LAWSON GOES OVER TO THE JUKEBOX FEEDING IT MONEY AND PUNCHING IN NUMBERS. Hey, you gonna’ dance later tonight ?... I’m short two bodies... Tony Tee’s out for the count and that Kid Rusty broke his leg skateboarding over by the park. Skateboarding or getting his Dick sucked one. I can’t remember which one he said. LAWSON RETURNS TO THE BAR NOW HE SITS TO DRINK HIS COCKTAIL AGAIN BUT WITHOUT WARNING HIS NOSE BEGINS TO BLEED. INT: BAR NO.3 RESTROOM STALL. LAWSON SITS ON THE TOILET LID DOWN HEAD BACK HOLDING TOILET PAPER ON HIS NOSE. MIKE OUTSIDE THE STALL CHECKS ON HIM AFTER A BEAT. MIKE You sure you all right Kid ?...

MIKE All right, I gotta’ get back to the bar. Call out if you need anything. LAWSON Thanks. MIKE EXIT’S THE RESTROOM. SOON LAWSON EXIT’S THE STALL. HE GOES TO THE SINK TO WASH HIS FACE.

OPEN DRUG USE, PEOPLE SNORTING POPPERS, DRAG QUEENS BEING DRAG QUEENS, KISSING, GAMES OF POOL, ORAL SEX IN DARK CORNERS, LOTS OF CONVERSATIONS. EXT: / INT. LATER SAME NIGHT. ON THE ROAD. LAWSON AND A TRICK FROM THE BAR DRIVING DOWN A LONG LONELY WINDING ROAD. IT’S A LONG DESOLATE STRIP OF ROAD AND EVERYTHING IS QUIET WHICH MAY REFLECT THE TIME OF NIGHT/MORNING IT ACTUALLY IS. INT: NIGHT/MORNING. FARM HOUSE BED ROOM LAWSON AND THE TRICK. THE MOON NOW FILTERS THROUGH THE CURTAINS LIGHTING THE ROOM IN STRANGE SHADOWS AND SHAPES AS LAWSON AND HIS COMPANION LAY IN BED HAVING SEX. INT: DAWN. LAWSON, SITTING ON THE SIDE OF THE BED. POST SEX AFTER GLOW. MAN (Laying In bed) That was fucking fantastic. I needed that all week. You were the cutest dancer tonight. Thanks for coming back here with me. HE JUMPS UP AND GOES TO THE SHOWER. CALLING OUT TO LAWSON Do you think you could take a taxi back, I have a really early day. Just add it to what I owe you. I hope I can see you again next weekend. Oh, it’s on the dresser sweet heart in that envelope. LAWSON No Problem. (A Pause and then) LAWSON PICKS UP THE ENVELOPE. INT: / EXT: DAYBREAK. LAWSON. THE LONG RIDE HOME IN THE BACK OF A TAXI. THE METER READS 38.60 AND COUNTING. THE SUN LIGHT BEGINS TO RISE BEHIND THEM AND SUDDENLY LAWSON’S NOSE BEGINS TO BLEED A SLOW TRICKLE OF BLOOD AGAIN. INT: MORNING. DARK HALLWAY. LAWSON’S APARTMENT BUILDING. LAWSON FUMBLES WITH A GROCERY BAG AND HIS KEYS. FINDS HIS WAY INSIDE TURNING ON A LIGHT AND LOCKING THE DOOR SHUT BEHIND HIMSELF. ASLEEP ON THE LIVING ROOM FLOOR IS ELIJAH. HE WAKES WITH THE LIGHT TURNING ON. LAWSON MAKES HIS WAY INSIDE TO THE KITCHEN. SOON ELIJAH ENTERS THE KITCHEN . HE WEARS UNDERWEAR ONLY. HE IS AN ATTRACTIVE YOUNGMAN OF ABOUT SEVENTEEN. HE TAKES A SEAT AT THE TABLE SLEEPY EYED. THERE IS A STRANGE PAUSE AND THEN: LAWSON Did you eat ? ELIJAH No. Fucked up night. I got ripped off. Got a hold of some bad X. Lost my phone book with every important phone number I had in it. Almost got hit by a car. Just a Fucked up nite. Almost got shot by a cop. LAWSON Happens like that sometimes. LAWSON STARTS MAKING THEM BREAKFAST LAWSON V.O. In order to understand a guy like ELIJAH, and I guess why I like him so much I need only look at myself, or my kid brother before the suicide. But really the truth is, Eli’s not like me at all... or Randy. I admire him for who he is. Truth is he’s not some stuck in the mud little runaway from the Midwest at all. Nor is he some frail assed little white boy running away from one kind of fucked up evil abuse after another. No, Eli’s not running away from anything or anyone. Eli’s a rich kid from the city with great folks and nannies and tutors and people who love him and horse’s and shit. FLASH BACK--- EXT. DAY ELIJAH FIGHTING WITH HIS PARENTS ON THE GREAT LAWN OF A MANSION. BACK TO PRESENT--- V.O. cont. Eli’s just a Gay kid with no shame to his game. And he’s out here slumming it with us trying to swallow it all down. All in one big gulp. He also likes to stick it to his folks as often as humanly possible. Maybe that’s why I like him so much. INT: MORNING. LAWSON AND ELIJAH AT THE TABLE EATING BREAKFAST. IN SILENCE. SOUND NOW: ELIJAH /SFX. So anyway, I got him all tied up now and he’s in the great Dane position. And I’m Fucking the shit out of him, I mean a good deep dickin’ is taking place here... and I’m on coke too, I mean we both are. So I’m thinking this is gonna’ be an all night Fuck right... INT: MORNING. LAWSON AND ELIJAH LAUNDRY MAT. LAWSON AND ELIJAH DOING LAUNDRY SPIN CYCLE. ABOUT TEN OTHER CUSTOMERS AROUND. ELIJAH cont. Ya’ know what I’m saying... So anyway, he’s screaming like a Goddamn monkey crack whore and all of a sudden, in walks his Fuckin’ wife. Only the bitch’s in this Cop’s uniform. So naturally I’m thinking the hell you say, this shit’s gonna’ cost you extra. Only she starts freaking the fuck out on us. So now he’s freaking out, she’s freaking out and I just wanna’ get paid by this time... Now remember I got him tied up now and all of a sudden he starts acting like a Goddamned trapped Gibbon, trying to get free ! And then it hits me ! She’s a real fucking cop, and she ain’t planing to join in, in fact she wasn’t expecting to come home and find her old man doggy style taking one for the home team ya’ know what I mean ? And then it really hits me, This bitch is still behind me ! And I know this can’t be good... especially with my record for breaking up happy homes and with the cops in general. And right at about that moment, he’s broken loose and I just jumped the fuck up and I’m searching for my jeans now and I remember, we got a trail of clothes an’ shit... all over the Fucking house. I mean from the front door to the bed room we got clothes everywhere ! The next thing you know, they’re fighting. I mean they’re fighting like two men would fight. It was fucking surreal. I mean they’re beating the shit out of each other, but I got my jeans now in one hand, underwear and boots in the other and I’m gonna’ be okay. I mean, I’m not sticking around. Fuck the money, fuck the drugs on the coffee table, fuck this whole scene is what I’m thinking... sometimes it’s just time to clear out, you know... let a couple have a moment. I climbed out through the doggie door because they got those double lock things on the door. Goddamn snoopy dog followed me half the way to the bus stop, he didn’t even want to stick around for that scene. And he lived there. I’m telling you LAWSON, I’m never going back to that bar again. And Six bucks now for a cocktail... The place is just bad vibes these days, bad vibes. Snobs, Rich married men, over priced drinks and bad vibes. That’s just the kind of place that can get my fake I.D. snatched ya’ know. And for what ? Bad Vibes. LAWSON Yeah, I was there for a minute myself last night. It’s definitely bad vibes. Not healthy. LAWSON SURVEYS THE LAUNDROMAT CUSTOMERS NOW THEY’VE CLEARED HALF OF THEM OUT WITH THIS FRANK CONVERSATION. AN OLD WOMAN COLLECTS THE LAST OF HER CLOTHES LEAVING SHE MUMBLES OLD WOMAN If I wasn’t a Christian woman.... ON HER WAY-OUT THE DOOR. AND SHE EXITS DISGUSTED. ELIJAH CONTINUES WITHOUT REGARD. ELIJAH So, do you think you could get me some of that Vodka this morning?.. LAWSON JUST SHOOTS HIM A LOOK. EXT.: BALTIMORE CITY STREETS. MORNING. LAWSON AND ELIJAH WALKING DOWN THE STREETS THEY WALK WITH LAUNDRY, GROCERY BAGS AND SMOKES DANGLING FROM THEIR LIPS. B.G. PEOPLE OUT AND ABOUT. STORES OPENING UP. ETC. ELIJAH cont. So this crazy fucking guy is so waked out of his mind he starts going off on this guy he said he knew back in Atlanta. The one who’s dying. So, this guy’s dying right, only he doesn’t want it to be of the big A. Ya’ know what I mean?... It’s like, anything but AIDS. So he tells me, the guy goes out and hires this Hustler. Now this guy’s supposedly some kind of Doctor only now he doesn’t practice anymore. Anyway, so he can still get all of this shit. You know, drugs for pain, a scalpel and a rib spreader. Shit like that. All the stuff they would need to do this thing with. LAWSON The Hustlers a doctor ? ELIJAH No, no, no... The guy who’s dying of the big A, is the doctor. Keep up LAWSON. Anyway, all of his life he was some kind of weird neurotic nymphomaniac. Some weird shit. I don’t know what you call it, couldn’t control himself. The guy was like always fucking. Like a rabbit or something. He couldn’t help it though. But anyway, you see what that got him... Now he’s dying of the big A. So, he decides that he’s not going out like that. He goes out and hires this Hustler. The plan is, he’ll pay the guy Five thousand large to drug him up, cut open his chest, take the rib spreader and open him up and Fuck him in his heart until he’s completely Fuckin’ dead. Now I ask you, is that not the sickest shit you’ve heard all day or what ?! But, think about it... for five grand... I don’t know. It’s not my heart that’s heavy with cream of some young guy.... Plus, ya’ know... it’s a memory that’ll last a life time. That’s a story you could tell for a life time. LAWSON Okay, now tell me again how you meet these insane fucking people again ? To even sit around a bar and tell that story one has to be lacking some sort of brain chemical. Jesus, I feel dirty just talking to you Eli. I feel like I need another shower just walking on the same side of this side walk with you! ELIJAH Five Grand... like you wouldn’t at least think about it if it were offered to you. I know I would. Hey, let’s get some of those cigars too. The fat ones. (Lawson Shoots him a look) EXT: BALTIMORE. MORNING. OUTSIDE A LIQUOR STORE. LAWSON INSIDE, ELIJAH WAITING OUTSIDE. EVEN THOUGH EARLY IN THE MORNING IT MAYBE MEN STILL CRUISE ELIJAH AND HE LOVES IT. INT: LIQUOR STORE. AT THE COUNTER. LAWSON PEERS OUT THROUGH THE GLASS AT ELIJAH. ELIJAH CHATS WITH A COUPLE OF JOHNS. NOTHING AUDIBLE NEEDED. ELIJAH SIMPLY HAS THAT CHARM AND THOSE LOOKS. CUT TO: EXT: LATER. BALTIMORE SIDEWALKS. LAWSON AND ELIJAH CONTINUING DOWN THE STREETS. MORNING. LAWSON I just don’t know Eli. I mean, I really need to get some sleep before tonight. It’s Friday night ya’ know. Busy, busy, busy. Lot of money tonight. I thought I’d go down by the pier tonight. Change of scene. I think maybe you should go down there with me. ELIJAH Just let me do this thing first... You’ll hardly even know were there. Trust me. LAWSON Bullshit. Look, you wanted my opinion so here it is. I just think it’s a stupid idea. It’s the same as having a fucking pimp. What do I look like, some crack whore who needs some guy to protect me by taking all of my money. Save me from myself and my cash. That’s for bitches Eli. Come on, were better than that. ELIJAH But that’s not what it’s about at all... listen again, only this time hear me. On call, exclusive parties, out calls only. It’s a totally better class of people. Rich guy’s! LAWSON Just tell me again why you need my apartment ? LAWSON You know, for a YOUNGMAN you don’t listen too good. Because, you have to have an address to get on with these guys. I told you that three times already. Otherwise, they may as well just go right out on the streets and get any skank assed punk. That’s not what their about. Look, they come over... they meet us, sort of check us out. And then, if they like what they see and why not we’re a class act. And then we’re in. FLASHBACK--- INT. ELIJAH IN A CLUB. NOTHING AUDIBLE OVER THE CLUB MUSIC. TALKING TO: RICHIE, ANTONIO, AND CAROLS. BACK TO PRESENT--- ELIJAH cont. You get a pager and everything. And when it goes off, you just call in, get the instructions and a driver comes and picks you up. It’s better than an escort agency too. The best part is they send a car for you. Can you believe that shit ?! You get a fucking driver ! No more working the streets or those skank assed clubs like the 101 room. I mean, that place is really bad vibes. LAWSON I just think it all sounds too good to be true. Like there’s a catch. And that mean’s there usually is. Unlike you my young friend, I may have been born last night, but I’ve been up all day. ELIJAH Goddamn your cynical... do you have any idea how cynical you sound right now. Who the hell pissed in your corn flakes because it wasn’t me okay. What’s the catch you say?... Okay, as I understand it what ever the guy gives you for payment. You can only keep like twenty-five percent. I think that’s what he said. The guy at the club... RICHIE, I think is his name. I got the number right here. The rest you give to the driver. But still it’s like a guaranteed two or three hundred bucks for you in your pocket. And the room, everything else is paid for. It’s all paid for. LAWSON And you don’t think there’s something just a little bit wrong with all of that do you ? You don’t think that like, maybe that sounds just a little too easy for all of that cash ? These guy’s sound like the Mob, Eli. Regular Gangsters. ELIJAH They are gangsters LAWSON, I never said they weren’t. They’re the new Gangster’s. Come on just meet ‘em. Come on.... please... I promise, if you don’t like ‘em... then I won’t do it either. I’m telling you, these guys are the real deal. I should have called them last weekend when I first met them at the club. After last night, man I need a change. And so do you. We’re going to make a lot of money LAWSON, a lot of money ! Trust somebody for once. INT: AFTERNOON. LAWSON’S APARTMENT. @ THE FRONT DOOR. AS ELIJAH ANSWERS IT. ELIJAH’S POV ENTER: RICHIE, ANTONIO, AND CARLOS. THEY ARE MID TWENTIES EARLY THIRTIES. WELL DRESSED AND SHOW JUST A HINT OF DANGER AND INTRIGUE BUT OVER ALL VERY PLEASANT TO THE EYES. ELIJAH RICHIE, so good to see you again. Hey, sorry I waited so long but I told you I’d call right ? LAWSON NODS HELLO Oh yeah, this is my friend that I was telling you about. LAWSON. He want’s to hear all about what you guy’s got goin’ too. We think it sounds like a good idea. LAWSON Well, Eli was telling me a little. ELIJAH Can I get you guy’s something to drink? I got some of that Vodka that you guy’s were drinking at the club. That Russian stuff. Stoli. Cause I remembered that’s what you were drinking. And it was good. Come on in, make your selves comfortable. Have a seat. THEY MAKE THERE WAY INSIDE SITTING DOWN NOW. RICHIE I’ll have a shot of that. It’s good shit right ? ELIJAH Oh yea, the best... RICHIE Oh, let me introduce everybody here... This is ANTONIO, and that’s CARLOS. ELIJAH Shot’s for everybody then ? INT: LATER SAME AFTERNOON. LAWSON’S APARTMENT. LAWSON, ELIJAH, RICHIE, ANTONIO AND CARLOS AT THE KITCHEN TABLE. BOTTLE OF VODKA ALMOST EMPTY. ANTONIO The Problem with most of that shit was, there was no real money in it. But this is a sure Fuckin’ thing. With RICHIES contacts, shit. And we’ve worked all of the kink’s out. Hell, we even got some of the straight guy’s on the corner just looking to get high interested for that kind of’ money. RICHIE But that shit won’t fly. The key here, is professionalism. I mean, I don’t give a bugs Dick, who people kiss. But if I’m on this thing, I need pro’s because that’s what my clientele demand. And no straight guy, just looking to get paid is gonna’ be able to do this the right way. I need pro’s, and that means Fag’s. No offense. I mean, I got clients lined up out the ass, and let’s face it I’m certainly not going to sleep with them. But, that’s where you two come in. I mean, you’re already doing it anyway... so why not get paid what your worth for it. Why not we all get paid for it? CARLOS We set everything up. Everything’s safe. Nobody Fuck’s with you, trust me on that. Or they end up seriously missing. And all the Hotel’s you’ll frequent we already own the security guard. In fact, most of the time they will be your eye’s and ears for real trouble. They’ll be looking out for you, Richie’s got ‘em in pocket. We’ve been doing this with the ladies for sometime. LAWSON But what’s our take... what’s this twenty five percent ? CARLOS Twenty-five percent?... who told you that ? dream on Nancy boy. Thirteen percent is what you get. Which on average is about Three hundred and fifty dollars. Plus, all clients are instructed to tip well. That’s going to average about five to seven bills a date. Time’s that by about two to three dates a night each. You do the math. LAWSON I don’t get it. Then How much are you making if we’re just getting thirteen percent. It seems to me we’re doing all of the work. I’m not trying to be rude... and how many more of us are there ?... besides just me and Eli ? RICHIE I like this guy. First of all, I don’t think that was rude at all. I think It was a very good question and it shows you pay attention. I hate stupid people. Your very smart. Okay, you’re really not doing all of the work. You see, my clients like a little recreation with their Ideal sex. I try to deliver both. get it, the Boy, the Girl and the blow. Or what ever it is that floats their boat. Ludes, smack, crack, pot LSD... Acid.... Coke... speed. And I’ve been doing this very successfully with the ladies for over a year and a half now. Not one arrest, and then it hit me. Half of my clients are well to do Gay men. Lot’s of disposable income. Like to party. Maybe, they don’t want to party alone no more. Now I’ll admit, this part is a little new to me... and you’ll be the first. But I’ve been talking to some of my best customers and they seem all up for the idea. No pun intended. Were like your agents. CARLOS And we are not pimps... that just sounds bad. We’re Drug dealers with shit on the side. That sounds much better to me. I mean, pimps beat on people. We don’t beat on ladies or Fags. If thats what you were worried about. ANTONIO Just don’t Fuck with the product. Once you deliver it into his hands and he gives you the money. Then you can get as freaky with him as you want to, you can even do as much of it as you and him want to. It’s paid for then. Minus the tip, turn everything over to the the driver. Richie finds, and unless you don’t want it like this... that a Giant check every three days seems to help you guys out more than just daily money. That’s the way most of the Girls do it. They get like three or four grand every three days. And just live on the tips... which ain’t bad alone. And Richie won’t Fuck you on money. He won’t Fuck you. Even when one Of the girls had a problem once... she thought she was due more... I personally seen Richie come out of his own pocket and give that to her. And then later, she figured it out. And did he ask for that nine hundred dollars back. No! Because that’s the kind of guy he is. RICHIE These guy’s range from some my hornier Bankers, to Doctors and Lawyers. I even have an Ambassador. LAWSON And just what is it that we do ? RICHIE Do what you do best. And count your money. These are not your Blue velvet run of the mill freaks. And your not hour boy’s. Nor are you Choir boy’s. Sometimes you will be paid for whole nights with one person... even whole weekends sometimes. But the tip alone will make it all worth while. His and mine. ELIJAH Did I not tell you, Lawson ?... This is a Fuckin’ sweet deal man ! LAWSON And when would all of this come together ? RICHIE My shit’s in place for the most part. A Couple of phone calls to my big spenders, let them know I got a couple of Boy toy’s now too. Maybe as early as Midnight. But, remember you’re it. I only have you two. So, you might be a little busy for a while. That is, if you’re in. LAWSON Why so few, I mean... there’s tons of other Boy’s out there. RICHIE I’m really not in the habit to advertise such services and job openings. I just saw your man Eli dancing at the club the other night and I thought he’d be perfect. Something about his attitude. The way he had all of these guy’s and girls just eating out of his hands. Kid must have turned five tricks in two hours at that club the other night. I was impressed. Never broke a sweat or even had a hair out of place. I just kept watching him... and then I gave him my number and told him to give me a call. You know, most of these Fag’s out there that I’ve seen so far are homeless skanks. But now, you and your boy Eli here. Now that, I think I can work with. Youth, there’s something about youth and older men. They love it. Eat the shit up. But now that maybe you’re interested, you two can be my eye’s and ears for some more fresh blood. New Talent. No Fucking Speed freaks, nothing worst than a Gay speed freak. We need about five or six more to really make some money. Too many, and that’s no good. Too few, and you guys never get a break. I want you guy’s to be happy too. That’s why we just need about four to six, clean cut good-looking tall slim boy’s who suck Dick. And what ever else it is that you do... I don’t wanna’ know. And the younger the better... for some reason everybody’s into chicken. Or is it called Twink? I want a black one, a Hispanic one and an Asian one too. And a couple more white ones just like yourselves. People love that vanilla shit. I personally need a little color in my world but... We’ll make some serious money if we give the people what they want. ELIJAH I want in... RICHIE Good... let’s make this happen. But the one who Impresses me most still needs to think about it huh...? Antonio, give me your Pager. ANTONIO HANDS RICHIE HIS PAGER. RICHIE GIVES IT TO ELIJAH. LAWSON And what if things just don’t work out? RICHIE Than find me a replacement as good or better than you. That’s all... and walk away. (Pause) A PAUSE AND THEN: LAWSON Okay. I’m in. I’ll try it. THE SOUND NOW: MUSIC: ORIGINAL SCORE. RICHIE All right... You had me worried for a second there. After meeting you, I really don’t think I could launch this now without you. You’re smart. I want you to take charge... Of the guy’s. As they come in. Carlos, Pager ! CARLOS HANDS RICHIE HIS PAGER. RICHIE GIVES IT TO LAWSON. Gentleman... welcome to the wonderful world of better living through sex and drugs. RICHIE COUNTS OUT A WAD OF BILLS. HE PUTS THEM ON THE TABLE. SWIGS FROM THE VODKA BOTTLE AND STANDS TO EXIT RICHIE cont. A little sign on, to seal the deal. Buy yourselves something pretty. Remember, there are no poor people in this organization. Dress the part. We gotta’ be going. Lot of phone calls need to take place. Carlos, you got that... And call Stavro’s too. I’ll page you guy’s with more info. There is a lot of money to be made and we are going to make all of it. So, make me Rich ! AND WITH THAT, RICHIE, ANTONIO AND CARLOS SAY THEIR GOOD-BYES AND EXIT. EXT :/ INT: NIGHT AND RAIN.
