Fade into the quiet, serene setting of crashing waves.
The camera slowly zooms out to feature the beach and pier, and then slowly revealing a luxurious hotel in front of the beach, surrounded by palm trees. The camera keeps slowly zooming out until it arrives in one particular room of this hotel.
A group of business associates have gathered together, dressed in suits, seated at a table as they are served beverages and drinks. There are eight of them in total, and the mood is casual as each of them are comfortable and joking back and forth.
The camera focuses on an African American man at the head of the table, as a voiceover from him is overheard.
VOICEOVER
Hi, for those of you joining in on the action, my name is James Smith, and I’m the leader of a business, The Invisible Hand, which is currently paired with the largest casino chain in the entire world. Needless to say, we’re doing great business. But it wasn’t always like this. I started out as a paperboy, of rather modest beginnings in a pretty dismal neighborhood and I worked my way up through t
The camera pans left and focuses on the man seated next to Smith, a white rich man with a crew cut and a completely different story to tell, as his voiceover is overheard.
VOICEOVER
The name’s Jake Williams. I guess you could say that in this business, I’m James’ right hand man. Our stories, are completely different. I was fortunate enough to be born into the household of a very well paid lawyer, the very best in the region. It wasn’t hard, at least rivaled by James, but I can’t help but thank the people who have gotten me to this point. It’s all about connections and who you
The camera pans to the right of Smith, another white rich man who has his hair back, it’s quite obvious this guy is the high roller of the group. His voiceover is overheard.
VOICEOVER
John Graham. I inherited a ton of cash, and invested a lot of it, which was the most logical thing to do. But unlike many people who just inherit their money, I didn’t just spend it on whatever the hell I wanted. I was very conservative about my dough and I held onto it and watched it build up until I could do whatever the hell I wanted. This is the life everyone dreams of but never attains. That’
The camera pans to the left of Williams, a white businessman with a crew cut, who seems like he has his own agenda. His voiceover is overheard.
VOICEOVER
My name is Steve Jones, and I came from a middle class household, and came up as a lawyer with several critical cases. I was hired by The Invisible Hand, thanks to the notoriety many of these cases gave me. In case you’re wondering, it’s because I’m a damn good lawyer. I’m not trying to brag, just being honest. There’s an art to winning cases, a winning formula if you will. Sooner rather than late
The camera pans to the right of Graham, a Jewish businessman that everyone seems to get along with everyone. His voiceover is overheard.
VOICEOVER
Name’s Dan Wilson. I come from a middle class family from Brooklyn, and I just happened to be in the right place at the right time. The Invisible Hand liked my work, and they met with me and I joined. A bunch of great class acts, they really are. However, some of the people we deal with just bother me, same as the conditions we operate under. I don’t know, just a minor complaint. Hell, what am I d
The camera pans to the left of Jones, another white businessman that seems to be the most detached, yet damaged of the group. His voiceover is overheard.
VOICEOVER
I’m Jason Davis. I’ve been with The Invisible Hand for a few years now and I have to say, I’m having the time of my life. Throughout my life, I’ve always been the guy caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. Being hired here was just, plain and simple, the best thing that’s ever happened to me, and that’s all there is to it.
The camera pans to the right of Wilson, another white businessman with his hair slicked back that obviously looks like he means business. His voiceover is heard.
VOICEOVER
Sean Miller. Started out as a prime time boxer, until these guys even offered me more money. They see me as an enforcer, and I guess it makes sense in a way. There isn't nobody afraid of Sean Miller. I’m not even trying to boast. You fuck with me, you will die.
The camera pans to the left of Davis, the youngest of the group, also with a crew cut. His voiceover is overheard.
VOICEOVER
Name’s Dave Brown. I’m the youngest of the members of this business organization, and I guess there’s a learning curve for me that’s not present with the others, at least at the moment. They all have experiences that I will soon garner and inherit, and I’m fortunate to be looking up to, learning, and working with these guys. At the same time, I don’t at all view myself as the little brother of all
The camera fades out and then suddenly cuts instantly to a club, booming music from Drake, Kid Ink, and Jeremih.
Graham, Jones, and Williams sit at a table off to the side.
GRAHAM
Can’t get much better than this, fellas!
JONES
I think I’m going to need a vacation from the vacation.
GRAHAM
What’s that supposed to mean?
JONES
This shit's all too good to be true, man haha.
GRAHAM
Come on, Jones, don’t be such a fucking square.
JONES
Check yourself out. Gambling. Lying. Infidelity. Being the role model for assholes all over America. That shit'll catch up you, you know. Never underestimate the capability,or better said the stupidity (other guys laugh) of your own flaws.
WILLIAMS
Stevie’s got his point.
GRAHAM
Stevie’s got his dick in his hands. You guys are on some philosophical, namby pamby, 'realistic' bullshit. You're taking life way too seriously. You go to do what you want, when you want, and however you want. Otherwise you'll die, because you had no reason to live. There's some fucking philosophy for you, man. (says "philosophy" in a mocking tone).
JONES
Yeah, but there’s nobody, even in hell, that would give you the right to take advantage of people.
(Graham immediately gets up and stands aggressively in front of Jones.)
GRAHAM
Don’t tell me how to live my fucking life!
WILLIAMS
Why don’t you sit, and calm the hell down?
GRAHAM
Why don’t you quit being the middleman all the time? Hey, I'm looking at you, Williams.
WILLIAMS
You fucking simpletons, look...
GRAHAM
He’s a big boy, let him speak for himself.
JONES
Do whatever you want, Graham.
After a brief moment, Graham gets up and leaves.
GRAHAM
Fucking pricks...
Jones turns to Williams.
JONES
Every time with this asshole. I’m telling you I will, just somehow, I’ll-
WILLIAMS
Snap. “And then Graham’s gonna repent it. He’s gonna fucking repent it and after that he’ll think twice the next time he tries to act smart, and realize he isn’t. I’m telling you, man. One day. I can feel it.” (Jones looks relatively shocked) You wanna grab my attention? Sing a different song. (Williams chuckles and pats Jones on the shoulder) Come on man, everything’s all good. It’s child’s play.
JONES
It’s trivial. Like a goddamn movie character with this guy. His ways of living are incredibly grandiose. Too grandiose. Yet he ceases to impress me, let alone convince me to take him seriously.
WILLIAMS
So what’s the problem?
JONES
Oh, so you’re gonna jump on his side on the fence now.
WILLIAMS
(Williams sighs, and puts his drink down) Alright, calm your nerves, and listen. I'm just trying to reason with you here, you shouldn't be fighting over shit like this.
JONES
What you don’t understand, Williams, is that when two people have a significant amount of differences, there's bound to be conflict. It’s inevitable. We can fucking hold hands, we can laugh together when you crack a joke, acting like we’re friends, but that's all it's gonna be. An act. Now, acknowledging this cold hard fact, you're probably gonna tell me to at least pretend to have some common gro
Cut over to the opposite side of the club, near the bar.
Brown and Miller go to get drinks and Miller notices the girl Brown has his eyes set on, Danielle.
Miller starts joking around when he notices it, but Brown is acting bashful and nervous.
MILLER
This motherfucker!
BROWN
Yo, cut it out!
MILLER
Aw, come on. Be a man and get over there.
BROWN
How do you even know that I like her? Maybe I just don’t appreciate your humiliation.
MILLER
Do I have your pants around your ankles? Is your dick out? Does she even know who the fuck you are? Mate, who’s hands are gonna be down your pants by tonight? Yours? Or hers?
BROWN
I already told you man, I’m not interested. Believe it or not, Mills, there’s more to a girl than just a face and a body.
MILLER
Not true. At least not before you meet them.
everyone’s just a piece of meat before they introduce themselves aren’t they? So you gonna talk to her?
You better before I do. That’s not a promise, it’s a guarantee.
BROWN
Dude, come on, don’t do this
MILLER
Ahh, so you are interested after all. That’ll make this easier. Give me a second.
BROWN
Come on!! Mills!!
Miller walks over to Danielle and sits next to her.
MILLER
What’s up, buttercup?
DANIELLE
Do I know you?
MILLER
Can’t say we’ve met before.
DANIELLE
Then what’s the deal?
MILLER
No deal, I saw you sitting here alone. Is that a problem?
DANIELLE
What if I was waiting for someone?
MILLER
What if you were?
Danielle waves off the question.
MILLER
Anyway, the real reason I came over here is because my buddy over there thinks you’re pretty. Would you mind making his day and going over to talk to him?
DANIELLE
Is he shy or something?
Brown comes up behind them and then sits down next to them.
BROWN
Contrary to what my friend here would have you believe, I can very well speak for myself.
DANIELLE
Ok…
BROWN
Dave Brown, I’ve seen you around here a lot but we’ve never formally met.
He shakes Danielle’s hand.
BROWN
You’re…
DANIELLE
Danielle.
BROWN
Yes, I mean I’ve heard a lot about you and seen you a lot here and there.
DANIELLE
Is that so?
BROWN
Yeah, I’m pretty much here every week.
DANIELLE
It’s funny because we both are here a lot but we’ve never met, at least from what I remember.
Miller gets up from the table and leaves to go somewhere else.
MILLER
Seems as if you’ve got it under control from here.
BROWN
As I was saying, I think we have actually talked a few times but you know, it was brief.
DANIELLE
Yeah, look, I don’t really remember....
BROWN
You know, I can't remember waking up this morning. Do you think that means that I'm dreaming? (Brown smirks, and raises his eyebrow suggestively)
DANIELLE
(Danielle starts to crack a smile, and laughs) Maybe, haha.
You actually seem like a nice guy.
BROWN
Hit what I was aiming for.
(Brown looks away slightly, as to play off what he just said, as if nothing)
DANIELLE
Where do you work?
BROWN
I'm in with this local organization. The Invisible Hand, we're really raking in the dough. I can't complain.
DANIELLE
Yeah?
(Danielle grows slightly more interested)
BROWN
At the moment, life isn't getting much better than this. The American dream: the money, the cars, the clothes. It's fucking awesome.
("Successful" by Trey Songz is playing in the background)
DANIELLE
Impressive, you’re making quite a living for yourself.
BROWN
Yeah, things have been improving, really. (Brown takes his drink, and finishes it as to ease a bit of the tension) How about you? Where do you work?
DANIELLE
Eh, I work at the local salon. Pretty nice place, I inherited a lot of the money so I could open my own and business is going really well.
BROWN
Oh yeah (Brown snaps his finger, as to reassure his memory), I heard about that. Congrats.
DANIELLE
Thanks. Well, I gotta get going. Would you mind walking me home?
BROWN
No, not at all.
Brown walks out with Danielle, while nodding to each of his friends, very pleased.
The camera pans to another side of the club, where Davis and Wilson are socializing with a lot of other people. Suddenly, Davis notices something out of the corner of his eye and just pauses. In comes the most beautiful girl he’s ever seen in his entire life. He goes over to talk to her.
DAVIS
Excuse me, but I just wanted to introduce myself.
The girl smiles and gives him a handshake.
GIRL
Julia.
DAVIS
Davis.
JULIA
Nice to meet you, Davis.
DAVIS
Nice to meet you, Julia.
JULIA
So what brings you here?
DAVIS
Ah nothing, we go here every week, my buddies and I. We’re in this big business known as The Invisible Hand.
JULIA
And what do you do with The Invisible Hand?
DAVIS
Well, it’s just a normal business like any other except we also are in association with this particular club as well as a chain of casinos.
JULIA
Sounds charming.
DAVIS
Yeah, it’s pretty cool. What do you do?
JULIA
I’m a reporter and broadcaster.
DAVIS
For what company?
JULIA
Well, I’m working for Sun Sports and reporting for the Tampa Bay Rays and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I just started broadcasting there, and beforehand I was writing for the Tampa Tribune.
DAVIS
That's funny, cause I’m what they call an avid sports aficionado. Big Bucs and Rays fan.
JULIA
Welcome to the party.
DAVIS
You know you got it all, (Davis looks off into the distance with a faceless expression, and then looks back at her and chuckles) You’re beautiful, successful, and you know your sports.
JULIA
(Julia spawns a sort of cocky, but also unsure expression on her face) You know, I appreciate that, but it's still just the beginning for me.
DAVIS
That's amateur talk. You speak like a person who doesn't feel like they're gonna amount to the heights of their peers. You’re fine. You know how I got to my position? Confidence. Faith. Ambition. Persistence. And each every one of them with just a modicum of pretentious snob.
JULIA
Hmm. (Julia nods her head in understanding and takes of sip of her drink, due partially to being intimidated, and partially impressed) I'll be sure to remember that. (rearranges her position) You know what I like about you?
DAVIS
I can take a guess.
JULIA
You seem genuine. You're not one of these bland characters who just claims "I can do it" or some other redundant statement. You talk like how it is. Life isn't just a big ride of "I think I can". We've all been raised to be similar to a bunch of toddlers, just running around trying to reach the same level when it's not gonna happen. Not with that one and only "supreme" mentality. And you're just t
DAVIS
(Davis shrugs, and then smirks)
That is what I strive to be, after all.
Wilson taps Davis on the back.
Julia shakes his hand as Davis introduces them to each other.
DAVIS
Julia, Wilson. Wilson, Julia.
WILSON
Nice to meet you.
JULIA
Nice to meet you.
WILSON
So what’s going on here?
DAVIS
Julia’s a reporter and broadcaster for Sun Sports, she covers the Bucs and Rays.
WILSON
(Wilson smiles) Nice, you boarded the right ship.
JULIA
I was hoping I did. Thanks.
WILSON
You, are one lucky gal. Davis is one of the most solid guys I know.
JULIA
He looks like it.
WILSON
Well, I’ll let you two alone. Nice to meet you.
Wilson leaves.
DAVIS
He’s a good guy, Wilson. One of my closest friends.
JULIA
(Julia nods her head)
The camera pans to the back of the club. Smith sits down across from the big time casino owner, Matt Paul, as they shake hands.
SMITH
What can I do for you today, Mr. Paul?
PAUL
I wanted to talk a bit about the terms of our partnership.
SMITH
Anything wrong?
PAUL
Oh no, I just want to clear everything up before our next casino opens.
SMITH
Ok, fair enough.
PAUL
Alright, well I’ve grown increasingly, suspicious, of some of the members of your crew.
SMITH
Matt, I can assure you…
PAUL
Hold on a second, Smith.
SMITH
Who in particular?
PAUL
Graham is a wild card. You know that, I know that. The guy clearly has his own intentions.
(Just as Paul says that, Graham is seen exiting with two supermodels.)
SMITH
You think? (Smith points back to Graham with the supermodels, both Smith and Paul laugh shortly). But that came with bringing him on board, I know the guys I work with.
PAUL
I’m telling you, this guy is an instigator. He's more of a liability than a true partner.
SMITH
You clearly don't know of the use he has for us. And if anything, Graham can be set in line when he needs to be.
PAUL
Alright bear with me here, my proposition is this: if this Graham character, or maybe even the youngster, does something stupid, I need to confirm where exactly each of your loyalties lie. Don't make me rely on conjecture, Smith.
SMITH
Look, look, look, enough with the politics alright. I'm not into any of that bullshit. That's coward's play. I don't favor nobody, Graham knows that, Brown knows that, and you should fucking know better too, Paul.
PAUL
Yeah, but if it-
SMITH
(Smith interrupts Paul) Not trying to start something, but you do know that cop on your payroll pretty well don't you? Huh buddy? (Smith taps Paul's shoulder to bug him)
PAUL
Yeah, alright look I see where you're getting at. Listen to me. I’ll worry about my business…
SMITH
And you let me worry about mine. With all due respect, if we're done here…
PAUL
I never got an answer.
SMITH
Sorry, but I'm gonna have to end the discussion here. Gossip, just sparks feuds, Paul my naive friend. And then to try to start it with the people I work with? and more importantly, when the people that I work with happen to be my friends? I'm just trying to play big brother to the pack... It's a bad call man.
PAUL
(Paul sighs in annoyance, but with also a hint of comprehension)
I see.
SMITH
I just wanna have good business, think about it from that aspect. Take it easy, Matt.
Smith walks away.
Cut to Danielle’s house, where Brown and Danielle are passionately making out and then go into another room.
Cut to the boardwalk, where Davis and Julia are walking.
DAVIS
You know, all my life, I was the guy in the wrong place at the wrong time. Now I feel like I’m in the moment and I can actually be who I am.
After a brief moment, he stops.
DAVIS
You know, you’re the first person I ever felt like I could fully speak my mind to.
JULIA
What about your friends and The Invisible Hand?
DAVIS
You see, we're close pals and we do everything together, but there's a certain limit on what goes around with them. (Davis caresses Julia's her and looks into her eyes) I feel like I can just stop being such a "manly man" for once when I'm with you, and I can just open up. You know what I mean?
JULIA
Oh, definitely (Julia begins to gaze back into Davis' eyes). I can't even begin to tell you.
DAVIS
Seriously?
JULIA
Not a doubt in my mind.
DAVIS
I can bet a lot of guys have chased after you, haven't they?
JULIA
You see, here’s the thing with that. Sure, I’ve gone out with a few here and there but you are the first person I feel ‘gets it’. I don’t know, is it wrong, because we’ve only known each other for a few hours?
DAVIS
There are no rules, baby.
JULIA
I don’t know, my whole life, I’ve been searching for that person, that would ‘get it’, that would understand me.
DAVIS
I'd be lying if I said I didn't either.
JULIA
Not even a day, and I've already fallen.
DAVIS
Let me catch you.
JULIA
(Julia laughs)
DAVIS
(Davis laughs embarrassingly)
I'm sorry, that was a bit corny.
JULIA
It's ok. (Julia smiles subtly at him, and then they slowly move in towards each other to start kissing slowly)
(Julia and Davis start making out on the boardwalk, and then look out at the waves.
Cut to a coffee store. Wilson walks up to a table where a woman is at and sits down across from her.)
WILSON
A coffee store? That isn’t cliched at all! Glad we’re thinking outside the box, Claire!
(Both of them share a laugh, and after a bit get serious, but casual not intense.)
WILSON
So I’m assuming your husband is busy right now?
CLAIRE
You tell me, you were with him.
WILSON
I saw him leaving with two blonde supermodels.
(Claire sighs and looks frustrated.)
WILSON
Forgive me if I overstep my boundaries here, but why do you stick with this guy?
CLAIRE
I like challenges.
WILSON
I don’t exactly know if that’s a legitimate reason.
CLAIRE
He’s your friend and associate, as well.
WILSON
Does that mean I have to like the guy?
Claire looks stressed.
WILSON
I’m sorry to talk down about your husband, but come on now, Claire. You know what he does and the type of guy he is.
CLAIRE
Let me ask you something, in my position what would you do?
WILSON
Look, I don’t know what you see in your husband that makes you stick around and be taken advantage of like this. I know there’s a lot of other people that care about you.
CLAIRE
Like who?
WILSON
Claire, if I don’t care about you, why would I be here in the first place?
CLAIRE
I don’t know.
WILSON
You do what you want. I’m just telling you my perspective.
CLAIRE
You’re a good friend, Dan. That’s why I like talking like this. I don’t want to make it seem like I don’t appreciate having you there, because I really do. To be honest, I know you have better things to do with your time than listen to me vent about stuff.
WILSON
Like what? Go clubbing? Go watch TV? Go to sports events? What? Let me tell you something, there’s no place in the world I’d rather be right now, even if we are at a coffee store.
CLAIRE
You mean it?
WILSON
Look at me.
Cut to Danielle’s apartment.
Underneath the covers, Brown is having sex with Danielle. After it’s over, both are exhausted. Danielle gets up, completely naked, and walks over to check her phone, as Brown watches her. Suddenly there’s a knock on the door.
DANIELLE
I’ll get it.
Danielle throws on a shirt and answers the door. It’s Miller.
DANIELLE
How the fuck did he find this place? Did you give him the address?
MILLER
No, actually it’s a block away from the club and I saw you two walk inside.
DANIELLE
What the fuck gave you the idea it would be ok to just walk over?
MILLER
I’m not the one who opened the door, first of all. And I've been meaning to ask, how does it feel like to have a stick up your ass all the time? Must've had real trouble walking to the fucking door, it seems like.
(Brown, who’s wearing shorts, immediately gets up from the bed aggressively.)
BROWN
Hey, what the fuck?
MILLER
Brown, sit the fuck down. You can't think straight after you've been in the sack. (Miller looks at Danielle, scratches his chin and points back to Brown) This fucking guy, hehe...
DANIELLE
You can march your ass right out that door where you came from! Whatever the fuck is going on (she waves her finger at both of them irritatingly) here, it's not my problem!
MILLER
Then you should’ve ignored the door and kept blowing DB.
DANIELLE
DB?
MILLER
Dick boy over here.
BROWN
Dave Brown. Don’t listen to him.
Miller turns to Brown.
MILLER
You're an imbecile, you know that?
BROWN
The fuck are you on about again, Miller?
MILLER
(signals at Brown, lifts his index finger)
Come, come, this is important.
BROWN
What the hell's the matter?
MILLER
It’s urgent, now come on. You mind if we occupy the other room for a quick interlude? And then Dave can go back to being an idiot.
DANIELLE
(sarcastically) Oh no! Feel free, it's absolutely fine. Take your time.
MILLER
(Miller smirks arrogantly at Danielle)
I knew I was wrong about you.
(Danielle sighs and rolls her eyes, but seems to buy Miller's sarcasm)
BROWN
(Miller and Brown walk to the other room and close the door)
What was so damn crucial that you had to come and interrupt my session with that?!? (Brown points to Danielle through the wall)
I mean did you see that? That shirt wasn't hiding anything.
MILLER
Hey! (Miller snaps his finger multiple times next to Brown's head) Look at the business you're in, for christ's sake, I thought you'd be more intelligent. More aware, more mindful!
BROWN
Are you calling her a threat? Elaborate Miller, I'm not gonna get your point speaking in riddles all day.
MILLER
You need something simpler than riddles, mate? Just take a good, quick look at the girl. She is fucking full of it, the way she talks, the way she looks at others, how she flaunts herself. Hell, even how she walks. It's like she wants every bloke to think they fancy her.
BROWN
Like I've asked so many times before Miller, WHAT are you on about?!?
MILLER
(Miller shakes Brown out of anger and impatience) Will you fucking listen to me?!?!? She's filling in for the role that she knows you want her to be. That's how she lures you in. And aside from some deep-seated plot she’s probably hatched, she's a fucking woman. Not to mention, "the woman of your dreams".
BROWN
You know you're actually pretty right there, Miller. I wanted her to at least be my girlfriend for the night, so she played that because she knew that was what I wanted. And also, she is a woman. I checked. And the woman of my dreams? I've never said that before. You're clearly over exaggerating a simple crush. But thank you so much for worrying about me Miller. (sarcastically) It means the world,
MILLER
(Miller slaps Brown across the face before he could finish talking)
You fucking ungrateful little kid. Need to grow a pair, and start thinking like a grown man.
BROWN
(Brown touches where Miller slapped him, and then grows with rage as he starts to shove Brown, urging him to leave)
Get out of my sight, Miller! Out! Out! You're not my fucking father!!
MILLER
(before Brown fully shoves him outside the room)
You're right I'm not 100% acting like a father figure right now- I'm also looking out for this goddamn business Brown! Remember I'm like the guidance fucking counselor but more physical-(pushes Brown off him, knocking him to the floor). (Miller, in a now louder voice tone) Now you do what you wanna do and fuck up your own life, I'm always gonna try to help but if I can't, then that's that. You pay
BROWN
(Brown, now even irritated to the point of anger, looks at Miller with a face of complete hatred and gets up, and then swings the door open, and walks out. With Miller following him of course)
Get the fuck out!
MILLER
I warned you. Don't be surprised when you get a bill-
BROWN
Keep it to yourself you fucking ape!
MILLER
(Miller proceeds to walk out, but at the last step turns around to face Brown with a face of disappointment)
You always let them control you and control you. (starts to walk away into the street and nods his head) It's for your own good, man.
DANIELLE
And don't even think about coming back around here, you heard?
(Miller ignores her, with his hands in his pockets and his head down in disapproval, just walking into the street)
BROWN
(Brown has a visible look of sadness and regret on his face)
I gotta go. I'm gonna get ready. (Brown picks up and puts on his clothes in a rather mopey fashion)
DANIELLE
Ok.
BROWN
(Brown finishes putting on his clothes, then picks up 3 condom wrappers and throws them out in the garbage, Danielle looks at him while he's doing this, and raises her eyebrows at him in an emotionless manner)
I guess I'll see you around, then.
DANIELLE
(Danielle grabs Brown fiercely by the face and tongues him passionately and then pulls away quickly)
I guess I will. (Danielle smiles, but in a manner that throws off the audience's stance on her true intentions and purpose)
BROWN
Most definitely. (Brown smiles as he is leaving Danielle's house, in a way concluding that he feels proud of what he had just done, partially recovered over what Miller told him, while also feeling that he had just proved him wrong)
Brown walks off into the rainy streets, with his head held high, and then stops to hail a taxi.
Cut to Graham’s house, which is huge and luxurious. Wilson and Claire walk in. Claire turns on the lights and they walk upstairs, slowly. They open the door to the bedroom and see Graham, with his shirt unbuttoned and shorts on sitting on the bed asleep with the two blonde girls, who are naked.
Claire looks over to Wilson, about to break down, but Wilson stands firm.
WILSON
You do it, or I will.
Claire slowly closes the door and then reopens it, which wakes everyone up. Graham is really surprised.
GRAHAM
Claire! I didn’t think you’d be home so early!
CLAIRE
It is still my house, isn’t it?
GRAHAM
Sure it is.
CLAIRE
What are these two whores doing naked on our bed?
GRAHAM
First of all, they aren’t whores, they’re two very nice girls.
CLAIRE
They’re whores, John. What kind of women shack up with a married man? Do you have any idea?
GRAHAM
Ok, and what are you doing with that guy at the door?
Wilson walks into the room, which surprises Claire.
CLAIRE
Dan, go back, please!
GRAHAM
Danny?!?!
WILSON
I’m not having sex with your wife behind her back like you’re doing to her, even though I probably should because well, (laughs) How ironic would that be, am I right?
GRAHAM
Claire, you’ve been seeing Wilson behind my back?
CLAIRE
No, we’ve just been talking.
WILSON
Nothing intimate at all, unlike your, uhmm, little situation over here. We're not even going out.
GRAHAM
Then why did you just admit you wanted to fuck her?
WILSON
Ahh, you weren't paying attention. I said that I SHOULD'VE had sex with her, because it would've actually done you some justice. I didn't say that I wanted to.
GRAHAM
So you're trying to turn my own wife against me? Get her to Wilson's side right?
WILSON
I’m not trying to fucking do anything! You’re the one bouncing around from broad to broad, living like a single man when you're not. Poor Claire has to be the one in the neglected wife position and put up with your shit.
GRAHAM
Claire, do you have feelings for this prick?
CLAIRE
John, I can't think right now. Not with all that's going on.
GRAHAM
It's such an easy question to answer. Just a stupid fucking question. Do. You. Have. Feelings. For. This. Asshole?
CLAIRE
I don’t know what I feel! I can't think I need space to breathe! (Claire starts to panic, gripping her chest, falling to the floor while hyperventilating and crying)
GRAHAM
Son of a bitch!
WILSON
At least you got that part right, Graham! Hey! We found some middle ground. Finally, for once!!!!
GRAHAM
Get out of my house!
CLAIRE
(while sobbing)
Dan, p-p-please! Just f-for now!
WILSON
I’m not leaving without you.
CLAIRE
(sniffs and wipes away a tear)
Please, Dan.
Graham gets up from the bed and goes into his drawer.
GRAHAM
30 seconds, is what you got to bite the bullet. Or bullets. What's it gonna be Danny?
CLAIRE
(yelling while crying)
Please!!!
WILSON
I can't leave you here to this, this, this torture, Claire.
GRAHAM
You find a rabbit’s foot today. I can't find my gun, and that makes you a real lucky man. But you're still not that lucky, and I'll still hurt you if you don't leave.
Claire keeps trying to shove Wilson away, but he stands firm.
Finally, Graham comes over and starts wrestling Wilson, causing Claire to scream. He punches Wilson a few times, kicks him in the stomach, and uppercuts him in the face. Wilson falls to the ground as Graham keeps kicking him.
GRAHAM
Stay the fuck away from my wife!
He kicks Wilson one more time and then slams the door closed.
Claire starts sobbing uncontrollably, as she sees Wilson on the ground, all bruised and banged up. Wilson struggles to get up and Claire quickly comes to his aid and helps him down the stairs and out the door. Wilson refuses her help but Claire insists.
WILSON
I don’t need any more help from here on out. Go be with your husband.
CLAIRE
No, I’m staying here and helping you out.
She helps him inside the car.
Cut to the hospital, where Claire is calm, sitting next to the patient Wilson, holding his hand and trying to reassure him that things are alright. Williams walks in the room.
WILLIAMS
Is everything alright?
CLAIRE
He’s doing alright now.
WILLIAMS
You hanging in there, Wilson?
Wilson looks and barely nods.
Cut to outside the hospital room, where Williams is calling Smith.
SMITH
(Yawns, and then rubs his eyes) What's going on Jay? What's this about, man?
WILLIAMS
Smith, we’ve got an emergency. Wilson’s in the hospital, they banged the guy up, and bad.
SMITH
Jesus, fuck- How bad? (Smith gets up from his bed and becomes more alert) Can the guy stand?
WILLIAMS
If he can, it'd be incredibly painful to do so. Broken nose, broken jaw, broken arm, broken rib.
SMITH
Well, what was the poor sap up to?
WILLIAMS
He was hanging out with Graham’s wife so he got beat to a pulp.
SMITH
Hanging out? As in you know "hanging out"?
WILLIAMS
No, I don't think so at least. From what they say.... and it doesn't seem like it to me. And Wilson just doesn't exactly... how do I say this?
SMITH
Strike you as the kind of guy who just has sex with the wives of his fellow co workers? I know. I was just making sure. Wanted some more reassurance.
WILLIAMS
Perfectly stated.
