EXT. BROOKLYN – ASTROLAND

Six young teens enter Astroland.

Roman tells everyone to wait in line for a horror ride

ROMAN

Yo, I’ll get the tickets, you guys wait for me in the line over there.

JOE

That ghetto ass horror ride?

ROMAN

Yeah!

MARIA

No, I don’t want to go there, its too scary!

ANDREW

What are you? A baby!

ROMAN

Shut up Andrew! We didn’t come here to fight, alright? So drop it! If she don’t want to go, then she don’t have to, okay?

MARIA

Don’t worry, I’ll go, I don’t wanna mess up your day.

Teens walk to the line

Daniel goes to ticket booth

TICKET BOOTH

          How many tickets?

ROMAN

          Umm, give me a 6 of the yellow bands

TICKET BOOTH

Here you go, enjoy your rides

ROMAN

Yeah thanks.

ROMAN

Come on lets go, here’s yours, yours, yours, yours, yours.

ROMAN

Are you coming or what?

MARIA

Nah, I changed my mind, I’ll wait you guys here.

ROMAN

Alright, its your pick, so just uh, we’ll meet you her later.

INT. HORROR RIDE

Everyone get on ride and it commences normally.

DEVON

Imagine this shit comes off, Ima be laughing.

It begins to move at a higher pace.

The safety bars rise.

ANDREW

Yo! This thing went up.

JOE

It’s not supposed to do that!

ROMAN

Not mines!

The teens see knives facing them ahead

DEVON

Whoa hold on!

THOMAS

Oh shit were gonna die, were gonna die, were gonna die!

They scream and the ride suddenly stops, making 4 teens fly into the sharp knives.

ALL

Ahh!

ROMAN gets up from the ride and becomes horrified.

Friends awaken and walk after him.

Daniel runs.

ALL

Roman, we need you, you must come to us, we need you Roman.

ROMAN

Oh no, not me, yous ain’t gonna get me!

Thomas, Devon, Joe and Andrew morph into each other and form a dark figure

Roman runs and finds the exit.

He finds himself in an empty amusement park and yells.

CAMERA zooms out from CRYSTAL BALL, all 6 teens look up in disbelief.

JOE

Ha! I don’t believe that shit.

FORTUNE TELLER

You better believe it, it won’t be the same exact image, but it’s giving you guys a warning.

ROMAN

What, to not leave Maria out or we’ll die? Come on lets get out of here!

Roman turns around towards black curtain, cracks it open and a large dark fist knocks him out.

Daniel, Romans unremembered twin with mental abilities wakes up in a white room, strapped within a straight jacket, Daniel stairs at a plain white clock with jet black pointers, then camera zooms out to Roman sitting on the edge of his bed in Florida.

INT. BEDROOM – MORNING

ROMAN walks off his bed to brush his teeth.

ROMAN walks to librarian again

LIBRARIAN

LIBRARIAN

Interesting topic, let me check.

ROMAN

Okay.

ROMAN looks around.

ROMAN

Okay, I’ll take that.

LIBRARIAN

LIBRARIAN

ROMAN

LIRARIAN

Do you want another card? This ones a bit beat up.

ROMAN

Nah, I’m fine with it, I like to see all my things look raw.

ROMAN steps away and walks near a BOOK CART and gets a call on his cell phone and answers it.

ROMAN

(Whispers) Hello.

BOSS

Hey Roman!

ROMAN

(Whispers) Hey, I’m at the library, hold on.

ROMAN puts the book down on the CART and enters the RESTROOM.

ROMAN

Yeah, so how you doing?

BOSS

Things aren’t going too well.

ROMAN

What happened now?

BOSS

Well, my wifes trying to kick me out of the house.

ROMAN

Why?

BOSS

The people downstairs, they hate me, or at least the father does, this drunken moron, son of a bitch, java the hut, child abuser! He doesn’t even let his kids have friends! His daughter works at MTV and he doesn’t let her listen to the radio!

ROMAN

Wow, that’s nuts!

BOSS

Yeah.

ROMAN

So what does this have to do with you?

BOSS

They’re related to my wifes family and they were

Renting the place, but they put in $50,000 of work, and are planning to stay. So my wife is blaming me because I let her decide to let them rent out the place after her mother died.

ROMAN

Hold on, wait, your being blamed for something that your wife decided on?

BOSS

Yes! It’s crazy, Roman.

ROMAN

Yeah I know.

BOSS

So I’m calling you to ask, if you could come up to New York, so you can help me move stuff, my wife wants me out of here soon. It’s like she hates me more every time she looks at me.

ROMAN

Well, I’m not sure if I could go.

BOSS

Oh, please, you have to, buddy.

ROMAN

Well, I’m gonna have to tell my dad first.

BOSS

Ok, your father will let you, he’s a good man, and I helped him once, when he lost his job.

ROMAN

Yeah, I know that.

BOSS

Well tell your father that I’m in trouble with the family and that I need your help, you’re the only person I trust. I can’t trust these blow jobs, they can’t even get to the job on time.

ROMAN

It still hasn’t changed.

BOSS

Nope, oh lets incorporate, you and me, what do you think?

ROMAN

Now? What’s the point?

BOSS

I was thinking it’s a good idea.

ROMAN

After 20 years, now you’re thinking about having a real roofing company? You’re such a funny character.

BOSS

Just trust me, we’ll be incorporated soon.

ROMAN

Okay, whatever, you’re the boss, bye.

BOSS

Bye.

ROMAN hangs up, leaves the restroom and forgets the book.

ROMAN goes outside and doesn’t see the bike.

ROMAN

Oh man, what the fuck!

ROMAN walks to the SECURITY GUARD.

ROMAN

Um, did you see somebody take a bike from over there?

SECURITY GUARD

No, what happened, someone stole you bicycle?

ROMAN

Yeah man! It wasn’t even mines!

SECURITY GUARD

Well I’m sorry, did you lock it?

ROMAN

Oh don’t worry about me, I’ve bin through a lot of crazy things in my life.

GIRL FRIENDS MOTHER

ROMAN

Oh I might go to New York next week.

Roman walks towards his apartment and his girl friend sees him while she parks her car gets parked.

MARIA

Dad? Isn’t that roman?

 MARIAS FATHER

MARIA

(Sarcastically)I wonder what he and mom were doing.

 MARIAS FATHER

Could you stop it? I’m tired of it, your mother and roman aren’t doing anything. I put cameras around the house, and I haven’t seen noting suspicious.

ROMAN

ROMAN walks down the stairs to the car and a FRIEND approaches him

FRIEND

Hey Rome, what’s popping?

ROMAN

Nothing, just gotta go to the store to get some milk, want to come with me?

FRIEND

Sure, getting out of this boring ass place is a good thing, plus I need some cigarettes.

ROMAN and FRIEND enter the CAR and ROMAN notices the KEY is tilted to the side.

ROMAN

Oh shit, I can’t believe this!

FRIEND

What?

ROMAN

This frigging key is hanging to the side

FRIEND

So? Just put it back or get another key

ROMAN

The key tilts when I’m going to have a bad day.

FRIEND laughs at ROMAN

FRIEND

Are you serious?

ROMAN

Yeah man, this always happens to me when I have a bad day.

FRIEND continues laughing again

FRIEND

So you got a luck charm or something?

ROMAN

No! It’s just an indicator.

They get into the car and ROMAN sits in the car thinking

FRIEND

Come on roman, start the car!

ROMAN

Could you wait!

FRIEND

Wait for what?

ROMAN

I’m thinking.

FRIEND

About what? Man you’re whacked out, seriously.

ROMAN

ROMAN ends the call.

FRIEND

ROMAN

My boss.

FRIEND

Oh, my boys finally got a job.

ROMAN

FRIEND

Oh, but why is he being kicked out?

ROMAN

His wife hates him for a mistake.

FRIEND

Wow, that mistake must be something big.

ROMAN

I don’t know, but his reason didn’t sound right.

FRIEND

What was it?

ROMAN

Their tenants are taking over the apartment down stairs, and its my boss’ wifes relatives, and she’s blaming him for letting her decide to let them stay.

FRIEND

What! That’s retarded!

ROMAN

I know, but my boss is known to get into shit like that, he just hates to admit it.

FRIEND

I’m not into people like that, they get you into so much trouble that it aint funny.

ROMAN

Well, don’t worry about my boss, there wont be any problems.

ROMAN and FRIEND arrive to the store and they walk inside.

ROMAN greets MAN passing by.

ROMAN

How you doing.

MAN walks by ROMAN and ignores him

ROMAN

Did you just see that?

FRIEND

What?

ROMAN

I said hi to that guy and he ignored me.

FRIEND

So?

ROMAN

What do you mean, so? In New York, people are better in being human, here in Florida, these asshole act like they’re some big shots.

FRIEND

Most of them are from New York.

ROMAN

Do New Yorkers act slow?

FRIEND

No, Just forget about it man.

ROMAN goes to pick up the milk and walks to the REGISTER with FRIEND

ROMAN

Hi.

REGISTER

Hi there!

ROMAN

You got a pretty face there, you shouldn’t be working here, get to one of them photo posing things, they pay you a lot more then here.

REGISTER

But isn’t it expensive?

ROMAN

There’s two things you can do, one is find out about the International Model and Talent Association program, or you can just go to an agency that’s hooked up with Kmart, 3M, Best Buy, or what ever store you go to, they have people will take pictures of you and you could start out your modeling career from there.

REGISTER

How do you know, you work for one?

ROMAN

No, I researched it for some friends of mine.

REGISTER

Oh, I see.

REGISTER scans the milk

REGISTER

Well its $4.19.

ROMAN

Here you go.

REGISTER

Thank you and have a good night.

ROMAN

You too, and don’t forget about that modeling thing I told you about.

ROMAN grabs the milk and walks out with the FRIEND

THEY stand outside looking lost and then see the car

And begin walking.

ROMAN

Ok, where did I park the car?

FRIEND

Umm, oh I see it! It’s over there.

ROMAN

Ok, lets go.

FRIEND

You’re such a flirt and full of bull-shit!

ROMAN

No I’m not! I’m just telling the kid what she can do to get her pretty ass out of there, plus she should get out of this stupid state.

FRIEND

Ok what ever, Roman, you think you know it all.

ROMAN

I do know it all

FRIEND

Watch when you get challenged and can’t do it, Ima crack on you for the rest of your life

THEY begin to walk and CELL PHONE rings

ROMAN

Hello.

ROMAN ends the call.

FRIEND

ROMAN picks up an angry tone.

ROMAN

No! My friggin boss!

FRIEND

Yo! Calm down, what’s your problem?

ROMAN

This kid keeps on calling me, as if there’s no tomorrow.

FRIEND

Maybe it is.

ROMAN pulls out his wallet and takes out 2 dollars and hands it to his FRIEND

ROMAN

Here, take this and do yourself a favor, get yourself a cup of shut the fuck up!

ROMAN unlocks the doors and begins to drive home with FRIEND.

FRIEND

Your boss sounds like a pain.

ROMAN

Today he called me four times.

FRIEND

So? I have people call me 15 times a day.

ROMAN

With the same conversations?

FRIEND

No, but…

ROMAN

Ok then.

The car runs over a metal object that flattens the tire and ROMAN almost loses control, but stops on time.

ROMAN

What the fuck was that!

FRIEND

I don’t know.

ROMAN and FRIEND get out of the car and see a flat tire and the metal object 100 feet behind the car.

ROMAN

Oh man, the fucking tires busted!

FRIEND

Look! I think that’s what popped your tire.

THEY walk to the metal object

ROMAN

These fucking, cock sucking, asshole Floridians, letting shit fall off the back of their redneck trucks.

ROMAN lifts the metal object and throws it to the side with hate

ROMAN

You fucking prick!

FRIEND

Calm down Roman, lets go change that tire.

THEY walk back and find out that some one stole the spear tire

ROMAN

What the fuck!

FRIEND

ROMAN

Some body stole my tire!

FRIEND

Alright yo, thanks a lot.

FRIEND

You were right about your keys.

ROMAN

ROMAN runs up the stairs with the milk.

ROMAN
