My boyfriend is coming over. I want the house in spotless condition for him. If you're good you'll be allowed eat with us. (Hands on hips in the average angry mother way) Trey: I don't want to mother. Your boyfriend is mean, I don't like him. (Pouts looking at his feet, with a frown on his face) Susan: That's it to your room mister. Don't think about coming down. All I ask are you doing one thing for me. You can't even do that. If I had something to do with it. You'd be in boarding school right now. Wishing you had me to take care of you. Just go to your room son, you've been mindless and selfish, as per usual. It's all just me, I, me with you am not it. Out of my sight now or I swear, you won't get outside for weeks. Trey: (In soliloquy) Oh yes out of her site I will be. I'll get out of here when she's laughing and eating with that son of bitch. She thinks she knows what's best for me. Well she has no idea. I will escape from her demanding grip, with a rucksack. I won't ever return to this demented shack of a place. My mother she calls it home, to me this place is more like a prison. I get fed and watered by her, that's about it. She is too preoccupied on her love life, rather than her own child. I'll make her pay for every last mean thing she has portrayed upon me. She'll understand, that I Trey Hope. Am no longer known by that second name. That I become Trey, lonely by name I am. Lonely by nature I will be. (Exit Trey Balcony Window) Fade Out
Act I Scene 2 (Enter Bruce and Corey through Main Mall door, Stage Right) Bruce: That's a hard question Corey. You must have some intellect to have that upon your mind. Prey have you seen the time man. Aren't you in work soon? I mean, this conversation has been most enjoyable; just I'd rather you not lose a job over it. NARRATOR: Oh yes Corey. He's face is enough to make the ladies look away, well with Bruce beside this man. I would dare even say that about my dashing self. Corey: (Checks his watch, in right pocket) Yeah I do love our chats Baucus, mainly because of your sniffing good sense of humor, right so, I'll be out at 6 where are you going to go? NARRATOR: Not all that Corey wants to sniff, with Bruce around its hard not to be dirty minded. Even with massive amounts of intellect. Bruce: (Looks left and then right then back to Corey, and Smiles) I'd like to browse the shops for some things. Need to keep this fur looking good. Besides might go see a film or something. My first time out since the accident really. My leg's still acting up a bit, could really do with a good old movie. Or just a brisk walk would be entertaining. I'll decide after I go browsing. I'll see you later Corey. And don't call me Brutus, sounds all but to formal for even my standards. Quite frankly, you're the only one who actually calls me by that name... Where did I get that again...? The army? NARRATOR: The army something Bruce brings up much too often now days. Corey: (Resisting looking at watch again) Beats me Brute, anyway good look in your browsing. (Exit Corey Back Door Stage Left) NARRATOR: As per usual, he's out of their in no time at all. Really a great guy. (Enter Trey, sobbing and sniffling, from Stage Right) NARRATOR: The now named Trey has clearly made an entrance. Maybe he likes attention? Bruce: (Walks toward the youngster, putting his paw on Trey's shoulder.) Excuse me little one, would you happen to know where I am? Trey: (Sniffles, nodding slightly) Yes, you're on the first floor, all lifts and stairs are that way. (Pointing off to a sign stage left, saying lifts and stairs) Bruce: Where are you off to? (Looking at him lifting his chin softly.) Trey: (Looks around lastingly.) What? Bruce: (Points to your rucksack.) You have a bag on your back, are you homeless? (Comforting the child in his arms lovingly.) Trey: (Giggles slightly in the embrace, and looks up into Bruce's eyes) Yes I am..... (Slightly sighs, and blushes, twisting his foot on the floor to add naivety and youth) NARRATOR: Bruce is at this point confused at best. A child this young, should not be alone. Or on his own. Bruce: (In Embrace) You poor thing. Well I am Bruce, little one. If you'll escort me around here today. I'll give you a place to stay. Would you like that? (Smiles softly, holding out his paw as he stands up) Trey: (Nodding wildly) Yes Mister Bruce. (Exit Bruce and Trey Stage Left) Fade Into Outside
Act I Scene 3 (Enter Trey, Bruce Stage Right, Enter Worker Stage Left) Bruce: Not a great explanation for this, but if you don't mind. I am going to smoke. (Brute whips out his cigarettes from his top hand right pocket, takes out one and taps it three times on the box before elegantly placing it his lips and searches frantically for a light, not finding one rolls eyes in stupidity, and calls to a worker smoking off stage left) Sorry sir do you have a light? Worker: Yeah I do, is that your kid. (Pointing down at trey, with a look of confusion) There you are. Trey: Yes, I am his kid Bruce: Indeed he is mine (Winking behind hand while lighting cigarette) Although he's coming to live with me Worker: You're single? (Cocks his right brow, holding his hand out for return of the lighter) Bruce: Indeed I am Sir. (Handing lighter fuming smoke in circles toward the worker) Worker: Ah, shit, look at the time, have a good day kiddo. (Pats Trey sweetly and aggressively stomps on his cigarette.) Trey: Bruce! (Pulling at the tail of the shirt firmly, as a droplet of rain plops onto his nose) Bruce: Yes little one. Trey: I think we should go; it looks like it's about to rain. Bruce: (Holds out his right paw, searching around, puffing a cloud white smoke.) You really think so? (Titling head to one side, getting on his knees to look Trey in the eyes.) If you think so little one, you've been so much help. (Leans in slips on the other butt placed by the worker kissing Trey romantically on the lips, and blushes bright) Excuse me (Coughing this behind his paw) Trey: Who said you need to be excused? (Smiles sweetly leaning into Brute kissing him once more on the lips) Black Out (Enter Narrator from the back into spot-light) Fade Into Narrator Alone NARRATOR: I'm not one to jump to conclusions here but is it just me or is Trey a bit to preamp about the kiss from the older male? Is Brute in trouble now? Now here we see Brute's reaction to the slip up to be quite polite, and manageable, so will Trey understand that Brute is...? Well just not for him, what will they think of Brute? Fade Out Act I Scene IV (Enter Susan Stage Right, Enter Narrator and Corey Stage left in light, Susan is visible, but not completely) NARRATOR: Why is it that when we have two characters falling into love all of a sudden your drawn to the two characters in the story. This my fellow audience is the sub-plot, a collision to the Main story, this plot will have you at the edge of your seat, and with so many fusions of character with the main story, where will these two end up? Corey: Ah hello Susan, I used to work in your department a while back, do you remember me? Susan: Should I not remember a messier like yourself, you turned out to be just trying to fit in with the other boys, the other boys were dragging you down the drain pipes. Corey: Yes but we all must get our hands dirty (Laughs softly behind a book he's holding) Susan: Did you happen to see my son while you were out at all Corey? Corey: (Scratches his head thinking) Sorry, I only saw Brute today; he works in the hospital across the street.
Susan: Would you be seeing him anytime today? My son has ran away before, and he usually heads for the mall. But it's not like my son to actually vanish. Corey: Oh he's at that age is he? (Going into a nostalgic look to the heavens) Susan: He's 10! (Pokes his shirt repeating) Please find him. (Kneels, hands in prayer position and looking up right at the shadowed face of Corey) Corey: A bit young to rebel (He thinks to himself) Ah you must abide by your name, I have hope, but your last name is Hope, and you're giving up. (Snickers quietly behind the book again) NARRATOR: Corey is a kind hearten creature, so unfortunate he's a two faced evil genius at times... Well genius might be a stretch for Corey, he's lucky...let's say. Fade Out
Notes For Film Will point at the backdrop to a faded grey building, with some masts and a lot of cars outside it. The camera will do two takes of one of a mid follow shot to the hospital, one of a close up where Corey will be out of focus but his finger in focus, the whole background will be out of focus, this will become more evident in the later part of the scene. Two camera shots will do a clip of a hospital, and the follow of the finger to the backdrop drawing of the hospital, this will give a sense of direction for the word "Across" is important. Line this note follows on "Susan: Would you be seeing him anytime today? My son has run away before, and he usually heads for the mall. But it's not like my son to actually vanish." At this point the stage would be harshly lit to represent the overall indecent approach Mr Fitzsimons has towards smoking in front of the youngster, the background would be out of focus and the foreground around brute would encircle his whole face to simple's perception. Line this note follows on. Bruce: Not a great explanation for this, but if you don't mind. I am going to smoke. (Brute whips out his cigarettes from his top hand right pocket, takes out one and taps it three times on the box before elegantly placing it his lips and searches frantically for a light, not finding one rolls eyes in stupidity, and calls to a worker smoking off stage left) Sorry sir do you have a light?
The camera at this point would flick over to the sign. Back to Trey, still pointing. Back to the sign, and then back to Brute, face palming himself. In utter frustration of how stupid he is Line this note follows on. Trey: (Sniffles, nodding slightly) Yes, you're on the first floor, all lifts and stairs are that way. (Pointing off to a sign stage left, saying lifts and stairs)
