Day One
Have you ever wondered about death? What comes after life? I often wondered that the first 27 years of my life… That all changed on August 5th 2009…
(((Alarm clock on cell phone sounds)))
Phone reads 5:35 AM
Will: Fuck…
Presses snooze
(((Alarm clock on cell phone sounds)))
Phone reads 5:45 AM
Will: Cock…
Presses snooze
(((Alarm clock on cell phone sounds)))
Phone reads 5:55
Will: Balls!
Presses snooze
(((Alarm clock on cell phone sounds)))
Will thinking: This fucking blows as her sits up in from futon
Staring at his phone wondering if one more snooze will do the trick
Will: Fuck it…
Will gets in the shower
Will: Ooh ah, ooh ah, why do fools falls in love? Why do birds sing so gay?
Will: (muttering to self) Faggot
Shower continues than ends as Will gets out of the show and dries off
Skip to driving in car
Arrives at building, pressing digits on a time clock and pressing finger to scanner
Sitting at a desk typing and listening to talk radio looking miserable
In walks Joe D
Joe D: Good morning, Will
Will: (Low tone) Morning
Miscellaneous characters with good morning greetings followed by a silent nod from Will moving at a rapid pace
Clock shows 1:00 PM
Will shuts off his monitor, logs off his phone and leaves the office quietly, heads toward the lunch room where he grabs a tupperware from the fridge and puts in the microwave. He eats his food silently away from the rest of his co-workers
In walks Brenda with her magnificent body and stunning natural beauty
Brenda: Will, why are you always sitting alone?
Will: I am self-conscious about the way I eat
No reply from Brenda
Will thinking to himself “she thinks I’m a freak” but I don’t give a fuck
In walks Harry and sits at the same table as Will
Harry: Yo, what up, bitch?
Will: (faint giggle) What up…
Harry: (Speaking lowly almost whispering) Dude, I am glad you were in here, because I didn’t want to be rude and not sit by myself
Will thinking: I know this dude is as fucked up as me, but his problem is he care about what these people think…
Will: I hear ya
Will and Harry go out for a cigarette
Harry: Yo, who is the first person you would fuck in this place?
Will: Brenda
Harry: Damn bitch, you stole my pick! Who after Brenda? Actually my turn. I’d fuck Julie.
Will: Nice.
Intro James from the buildings side exit
James: Yo, B!
Will: Sup, James
James: Yo, where headed B-Thizzies for Eddie’s Birthday, you down?
Will thinking: NO, NO, NO I HAVE NO MONEY
Will: No doubt
Harry: What, no invite?
James: Nah man, you’re more than welcome
Harry: No, I’m just playing I’ve have things to do
Will: (half-laughing) Yeah right…
Work hours pass by rapidly as Will constantly types away at his desk, rubbing his eyes, temples, and head continuously…
Cut to the time clock where Will types his code and scans his finger print
Will enters his car and drives away
Cut to bar
Eddie: Oh B3, what you got on my drink?
Eddie standing with a bunch of people from the workplace
Will: I ain’t got shit on your drink… Nah, it’s you birthday I got this one. What you drinking?
Eddie: Jack & Coke
Will: Rachel, let me get a Jack & Coke and a Coors light
Bartender making drink and grabbing beer
Will not making small talk fumbling about in his wallet looking a bit frantic, but trying not to show it
Bartender: (Female Irish accent) That’ll be nine dollars
Will hands money to bartender and tips her two dollars
Will: Thank you, Rach
Will immediately takes a hefty swig of his beer and proceeds to make rounds greeting each co-worker with a smile, a pound and half-hug
Joe D: (Southern accent) Hey man, what goin’ on?
Will: Nada bro, just trying to kill the stress in my neck. I need about 4 more of these (lifting beer)
Joe D: I hear ya man, I am shot
Eddie: (Toward Will) Yo man, so what you doing tonight?
Will: Nothing man, I am having a few and I am out
Eddie: Yeah, yeah… Seriously I might be hitting this party tonight you should come, bro.
Will: Talk to me in about 4 more beers…
James: Yo B, I am glad you made it out. You have not been out in a minute
Will squirming a little and has the shakes - beer bottle shaking as evidence
Will: Dude, I just broke up with my fiancé, I am broke, and my nerves are shot. Dude, look at my hand
Will holds hand out straight to show how he cannot keep it still
James: Damn B, you gotta let that shit go. It’s all in your mind, son
Will: I know
Will shrugs
Will: Where all the bitches at?
James: That’s what I’m saying, it’s like Margaritaville up in here with all these cougars
Times passes quickly as the drinks are flowing
Cut to Eddie with Tony
Eddie: What do you need an eighth?
Tony: Yeah son
Eddie gets on cell phone (Talking inaudible)
Will: (giddiness in voice) Yo Tony, what’s up bro?
Gives pound and half-hug
Tony: (low toned) Nothing, about to get this yay
Will: (excited) Yo, I’m down, I’m down. I got you.
Tony: No doubt, no doubt
Cut to Eddie, Will, James, and Tony doing bumps in a car
(((Sniffing sounds)))
Eddie: Yo B, you coming tonight or what?
Will: Hell yeah, bro
Tony: Where y’all headed?
Eddie: Where going to this party at some rich dude’s house. You should see this house, it’s huge, bro.
Tony: I can come?
Eddie: Yeah!
Will thinking: I am so fucked
Quickly moving night at bar starts to end people giving pounds saying goodbye (Inaudible)
Cut to Eddie’s house where Will and Tony are sitting on a couch playing a video game
Will: This is why I hate chilling with this kid, he takes 2 hours to change
Tony: I know son, I am about to go bump this you coming?
Will: Nah, I’m good right now
Tony exits room
Will sits alone on couch only the light of the TV illuminating the room and his face
Will thinking: I should go, I should go, now’s my chance
Eddie: Yo B, two minutes
Will: Dick, you said that a half hour ago. Dude, I’m out
Eddie: Nah, nah two minutes
Will thinking: I should be sitting at home with her toasting to another accomplished work week. Why did she want me to go so badly, so fucking stu….
Eddie: Dude let’s go, where’s Tony?
Will: Finally! He’s outside.
Tony: Damn Eddie, you’re like a bitch. What takes you so fucking long?
Eddie: I wash my balls in the sink
Will and Tony laugh
Will: Yo Eddie, you drive I don’t know where the fuck we are going. I’ll leave my ride here
Eddie: Cool
Driving in the car, doing bumps
They hit the house with all windows brightly lit with crowds of people visible through the windows and in the front
Eddie: Yo what up?
People just nodding, as Will and Tony nod back
Tony: Yo Ed, which kid’s house is this?
Eddie: That gay looking kid over there
Points toward a guy in a lavender turtle neck and grey slacks
Will not paying attention heads right to the kitchen looking in the fridge and grabbing a beer, open it and start drinking
Eddie: Yo B, what happened I was going to introduce you to the owner…
Will: Ah, he’s rich what do I care
Eddie: (laughing) You’re out of your mind. That’s why I wanted you to come out tonight
Will smirking and visibly lit out of his mind
Will: What’s up after this?
Eddie: We are going to the mile
Will: Cool
Will wanders off and starts playing with the owners dog
Tony: Yo B, we’re out, where headed to the mile
Will: Sweet, this place is too fucking crowded
Will, Eddie, Tony exit mansion and get into car – driving, doing bumps, and smoking cigarettes
Will: Dude, where the fuck is this place Afghanistan?
Eddie: Ten minutes away
Tony: You have never been to the mile?
Will: A long time ago back when I was in High school. My friend was a waiter at a restaurant over there.
Tony: It’s jumpin’ on Friday nights
Eddie: Yeah, I let a girl lick my asshole over there once
Will: (dismissive) What? Who comes out of the clear blue with “I let a girl lick my asshole over there”…“Once”
Tony laughing
Eddie: Yo, this is the spot
They pull off to a bar right off the water and head in
Bouncer: ID’s out?
They show their ID’s and head in
Will hits the bar quickly to order drinks
Will: Let me get two Coors lights and a Jack & Coke
Bartender prepares the drinks and brings them over
Will: You guys take credit?
Bartender: Yes
Will: Run a tab
Hands bartender credit card and walks away with drink
Will: Here you go fellas
Hands out some drinks
Tony: Thanks, B
Eddie: Oh shit, where you at? Are you B-three hundred yet?
Will: If I am, I’m dead… I got a car payment and insurance due this week. Don’t let me get fucking crazy
Will, Tony, and Eddie scatter throughout the bar
Will heads out to the back of the bar where there is a balcony hanging over right off the water... Notices a guys in fatigues and a crew-cut
Will: Hey bro… You look straight out the army
Army guy: I am bro
Will: For real, from Iraq?
Army guy: Yeah, I seen some shit
Some girls start to attract
Will: I would never even ask
Army guy: No, It’s cool, I am just glad to be back
Girls start asking questions
Army guy: “Explaining war”
Girls get excited
Douchebag guy: What the fuck? Who is this guy?
Pointing at Will
Girl: I don’t know, he’s been talking to us… (In Will’s direction) Get away from us
Will: Fuck you cunt
Girl: I was not even talking to him
Douchebag guy: Why you talking to my girl?
Will: Fuck you, I wasn’t… I was talking to the guy from Iraq.
Bouncers come over and smooth things out
Bouncer1: You have to go
Will: Why me?
Eddie: No, he stays here…
Bouncer1: OK, he is your responsibility
Eddie proceeds to bring Will into the lounge area of the bar where people are just standing drinking and chatting
Will: This is some bullshit, I am sitting there talking to a war vet and some girls start jocking him. Next thing you know some fuckface is accusing me of talk to his chick
Eddie: Let it go bro, fuck it.
Will: Nah, nah, I’m good. It’s just fucking retarded
Will takes a slug of his beer as the girls from outside and a couple of their guys friends walk in to the lounge area
They look Will’s way much to his dismay
Will: (Toward the group of guys and girls) What the fuck is your problem?
Girl 2: We were not even talking to you. Back off!
Will: Fuck you, suck my fucking dick. (Pointing at each person in the group) You suck my dick, you suck my dick, and you… you can suck my cock!
Crowds start to gather a bit as Eddie pulls Will back
Will: You know something? Fuck this place. I’m done. I look like the bad guys when it’s these cunts who fucking instigated the entire fucking thing. I’m out…
Will heads out the bar and heads to the back of the bar by the dock area right off the water.
Muttering to himself
Will: I don’t even know why I decided to fucking come here tonight. I’m such a fucking idiot
Will reaches in his pocket pulls out a pack of cigarettes and proceeds to take one out and light it
As he leans back on the dock, he flips backwards over the railing plummeting 15 feet splashing into the dark placid water of the November night
Random guy: (slightly laughing) Yo, someone fell in!
(((Alarm clock on cell phone sounds)))
(((Alarm clock on cell phone sounds)))
(((Alarm clock on cell phone sounds)))
Will: What the fuck?
A simple, almost seemingly insignificant choice can be made every moment of every day. With this choice the continuation of life may proceed or you very well will meet your demise…
