Fade In: 
INT. Lance Kanyon's bedroom- Morning
Shot: panning view of Lance's room revealing various clothes lying on the floor, a table
where various candles and a lava lamp sits, several posters of Pink Floyd, Led Zeplin,
Tom Petty, and Jimi Hendrix on the walls, a bookshelf where an assortment of unknown
books are lying.
Shot: Lance's tye-dyed Bed (gradually rising to...)
Shot: Lance's alarm clock, on a table by his bed, reading 8:59
shot: Lance, a 17 year old grunger slash punker is sleeping peacefully in his bed with the
same clothes he had on last night, blue jeans and a Pink Floyd T-shirt.  Lance is kind of
pale looking, has red hair that is shaved, and has a bit of a gotee that appears to be black. 
The covers on the bed are scattered about and most of them are on the floor.
shot: Lance's alarm clock hitting 9:00 and going off
shot: A disoriented Lance suddenly waking up with a pissed off and stunned look on his
face.
LANCE
(mumbling to himself while looking at the alarm clock)
"What the fuck?  Who the hell set this damn thing!

Shot: Lance taking wild and sloppy swings to get the alarm clock to turn off but he
doesn't even strike it.  The alarm clock finally quits on it's on.  Back to Lance...

LANCE
	"What a way to ruin another good 3 hours of sleep.(rubs his head) Something
must be happening today if I needed to set my alarm clock, or this could be some sick ass
trick that Jason set last night.  Last night, God I wish I could remember what happened. 
Well, if it's important I'll find out one way or the other.  Getting up at nine in the morning
on a summer's day should be illegal.  I'm really going to kick Jason's ass when I see him."

Shot: Lance's face as he desperately tries to go back to sleep

LANCE
"Damned Jason!  Go and screwing my day up already.  His ass is mine tonight.  Might as
well just get up now and plot that punk's last hours.  Better yet, I should call his ass and
wake him up so he can know how it feels.

Shot: Lance reluctantly getting out of his bed and going over to his phone.  He dials up
Jason 

CUT TO:
INT: Jason Taylor's Bedroom: Morning

Shot: Camera pans around Jason's room.  It is quite sloppy as clothes are every where,
books are scattered on the floor, and various other items are lying around such as beer
cans, candles, and incense burners.  The camera also passes by Jason's clock which reads
8:59
Shot: Jason Taylor, a 17 year old slacker/punker sleeping peacefully on a black bean bag
wearing blue jeans and a Billabong T-Shirt.  Jason is a bit darker than Lance, and he has
long blond hair that is down to his shoulders. He must be dreaming because he is smiling. 
Shane Parker is slouched over Jason's bed and he is wearing blue jeans and a tye-dye
shirt.  Shane is also 17 years old and the same complexion as Lance.  He has short brown
hair and a bit of a mustache.  His side burns connect to his mustache.  He also has various
scars on his face.
Shot: Jason's clock which has turned to 9:00 
Shot: Jason really enjoying his dream.
JASON
(various moans and unknown sounds)

Shot: Jason's corvette telephone which begins to ring and Jason ignores it.  Shane wakes
up and looks really dazed but goes back to sleep, face first on the bed.
  
Mrs. Taylor(off camera)
"Jason, get the damn phone!"

Shot: Jason flipping her off in his sleep before finally stumbling around and getting it.

JASON(with his eyes still closed)
"Hello, you have reached the number of  a very pissed off young man.  If you wish to
leave a message, do so when you hear the click and please don't call this fucking number
again." 
Cut To...
INT: Lance's room: Morning

Shot: Lance on the telephone, lying in his bed

LANCE
"Taylor, you sorry piece of rat crap, if you were the one that set my alarm clock to get me
up at this God-awful hour, so help me you wish you were still a gleam in your drunk
parents eyes the night of that Allman Brothers concert."
Cut To...
INT: Jason's room: Morning

Shot: Jason, with a pissed of look on his face, holding the telephone

JASON
"Kanyon, whazzup man.  First off, I didn't set your damn alarm clock, your ass must have
because last night you were pulling back some serious shit.  Second off, why the fuck are
you calling me at this god awful hour?

LANCE(From phone)
"I must have been freaking wasted cause I don't remember a dang thing about last night. 
Anything happen that I should know about or that I am going to regret?"

JASON(to Lance on the phone)
"Depends on what you would regret, but chill man, it's all good, nothing a couple of
bucks and a few lies can't cover.  

LANCE(from Phone)
"It must have been kick ass then."

JASON(to Lance on the Phone)
"Hell yeah!  Say man, I got an idea for tonight man."

LANCE(from Phone)
"I'm listening.  Half dead but listening."

JASON(to Jason on phone)
"Just sit back and mellow out for a second because I am talking a shin-dig that is going to
rock the fucking world of this meaningless little town.  Like after we cruise around the
place for a while, what do you say to a mega-party at both Rey and Larry's house.  Man,
I'm talking the whole deal: sex, drugs, and fucking rock and roll man.

LANCE(from phone)
"If Rey and Larry know about this, it's going to kick some fucking ass man.  However if
they don't, it's going to be freaking hillarious because the last time you voluntereed Rey
and Larry to through a party, I distinctly remember he not knowing a thing about it when
about 100 people showed up to his house all claiming you told them about it and then
who could forget that classic moment when Rey was chasing you around his
neighborhood with his chainsaw while Larry was taking swings at you with a baseball
bat."

JASON
"A man makes one simple mistake and he is branded for the rest of his life and besides, it
wasn't his whole neighborhood.."

LANCE(from phone)
"Whatever, it was still funny as hell.  Anyway, does Rey or Larry even know about the
party they are supposed to be throwing?"

JASON
"They will soon enough."

LANCE(from phone and sighing)
"You bestill a great amount of confidence in me Jason. I can see it now:  The Ashland
Chainsaw Massacare part II."

JASON
"That's what I'm here for, without me this hell hole of town would be as boring as CBS."

LANCE(from phone)
"I hate it when you try to be funny.  Anyway, I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll cruise over to
your house, kick your ass for waking me up so early, and then we'll cruise over to the
Heights to get Rey and Larry and see if they want to throw this little get together you said
they would and if they don't, I will be in the process of selling the Pay Per View rights for
the ass kicking they're going to give you."

JASON
"I'm cool with that man, what about Erica?"

LANCE(from phone)
"I'll catch up with her later today.  Why you ask?"

JASON
"No particular reason.  It just seemed odd that you weren't including her in our little
expedition down to the Heights."

LANCE(from phone)
"Man, where the hell have you been?  You know her parents hate the Heights.  I got to lie
my ass off every time we go out because they don't want her anywhere near that place."

JASON
"Why the fuck is this town so negative to the Heights?"

LANCE(from phone)
"It's some bible belt crap.  They don't seem to take to kindly to people smarter than they
are so they persecute them at all costs.  Please, I don't want to go off on that right now."

JASON
"Yeah, I know how you feel.  Are we blading today?"

LANCE(from phone)
"I guess so.  When we go over to get Larry and Rey, let's go blading at that new skate
park in the Heights because the pigs down here like have a magnetic attraction on us."

JASON
"Tell me about it.  When you coming over?"

LANCE
"Well since you got me up at this God-Awful hour, I guess I'll be there around 9:30.  Do
you even think Larry and Rey will be up anytime before 1:00?"

JASON
"Hell no, and if they're not, I have ways of getting them up.  I tried calling him before I
called you but he hung up on my ass.  I hope he isn't too pissed."

LANCE(from phone)
"This is going be interesting if he remembers.  But knowing Rey, his ass wouldn't
remember his own name if we didn't tell him sometimes.."

JASON
"You got that right.  See you at 9:30 man.  Before you go, I got Shane over here and he's
going to be joining us today man."

LANCE(from phone)
"Alright fool."

TRENT
"Sorry sir, my mind wondered?"

COACH DOUGLAS(yelling)
"Well there shouldn't be much up there to wonder now is there?  Just think, what happens
if your mind wonders during a game and the same results occur?  You end up a bum
living in a 2 bit apartment down in the Heights.  Now do you want that for yourself son?

Shot: Kenny Thomas, from the background, with a pissed off look towards the Coach.  

TRENT
"No sir, I don't but if you want to know what it's like, go ask Kenny before you decide to
put down where he lives."

COACH DOUGLAS
"I don't give a damn where Kenny lives!  You don't talk to me like that son and you know
it.  Do you want to blow your future?  Do you?  I think you do because all you seem to
care about it cruising with your friends and doing God knows what.  Let me get one thing
straight with you Trent, when summer comes, my job doesn't end and neither does yours. 
However, I can end yours real quick if you want me to.  Just keep it up son and you won't
have a future worth thinking about.  Do I make myself clear?"

punk ass sappy movie character."

TRENT(To Kenny)
"What the fuck, you're the one who looked pissed off when he was talking about it."

KENNY(To Trent)
"I was pissed because your sorry ass was holding up practice and you know, maybe he's
right.  I mean it's nothing but a bunch of letfover hippies, druggies, and slackers.  I can't
for the life of me figure out why my parents are still stuck in that hell hole.  What the
fuck is up with you Trent?  Did you take a niceness pill or something?

TRENT(To Kenny)
"Well no one can be a natural bad ass like yourself Kenny."

KENNY(To Trent)
"Yeah, some of us are naturally blessed I guess."

MICHAEL(To Kenny)
"Yeah, blessed to be a dumb ass and repeat the 11th grade 3 times."

KENNY(To Michael)
"I think you have your future crossed with mine motherfucker."

TRENT(To both)
"Chill guys, that's both your futures man."

MICHAEL(To Trent)
"Not Funny Trent."
(To Kenny)
"Man, what the hell else can we do in this hell hole except going to the Heights and
trying to make some fun.  It's like our parents are punishing us for being born or
something and the Heights is our own little haven.  I say we take it for all we can and live
life to the fucking fullest man"

TRENT(To Michael)
"Michael my boy, you get smarter every day."

MICHAEL(To Trent)
"Damn Straight!"

KENNY(To Trent)
"Trent, I mean what's the big fucking deal with the Heights?  I mean we cruise down
there, ride around while wasting gas, watch all the leftovers get stoned off their asses,
and then come home at like midnight and do it all again the next day.  We're getting a
like freaking broken record man."

TRENT(To Kenny)
"It's sure as hell easy to do that when your town's official past time is watching the grass
grow."

MICHAEL(To Trent)
"I thought watching traffic move was?"

TRENT(To Michael)
"That was last year man, they had like a huge town meeting this past winter to change it."

KENNY(To Both)
"Man you guys are fucking hopeless.  We need something more in our lives."

TRENT(To both)
"Sounds like someone needs to get some booty, doesn't it Michael?

MICHAEL(To Trent)
"That's what I'm hearing."

KENNY(To Trent)
"Well, not all of us bang and blame every night."

TRENT(To Kenny)
"Yeah I know.  Some of us are just lucky I guess."

KENNY(To Trent)
"Lucky to be a fucking idiot is not my idea of a good time."

TRENT(To Kenny and Michael)
"Yeah, Kenny's idea of a good time is the lights dim and the Icecapades on T.V."

MICHAEL(To Trent)
"That's a low one.  That one got me even, like right down here man."(points to his chest)

KENNY(To Trent)
"Yeah, and my fucking fist is about to get you right down there piss ant."

TRENT(To Kenny)
"You sure as hell know where to get you some if you want a piece of this alright."

MICHAEL(To Both)
"Chill you two.  It's all good.  No need to be spreading the violence in here.

KENNY and TRENT(To Michael)
"Man, what the fuck are talking about?"

Shot: Coach Douglas from the sidelines watching the whole exchange

your asses aren't in the weight room like the rest of the team!"

Shot: Michael in between of Trent and Kenny, and all of them looking towards the coach

you do, you might actually understand where he is coming from.

boyfriend.

Shot: Back to Erica's parents looking at her

MRS. NICHOLS(To Erica)
"How dare you talk to us like that Erica.  You should feel lucky that we even let you go
out with that bad influence.  How would you feel if we forbid you to see him?  Maybe
that will straighten you out.

MR. NICHOLS(To Erica)
"That's exactly what we'll do.  Erica, I don't want that gutter trash coming around here
ever again.  Until you learn to accept the morals we give you, you can just stay here all
summer.

Shot: Erica going back to her bed

ERICA(To Parents)
"Fine, do whatever the hell you want.  I'm going to see Lance one way or the other and
you two can't stop that.  Now just get the hell out of my room and let me get some sleep. 
Why don't you go pray for me or something, that seems like the only thing you care
about.

MRS. Nichols(To Erica)
"Erica, we are doing this for your own good.  We don't want you to end up, well..."

Shot: Erica rising out of her bed looking at her mother

ERICA(To Mom)
"Go ahead and say it Mom.  You don't want me to end up like some gutter trash in the
Heights do you?  Oh, there's no churches in the Heights so they all must be freaking
Satanists.  They're all going to hell even though most of them are nice people, but when a
couple of closed minded bible belters get on their high horse, they'll condemn anyone.

Shot: Erica's parents about to leave her room
Shot: Erica's dad opening the door and letting her mother out, but he stops and looks at
Erica.

MR. NICHOLS(To Erica)

hoodlum friends.  The next time I see that boy, I'll be in the right mind to have him
