INT. DARK ROOM-TIME IS NOT FOUND.
We see two men sitting in a dark room. One man is smoking a cigarette and we see the glow of it through the darkness. The other man is sitting directly across from him. The man with the cigarette is a mafia leader and goes by the name Cake Daddy. The humble fellow sitting across from him is a part of Cake Daddy's crew, his name is Lou. They play chess as they sit and talk.
CAKE DADDY
So you think I am stupid? What makes me stupid?
LOU
No, no, no. I said that move was stupid. Not you. Definitely not you, Cake Daddy.
CAKE DADDY
Well then, so what I have herd is that my moves are stupid? Now I look at you, and I see: a man striving for something to high to reach. Now what do you think of that my little theory? The next thing I think is that I have a gun, a big gun. So if would like to sit in my place and say that my moves are stupid I would think you should either leave, or close your eyes and clench your teeth because, Lou I have the gun and to my own knowledge you do not.
LOU
Oh? Well I was just trying to save you from getting in checkmate.
CAKE DADDY
I am a big boy. Now back to business.
LOU
Okay, so the stuff coming in tonight is much gooder then the first stuff, so then the guys will have a funner time in the shipping yards. Then the old stuff is gonna be thrown out, cause it ain't worth keeping.
CAKE DADDY
Where the hell did you go to school? I mean I am not a man of education but I think that you should know that gooder, funner, and ain't are not words.
LOU
They aren't?
CAKE DADDY
Oh for shit sakes tell me you knew that! I mean I have a bloody guy working for me that is not anymore smarter then a bucket of sea gunk? Jesus if you where one of my own I would shave your ass and make you walk backwards!
LOU
Thanks. I would be glad to be your son.
CAKE DADDY
If you where my son, I would have to wrap you in a garbage bag and throw you in a river at birth. Now please stop talking because you are beginning to dig yourself in a hole, and already it is to deep for you to just climb out. So the stuff you say is much more of a higher standard then the first shipment?
LOU
Well to my knowledge.
CAKE DADDY
For shit sakes, is it, or is it not?
LOU
Yes.
CAKE DADDY
Are you sure?
LOU
I think.
CAKE DADDY
My gun is getting very angry with you. I mean all I would like to hear is a yes, or a no.
He looks at his goon
Is that to much to ask?
GOON
No, not one bit Cake Daddy.
LOU
Yes it is!
Cake Daddy throws a look at Lou.
CAKE DADDY
Never yell at me, I mean I am far more superior than you, Lou. I think You should stop. Come on, tell me you hear me.
LOU
Yeah, I hear you for Christ sakes! Just give me the money and I will go!
CAKE DADDY
No no no no. You just don't get it. Do you Lou?
LOU
Get what?
Cake Daddy starts to laugh and then his goon joins in. We then put the camera on Lou and we see him start to laugh. He does not even know what he is laughing about.
CAKE DADDY
Get that I must kill you.
LOU
Ha ha ha ha. Yeah that's a great joke, Cake daddy. So is the money here?
CAKE DADDY
Now, I think you should now know that I am not joking.
LOU
Your not?
CAKE DADDY
No, not one bit. So please understand.
LOU
What? That you have to kill me? After busting my ass, almost getting put in jail? No I don't understand! Please tell me!
CAKE DADDY
Now if I have to make money where do you think t\it comes from?
LOU
Organized crime.
CAKE DADDY
Correct, now if I plan to pay you half of my profit in this deal, what percent of the money do I get?
LOU
Fifty.
CAKE DADDY
Correct again, see you are smart. So now the question is what percent should I be getting?
Lou looks at the goon, then back at Cake Daddy. There is silence in the room. Cake Daddy sets his gun on the table. Lou stares at it. Cake Daddy then picks it up. We see the sweat pour off of Lou. Cake daddy starts to smile, and then hands Lou a handkerchief, Lou dabs the sweat off.
LOU
Okay, lets make a deal, you can have seventy-five percent.
CAKE DADDY
No, wrong. I was thinking more along the lines of one hundred.
LOU
Yeah, sure.
CAKE DADDY
I'm glad you see it my way.
Cake Daddy picks up the gun and points it at Lou. We have a shot of the gun barrel. We then look at Lou and see his eyes closed. We move the camera around to the goon, we then here one shot, the goon smiles. We then cut to Cake Daddy.
CAKE DADDY
He was a good boy, you know?
GOON
Yeah. What should I do with the body?
CAKE DADDY
The body needs to be deposed of. The field.
GOON
Sure thing Cake Daddy.
CUT TO:
EXT. FIELD. DAY
We see the goon dragging Lou body through tall grass. We then cut to a shot of the bullet hole in Lou's head. Lou is very pale and his lips are purple, and blue.
GOON
God, you're a heavy son of a bitch! Man that was one fine shot Cake Daddy did, eh Lou? Well I guess you ain't gonna be talking to much now are ya?
He drops Lou and stands above him looking down at his face. We see the view through Lou's perspective.
Well have fun. Make sure to wear sun screen, and bug spray! Don't forget now Lou.
The goon walks away and we then focus on Lou's dead body. We zoom in on to the bullet hole in his head and fade to white. Which will then flow into the next scene.
EXT. FIELD. EARLY MORNING.
We fade into white from Lou's perspective. We then fade half out, and then half in again. We hear Lou groan.
LOU
Aw my head. I got such a headach.
We are still at Lou's perspective and we look around at the surroundings. He then gets up and starts to walk, we watch him walk down a dirt road, we are no longer in his perspective.
LOU
So thirsty. Need water. Where am I? Need water?
CUT TO:
Lou staggering up a neighborhood street.
CUT TO:
EXT. HOUSE. MORNING.
We see Lou at the end of a driveway. We then zoom n on his head. We watch him slowly walk up the driveway.
CUT TO:
INT. HOUSE. MORNING
We watch a young teen male get up out of bed. We see the time on his alarm clock, it says 9:05am, he gets up and walks into the bathroom, he then takes a piss. We then see him brushing his teeth. We follow him down some stairs and into a kitchen. He pulls out some Pop Tarts and puts them into the toaster. He walks over to the table and picks up a note left by his mother. It reads:
Dear Josh
I had to go to work a bit early today, help yourself to the leftovers in the fridge. Remember the rules. And don't let any strangers in the house, salesmen or not! I will be home late tonight, also make sure not to leave all the lights on. Dad will be home tomorrow night, so if you could please cut the grass for him. Clean up after yourself and don't have to many people over and if Suzie calls tell her I won't be able to go out tonight.
Hugs and Kisses
MOM
JOSH
Alright, freedom.
WE here the door bell ring. Josh walks up to the door and through the glass we see Lou. Josh open the door and we quickly cut to a shot from outside.
JOSH
Hello?
LOU
Water.
JOSH
Oh, god, you have a bullet in your head.
He slams the door on Lou. We hear the doorbell again. Josh opens the door.
JOSH
Please go away, this ain't funny!
LOU
Some water, please.
JOSH
Will you go then?
LOU
Yup.
JOSH
Okay, come on in.
LOU
You okay? You look like you just saw a ghost.
JOSH
Oh? I think I'm just shocked that you have a bullet hole in your head.
LOU
Oh yeah. I forgot, just got it.
JOSH
Okay well lets get your water.
LOU
Yeah, that would be nice.
We get the door slammed on us.
CUT TO:
INT. KITCHEN. MORNING
Lou is drinking a glass of water.
LOU
So, how old are you?
JOSH
Fifteen.
LOU
Oh.
Pause
So you home alone?
JOSH
No.
LOU
Where are your parents?
JOSH
In the shower, they'll be down in a minute.
LOU
There both in the shower?
JOSH
Uh yeah, you know how it is.
LOU
Oh yeah.
Lou starts to laugh.
JOSH
Oh no, not that! There saving water...uh yeah.
LOU
There not home are they?
JOSH
Yeah, why?
LOU
I just read the note here on the table.
JOSH
Oh. Well your not gonna kill me are you?
LOU
No.
JOSH
Robb the house?
LOU
No.
JOSH
Do something to me?
LOU
No.
JOSH
Okay, so your just here for the water.
LOU
Yup.
JOSH
Great!
LOU
You thought I was a crazy or something?
JOSH
Well no, well maybe.
LOU
I can understand that.
JOSH
You can.
LOU
Of course, I knock on your door with a bullet hole in my head, then I stand at your door and ask for water. It is pretty weird.
JOSH
Yeah.
LOU
And you more than likely would like to know where it came from.
JOSH
Yeah, kinda.
LOU
Okay, I work for this guy, Cake Daddy.
JOSH
Cake Daddy?
LOU
He, well his great, great grandfather invented the cake.
JOSH
Oh?
LOU
Sao anyway, I had this deal for him, I was connected to a corporation in Indonesia that made those freaking Beanie Baby's. So I had a shipment sent to New York for him, Cake Daddy. But he found out the big secret.
JOSH
What?
LOU
Well the Beanie Baby's were fake.
JOSH
So he shot you in the head.
LOU
No. Cake Daddy always gives most guys a second chance. He is good that way. So I had a shipment of the real ones sent in. The only problem they where about double the price. So I didn't tell him. So I had to go over to house to collect the money. I thought I would make enough money to retire young. But no. He found out the profit I was making and told me he was going to get a hundred percent of the profit. It was down to two choices for me. One I could give him the money. And two, I could die. So figured that my life is to good to blow away, so I said he could have the money.
JOSH
And he still shot you! What a homosexual!
LOU
Hey! None of that talk.
JOSH
Sorry I was way out of line.
LOU
Yes, you where. Well so here I am, still alive with a bullet in my head. 3.9 million in the hole and no sense of where I am.
JOSH
Harsh.
LOU
Yeah, yeah I think I could maybe start fresh you know.
JOSH
Like become a lawyer?
LOU
I was more thinking along the line of a astronaut.
JOSH
Yeah you could go to Mars!
LOU
Sure would be fun, eh?
JOSH
Oh yeah!
LOU
Or I guess I could go back to school.
JOSH
Yup.
LOU
Or even build one!
JOSH
If you build it, they will come.
LOU
You think?
JOSH
Uh huh, or maybe be a farmer.
