Scene Sample

This scene is the beginning to plot point two. This leads up to Blake changing his life around, Trevin developing the app, Louis trying to help Blake and Al get their life's in order and ultimately the disappearance of Al.

 INT. LOUIS' HOUSE - NIGHT

          A well developed and raging party is taking place, all ages
          and class of people are in attendance. LOUIS stands in shock
          and looks worried. He grabs a blunt that is passed in front
          of his face and takes a long drag when reality strikes hard.
 
                              LOUIS
                    WHAT THE HELL??!?!?!? This doesn't
                    seem like a solution Al! This is a
                    problem.

                              AL
                    Loosen up, Lou. Gimme two seconds
                    and I'll give you three reasons
                    that this is working.

          AL walks away and comes back fairly quickly while LOUIS
          continues to panic inside and out. AL returns with an
          attractive blonde that can't be any older then 22 and Blake.

                              AL
                    Louis, I present to you reason 1,2
                    and... 3.

          On each number AL points, 1 - to the left breast of the
          blonde, 2 - to the right breast of the blonde, 3 - he points
          to Blake who pulls a large stack of cash out from his hoodie
          pocket.

                              LOUIS
                    But. But. But, how?

                              BLAKE
                    Cover fees, booze money, and drug
                    and paraphernalia pitch ins. Trevin
                    is did the math he estimates we can
                    pay off the next three months of
                    your mortgage by tonight's profits
                    alone.

                              LOUIS
                    Wait really?

                              TREVIN(Walking into the conversation) 
                    Really Uncle Lou. High Schoolers use 
                    their parents money and don't know the
                    value of anything. Al's street friends 
                    provided the drugs and some of the booze.
                    And then we have at least 50 strangers in 
                    here.
 
                              LOUIS
                    Alright then.. Let's fucking
                    party!!!

          The entire CROWD cheers!

                              LOUIS
                    Wait. That dude is shooting heroine
                    on my couch... No!

          BLAKE places his hand on Louis' chest.

                              BLAKE
                    And he paid 300 bucks to be able to
                    do it somewhere that his wife won't
                    see him. So I suggest we leave the
                    nice businessman alone.

          EXT. LOUIS' BACKYARD - MORNING

          LOUIS, AL, BLAKE and TREVIN sit in the back yard passing
          around a joint.

                              LOUIS
                    Look guys, this may be the drugs
                    and alcohol talking but thanks. I
                    dunno how I would have gotten
                    through the next few months without
                    you guys. You're like my real
                    family.

                              TREVIN
                    Don't say that quite yet... I
                    forgot to calculate in clean up
                    cost. This may only get you through
                    the next month. So either you and
                    Al need jobs or we gotta through
                    one of these monthly or better yet
                    weekly.

                              LOUIS
                    Oh no. I'm gonna be sick.
 
          LOUIS turns and pukes onto the grass.

                              LOUIS
                    Did you say monthly? I can't handle
                    this once what makes you think I
                    can handle this monthly?

                              BLAKE
                    Tolerance. That's why I can smoke a
                    lot of weed now.

                              LOUIS
                    This isn't weed you moron! This is
                    my life. I know that you are so
                    delusioned in your forever high
                    school world that you can't see
                    what it's like to get a job or pay
                    a mortgage or get a divorce but I'm
                    going to tell you right now that
                    you wouldn't last a day. Sure you
                    could sell weed and be able to live
                    in a van eating Spaghetti rings out
                    of a can for a few years but the
                    truth is that no one wants a loser
                    like that in their lives. Trevin
                    will grow out of this phase but
                    what are you gonna do?

                              TREVIN
                    Woah asshole. That's uncalled for.
                    Blake is working his way back up in
                    life.

                              LOUIS
                    Sorry. Sorry. Sorry Blake. I'm just
                    kinda on edge. Blake? Where'd he
                    go?

          The guys all look around but can't find BLAKE.
 
                              AL
                    Well shit. We better find him
                    before he goes and does something
                    stupid.

          They all split up looking around the yard and house.
