty.
JIMMY (O.C.)
I know.
She pauses. You can tell she just wants to leave, but is
toughing it out for the extra fifty bucks.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Well, what did it feel like?
Long pause.
4.
PROSTITUTE
It felt like nothing.
JIMMY (O.C.)
What do you mean?
PROSTITUTE
You ain't the first person to call
me a nigger when we was fucking.
JIMMY (O.C.)
(not surprised)
Oh.
PROSTITUTE
Johns call me nigger all the time.
Especially white guys. Nothing
new. Just dirty talk.
Long, awkward pause. Jimmy Doesn't know what to say.
PROSTITUTE
That it?
No reply from Jimmy.
PROSTITUTE
What about you? You like calling
me nigger? You get your nut off?
JIMMY (O.C.)
(calmly)
No.
PROSTITUTE
Then why'd ya call me that?
JIMMY (O.C.) (O.C.)
Have you ever wondered what it was
like to treat someone so completely
cruel that it was unthinkable?
No answer.
JIMMY (O.C.)
I was trying to do the unthinkable
and unimaginable when I called you
that. I wanted to see if was even
possible for me to do that.
They pause.
5.
PROSTITUTE
Yeah, so?
Jimmy speaks softly and confidently.
JIMMY (O.C.)
I think I want to die. Like I
don't deserve to live anymore. And
that I will never want to do
something like that to someone
again.
The prostitute finds Jimmy's answer endearing.
PROSTITUTE
Why ya wanna die?
JIMMY (O.C.)
Because everyone hates me.
Pause.
JIMMY (O.C.)
They hate me because I seek beauty
and appreciate destruction. They
hate my mind, my thoughts, my
imagination. They hate everything
about me. And I hate them.
PROSTITUTE
(trying not to care)
Really?
JIMMY (O.C.)
Yep. Everyone. Everyone that
knows or who has ever met me.
PROSTITUTE
Your parents don't hate you. Look
at this room in this big 'ole house
you got.
JIMMY (O.C.)
My parents provide me with food and
shelter because they have been
conditioned by society into
thinking it's the appropriate thing
to do. In reality they can't stand
to be in the same room with me.
They're fascists, brainwashed, and
unforgiving.
(MORE)
6.
JIMMY (O.C.) (cont'd)
They dismiss my feelings of ill
regard towards them on simple
rebelliousness of youth, but that's
only because they are patently and
intentionally unaware of their own
hypocrisies.
Prostitute looks bored/frustrated again.
JIMMY (O.C.)
(accidental condescension)
Do you understand me?
PROSTITUTE
You wanna know what I think?
JIMMY
Yes, I really do.
PROSTITUTE
I think you're a spoiled ass white
boy, thinks you everything, but you
don't know shit. All you do is
bullshit complain and there's folks
out there that'd kill for all this.
Jimmy doesn't react.
PROSTITUTE
I don't feel sorry for you.
JIMMY (O.C.)
(calmly)
No one is asking you to. Thank you
for letting me film you.
Camera turns off.
CAMERA ON:
I/E. HIGH SCHOOL - PARKING LOT/JIMMY'S CAR - DAY
Jimmy hides hidden camera style inside his car in the high
school parking lot, bleachers in the distance. School is
letting out as he zooms in on Judy.
She's looking at the ground as she's taunted by a group of
Other Harassing Teenagers, a tear streaming down the side of
her cheek.
Suddenly, Judy is bashed in the face with a school bag. She
falls to the ground, then picks up her broken glasses as
camera zooms out to catch the Girl who hit her (Mean Girl).
7.
Nearby, a big, Dumb Looking Bully Type (18) taunts her as she
cries. His taunts are biting and as excessive as the Mean
Girl's, then he dumps a cup of soda on Judy's head as she's
crying.
Judy screams at the top of her lungs. The group runs off
laughing. Jimmy whip pans to the Mean Girl as she laughs
with her friends, then whips pans back to Judy, now on her
feet, blood running from her nose and onto her white shirt.
Camera shuts down.
CAMERA ON:
I/E. JUDY'S HOUSE - JUDY'S BEDROOM - NIGHT
A scene we've seen before. Jimmy is off camera videotaping
Judy through her bedroom window. We hear him FLOGGIN' THE
DOLPHIN off screen while Judy combs her hair in the mirror.
She stops when she hears...
A Grown Man, (45), walks into the doorway of her bedroom.
This is JUDY'S DAD. He comes in and doesn't say a thing to
her. Judy doesn't acknowledge him at all and continues
combing her hair as though he's not even there.
He comes up behind her, then wraps his arms around her,
giving her a warm hug from behind. Something's not right.
The masturbation sounds STOP.
Judy's noticeably uncomfortable but doesn't resist as her
Father begins kissing her neck. His hand slowly creeps down
to her pelvic area, his other hand turning out the bedroom
light. The room goes dark.
Camera flips down, then OFF...
Then COMES BACK ON AGAIN
Once again we're looking through the camera pointing at the
window, but now it's the distorted, grainy, black and white
of "Nite Shot" mode. Though we see the Judy's mirror and her
dresser, she and her Father are nowhere to be found.
Whatever's going on between them, it's going on out of frame,
away from the view of the window. Camera shuts down.
CAMERA ON:
8.
INT. JIMMY'S HOUSE - DINING ROOM - NIGHT
Jimmy films once again, hidden camera style, long lens from
far away. Frame is close on Judy sitting at the dining room
table.
As camera pulls back, we HEAR but don't see Judy's Parents
talking to Jimmy's Mom and Dad at the table. Judy is bored,
completely uninterested in their conversation.
JIMMY'S MOM (O.C.)
So Melissa talked Gary into the SL
instead of the seven series. I
couldn't believe it.
Judy looks over at camera, catching the fact that she's being
videotaped. Jimmy keeps filming.
JIMMY'S DAD (O.C.)
They paid way too much.
As Jimmy zooms in, she clandestinely flips off the camera.
JUDY'S DAD
I strictly buy American anyway.
Judy gets up. Her mom stops her.
JUDY'S MOM (O.C.)
Where you going honey?
JUDY
Bathroom.
As Judy leaves the table she walks towards camera as it shuts
down.
CAMERA ON:
INT. JIMMY'S HOUSE - JIMMY'S BEDROOM - NIGHT
Judy sits on Jimmy's bed, staring into the camera. She's
uncomfortable sitting there. It's poorly framed.
JUDY
Can we start already?
JIMMY (O.C.)
One second.
Camera shuts off.
9.
INT. JIMMY'S HOUSE - JIMMY'S BEDROOM - DAY
Jimmy films Judy again, better framing this time. Judy looks
annoyed and uncomfortable in front of the camera.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Who do you hate most in the world
and why?
JUDY
(kind of bitchy)
Why? Who cares?
JIMMY (O.C.)
I do.
JUDY
God, I just wanted to come up here
to say "hi" and get away from my
parents' bullshit for like two
seconds and you have to put the
stupid camera in my face.
Jimmy takes delight in Judy's displeasure of being filmed.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Now we're onto something.
Judy wants to go and then doesn't.
JUDY
You're weird Jimmy. You were weird
when we were kids and now you're
just getting weirder.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Is that why you had a crush on me?
JUDY
(scoffs)
Yeah right.
JIMMY (O.C.)
You didn't have a crush on me?
Judy fidgets, he's got her.
JUDY
You're a loser. You're twenty one
and you're still living with your
parents.
She's waiting for a response. Jimmy doesn't bite.
10.
JUDY
I heard that you got kicked out of
college because you tried to talk
your roommate into killing himself.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Where'd you hear that?
JUDY
From everyone.
Jimmy waits. Judy's curious how he'll respond.
JIMMY (O.C.)
You wanna know the truth?
JUDY
Yeah.
JIMMY (O.C.)
He asked me if he should kill
himself. I told him to look inside
himself for the answer. I didn't
tell him to. I didn't tell him not
to. I said he shouldn't be afraid
of the unknown. If he was going to
kill himself, I wanted him to do it
for the right reasons.
JUDY
I swear to God, you're a fucking
psycho.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Like you're normal.
JUDY
More than you.
JIMMY (O.C.)
If I'm such a freak, what are you
doing in my room?
JUDY
I was bored.
Jimmy waits, assessing the situation.
JIMMY (O.C.)
I wanna show you something?
11.
Judy looks up at the camera. Before she can answer, camera
shuts down.
CAMERA ON:
INT. JIMMY'S HOUSE - JIMMY'S BEDROOM - NIGHT
Judy sits on the edge of Jimmy's bed facing a television set.
Jimmy films from behind her so he gets Judy's back and the
television in the shot. The screen is static.
JUDY
I can't believe I'm doing this.
Nothing's happening. Judy's getting antsy.
JUDY
(offended; turns to
camera)
Can you start the tape?
Jimmy clicks the VCR with his remote, as Judy turns back to
watch. On TV, static flips to black.
JUDY
Don't think this means I like you
or anything.
A few seconds. Nothing on TV yet.
JUDY
And as soon as this is over I'm
going back downstairs.
An image flips on the TV.
BEGIN JIMMY'S REVENGE TAPE
EXT. HIGH SCHOOL - TEACHER'S PARKING LOT - (ON JIMMY'S TV) -
DAY
Someone (Jimmy) has placed the camera on the ground and is
facing a car in a parking lot at school.
JIMMY (O.C.)
(in bedroom)
That's Mrs. Holzclaw's car. She's
your P.E. teacher, right? I hated
her too.
Jimmy enters frame and punches a Butterfly Knife into the
sidewall of Mrs. Holzclaw's car sending air HISSING as the
tire sinks.
12.
JIMMY (O.C.)
And Bill McAllister... I went to
school with his brother. They're
both dicks.
Tape cuts to...
EXT. HIGH SCHOOL - ENTRANCE (ON JIMMY'S TV) - DAY
On TV, hidden camera style (long lens from a distance) the
Dumb Looking Bully Type (Bill McAllister) is taken out of
school in cuffs into a waiting Squad Car.
JIMMY (O.C.)
(in bedroom)
I planted an ounce of weed in his
locker then sent an anonymous
letter to Principal Lipsky.
EXT. HIGH SCHOOL - ENTRANCE (ON JIMMY'S TV) - DAY
Same location, different day. On TV, again hidden camera
style, a girl is being rolled out of the school on a
stretcher. It's the Mean Girl, the one who smacked Judy in
the face with her school bag.
She's placed into an ambulance.
JIMMY (O.C.)
I took care of her too.
Jimmy clicks the television set off with his remote.
END JIMMY'S REVENGE TAPE
INT. JIMMY'S HOUSE - JIMMY'S BEDROOM - DAY
The TV is off. All we see is Judy's back. She hasn't once
turned around to face the camera during any of the clips.
She sits still.
She trembles but doesn't turn around. She collects herself
but still doesn't turn around. Jimmy holds the camera
steady.
Still she doesn't turn around.
She fidgets in her seat but still doesn't turn around.
She now sits still on the edge of the bed like she is in a
trance, but still doesn't turn around to face the camera.
13.
No movement.
No movement.
No movement.
She begins to breath heavily.
Then no movement.
She leans her head down towards the floor.
Then no movement.
Still no movement or any reaction for that matter. It's like
she is in a trance and can't wake up.
Jimmy (O.C.) continues to roll without budging.
Still no movement.
It looks like she's about to turn around. She moves her head
in the direction of the camera, then assumes her original
position facing the TV.
Then... no movement.
Still no movement.
Then Judy collapses onto the bed. Jimmy, still rolling, gets
off the bed and begins filming her as she lies on the floor
crying hysterically.
Judy cries and cries and cries and cries. She then lets out
a cry from the depths of her soul. The cry is long, hard,
and loud.
Jimmy gets up, then stands above her with the camera.
She rolls over on her back and is now facing directly into
the camera. She tries to collect herself.
JUDY
Why did you do that?
JIMMY (O.C.)
I had to.
JUDY
Why?
JIMMY (O.C.)
I did it for you.
14.
JUDY
I don't understand.
Judy tries hard to stop, but just sobs harder and louder than
before.
JUDY
Please tell me.
JIMMY (O.C.)
I felt like if I didn't save you
then no one else would.
JUDY
(screams)
Please turn off the FUCKING CAMERA!
A muffled voice comes through the door from downstairs.
JIMMY'S DAD (O.C.)
Jimmy! What the hell are you guys
doing up there?
Judy stops, realizing suddenly that she's been screaming.
Camera shuts down.
CAMERA ON:
INT. JIMMY'S HOUSE - STAIRWAY/ENTRYWAY/LIVING ROOM - NIGHT
Jimmy's behind the camera. He stands at the head of the
stairs shooting down. Sounds of a dinner party just getting
started come from downstairs. He walks down the steps into
the party.
A generic "Happy Twentieth Anniversary" sign hangs above the
front door. Camera pans awkwardly to a lame K-Mart style
studio portrait on the wall. It's Jimmy's parents wearing
saccharine sweet smiles, Dad's hair slicked back, Mom in an
overdone hair-do and in way too colorful clothing.
Gifts sit on the entry-way table. Party Guests are dressed
nicely and are mingling in the house, drinks in hand. Dinner
is yet to start. As Jimmy moves into the...
ENTRY-WAY
People at the party all turn to camera, a look of shock on
their faces as Jimmy walks through.
More and more people react with gasps and revulsion at
camera, but we can't tell why. Jimmy moves camera to the...
15.
LIVING ROOM
The place is full of More Party Guests. Frame moves across a
huge mirror on the wall over a cocktail bar. We catch a
glimpse of Jimmy's image and realize...
Jimmy is completely NAKED and has PAINTED HIS ENTIRE BODY
SILVER.
Camera quickly turns away from the mirror as some people run
from the room.
One of the Female Party Guests (#1) SCREAMS.
FEMALE PARTY GUEST #1
(covers her mouth)
Oh my God!
Jimmy keeps filming, catching people's reactions.
He points the camera at a Female Party Guest #2.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Hey, great party, huh? I'm making
a tape for my parents. Want to say
something to them?
Female Party Guest #2 is just too stunned to speak.
JIMMY'S MOM (O.C.)
Jimmy!
Jimmy turns the camera at his mother who is completely
shocked to see him like this.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Hey Mom. Happy anniversary. You
want to say anything to yourself?
JIMMY'S DAD
That's enough.
Jimmy's Dad runs into the room and throws a blanket over
Jimmy's head, body and the camera. All we see is black and
flashes of light from under the blanket.
JIMMY'S DAD (O.C.)
(muffled)
Get out! Now!
16.
Camera's under the blanket as we hear Jimmy's Dad pushes him
from the room. Camera shuts down.
CAMERA ON:
INT. THERAPIST'S OFFICE - DAY
Camera is being removed from the camera bag. As the lens
pans quickly, we catch a glimpse of Jimmy smirking, holding
the camera. He's way too close to the lens.
He flips it around until it locks on DR. WALTERS, MFCC (40),
Jimmy's not very accomplished therapist. Walters seems to
have a very gentle and nonthreatening aura that suggests he's
the type of person you would feel comfortable talking to. He
sits by the window in his relatively uninteresting office.
Jimmy has turned on the camera in the middle of their first
session together.
DR. WALTERS
Jimmy, we discussed this. You
can't tape our sessions. It's not
allowed.
The camera doesn't move.
DR. WALTERS
You know, you can't film someone
who doesn't want their image and
voice recorded. Technically,
you're actually breaking the law.
Jimmy (O.C.) doesn't respond.
DR. WALTERS
Does your defiance make you feel
more powerful?
Still no answer.
DR. WALTERS
Filming people makes you feel like
you're in control of the situation
doesn't it?
Still no answer.
DR. WALTERS
I can sit here as long as you can.
You're not going to be able to
force me to participate in your
little game here.
17.
No movement from the camera.
DR. WALTERS
Jimmy, this isn't something that
friends do to each other is it?
Dr. Walters sits in front of the camera, trying to stay
perfectly still and calm.
Dr. Walters is so nice and so calm, that we start to feel
sorry for him.
No movement.
No movement.
Dr. Walters fidgets.
Then holds still.
Then fidgets, trying to stay calm.
DR. WALTERS
Jimmy, put the camera away, please.
No movement.
DR. WALTERS
You're wasting your time and mine,
Jimmy. We could be doing something
productive.
The camera shakes a bit. Jimmy's laughing.
Dr. Walters is doing his best to stay calm.
DR. WALTERS
That's enough.
No movement.
DR. WALTERS
Put it away.
Nothing.
DR. WALTERS
Now Jimmy!
Dr. Walters gets up and comes towards the camera. He grabs
it just above the lens and tries to take it away.
18.
DR. WALTERS
Come on Jimmy.
A fierce battle of tug of war breaks out. We see Dr. Walters
becoming increasingly pissed off.
The back and forth is suddenly getting violent, until...
DR. WALTERS
Gimme the Goddamn fucking camera!
Dr. Walters finally gets the camera free from Jimmy. Camera
shuts off.
CAMERA ON:
INT. JIMMY'S HOUSE - JIMMY'S BEDROOM/UPSTAIRS HALLWAY - DAY
Jimmy's behind the camera, moving quickly down the hall to...
JIMMY'S BEDROOM
Judy is sitting on his bed. She sees Jimmy come in with the
camera and freaks out.
JUDY
No. No filming. I'm leaving, I
swear.
Judy gets up to go.
JIMMY
Okay, okay. Wait.
As Jimmy gets up to stop her, camera shuts off.
CAMERA ON:
INT. JIMMY'S HOUSE - JIMMY'S BEDROOM - DAY
Jimmy is filming Judy, who is sitting on his bed. Her face
is red, her eyes have watered up, and her nose is snotty and
running from after an intense session of crying. Jimmy is
catching her seconds after she's has finally composed
herself.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Say what you said to me before.
JUDY
I don't know how I said it.
19.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Paraphrase it then.
JUDY
Do what?
JIMMY (O.C.)
Say it like you did before but it
doesn't have to be exactly the
same.
JUDY
You mean paraphrase it.
JIMMY (O.C.)
That's what I said.
JUDY
I didn't hear you.
Judy stares off camera.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Are you ready?
JUDY
I'm waiting for you.
JIMMY (O.C.)
OK.
JUDY
Tell me when.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Now.
JUDY
You want me to paraphrase it?
JIMMY (O.C.)
(impatient)
Yes!
Judy thinks for a beat.
JUDY
I can't remember what I said.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Then just ad-lib.
20.
JUDY
Ad-lib?
JIMMY (O.C.)
Yes.
Judy thinks for a beat.
JUDY
I don't know what that means.
JIMMY (O.C.)
(getting frustrated)
It means make it up.
JUDY
(confused)
Do you want me to make something up
or paraphrase what I did the first
time?
This isn't working. The camera drops from Judy.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Let's take a break.
Camera shuts down.
CAMERA ON:
INT. JIMMY'S HOUSE - JIMMY'S BEDROOM - DAY
Camera's on a tripod. Jimmy sits in a chair, the back of his
shoulder foregrounds Judy.
JUDY
I'm not good on camera. It makes
me nervous.
JIMMY
Forget about the camera. Talk to
me.
JUDY
OK.
JIMMY
Tell me what you said earlier.
About me about how you felt when
you saw the video.
21.
JUDY
(relaxes)
It felt like someone had been
reading my mind.
She stops.
JIMMY
Go on.
JUDY
It was like someone had jumped into
my head and watched what was being
projected.
Now Judy completely has forgotten that the camera is there.
JIMMY
And earlier, what you said about
God.
Jimmy zooms in the camera by remote. Judy's distracted.
JIMMY
(off her look)
Tell me.
Judy refocuses.
JUDY
I said that it felt like God had
sent someone to protect me, and to
look out for me.
She looks at Jimmy as if he is an angel.
JUDY
And I said that you are the only
person in my life who has ever
looked after me like that.
Judy tries to stifle tears, but they're starting to flow
again. As camera zooms in further, Judy catches sight of
Jimmy's finger on the remote and BLOWS HER FUCKING TOP,
leaping from her chair.
JUDY
God, I hate it when you film me
crying!
Judy goes for the camera, struggling to get it off the
tripod, she finally frees it and points it at Jimmy.
22.
JUDY (O.C.)
How do you like it, huh? How do
you like having a camera shoved
right up your ass?
Camera's framed poorly, moves around a lot, goes in and out
of focus, etc.
JUDY (O.C.)
Do you like it? Do you?
JIMMY
I don't like it or dislike. I'm
used to it.
Judy moves the camera directly in his face. The lens is
millimeters away from his nose. We see an extreme close up
of his nostrils.
JIMMY
Generally I'd place the camera
further away from my nose, but if
this is your preferred shooting
style then I guess I'll have to
adjust to it.
Jimmy leans in and rests his nose on the lens.
JIMMY
How's this work for you?
Judy pulls back and continues filming him.
JUDY (O.C.)
Give me a break.
JIMMY
OK.
Now Judy's the interviewer. Her framing is not quite as
adept as Jimmy's.
JUDY (O.C.)
So... why do you have to film
everything?
JIMMY
I don't film everything.
JUDY (O.C.)
Why do you like to film me crying?
23.
JIMMY
I don't.
JUDY (O.C.)
Then why do you?
JIMMY
Because it's rare that I get to
find someone that lets their
emotions go. When a person is
crying, I mean truly crying, or
truly laughing or smiling or
frowning or gasping. For a few
seconds or minutes I get a chance
to see that person's soul. And
really, now that you've forced me
to think about it. I think it's a
very rare and beautiful thing to be
afforded that opportunity.
Judy is shaken and speechless.
JIMMY
Anything else?
Judy's moved and forgets herself. Camera drops from Jimmy.
JUDY (O.C.)
Why me?
Jimmy helps her put the camera back up on him.
JIMMY
Because.
Jimmy sits still. Judy doesn't know what to do with that.
JIMMY
Why do you think?
Judy doesn't have an answer.
Jimmy reaches forward and takes the camera away from her and
turns the interview around.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Why you and why me? Why are we
together right now?
Judy doesn't know what to say.
24.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Go ahead say it. I want you to. I
know what you're going to say so
just say it.
JUDY
Stop.
JIMMY (O.C.)
(soft)
Tell me.
Judy fidgets.
JIMMY (O.C.)
(bullies her)
Tell me!
Judy fidgets again, then...
JUDY
(blows her top)
Because we're both fucking weird!
Judy pauses. The pressure of the camera from Jimmy makes her
feel like she has to give him more.
JUDY
Because we're the two weirdest kids
in the world. And God made us for
each other and I fucking love you,
and you did all this because you
love me too, and fuck everyone and
everything that doesn't get it!
Judy's out of breath. Camera still points at her.
JUDY
That's right, right?
Judy stares back at the camera, longing for an answer from
Jimmy. She told him she loved him. Camera shuts down.
CAMERA ON:
I/E. HIGHWAY FIRST-KISS-SMILEY-FACE/JIMMY'S CAR - DAY
Jimmy is driving in his car with Judy in the passenger seat.
Judy has the camera and she is interviewing Jimmy as he
drives.
JUDY (O.C.)
Where are you taking me?
25.
JIMMY
To a beautiful place.
JUDY (O.C.)
Where?
JIMMY
Chuck E. Cheese.
Judy and Jimmy laugh together.
JUDY (O.C.)
No seriously.
JIMMY
I can't tell you. It'll ruin it.
JUDY (O.C.)
Fine.
Judy sulks for a second.
JUDY (O.C.)
Jimmy, can I ask you something?
JIMMY
Anything.
JUDY (O.C.)
Do you hate your parents?
JIMMY
Yes, but I understand them.
JUDY (O.C.)
What's to understand?
JIMMY
Lots of things.
JUDY (O.C.)
Like what?
JIMMY
I understand that my ascension into
young adulthood triggered their
descent into mid-life crisis.
Generally when an only child leaves
the nest, the parents begin
reassessing their own lives. They
see us as a younger, better version
of themselves.
(MORE)
26.
JIMMY (cont'd)
They feel abandoned by our need for
privacy and insecure because we no
longer seek their approval. They
used to take us to baseball games
and cover our scrapes with
bandages, but once we no longer
need Mom to nurture our bruises or
Dad to be our hero it puts their
roles and subsequent sense of self
worth into question.
JUDY (O.C.)
How do you know all these things?
JIMMY
When you don't have any friends,
don't play sports, don't go out,
have no one talk to, nowhere to go,
no one to listen to you, or no one
to help you figure things out, you
sort of have to figure things out
by yourself. And without any of
those things I have nothing but
time to think about stuff.
JUDY (O.C.)
You are SO smart.
JIMMY
You are so beautiful.
Long pause. Judy doesn't know how to react.
JUDY (O.C.)
You think I'm pretty?
JIMMY
I think you're the most beautiful
person I have ever met. The most
beautiful person in the universe.
JUDY (O.C.)
No one has ever told me that.
JIMMY
Get used to hearing it.
JUDY (O.C.)
Do you think I'm smart?
JIMMY
Yes.
27.
JUDY (O.C.)
Do you think I'm fat?
JIMMY
Yes.
JUDY (O.C.)
How could you say that? I only way
a hundred and ten pounds.
JIMMY
Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you said
flat. As in flat chested.
JUDY (O.C.)
I am not FLAT!
Judy smacks him.
JIMMY
Prove it.
JUDY (O.C.)
I don't have to prove it. Here
look.
O.C., Judy is sticking her chest out for Jimmy. He looks
away from the road to stare, her breasts filling out her top
nicely.
JIMMY
I still can't tell.
JUDY (O.C.)
I wear a full B cup.
JIMMY
Show me. Take em out.
JUDY (O.C.)
I am not going to take them out!
You take yours out.
JIMMY
It's already out.
Judy tilts the camera down.
IN A FLASH we see a lifelike dildo sticking out of Jimmy's
fly, a smiley face sticker covers the head. The camera
quickly shakes and spins off the image as Judy screams bloody
fucking murder.
28.
Jimmy laughs. Judy forgets the camera is on. She drops it
into her lap, fabric from her clothes covers the frame.
We can hear Jimmy and Judy laughing hysterically.
JUDY (O.C.)
I can't believe you did that.
JIMMY (O.C.)
That's why I did it. Now come on.
I showed you mine, let me see
yours.
We hear the rustling of Judy's clothing. Camera falls to her
feet on the floor of the car. There's silence. Off camera,
Judy's nervously showing Jimmy her breasts.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Wow. Give me the camera.
JUDY (O.C.)
No.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Please, pretty, pretty please with
sugar on top.
Judy grabs the camera. It's pointing in Jimmy's direction,
but she still doesn't realize it's on.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Here, I'll pull over.
Jimmy pulls over to the side of the road then takes the
camera. Jimmy frames up Judy.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Let me see 'em.
Judy has a naughty and flirtatious smile.
In the blink of an eye she suddenly lifts up her shirt and
exposes her bra, then pulls her shirt back down.
Jimmy protests.
JIMMY (O.C.)
That doesn't count. Come on, for
real this time.
JUDY
I'm embarrassed.
29.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Don't be. You can trust me.
Judy's not sure. Jimmy looks into her eyes, pouring it on.
JIMMY (O.C.)
You can. You can trust me with
your life.
Judy looks at him with a sense of admiration then hope.
JIMMY (O.C.)
(gently)
Please.
Judy gets the same sexy, naughty smile and lifts up her shirt
exposing the bra, keeping it there.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Will you take off your bra?
Judy looks nervous but gives in. She unhooks her bra from
the front and exposes her naked breasts for as long as she
can. Jimmy focusses the camera's attention on them. It's
too much for her. She quickly pulls her shirt back down.
Jimmy tilts up to a close up of Judy's face.
JUDY
(struggling)
I just realized something.
Judy's eyes are starting to well up as she tries not to cry.
JIMMY (O.C.)
What's the matter?
JUDY
I just showed you my breasts and I
saw your penis and we haven't even
kissed.
She starts tearing up.
JUDY
You haven't even asked me to be
your girlfriend and I did that.
I'm a slut.
(wiping her eyes)
I don't want to be a slut.
Jimmy sees she's crying.
30.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Will you be my girlfriend?
JUDY
Yes.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Can I kiss you?
JUDY
(sniffling)
Yes. Will you turn off the camera?
JIMMY (O.C.)
I want this moment to be captured
forever. I'd rather not kiss you
at all than waste the opportunity
to document the most beautiful
moment of my life.
Judy leans towards Jimmy, then suddenly attacks him and
shoves the camera to the side. They are making out
exuberantly. The camera shakes and wobbles. We can hear
heavy breathing and the two of them smashing up against the
interior of the car.
Jimmy finally has the camera in position. He has one of his
arms extended and now we can see the two of them kissing.
Judy's devouring him in that raging teenage hormone sort of
way.
JUDY
(whispers)
I wanna see your smiley face again.
We see and hear Judy whispering, her lips placed gently on
the inside of Jimmy's ear.
JUDY
(whispering)
Turn the camera off. Turn the
camera off. Turn it off.
Camera goes off.
CAMERA ON:
I/E. HIGHWAY FIRST-KISS-SMILEY-FACE/JIMMY'S CAR - DAY
Judy films Jimmy driving the car. He has a huge shit eating
grin on his face.
31.
JUDY (O.C.)
How do you feel?
JIMMY
Relaxed, happy, confident, studly,
excited, relieved, delighted... I
love you Judy.
JUDY (O.C.)
You do?
JIMMY
Very much so. I always have.
JUDY (O.C.)
Me too.
Long pause filled with sexual tension takes over.
JUDY (O.C.)
Do you want to pull over again?
Jimmy smiles. Of course he does. Camera goes off.
CAMERA ON:
EXT. BEAUTIFUL FARM - SHOTGUN SCENE - DAY
Judy films Jimmy as he FIRES a twelve gage pump action shot
gun off into the distance. After each shot he pumps then
FIRES again.
JIMMY
Are you getting this?
No response.
Jimmy FIRES another shot. His muscles are flexing as he
pumps the gage. He looks extremely violent and determined.
JIMMY
Come on. Are you getting this?
A very turned off Judy replies.
JUDY (O.C.)
This is where you wanted to take
me?
JIMMY
Yeah, what's the matter?
We can hear Judy crying. The camera shakes out of control.
32.
JUDY (O.C.)
I wanna go home.
Jimmy looks over towards the camera/Judy. He knows that he's
fucked up and he feels like complete shit.
Jimmy walks over to her, takes the camera and shuts it off.
CAMERA ON:
INT. JIMMY'S HOUSE - JIMMY'S BATHROOM - NIGHT
Jimmy is standing in front of a mirror and is videotaping his
own reflection.
He is talking to himself and into the camera.
JIMMY
Don't fuck this up. Please don't
fuck this up.
Now he is pleading with himself.
JIMMY
Just try to be normal.
(screaming)
Just be normal! God damn it why do
you have to fuck everything up?
He hasn't convinced himself.
JIMMY
Be normal. Be normal. Be normal!
Jimmy takes a breath, then shuts the camera down.
CAMERA ON:
INT. JIMMY'S HOUSE - JIMMY'S BEDROOM - NIGHT
Jimmy films Judy who lies next to him in the bed. Her face
is sweaty and red and he is still a tad out of breath. Jimmy
is capturing her literally seconds after they had sex.
She's somewhat bewildered, then she notices the camera.
She's starting to get used to it.
JUDY
(big smile)
Hi.
33.
JIMMY (O.C.)
So how do you feel now, right at
this moment?
Judy just sighs, basking in the afterglow.
JUDY
I don't know.
(trying)
That was soooo good.
JIMMY (O.C.)
You were good. What got into you?
JUDY
I don't know. I've just really
been wanting you lately. Really
bad.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Why's that?
Judy chuckles.
JUDY
I'm embarrassed. I can't say.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Now you have to tell me.
JUDY
It was after yesterday.
Jimmy is more than surprised.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Yesterday?
Judy speaks as if she is going to reveal a big secret. Very
quiet and cute in her mannerisms.
JUDY
Yeah, it was after I saw you shoot
that gun.
JIMMY (O.C.)
You were crying. I wanted to kill
myself after I did that. You were
scared and you were shaking. It
was the most awful thing I ever
did. I didn't think I'd ever see
you again.
34.
Judy thinks.
JUDY
I was scared at first. Really
scared. I didn't expect it to be
so loud and you looked so mean.
But then I got home and started
thinking about it. About how your
muscles looked and how dangerous it
all seemed. It made me like... all
excited, and like...
Judy looks for the right word.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Horny?
Judy laughs with embarrassment. Camera shakes as Jimmy hands
it to her.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Here. Hold this.
Judy turns the camera back on Jimmy as he leaps out of bed.
JUDY (O.C.)
Where you going?
JIMMY
One sec!
Jimmy's bare ass flashes us as he heads out the bedroom door.
Judy holds the camera as we hear Jimmy in the hallway. He
opens a closet door, fumbles through it, then busts back into
the bedroom, holding the shotgun he used out on the lake.
Jimmy zooms in on Jimmy's naked upper body as he stands in
front of her and begins pumping the gun and pulling the
trigger. Obviously the gun is not loaded.
JUDY (O.C.)
That is so hot!
JIMMY
My dad keeps it in his closet.
Here.
Jimmy gives Judy the gun. Now she's holding the gun and the
camera.
JUDY (O.C.)
It's heavy.
35.
Judy points the gun at Jimmy. She lowers it, aiming right at
his crotch just below frame.
JIMMY
Now I see the appeal. Give me the
camera.
Judy hands Jimmy the camera. Camera moves and shakes as she
hands it over.
Jimmy frames her up nicely. Now we see Judy topless,
pointing the gun directly at the lens of the camera.
JUDY
What do you think of this?
She brings the gun down, then takes the barrel of the gun and
places it between her breasts, squishing them together,
covering her nipples as she rubs the barrel between her
breasts.
JUDY
Do you like that?
JIMMY (O.C.)
Yes.
Judy takes the barrel of the gun from her breasts and near
her mouth. She starts rolling her tongue over the top of the
barrel slowly and seductively, then stops. It looks as if
she's about to perform full mock oral sex on the barrel of
the gun.
JIMMY (O.C.)
That is SO hot.
As she is about to start to move her mouth and lips over the
gun, then suddenly we hear a garage door open.
Jimmy throws the camera sideways down on the bed.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Fuck! It's my parents!
We are now seeing sideways rotated images of Jimmy and Judy
panicking, throwing on their clothes as fast as humanly
possible.
Jimmy grabs the camera off the bed and turns it off.
CAMERA ON:
36.
INT. JIMMY'S HOUSE - PARENTS' BEDROOM - DAY
Jimmy is hiding in the closet of his parents' bedroom. He
has the door of the closet cracked and puts the lens of the
camera through the crack.
Jimmy's Dad enters the room. He has no idea that he is being
filmed and that Jimmy is in the closet.
Jimmy's Dad walks over to the dresser, opens up the top
drawer and pulls something out. It's too dark in the room to
tell exactly what he's pulled out, but it appears to resemble
some sort of undergarment.
Jimmy's Dad begins undressing, then steps out of frame.
After a beat, he reappears. Now he's wearing nothing but a
sequined teddy. He's totally fat, hairy, and nasty looking.
He sits on the side of the bed, his back to us. Now we see
that what he grabbed out of the drawer was actually a pair of
fishnet stockings. He begins putting them on.
When he is finished putting on his panty hose, he gets up off
the bed and begins admiring his legs in a mirror. He begins
to gently stroke the sides of his legs, relishing the feel of
the hose over his hands and fingertips.
He seems to be lip syncing the words to a song and begins to
get all worked up. He shakes his hips and dances around the
room for a few seconds.
Now Jimmy's Dad goes to the dresser and pulls out a long
brunette wig from the back of his top drawer. Putting it on,
with the fishnet stockings, sequined teddy and long wig, he
has transformed himself into the world's fattest, ugliest,
hairiest, Cher look-a-like.
Someone else enters the room.
JIMMY'S DAD
Hi sweety.
Holy shit. It's Jimmy's Mom, and she's wearing a leather
dominatrix outfit!
JIMMY'S MOM
Are you ready for me, you fucking
slut?
JIMMY'S DAD
Not quite.
37.
JIMMY'S MOM
I don't feel like waiting. Hurry
up bitch. What do you have left to
do?
JIMMY'S DAD
I just need to put on my makeup.
As Jimmy's Mom exits frame, we see Jimmy's Dad go to the
mirror. He opens up the top drawer again and pulls out a
little makeup bag.
Jimmy's Mom re-enters, now wearing a mini leather biker's
hat, carrying a riding switch.
JIMMY'S MOM
Come on slut.
Jimmy's Dad finishes applying his lipstick and moves over to
the bed. By the way Jimmy's parents are behaving, it's as if
they've gone through this routine a thousand times.
Jimmy's Mom drifts off screen as Jimmy's Dad gets up on all
fours. Suddenly, we hear a SMACK as Jimmy's Mom hits Jimmy's
Dad on his ass with the switch.
He lets out deep pleasured groans as she continues SMACKING
him with the whip harder and harder. He yelps, squeals, and
gyrates his hips back and forth, then starts dry humping the
air until she stops.
Jimmy's Mom comes back through and out of frame. Jimmy's Dad
pushes his belly into the bed, groaning from the pain while
he waits for her return.
She comes back, moving quickly across the screen wearing an
enormous strap on dildo.
Disappearing out of frame again, Jimmy's Dad gets himself
ready for her one more time, ass up, on all fours on the bed.
From behind, we can see her hand as she hikes her husband's
dress up his back, then we see his face and hear him grunt as
she rips his fishnets off screen.
There's a pause. Nothing seems to be happening, but Jimmy's
Dad is bracing himself for something. His face tightens up.
Off screen, Jimmy's Mom has started mounting him from behind.
Jimmy can't take it any longer. As he slowly emerges from
the closet, his Mom notices Jimmy almost immediately. She
jumps off her husband, screaming bloody murder.
38.
Camera's shaky but it's easy to guess what's been happening.
Mom's just started doing Dad from behind with the strap on.
JIMMY
Hi mom. Hi dad. What are you guys
up to?
Jimmy's Dad leaps from the bed and begins shouting. He looks
completely absurd screaming at Jimmy wearing his sequined
dress and wig.
JIMMY'S DAD
What the fuck are you doing here?
Jimmy's Mom goes hysterical and begins screaming at Jimmy's
Dad.
JIMMY'S MOM
(to his dad)
I told you he would find out you
fucking freak! No wonder he's a
fucking psycho. Look a his father.
Jimmy's Dad is beside himself with fury and throws off his
wig.
JIMMY'S DAD
Turn off the that fucking camera!
Turn off that fucking camera right
fucking now god damn it!
Jimmy is loving it.
JIMMY
Gee dad, what do you say the two of
us go out to the front yard and
throw some ball together? We'll
have a nice friendly game of catch.
Jimmy's Dad attacks Jimmy. He swings at the lens. He's one
angry drag queen daddy. He begins strangling Jimmy.
JIMMY'S DAD
You little mother fucker. Turn off
that fucking camera!
Jimmy's Mom rips off her strap on dildo and begins beating
Jimmy's Dad with it.
Judging from the punishment she's inflicting upon her drag
queen husband, the dildo apparently is made from the finest
and heaviest of materials.
39.
JIMMY'S MOM
Stop it! You're going to kill him.
Jimmy's Dad lets go. The dildo's doing the trick.
JIMMY'S DAD
Bitch!
Jimmy's Mom keeps swinging the dildo at Jimmy's Dad even
though he's let go.
JIMMY'S MOM
Fuck you! You think you know me?
You don't know me! You piece of
shit!
JIMMY
(laughing)
Mom!
Jimmy's Mom now directs her attention on Jimmy. She screams
at him as she swings her gigantic strap on towards the
camera.
JIMMY'S MOM
You little beast! You want to film
something? Film this!
She continues to swing the strap on as she walks closer and
closer to the lens.
The camera goes crazy. Loud sounds are heard throughout the
room. Evidently Jimmy has been tackled. We hear wrestling
and grunting. It seems that Jimmy's Dad has tackled Jimmy,
or maybe his Mom, or both, but the camera is too shaky to
tell just what has happened.
Jimmy's Dad is still fighting. He seems to have them all
pinned against the floor. He's crushing his mother.
JIMMY'S DAD (O.C.)
Nancy, Nancy, Nancy, Nancy! Please
someone call me Nancy. My name is
Nancy.
JIMMY'S MOM (O.C.)
(crying hysterically)
Nancy, Nancy, Nancy... Jimmy
please call him "Nancy" for the
love of God. Call your daddy
Nancy. Call him Nancy...!
40.
We hear Jimmy's Mom screaming/repeating herself. We see a
hand go over the lens. Jimmy and his mother and father are
all in a wrestling match on the floor.
Jimmy with great enthusiasm begins to sing as the camera
shakes.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Take me out to the ball game, take
me out to the crowd, buy me some
peanuts and crackerjacks...
The wrestling match continues as we see more hands come
towards the lens. Jimmy's Mom suddenly stops screaming, as
if she's been knocked out.
JIMMY'S DAD (O.C.)
Give me that fucking tape!
JIMMY (O.C.)
I don't think so Nancy. Nancy,
Nancy, Nancy...
After some very intense fighting, someone is finally able to
shut the camera off.
CAMERA ON:
EXT. FOREST/MEADOW - RUNNING NAKED - DAY
Jimmy has the camera and is chasing a naked (just from
behind) Judy through the woods. The camera shakes and
rattles, but we can definitely tell this is all in good fun.
Judy screams as she is being chased through the woods. She
couldn't feel more free.
She begins to tire and slows down. She can no longer run and
turns towards the camera. As she turns around, camera shows
her from the waist up. She has a beer can in her hand and
she is a little drunk.
For the first time, she's completely at ease with her own
body and looks perfectly natural being naked in the
wilderness. She walks towards the camera smoothly and
seductively. Her long hair blond hair blows gently in the
wind.
JUDY
I'm so glad you're out. Next time
your dad wants to take it in the
ass, DON'T FILM HIM!
41.
JIMMY (O.C.)
I know. Ironic that I was the one
sent to the nut house.
JUDY
I thought I was going to die
without you. What if you and I
could live here together? Forever.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Right here?
JUDY
I'm serious. Maybe not here, but
eventually we'll buy some land, and
we can live together on it, and be
naked whenever we want.
She takes a big swig of her beer. Then burps.
JUDY
Excuse me. What do you think?
JIMMY (O.C.)
I think you're drunk.
Judy walks towards the camera. She puts her mouth inches
away from the lens.
JUDY
I think you're right mister.
Judy giggles, then dances around playfully in the woods. She
has never felt so alive.
JUDY
I don't want this to ever end. I
want to be here forever. I want to
dance and be naked and be free, and
I want us to ball our brains out
everyday, and I want to feel the
air on my body and I want to get
drunk and not care about anything
in the world. I just want us to be
together in this moment.
JIMMY (O.C.)
I know a place like that.
JUDY
You do?
42.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Yep. We can go there one day if
you want.
JUDY
We can? Where is it?
JIMMY (O.C.)
Erlanger.
JUDY
(doesn't buy it)
Erlanger!
JIMMY (O.C.)
Yeah Erlanger. Everybody was
talking about it in the nut house.
That's ALL anybody fucking talked
about was this dude who lives up
there named Uncle Rodney. He
supposedly has a commune where we
can do this kind of thing every
day.
JUDY
Uncle Rodney's commune?
Judy smiles, almost laughing. It all sounds pretty
ridiculous to her, but plays along anyway.
JUDY
That's funny.
JIMMY (O.C.)
(playfully)
No, I'm serious.
Judy walks back towards the camera and grabs it away from
Jimmy, surprising him.
JIMMY
Hey!
JUDY (O.C.)
Okay, now it's your turn.
Shot from the waist up, we now see that Jimmy's naked as
well. He's at a loss as to what he should say.
JUDY (O.C.)
How does it feel to be a free man?
Jimmy thinks. A drunk Judy is losing her patience.
43.
JUDY (O.C.)
Come on, come on, come on...
JIMMY
I'm thinking.
JUDY (O.C.)
Just let it go, be free.
JIMMY
(adoringly)
You're such a hippie all of sudden.
JUDY (O.C.)
Come on.
JIMMY
No.
Judy's not getting what she wants from him. Camera shuts
down.
CAMERA ON:
EXT. FOREST/MEADOW - RUNNING NAKED - DAY
Judy films Jimmy. The camera is close and intimate as they
lie on their sides staring into each other's eyes. Judy is
still naked, but is being shot in an extreme close up.
JUDY (O.C.)
Okay, go.
Jimmy's still not up for it. Judy grabs the camera and turns
it on him.
JUDY (O.C.)
Come on!
Jimmy's turns the tables.
JIMMY
Okay, you really wanna hear
something?
JUDY (O.C.)
Yeah.
Jimmy takes a deep breath, a touch of intensity flashes in
his eye, then...
44.
JIMMY
I want to go one day without
masturbating. I want to liberate
my penis. I want to clone you so
we could have a three way and
neither of us would be cheating. I
want you to scrape my balls with a
cheese grater...
Judy starts laughing. The camera's shaking.
JUDY (O.C.)
That's gross!
Jimmy suddenly gets serious.
JIMMY
And I love you. I love you so much
it hurts.
JUDY (O.C.)
It hurts?
JIMMY
Like God is stabbing me in heart
with a thousand knives at the same
time and you're the only one who
can make the pain go away. Do you
love me that much?
JUDY (O.C.)
I love you so much, I'd rather die
than be without you.
JIMMY
Here.
Jimmy grabs the camera and points it at Judy.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Make me a promise... the way a
husband and wife make a promise...
that we will be together always and
forever.
JUDY
You mean get married?
JIMMY (O.C.)
Something more powerful than
marriage. It's a bond. It's our
bond. It's transcendental.
45.
JUDY
What?
JIMMY (O.C.)
Transcendental.
(grabs the camera)
Here.
Jimmy hands Judy the camera as she starts to frame him up,
but they're really engaging each other's eyes over the top of
the eyepiece.
JIMMY
It's transcendental because it
transcends everything. Life, love,
law, people, things... A bond so
strong that our souls will become
one and it can never end, even in
death. If you swear on the bond,
it means you'd rather die than
break your promise.
Judy is moved.
JUDY (O.C.)
That's so beautiful.
JIMMY
You're so beautiful. I want to
love you forever.
JUDY (O.C.)
Swear on the bond. Swear we'll be
together forever, that you'd rather
die than be apart.
JIMMY
I swear on the bond.
JUDY (O.C.)
And we'll never let anything come
between us, not even death.
JIMMY
Not even death. I swear. Nothing
will come between us, ever.
Jimmy stares at her, then slowly leans in for a kiss... a
long, wet, toe curling kiss. Jimmy finds a way to point the
camera at the kiss.
46.
They break apart. Judy sighs, staring into Jimmy's eyes,
then leans into him, his lips touching her forehead, their
eyes closing as they feel the energy of true love.
JUDY
We'll be together forever.
JIMMY
(whispers)
Together forever.
Camera shuts down.
CAMERA ON:
I/E. GROCERY STORE PARKING LOT/JIMMY'S CAR - DAY
Jimmy and Judy sit in a parked car outside of a huge grocery
store.
Jimmy and Judy sit outside a small grocery store. Jimmy
films himself. Judy's in the passenger seat. He does his
best news announcer impersonation.
JIMMY
This is action ten news reporter
Jimmy Van Muffmuncher reporting to
you live from the parking lot of
Dick's grocery store where we're
going to witness the beautiful, the
talented, the amazing Judy, commit
her first crime.
Jimmy flips the camera around onto Judy.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Is there anything you would like to
say to the public and your adoring
fans before you go through with
this?
Judy gleefully plays along.
JUDY
Well Mr. Van Muffmuncher. I just
want to say that I look forward to
losing, my, um...
Judy pauses to think.
JUDY
What did you call it before?
47.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Your conformist crimeless
virginity.
Judy snaps back into her role as interviewee.
JUDY
Yes, I am very much looking forward
to losing my conformist crimeless
virginity. I would also like to
share with my fans these.
Judy lifts up her shirt and exposes her bra to the camera.
JIMMY (V.O.)
(in his reporter voice)
Thank you and thank your tits for
this rare, behind the scenes look
at your first crime slash moment of
truth.
Judy leans in pops a quick kiss at the lens of the camera.
Jimmy shuts it down.
CAMERA ON:
INT. GROCERY STORE - DAY
Jimmy is in a grocery store aisle filming Judy from way far
away. We can barely make out that it is her until Jimmy
zooms in tighter. She couldn't look more nervous or obvious.
She is in the beer section. She quickly takes a six pack of
canned beer and struggles to put it in her school bag. She
walks quickly towards the exit. Jimmy follows her and
catches up.
Jimmy is standing next to her and he continues to film. Judy
looks so nervous.
JUDY
Jimmy, turn it off. We're gonna
get busted.
JIMMY (O.C.)
No way, this is the best part.
A man is yelling at them off camera.
MAN (O.C.)
Hey you two. Stop.
48.
Jimmy pans over and a store manager is standing in front of
them.
STORE MANAGER
What the hell do you think you're
doing?
Jimmy and Judy have no reply. The store manager gives them
his best intimidating stare.
There is an extremely long pause.
STORE MANAGER
Turn that damn thing off. You
can't be running around the store
playing with a camera. It's
against the store policy. Now get
out of here.
Camera shuts down.
CAMERA ON:
EXT. GROCERY STORE - PARKING LOT - DAY
Judy is looking at the lens of the camera. She's shaking and
screaming.
JUDY
What is the matter with you Jimmy?
You almost got us caught. You're
so worried about that camera. What
is it? What is it!
Jimmy calmly and quietly explains.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Twenty years from now, when we're
together watching these tapes
you'll realize how special this
moment is. I owe it to you. And I
owe it to us to capture everything
and anything we do together.
Judy is calmed but still is pissed.
JUDY
Well you freak me out sometimes.
Why do you have to tape everything?
It's like you have a problem or
something.
Judy's case isn't sticking. She treads lightly.
49.
JUDY
You know, most of the reason kids
think you're so weird is because of
it. Why do you think everybody
makes fun of you? And then I have
to hear it and I have to deal with
it.
JIMMY (O.C.)
So everybody makes fun of me, huh?
JUDY
Yeah. Can't you give the thing a
fucking rest?
Jimmy's fuming.
JIMMY (O.C.)
And you don't want to deal with it?
Well fuck them and fuck you too if
you think that. I couldn't give a
fuck what people say. This is my
life and I want to document it.
And right now me filming you
happens to be the only reason I
manage to get out of my fucking bed
every morning! You can't take this
away from me!
Jimmy starts crying.
Judy takes the camera. She tapes Jimmy who is sobbing. Now
she is the one who speaks gently. She's trying to give him a
taste of his own medicine.
JUDY (O.C.)
How does it feel Jimmy? How does
it feel to have someone taping you
while you're crying?
Jimmy doesn't answer. He tries to compose himself enough to
speak.
Judy pushes harder.
JUDY (O.C.)
Tell me. Look at the camera and
tell me how it feels!
JIMMY
You're not getting it. It doesn't
matter how it feels right now.
(MORE)
50.
JIMMY (cont'd)
What matters is that you're seeing
what's inside of me and your taping
it. Can you understand that?
Judy doesn't know how to respond.
JIMMY
Can you?
JUDY (O.C.)
I don't know.
JIMMY
Well can you at least try?
Jimmy is still crying. This weighs on her.
JUDY (O.C.)
Yes. I can most definitely try.
JIMMY
And you can never, ever, ever ask
me to not film you or anything we
do. That's the only thing I'll
ever ask of you. Agreed?
JUDY (O.C.)
Okay. I'm sorry.
JIMMY
Will you swear to it? On camera,
will you swear to it?
Jimmy has talked himself into a good mood. Before we hear
Judy's response, we...
JUMP CUT TO:
I/E. GROCERY STORE PARKING LOT/JIMMY'S CAR - DAY
Moments later, Jimmy is now taping Judy. She has her right
hand up, like a witness about to be sworn into the stand.
She's all smiles as Jimmy gives her the oath to repeat back
to him.
JAMES (O.C.)
Please raise your right hand.
Judy raises her right hand.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Please repeat after me. I Judy...
51.
JUDY
I Judy...
JIMMY (O.C.)
Do hereby solemnly swear...
JUDY
Do hereby solemnly swear...
JIMMY (O.C.)
That I will never ask, request, or
even insinuate to Jimmy to cease
filming, no matter the situation.
JUDY
That I will never ask, request, or
even insinuate to Jimmy to cease
filming, no matter the situation.
JIMMY (O.C.)
And furthermore, I do hereby
solemnly swear to commit myself to
giving Jimmy his daily blowjob and
will continue to perform various
sex acts with the skill and
enthusiasm that he has become
accustomed to.
Judy laughs, then screams with embarrassed excitement. Her
laughter and happiness is infectious.
She pounds her fists on the dashboard and laughs again.
We can hear Jimmy laughing off camera as well.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Keep your right hand up.
Judy lifts her right hand back up. She looks at the camera
with a huge smile.
JUDY
I do hereby solemnly swear to g...
THWACK! Someone has thrown a full soda can on the hood of
Jimmy's car. He pans and zooms the camera over and sees a
car full of Three Teenagers laughing at them.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Mother fuckers.
Suddenly the TEENAGE DRIVER of the car appears, as if out of
nowhere, running to the passenger side. Jimmy zooms out.
52.
The frame catches up to him just as he spits a huge LOOGIE
into the car, hitting Judy right in the face.
Judy screams. The car full of Three Teenagers laugh
hysterically at her expense.
Jimmy hands Judy the camera.
JIMMY
Here, you're definitely going to
want to tape this.
Jimmy calmly gets out of his car as Judy tapes him through
the window. We can hear her breathing heavily as she tries
not to cry softly off camera.
Jimmy has gone to the rear of the car. We hear the trunk
open while Judy films through the windshield at the car full
of laughing teens. Jimmy enters the frame carrying a
baseball bat.
We see him talking calmly to the driver of the car, the Kid
who spat in Judy's face. Then...
WHAM!
Jimmy reels back and clocks the kid right in the face with
the bat. The Kid falls over into the front seat of the car.
Jimmy calmly walks over to the front of the car and begins
bashing in the windshield.
JUDY (O.C.)
(to herself)
Oh my God.
Now rage has taken over Jimmy over entirely. He's bashing in
the windshield with all of his might.
The teenagers all go running from the car. A crowd starts to
form in the parking lot.
JUDY (O.C.)
(to herself)
Oh, God Jimmy...
Jimmy has now completely bashed in the windshield and moves
to the front of the car. He now begins smashing the other
windows.
Now a sizeable crowd is formed. Jimmy is seemingly oblivious
to them and continues bashing the car.
53.
JUDY (O.C.)
(to herself)
I love you Jimmy.
Now it's to the point of overkill. But Jimmy won't stop.
It's as if the rage he's been carrying inside of him his
entire life is now coming to the surface.
We hear sirens in the distance as Jimmy continues to bash the
car. The car is in near shambles as we hear police sirens in
the distance.
Judy begins screaming.
JUDY (O.C.)
Jimmy stop, please stop. Jimmy...
oh god, Jimmy stop. God damn it,
fucking stop!
Jimmy doesn't. He pounds the car harder as a police cruiser
pulls up. Two policemen get out of the car. They are
temporarily paralyzed with indecision.
We see one of the officers trying to speak with Jimmy. He
just ignores them. The policemen are oblivious to the fact
they are being filmed.
One of the officers gets out a can of mace and sprays it in
Jimmy's face.
Now Jimmy is completely freaking out. We hear him scream,
but he continues to bash the car with his eyes closed. One
of the cops draws his gun as Jimmy swings aimlessly towards
them. He gets sprayed again with the mace and is now
completely blinded. A huge crowd has now amassed outside of
the grocery store.
JUDY (O.C.)
Oh, God Jimmy, oh God...
Now the entire parking lot is filled with cop cars. Lights
are flashing all around Jimmy. He is surrounded but sill
continues to swing the bat.
JUDY (O.C.)
Jimmy...
Three cops tackle Jimmy from behind. Judy throws down the
camera and runs out the door. The camera is face down on the
seat.
54.
We hear Judy get out of the car, leaving the door open so we
can hear the entire scene with much more intensity. The
sounds of police sirens and radios is overwhelming.
We hear a woman screaming and more sirens and cars are
pulling up. More screaming and sounds on the radio is heard.
We hear police chatter:
POLICE CHATTER (O.C.)
(over the police radios)
We're going to need an ambulance
stat at the parking lot of the
grocery store on Route 18...
More screaming and chatter is heard until someone enters the
car. We don't know who it is. They turn off the camera.
CAMERA ON:
I/E. SANITARIUM PARKING LOT/JUDY'S CAR - DAY
Judy is filming. She sits behind the wheel pointing the
camera at the front door of a HIDDEN VALLEY Mental Hospital.
She zooms in on a sign.
Judy flips the camera around to herself.
JUDY
Hi baby. I miss you.
(blowing a kiss)
Mwaa! I'll be waiting for you when
you get out. Be good and don't
wait too long. Look what I did for
you!
Judy opens her mouth wide. She's got a tongue stud on her
tongue.
JUDY
I can't wait to use it on you!
Camera shuts down.
CAMERA ON:
I/E. FAST FOOD RESTAURANT DRIVE THRU/JIMMY'S CAR - DAY
Jimmy's pulled forward to the drive thru while Judy tapes
from passenger seat. A voice squawks at Jimmy, asking for
his order.
55.
JIMMY
Can I get a double cheese burger,
no pickles, large fries and a coke?
Jimmy looks at the camera.
JIMMY
That's what I fucking missed more
than anything. Fast food.
He turns back to order more.
JIMMY
And a number two.
The Drive Thru window voice rattles off a price and tells him
to pull up. Jimmy continues to camera.
JUDY (O.C.)
What did you do in there all day?
JIMMY
Masturbated mostly.
JUDY (O.C.)
(jokingly)
You cheated on me! I want to be
the only person responsible for
making you cum.
JIMMY
I hope you're willing to be on call
twenty four hours a day.
JUDY (O.C.)
Seriously, what did you do? What
was a day in the life of Jimmy in
the nut house?
JIMMY
Well, besides masturbating, I
talked and talked and talked and
fucking talked until they were
satisfied. But basically I told
them what they wanted to hear. I
said shit like...
Jimmy does an over the top mock sincerity speech.
56.
JIMMY
"Now that I'm finally able to talk
about my problems, I now realize
that my behavior was inappropriate
and harmful to others."
Judy laughs.
JIMMY
Then I figured it out. I had to
cry as much as possible. Whenever
someone would cry they'd call it a
"break through." So I'd be like.
Jimmy does an imitation of himself in therapy. He looks
directly into the lens.
JIMMY
You start out slow, then you build
it up like this... "Now I know
that using violence is not the
answer."
Jimmy is getting progressively sappier and more over the top
with his self impersonation.
JIMMY
Then you go like this:
(snaps back into the
impersonation)
I was wrong, I know I was wrong and
I'll never do it again. I don't
want to hurt people or myself.
Jimmy does an obnoxious fake cry.
JIMMY
Boo hoo, waaaaaa, boo-hoo-hoo,
waaaaaaa.
(snaps out of it)
Then you always give them the
obligatory hug at the end. After a
couple of weeks, then they
officially diagnose you with
something, give you a prescription,
then you're done.
JUDY (O.C.)
God, you're a genius.
Jimmy pulls up to the drive through window and pays the
Cashier who hands him the a paper bag of food.
57.
Jimmy pulls away and parks. Judy continues to question him
as he goes through his bag of food.
JUDY (O.C.)
So what did they say you have?
Jimmy munches on some fries.
JIMMY
ODD. Oppositional Defiance
Disorder.
JUDY (O.C.)
You're so lucky. I wish I was
diagnosed with something. What
does it mean?
Jimmy pretends he is reading from a text book 50's industrial
spoof style.
JIMMY
ODD is a disorder characterized by
an overwhelming pattern of
negative, hostile, and defiant
behavior which causes severe
delusions where the patient can no
longer distinguish fantasy from
reality.
JUDY (O.C.)
Wow. I love that!
Jimmy smiles as he gets his burger out of the paper bag. He
then opens the top bun of the burger to examine if they got
his order correct. They didn't.
Jimmy playfully begins to act crazy.
JIMMY
You see. They fucked up my order.
I specifically asked for no
pickles.
JUDY (O.C.)
(playing along)
Oh, no! How will ODD Boy handle
this? Will his ODD brain be able
to withstand a pickle screw up at
the drive thru?
Jimmy goes into a cartoonish like crazy person character.
58.
He begins by taking the pickles off of his burger. He puts
the burger down, quickly lifts his shirt, holding it up with
his chin while he places two pickles over top of his nipples.
Jimmy yells.
JIMMY
Ooow, jeez, they're hot! I burnt
my nipples with the pickles.
Judy cracks up laughing. Jimmy takes a pickle off of his
left nipple and dangles it directly in front of the lens.
He then feeds it to Judy. We hear Judy chomping on the
pickle and giggling off camera. The camera shakes then shuts
down.
CAMERA ON:
I/E. GHETTO/JUDY'S CAR - NIGHT
Judy is driving through the ghetto as Jimmy shoots out of the
window. On the sidewalk, he catches glimpses Drug Dealers, a
Crack Whore, a Drunk stumbling along, and Other Pretty
Sketchy Characters.
JIMMY (O.C.)
I love the ghetto. I don't know
what it is about it. I fucking
love it. It's always the first
place I go to when I get out.
JUDY
I love it when you're out of the
looney bin. Do you think you might
be able to try to avoid the place
for a while?
JIMMY (O.C.)
(joking)
If they don't send me to the bin,
maybe they'll send me to jail.
This upsets Judy.
JUDY
I'm serious. You act like it's no
big deal when you go away!
JIMMY (O.C.)
(tired of it)
All right.
59.
JUDY
No it's not all right! When you're
in there I have to be out in the
real world alone, by myself Jimmy.
You go away and come back like it's
no big deal. Well it is a big
deal. I don't want to spend
another day without you. Do you
understand me? I'd rather die.
Judy's holding back tears.
JIMMY (O.C.)
I'm not going back.
She doesn't believe him. She's really starting to cry
despite herself. He pulls his eye from the lens to look at
her.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Judy.
Judy looks over at him.
JIMMY (O.C.)
I promise. I swear on my life and
I swear on our bond, I'll never go
back.
Her freak out subsides.
JUDY
If you swear on our bond, then I
believe you.
Judy lets out half cry and half yelp. Her emotions are a bit
out of control.
JUDY
I love you so fucking much.
JIMMY (O.C.)
I love you too.
Awkward silence. Judy looks like she wants to ask Jimmy
something.
JIMMY (O.C.)
What's the matter?
60.
JUDY
I was thinking, the last time you
got out we did it like five times,
like as soon as we saw each other,
we got naked and started doing it.
And today, my parents weren't even
home and I tried to do some stuff
to you, but you were acting like
you weren't interested.
JIMMY (O.C.)
I didn't mean to.
JUDY
Was it because you jerked off so
much while you were locked up?
Jimmy hands her a small bottle of whiskey. She takes a
sizable gulp, makes a face, then hands it back to Jimmy.
JIMMY (O.C.)
No.
Judy is getting upset again.
JUDY
(voice cracking)
Then why don't you want to have sex
with me Jimmy? You don't think I'm
pretty anymore?
JIMMY (O.C.)
No, no, no! That has nothing to do
with it. After I saw my dad being
rammed in the ass by my mother, I
kind of blocked it out, but when I
was in there they kept talking to
me and talking to me about it. Now
I can't stop it from coming into my
head. Every time I get wood, the
instant replay machine in my brain
projects this image of my Mom
pounding into my Dad.
JUDY
God, that's awful. I didn't know.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Yeah well, you know you didn't give
too much of an effort to get in my
pants anyhow. You just sort of
made your sex face and grabbed my
crotch.
61.
Judy takes another drink off the bottle of whiskey and
smiles.
JUDY
How do you like this?
While she is driving she pulls down her tank top and quickly
exposes her breasts through the top of her shirt.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Now we're talking.
Judy tries to position her body so her breasts are in frame.
She begins pushing one up, then sticks out her tongue,
teasing.
JIMMY (O.C.)
That is so hot.
Judy smiles and looks over at the camera. One hand on the
steering wheel and one on her breast, when...
JIMMY (O.C.)
Watch out!
BOOM!
A loud THUMP hits the car, shaking the camera.
JIMMY (O.C.)
I think you hit someone.
Judy's in shock. Jimmy puts the camera on the floor of the
car by the passenger seat. He forgets to turn it off.
All we see is a close up of the floor and Jimmy's feet.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Stay here.
Jimmy gets out of the car. We hear the car door open then
close.
Judy sounds like she is having a complete nervous breakdown.
She's crying, but in an extremely nervous and frantic way.
JUDY (O.C.)
(calls to him)
Oh my God, what are you doing?
We have no clue what Jimmy is doing outside of the car.
62.
JUDY (O.C.)
Oh fuck, oh fuck. Oh my god.
Jimmy?
We hear a car door open and some struggling sounds coming
from Jimmy.
JUDY (O.C.)
Don't put him in here!
JIMMY (O.C.)
We're taking him to the hospital.
JUDY (O.C.)
No, we'll get busted.
Long pause, we hear Jimmy struggling off camera.
JUDY (O.C.)
What... what are you doing?
JIMMY (O.C.)
He's not breathing. He's not
fucking breathing!
Silence. You can feel them thinking.
JUDY (O.C.)
Is he dead?
JIMMY (O.C.)
(has decided)
Pop the trunk for me.
JUDY (O.C.)
No.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Judy.
JUDY (O.C.)
What are we gonna do?
JIMMY (O.C.)
I don't know right now, but we're
not driving around with a dead guy
in our back seat.
JUDY (O.C.)
I just want to go home. Jimmy,
let's leave him. He's dead. We
should just go.
63.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Pop the fucking trunk already
before someone sees us!
We hear Judy pop the trunk.
We hear Jimmy struggling.
The camera is still on the floor of the car.
More struggling as Jimmy is clearly outside putting the body
into the trunk.
JUDY (O.C.)
(to self)
I want to go home.
We hear Jimmy slam the trunk.
JIMMY (O.C.)
(screams; frustrated)
Fuck!
We hear Jimmy come around to the driver's seat and open the
door.
JUDY (O.C.)
Jimmy, I...
JIMMY (O.C.)
I'm driving.
We hear Judy get out of the car and walk around to the
passenger side and open the door, but she doesn't get in.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Get in.
Judy doesn't respond.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Are you gonna fucking get in!
Judy is hysterical.
JUDY (O.C.)
We should just leave him here.
JIMMY (O.C.)
We can't leave him in the middle of
the fucking ghetto. Get in before
someone sees us!
64.
Judy's losing it.
JUDY (O.C.)
I don't want him in my fucking car!
I want him out!
Before Jimmy can respond, we see the reflection of police
lights. Red and blue lights flicker against the lens.
JUDY (O.C.)
Oh shit!
We hear Judy get in the car and close the door.
JUDY (O.C.)
It's the fucking cops.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Just shut up.
She's hysterical.
JUDY (O.C.)
It's the cops. It's the cops.
It's the...
JIMMY (O.C.)
Shhhhhh!
Jimmy kicks the camera. We still can't see any of this. We
can only hear what's happening.
JIMMY (O.C.)
You gotta play it cool, okay?
Judy's crying gets louder.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Stop fucking crying. Please, I'm
begging you. Stop it.
We hear the cop open and shut his patrol car door.
JUDY (O.C.)
Oh God. He's getting out of the
car. We've got a dead homeless guy
in our trunk and he's...
JIMMY (O.C.)
SSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
65.
JUDY (O.C.)
Oh, my god Jimmy, he's walking
towards us.
JIMMY (O.C.)
SSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Just be cool.
The Cop is close, we can feel his footsteps coming towards
the car. Judy collects herself as best as she can.
The cop taps his flashlight against the window.
We hear Judy roll down her power window and we hear the voice
of the Cop.
COP (O.C.)
Good evening. License and
registration please.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Certainly, sir.
The light from the Cop's flashlight reflects off the floor of
the car and into the lens of the camera.
The reflections stop. The wait is unbearable.
COP (O.C.)
Could you please step out of the
vehicle?
Jimmy gets out of the car as Judy trembles in the passengers
seat.
We only hear the sounds of Judy sniffling and repressing
herself from crying and idle chatter of the Cop's radio.
It seems like forever, then...
THUMP!
The car is shaking, we hear intense struggling going on
outside.
Judy unleashes a piercing, high pitched scream.
JUDY (O.C.)
Jimmy!
More violent struggling is heard as Judy begins to
hyperventilate.
POP
66.
A gunshot is fired.
Judy screams.
JUDY (O.C.)
AAAAAHHHHHHH!
POP. Another shot is fired.
The car door opens, Jimmy gets in. We hear the sounds of
tires squealing and the engine roaring.
JUDY (O.C.)
What happened?
JIMMY (O.C.)
Shut up!
Judy's now totally freaked.
JUDY (O.C.)
What happened!
JIMMY (O.C.)
Just shut the fuck up! I don't
fucking want to talk about it!
Jimmy can't bully her into silence. She continues to freak
out. The camera is kicked.
JUDY (O.C.)
I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT FUCKING
HAPPENED! I WANNA KNOW. I WANNA
KNOW. I JUST WANNA FUCKING...!
Camera is kicked off and shuts down.
CAMERA ON:
EXT. REST STOP - SECLUDED AREA - TRUNK OF THE CAR - NIGHT
A weird, digital, black and white image plays on the camera.
There's no light and Jimmy's got the camera back in "Nite
Shot" mode. He's standing outside of the car filming the
Homeless Man who is lying dead inside of the trunk. Judy
stands next to him as he films.
The Homeless Man is twisted and contorted in order to fit in
the small confines of the trunk.
Jimmy pans back and forth and up and down his dead body.
67.
JUDY (O.C.)
What are you doing?
JIMMY (O.C.)
(it's obvious)
I'm filming.
JUDY (O.C.)
It's dark. You can't see anything.
JIMMY (O.C.)
It's on infra-red. Do you wanna
see?
JUDY (O.C.)
No, I don't wanna see.
JIMMY (O.C.)
He's beautiful. He really is.
There's a certain serenity to death
I appreciate.
JUDY (O.C.)
He's dead. He's in my car, Jimmy,
and he stinks. I wanna go home.
Jimmy keeps filming.
JUDY (O.C.)
I don't think I can do this.
Jimmy ignores her.
JUDY (O.C.)
I'm not like you. I can't do this.
(holds back a sob)
I wanna fucking go home.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Yeah, well you can't fucking go
home. And you will do this. You
did do this. You killed him. You
didn't get in the car until the
cops showed up. Now we don't have
a choice. You want me to go to
jail? You want that?
JUDY (O.C.)
(softer)
No.
Judy settles. Jimmy is out of breath.
68.
The sun is beginning to rise. The light of a new day
cascades upon the dead body in the trunk.
JUDY (O.C.)
(half crying)
What are we going to do?
JIMMY (O.C.)
We just need to make intelligent
decisions. That's all. We'll find
a way to take care of it. Then
we'll go away. We'll fix it.
It'll be okay. I promise.
JUDY (O.C.)
You promise?
JIMMY (O.C.)
Yeah. Come here.
Jimmy has dropped the camera away from the Homeless Man.
He's still rolling while he wraps his arms around her and
holds her.
We hear him kissing her softly.
JIMMY (O.C.)
It's gonna be okay. I'm gonna take
care of everything. I promise.
Camera shuts down.
CAMERA ON:
INT. WOODS IN NOWHERE - HOMELESS MAN ROAST - NIGHT
We see and hear a huge roaring fire. Jimmy has zoomed the
lens in so close that we can't tell what it is that's
burning.
As he pulls out, it's revealed that the dead homeless guy is
roasting in the fire.
JUDY (O.C.)
(coughing)
Oh, my god. The hair burning is
making me nauseous.
Judy coughs more violently before.
69.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Yeah, God damn. Burning bodies
fucking stinks. That bum's body
odor is being cooked right off him.
Jimmy pokes the flaming skull with his stick.
JUDY (O.C.)
Jimmy!
Jimmy pokes some more at the body, then flips the camera up
at Judy.
JUDY
What? I'm not in the mood.
JIMMY (O.C.)
(making light)
Don't have to be in the mood.
Doesn't matter. The camera's on,
it's on.
(changes the subject)
You wanna know where we're gonna
go?
JUDY
Okay, where are we gonna go?
JIMMY (O.C.)
We're going to Lincoln to visit
Dinko.
JUDY
Who's Dinko, Jimmy?
JIMMY (O.C.)
He's cool. And he's got his own
place, and he said I could stay
there whenever ever I wanted. Plus
he knows about you and he wants to
meet you. And he doesn't like
cops, so he's not gonna call 'em.
Okay? Now gimme a smile.
JUDY
No.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Gimme a smile, and I'll let you see
my smiley face again.
Judy begins coughing.
70.
JUDY
I can't get sexy with that smell.
I just can't.
Camera shuts down.
CAMERA ON:
INT. DINKO'S TRAILER - NIGHT
Music is playing extremely loud in a funky ass trailer as
Judy dances with DINKO (late 20s) a completely drunk trailer
trash dude wearing a pizza delivery outfit.
Empty whiskey and beer bottles are scattered throughout the
tiny living room as cigarette smoke hovers around them due to
a ridiculously low ceiling.
Judy is dancing in a very sexy manner with Dinko who is
dancing like a complete dork. Dinko has no moves, rhythm, or
beat whatsoever, but dances with as much vigor as a dog on
crack.
Jimmy is sitting on the couch filming them dancing in front
of him. Dinko is forced to scream over top of the music to
be heard. He looks directly at Jimmy noticing that Jimmy's
turned on the camera.
DINKO
Hey! The video-man. I remember
that shit when we was in together.
Said you video-ed everything.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Yep.
DINKO
Hey man, it's cool if you guys stay
here for a while, but I have a
small business to run man. There's
going to be some people knocking on
the door and shit. I can't have
you guys answering the door or the
phone. That's the only rule.
Other than that man, we're going to
getting fucked up together all the
time. I got a shit load of crank
dude, that shit is off the fucking
hook. Here, take a hit.
Dinko tries to hand off some crank to Jimmy.
71.
JIMMY (O.C.)
No thanks, I just want to film Judy
dancing.
Jimmy pans the camera over towards Judy. She's doing her
best sexy dance into the camera.
We can still hear Dinko talking to Jimmy.
DINKO (O.C.)
Right man. That's cool. Hey um...
If I tell you to stop taping
though, man, you gotta stop. I got
some hard core junkies coming over
here. Sometimes, if they see shit
like that, they fucking flip.
Crank junkies are a whole different
kind of breed man. They're fucking
hard core mother fuckers. You
don't know what they're gonna
fucking do. This one guy got
paranoid about something. He used
to climb on his roof to take a
dump. That's the only place he
would shit! How fucked up is that?
Dinko laughs at his own joke.
JUDY
You're not even paying attention to
me Jimmy.
Judy takes her dancing up a notch to get Jimmy's attention.
JUDY
Don't I look sexy?
Jimmy doesn't get a chance to respond.
DINKO (O.C.)
Yeah, you look real sexy baby.
Real nice.
Dinko starts in with Jimmy again.
DINKO (O.C.)
Hey, I may have some work for you
if you're cool with that.
Jimmy turns the camera back to Dinko while he goes to the
kitchen to get a beer.
72.
JIMMY (O.C.)
What kind of work?
DINKO
You know some hustling, some good
money. I'll teach you how to mix
the shit. Your girlfriend too if
she wants.
JIMMY (O.C.)
(sarcasm)
Yeah. That's what I've always
wanted to do. Learn to make and
sell crystal methamphetamine.
You're a fucking genius Dinko.
Dinko is too stupid to recognize sarcasm.
DINKO
(big smile)
Yeah, man! Fuckin' high five.
Dinko high five's Jimmy and laughs again.
DINKO
(re: Judy)
So is she, like, your girlfriend or
are you guys just fucking?
JIMMY (O.C.)
She's my girlfriend, my best
friend, and yes we fuck. And don't
ever, ever fucking touch her.
That's MY only rule Dinko.
Judy is frustrated with Jimmy's lack of attention.
JUDY (O.C.)
Jimmy!
Jimmy turns the camera to her. She's starting to do her best
impression of a stripper dance.
DINKO
It's all good man. I ain't gonna
touch your old lady. Shit man,
she's so into you anyway.
Dinko gets up and moves into the kitchen area, crossing the
frame. Jimmy focusses the camera's attention on various
items in the kitchen while Dinko talks.
73.
There's ripped open small electronics and appliances
everywhere, as if Dinko's been taking everything apart and
trying to put it back together.
DINKO
So there's this dude. Fucker
taught me everything I know about
meth and shit. He'd fucking flip
for your girl, man. You should go
up and see him. He's in Erlanger.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Uncle Rodney?
Camera drifts across several messy piles of papers and
cardboard boxes with bags of drugs in them.
DINKO (O.C.)
Right, right! I forgot. Yeah,
Uncle Rodney!
JUDY (O.C.)
You have an Uncle Rodney baby?
Judy is too stoned to realize that Jimmy has already told her
about Uncle Rodney.
Jimmy pulls out to include Judy in the shot. She's in the
kitchen doing another line of crank off a counter top.
JUDY
I want to meet your uncle.
JIMMY (O.C.)
He's not my uncle. He's not
anybody's uncle. People just call
him that. He's the one I told you
about from the nut house.
As Judy bends down to snort her line, camera drifts over to
Dinko who's holding a HUGE HILLBILLY WAD OF CASH in his hand
and stuffs it into a box of cereal. Jimmy zooms in on the
cereal box. There's a whole bunch more cash in there.
JIMMY (O.C.)
I said one day I'd take you up to
Erlanger one day, remember?
JUDY (O.C.)
When was that?
Dinko throws the cash on the table. Jimmy ZOOMS OUT catching
Judy in the frame.
74.
JIMMY (O.C.)
When we were naked.
JUDY
We're always naked, Jimmy.
Judy wipes powder from her nose, then goes foggy for a split
second, losing then catching her balance.
JUDY
(re: crank)
Fuck... Woah, that's cool.
DINKO (O.C.)
That's some good shit, huh?
JUDY
(disoriented)
Uh huh...
Jimmy turns the camera onto Dinko.
DINKO
So you guys should like, totally go
see him, man. I don't fuckin' go
up there no more, 'cuz like, I got
all the shit I need right here man,
'cuz my place is cool and all, but
there's no fucking room here, ya
know? So like you should go see
him and shit.
Judy steps into frame. At this point, she's in her bra and
is dancing like a stripper directly in front of the camera.
JUDY
You like this, Jimmy?
THERE'S A KNOCK at the door.
DINKO (O.C.)
(calls out to door)
Yo!
(to Jimmy)
Customers call.
Judy keeps on dancing in her own little world while Dinko
goes to the door. Judy finishes her bottle of beer. She's
pretty drunk and cranked out at this point.
75.
Dinko is at the front door dealing with a customer. We can't
see her and we can barely hear what they're talking about,
but it seems Dinko is engaged in a heated conversation with
her. He yells back into the living room from the front door.
DINKO (O.C.)
Yo, Jimmy. Is your girl into
chicks?
JIMMY (O.C.)
I don't know.
(to Judy)
Are you into chicks?
JUDY
Do you want me to be into chicks?
JIMMY (O.C.)
(calls to her)
Sure Dinko. Bring her in.
Dinko brings in HAZEL,(40), a frightfully thin crank addict.
She's scared, nervous, and completely strung out, and she
looks like death. They stand off to the side of the room
watching Judy dance.
Judy realizes the woman is in the room and stops dancing.
Jimmy zooms in on the woman. Looking closer we see that
Hazel is in the final stages of her life/addiction. She's
sweating and her eyes are bugging out of her skull.
Dinko turns the music down so they don't have to scream.
JIMMY (O.C.)
You know what, never mind Dink. I
don't think Judy's into chicks.
JUDY
Yeah, I'm not into chicks.
DINKO
Well Hazel here will do anything we
want. Ain't that right Hazel?
Hazel nods her head yes.
DINKO
You're into chicks aren't you
Hazel?
76.
HAZEL
Um, I really just want to get some
stuff and get out of here.
Hazel is trembling. The party atmosphere has come to a
complete halt.
DINKO
Shut up you fat fucking junkie and
take your clothes off or you ain't
getting shit.
Hazel's not moving. She's reluctant.
DINKO
Come on!
HAZEL
I don't...
Dinko smacks her square in the face.
DINKO
(screaming)
Just do it, you fucking whore!
Hazel starts to take her clothes off reluctantly.
JUDY
Jimmy.
Jimmy doesn't do anything. He just keeps filming.
JUDY
Jimmy, stop him!
JIMMY (O.C.)
He's a big boy, he can do what he
wants.
This gives Dinko an added boost of confidence. Hazel is now
in her bra and panties and is standing in front of them.
DINKO
Ever made a porno?
JIMMY (O.C.)
Not with you.
77.
DINKO
Well all right! Keep filming
mother fucker, I'm gonna fuck this
junkie for you. You guys are free
to join in whenever you like.
Judy is now borderline hysterical.
JUDY
I swear to God Jimmy if you let him
go through with this I'll never
talk to you again!
Jimmy ignores her.
DINKO
You ready? You filming?
JIMMY (O.C.)
I'm filming. Are you going to fuck
her or are you just gonna talk
about it?
JUDY
(screaming)
Jimmy!
Dinko unbuckles his belt as fast as he can. Hazel begins to
cry as Dinko pushes her into position on all fours.
DINKO
(to Jimmy)
How's this? You getting good
camera angles and shit?
JIMMY (O.C.)
Turn her ass towards the camera.
DINKO
(laughing it up)
Take off them panties bitch... Oh
yeah! Come on bitch. Move.
Judy is crying profusely in the background as Dinko pushes
Hazel to the ground. Jimmy zooms in on Dinko, framing out
Hazel as Dinko gets himself ready to take her from behind.
DINKO
That's it. Just like that.
Dinko looks directly at the lens of the camera.
78.
DINKO
We're going to be doing this shit
all the time brother.
JIMMY (O.C.)
You think so?
DINKO
Fuck yeah!
Dinko sees something O.C. from Jimmy, we can't see that
surprises him.
DINKO
You don't have to hold a gun to her
head man. There's plenty of other
chicks we can do that to. If
that's what you're into, then fuck
it, I'll...
BAM!!!
Dinko takes a shot in the throat and falls onto Hazel.
Jimmy's shot him.
Judy has stopped screaming. Hazel on the other hand is
freaking out, trapped under a squirming Dinko.
Jimmy sets the camera on top of something, stands up and
brings the gun to Judy.
JIMMY
Take it!
Judy doesn't know what to do. Jimmy puts the gun in her
hand.
JIMMY
Finish him off! He deserves a
bullet right in the fucking face,
doesn't he?
Judy's in a weird cranked out place.
JUDY
(nervous, cranked out)
Yeah. Yeah. He does.
JIMMY
Then do it.
Judy points the gun at a still squirming Dinko. She can't
bring herself to pull the trigger.
79.
We can hear Dinko choking on his own blood. He struggles to
move towards Judy.
Jimmy's now standing behind Judy. He wraps his hand around
hers, helps her point the gun and...
BAM
Shoots Dinko right between the eyes. Jimmy helps her again.
BAM-BAM
Two more shots into his chest, Jimmy's hand still wrapped
around Judy's over the gun.
Jimmy lets go of her hand and the gun drops to the floor.
She's stunned.
Jimmy comes towards camera and shuts it down.
CAMERA ON:
I/E. ROAD LEAVING TRAILER/DINKO'S CAR - NIGHT
A rip roaring fire burns from the trailer. Jimmy is shooting
out of the back of the Dinko's Car, a beat up old station
wagon, as they drive away down the gravel road.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Good bye Dinko, mother fucker.
Thanks for letting us borrow your
car, and for the cash.
JUDY (O.C.)
And for the crank!
Jimmy sits back into his seat and turns the camera on Judy.
She's got a big smile on her face.
JIMMY (O.C.)
You feeling good baby?
JUDY
I feel calm. I don't care about
anything.
Jimmy keeps filming.
JUDY
What are we going to do with the
car Jimmy?
80.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Ditch it.
JUDY
The crank?
JIMMY (O.C.)
Snort it. Give some of it away.
JUDY
The cash.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Vacation baby. Anywhere we want to
go.
Judy smiles. She turns and blows a kiss towards the camera,
oddly serene from the drugs despite everything that's
happened. To her, it's as if all is right with the world.
Camera shuts down.
CAMERA ON:
INT. LAS VEGAS - WEDDING CHAPEL - NIGHT
Jimmy is standing on the altar waiting for his bride to be.
He is wearing a white tuxedo with black tie and ruffle shirt
like Ricardo Montalban from Fantasy Island.
They are being married by an Elvis impersonator and the
witnesses/groomsmen are Siegfried and Roy look-a-likes.
Jimmy waves to the person who is working the camera. The
Elvis impersonator talks to Jimmy.
ELVIS
You know the video's gonna cost you
twenty extra, right?
JIMMY
Yeah.
ELVIS
Well alright then. Let's get this
sum bitch started!
Elvis reaches down and gets a guitar and breaks into an Elvis
version of "Here Comes the Bride" but to the song "You ain't
Nothing But A Hound Dog."
81.
ELVIS
Weeeeeelllll, you ain't nothing but
a young bride... walking down the
aisle.
The Elvis impersonator goes all out with the dance and the
gyrating Elvis hips as he jams on his acoustic guitar.
Jimmy motions to the camera to turn around.
JIMMY
Here she comes.
ELVIS (O.C.)
You ain't nothing but a young
bride... walking down the aisle.
The camera whips around and we see Judy walking down the
aisle. Tears of joy run down Judy's heavily made up face as
she walks.
ELVIS
Well, if you don't marry Jimmy,
then you ain't no friend of mine.
Judy makes her way over to her side of the altar next to her
bridesmaids (two Cher look-a-likes).
ELVIS
Do you...
Elvis is looking for Judy's name that's been scribbled on
paper.
JIMMY
(helping)
Judy. And here, we wrote our own
vows.
He hands Elvis a small piece of paper who skims it. He kind
of shakes his head, smirking at what he reads, then decides
to go for it.
Elvis gives a quick windmill strum to his guitar and starts.
ELVIS
Do you Judy promise to always
swallow, to never cut your hair, or
have another man's penis injected
into any part of your body for as
long as you both shall live?
The Cher bridesmaids giggle.
82.
JUDY
I do.
ELVIS
Do you Jimmy promise to always fuck
Judy with enthusiasm, to take a
shower once a day, and promise not
to inject your penis into any part
of another person's body as long as
you both shall live?
JIMMY
I do.
ELVIS
Can I get the rings?
Siegfried gives the rings to Jimmy who places one on Judy's
finger and vice versa.
ELVIS
With the power vested in me by the
great state of Nevada... I do
herby pronounce you husband and
wife. You may kiss the bride.
Jimmy and Judy grab each other by the ass and begin making
out.
The freak show audience claps while they are making out. The
applauding dies down but Jimmy and Judy continue to make out.
Jimmy puts his hand up her dress as she begins unbuckling his
pants. It looks like they may start fucking on the alter.
Elvis jumps in to break it up.
ELVIS
All right you two. We got a
schedule to keep.
Camera shuts down.
CAMERA ON:
INT. LAS VEGAS - LAS VEGAS MOTEL ROOM - NIGHT
Jimmy is running through the motel room with the camera.
Flashes of snorted lines of crank dust and rolled up bills
are in the background as Jimmy moves through the room. We
hear Judy screaming with excitement about something on the
TV.
83.
JUDY (O.C.)
Hurry up Jimmy, hurry, hurry,
hurry, shit Jimmy. You're going to
miss it.
Jimmy settles camera on the television.
BEGIN TV NEWS REPORT
On TV, Jimmy and Judy's high school year book pictures are on
the screen.
INT. TV NEWS STUDIO - (FOR VEGAS MOTEL TV) - NIGHT
An ANCHORMAN is mid-sentence, talking about Jimmy and Judy.
ANCHORMAN
...press conference in a few
moments. The suspect's names are
James Wright and Judy Elizabeth
Oaks-Kellen...
JUDY (O.C.)
No it's not! I'm Judy Wright now!
(sing songy, like a little
girl)
I'm Judy Wright now!
JIMMY (O.C.)
Shhhh... Shut up!
ANCHORMAN
...from Burlington, Kentucky are
wanted for questioning in the
alleged murder of a Hamilton County
Sheriff's Deputy that was killed
two nights ago while on Patrol in
the Over the Rhine section of
Cincinnati. On a very serious
note, the producers here at KPX-TV
4 would like to warn you that the
images we are about to show are
violent and graphic in nature and
may not be suitable for young
children. Once again, these are
the images that were taken from a
video camera that was mounted on
board the patrol car. Viewer
discretion is advised.
Judy gasps involuntarily as...
84.
INT. LAS VEGAS - LAS VEGAS MOTEL ROOM - NIGHT
Jimmy pulls the camera from the screen and points it at Judy
to get her reaction. Her eyes are locked on the screen.
Judy's face drops. We, on the other hand, are dying to see
what she's looking at.
Jimmy swish pans back to the TV and zooms in tight. The
television fills the frame.
EXT. GHETTO - COP CAR CAM (FOR VEGAS MOTEL) - NIGHT
(From Sc. 37, p. 64) On screen we see something completely
new. It's a black and white security cam style video image.
Just as the announcer described, this is the kind of image
that comes from a video camera that's mounted on the inside
of a Cop Car. It's static and covered with date/time text,
etc.
On TV, we finally get a chance to see what transpired when
Jimmy and Judy were pulled over. Judy is standing outside
the cop car. The moment she sees it approach, we see her
freak just a bit and get into the car quickly and
suspiciously. The cop gets up, gets out of the car and goes
over to the driver side to talk to Jimmy. After a few
moments, he summons Jimmy out of the car while Judy waits.
The Cop asks Jimmy to open the trunk. He doesn't have his
gun drawn, but he is being cautious, one hand on his gun
holster, the other shining on Jimmy's face with a flashlight.
COP
(on TV)
Go ahead and open it.
Jimmy stands by the trunk of the car, but he's not really
obeying the Cop's commands. He's stalling. The Cop is
getting suspicious. We can barely hear what they're saying
to each other over the noise of traffic that whizzes by.
There's an unintelligible exchange, then... the cop steps
forward, raising his voice.
COP
(on TV)
Put your hands on the vehicle.
Jimmy's reluctant.
COP
(on TV)
On the vehicle, now!
85.
The Cop and Jimmy are sort of at a standoff. Jimmy finally
leans over and puts his hands on the trunk.
The Cop comes in close to Jimmy, pulling his hand from his
gun holster and shifting it to pull his cuffs off his belt.
At that exact moment, Jimmy makes his move, LEAPING for the
Cop.
He takes the Cop to the ground and off screen.
All we see is a barely decipherable image of Judy freaking
out in the passenger seat because she can't see what's going
on and neither can we.
About 5 seconds go by.
BOOM!
A gunshot is fired.
It feels like an eternity, then...
Jimmy pops up off the ground. He's got the Cop's gun! He
hesitates, not knowing what to do. He pauses, hesitant, then
shoots down towards the ground, where the cop is lying out of
frame.
He runs around the front of the car and into the driver seat.
There's a moment of hesitation as Jimmy and Judy seem to be
screaming at each other in the car, then...
Jimmy slams on the gas and the car takes off into the
distance.
The image on the TV cuts away and back to the Anchorman.
INT. TV NEWS STUDIO (FOR VEGAS MOTEL TV) - NIGHT
The Anchorman speaks to camera as...
INT. LAS VEGAS - LAS VEGAS MOTEL ROOM - NIGHT
Jimmy pans up to Judy, hoping to record a reaction. She's
locked on the TV, her hand over her mouth, frozen, not
knowing how to react.
She turns and looks up at him.
JIMMY (O.C.)
I didn't want us to be apart.
86.
Judy's starting to tear up. She's emotional, conflicted.
She can't believe he did that for her, but she's also just
come to the sober realization that he killed a cop in cold
blood for her.
JIMMY (O.C.)
They know who we are now.
(making light)
Actually, we're famous now.
Judy kind of half smiles. She hadn't thought of it, but
she's still trying to digest the images until...
JUDY
That's the most romantic thing I've
ever even heard of.
A voice catches Judy's attention from the TV. It's an
ATTORNEY type at a press conference being held by Jimmy's
parents.
ATTORNEY (O.C.)
(on TV)
...have a few words and then we'll
be taking questions.
Judy looks back at the TV.
JUDY
Oh my God, that's my parents! And
your parents!
Jimmy pans back and we see...
EXT. COURTHOUSE - PODIUM PRESS CONF. (FOR VEAGS TV) - DAY
Jimmy's Mom and Dad with a chiron at the bottom of frame.
They're at a podium with Judy's parents standing stoically in
the background. Jimmy's Mom starts reading a prepared
statement.
JIMMY'S MOM
(on TV)
We are very shocked about recent
events. Our son has always been a
dear sweet boy who is sometimes
confused, but we want him to know
that we love him very, very much
and just want this whole thing to
be over.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Bitch.
87.
JUDY (O.C.)
Shhhh...
Judy's Dad steps up to the microphone. Despite the truth, he
sounds genuinely concerned.
JUDY'S DAD
Jimmy if you're out there, we know
you're scared, but you're only
making it worse. Please bring Judy
back to us. We really miss her
terribly.
Jim walks over to the TV and...
INT. LAS VEGAS - LAS VEGAS MOTEL ROOM - NIGHT
Jimmy proceeds to kick the living fuck out of the TV. It
smashes against the wall and falls to the floor.
END TV NEWS REPORT
Camera shuts down.
CAMERA ON:
INT. BUN BOY MOTEL ROOM - BATHROOM - DAY
Jimmy is filming the both of them in the mirror. Judy stands
above him with noticeably different hair. She has obviously
given herself a homemade dye job, complete with blonde, black
and punk pink streaks.
Judy has an electric clipper and is about to shave Jimmy's
head, who is sitting in a chair below her. She's really
getting off on this and chuckles as she starts to lower the
shaver to his head.
JIMMY
Wait a second.
JUDY
What?
JIMMY
I just want to look at myself one
last time with hair.
Judy is smiling and can't wait to get started.
JUDY
OK, that's enough.
88.
She starts in again.
JIMMY
Stop.
JUDY
What's the matter?
JIMMY
I'm not sure about this.
JUDY
Come on. I changed mine.
JIMMY
Yeah, but you look fucking great.
JUDY
This was your idea Jimmy.
Jimmy thinks.
JIMMY
Fuck it. Let's do this thing.
Judy starts the shaver back up and proceeds to shave Jimmy's
head. She starts right down the middle.
Hair falls into Jimmy's face as Judy slides the buzzer from
front to back. Jimmy now has a reverse Mohawk. He laughs at
himself along with Judy.
JIMMY
This is the look.
Judy then shaves the entire top of Jimmy's head, giving him
the quintessential male pattern baldness look.
He looks ridiculous.
JIMMY
(joking)
Let's just leave it like this.
Judy laughs.
JUDY
Don't be stupid.
Judy shaves the rest of his head and now Jimmy is completely
bald.
Jimmy checks himself out in the mirror.
89.
JIMMY
I am one ugly mother fucker.
Judy is stroking the top of his head with her hands.
JUDY
It feels funny.
Jimmy gives it a feel for himself. He sticks his pinky in
the side of his mouth.
JIMMY
I look like Dr. Evil.
Judy laughs, then kisses the top of Jimmy's head.
JIMMY
Come on. Let's go across the
street and get a shit burger.
Jimmy shuts down the camera.
CAMERA ON:
I/E. BUN BOY - DINER/PARKING LOT/DINKO'S CAR - HIGHWAY - DAY
In a booth at the motel diner, Judy is filming Jimmy while he
stuffs a burger into his face.
JUDY (O.C.)
You're such a fucking pig when you
eat.
Jimmy opens his mouth full of food and comes towards camera.
JIMMY
Aaaaaaaaaahhh!
JUDY (O.C.)
Gross. That's it. I'm not taking
you to the country club, ever!
That didn't quite sit right with him, but he covers it up
with a mock pout while he chews.
JUDY (O.C.)
(mocking)
Awww... I'm sorry. Did I hurt your
feelings?
Jimmy won't respond, playful.
90.
JUDY (O.C.)
I'll take you to the country club.
I promise.
Jimmy looks up smiling.
JIMMY
When?
JUDY (O.C.)
I don't know.
Judy pauses. Jimmy keeps chewing.
JUDY (O.C.)
Thanks for marrying me. You're my
prince charming that came and
swooped me off me feet.
The irony is thick. Bald, lanky, 21 year old Jimmy with a
mouth full of food looks like anything but Prince Charming.
JUDY (O.C.)
And one day, we're gonna have a
house and a white picket fence and
a baby. Tell me what you think we
should name the baby.
Jimmy stops smiling. She really believes that's going to
happen one day.
JUDY (O.C.)
What's wrong?
Jimmy doesn't want to answer. While he thinks...
Something out the window distracts him.
JUDY (O.C.)
What?
JIMMY
Shhhh. Shut up.
(grabbing camera)
Give it to me.
Jimmy whips the camera around to zoom in on what he's looking
through the window. Finally, we see...
Two Florence County Sheriff's Cars with their lights flashing
are parked in the parking lot of the cheap motel.
Jimmy zooms in on the cops as they get out of their cars.
91.
JUDY (O.C.)
What are they doing?
JIMMY (O.C.)
Shhh.
The cops walk up to one of the doors to the motel room.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Shit.
Four Florence Deputies stand outside the motel room door,
ready to bust it in and raid the room.
JUDY (O.C.)
What?
Jimmy speaks in hushed tones so that others in the diner
won't hear them.
JIMMY (O.C.)
They're outside our room.
JUDY (O.C.)
Oh God, Jimmy! They know where we
are. We're going to get caught!
Florence Deputy #1 knocks on the door, waits a beat, then
busts it down. Three Florence Deputies move in with their
guns drawn.
JUDY (O.C.)
Jimmy!
JIMMY (O.C.)
(to self)
Let's go.
Jimmy forgets to shut the camera down. He holds it by his
waist as the two quickly struggle to get the hell out of the
diner.
Follow along with them, camera by Jimmy's side, mostly
pointing randomly at the floor of the diner or out the
window.
They head out the door to the...
PARKING LOT
Action continues, the camera still rolling without Jimmy
realizing it. They run at a fast clip along the parking lot
as they head toward...
92.
DINKO'S CAR
JIMMY (O.C.)
Get in.
Jimmy slides into the driver seat and throws the camera onto
the dashboard. We see Jimmy behind the wheel as they drive
out of the parking lot. He's in freak-out mode, afraid as
hell they're going to be caught by the cops.
JUDY (O.C.)
They don't see us.
JIMMY
I know. Just shut up! Let me
think.
Jimmy keeps driving, his eyes darting back and forth between
the road, the rear view mirror and Judy.
JIMMY
Are they coming?
JUDY (O.C.)
I don't know. I don't think so.
Jimmy looks back up into the rear view mirror, still not 100%
satisfied that they're not being chased.
JUDY (O.C.)
No. I don't think they're coming.
Jimmy's still not certain. He looks for a while. Then he
sighs. It seems that he knows they're not coming.
JIMMY
(relief)
Oh, fuck.
(to Judy)
That was close.
Jimmy drives for a bit, then notices that the camera is on
and pointing at him. He reaches forward and...
Camera shuts down.
CAMERA ON:
I/E. PARKING AREA BY RIVER AFTER BUN BOY ESCAPE/DINKO'S CAR -
DAY
Jimmy films Judy, who is sleeping in the front seat of the
car.
93.
Jimmy gently wakes her.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Hey baby, wake up baby. Time to
get up little fuck nugget.
Judy opens her eyes. The first thing she sees is Jimmy
filming her.
Judy smiles like an infant who sees her daddy for the first
time after a night's sleep. Judy, very childlike, opens her
arms for Jimmy to hug her.
Jimmy leans over, camera in hand, and gives her a hug. The
camera shakes and goes out of focus as he's hugging her.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Good morning Mrs. Wright. And how
are we feeling this afternoon?
Judy looks around and is a bit disoriented.
JUDY
Where are we?
JIMMY (O.C.)
It's a surprise. Come on. I want
you to drive us in. I want to film
you when we get there.
JUDY
(big smile)
Okay.
Camera shuts down.
CAMERA ON:
I/E. RODNEY'S WUNDERLAND - BACKROAD ENTRY/PARKING
AREA/DINKO'S CAR - DAY
Judy drives up a gravel road as Jimmy films. They travel
through the back roads in Northern Kentucky. It's nothing
but woods outside the window.
JUDY
What am I gonna see?
Jimmy doesn't answer.
JUDY
I hate it when you do that. Tell
me!
94.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Nope. Keep looking.
Judy drives some more. The camera is bouncing as they drive
across dirt roads.
Judy tries to maintain her composure, but she can't contain
herself.
JUDY
How much further! Aaa!
JIMMY (O.C.)
Shhh. Just drive.
Judy bites her lip and drives. Slowly, she comes around a
bend as they arrive at...
UNCLE RODNEY'S WUNDERLAND/PARKING AREA
Judy's eyes go wide.
JUDY
Oh my God. Is that it?
Jimmy doesn't say anything. He just keeps the camera trained
on Judy. By the look on her face, what she's seeing looks
pretty cool.
JUDY
Is this where your friend lives?
Jimmy points the camera through the front windshield. Now we
see what Judy was seeing... about thirty trailers, all along
the water's edge.
It looks like a commune for run-away teenagers with crank
addictions and budding/wannabe drug dealers. The kids are
throwing a combination party, barbecue, and drug festival.
JIMMY (O.C.)
This is where we live.
JUDY
We do?
JIMMY (O.C.)
Maybe. If you want to. For a
little while.
Judy doesn't respond. She just drives. Her eyes are
starting to well up a little bit. She's getting emotional.
95.
JUDY
This is sooo amazing. It's like a
dream.
Judy's on cloud nine. The place has exceeded her
expectations.
Judy keeps driving as we see young people, all more or less
the same age as Jimmy and Judy. Some live in trailers, some
in tents. They watch as Jimmy and Judy drive in. Clearly
new faces are of interest to them.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Go over here.
Out the window, they approach another trailer. Clearly this
trailer is more important than the others.
Outside, a dorky looking douche bag type, BUDDY (20's) talks
to some of the Younger People in intense language. They all
look over to see Jimmy and Judy approaching.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Stop here.
You can hear the excitement in Jimmy's voice as Judy stops
the car.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Take it.
Jimmy hands off the camera to Judy, who retrains it on the
Buddy and the Wunderland Teenagers he talks to.
Jimmy gets out of Dinko's car and heads up to him while Judy
films. We don't hear the conversation between Jimmy and
Buddy man, but clearly he's happy to see Jimmy.
Buddy gives Jimmy a big hug like he was a missed relative or
an old friend. It's all smiles between the two of them.
Jimmy comes running back over to the car.
JUDY (O.C.)
Is that Uncle Rodney?
JIMMY
No, that's Buddy. He said Rodney's
been expecting us. We're, like,
celebrities or something Judy.
JUDY (O.C.)
Really?
96.
JIMMY
Yeah! He wants to meet you.
JUDY
Wow.
Camera shakes as Judy starts out of the car. Camera shuts
down.
CAMERA ON:
EXT. RODNEY'S WUNDERLAND - OUTSIDE RODNEY'S TRAILER - DAY
Buddy is standing outside of a Piece Of Shit Trailer. He's
the douche bag type that we saw from a distance give Jimmy a
hug in the previous scene.
He's surprisingly charismatic and gracious and does his best
to make Jimmy and Judy feel at home.
Jimmy films as Buddy gives them a walking tour of the group
of trailers by the river. Judy's with them as well.
BUDDY
We got like thirty five trailers
here. Long as we've got some
that's empty you can stay in one.
Sometimes people come in and we got
get you a tent or-- fuck,
everybody's friendly--- you can
always find a bed to crash in.
Jimmy's panning around the landscape. People are watching
them walk with Buddy. It's almost as if they've got some
kind of celebrity status because they're with him.
BUDDY
It don't look like much but we do
some pretty good partying around
here. Ya'll are welcome to stay as
long as ya like. Fuck it, you can
stay forever. There's only two
rules. Don't mess around with the
labs which are down back there...
Jimmy's panning again, but BUDDY grabs hold of the lens.
BUDDY
Woah... No filming that shit.
Seriously. That's part of rule
number one.
(MORE)
97.
BUDDY (cont'd)
Don't even go near there with the
camera, and two is no cops, but
fuck, seeing what kinda shit you
guys got into, I don't think we
gotta worry about you calling 'em
up for a visit.
BUDDY laughs at his own joke.
BUDDY
Other than that, ya'll can do
whatever the hell you want,
whenever the hell you want. You
wanna do some of the stash at the
parties, that's cool too. We'd
like it if you do it, normally we'd
say you gotta sell some too, but
Rodney says y'all's is a special
case 'cuz you ain't leaving 'til
the heat's off for sure, that could
be months or... shit, years for you
guys. But no one up here's in a
fucking hurry.
Jimmy pans around capturing the natural beauty and
picturesque scenery of the camp.
BUDDY
Look at you. Little bitch from the
nut house, and you got yourself one
sweet looking bride! I still can't
get over the tits on this girl.
(to Judy)
Come here sweetheart.
Jimmy pans back and catches an image of Buddy as he grabs
Judy and puts his arm around her.
BUDDY
We're gonna have a party for y'all
tonight. You know that? We have
parties damn near every night, but
this one's gonna be special just
for you guys.
(to Judy)
You like that sweety?
Buddy's squeezing Judy just a bit too tight.
JUDY
Sure Buddy.
98.
BUDDY
(to Jimmy)
Nice piece of ass you got here.
Best you keep an eye on it so it
don't wander off on ya.
They've arrived at a trailer.
BUDDY
We're here!
Jimmy pans back up at the trailer that's going to be theirs.
From the outside, it's a disaster, peeling paint and cracked
windows.
Buddy gets in front of the camera, reaching for it.
BUDDY
Shit! Y'all's on your honeymoon.
Ain't gonna film it yourselves.
Buddy pulls the camera from Jimmy's hand and points it at
Jimmy and Judy. Judy waves. Jimmy looks a bit uncomfortable
though he tries not to show it.
BUDDY (O.C.)
That's nice.
Shaky amateur camera style as Buddy zooms in on Judy's chest,
closing Jimmy out of frame.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Let's go inside.
Judy turns.
BUDDY (O.C.)
(shouting)
Hold on! Hold on!
Camera shuts down.
CAMERA ON:
INT. RODNEY'S WUNDERLAND - JIMMY & JUDY'S TRAILER - DAY
Buddy films from the inside their completely destroyed
trailer. Jimmy stands at the entrance with Judy in his arms,
about to carry her over the threshold. They're waiting for
BUDDY's cue.
BUDDY (O.C.)
And, three, two, one... Now!
99.
Jimmy walks in through the doorway with Judy in his arms.
Buddy is exuberant. He hums the bridal march, badly, as they
come in.
BUDDY (O.C.)
All right! Look at the happy couple
coming into their new home.
(wedding march)
Da, da, da, dum...
Buddy looks down at the camera, right into the lens.
BUDDY
How do you turn this thing off?
After a beat, camera goes off.
EXT. RODNEY'S WUNDERLAND - PARTY AND BARBECUE - SALLY'S SPOT -
DAY
Jimmy is filming SALLY, a very sexy and very stoned 18 year
old girl wearing sunglasses and cowboy hat.
She speaks with a heavy southern accent.
SALLY
Just give your love to Uncle Rodney
and you'll get it back ten times.
Don't be afraid to love him and
you'll learn to love yourself in
return. He'll teach you the cycle,
how we're all connected. If you
give yourself freely and completely
to him, you'll have nothing to
worry about. That's what I did.
Camera shuts down.
CAMERA ON:
EXT. RODNEY'S WUNDERLAND - PARTY AND BARBECUE - SAM'S SPOT -
DAY
Jimmy is filming Random Teens at a barbecue. Jimmy is
interviewing SAM, a long greasy haired, nineteen year old
wearing a heavy metal T-shirt. We see people partying and
hanging out in the background.
SAM is drinking beer from a can, smoking a cigarette, and
looks like he hasn't showered for a couple of days. He's
happy to be Jimmy's video subject.
100.
SAM
Ya'll are going to love it here
man. See this?
Sam motions behind him at the people partying.
SAM
This shit goes on every day. I
been here for six months man and I
love it. Thank God my parents
kicked me out... All you got do is
listen to Uncle Rodney and you'll
have the best fucking time of your
life. Oh, yeah.
(big dopey grin)
And don't fuck with him, 'cuz he'll
kick your ass!
Sam laughs at his own dumb joke. Jimmy shuts off the camera.
CAMERA ON:
EXT. RODNEY'S WUNDERLAND - DOE RUN CREEK - DAY
Jimmy films a naked Judy swimming in the river the
reflections of the water obscuring her body. She's free,
cleansed, relaxed, enjoying the sun, and having the time of
her life. She suddenly notices the camera.
JUDY
Jimmy, come swimming. The water's
warm.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Is it?
Judy smiles, then slips her head under the water, coming back
up with a smile. She looks up at him.
JUDY
Come on.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Later. I just want to look at you
now.
JUDY
Why?
Jimmy thinks. She smiles an oh so sweet smile.
101.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Because you look happy, happier
than you've looked in a long time.
Judy smiles even wider. She floats towards camera while
Jimmy zooms in on her smiling face.
As she comes closer...
SHE SPLASHES towards the camera, trying to get Jimmy wet.
Camera shakes as Jimmy hops up to avoid be splashed.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Hey!
Judy LAUGHS. Camera goes off.
CAMERA ON:
INT. RODNEY'S WUNDERLAND - JIMMY & JUDY'S TRAILER - NIGHT
Faint moonlight comes into the trailer from outside. Jimmy
is filming Judy as she's just gotten into bed. She sees the
camera's on.
JUDY
Hey again.
JIMMY (O.C.)
So you like it here?
Judy smiles again. Then...
JUDY
How long will they let us stay?
JIMMY (O.C.)
It's up to Uncle Rodney.
Judy smiles at the thought of Rodney.
JUDY
What's he like?
JIMMY (O.C.)
I never met him. He's supposed to
be cool, though... and weird.
Weird as hell.
JUDY
Well if he's weird, he's great
weird, whatever he is.
(MORE)
102.
JUDY (cont'd)
If we could stay here forever, like
Buddy said, I wouldn't need
anything else.
Judy's looking right over the lens into Jimmy's eyes.
Then...
JUDY
The cops won't come will they?
JIMMY (O.C.)
Buddy said Rodney's cousin's the
Sheriff or something. Do you want
to meet him?
JUDY
(surprised)
The Sheriff?
JIMMY (O.C.)
No! Rodney.
JUDY
(lights up)
Can I?
JIMMY (O.C.)
I'm gonna see him tomorrow. Buddy
says he wants to talk to me. Maybe
he wants to talk to you too.
JUDY
He does?
JIMMY (O.C.)
I don't know. Buddy said he
thought you were pretty.
JUDY
Oh my God!
Judy puts her hand over her mouth. She can't believe it.
JIMMY (O.C.)
I told you you were. You're the
prettiest girl in the world.
Judy's on such a cloud nine high, she's almost in tears. She
wraps her arms around him and SQUEALS with delight, pushing
the camera into an awkward position as she smothers him with
kisses, then squeezes him tight, like she's going to squeeze
the life out of him.
She whispers in his ear.
103.
JUDY
(whispers)
I love you Jimmy.
JIMMY
Me too.
Camera off.
CAMERA ON:
EXT. RODNEY'S WUNDERLAND - OUTSIDE RODNEY'S TRAILER - DAY
Head to toe shot on Jimmy. Buddy, we'll find out in a
second, is behind the camera. Jimmy looks at a trailer off
screen. He's excited, a little off center and a little
nervous.
Buddy tries to film Jimmy as he's walking towards Rodney's
trailer.
BUDDY (O.C.)
You nervous?
JIMMY
(lying)
No.
BUDDY (O.C.)
I would be.
JIMMY
He's suppose to be cool.
BUDDY (O.C.)
He's more than cool man. God, you
really don't have a clue do you?
Jimmy stops for a second.
JIMMY
Um... Judy wants to meet him. I
don't know if I can ask.
BUDDY (O.C.)
Shit man. Don't have to. She's
one of his girls, man. She'll meet
him.
Jimmy stops in his tracks and looks at Buddy.
JIMMY
What the fuck does that mean?
104.
BUDDY (O.C.)
Relax dude... Just like you're one
of his boys. Shit man, I'll give
you two weeks and you'll WANT her
to experience him. You may even
want to, too.
Jimmy looks at Buddy, not quite sure what to do with any of
it. Buddy senses the tension.
BUDDY (O.C.)
Just go see him. Here, take your
camera.
Buddy extends the camera, lens forward. We can see Jimmy's
puzzled look.
BUDDY (O.C.)
He wants you to film him, man.
With the camera. He'll tell you
when to turn it on, then you video.
Jimmy's puzzled, but he reaches forward and takes the camera,
shutting it down.
CAMERA ON:
INT. RODNEY'S WUNDERLAND - UNCLE RODNEY'S TRAILER - DAY
Images of UNCLE RODNEY (50) going in and out of focus as he
sits on the side of a king sized bed. Scars and tatoos
litter his arms and neck. His eyes are bit maniacal like
Charles Manson, but he's able to maintain a stoic, but
nonetheless dangerous demeanor as Jimmy begins setting up the
camera.
Like a prison inmate or rabid dog, you get the feeling that
Uncle Rodney could EXPLODE on you at any second.
Jimmy moves the camera around the room so we briefly see the
interior of the trailer. It's an ELABORATE triple
combination of a middle eastern harem, sixties psychedelic
motif, and white trash/junk-yard memorabilia.
JUST OUT OF FRAME we hear a female voice crying softly,
whimpering. The voice is close, in the room with us, but we
can't see who's making the sounds. Uncle Rodney ignores it
completely.
Camera shakes, indicating that Jimmy is exceptionally
nervous.
105.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Just one second.
UNCLE RODNEY
Take your time man. I want you to
feel comfortable. More
importantly, I want you to get this
right.
Finally, the camera stops shaking. Jimmy zooms out to a
medium shot revealing that Uncle Rodney has HAZEL lying next
to him on the bed with her head on his lap.
Uncle Rodney gently strokes her hair like he's petting a dog.
Hazel, in the midst of EXTREME withdrawals, cries and
whimpers like a child, oblivious to Jimmy, the camera, and
everything else in the world except for Uncle Rodney.
She is so strung out and her cravings are so intense that she
can barely speak.
JIMMY (O.C.)
I'm ready whenever you are.
Uncle Rodney looks down upon Hazel.
UNCLE RODNEY
Just a second. I have to take care
of my baby.
Uncle Rodney admires his work.
UNCLE RODNEY
She's beautiful isn't she?
HAZEL
(begging, pleading)
Please...
Hazel, entrenched in a crystal methamphetamine psychotic
episode, can only gasp in unintelligible spurts.
UNCLE RODNEY
Some people come here too far gone.
Like Hazel here. The only thing I
can do for her is ease her pain.
Hazel rolls her body back and forth on the bed, all the while
keeping her head in Uncle Rodney's lap.
HAZEL
Please...
106.
UNCLE RODNEY
(to Hazel)
Shhhhh... How about a baby one?
Uncle Rodney's tenderness in dealing with Hazel calms her.
He's having way too much fun treating her like a baby.
HAZEL
Yes.
Uncle Rodney takes his pinky and dips it into a small plastic
bag of powder. He then places it to Hazel's nostril.
She quickly snorts the tiny bit off his finger.
UNCLE RODNEY
(to Hazel)
There you go...
Hazel begins whimpering again. It wasn't nearly enough to
satisfy her.
UNCLE RODNEY
There's something about addiction
that brings out something beautiful
in a person. Addiction is pure.
Addiction reduces a person to an
infant. And there's nothing more
pure and beautiful in the world
than an infant.
He puts his finger to Hazel's nostril again, but this time,
without any meth on the tip. She snorts with all of her
might then starts crying. Uncle Rodney is toying with her.
UNCLE RODNEY
Hazel is no longer an adult. She's
an infant and I'm the surrogate
mother who provides her with much
needed breast milk. It's a role
that both of us have accepted and
embrace.
He leans over and grabs a syringe, already filled, then
gently holds Hazel's arm and expertly injects the liquid into
her vein.
Nothing happens for several seconds.
Hazel's breathing accelerates. Suddenly she sits up, her
eyes go wide. Hazel clinches the bed as if she were riding a
roller coaster.
107.
UNCLE RODNEY
(proudly)
That's my girl!
Then, she makes eye contact with Jimmy.
A curious, frightened look comes over her face. Clearly, she
recognizes him.
She suddenly JUMPS from the bed and runs out of the room.
UNCLE RODNEY
She's a little jumpy.
Uncle Rodney smiles, amusing himself with his own joke.
UNCLE RODNEY
Let's begin shall we? And
please... I'm going to use this
tape for my fans, so let's try to
get this right.
JIMMY (O.C.)
OK.
UNCLE RODNEY
I apologize if any of this
frightens you or makes you
uncomfortable.
JIMMY (O.C.)
I'll be fine.
UNCLE RODNEY
No. You won't be fine. What I'm
going to teach you will be
frightening. The truth is an
acquired taste but once you get to
it, it's all you'll ever want.
Uncle Rodney starts in on his mantra. It's obvious that he's
well versed in his meandering rant.
UNCLE RODNEY
Those kids out there... we, the so
called "undesirables" - you and me,
we know the truth. You know that
society doesn't want you, your
parents don't want you, corporate
America sure as fuck doesn't want
you... You wouldn't be here
otherwise.
(MORE)
108.
UNCLE RODNEY (cont'd)
If this government had a choice,
they'd gas us all in a heartbeat,
exterminate us like the Jews,
enslave us like niggers, cuz don't
kid yourself, WE ARE the new
niggers in this country. No one
respects us... No one sees what we
have to offer... No one has
compassion for us.... They don't
care, or they're too naive to see
that we're a by-product of a
wasteful society that has failed to
educate, embrace, influence, or
inspire any of us. We're societal
garbage. The counter culture no
longer exists. It's dead... It's
been replaced by us--
Long pause.
UNCLE RODNEY
The garbage culture... thrown
aside, imprisoned,
institutionalized, systematically
abused, executed, and enlisted into
wars started by government ass-
fuckers just to kill us off. JUST
TO KILL US OFF. And every week one
of you shows up here,
disillusioned, addicted, angry,
pissed 'cuz they tossed you
aside... into the garbage. Every
time someone like you shows up here
the garbage culture gets a little
bit stronger and they get a little
bit weaker. Until the "them" and
the "they" of this country run out
of places to put us, to put its
garbage, and the garbage OVER-FLOWS
into their cities from out of the
confines of the spaces that they
have set aside for us.
A pause, then...
UNCLE RODNEY
(biblical)
And we will SET FIRE to their
world! And we will burn it, until
a living HELL REIGNS over what was
their former world, and we will
fornicate in their ashes!
Rodney stops, almost out of breath.
109.
UNCLE RODNEY
That's what's here for you. That's
what's here...
Rodney settles himself down and takes a few deep breaths as
Jimmy begins zooming out. Uncle Rodney lights a cigarette to
calm himself.
Jimmy keeps filming, not knowing whether Rodney is finished
or just taking a break.
Camera shuts down.
CAMERA ON:
EXT. RODNEY'S WUNDERLAND - FIRE PIT - NIGHT
Someone (Buddy) is filming a raging party consisting of a lot
of strung out young white trash junkies just like the ones
Jimmy was interviewing before. It's certainly a weird bunch.
They all look alike, dress similar, and have the same type of
crystal methamphetamine induced facial expressions.
Most of them are smoking weed and drinking forty ounce beers
while dancing around a campfire and playing the bongo drums.
They all seem to be having more fun than anyone should be
allowed.
Camera pans to Jimmy, so we realize that he's not filming.
Our best guess would be that it's Buddy who's filming. Jimmy
screams at the camera over the noise of the Bongo drums.
JIMMY
Where's Judy?
Buddy's hand comes into frame as he points by the fire pit.
We now see Jimmy see Judy.
She dances fervently drinking a forty surrounded by tons of
other drunk, happily intoxicated teenagers. Say what you
might about the attendees to the event, this party is a
FUCKING RAGER and Judy is happy to be the center of
everyone's attention.
Everyone dances faster and faster as the rhythm of drums beat
faster and become more intense. It's an all out jam session.
Jimmy heads to the center of the circle of people dancing
around Judy. Camera follows him with a zoom as he does.
JUMP CUT
110.
Who knows how much later. Minutes or hours, the party rages
forward. The camera spins around. The party has reached a
new level of drunken absurdity. Most of those who are
dancing are drunk, stoned or both.
In the background, while it's too dark and hectic see
anything explicit, some of the teenagers are engaged in a
variety of sexual activity. Some have threesomes. Some are
probably having oral sex. Still others dance around them in
the foreground.
Camera zooms in on Uncle Rodney.
Standing just behind him, we see of flash of someone
recognizable. It's a skinny woman, she looks vaguely
familiar, but it's hard to get a fix with all the craziness
going on.
She turns her head to look over at Rodney.
Now we can clearly see that this person is...
HAZEL - with her eyes wide and clearly in the height of
rolling on crank.
AND she's saying something to Uncle Rodney that's definitely
pissing him off.
Bodies wipe the frame.
JUMP CUT
Moments later. Camera catches Judy who hasn't missed a step
along the way to being a high, drunken mess. The rhythm of
the drum beats is ever present.
Uncle Rodney comes up behind her and wraps his arms around
her shoulder, saying something to her, but we can't hear it
over the noise. Jimmy approaches and they start talking.
Jimmy doesn't notice, but there are about four or five of the
kids, especially a couple of Rodney's Bigger Guys standing
not too far behind Uncle Rodney watching the conversation
intensely.
It's really difficult to put your finger on it exactly, but
something doesn't seem right here.
Uncle Rodney lets go of Judy and puts his arm around Jimmy.
With the noise of the drums and the fact that we're zoomed in
from a distance, we can't hear anything they're saying.
111.
Now Uncle Rodney and Jimmy are having a conversation as they
move towards the camera. Though Jimmy can't see it, we can
see that Rodney's Bigger Guys, the ones that were standing
behind Uncle Rodney are now pushing Judy along behind Jimmy
and Rodney. Though Uncle Rodney seems to be having a very
light and friendly conversation with Jimmy, we continue to
get the feeling that something ominous is afoot.
Finally, they approach camera and we can hear them.
UNCLE RODNEY
I'm so glad you guys came down
here. We never would have guessed
you'd come and see us.
JIMMY
You've been awesome. Judy loves it
here.
Uncle Rodney's got Jimmy in an incredibly friendly one armed
side hug.
UNCLE RODNEY
I knew she would. By the way.
Rodney's face drops.
UNCLE RODNEY
I know what you did to Dinko.
This hits Jimmy like a lead weight. Before he can react at
all, and before he realizes that anything is happening, Jimmy
is suddenly thrown into a headlock by Uncle Rodney.
Off camera, something similar is happening to Judy.
JUDY (O.C.)
(screaming)
What the fuck are you doing?!
Jimmy, Jimmy!
Judy screams his name over and over.
JUDY
Jimmy! Jimmy!
BUDDY (O.C.)
(laughing)
Shut it, bitch!
SMACK! Judy's been hit by Buddy off screen.
112.
Camera shuts down.
CAMERA ON:
EXT. RODNEY'S WUNDERLAND - DARK WOODS - NIGHT
We hear intense struggling and laughter. By the sounds we
hear, we gather that Jimmy and Judy are being dragged off
into the woods against their will by Buddy and Rodney's
Bigger Guys, but it's too dark to tell if that is what in
fact is happening.
Someone unidentified is running the show and operates the
camera. It's impossible to see, but it's definitely Buddy's
voice.
BUDDY (O.C.)
Here, here, here. Right here.
Judy is screaming and crying.
JUDY (O.C.)
Jimmy!
JIMMY (O.C.)
Judy?
Two or three guys, it's too dark to tell, start laughing.
JUDY (O.C.)
(screams)
Please somebody help us!
Jimmy grunts, trying to break free.
JIMMY
Judy!
RODNEY'S BIG GUY #1 (O.C.)
Shut up, asshole! You wanna
fucking talk!
MUNCH. Somewhere in the darkness Jimmy's been kicked in the
gut. The camera hits the ground. It lands right in front of
Jimmy. We can still barely see what's going on, but we're
close enough and there's enough flashes of light from
flashlights to see that Jimmy is face down and bloody.
JIMMY
(defiant)
Fuck you!
113.
Jimmy gets kicked again just once. Then suddenly, a barrage
of kicks come at Jimmy one after the other after the other.
Leaves and grass and dirt and flying feet shoot at Jimmy's
face as he is kicked and beaten repeatedly.
The process goes on for about thirty excruciating seconds.
We can't tell how much damage has been sustained, but Jimmy's
not moving. He's either unconscious or dead.
With one last kick, the camera is knocked aside and we don't
see Jimmy's face anymore.
RODNEY'S BIG GUY #1 (O.C.)
Is he fucking dead?
JUDY (O.C.)
Jimmy! Jimmy say something!
They mock her in a high pitched wining voice.
BUDDY (O.C.)
(mocking)
Jimmy. Jimmy say something.
RODNEY'S BIG GUY #2 (O.C.)
Get her clothes off.
JUDY (O.C.)
(screaming)
Noooooo! Noooooo!
Judy screams at the top of her lungs over and over again as
we hear them tearing at her clothes. Then they pick her up
and start pulling her away from camera.
Her screams get quieter and quieter... fainter and fainter.
JUDY (O.C.)
(extremely faint)
Jimmy!
Finally there's silence. The camera isn't moving. It's on
the ground and in the dark. Camera shuts down.
CAMERA ON:
EXT. RODNEY'S WUNDERLAND - PARKING AREA - DINKO'S CAR - NIGHT
It's completely pitch black dark. We can see nothing. We
can only hear the sound of Jimmy fumbling around and
breathing heavily and nervously.
114.
BEGIN NITE SHOT
Suddenly, we see everything, albeit in a weird black and
white grainy fashion. Jimmy's flipped the camera into Nite
Shot, using the fuzzy black and white mode as a tool to see
in the complete darkness. He's strapped the camera to his
wrist.
The image is Jimmy's POV as he searches through his trunk for
something. Pulling aside a duffle bag, we see the 9mm pistol
that Jimmy stole from the Cop. He grabs it as camera shuts
down.
CAMERA ON:
I/E. RODNEY'S WUNDERLAND - FIRE PIT/OUTSIDE RODNEY'S
TRAIER/INSIDE RODNEYS TRAILER/PARKING AREA/DINKO'S CAR -
NIGHT
By the fire pit, the site where the teenage drunken of orgy
took place, the bonfire has been put out and there are dozens
of drunken/passed out teenagers lying on the ground in
sleeping bags and in tents.
Jimmy begins looking for Judy with his night vision camera.
He sees a girl lying on the ground in a sleeping bag with her
back turned to the camera. Her hair is identical to Judy's,
but we can't see her face. Jimmy quietly steps over passed
out teenagers, being extremely careful not to awaken anyone.
Jimmy accidently kicks a forty ounce beer bottle that causes
a loud clanking sound of glass on glass.
Jimmy stops in his tracks in anticipation of someone waking
up. No one does.
Jimmy continues to walk towards the GIRL WHO LOOKS LIKE JUDY.
Kneeling directly in front of her, Jimmy puts his hands on
her shoulder and pulls the girl's front region towards the
camera. The girl flips over.
It's not Judy. And luckily, the girl is so severely
intoxicated that she doesn't wake up.
Jimmy now makes his way over to a tent. He quietly unzips
the mesh entrance and extends his arm out to video tape the
inside. Turns out, the person in the tent is just another
passed out flunky loser. Jimmy quickly takes his arm out of
the tent.
115.
Jimmy gives it one last go and continues to look for Judy
among the sea of passed out bodies lying on the ground.
No luck.
Jimmy's not too far from Uncle Rodney's trailer. He decides
to make his way up.
He walks, using his Nite Shot to see, through the sea of
bodies until he gets up to the entrance...
OUTSIDE RODNEY'S TRAILER
There's a cracked glass door leaning up against the woodpile
by the entrance. Jimmy steps around it, turning the lens at
the glass. He briefly catches his reflection. He looks like
hell warmed over, freshly bruised and cut from the recent
beating.
Moving forward, Jimmy makes it to the front door of Uncle
Rodney's trailer. We hear music coming from inside. Very
slowly and very carefully, Jimmy cracks the front door.
INSIDE RODNEY'S TRAILER
It's even darker inside of the trailer, but Jimmy presses
forward in spite of that fact, still using his Nite Shot to
see. A boom box sits by the bed, still on, playing music.
Jimmy is scared shitless.
In the corner of the room, in a make shift bunk, is Uncle
Rodney sleeping with his arms wrapped around a girl in a
spooning position. There's no doubt this time.
It's definitely JUDY!
They are both sound asleep and actually look very cozy lying
together. Jimmy slowly walks over towards them. Each step
is slower and slower, being extra careful not to wake them.
Once Jimmy is within arm's length of the two of them he
stops. He hesitates for a moment. He hasn't prepared
himself for this particular situation and doesn't know
exactly what to do.
He continues filming them until he finally musters the
courage to extend his non-filming arm out to tap Judy on the
face. Judy remains unconscious/sleeping as Jimmy gently taps
the side of her cheek. Jimmy slowly begins tapping harder
and harder until the tap evolves into a poke. Still nothing.
116.
THWACK! An arm comes out of nowhere and grabs Jimmy's poking
hand. Jimmy has woken up Uncle Rodney!
The camera shakes out of control. Uncle Rodney screams at
the top of his lungs:
UNCLE RODNEY
Who the fuck...!
Intense and furious wrestling ensues as Uncle Rodney flies
out of frame then, in a split second:
BAM!
A gunshot goes off. We hear a Uncle Rodney collapse,
followed by more gun shots. The camera has fallen from
Jimmy's hand and dangles by the wrist strap. Camera comes to
rest on...
UNCLE RODNEY'S BLOODY FACE
Jimmy's shot and killed him.
Outside, footsteps hit the deck. Buddy opens the door of the
trailer.
BUDDY
Hey!
BAM, BAM, BAM!
Three more rounds are fired, hitting Buddy square in the
chest, knocking him down. Jimmy points the camera at a dead
Buddy on his back then whip pans it back to Judy in the bed.
Finally we hear Jimmy speak.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Judy, Judy, wake up. Fucking wake
up!
Outside we hear voices of some of Rodney's Other Teens.
Jimmy acts fast. Judy has been drugged and is mostly
unconscious and groggy, but Jimmy picks her up and gets her
on her feet, shouldering her out the door. Shot continues
to...
OUTSIDE RODNEY'S TRAILER
We hear faint voices...
117.
RODNEY'S BIG GUY #3
(faint)
Hey! Hey!
A DISTANT GUNSHOT FIRES, but we can't see what is going on.
It's too dark and the camera is too shaky as they go to...
PARKING AREA
Another DISTANT SHOT, then Jimmy gasps in pain. He's been
shot, but decides to run, trying to carry a groggy Judy
anyway. Their car is in sight as we hear guns going off and
bullets whizzing by them. One hits Dinko's car.
Jimmy opens the door, then places the passed out Judy and the
camera in the passenger seat, climbs over her, throwing the
camera into Judy's lap.
We see him scramble to get the key in the ignition as we hear
a BULLET HIT the driver's door. The car starts, and Jimmy
throws it into gear, flooring the gas as he speeds away.
JIMMY
Judy? Judy?
Nothing.
JIMMY
Judy wake up.
Jimmy's voice begins to crack as he talks to/tries to wake up
Judy.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Are you all right baby? Please
wake up Judy. Judy?
We don't know if Judy is dead or alive.
Jimmy swerves to avoid something in the road sending the
camera to the floor as camera shuts down.
CAMERA ON:
INT. ROAD TO BORDER MOTEL - CHEAP MOTEL ROOM - DAY
Close on Judy. The afternoon light strikes a shadow across
her face. Her hair's a mess. No makeup.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Judy, sweetie. Come on honey. I
saw you waking up.
118.
Judy's eyes flutter.
JIMMY (O.C.)
There ya go.
Judy opens her eyes. She smiles when she sees Jimmy behind
the lens.
JUDY
Hi, baby.
JIMMY (O.C.)
You okay?
JUDY
Am I with you?
JIMMY (O.C.)
You're with me.
She smiles wider.
JUDY
Then I'm okay.
Camera shuts down.
CAMERA ON:
I/E. HIGHWAY TO BORDER/DINKO'S CAR - NIGHT
Judy's got the camera trained on herself. She talks like a
child.
JUDY
Mexicooooooh....
Judy points the camera up at Jimmy. This is the first time
we've seen him at all since he was beaten up by Uncle
Rodney's group. He's a wreck. His face is puffy. His lip
is cut up. His eye is swollen. He looks like a flyweight
boxer who just went fifteen rounds with a heavyweight.
He drives with one arm because the other one is in a bandage.
JUDY (O.C.)
Hey baby.
Jimmy looks like a beaten man, both physically and
emotionally. His bad ass attitude and rebellious charisma
are seemingly non-existent.
119.
For the first time, we are seeing Jimmy without his armor.
He looks like any other 21 year old kid who is down,
vulnerable, and confused. Not to mention the fact that he
has a fucking bullet lodged in his shoulder.
JUDY (O.C.)
Baby?
JIMMY
Come on. Not the camera.
JUDY (O.C.)
Nooooo. It reminds me of when we
first met. Just you, me, and the
camera. God, do you remember how
you used to freak me out?
JIMMY
Yeah, those were the good old days.
How much money do we have?
JUDY (O.C.)
I don't know, why?
JIMMY
How do you feel about Canada? It's
closer.
JUDY (O.C.)
Are we going together?
Jimmy looks over at her.
JIMMY
I think I should take you home.
Judy doesn't answer.
JIMMY
I could write you a letter. Or I
could make a video saying I made
you do everything. They'd believe
you. You could tell them it was
all my fault. You could tell them
I was going to Mexico and I'd
really go to Canada.
Jimmy swallows.
JIMMY
We swore on the bond we'd never be
apart... but...
(MORE)
120.
JIMMY (cont'd)
I'll let you out of it... If you
want to be out of it, I'll let you
out.
JUDY (O.C.)
You're never leaving me, and I'm
never leaving you. That's all
there is to it.
JIMMY
Okay.
Judy leans in and kisses him.
JIMMY
Owww.
Judy comes back into the passenger seat and just films him.
She likes looking at him through the lens.
JUDY (O.C.)
You're so handsome, you know that?
Jimmy smiles as best he can with his face all messed up.
Then his eyes get droopy and close.
He's not responding. He's as punch drunk as you can get.
JUDY (O.C.)
Jimmy?
Jimmy's obviously in a concussion induced daze. The car
starts to drift. Judy drops the camera on the seat as we
hear her leap forward to take control of the car.
JUDY (O.C.)
Jimmy!
JIMMY (O.C.)
(snaps to)
What?
JUDY (O.C.)
Jimmy, stop the car. You're too
fucked up to drive.
JIMMY (O.C.)
(groggy)
Huh? Oh... okay.
Camera shuts down.
CAMERA ON:
121.
I/E. HIGHWAY FINAL-SCENE/DINKO'S CAR - DAY
Judy drives. There isn't much talking going on.
JUDY
You wanted to ask me something?
JIMMY (O.C.)
Do you love me?
JUDY
You know I do.
JIMMY (O.C.)
I do.
The car drives. Judy just cruises along, music playing on
the radio. Jimmy (O.C.) looks in the mirror but keeps the
camera trained on her.
JIMMY (O.C.)
You know I love you, right?
JUDY
Yup.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Judy?
JUDY
Yes?
JIMMY (O.C.)
We're fucked.
JUDY
What do you mean?
JIMMY (O.C.)
Look in the rearview mirror.
Judy looks up immediately. Her face drops.
Jimmy flips the camera around out the back window. There's a
Ohio State Trooper with its lights flashing tailing them. A
lone trooper is on his radio.
JIMMY (O.C.)
That's it baby. We're done.
Judy doesn't answer. She's short circuited.
122.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Just pull over. It's not worth it.
Judy holds still for a second, not saying a word.
The cop car CHIRPS its siren.
Judy looks up.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Judy, what are you doing? You know
this is...
JUDY
Don't do this.
Judy looks up into the rearview mirror. Her eyes are welling
up. She looks out the front windshield.
Jimmy senses that she sees something. He flips the camera
around through the front only to see a row of cop cars
blocking the highway up ahead.
He flips the camera back at her.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Judy?
JUDY
(freaks)
Shut up!
Judy looks straight ahead, determination on her face.
She won't answer. Then...
She turns the wheel hard to the right, almost carrying Jimmy
into her, and takes the car onto a side road.
JIMMY (O.C.)
I love you.
JUDY
I love you too.
Judy is on her own mission.
JIMMY (O.C.)
It's over.
JUDY
(soft)
No.
123.
JIMMY (O.C.)
It is.
JUDY
No.
The car stops short. Jimmy turns the camera to point out the
windshield. They're stuck. The road has come to a dead end.
JIMMY (O.C.)
It's a dead end.
Judy ignores Jimmy. She throws the car into reverse and
tries to turn it around and head back the way she came.
A faint sound of a helicopter fades up slowly from the
background.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Do you hear that?
Judy doesn't respond. She's determined.
JUDY
(lying)
No.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Come on, it's over. I'll do what I
said before. I'll tell them I made
you do it. It'll be okay.
JUDY
No. I want us to be together.
JIMMY (O.C.)
(screams)
Well we fucking can't, so pull the
fuck over!
JUDY
Yes we can. I won't give you up.
I won't let you go. No way.
Jimmy pans the camera out the front windshield. In the
distance, we catch sight of a road block that's been set up
at the end of the dirt trail. They're screwed. There's
nowhere to go.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Come on.
Judy doesn't answer.
124.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Judy?
She still doesn't answer.
Then the car thrusts itself forward.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Judy! Stop it.
Judy's got a look of determination in her eye.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Judy, what are you doing?
Judy doesn't respond. O.C., she's murmuring something to
herself that Jimmy can't hear or understand while she has the
throttle to the floor as they barrel toward the roadblock.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Judy!
Judy keeps going. Jimmy flips the back camera towards her.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Judy! Stop!
Judy's murmurs grow louder.
JIMMY (O.C.)
Judy!
Jimmy braces himself as the car continues toward the
roadblock.
Suddenly, Judy's murmurs get loud enough or us to hear.
JUDY
(murmurs)
We'll be together. We'll be
together. We'll be together.
We'll be together...
They head straight in between two cars that form the
roadblock. Cops jump out of the way as the car hits head on
into...
THE ROADBLOCK
Impact sends the camera flying against the windshield,
CRACKING IT.
125.
Sounds of metal twisting and glass shattering is all
encompassing as the camera shakes in a violent frenzy!
Camera settles on Judy's face, bloody, unconscious against
the steering wheel, her neck snapped, eyes open in a death
stare.
Camera stays focussed on Judy for the longest time as she
leans against the steering wheel. Music plays on the radio.
It's JOHNNY CASH's cover of Tom Petty's "I won't Back Down".
OVERHEAD SHOT of a news helicopter flying above the final
scene.
Looking down from above, we see what the helicopter sees:
A scene of about twelve State Trooper cars, lights flashing,
with Jimmy and Judy's car wrecked. Ambulances are there.
Jimmy and Judy's lifeless bodies are pulled from their car as
Johnny Cash's song shifts from background to score.
The helicopter continues its circular pattern as the song
continues and we...
FADE TO BLACK.
