- 3:55Speaker 2: chrome zippo from a drawer. He tears the note from
- 3:58Speaker 2: the notebook. The top spirals a trench of torn edges.
- 4:02Speaker 2: Only half the pages remain. P returns everything to the
- 4:05Speaker 2: drawer except the zippo. He lights the page on fire,
- 4:09Speaker 2: drops it in the sink. Pe leaves the bathroom as
- 4:12Speaker 2: the flames ash up the page, eating backwards into the
- 4:15Speaker 2: words starting with all you love, I Sorry, I'm Interior

- 4:53Speaker 2: On the desk model Dolorian yellow sports Discman CDs. There's
- 4:58Speaker 2: a photocopy flyer that reads pond Hill Homecoming ninety four
- 5:02Speaker 2: middle school dance. Pe picks it up and sits on
- 5:05Speaker 2: the bed. He looks to the desk a framed recent
- 5:09Speaker 2: photo of P with a half Japanese boy the same
- 5:12Speaker 2: age in front. Behind it, Pe pulls out a second
- 5:15Speaker 2: framed photo Pe younger and a girl at a water park.
- 5:20Speaker 2: In the photo, PA's eyes are red as if he's
- 5:22Speaker 2: been crying, but he smiles joyously. The girl's mouth is
- 5:26Speaker 2: open in a huge laugh, her arm protectively around p.
- 5:30Speaker 2: Pee gazes at the picture and smiles. He looks to
- 5:33Speaker 2: the dance poster in his other hand, face growing complicated.
- 5:37Speaker 2: When beep beep, the smoke detector wails. Pe runs to
- 5:43Speaker 2: the bathroom, replacing the photo haphazardly. The pictures topple face down,
- 5:48Speaker 2: the second on top of the first interior Pea's kitchen.
- 5:52Speaker 2: Short time later, p enters his dad forty five, removes
- 5:57Speaker 2: a large crape from the stove and lays it alongside another.
- 6:00Speaker 2: They're on the center island. Nearby seared beef, tenderloin, mushroom,
- 6:04Speaker 2: duck cells, pete de fois gras, puff pastry, perscudo di
- 6:08Speaker 2: parma tutsie on the thirty two inch CRTTV. Dad scrunches
- 6:13Speaker 2: his nose.
- 6:15Speaker 6: Do you fall into a vaticlone?
- 6:17Speaker 2: P flushes He sniffs the air. Dad lays perscudo in
- 6:21Speaker 2: a tight, even pattern across the crapes.
- 6:23Speaker 6: Your mom reminded me of today's significance. Pick a place
- 6:28Speaker 6: anywhere you want except sushi.
- 6:30Speaker 2: Great, that's not dinner. Dad laughs as he layers duck
- 6:34Speaker 2: cells onto the ham.
- 6:37Speaker 6: I think not. One of the our nurses, Christine, is
- 6:40Speaker 6: getting married. She loved the cake I did for our
- 6:43Speaker 6: surgical tech. Been studying for the test.
- 6:46Speaker 1: Yeah.

- 7:04Speaker 6: the girl so good on him. I guess some like
- 7:07Speaker 6: it hot too, Jack lemon and makeup. Ghastly.
- 7:10Speaker 2: Dad moves the tender loin on top of the patae,
- 7:13Speaker 2: then delicately encases the beef in the layered crep. He
- 7:16Speaker 2: pulls over a baking sheet with a layer of raw
- 7:19Speaker 2: puff pastry. Seems like a lot of work for steak.
- 7:22Speaker 2: Dad looks at Pea like he's a fucking idiot.
- 7:25Speaker 6: A welling tin is a body, an ecosystem. Tender loin
- 7:30Speaker 6: is tender, but there's no fat, no flavor. You have
- 7:33Speaker 6: to put flavor around it for it to come alive. First,
- 7:37Speaker 6: what do we have under our skin and muscles organs?
- 7:40Speaker 1: Thus he looks.
- 7:42Speaker 2: At Pea expectantly. Pea stares back blankly. Dad's size.
- 7:47Speaker 6: Thus, pote de foi gras rich, creamy, earthy, Then duct cells, mushrooms,
- 7:54Speaker 6: more earthiness. Then the parmahan salty, fatty than the crepe.
- 8:00Speaker 6: You need to contain the juices, the essence of the
- 8:02Speaker 6: beef trap it so the outside the puff isn't tainted.
- 8:07Speaker 2: The result, Dad points proudly to the lower oven. The
- 8:11Speaker 2: light is on a golden Wellington with exquisite lattice.
- 8:14Speaker 6: Baking is a show stopper. Look at that glorious little
- 8:18Speaker 6: football and the tenderloin the heart is perfectly isolated and protected.
- 8:24Speaker 2: Pass me another pe gets a doctor pepper and a
- 8:26Speaker 2: raw tenderloin wrapped tightly in plastic wrap from the fridge.
- 8:30Speaker 4: Holy crap, there's like fifteen more tender loins in here.

- 8:49Speaker 2: Mom forty eight, healthy but thin, enters with a wrapped present.
- 8:53Speaker 2: Happy birthday in Japanese. Tonight, not this here. Mom looks
- 8:57Speaker 2: at Dad, pleased but curious.
- 9:00Speaker 6: You don't get full of sushi a dance?
- 9:03Speaker 8: Huh?

- 9:45Speaker 2: a black, entombed band T shirt and tombed sweet Peace,
- 9:49Speaker 2: starts pulling it over his shirt. Mom shoots a good
- 9:52Speaker 2: natured you kidding me? Look, Pee glances at Dad, focused
- 9:56Speaker 2: on cooking. He rips off his old shirt and pulls
- 9:58Speaker 2: the new one on, hastily cripple Beanie in place. Dad
- 10:01Speaker 2: glances up.
- 10:03Speaker 6: I thought you were gonna get diet doctor Pepper.
- 10:06Speaker 2: He rapidly tugs down his shirt to hide his body
- 10:08Speaker 2: as Dad unwraps the tenderloin, places the beef in the pan.
- 10:11Speaker 2: It sizzles. He removes the other Wellington from the oven.
- 10:15Speaker 2: Perfect gorgeous that a tester. Dad smiles, mischievously slices it.
- 10:21Speaker 2: Proudly pushes the slice to see the beef is medium,
- 10:25Speaker 2: a healthy uniform pink. His face contorts and rage.
- 10:29Speaker 1: Piece of shit. Oven calibration's drifted again. I should have
- 10:32Speaker 1: gone with Viking.
- 10:33Speaker 6: I fucking knew the shit looks nice, but inside it's rubbish.

- 14:05Speaker 2: glares at Pea, as does Dizzy thirteen half Vietnamese, half dorky,

- 19:13Speaker 2: bass groove Peace not impressed, but tries to find a
- 19:16Speaker 2: way in. He plays a complex thrashy riff.
- 19:19Speaker 3: And.
- 19:21Speaker 1: Heyn too much.
- 19:26Speaker 2: keV restarts. He plays a less complex death metal riffree.
- 19:30Speaker 11: Far no only no mirror mere size.
- 19:40Speaker 2: But mirrors Kev's groove close enough.
- 19:46Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what people want. You hear that band Corn?
- 19:49Speaker 3: Yet they rock?
- 19:51Speaker 4: What about Pantera, Carcass, Machine Head, Dream Theater even you.
- 19:56Speaker 3: Can't play Dream Theater. Divine Intervention came out last month.
- 20:00Speaker 3: Know how many times I've heard it on the radio?
- 20:02Speaker 1: I haven't. And that Slayer, the Buried fucking Slayer. Know
- 20:07Speaker 1: how many times I've heard Blind by Corn yesterday?
- 20:10Speaker 2: Fuck radio?
- 20:11Speaker 4: Shadow King needs to make epic shit that changes people's lives. Dizzy,
- 20:15Speaker 4: you don't want to sell out, but.
- 20:16Speaker 5: I'd like to sell. I'm with keV.
- 20:18Speaker 2: P looks guiltily at keV, who smirks. Pea concedes. He
- 20:22Speaker 2: plays the simple riff. keV joins on bass. Dizzy plays
- 20:28Speaker 2: a very simple beat. PA's I's focus on his cable jack.
- 20:36Speaker 2: The metal sleeve distorts peas reflection. The tubular jack resembles
- 20:40Speaker 2: the bontet Dizzey's mom, Missus D, makes in Dizzy's kitchen.
- 20:44Speaker 2: A short time later, missus D puts the bontet in
- 20:47Speaker 2: a tupperware with a few others. The wrapped tied green
- 20:50Speaker 2: banana leaves are uniform. She spreads a banana leaf on
- 20:54Speaker 2: the counter, adds rice, large containers of food nearby, homemade
- 20:58Speaker 2: mac and cheese, Spanish grilled chicken, drumsticks, salad. P and
- 21:03Speaker 2: keV walked to the CD player. Costumes like makeup and stuff.
- 21:08Speaker 1: We need an image cool if we.
- 21:10Speaker 2: Play some tunes.
- 21:10Speaker 9: Missus D okay, but no girl, Missus D imitates death
- 21:17Speaker 9: metal growls, pee lab, keV hands mccorn CD while I
- 21:22Speaker 9: fucking the bontet.
- 21:23Speaker 1: Research are those of the things we have for Lunar New Year?
- 21:26Speaker 1: Missus D.
- 21:27Speaker 2: Missus D nods bantete. Image isn't music? Man? I don't
- 21:32Speaker 2: want to be kiss?
- 21:33Speaker 3: Which track seven Kisses? Problem is they took the makeup off.
- 21:37Speaker 3: If they hadn't, no one would have known what they
- 21:39Speaker 3: really looked like.
- 21:40Speaker 1: Problem solved.
- 21:41Speaker 9: Kiss's problem is that they suck bagpipes, play dizzy enters.
- 21:45Speaker 2: Missus D adds among beans.
- 21:47Speaker 5: What's this gay shit in it?
- 21:49Speaker 1: My bad fellas?
- 21:51Speaker 10: What's his gay crap?
- 21:53Speaker 2: Thank you? P Hans dizzy the CD case. keV stares
- 21:57Speaker 2: as Missus D lays pork belly onto the beans. Dizzy's
- 22:00Speaker 2: eyes almost leave his head looking at the cdks.
- 22:03Speaker 10: WHOA, there's a track called faggot play that next.
- 22:07Speaker 3: Every band does T shirts and jeans Now no one
- 22:09Speaker 3: has a look.
- 22:11Speaker 7: I like this bagpipes better than piece music.
- 22:15Speaker 10: Mayhem and some of the black metal bands wear corpse
- 22:17Speaker 10: pet see not makeup corpse paint.
- 22:20Speaker 3: It conjures something. Image is a huge part of music.
- 22:23Speaker 3: It says stuff.
- 22:24Speaker 2: I want the music to say stuff. Dizzy eyes a
- 22:27Speaker 2: tupperware of spring rolls. Only green vegetables are visible through
- 22:31Speaker 2: the translucent wrapper.
- 22:33Speaker 7: No shrimp in the middle protects beta. Is there for
- 22:37Speaker 7: Uncle Chris.
- 22:37Speaker 10: To bite better when they're on top of the other stuff?
- 22:41Speaker 1: Taste them first.
- 22:42Speaker 2: Missus D raps and ties the bontet.
- 22:45Speaker 3: A band shouldn't look like chess club and a band's
- 22:48Speaker 3: a music shouldn't sound like checkers.
- 22:51Speaker 2: Missus D assembles a new bontet. Dizzy reaches toward the
- 22:54Speaker 2: mound of them in the tupperware. Missus D slaps his
- 22:57Speaker 2: hand away.
- 22:58Speaker 7: Hey, is that for Uncle Kreg?
- 23:00Speaker 2: All the other foot is for you?
- 23:02Speaker 10: How does he need bontet?
- 23:03Speaker 2: In October?
- 23:05Speaker 7: He doesn't have much time.
- 23:07Speaker 10: Maybe when I'm dying, I'll fucking get on.
- 23:09Speaker 2: Then, missus D stops silence. Dizzy's demeanor shifts. P and
- 23:14Speaker 2: keV know the drill. Pee quietly grabs three sodas from
- 23:18Speaker 2: the fridge. keV discreetly retrieves his CD. They exit to
- 23:22Speaker 2: Dizzy's room. Moments later, P shuts the door lightly. Multiple
- 23:27Speaker 2: DeLorean and Metal Band posters on the walls by the
- 23:29Speaker 2: bunk bed, Japanese Sega Genesis big nineties computer tower, thirty
- 23:34Speaker 2: two inch CRTTV, close strewn super soakers, waiting for summer.
- 23:40Speaker 2: P gives keV a coke, Classic opens a doctor pepper.
- 23:43Speaker 2: The sprite remains for Dizzy. keV grabs it instead. She's
- 23:47Speaker 2: gonna whoof his ass. keV takes the pond Tail yearbook
- 23:50Speaker 2: off the desk.
- 23:51Speaker 1: Mah, Mom's just supposed to love you. Imagine if his
- 23:54Speaker 1: dad was here.
- 23:55Speaker 2: keV flips idly through the yearbook. He stops abruptly, eyes
- 23:58Speaker 2: burning at the page.
- 24:00Speaker 1: I bet she thinks I'm so stupid.
- 24:04Speaker 2: Missus D. keV holds up the yearbook, jabs it toward P.
- 24:07Speaker 2: A large candid photo of Beck smiling, a butterfly resting
- 24:11Speaker 2: on her open palm.
- 24:13Speaker 3: Bes Man becks, I don't want your old best friend
- 24:17Speaker 3: to think your new best friend is a dumb ass loser.
- 24:19Speaker 2: Do you really care what she thinks? Do you? P hesitates,
- 24:23Speaker 2: He looks down. keV smiles ruefully at the silent confirmation,
- 24:27Speaker 2: tosses the yearbook on the bed. I bet she's jealous,
- 24:31Speaker 2: keV smiles. He pops open the sprite, SIPs quietly. He
- 24:34Speaker 2: stares at the yearbook as if he can still see
- 24:36Speaker 2: her interior Dizzy's room. Evening later, Dizzy enters with a
- 24:46Speaker 2: doctor pepper, coke and sprite.
- 24:48Speaker 10: Put your dicks away, fags, yep, obscure your penises fags.
- 24:54Speaker 2: He nods at his mom's tasts at approval, shuts the door.
- 24:58Speaker 2: keV grabs the sprite from Dizzy's hand, opens it.
- 25:01Speaker 5: Hey, Coke, we get it for you.
- 25:03Speaker 2: Kep takes a long swig. Dizzy snatches the remote, jabs it.
- 25:07Speaker 2: The movie unpauses. Ace Ventura on the TV. Pacing his bathroom,
- 25:13Speaker 2: Ace realizes that the female detective Einhorn is actually the
- 25:16Speaker 2: Miami Dolphins kicker he's been trying to locate. In Revelatory Joy,
- 25:20Speaker 2: he exclaims that Einhorn's a man, which he repeats immediately
- 25:24Speaker 2: in revulsion as the horror of their kiss dawns on him.
- 25:28Speaker 2: I love this part. Disgusted, Ace plungers his face, vomits excessively,
- 25:33Speaker 2: and acts out other phobic hijinks while the crying game
- 25:36Speaker 2: plays Pee Kevin. Dizzy laughs so hard they cry interior
- 25:43Speaker 2: Dizzy's room. Later, a knock on the door. Missus D
- 25:46Speaker 2: enters on TV. Einhorn, visibly shell shocked, stands motionless as
- 25:51Speaker 2: Ace rips off her skirt. Looks normal. Then Ace solves
- 25:55Speaker 2: the mystery. He spins Einhorn around her tucked penis outlined
- 25:59Speaker 2: in panties. He exclaims, that's why Roger pit Actor's dead.
- 26:03Speaker 2: He found Captain Winkie. The crying game plays the entire
- 26:07Speaker 2: police force dry heaves. The boys laugh hysterically.
- 26:12Speaker 7: Did she go to the bathroom in the underwear?
- 26:16Speaker 2: The boys laugh even harder. No, Missus d she used
- 26:19Speaker 2: to be a man, still is a man. So that's
- 26:21Speaker 2: her penis?
- 26:23Speaker 7: What's it doing in a butt?
- 26:26Speaker 2: keV purple faced falls over, laughing. Dizzy turns red. Missus
- 26:31Speaker 2: d waves her hand at Dizzy. He pauses the movie,
- 26:34Speaker 2: staring longingly at the sprite as keV drinks.
- 26:38Speaker 7: Going to Uncle's back tomorrow.
- 26:41Speaker 2: The boys try to hide their excitement. When do you
- 26:43Speaker 2: boys want to go.
- 26:44Speaker 7: To the desk set today? Philip's been talking about it
- 26:47Speaker 7: for weeks?
- 26:48Speaker 2: P and keV ey Dizzy who flushes?
- 26:51Speaker 10: Don't y'all kind of want to go?
- 26:53Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 26:53Speaker 3: Us standing around while they play poser crap like the
- 26:56Speaker 3: sign and all that she wants sounds great?
- 26:59Speaker 1: Well, hang laugh at the posers.
- 27:01Speaker 2: It could be fun, dude.
- 27:03Speaker 1: Or we can hang here more fun?
- 27:06Speaker 7: Okay, you all decide.
- 27:08Speaker 2: Missus d closes the door, pokes her head back inside.
- 27:12Speaker 7: Women men, Pennis isn't always in the front.
- 27:16Speaker 2: He bites his lip. keV slaps a hand over his mouth.
- 27:19Speaker 2: His face turns more purple. His body heaves as he
- 27:22Speaker 2: stifles a laugh. The boys stare at each other. The
- 27:25Speaker 2: front door finally closes. They irrupt and laughter. She pounds
- 27:31Speaker 2: the bed. The impact blends into the sound of Kev's
- 27:34Speaker 2: feet running towards the bathroom in Dizzy's house night. Short
- 27:38Speaker 2: time later, keV bee lines towards the bathroom. Right as
- 27:41Speaker 2: keV gets to the door, Dizzey sprints past locks it.
- 27:45Speaker 2: keV bangs on the door.
- 27:46Speaker 1: Dude, I only have one pair of underwear.
- 27:49Speaker 4: He brought one pair of underwear for a three night sleepover.
- 27:52Speaker 12: Yellow waterfalls, yellow water balls, yellow waterfalls, rushing streams of heat.
- 27:58Speaker 2: You're in, You're in, You're it uses parents' bathroom. keV
- 28:02Speaker 2: looks at the closed door of the far bathroom. He
- 28:05Speaker 2: bangs on the door in front of him again, Oh amazing,
- 28:07Speaker 2: how much piss I have left?
- 28:09Speaker 10: It might never and.
- 28:10Speaker 2: I'll say it was my ideas.
- 28:12Speaker 1: Got a death quish, dude.
- 28:13Speaker 2: keV runs into Dizzy's parents' bathroom. Interior Dizzy's kitchen. Moments later,
- 28:19Speaker 2: the fridge door opens. Pea grabs at doctor Pepper. He
- 28:22Speaker 2: leans against the fridge, stares at the back wall. It's
- 28:25Speaker 2: only a door in glass panes, effectively a big window.
- 28:29Speaker 2: The patio is unlit, but the small pool faintly glows.
- 28:32Speaker 2: The kitchen light transforms the glass into a semi transparent mirror,
- 28:36Speaker 2: both inside and outside visible. He stares at his lackluster reflection.
- 28:41Speaker 2: He mutters to.
- 28:42Speaker 4: Himself, Siff Becks would go to the dance with you anyway.
- 28:46Speaker 2: He raises his sleeve, flexes no definition other arm, you
- 28:50Speaker 2: look like Arnold's gay pool boy. Pe pulls a sleeve
- 28:53Speaker 2: down shirt tat. Dizzy enters, smiling. Where's keV the other bathroom?
- 28:58Speaker 2: Dizzy's lips curl.
- 29:00Speaker 10: Oh with you fuckers know to stay out. My bathroom's
- 29:02Speaker 10: for guests public. The other is private, off limits?
- 29:06Speaker 4: Who are there dark secrets in there?
- 29:08Speaker 2: He was gonna piss his pants.
- 29:10Speaker 1: He beat ants, full on, vogued.
- 29:12Speaker 2: Dizzy laughs, looks out the large back window.
- 29:17Speaker 5: Give me any coke, but coke.
- 29:19Speaker 10: Imagine how freaky would be if some dude appeared outside
- 29:22Speaker 10: right now?
- 29:22Speaker 2: Petaz is a sprite. He examines his reflection in the glass.
- 29:26Speaker 4: Tierra like forty four tough Man's man used to play football.
- 29:32Speaker 2: A faint image appears outside the glass, intensifying.
- 29:36Speaker 4: Long hair, but it's thinning. I'm not sure if he'll
- 29:39Speaker 4: ever go fully bald, but you can see the skin
- 29:41Speaker 4: through the hair. Pathetic, clean shaven, but his face is
- 29:45Speaker 4: that gray beard. Shit, it's ugly, God, he's ugly.
- 29:49Speaker 2: As if in slow motion, the man shakes his arm,
- 29:52Speaker 2: extending and curling his fingers. It's rough, staccato compared to Pe.
- 29:56Speaker 2: The image briefly overlays PA's reflection as it slowly shifts
- 30:01Speaker 2: back to the inside part of the glass, then disappears.
- 30:04Speaker 2: He adjusts his purple beanie, then eyes as doctor Pepper
- 30:08Speaker 2: your mom ever buy diet? Dizzy crunches his empty can
- 30:10Speaker 2: against the counter. He opens an outstretched hand to pee.
- 30:14Speaker 10: I meant like some deranged homo pervert who breaking and
- 30:17Speaker 10: buck fuck you and keV.
- 30:18Speaker 2: P Han's Dizzy a fresh sprite.
- 30:20Speaker 4: Well, I'd make sure you got butt fucked first and last.
- 30:23Speaker 2: Bit, ass Pee and Dizzy scream. Dizzy's unopen sprite falls,
- 30:28Speaker 2: exploding against the floor. keV saunters in, loose and relaxed.
- 30:32Speaker 2: A fountain of sprites sprang next to him. keV flicks
- 30:35Speaker 2: a little off.
- 30:35Speaker 1: His hand, So who's getting butt fucked?
- 30:37Speaker 2: Exterior driveway. Short time later, the basketball bounces against the concrete.
- 30:42Speaker 2: The boys play tips on the adjustable full size hoop.
- 30:45Speaker 2: Pe dribbles. Only Pte wears a shirt. Kevin Dizzy's Tea's
- 30:49Speaker 2: lie in a pile peace flannel is tied around his waist.
- 30:52Speaker 2: Purple Beanie a bit sweaty.
- 30:54Speaker 1: I'd still fuck her, gross dude, Einhorn doesn't have.
- 30:58Speaker 3: Some bitch tied up in a well, her cock wouldn't
- 31:01Speaker 3: bother you. I said, I'd fuck her, not marry her.
- 31:04Speaker 3: Can you imagine dating a purves like that? I want
- 31:06Speaker 3: to freak in bed, not a freak went word at
- 31:08Speaker 3: the store.
- 31:08Speaker 2: I'd rather kill myself cares.
- 31:11Speaker 10: If no one knows you're gonna be gang, you should
- 31:13Speaker 10: be a fucking man about it.
- 31:14Speaker 4: I'd kill myself and then I'd have the most epic
- 31:17Speaker 4: funeral mix CD from Whom with bellt holes played out
- 31:20Speaker 4: marsh funambra sick track, but not as sick as my handle.
- 31:25Speaker 2: P drives left side steps keV, then twists fast dizzy.
- 31:28Speaker 2: The ball kisses the backward, bounces off the rim. It misses.
- 31:32Speaker 2: keV leaps forward airborne. He tips the falling ball up
- 31:35Speaker 2: toward the basket. Bounce, bounce, bounce. It drops in.
- 31:39Speaker 3: Back to eleven bro No one rock at a funeral
- 31:42Speaker 3: cemetery gates.
- 31:44Speaker 2: Yes, Pantera is my shit. Pantera's I'm Broken shatters the night.
- 31:49Speaker 2: The boys turn their collective head and unison. A DeLorean
- 31:52Speaker 2: sleek and Silver turns onto the street. The windows are down,
- 31:56Speaker 2: the engine rumbles, A woman forty two drives. The muscular
- 32:00Speaker 2: guitar's defiant bluesy metal groove provides the perfect foundation as
- 32:04Speaker 2: The singer screams the song's chorus, I'm broken inherit my life,
- 32:09Speaker 2: God damn wait. Pea sprints towards the car. He's at
- 32:13Speaker 2: the end of the driveway. A car isn't going to stop.
- 32:16Speaker 1: You're gonna get killed.
- 32:18Speaker 2: P launches forward in front of the car. Purple Beanie flying.
- 32:21Speaker 2: Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit, it's not stopping. It's
- 32:24Speaker 2: not stopped. Scree the break squeal. The car stops just
- 32:29Speaker 2: enough to be safe, but definitely enough to be dangerous.
- 32:33Speaker 1: Good thing we settled.
- 32:34Speaker 2: The Funeral mixtape, The Purple Beanies on the Street, Pee
- 32:38Speaker 2: Tug's shirt tat his ponytail, briefly visible. Pee and the
- 32:42Speaker 2: woman at a standstill. She's sitting back, bathed largely in shadow.
- 32:47Speaker 2: Slivers of light illuminate her half smile. I'm p that's
- 32:51Speaker 2: Dizzy and keV.
- 32:52Speaker 4: I've We've never been this close to a Dolian.
- 32:55Speaker 2: Dizzy ambles slowly, entranced.
- 32:58Speaker 1: Can I touch it? Dolorian?
- 33:01Speaker 12: Miss World?
- 33:03Speaker 2: Go ahead, miss World leans forward, dark hair a similar
- 33:07Speaker 2: color to Peas flannel, middrift tank, yellow scarf around her neck.
- 33:13Speaker 2: Dizzy runs his hands over the car as if it's magic.
- 33:16Speaker 2: Flux capacitor hiding in there.
- 33:18Speaker 12: Missworld chuckles, sure is, but who knows if it works.
- 33:22Speaker 2: Take us for a ride and find out.
- 33:25Speaker 12: Nice try, but it's a bit weird for an adult
- 33:28Speaker 12: to take three teens she just met out for a ride.
- 33:31Speaker 12: Plus it's a school night. Three you do synchronize swim too.
- 33:37Speaker 2: We're a band, got a tape. It might be a
- 33:39Speaker 2: little heavy for a girl. The Dolorean rumbles to life.
- 33:43Speaker 2: Miss World puts it in gear. P steps forward, touching
- 33:46Speaker 2: his knees to the bumper. Sorry, I say stupid things sometimes, don't.
- 33:50Speaker 1: I ask him about Byrus streisand movies.
- 33:53Speaker 4: Miss World laughs, we don't have a tape. Our stuff's
- 33:57Speaker 4: a thrash groove death metal hybrid, but both Sweeten and
- 34:01Speaker 4: Florida death metal if that means anything, and some.
- 34:03Speaker 12: Corn so Megadath Slayer, maybe a Rise era Sepultra. I'm
- 34:10Speaker 12: assuming pre Black Metallica mixed with Pantera and machine Head.
- 34:15Speaker 12: And for death metal, what early Entombed and Obituary though
- 34:21Speaker 12: maybe Morbid Angel, Oh and some corn.
- 34:26Speaker 2: Pee Kevin Dizzy stare at her mouth, agape.
- 34:30Speaker 12: Girls aren't always what you'd think.
- 34:32Speaker 2: The DeLorean reverses pease chances are fading. He takes a
- 34:36Speaker 2: deep breath. He sings. keV cringes at the totally embarrassing earnestness.
- 34:42Speaker 4: Memory of summer has long passed. Crawling through the mud
- 34:45Speaker 4: and silts, the rain never washes me clean, encrusted in clay.
- 34:48Speaker 4: The seed can still flower, but the sun has forgotten
- 34:51Speaker 4: my name.
- 34:52Speaker 2: The DeLorean stops a dog howls. What's that lyrics I've
- 34:57Speaker 2: been writing? Miss World, says his Pe. He puts the
- 35:01Speaker 2: purple beanie on his head.
- 35:04Speaker 12: Not bad, might have earned a ride. We'll see your
- 35:08Speaker 12: parents around.
- 35:09Speaker 3: No.
- 35:10Speaker 2: keV smacks Dizzy's arm. That was stupid.
- 35:13Speaker 12: Will they be here Saturday night?
- 35:15Speaker 2: Well be at the dance.
- 35:17Speaker 1: No, we won't.
- 35:19Speaker 2: Miss World looks at Pee. Pe surveys his friends. We
- 35:22Speaker 2: might be keV glares at Pe. Dizzy looks at keV.
- 35:26Speaker 1: My girlfriend Karl is not in town.
- 35:28Speaker 12: You could go as it grew.
- 35:30Speaker 1: Thank you. Going without a date sucks anyone you two like.
- 35:35Speaker 2: Dizzy shakes his head. He turns walks around the car
- 35:38Speaker 2: in awe. keV goes to the basketball hoop. Miss World eyes.
- 35:42Speaker 12: P Delaurian turns into a pumpkin.
- 35:45Speaker 4: Soon.
- 35:46Speaker 2: Pe glances guiltily at keV. He shakes his arm, extending
- 35:49Speaker 2: and curling his fingers. Miss World smiles playfully looks Pea
- 35:53Speaker 2: square in the eye.
- 35:55Speaker 12: My biggest regret is the amount of regrets I have.
- 36:00Speaker 12: Dizzy couldn't see you.
- 36:02Speaker 2: P nods, taking in her words. As Dizzy steps back
- 36:05Speaker 2: from the car, Miss World smiles coyly at P you
- 36:09Speaker 2: going back. Pee and Dizzy watch her shrinking tail lights
- 36:11Speaker 2: fade into the night and Act one
