LOST IN AMSTERDAM
ACT I
1 EXT. DION'S RECORD STORE NIGHT 1
Angelo Clemente steps out of a stretch Lincoln. From head to
toe he is dressed to the hilt. He goes to a pay phone and
slips in a dime. Douglas Nice is locking up his record store.
His son Dion Nice is following him around the store. Douglas
notices three men walking up behind Angelo carrying bats. He
turns to Dion and tells him to stay put while he pulls out a
club and turns out the store light.
As the men get closer to Angelo, Douglas hits one of them in
the head. Angelo turns around and hits another one of the
men, then dodges the third.
Douglas hits the third man and drops him as Angelo uses one
of their own bats to beat them.
The strangers, Angelo and Douglas fight together and knock
out the three attackers who are laying unconscious at their
feet. Angelo drops the bat.
ANGELO
Thank you.
DOUGLAS
No problem man. Wasn't a fair
fight.
ANGELO
You know who I am?
DOUGLAS
Yeah I do.
ANGELO
You ever need anything you ask for
me.
DOUGLAS
Thank you sir but I was just doing
what's right. Anyone would friend.
Douglas sees his son looking out the window.
ANGELO
Don't worry. Nothing will happen
here. My boys will be here any
minute. Go home with your son Dion.
DOUGLAS
Actually I'm Douglas, that is Dion.
Named the store after him.
They shake hands. Dion watches through the window.
DION
That day Angelo Clemtente, the most
feared man in the neighborhood
became my second father. He would
soon be my only father.
FADE OUT.
FADE IN:
2 EXT. ALBERT'S SPOT 2
Dion Nice, Thirty year old man walks up to a large metal
door, in an alley lower than the sidewalk. Two Large Pit
bulls are chained in front of the door barking like mad. Dion
scoots by them and knocks on the door.
ROSCO
Who the fuck is it?
ALBERT
Yeah, who the fuck is it?
DION
Yo, it's me fellas.
3 INT. ALBERT'S SPOT 3
We see a large Italian man talking to a tall skinny guy at a
card table.
ROSCO

ALBERT

stay away from the dogs.
4 EXT MILL BASIN NIGHBORHOOD NIGHT 4
ROSCO
Wait outside and stay away from the
dogs!
DION
Yeah, I heard yas.
Dion waits. The dogs stare at him intently. The door opens
and Rosco, with a plastic bag, comes out followed by Albert.
ALBERT
I thought you were supposed to be
here three hours ago. You think I
don't have other things going on?
DION
What, you want me to come back?
ALBERT
Don't be a wise guy. Go back there.
I got a lady friend inside.
DION
Do ya? Do ya really? A'ight Albert.
I'll wait.
ALBERT
This fucking guy. Always a wise-ass
They walk into the back alley.
5 EXT. ALLEY NIGHT 5
Dion is talking to Albert and Rosco. Rosco has a supermarket,
plastic bag under his arm.
ALBERT
So now,you know you got seven days
to pull off your stupid concert and
give me my money back Mr. Promoter,
or starting in seven days you will
owe me and my father ten points
interest per week, which does not
come off the principle loan, which
if you don't know, comes to four
thousand dollars per week
compounded.
Dion stares and Albert's finger pointing and back at him
smugly.
DION
I got ya.
Awkward pause. Albert looks at Rosco.
ALBERT
Are you gonna just stand there
looking at Dion like you're in love
with him or are you gonna give him
the money?
ROSCO
Sorry boss.
DION
I do kinda like you Rosco.
ROSCO
Aww ...
ALBERT
Give him the fucking money! Un
fucking believable.
DION
Your gonna give me forty thousand
dollars in a plastic bag? Classy
Al, classy.
Suddenly a pot of water falls on Albert.
MRS. RUSSO
What are you fucking kids doing out
there! Stop smoking the pot Albert!
ALL
Sorry Mrs. Russo!
MRS. RUSSO
Oh Dion, I didn't see you down
there! Did I wet you?
DION
No Mrs. Russo.
MRS. RUSSO
How's your father's record shop.
DION
OK Mrs. Russo!
MRS. RUSSO
Tell your uncle I said hi. A bunch
of gentlemen your family. You could
learn something from him Albert.
Now get out from under my window
before I call your father!
They turn to leave and hear tires screeching and headlights
flash in front of them.
CUT TO:
6 EXT. FYNX'S HOME NIGHT 6
A car is screaming down the street, filled with loud drunk
punk girls with colored hair.
7 EXT. FYNX'S HOME NIGHT 7
The car turns corners wildly and screeches to a halt in front
of a gaudy but expensive house. FYNX ROMANAVICH, 26, with
spikey hair and baggy ripped jeans comes out of the car and
slams the door.
FYNX
Assholes! I told you not to pull
that shit anymore! You're gonna
wake my dad.
DRUNKGIRL 1
We love you Fynx!
FYNX
Shhh!
The car drives off and the girls are laughing. Fynx turns to
her imposing house of quiet.
8 INT FYNX'S HOME NIGHT 8
FYNX walks in and all is clear. Her parents house is filled
with very modern artwork of Brooklyn people on Brooklyn
streets. She walks into the kitchen and opens the
refrigerator to get some orange juice. When she closes it her
mother, Diane Romanavich, is standing there angry.
DIANE
When you said you wanted to go to
art school, your father and I
supported you. When you said you
wanted to go to graduate school to
paint, your father and I said maybe
she'll teach? When you said that
you wanted to take a year off after
school, your father and I sent you
on a two week cruise of the Mexican
Riviera. I have not seen the
Mexican Riviera. Do you know how
long ago that cruise was?
FYNX
I'm tired, can we talk in the
morning mah? I need to go to
bed...Argh! Why don't you ever
listen to me?
DIANE
Two years ago this May Fynx
Romanavich! Two years and twelve
hundred dollars later and you are
sneeking in like you are sixteen.
You are killing your father.
FYNX
You are killing my father. If you
want me out, then I'll go.
DIANE
Oh and do what? It's time you dyed
your hair back to whatever color it
was and start looking for a
husband. You are not getting any
younger and all the good boys will
be taken.
FYNX
You ever think that I am not
looking for a good boy mah?
DIANE
Oh my god she's a lesbian.
Fynx walks upstairs.
DIANE
I told your father not to let you
go to art school!
9 INT. OFFICE NIGHT 9
We see a picture of Fynx, and Dion with a scruffy
guy(Butterfly Jones)and a fun, pretty woman (Krysta Kropkin)
at a club smiling. As we pull back, we see Krysta is sitting
at a desk doing paperwork in an office. The phone lines are
ringing off the hook. Krysta no longer looks like the woman
in the picture. She seems bogged down by life. She hangs up
the phone and holds her head in her hands. Behind her, a door
opens and three strippers rush in. Two holding one dress
between them and the other pushes forward.
STRIPER 2 & 3
That's my dress!
FANTASIA
Krysta! Krysta are you listening to
me?
KRYSTA
Yes Fantasia!
FANTASIA
Can you see my Tampon string?
KRYSTA
Yes Fantasia. It's like a fucking
rip cord between your legs.
FANTASIA
Geronimo baby!
Fantasia tucks it in.
Krysta turns her head and sighs.
KRYSTA
How did I get here?
Pull in on Butterfly Jones in the picture.
10 EXT. WAREHOUSE NIGHT 10
A line of people is formed outside an abandoned warehouse.
Moving up the line we see a diverse group of young adults. Up
front at the door are Butterfly Jones and Fynx
BUTTERFLY
Don't walk up here with no stories
cause you ain't getting in without
some green! Spendable or smokable.
We take donations!
Moving through the crowd upstairs and towards the music the
abandoned building becomes a techno-colored dream.
11 INT WAREHOUSE NIGHT 11
A crowd is jumping to a Hip-Hop beat. SAGA ONE is on the
stage with other "CYPHER music" Artists.
Dion Nice and Krysta are sitting at the bar, looking over the
crowd proudly. Krysta is pounding shots of Whiskey while Dion
is smoking a blunt, he hands it to Krysta.
DION NICE
You didn't think I could do it.
KRYSTA
I still don't. How much did those
lights cost and better yet where
did we get the money to throw this
concert? We are in the hole Dion!
DION NICE
The lights were an investment and
If we throw a good concert, people
will remember us and before you
know it we'll be on top again.
KRYSTA
Well...It actually is a pretty good
concert.
DION NICE
The concerts' pretty good???It's
turning out to be unforgettable...
Dion tries to ignore Krysta's question when suddenly
Butterfly Jones runs through followed by Fynx holding the jar
of money over her head.
FYNX
Run!
Butterfly runs back into frame and takes the blunt from
Krysta. Krysta and Dion look at each other, She takes off.
DION
I am so fucked!
Krysta's hand comes into the screen and grabs Dion by the
shirt, pulling him off his stool. Freeze frame.
CUT TO:
12 EXT. WAREHOUSE NIGHT (EARLIER THAT EVENING) 12
Albert is on the phone.
ALBERT
Uh... yeah. I want to report an
illegal party, with drugs, under
aged drinking and uh...gunplay. I
fear for my life. Please, please
send the police to 420 Remsen ave.
Thank you, please hurry.
Albert hangs up laughing
13 INT. WAREHOUSE NIGHT 13
A door opens up, showing the silhouettes of cops. Everyone
stops dancing.
Dion, Krysta, Fynx, and Butterfly duck into a stairwell. They
run down a flight of stairs and open a back door to see cops
with guns pointed at them. A cop's hand reaches into frame
and takes the jar of money. The frame freezes.
KRYSTA
Fucking hell.
CUT TO:
14 BLACK SCREEN. 14
A mug shot of Dion Nice pops up on the screen followed by
Krysta, Fynx and Butterfly's mug shots. Dion's mug shot
begins to move.

16 EXT DION'S RECORD STORE DAY 16
Dion is in front of his record store talking to his Uncle
Woodrow.
UNCLE WOODROW
Boy I told you not to mess with dat
Prince Albert mutha fucka! I told
ya! Now look. You're sitting there
looking all pitiful. And you know
he set yo dumb ass up too. You
better tell yo friends.
DION
I know Uncle Woodrow.
UNCLE WOODROW
Step up and be a man, boy. You
better get your friends out of
this. Speaking of manboys, look at
this halfwit.
Butterfly is walking down the block towards the store. He is
smoking a blunt. Dion stops talking to his Uncle Woodrow and
notices Butterfly.
UNCLE WOODROW
What is wrong with you children?
Dion looks up to see two police officers behind Butterfly.
Before he can say anything a beautiful woman, Victoria
Hamilton, crosses his vision walking towards Butterfly. She
calmly grabs Butterfly by the arm and whispers in his ear.
VICTORIA
Sweetie, there are two cops about
fifteen feet behind you, about to
grab you for that blunt, I would
take off if I were you.
Butterfly turns to see two cops running towards him.
BUTTERFLY JONES
Oh shit thanks.
Butterfly runs by Dion and uncle Woodrow. Dion and Victoria
lock eyes. They both smile. Victoria's Assistant, Tiffani,
walks over to her.
BUTTERFLY JONES (CONT'D)
What's up D? Hey Uncle Woodrow!
UNCLE WOODROW
Damn fool child. This is too much
for me, this boy bringing cops
around here. You know I got a
record.
DION
I'll see you later Uncle Woodrow.
Dion goes inside. Tiffani, Victoria's assistant grabs her
arm.
UNCLE WOODROW
You ain't gonna see me no where.
I'm gonna move my ass down to
Georgia. Open up a real music
store...dumb ass kids.
TIFFANI
Oh my God, Victoria! You could have
been hurt.
VICTORIA
And you'd be unemployed and
unemployable. Relax Tiffany.
17 INT. OFFICE NIGHT 17
Dion walks into the office and looks at the same picture of
the group Krysta was looking at.
He holds his head in desperation. Suddenly Butterfly falls
through a window. Dion doesn't flinch.
DION
Took you awhile. You're getting
old.
BUTTERFLY JONES
Yeah, but I'm getting better.
Butterfly holds up the blunt, still lit.
BUTTERFLY JONES
Did you see that hot chick that
grabbed my arm in the street? She
totally wanted me dude.
DION
And how did you figure that out?
BUTTERFLY JONES
My cock shifted.
Butterfly brushes himself off. Dion looks up shocked.
DION
Really?
BUTTERFLY JONES
But it was to the right.
DION
Oh...
BUTTERFLY JONES
Dude, what's wrong?
DION
I'm in some shit...I mean we're in
some shit...I mean I'm... I got us
into some shit.
BUTTERFLY JONES
Oh...That sounds like I need to
roll again.
DION
Don't bother. You'll be leaving as
soon as I tell you what happened.
BUTTERFLY JONES
Dude just tell me what happened?
I've been running from the cops, I
aint goin' nowhere.
DION
I borrowed forty thousand dollars
for the party from Albert.
BUTTERFLY JONES
You what?
DION
Yeah.
BUTTERFLY JONES
Dion, come on. You know this guy
hates you... I'm not the sharpest
tack in the fucking box but you
don't think he is the one who
tipped off the cops and set us up?
DION
My uncle just said the same thing
but I don't believe it. It doesn't
make any sense. Why wouldn't he
want to make money on this deal? He
knows I couldn't pay him back if
the concert flopped.
BUTTERFLY JONES
Exactly, he's hated you since we
were kids. He would totally want us
to fall flat on our faces.
DION
Still, his dad would kill him for
ratting to the cops...especially
ratting me out. He ain't that
stupid.
BUTTERFLY JONES
Yeah, we're talking about Albert
here! He is borderline retarded.
Didn't he almost drowned when the
elephant pissed on him at the zoo?
DION
Dude stop it.
BUTTERFLY JONES
Nah man you remember. His pudgy
little legs flailing in elephant
piss. "Oh no, please help me".
They laugh until Dion gets serious again. Albert and Rosco
walk into the office. Rosco is holding a baseball bat. Albert
is pointing a gun at Dion's head.
DION
Hello Albert.
ALBERT (HAVING HEARD EVERYTHING THEY
SAID ABOUT HIM)
I fell in a fucking moat dickheads.
It was a trying childhood
experience that I am still trying
to work through.
ROSCO
Yeah, he still has to shower with
the curtain open.
ALBERT
Shut the fuck up Rosco.
DION
This is all very refreshing and
informative but could we move this
gun away from my head.
Albert lowers the gun.
ALBERT
You know Dion, I've been coming by
looking for you. You don't return
my phone calls, your never here
when I come by, You missed four
payments, which leaves me to
believe that you are ducking me.
DION
Nah, Albert, I've just been busy.
ALBERT
Real busy huh, trying to figure out
how you are gonna pay old Albert
back. Because, now you owe me sixty
one thousand dollars compounded.
DION
I know. I understand, but...
ALBERT (INTERUPTING DION)
Do ya? I don't think you do
understand. Although I'd like the
interest to keep growing on my
money, I don't think you have the
means to pay what you already owe.
So if you don't start making your
payments, you, this silly fuck over
here, and your bitches are gonna
get capped.
DION
Leave them out of this Albert.
ALBERT
All you fucks were involved with
the concert, so the debt belongs to
all of you guys. Deal with it.
Friday Dicko. That's it.
DION
I'm sure we can work something out
Al.
ALBERT
I am sure we can't.
DION
Come on let me talk to your dad.
We'll fix this.
ALBERT
You got nothing to talk to my
fucking dad about period! Stay away
from my dad and just get my fucking
money.
DION
Come on your not serious?
ALBERT
Rosco, show him how serious I am.
Rosco starts swinging the bat. Breaking a picture of Dion's
Dad on the wall and knocking over records.
DION
What the fuck Al. That's my dad.
ALBERT
Is this serious enough for you?
Friday mutha fucker. Or next it's
My baby Krysta's pretty face,
BUTTERFLY JONES
If you fucking touch...
Butterfly is fuming and jumps at Albert. Dion pulls him back
and slams him into the wall.
DION
Not now fly.
Albert and Rosco walk out. Dion and Butterfly are sitting
there.
BUTTERFLY JONES
What the fuck? How could you get
the girls mixed up with this?
DION
I didn't think.
BUTTERFLY JONES
You know I'd take a bullet for you
but Krys and Fynx? What are we
gonna do? This clown wants to kill
us?
DION
I don't know. What can we do?
BUTTERFLY JONES
I'm leaving.
DION
I told you, you would.
BUTTERFLY JONES
I mean I'm leaving town and telling
the girls.
DION
Where are you gonna go?
BUTTERFLY JONES
Amsterdam.
DION
What?
BUTTERFLY JONES
You heard me.
DION
Dude we are in this thing together.
The four of us.
BUTTERFLY JONES
Yeah right, united we stand. Dude
"the four" of us didn't know until
now. As a matter of fact the rest
of the group is still clueless.
DION
I know.
BUTTERFLY JONES
We got to tell them.
DION
Yeah but we really should have a
plan first. Krysta will kill me.
KRYSTA
A plan for what. What happened
here? Why am I killing you?
FYNX
Holy crap! Look at this place.
KRYSTA
What did you do Butt Fly?
BUTTERFLY JONES
What did Butterfly do? What did
Dion do! Mutha fucka borrowed forty
thousand dollars from Albert...in
our names...without us knowing!
DION
Smooth. Great plan.
KRYSTA
What! What did he say? What did
that stoned mother fucker say just
now?
BUTTERFLY JONES
And now Dion owes sixty one
thousand dollars total with
compounded interest whatever the
fuck that means, and he wants to
move to Amsterdam...crazy huh?
Looking at Dion provokingly.
KRYSTA
What is this??? Is Fly serious?
DION
Yeah, we owe sixty one thousand
dollars.
KRYSTA
You borrowed forty thousand
dollars? The party cost twenty
thousand,where is the other twenty
thousand?
Dion goes into his desk and opens a lock box.
DION
Here is nineteen thousand, four
hundred.
KRYSTA
Where is the other six hundred?
He goes back into the lock box.
DION
Here is the best smoke you've
tasted in years...and did you
notice my lovely jacket?
KRYSTA
Oh my god, you're are such a dick.
What are you going to do now?
BUTTERFLY JONES
And that's the best part. We have
to pay Albert before he kills us
all.
KRYSTA
What?
FYNX
What?
KRYSTA
Is he serious?
DION
He is.
FYNX
I'll go?
KRYSTA
Don't be silly Fynx. We can't go to
Amsterdam. How do you plan on
fixing this Dion?
DION
I don't know. We can't get that
much money by Friday.
FYNX
We got to do something. We have
nineteen thousand dollars, we have
to run and we love Amsterdam.
KRYSTA
Not even if we could, we wouldn't
make that throwing another concert.
FYNX
What the fuck? Can anyone hear me?
DION
OK, what if we just take some time
away from here and figure this out.
KRYSTA
What do you mean?
DION
Maybe Fly is right?
FYNX
Fly is right?
BUTTERFLY JONES
Yeah, Listen to the little one.
Sounds like she's onto something.
I'm telling you I'm right. I got
nothing here. My aunt and uncle
wouldn't even notice if I left.
DION
You know what, I will take care of
Albert. I'll go talk to his dad and
everything will be OK.
KRYSTA
No Dion, That's the problem! You
think you can fix everything. You
can't! We are running for our
lives. You hear this? Do you
understand! How much further do you
want this to go? Now you need to
listen to us. This dumb fuck may be
a dumb fuck but he is right. We got
to go. Amsterdam is as good as any
place else.
Long pause.
BUTTERFLY JONES
I knew there was a reason I loved
you.
KRYSTA
Yeah right...I was the only girl
who would fuck you.

outside.
UNCLE WOODROW
Well if you wanna get out before
Albert shows up you better get a
move on because he just showed up.
Dion turns and sees them coming out the car. He leaves
through the back. Albert walks in and looks around. Albert
walks up to the counter and sees an Amsterdam travel guide.
ALBERT
Dion planning for travel?

BUTTERFLY is wearing an united pot smuggler shirt.
KRYSTA
Did you have to wear that

KRYSTA in shock.
KRYSTA
Why would you smuggle pot

BUTTERFLY
Well we have 7 hours until
Amsterdam. Waitress could I have
some OJ! Hey, you guys think I
could smoke a bowl in the bathroom.
ALL

After awhile Butterfly starts to get edgy.
DION
You OK Butterfly?
Butterfly is sweaty and pasty. Dion looks at his watch. It
reads 4:18 am. Dion chuckles. Butterfly addresses a male
flight attendant passing by.
BUTTERFLY
Stewardess!
FLIGHT ATTENDANT
Steward.
BUTTERFLY
Where's your bathroom?
Krysta looks up as Butterfly walks away.
FYNX
Is he sick?
DION
He'll be fine.
28 INT AIRPLANE BATHROOM DAY 28
Butterfly locks himself in the bathroom looking at his watch.
It reads 4:18:50 am He wrestles with his belt and pulls down
his pants. Butter fly removes a layer of foam latex from his
butt cheeks revealing two pieces of tape on his ass. Each one
holds layers of fabric softener sheets with a plastic bag. In
the bag is a nugget of Hydro.
BUTTERFLY
Oh sweet cheeba!
He kisses it and looks up at the smoke detector. Then at the
toilet paper roll.
He begins to wind the paper around his hand. Building speed
faster and faster. He does this until the roll is done and he
has a mound on his hand.
He tries to take off the mound but cannot and fills the tube
with the fabric softener sheets using one hand. He then pulls
a small piece of aluminum foil out of his pocket, fashions a
pipe and shoves the bud in there.
Butterfly looks at his watch, which is just peaking out of
the toilet paper. It reads 4:19:58. As it turns 4:20 he
sparks the bowl and inhales the entire bud. Butterfly sits
back with a smile and exhales into the toilet paper roll.
He raises the hand with the toilet paper on it and sees it is
on fire. He begins to panic and dumps his hand in the toilet.
The Fire Alarm goes off in the plane. All the air masks drop
from the ceiling.
Butterfly is trying to turn off the detector with a wet mound
of toilet paper on his hand, dripping on to him. His foot
falls into the toilet, causing it to overflow. Butterfly
notices it and tries to pull his foot out and looses his
balance falling through the door.
29 EXT AIRPLANE BATHROOM DAY 29
Butterfly falls in front of the flight attendant and get up
quickly.
ATTENDANT
Sir were you burning something in
there?
Butterfly gets up, adjusts his wet clothing, and slaps the
wet mound of tissue into the hand of the flight attendant.
BUTTERFLY
I most certainly was not.
Your smoke alarm has seemed
to malfunction, ruining my
clothing. I will be returning to my
seat and you will be receiving a
letter.
He walks off righteously. Butterfly returns to his seat next
to Krysta.
KRYSTA
(to Butterfly)
You're an asshole.
BUTTERFLY
WHAT...I'm not really gonna send a
letter.

DION

KRYSTA

BUTTERFLY is overcome with giddiness. Fynx and Butterfly are
laughing and looking at the street. Dion looks down the
street and sees a balcony.
KRYSTA
I don't know what you people think
we are going to do out here but we

He picks up his bags and starts walking. Butterfly and Fynx
immediately follow him.

A homeless man walks up to Krysta.
HUMPHREY

KRYSTA
Yes.
HUMPHREY

Humphrey walks away.
KRYSTA

Krysta.
HUMPHREY

Krysta walks away from Humphrey.

Fynx drags her bags to the bed by the balcony. Krysta comes
out of the bathroom and Dion goes in.
FYNX
What the fuck?
Krysta gets to unpacking her bags. Dion comes out the
bathroom and Butterfly goes in laughing.
FYNX
Are you fucking kidding me?
I'm calling this bed.
Dion comes on to the balcony.
DION
What a view huh?
KRYSTA
I haven't seen it yet. You should
unpack.
Butterfly comes out and Fynx jumps over the beds, hits
butterfly and goes into the bathroom. Dion picks up his stuff
and puts it on the bed by the balcony. Fynx comes out of the
bathroom.
FYNX
You got to be fucking kidding me?
Why don't you fucks ever listen to
me.
DION
What's wrong with you?
FYNX
I had to piss! Nobody cares and
that was my bed.
DION
You can have it. Don't act like a
baby.
FYNX
I'm not. I'm just saying everything
I say gets ignored. Why don't you
people ever listen to me?
KRYSTA
We listen to you sweetie. Dion's
giving you the bed by the window
and everyone's gone to the
bathroom. We need to all sit down
now and talk about how we are going
to live here.
DION
You know what, That's a good idea
Krysta.
BUTTERFLY JONES
How much do I have for the girls in
the windows?
KRYSTA
Fuck you fly.
Fynx sits down on the bed by the balcony.
DION
You know Krys? We should all go eat
and see this city first. That way
we can figure out how much things
are going to cost.
BUTTERFLY JONES
I love that idea. Food, smoke, and
our financial status...sounds
terrific.
DION
Breakfast cats?
35 EXT. AIRPORT NIGHT 35
Rosco and Albert are standing on line to go through the metal

Oh my god you idiot.
LINE MEMBER

hands his ticket to the security guard and goes through the
detector.
36 INT AIRPORT SECURITY OFFICE. 36
Albert is ass up on a table. Two security guards are holding

to cut you from your throat to your
balls,fill you with fucking
nickels, then throw you into the
gowanus canal.
Rosco slowly walks over to Albert. When he is near, Albert

There wasn't a large selection
here.
KRYSTA
OK, We have to come up with a plan
for living here.
FYNX
We still have a bunch of cash.
KRYSTA
We have fifteen thousand left and I
am telling you it is going to go
fast.
FYNX
I have never spent fifteen thousand
in my life.
KRYSTA
We will out here.
DION
We got to find a gig.
KRYSTA
And a place to stay that's not a
hotel.
DION
Yeah that bell hop is weird.
BUTTERFLY JONES
I think we should stay in the
hotel. If anyone comes after us it
will be harder to find us around
other tourists.
DION
That's a good idea.
KRYSTA
OK, I guess so. With my calculation
we should have six weeks.
This includes $1400 a week for the
hotel and $800 for our living
expenses but knowing you all we
only have about three weeks. I am
going to find a job today. I
suggest you all do the same.
Butterfly chuckles.
BUTTERFLY JONES
I'm staying right here today.

She storms out of the store.
BUTTERFLY JONES
Did she know those had pot in it?
FYNX
She will soon.

Krysta is walking alone along the streets of Amsterdam. She
is looking at newspapers and postings on the street. Krysta's
drive is failing.
41 EXT BROWNSTONE MID DAY 41
She stops and sits on a stoop dejected. She looks up and sees
a sign in a window that says "help wanted". Krysta perks up
and adjusts her clothes, then crosses the street. As she
walks into the brownstone, a naked woman opens the curtains
and begins to pose.
42 INT BROWNSTONE MID DAY 42
A short, bald, creepy fellah in a satin robe and rose tinted
glasses is sitting at a desk, with an unlit pipe dangling out
of his mouth. As Krysta walks in, the room starts to warp.
She is feeling the effects of the space cakes setting in.
SIR FITZGERALD YATES
So I take it you are here for
employment, yes?
KRYSTA
Yes? Ah, yes I need a job.
SIR FITZGERALD YATES
Are you an experienced working
girl?
KRYSTA
Yes, I have been at it since I was
fourteen.
SIR FITZGERALD YATES
Ah, fourteen, so young, so fresh...
KRYSTA
Yeah, well I started when I was
fourteen and I have been working
ever since.
SIR FITZGERALD YATES
Really, no breaks? Are you worn
out? We'll have to check for that.
Sir Fitzgerald writes on a pad on his desk.
KRYSTA
Never, I don't feel right when I am
not working.
SIR FITZGERALD YATES
Do you have any specialties?
KRYSTA
Well, I am very assertive and great
at delegating responsibilities.
SIR FITZGERALD YATES
Oh a Dom. How nice. I hate those
wispy lettuce eating women...with
their big head and skinny bodies
and dumb twat. You don't seem like
any of those women.
KRYSTA
Oh,I guess not.
SIR FITZGERALD YATES
How soon can you get started?
KRYSTA
Right now if you want me?
SIR FITZGERALD YATES
Oh yes I want you. Lets get
started.
KRYSTA
Great!
Sir Fitzgerald walks around the desk.
SIR FITZGERALD YATES
I like to personally train all new
applicants before you are able to
work with clients.
Krysta looks up and notices the decor in the office is very
provocative. When she looks back at Sir Fitzgerald he is
completely naked in front of a very high Krysta.
KRYSTA
Oh my god. Uh, I got go.
SIR FITZGERALD YATES
Oh my god. I didn't even touch you
yet.
KRYSTA
Oh my god I'm so sorry.
SIR FITZGERALD YATES
Good so let's get back to work.
Krysta backs out of the office.
43 EXT. AMSTERDAM STREETS MID DAY 43

FYNX
Nah, not really.
DION
Yah, really.
FYNX
I guess I'm just feeling out of
place.
DION
It's gonna take awhile for us all
to get comfortable out here.
FYNX
I know I mean with all of you. I
feel out of place with you guys.
DION
You shouldn't feel weird with us.
What's going on?
FYNX
That's just it I shouldn't but I
do. I feel like when I was younger
it was cool for you guys to take
care of me. I needed it. But I am
twenty six now. I want to be a
bigger part of this company. I want
you all to listen to me more.
From over Fynx's shoulder, Dion sees Victoria and Tiffani.
VICTORIA
I can't believe these fucking
musicians! I fucking hate
musicians! I hate them!
TIFFANI
Don't worry we will figure
something out Vicky.
DION
Hold on Fynx. You know what, let me
hook up with you at the hotel.
FYNX
Wait, I...
Dion leaves Fynx and heads toward Victoria. Fynx looks at him
leave and turns around hurt by Dion's actions. She watches
him for a moment then walks off.
DION
Hey didn't I meet you in Brooklyn?
TIFFANI
You know you did. You and your
druggy friend. This isn't the time
stoner.
DION
I was talking to your friend but
thank you for that demeaning
welcome.
TIFFANI
Keep walking.
DION
Are you kidding me with this? Who
are you?
VICTORIA
This is Tiffani. Relax Tiffany.
It's OK. She's my assistant and yes
we did meet. How are you?
DION
I'm fine and you?
VICTORIA
Well I am pretty busy but I can't

She's right actually... I am bit
busy right now.
DION

Tiffani gears Victoria walking again. Dion walks with them.
VICTORIA
Well...if you are really interested
we are looking for an act for
Friday night.
DION
Act! Are you kidding me? That's
what I do!
TIFFANI
You are a musician!
DION
No, no, no, I produce concerts and
events with musicians. You can't
trust musicians.
VICTORIA
You can't trust promoters.
TIFFANI
Especially those that follow us
across the Atlantic.
VICTORIA
What kind of musicians?
DION
Anything you need.
TIFFANI
You don't really believe this guy?
DION
You know Cypher music in Brooklyn?
VICTORIA
Yeah I just saw them at South Paw.
The cops busted up a great show.
That was you?
Dion looks at the camera with a smile.
DION
Yeah that was me, I spent a night
in jail for that show.
VICTORIA
Well... we enjoyed the show. There
goes the man trying to keep a
brother down, hee hee.
DION
Funny lady, what would you say if I
said I could get them here by
Friday.
VICTORIA
You get me Saga and those guys and
I got money and a venue for you on
Friday night.
TIFFANI
Victoria!
VICTORIA
We got a deal?
DION
Yes, we have a deal. Now can we
have dinner?
VICTORIA
No, I still have plans but if you
come through Friday maybe we can
talk.
DION
You just concentrate on the dress
and a restaurant.
VICTORIA
Tiffany give ...Oh what's your
name?
DION
Dion...Dion Nice.
TIFFANI
Are you? Are you really?
VICTORIA
Give our friend Dion Nice a card
please.
TIFFANI
Fine.
She gives him a card and they leave. Dion pauses and watches
her leave. When they turn the corner he turns around in
search of a pay phone.

Dion hangs up and dials the long number code again and again
messes it up and has to start again. Again a busy signal.
Dion keeps calling and calling.

notice.

turn and runs into a row of garbage cans.
Albert turns to see what the noise was and walks right into a
troop of bicyclists who run him and Rosco over causing a pile
up.
Fynx runs. The commotion woke up Butterfly who is now staring

What?
BUTTERFLY JONES
Well I'm just saying.
KRYSTA
Nothing your saying nothing you

They notice that there is one pill left.
FYNX

of here right now.
KRYSTA
Of course he is and he better
hurry.
FYNX
Yeah, Your right. He's fine.
KRYSTA

KRYSTA
Don't talk like that Fly. We're
gonna be OK.
BUTTERFLY JONES
Yeah I know. But if we're not and
they get us, I might say some
things. I'd rather say them now.

Fynx.
KRYSTA
Where's Fynx?
BUTTERFLY JONES
Maybe under the bed.
KRYSTA
Fynx.
BUTTERFLY JONES
Are you hiding.
Butterfly looks under the bed. While Krysta goes to the
window.
KRYSTA (TRYING TO WHISPER)
Fynx...come back.
Butterfly runs over to see Fynx climbing down the side of the
building.
BUTTERFLY JONES
She can do it.
KRYSTA
What! Are you crazy?
BUTTERFLY JONES
She used to be a graffiti artist. I
bet she makes it.
KRYSTA
That's terrible. What do you bet?

BUTTERFLY JONES
Well no more.
55 EXT MANOFA HOTEL NIGHT 55
FYNX is scaling the walls carrying her knapsack and wearing
earphones. She is listening to Hip-hop and moving to the
beat. Slowly and painstakingly she makes her way down.
Holding on to anything she can.
She makes it to the third floor and looks into a window. She
see's Fitzgerald Yates in a room with plastic on the floor.
He is Standing in black socks naked shaving himself. He looks
over and sees Fynx. Then turns and walks to her.
Fynx's grip loosens. She slips past his window and skids for
about five feet before she stops herself.
FYNX
Woo. That was close.
She zones back into the music and makes her way down and runs
down the block in search of Dion.
BUTTERFLY JONES
She made it.
KRYSTA
I can't believe I wish she fell.
BUTTERFLY JONES
You know with out all the running
and hiding and death threats...this
would be romantic.
KRYSTA
Yeah It kinda would be.
Krysta and Butterfly slowly inch closer together.
KRYSTA
It has been awhile.
They move closer.
KRYSTA
I guess you are getting kinda
better.
Their lips are about to touch.
KRYSTA
We probably are going to die
tonight...what the fuck.
Krysta and Butterfly begin to kiss when a knock on the door
is heard. The two pause mid kiss and only move their eyes
toward the door. They look at each other and stay still and
quiet with their lips locked.
Another knock is at the door. Krysta and Butterfly hold each
others hands on the balcony. They stare at each other waiting
for the door to be knocked in.
The door knocks for a third time and Krysta lets out one
tear. Butterfly raises their hands to her face and with his
finger wipes her tear away.
KRYSTA
I still love you fly.
BUTTERFLY JONES
I love you too Krys.
OLAF
Does anyone wants a wake up calls.
Last chances.
The two exhale and separate.
BUTTERFLY JONES
Oh my god.

move from the balcony to the bed. Krysta and Butterfly roll
around the bed until they fall off and continue on the floor.

58 AMSTERDAM STREET NIGHT 58
FYNX is sneaking around the streets of Amsterdam looking for
Dion. She is also starting to trip. Her jaw is grinding and
her eyes are fluttering.
The street is looking stretched and altered. Fynx is sweating
but keeps trying to look for Dion.
FYNX
Fuck, this is strong.
Fynx stops to compose herself then begins walking again. She
turns a corner and runs right into Sally Dogs chest. She
looks up at his skewed face, notices Rosco and then Albert.
FYNX
Ahhh!
She runs away from them. The others chase after her.
FYNX
Help!
Sally stops running when Fynx starts to scream.
ALBERT
You see how... see how they run.
She knows somethings up.

ALBERT
Exactly Rosco. We got to add a
little class to this.

Tiffany goes to the bathroom and Dion takes Victoria's hand,

two go running through the streets and hop on a trolly.
VICTORIA
Where are we going?
DION
I have no idea.
60 INT. STRIP CLUB NIGHT 60
Albert and Rosco are typical loud Americans in Europe. They
are throwing around money and making asses of themselves.
Rosco is talking to a large Swedish woman with very large
breasts, who has him mesmerized.
A woman brings Albert another drink. He pays her and slaps
her on the ass. The bouncers look over.
ALBERT
What? Fuck you! You know who I am?
Sally Dogs is sitting with Victor and Diego Rivera, watching
Albert make a fool of himself.
Albert gets up and walks over to the poles and starts
throwing bunches of money at the woman rudely. Dollar bills
rain on the head of a woman sitting with her boyfriend.
The boyfriend throws the money back at Albert who throws his
drink on the couple.
Rosco notices the commotion and runs over and pushes the guy.
Four of the Boyfriends' friends stand up and grab Albert and
Rosco. They drag them down the stage.
Sally Dogs, Victor and Diego Rivera walk toward the commotion
as the friends throw Albert and Rosco on to the floor.
Sally Dogs, Victor and Diego look at the tourists. The group
freezes.
Sally looks over the people involved. The bouncers escort the
tourists to the door. Sally walks over to the wet lady. He
hands a hundred to the wet boy friend.
SALLY DOGS
Enjoy your nights.
Sally looks at Albert disapprovingly.
VICTOR RIVERA
Some entourage Sally.
DIEGO RIVERA
Wow, things must be rough back
home.
VICTOR RIVERA
Don't give him shit, you know
Albert's always been pretty slow.
Remember he almost died in
Elephants piss.
SALLY DOGS

assholes.
Sally grabs Albert and Rosco by the scruffs.
SALLY DOGS
Get back to the room. I am going to
enjoy my night with my friends.
ALBERT
But...
SALLY DOGS
Shut your mouth and get back to the
fucking room.
Albert and Rosco hang their heads and walk out. As soon as
they step on the pavement they are run over by the tour of
bicyclers.
61 EXT. STRIP CLUB NIGHT 61
Rosco and Albert are outside the club next to a group of
seven little people.
ALBERT
Dun, dun, dun, dun, midget sighting

ALBERT

Suddenly Little Man 1 jumps on Alberts' neck and bites his
ear.
ALBERT
Ahhhhhh! Get him off.
Rosco tries to help but looks down and sees two little people
on his legs.
ROSCO
No! Get off me!
Rosco starts kicking his legs wildly.
ALBERT
Get them off me.
The other four little people jumped Albert and are beating
him down.
Rosco is on the floor, with his legs up in the air trying to
kick off the little people.
ROSCO
Let go! Evil demons! Please I left
my candy in the corner today! I
promise go look. I left it in the
corner! Don't steal my knees.
Please, not my knees!
Rosco loosens one leg, sending a little person flying on to
Albert. Now six little people are stomping Albert in unison
as they walk around him singing.
LITTLE MAN 1
OH, WEE, OH, Mutherfucker!
Rosco takes off running with a little person hanging off.
62 INT. TROLLY CAR NIGHT 62
Dion and Victoria ride the trolly around the city. Victoria
smiles and moves a piece of hair from her face. Laughing to
each other and enjoying each others company.
VICTORIA
I can't believe you just showed up
and saved us.
DION
I'm telling you, it's fate.
VICTORIA
Yeah, you say. You always know what
to say.
DION
I just say what I am thinking at
the moment and sometimes it's the
right thing.
They get off the bus and sit at a bench in front of a hotel.
DION
Why are we getting off here?
VICTORIA
I saw this bench earlier this week
and wanted to sit for a moment but
Tiffani...well you know.
DION

good at. Honestly with out her I
couldn't do any of this.
DION
Yeah, my partners are like that.
VICTORIA
Really, you never talk about them.
I thought they worked for you.
DION
I guess that's what they think too.
VICTORIA
Maybe that's what you think
sometimes.
DION
Yeah, I don't think sometimes.
They laugh.
VICTORIA
Well people like you don't really
need anyone else. You just always
know what to do and people flock to
you.
DION
I'll tell you a secret. I don't
always know what to do or say.
VICTORIA
No, you have been like an angel.
You just swoop in and make things
work. It's like you were sent to
help us.
DION
I'll do whatever I can. You are
really helping us too.
VICTORIA
No, you don't know. This place
means allot to me. My brother and I
have wanted to open this club for
five years.
DION
Is he out here too.
VICTORIA
No, he past away but don't feel
bad.
DION
I do.

No, you are helping more than you
can imagine.

Oh yeah, listen I got us a gig.
KRYSTA
Oh yeah, about that! When the fuck
are you going to treat me like a
partner. Fuck that, when will you
stop fucking promising things we
can't do! You have learned nothing!
We were stuck in this fucking hotel
room with out cigarettes or weed
for twelve hours, because you do
things with out us. I'm sick of
this shit.
DION
Krys, I got us a gig. A big one. Of
course I can't find Mike and them
but we can get them here.
KRYSTA
You don't fucking listen! I don't
care if they fucking get here or
not.
The point is this whole thing is
your fault and it's only your fault
because you want to do all this
shit yourself! If you asked me, I
probably would have agreed with
taking the money from Albert but I
would have protected us! All of us!
Who knows what Fynx could do if you
gave her a chance to come up with
something on her own. Butterfly
doesn't even try to do anything
because he has you.
DION
So they not stepping up is my
fault. If it wasn't for me you all
wouldn't have been anywhere!
KRYSTA
No Dion, we would have still been
in Brooklyn not running for our
fucking lives.
DION
Oh I see how it is.
KRYSTA
Do ya! Good!
Dion walks to the balcony. Butterfly opens the bathroom door
and Krysta slams it shut, Knocking him to the floor. Dion
throws a few things in his bag.
DION
I'm leaving. I'll call Woodrow for
Angelo's number. Everything here
will be fine. You guys can leave in
an hour. When I get back.
KRYSTA
Dion wait.
DION
Fuck that Krysta! You had your say.
Now it's my fucking turn. You guys
want to do this shit. Go ahead.
Have fun bullshitting all these
fucks that don't care about us.
Have fun making us look like
something worth anything! Have

you. Why did you say sorry before?
DION
I felt bad for not thinking about
you in this whole opening party. I
really don't think about anyone
else too often. Victoria...I never
met anyone like you. There is
something about you that makes me
want to...be real.
VICTORIA
I feel the same way. I don't really
meet anyone who doesn't just want

Dion and Krysta are standing watching the crowd.
KRYSTA
I didn't think we could do it.
DION
I know.
KRYSTA
And Albert is fine.
DION
Yup.
KRYSTA
How?
DION
I took care of...
Krysta looks at him sternly.
DION
I asked my Uncle Woodrow if he
could give me Angelo's vacation
number.
KRYSTA
Oh, Angelo must have hated that.
DION
Actually, the only thing that he is
mad about is that you left his club
for me.
KRYSTA
Awh, that is sweet.
DION
Yeah. He gave us his blessing. By
the way I give you my blessing.
KRYSTA
With what?
DION
I saw both your underwear around
the room. I know you two always
hide it from me.
KRYSTA
How'd you know?
DION
Well for one I can never find you
two before a big show. Then
Butterfly is out front with Fynx
with a shit eating grin and you
come and pound two shots of
whiskey.
Krysta blushes.
KRYSTA
So, what do you think?
DION
I don't mind. I actually am happy
about it.
KRYSTA
Really? I thought you'd be mad.
DION
Are you kidding me? Who cares?
Besides his cock shifted to the
left when he met you.
KRYSTA
What?
DION
Fly thinks that the left shift
means you've met your soulmate.
KRYSTA
Really? What if it shifted to the
right.
DION
Then she'd probably be my soul
mate.
Dion laughs then remembers that Butterfly shifted to the left
for Victoria.
DION
Hey I got to get back stage.
KRYSTA
OK. You'll be great.
DION
I know. Why wouldn't I be great?
Damn Krys now I am all nervous and
shit.
KRYSTA
You know what. I'll come with you.
DION
Cool.
Krysta adjusts his Jacket.
KRYSTA
Love ya much.
DION
Love ya much.
They go and see Victoria.
VICTORIA
This is so great. I thank you so
much.
DION
I thank you so much. Really thank
you for taking a chance on us.
VICTORIA
Thank you for taking a chance on
me.
They kiss.
DION
Let's go back stage and check on
the group.
VICTORIA
Cool. Maybe we can smoke a blunt.
Oh, do you smoke Dion?
DION
Oh I love you.
KRYSTA
I think he is telling the truth.
DION
Come on let's go.
They go down a stairwell and are met by Albert. Rosco grabs
both women. He has one in each arm by the neck.
ALBERT
Hey muthafucka.
DION
Get the fuck off them Rosco!
ALBERT
Two now huh? Isn't she Butt Fly's
girl. Always want what's someone
else's, huh Dion?
KRYSTA
Does everyone know?
DION
Yeah. Everyone knows. Al I already
heard you were here to pick up this
money. Enough with the Theatrics.
Albert smacks the money out of his hand. Dion steps closer to
Albert.
ALBERT
You think this is a fucking Joke?
You are taking a walk with us.
DION
I talked to your father. Don't be a
dick. Pick up your fucking money
and have some fun.
ALBERT
Fuck you Dion. You ain't getting
out of this. You think it's all so
fucking easy. You are coming with
us or I crack their necks then you
come with us.
DION
You touch them and I'll fucking
kill you before Rosco could get to
me. Let em go Rosco. Don't let this
dumb fuck get you whacked.
ROSCO
Boss I don't wanna get whacked.
ALBERT
Shut the fuck up!
ROSCO
OK.
ALBERT
Dion your going to have a little
accident.
ROSCO
Boss? It's Dion.
ALBERT
Shut the fuck up Rosco!
DION
Come on man. This doesn't have to
happen.
ALBERT
Yes it does.
Sally Dogs is at the top of the stairs with Victor and Diego.
SALLY DOGS
No it doesn't. It's over Albert.
ALBERT
Leave this alone Sally.
ROSCO
He's gonna whack us boss.
SALLY DOGS
Now Albert.
The door slams open and Fynx and Butterfly Bust in and hit
Albert. Albert hits his head and is knocked out.
FYNX
You wouldn't believe how many
people are here! What the fuck?
BUTTERFLY JONES
Oh no! We're dead.
DION
It's OK. You guys have great
timing.
Dion picks up the money and hands it to Sally.
DION
We OK?
Sally takes the money and puts it in Dion's jacket.
SALLY DOGS
Angelo says good luck. He's glad
you became your own man. He's says
don't worry about the record store
he will take care of everything.
DION
Come enjoy the show Sally.
SALLY DOGS
Nah, I got to take care of this.
See you soon kid.
DION
See ya soon Sally.
VICTOR RIVERA
Anything you need out here kid, let
us know.
DIEGO RIVERA

a drink.
The group passes over Albert. Dion goes towards the dressing
rooms. Sally looks down at Albert.
SALLY DOGS
Get him up Mo Mo.

The end.

Uncle Woodrow is at the counter all dressed up. The store is

helping a customer. We pull outside and see Albert sweeping
the front of the store.
