1 INT. NYC LUDOVIC'S BEDROOM - DAWN 1
A single beam of daylight enters the room and touches
Ludovic's nose. Chipped and Cracked plaster makes up the
walls. The room is seeded with pencils and drawings but in a
way it's pretty organized. Old clothes and books take up
most of the floor. The radio plays his wake-up call and
Ludovic sings along immediately. He wears a top and sportive
Bermuda's. There is a dummy dress-up doll that wears some
kinky sizzles and a headphone. He takes some coffee and draws
a dazzling dandy from a roller-girl with booming bonkers.
The mobile is ringing.
LUDOVIC
Hi mom, fine mom, no don't have a
new job yet.
[CUT TO]
2 EXT. THE MANHATTAN PARC - DAWN 2
Ludovic is balancing on his head. The tree tops are providing
long shades and a ladybug is in the grass. The yogi starts
singing 'MY HUMPS' and makes funny moves. A roller-girl
passes by. We see cyclers, joggers, skaters couples are
kissing goodbye.
[CUT TO]
3 EXT. THE SHOPPING STREET - MORNING 3
Series of drive-by shoots.
Sly Stone the street musician in a black furry vest. He wears
rings and braces on his left but not on his right guitar
playing hand. There are bells on his feet, drums on his back
and he sings along, plays harmonica.
A girl in a pink blink sport jacket, a mini stretch skirt and
high sport socks, sneakers runs trough the street passing all
kind of shopping windows. Some people make way for her. We
hear the sound of Sly Stone come closer while the camera
stays with the girl. She's around the corner. She puts on her
diesel sunglasses and pulls out a stunning gun. She shoots
several times. Balls of fluorescent green paint spray splash
on the trendy luxurious furry vest.
SHOOTING GYAL
Gotcha, motherfucker.
Sly stopped playing.
SLY STONE
Where did you do that for? The
animal was already dead when I came
along.
SHOOTING GYAL
I'd rather be naked than wear fur!
She puts the stunning gun away.
SLY STONE
You bitched me up. Futzhead. You
are going to make this up to me
okay. Say yur name?
SHOOTING GYAL
PETA!
SLY STONE
Be cool. It's a fat city baby.
Don't be so picky.
He turns away from the camera, when we see him again his hand
's all over her heart-shaped ass and they walk away.
4 EXT. BUCKTOWN SKYLINE - MORNING 4
Ludovic is running over a field with white flowers, passing
SLY and the SHOOTING girl, we see the skyline.
[CUT TO]
5 EXT. THE HUB - MORNING 5
A flyerboy is selling his goodies, dealing on the sidewalk.
We see some drive by shoots - a bucket of water is thrown
over a slacking hipster. Some more crashers take the water
hose and get some cash for it. (20 dollar bill) Ludovic,
running the deadcat bounce, day tripping gets also splashed!
The camera lens is wet.
[CUT TO]
6 EXT. THE MOTT STREET - DAY 6
A pretty neat deathly girl Vivianne in a yellow hipster
minidress and a flamboyant beanie, high boots puts a red
wooden chair in the middle off the sidewalk with a carton
that says 'Massage - from 5 euro'. Ludovic puts his finger in
his mouth and makes a plopping sound.
LUDOVIC
Rub-a-dub... Hi, what a fab!
VIVIANNE (LAUGHS)
You like a massage?
LUDOVIC
It's such a pretty day. Yes please
tickle my spines and put one leg on
my shoulder, ay.
VIVIANNE (LAUGHS)
Well, have a seat then.
Sunny flares hit the lens and we see some abstract images.
LUDOVIC (SINGS)
It's such a perfect day
The massage ends with a a long-lasting kiss, a happy embrace
and waving hands. The flair hits the screen.
7 EXT. 57TH STREET - SEQUENCE - DAY 7
And the flair is still here, Ludovic running, sightseeing in
shopping street. A flap fish fight, a adorable kissing gay
couple, a flapdoodle and than a yellow cab happens to stop
and the door blocks his way. He does a jumping moonwalk
before he swirls around this rich madame Lucillia who enters
the machine and passes him. She smells good and Ludovic
sniffs like it's fresh air and looks into the sun.
[CUT TO]
8 EXT. PANOMA STREET - DAWN 8
WHAT A NIGHT - Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons. Ludovic is
trying to be friendly to everyone he sees, almost dancing in
the street in his flash pants and transparent knitted
sweater. Walking the grocery of the old, kissing a teenage
girl, showing the way. He stops at a screendoor for Mario's
Pizzeria. Mario wears a Black Sabbath metal shirt and has
fresco tattoo's all over his body.
LUDOVIC
Hi Mario , can I have a Californian
Veggie please!
MARIO
Anything else I can do you for?
LUDOVIC
Yeah, what I need is the heap.
MARIO
Loosen up man will you. Just give
me a second here.
Mario pumps up the volume of the little radio. At first
Ludovic looks a little uncomfortable but he finds his flat
ass and starts to sing along with the Michael Jackson record.
LUDOVIC
She's Out Of My Life
And I Don't Know Whether
To Laugh Or Cry.
Mario sheds a tear.
MARIO
Ooh man, how did you do that. That
was beautiful. Want me to wrap it
up for ya?
LUDOVIC
Nummy! How much do I own you?
MARIO
Take it man, it's yours. It's free.
LUDOVIC
Are you kidding me?
Mario starts crying.
MARIO
No, it's the singing. You remind me
of my late wife.
LUDOVIC
I'm so sorry to hear that man.
MARIO
Don't be. You could really do me a
favor you know.
LUDOVIC
Okay what is it?
INT. MARIO'S PIZZERIA - DAY
The pizzeria carries some boutique pedigree, paisley, great
composites, ceramics, metals, neat tiles, wooden decadence
and some lush tropical vegetation, it's almost magical. The
kanciapa is created behind the kitchen.
There is a huge table over there, lockers, the bicycles are
stabled against the wall. Ludovic sips his coffee and Mario
takes this older platinum bike, a cool retro glam thing, puts
it on the stand. Mario sits down again.
MARIO
Please take this healthy pizza to
Broome Street 421. I have some
very nice friends there. Could you
please sing this message for them?
Mario writes a note.
LUDOVIC
Sing it?
MARIO (LAUGHING)
Yeah, right on. Like you just did.
LUDOVIC
The phutz or phunky?
MARIO (LAUGHING)
The phunky. This ain't no
pimpmobile.
Mario puts one hand on Ludovic's shoulder, one under the
saddle and rides him trough the kitchen. They are both
cheering from joy.
[CUT TO]
9 INT. NYC BROOME STREET - DAY 9
Ludovic is at the door singing. A curly boy with a leather
cap and knitted sleeveless and a girl in a leather vest with
a light green jeans are at the door holding arms, laughing,
almost cheering, enjoying the show.
LUDOVIC
And here is your delicious
delivery.
Ludovic hands the pizza.
[CUT TO]
10 EXT. NYC CHINATOWN - YAN KEE'S HERBAL SHOP - DAY 10
Ludovic puts his bike against a lighting pole and enters the
herbal shop. There are some more customers in the small
paths. A elderly man is behind the wooden desk. Two angry
young man are staring at him.
LUDOVIC
Hi. I'm here for Mario's. Come get
his ginger, pineapple... spices,
blueberry.
YAN KEE
Ah, the snake-heads, good for you.
He's getting a prepared package. Ludovic shows him the
messenger bag and they put the thin plastic YAN KEE bag in it
together.
11 EXT. NYC - THE BRIDGE - DAY 11
A guy squats at the gate, stripping a grapefruit. We are
entering a trailer park, it's muddy so Ludovic walks, rad on
shoulder. We here accordion, singing, clapping, guitar,
violin, clarinet, live music. Street kids playing. The lace
in the caravans makes place for curious faces and gypsy eyes.
Ludovic's looking, walking closer to the music. The kids turn
around him and even some of the adults do. People are
drinking vodka, beer, there's a barbecue.
A very attractive drunk gypsy lady walks out the trailer
that's not far beyond the musicians. Ludovic hands her three
pizza's.
GIPSY WOMAN
You look hungry too. Come inside.
She uses the cardboard to create a
fan. I'm a vegetarian.
She makes a very inviting pose. Ludovic puts his bike against
the trailer. It's clear that he can't leave the bike. The
gypsy woman stand before his bike, she spreads her legs,
raises her skirt, spreads her arms.
GIPSY WOMAN (CONT'D)
No, don't touch is. You can't touch
it. Nah. Pffft.
She does some kind of warrior dance to protect the bike. The
message is clear but somehow the kids are still obsessed with
it.
A man and a woman have put there heads against each other,
they are crying and singing together. Ludovic starts to sing
along. It's hilarious, to see him singing gypsy music in his
hipster outfit. Some people are running away. Are they
scared? No there is a city bus coming... All men look like
pimps and all the girls like whores around here. Even the
kids.
One of the larger young adults walks up to the gypsy pretty
and he shakes her roughly. They are shouting at each other,
almost fighting.
THE KID
Okay. Pssst.
WOMAN
Don't do it. No. Aauch.
Eventually they decide to embrace and share some vodka.
Ludovic can come inside the trailer but he takes it up,
removes his wheel and takes it inside. The woman and Ludovic
are enjoying a meal, drink some brandy.
LUDOVIC
We were totally fucking bored so we
all went down there and got a
derisive hippie tattoo. Mine was a
marijuana leaf, which I've since
had covered up because it looked
like a pizza with wings.
[FADE TO BLACK]
12 EXT. FILMSET - ROMAN - DAY 12
A sheep horde, a barely naked boy and girl kiss in the middle
of a giant slave market. Most people wear sandals, metal or
golden cuffs, tunics, leather belts, trapezes, riding
corsets, chokers, cleavage dresses, sleeveless, leopard
prints. We see a horse stable with baskets and hot servants
are on the run with vases depicting the craft of weaving.
Even camels, tigers and chokers are sold. Farmers enter the
market in hipster riding clothes.
A mistress is lifted by the trunk of a giant jumbo while the
camera moves across some muscled men. Some old woman are
purring just a scratch away. Aylosis rubs Kahnna's chest with
banana's.
AYLOSIS
Here it comes candypants.
KAHNNA (SHOUTING)
Banana's here. Banana's for sale.
My banana makes you big and strong.
We see different camera's, cranes, grid on the giant filmset.
The flycrew supports are clearly visible and we seem them
wired and working amongst the ancient figures like
blacksmiths and leather makers. Beautiful oriental warrior
dancers are on the borders of the temple. Bubble gum movie
star Lucillia Crùz suddenly finds herself broke and
humiliated in the public eye when she is struck in the face
by the notorious Daddy-O-Layne who plays her 'father'. He
struck her what made her nose bleeding.
LUCILLIA (SCREAMS)
Aaaaaaaaoooowwwccccchhs
The scream bangs the bone marrow and the entire set changes
from a slave market fondue into the next 'Cleopatra'.
Lucillia lifts his skirt and grabs his balls. He doesn't look
so happy now anymore.
LUCILLIA (CONT'D)
I can say whatever the hell I want
to say to ya, Daddy-O. You're
bluffing.
The harp players stop playing, camera's stop rolling and the
fly crew drops a huge curtain that falls from the skies. The
lions are growing and the horses pitch. The slave livery is
tight and the kirtles are raised.
Lucillia Crùz looks devilish. When she starts moving away
from the set we see hundreds of people moving aside in a
light panic. Daddy_O-Layne drops on the floor. He seems to be
more dead than alive.
AQUARIUS (WATER CARRIER)
Who's that gyal?
WHORE'S
What did she do?
DANCERS
What did she say?
We see a tiny silhouette on the balcony. This man has an
electric megaphone.
DIRECTOR
Great show. Great show. Lucillia?
The echo scams over the square.
13 INT. FILMSET - CARAVAN - DAY 13
Lucillia runs into her caravan. She changes her hot roman
outfit for her own, pink jacket, ruffled white jeans, puts on
a blue bracelet. She takes up a mobile phone.
LUCILLIA
I like to have a pizza with garlic
and my transportation. NOW!
Lucillia changes shoes, hysterically looks in the mirror lays
her hands on her face, fills the bag and the door opens.
OFF SCREEN
Your transportation is ready miss
Cruz. The pizza courier arrived.
Shall I sent him in?
Shivers are down her spines when Lucillia sets fire to the
caravan with a cigarette lighter and she flees outside, with
the bag.
14 EXT. FILMSET - CARAVAN - DAY 14
It's a hot summer breeze and Ludovic looks pretty showy in
his leather top, platinum bondage bike.
LUDOVIC
Here is your pizza chica. I got a
message. You want to hear it?
He presses the play button of his mastuhblastuh, the mp3
starts playing, very eighties with a fuzzy twist.
Paparazzi's, fans and photographers are lining up. We hear a
hustling Rhodes piano and Ludovic has a very timid voice, a
defunct act. She doesn't scream, she doesn't run, she's
listening to the song.
[CUT TO]
15 EXT. ABC LIFE TELEVISION - PEOPLE - DAY 15
Show News is on. The female presenter announces while we see
a DVE of Lucillia as Roman Slavegirl.
PRESENTER
It seems the famous actress
Lucillia Crùz has stopped the
shooting of the movie 'Fields of
Joy' after the godfather of movies
Daddy-O-Layne and Lucillia got an
argument. Our smashing hit reporter
Ushovia Vex is actually on the
filmset.
We are in front of the burning caravan. Ludovic sings the
love song while police, fireman and safety guards are on the
roll. Tears roll over the eyes of the reckless reporter.
She's making gestures that she cannot talk at the moment. She
points her microphone at Ludovic again and his voice raises
as she has the shot whopped right on Ludovic and Lucillia.
There is a light panic in the crowd.
LUDOVIC (SINGS)
A day in the life of a fool.
It's hilarious and Lucillia loves the song. She kisses
Ludovic and they share this warm embrace, teardrops in her
eyes. His cameo struck the set like a sexbomb.
MERCHANTS
Coo pon dat boy. Look at him go.
FLOWERS
He makes the sun shine in her
heart!
CARPENTRY / VISITORS
Great surf content for my Ipad!
Yeah look this up on You Tube.
The megaphone is sounds again but he's not saying anything
cause the director gets kissed by a spontaneous girl. His
head turns a little red.
DIRECTOR
Splendid, wonderful. Can we now
please all prepare for the next
shot.
16 EXT. SOHO CORNER - EVENING 16
Fatigue, exhausted and famished Ludovic stops at the corner,
leaning against a traffic sign. Hands wedged in his jacket,
his posture slump-shouldered, as if he's curling in on
himself. There is a plastic bag containing some tasty
pizza's. Ludovic can smell her perfume—vaguely citrus,
superclean.
HIPPY CHICK
You're fucking next, white boy.
She gives him the finger and smiles. He shakes her hand,
sliding the two big ones she ordered onto her palm. Ten
dollars in her other hand.
LUDOVIC
Thanks, we care a lot. Chiao Bella!
Ludovic sings 'Mama, I'm coming home' and he rides in the
night.
17 INT. ACE OF CLUBS - NIGHT 17
Ludovic lies on the stage, holding a microphone singing
groovy sixties retro music.
INT. ACE OF CLUBS - NIGHT
Ludovic is dancing in the bizarre gothic crowd, having some
drinks. Ashely leaves but now another girl walks up to
Ludovic and she's pretty cool with him too. Wendy is a
prettier, slimmer, sexy version of Ashely.
WENDY
Say yur name.
LUDOVIC
Whenever I say your name, whenever
I call to mind your face
Whatever bread's in my mouth,
Whatever the sweetest
Wine that I taste
WENDY
Hey, I really got the hots for you.
You sing great.
18 EXT. NYC - LIVING STREET - NIGHT 18
Ludovic and Wendy trip the streets. Ludovic sings 'I had the
time of my life'. She happily walks him to his door but
starts sobbing a bit.
WENDY
So Ludovic. You better get this
shit out of your head. I really
like you but isn't it about time
you are going to take
responsibility.
LUDOVIC (SINGING SOFTLY)
And I never felt this way before.
WENDY
Don't put your talents to waste.
She touches his face and kisses him softly.
19 EXT. URBAN STREETS – DAY 19
Crawling through the jungle, we see a YOUNG RAD WOMAN (POLONA
22), impossibly beautiful. 'ON THE RADIO' the Donna Summer
classic. She looks tired, ragged and worn down as she fights
against the fury winds of Mother Nature.
She takes a red light, a crossing, very dangerous, a stairs
another red light, hump the bump and gets almost struck by a
bus, swindles to the left. She stops and gets an old
fashioned horn out of her backpack, presses a button on
Motorola. She's huffing and puffing.
POLONA
Mario! I won't make this one in
time. You want me to make a call in
advance?
MARIO
Just go there, be cool. See if it
still brings in any money or give
it away. Just shank it baby.
Poloma starts to cruise control.
20 EXT. NYC - THE UPPER LAKE - DAY 20
A group of messengers. PAPA, 47, the third wheel, he's one of
the oldest, outstanding, holding his bike and lurking his
spliff.
PAPA
I quit my job at the rubber factory
to become a messenger.
CECELIO
That's so fucking great, your
legacy is here to build man.
Papa looks at Stola.
PAPA
She has the most potential.
Ludovic, rides in singing 'Can't take my eyes off of you'.
Masha starts to sing along. Some more try to do it now. Papa
passes the smoker to Ludovic, putting his hands between his
legs, making a very funny riders joke.
21 EXT. EVELYNE'S HOUSE- DAY 21
We see a smoking little spoon. A lovely couple FANNY (24) and
FABIAN (26) are having a supper at a wooden picnic-table in
a small kitchen. A little kid is in the highchair. We see
damping pans and you almost feel the smell of chilli
potatoes. The sink is surrounded by a forlorn stove to the
left and a iron dish rack to the right. The cabinets have
some fake golden trimmings.
FANNY
Did you pay the rent yesterday,
sweet?
FABIAN
No, I just hoped you did. I've only
five hundred left.
They put each others hand on the table. Fanny bounces gently
with her head on the surface.
FANNY
We're ruining our lives.
FABIAN
At least we're free to go.
FANNY
You're going nowhere.
She starts some great kissing.
22 EXT. NYC - DRIVE BY SHOOTING - DAY 22
The bicyclists have major tattoos and weave through traffic,
ducking subway steam vents, trolleys, motorists and a sea of
jaywalkers. They're the bike messengers -- a fixture in most
large cities -- slinging satchels stuffed with legal
documents, blueprints, executives' lunches and eviction
notices. We see a bicycle with surf rack system.
We swing over the streets, passing cars and skaters hunting a
flock of birds, taking red light, wheelie, rad, shortcut,
breaking the rules. We see all kind of shots made from the
bicycle and the other way round. They sway, slip and twist
true the cabs, cars and chips.
Two couriers who have endangered themselves stop. They hold
each others faces, realizing that this could have been the
very last time.
We ride along with Polona again. We hear heavy beat music. We
see some wacko's, at the terrace. Polona puts her rad
against a pole and enters Puffy's bar. The guys are looking
at her butt.
23 INT. PUFFY'S BAR - DAY 23
Polona drinks coffee, gets some liquor out her bag and pours
it in. She's trying to write something. Pepe is having a seat
at her table.
POLONA
It's a self-help book Pepe. Don't
waste your time here okay.
PEPE
So what?
POLONA
Okay. Listen to this.
POLONA (READING) (CONT'D)
Why do I fall in love with every
young man I see?
Pepe rubs trough his green punk hair.
PEPE
I change color a lot. Maybe you're
just afraid you might not recognize
me next time, eh.
Polona laughs.
24 EXT. URBAN AREA - NEED FOR SPEED - DAY 24
Ludovic geeks at the second hand fashion shop.
MARTA (ON RADIO)
The banking district to either St.
Clair or Eglinton. Twenty minutes
left on it.
Ludovic types out text messages on the phone keypad as fast
as his thumb can move without looking, and even while riding
through traffic.
25 EXT. UBAN AREA - CROSSING - DAWN 25
Two couriers share the same crossing, track standing for the
red light, Ludovic tails the bicycle club.
HADA (MAN 22)
I'll fucking stab ya, cunt.
ADEEN (GIRL 25)
Sit doon Mozes. What you've got?
HADA
I got a hold on your cookies
Señorita.
And off they go. Riding head over head to get at maximum
speed, almost daring to pick 'm off.
26 EXT. URBAN STREET - NIGHT 26
The smiling and charming Angelqiue Westenwind is also in the
inner city. BAAANG! KRAAAWK! She gets shattered by a city
bus. Her body flies and smashes against a waiting cab fifteen
meters away or so. Her bike is in the middle of the crossing.
She's lying dead, bleeding on the street. The camera work
ascends when you rise with her soul to lonely heights and
daze around the city. It's a savage shock for the brain and
you are afraid to miss a glimpse.
[CUT TO]
27 EXT. SOULFLY - SEQUENTIAL - DAY 27
The camera flies over the crossing, true a wall, a girl
giving instruction, muscle girls in the gym, street workers,
traffic, a toilet, we crash a party. A man wakes up, his
girlfriend stays in the bed. The camera goes outside again,
daylight traffic. The wild and vivid trading world stacked
with fluffy Armani, panty's, high heels and black see trough
dresses, Rolex and pimped limousines with darkened windows.
People are buying expensive lunches at the sidewalk, fashion
show, the booming clubs, throw up cookies, penthouses, man
whores working, neon and shops.
[FADE TO BLACK]
28 INT. THE 27TH FLOOR - MORNING 28
Franco is at the desk in the morning. Olivia walks in and
pulls him aside. Editors race into their offices.
OLIVIA
Ok, good you're here. I need to
talk to you.
Olivia sits on Franco's desk and she's almost giving him the
beaver.
FRANCO
What have you brought upon us?
OLIVIA
Tatadatdatadada! A cheque!
FRANCO
The big bang?
OLIVIA
We are going to sent them by
bicycle messenger, cash and split
the efforts.
FRANCO
Let the end begin!
OLIVIA
The question is where the limits of
arts are or whether art is
limitless. Franco, I want you to do
me a favor.
29 EXT. MARIO'S PIZZERIA – THE SCREENDOOR – DAY 29
A young girl Stola (14), light blue cap, arm warmers, quite
happy.
MARIO
Hey! What can I do for you?
STOLA
I want to be a bicycle courier.
MARIO
What's your age pretty?
STOLA
Fourteen.
MARIO
Hmmmm. Go back to school will you.
She cries.
MARIO
What kind of bike you ride?
STOLA
Glamorous, like everyone else has.
Mario turns around.
MARIO
Hey Marta, please come over here.
We got a new fixie.
30 EXT. NYC - URBAN AREA - EVENING 30
A raunchy bunch of guys hulks out and steals a dozen of
bicycles - bolt shears and grind taxes. Off they go, stunting
and stomping. Some bikes are crashed and trashed. The
terrorists are scaring the skaters at the ramp. People jump
aside. We see neon flashing. We enter the Dirty Boulevard.
Wheels in the air. They sell the bikes all around. Walk to
the bordello's to get laid for free. His signature fiery red
hair is tucked under a snug black baseball cap, which matches
his jeans and sweatshirt.
THE HULK
I got only twenty baby. I just want
you to make me feel good.
You can't really tell if she's happy with all that make-up on
her face but she grasps the money out of his hands.
INT. LUDOVIC's BEDROOM - DAWN
Ludovic puts make-up on his face, foam in his hair. He puts
on a leather dress and suspenders. He makes a phonecall.
LUDOVIC
Hi, I'd like to check in tonight.
FEMALE VOICE
What exactly are you looking for.
LUDOVIC
500 dollar
31 INT. VOID LIVING ROOM – NIGHT 31
Ludovic enters the void as a gigolo and steps into the
limelight. It's a highlife techroom in an art deco styled
gypsy chic. Ludovic wears a fluffy catmask and he barks like
a dog towards a kinky couple that spreads on a zebra couch.
The sunny lad wears a roman very traditional outfit, a collar
with a leash is in her hands and he wears high boots. The
woman wears a dark leather corset.
WOMAN
Hmmmmm, delicious, now come over
here sweet kitty.
The guy puts his wrist on his forehead.
MAN
Aaahw, you look so elegant but you
also have balls. I love it.
We see Ludovic shiver while he is crawling over the floor.
She makes strict gestures with her hands and shows her
friends cock by lifting his robe while she moves her finger,
nodding.
32 EXT. METROBIKE – DAWN 32
The sound of iron tools and Ludovic's new platinum bondage –
a second hand fixed gear racing bike, it's hung in leather
straps in the repair bay.
MECHANIC
When you are riding eight hours a
day, any part that can fail,
eventually will. And probably
dramatically. Check the chain like
this.
The mechanics hands showing him the way.
MECHANIC (CONT'D)
Brakes
We see Ludovic check the brakes.
MECHANIC AND LUDOVIC
Shaft.
EXT. METROBIKE – DAWN
Ludovic waves to the salesman before he is trailing off into
the air like smoke from a cigarette.
33 INT. MARIO'S PIZZERIA – DAWN 33
Ludovic carries the new fixie bike inside the Pizzeria.
Mario's mouth falls apart. Ludovic holds the bike proudly
before him.
LUDOVIC
I ride, I recycle.
Mario with the dough kneader in his hands.
MARIO
Wow, Ludovic that is an incredible
machine.
Ludovic puts the bike on
LUDOVIC
Yeah. It's better to use a fixed
gear bike. We have to show we ride
for pleasure. I got it with this
additional front wheel break at
Metrobike.
MARIO
Ahm great, I don't know what to
say. How did you pay for it?
34 EXT. WAH WAH'S - COFFEESHOP - NOON 34
The couriers like to gather in this raunchy coffee shop.
There is plenty of room on the sidewalk. We see a few guys
arrive and walk out the door.
35 INT. WAH WAH'S - COFFEESHOP - NOON 35
The tables are low-fi and the chairs lazy, a bit luxurious
and the bar's long and traditional. There is some fluorescent
art at the walls. There is graffiti on the walls. We here
live flamenco music. Conversation, round the table.
RACHEL
I live in an old ice-cream truck.
SOFIA
SQUEEEEEEAL FUCK FUCK SHIT FUCK A
CAR!!
CECILIO
The degradation hits the crowds
like a sunny day.
PEPE
Who knows what the hell I did if I
wasn't a courier. I'd be a janitor,
probably for some crappy company.
Rachel starts to knock the wooden table with her knuckles.
She starts singing along with the flamenco. One guitar player
approaches to accompany her, answering her vocals.
RACHEL
The road is seeded with flowers.
This is the only way to go.
Rachel slams a brandy, jumps of her chair and starts dancing
and clapping and sings on.
RACHEL (CONT'D)
Though you may look the other way.
You turn my night into the day.
The guests in the café are cheering and clapping. She sits
down again like nothing happened.
36 INT. EMPTY THEATRE - NIGHT 36
Ludovic flies in like 'Tarzan'. The stage is a jungle and
Lucillia is 'Jane'. A man with some papers and his glasses on
a chord walks upon the stage, he also claps is hands and than
rubs his hands.
LUDOVIC
AHAHAHAHAAAAAAAH
DIRECTOR
Good. Now look at the Plum in the
Golden Vase. Needless to say, the
sex obsessed jungle man is soon
lusting after a new challenge in
the form of Pinky (Lucillia Crùz),
who reminds him of the woman he
lost his virginity to.
The man walks up to Ludovic. He lies himself in his arms
hanging backwards and he nozzles.
DIRECTOR (CONT'D)
So Lucillia. Are you ready?
LUCILLIA
Oh yeah, very much Edward. I can't
wait. You know acting is in my
blood.
The director walks over the stage make huge gstures.
DIRECTOR
For this gratuitous action and
nudity is certainly the film's
raison d'être but to become the
publics hero you'll have to save
your kingdom from demon sorceress.
But now please, it is time to
seduce your lover.
Edward helps Lucillia and lays her in Ludovics arms. Than
they start kissing and they just don't stop. Edward sits
down. Edwards drinks coffee.
LUDOVIC
How's my man in the one dollar
suit. Hey buddy.
37 INT. FILMSET - ROMAN - DAY 37
We see a roman dinner, Lucillia and Ludovic lie at a table,
drink wine and eat. Vines, ornaments, marble. The servants
replace every dish, oil the skin, water carriers fill the
cups. The incense is burning a bronze stand. The place is lit
by candles. There is a statue and a fountain in the room.
It's a suitably bonkers start to a nutty-yet-pleasant noon
with the rich nouveau all suffering from the bi-polar
syndrome. The camera's are not running.
LUCILLIA
Once I did a geisha girl committing
suicide with a sword while
masturbating and pissing on
herself. Obviously the need for
actors to improvise is declining.
We are on a mission to find facts.
LUDOVIC
In a world where film-scripts
travel by e-mail. Electronic
signatures are legally binding! The
business is delicious but it's
struggling! There is not only half
of bike messengers left since a
decade ago.
Lucillia polishing her nails. Making herself comfortable.
LUCILLIA
Life is a journey that goes round
and round.
Ludovic stands up.
LUDOVIC
I can't imagine why the bicycle
variety would have to be part of
the uniquely white-washed niche.
Lucillia stands up.
LUCILLIA
There is no such thing as
predicting the future Ludovic. The
mission is to eliminate everything
that is holding us back.
Ludovic is very disappointed. His head becomes red. He
removes some of his revealing acting venue as a resistance
for Lucillia and her point of view. He'd rather be naked.
LUDOVIC
Don't act so stupid.
38 EXT. ICE-CREAM TRUCK - DAY 38
It's a sunny day. Two single speed bikes lean against the
happy purple truck house. The shed's still working and Rachel
reads a horror comic book in her bikini. A man dressed up as
an ice-cone squeezes true the small door.
FELICE
I'm dressed up as an ice cream cone
baby and I'll expect to be licked!
Deep in the heart of this chaos the innovating photographer
Roxy de la Klerk makes a sway. He enters the scene with a
lovely chaperone, Mario's daughter Marta Gouveia. He starts
to make some photographs.
ROXY
Beautiful. Very nice.
Felice starts stripping and Gianna puts her hand on her open
mouth like she don't think it's really funny her boyfriend
does such a thing again.
MARTA GOUVEIA
I get off on people having a secret
life.
FELICE
It's like the Pizza. You're only as
good as your latest delivery.
39 EXT. MARIO'S PIZZERIA - DAY 39
A raunchy young man with various tattoo's enters the
pizzeria. He puts his sunglasses in his hair.
YOUNG MAN
Mario. I quit the job man. You´re
fair enough but this is way to
crappy for me. I want to go back to
the office.
40 EXT. THE CHAUTEAU - DAY 40
We see a wonderful chateau, a classic architectural
masterpiece from the end of the 18th century. This reference
to antiquity was reflected specifically by the inclusion of
elements from Greek temples. The curtains flutter in the
wind. We peek-a-boo inside the bathroom on the second floor.
41 INT. THE CHAUTEAU – BATHROOM - DAY 41
We see steam and hear the shower. Ludovic is at the mirror
shaving. Lucillia stops the shower, steps out and now she
stands behind Ludovic without a towel.
LUCILLIA
Come Ludovic.
Lucillia pulls Ludovic over the edge of his razor-blade and
tears him into the gypsy world of film, fame and fortune. She
pulls his hand he stops shaving. Than she lays him on a
luxurious cheetah sofa.
LUDOVIC
The barbers don't even shave
straight razor. All we have are
Supercuts.
A phone rings. Lucillia pushes Ludovic aside, jumps from the
sofa, moves the cooler and takes up the mobile phone.
LUCILLIA
I had no idea what I was getting
myself into. You're going to regret
ever talking to me.
Ludovic gets up and wants to calm her down but Lucillia
quickly pushes him back, rubs his chest and grabs his crotch
a little to calm him down. She walks a few steps away from
him.
LUCILLIA (SHOUTING) (CONT'D)
You moron. Who did this. Who
fucking did this?
There is a little silence before Lucillia crawls back to
Ludovic.
LUDOVIC
I worked in coffee shops making
lattes.
LUCILLIA
If it doesn't show, why do it?
42 EXT. SKYSCRAPER ROOF – RED CARPET - DAY 42
A helicopter lands on the roof. Some mobsters come out of the
chopper, walk the red carpet. A young woman, reporter walks
up to this elderly billionaire and his fiancee.
REPORTER
How do you think the perspectives
are here today mister Billybob?
BILLYBOB
It's hard work to maintain
different realms. Dreaming reflects
life problems.
REPORTER
Is the crisis coming to an end?
BILLYBOB
As a rule we claim we wear what we
like to.
43 EXT. NYC - BOURBON STREET - DAY 43
It's a morning rush and Andy checks his papers, his rad
between the legs. He looks up at the address 125. He lifts
the bike and walks in. A charming sexy dressed girl stops him
and indicates he should sign the clipboard. While he does he
talks.
ANDY
Where can I find Elise Peeters?
The girl just looks at him and his heart's beating fast.
ANDY (CONT'D)
Don't. Don't tell me.
SEXY WORKING GIRL
I think you need to go at our
dependence on West Bourbon.
44 EXT. NYC - BOURBON STREET -- DAY 44
Andy bursts out of the probably wrong building and starts to
sprint against the tide. The cars get horny.
We widen out to see ANDY, bucking the flow of cars like a
salmon going upstream.
Het gets to an intersection, starts to cross the street and
just misses being decked by a bus and flips off. He barely
hesitates and gets on his bike again.
45 EXT. SKYSCRAPER - RED CARPET - DAY 45
Billybob walks the lounge. Press is all around him. Any runs
in, bike on his shoulder.
REPORTER
Are you on the ride that bikes
back?
BILLYBOB
Hey young man, what are you up to?
ANDY
Special delivery for Elise Peeters.
REPORTER
Jumps on her high heels. That's me!
Are you kidding?
46 EXT. NYC - THE ROCKET CAFÉ – DAY 46
Roxy puts the back of his hand on his head and acts like he
almost drops to the floor. The Rocket café is such a
prestigious place for artists to display their work that they
pay for the privilege. Marta has it covered in the tags of
her well known sci-fi lady figures, this time they ride
bicycles.
ROXY
Trip patterns, traffic safety and
air pollution. Wow this is great
Marta.
Roxy takes a picture. FLASH!
MARTA GOUVEIA
There is also a real upside to
growing the company and being that
player.
LUDOVIC
Yeah, when you're about to become a
major movie star you don't let a
little heartbreak come in you way,
right?
LUCILLIA
Messaging is like marketing or fake
tits, it might look good, but we
all know it's fake.
ROXY
Smile. Let's do some more pictures
with Marta now.
MARTA
Would you do it?
ROXY
Yeah Lucillia. You wanna ride?
FLASH! Roxy takes another shot.
47 EXT. FORREST – FIELDS OF JOY - DAY 47
Ludovic is on Mario's fixie and Lucillia ride on very classic
yet fast high-tech bamboo bicycle which has peacocks on the
classic steering and they wear idols of hide, fur and felt.
They ride the bushy road to their wooden cabin and the dirty
laundry is hung in the hurt.
LUCILLIA
Oh boy, look at that beautiful
tree! Gee, don't you just love
nature? Holy fuck, the sky!
LUDOVIC
Goddamn, that cloud just turned
into two ninjas fighting each
other! I love you sky, you're so
blue and beautiful.
Lucillia wiggles her ass.
LUCILLIA
Acting is about doing very normal
things in an uncommon way.
Ludovic walks true the sunny forrest and sings a beautiful
song. He climbs a tree and reaches for the sky. He swings on
the branches. Ludovic and Lucillia run around the three. They
run inside the cabin. Lucillia and Ludovic jump on the bed.
Some kitchen tools are on the walls and a huge laptop stands
on a small table. The curtains are white with red squares and
the decorations are very camp and kitsch.
LUCILLIA (CONT'D)
The first time I had sex was on a
mattress in the back of this olive
green ElCamino that also had side
chains to hold the truck bed.
We broke one of the chains and I
felt real bad about it. Oh baby,
we fuck so hard.
48 INT. MARIO'S PIZZERIA – KANCIAPA - DAWN 48
We see close ups, fastening leashes, leather flaps, chains,
collars, trapezes being fastened, skin, hands, turning
body's. It looks like a hard-core movie till the camera
slowly takes a little more distance. We see the inked
athletes such as Tweety Merriman, Sabeen Nolan, show there
picturesque rococo tattoos,several niche accessories like
sneakers, a fluorescent beanie, some bright lace, a helmet
and very tight glam shirts, gloves and scarves.
TWEETY
When he finished, they were so ill.
ADEEN
I was stoked! I'm terrible at
getting tattooed.
SABEEN
How pretty you are, pretty boy.
LUCILLIA
Yah, aaouch fuck you!
Sabeen and Tweety stay cool but they look at Vivianne
wondering what she's up to.
LUCILLIA (CONT'D)
I'm sorry. It's these god damned
shoes. You know how anyone actually
walks in these things.
Tweety, Sabeen and the others they are all laughing. Vivianne
makes a very funny pose.
LUCILLIA (CONT'D)
Like your boyfriend.
He's kinda hot.
49 EXT. NYC HILLS - DAY 49
In minutes that seem sweat soaked seconds, Lucillia is
passing underneath Dial Tunnel and shifting up again. She's
only two thirds of the way up the hill, but the slope is
starting to shallow out. We love the feeling of acceleration
as we fly, muscles burning, out of the steepest section of
the curve. And though I know that in thirty minutes or so
she'll be roaring back down the rims spinning without the aid
at Pink Flamingo's the bicycle animal is practically naked
already, but you firmly refuse to buy until you've whipped 'm
off the saddle and all the rest of the harness.
Two teenagers lay down in the grass. Lucillia drives by. They
push shoulders from excitement.
BWOY
Hey, that's Lucillia, the most
famous courier!
Tweety is almost on her tail.
GYAL
Look, the other one he's more
experienced.
Theb boy and girl take each others hand and run away.
50 EXT. NYC SOHO - PINK FLAMINGO – DAY 50
Lucillia stops in front of the coffee shop and puts her bike
against the wall while she meets some other riders.
Here comes a forty-something ex-footballer from New Zealand
who rides a Kronan cruiser, a late thirties dreadlocked
philosophy masters grad who rides a Trek Alpha road bike and
a twenty-five year old emo rock singer-songwriter who rides a
rusty old Peugot fixed gear. We see dudes in work wear
leaving the next-door hairdresser with niche sixties coups.
The sports man IAN takes of his ski goggles.
IAN
What rookie began carrying my
brands?
Lucillia shakes hands with the guy.
LUCILLIA
Balls to the wall, awesome.
Than of all the scary things he could do he does the
scariest: he smiles and we see his golden teeth.
51 INT. NYC SOHO – PINK FLAMINGO - DAY 51
Lucillia and Marta are at the bar. We see the bartender
prepare some cocktails, cognac, brandy and lattes.
MARTA
A lot of people do come in off the
street. They come in, hang out and
all of a sudden they like to have a
bicycle. I don't know if they
necessarily wanted to but we don't
talk them into it.
Lucillia takes her latte and puts her ski goggles in her
hair.
LUCILLIA
Help the people help themselves.
Robby tickles her arm.
ROBBY
Fuck you, I hope this guy doesn't
hit me. Next thing I know—BOOM—the
loudest screech I could ever
imagine. I wound up ripping the
frontal lobe of my brain from the
skull, which left me with permanent
brain damage. I really sizzled my
noodle.
He drops his keys from the bar, picking 'm up you'd say just
to look at her legs.
52 INT. THE APPLETON'S HOUSE – DAY 52
The former famous painter Frenhofer lives quietly with his
wife on his countryside residence. They are having macaroni
soup. The young daughter walks in, shows her riding outfit.
DADDY
And that's what you are wearing for
work?
It takes her a while to get this but than they all are
laughing.
53 EXT. MARIO'S PIZZERIA – DAY 53
Patty and Mario lean outside against the huge pizza
advertisement that is painted on the wall.
MARIO
Your payment is going to be crappy.
PATTY FRENHOFER
That's just fine. We can work it
out.
MARIO
The city is laced with paths and
uttered with cafés, pubs, bike
shops and helpful ramblers and bike
friendly accommodations. Start with
shorter rides to build up stamina.
54 EXT. BUSY STREET – THE LIGHT POLE – DAY 54
Felice and Patty lean to each side of a huge pole on the
refuge. Cars fly around them on both sides the refuge. They
share a drink.
FELICE
She died here crossing over.
They all die.
PATTY FRENHOFER
Chily Willy! Off they go.
55 INT. MARIO'S PIZZERIA – DAY 55
A hipster fixie, not a messenger. We walk along a vegetarian
café, see some folks smoking grass than we come into a quite
lovely gallery or exposition. There is some nice artwork,
mostly are party people having fun at parties. There is a
table in the galley, you can read some magazine, have some
coffee there, eat a cake like Ludovic.
LUDOVIC
Choosing for zero dollars what
tattoo to take can be very painful,
especially when the tattoo artist
is a very hot girl.
MARTA
I also can't help nerding out on
espresso and home brewing in my
free time. But no worries, I would
love to do it.
Mario adding his words to hers.
MARIO
There's too many tattoo artists and
too many shops. It was never
supposed to be this popular.
56 INT. MARIO'S PIZZERIA – CUPOLA – DAY 56
The heavenly light enters the room. We see Ludovic with a
huge cross on his back and guns on his arms surrounded by
naked angles and some turbo transport technology. Almost all
his skin is covered and it looks fucking amazing! Green
lady's burst out of teeny, tiny bikini's. This ability to
conceptualize every teenage boy dream. Ludovic drinks from a
bottle of Brandy he's far out.
MARIO
I'll never forget Jimmy. How he
didn't want a boss man dicking him
around and that always sat in my
head.
Ludovic starts singing while Mario is finishing the job.
57 EXT. MARIO'S PIZZERIA – DAWN 57
The legs -- exceptionally nice ones -- are attached to a guy
in a leather corset leaning back. A pink-skinned vacationer
in a sequined tank top, she shakes a flabby arm frantically
in the air. Next to her, a younger version of Ms. Pink-Skin
presses her nose to the glass window of 305 Mario's, leaving
a streak of sun block under the "No food, no drinks, no
kids!" sign.
MISS PINKY
Is this it?
Their chaperone fidgets with a digital camera, ignoring his
family. As mother and daughter gawk, a cartoon embodiment of
the classic beach bum pulls himself off his curbside perch
and stumbles toward the wide-eyed out-of-towners. Shirtless,
with a tan verging on burnt sienna, he makes a stark contrast
to the pale legs of Ludovic. Flexing his tattooed biceps, he
lowers his weathered face to the little girl. Then in a
gruff, Marlboro-flavored voice he opens his cracked lips.
MR. PINKY
Yep, that's it. And you are shit.
LUDOVIC
Welcome to Mario's.
The girl and her mother are almost cheering and even Mr.
Pinky enjoys the show. Mario appears at the screen door.
MARIO
Hi, what so what can I do for you?
58 EXT. NYC – URBAN AREA'S - DAY 58
Ludovic is speeding at a few crossings, passing cars and
pedestrians. He gets knocked down by a spandex fashion van.
He tumbles and he's dead. People gather around him. No. he
gets up, screaming from pain and adrenaline. The van stopped
at the other side of the street. He tries to get up but he
collapses again. Some folks touch his bike and rises.
LUDOVIC
Don't you fucking touch it!
He hops towards his rad but he falls down. The police arrives
and Ludovic is loaded. His bicycle is moved to the sidewalk
now. The cars are horny. He's mad and he gets to the
sidewalk, hopping,making himself strong, very aggressive like
a wounded wolf.
LUDOVIC (CONT'D)
What a mess! Don't you fucking
touch my rad again.
He takes his bike and needs to lean on it to be able to walk.
Ludovic screams to the van driver who's like 35 yards away.
LUDOVIC (CONT'D)
Hey you asshole!
Ludovic is on his way to the van. Some people try to stop him
but he's very aggressive. He smashes his broken bike at the
sidewalk. Two more agents in fluorescent vests block his way
so he can't attack the driver. People come to enjoy the show.
LUDOVIC (CONT'D)
Look at this shit!
Ludovic kicks the bicycle.
LUDOVIC (CONT'D)
Look what you've done to me man.
He cries and almost explodes and than crashes to the floor
again, gets up to see if he can attach the driver.
CROWD
Yo Rambo!
59 EXT. METROBIKE – DAY 59
Ludovic's skin is scarfed and bruised. We see the mechanic
calibrate a new rad for him.
LUDOVIC
I've never had any desire to be an
actor.
MECHANIC
Good actors are willing to let
themselves look ugly, stupid and
ridiculous.
LUDOVIC
I did it for the money. And I could
use a little attention you know.
We see Ludovic on his new bike.
60 EXT. THE PARC – DAY 60
A bachelorette picnic. Felice enters the scene dressed as an
ice-cream on his bike. He jumps off his bike and rolls over
the grass. Girls just want to have fun. They all point
towards the party animal Eva.
VIOLET
It's her bachelorette!
FELICE
Hi Eva! I'm dressed up as an ice
cream cone baby and I'll expect to
be licked!
The girls start making strange noises, they gargle and spit
and put their hands on there stomach. One girl stands up and
makes a rapper pose crossing her arms.
HOT GYAL
Yeah. Show us mister ICE.
We see very romantic shots of Felice singing and stripping
and the girls go a little wild.
61 EXT. SOHO COBBLESTREET – DAY 61
Stola is riding, throbbing, looking wears a corset. She stops
at a company building.
62 INT. WIRED INC. – DAY 62
Stola is inside the luxurious building, there are tobacco
plants everywhere, looks tropical, she puts her bike against
the wall.
63 INT. WIRED INC. – DAY 63
Stola takes three mobile phones out the bag and juggles with
'm. This young guy is very entertained and he picks one for
him to have.
MR BIG
Hmmm – I like this one the most
okay.
STOLA
Great choice.
Can I have your old HTC?
MR BIG
Give you my old?
STOLA
I give you my number. I can always
bring it back to you, please.
Stola gets the phone. She walks out, jumps on her bike.
STOLA (CONT'D)
Woei! Olah!
64 EXT. SUBURBIA - DAWN 64
Lucillia stomps and spits her way through explicit gutter
anthems and incessant gloating proving the only thing more
angry and frightening than a scorned woman is a scorned woman
in solitary confinement.
Roxy leans out a car driving around her taking pictures. We
see Lucillia in front of a vintage car which is full of
bullet holes. She wears a leather holster, tight black hot
pants, net panties, her hand is on a golden rod. She takes
the rod out the holster like a gun. We see pictures of it
with the title 'Killing Times!'
65 EXT. STREETLIFE – DUSK 65
Guys and girls put the newspapers on the giveaway stances,
cross town traffic. The papers flow true the city streets,
given away, layed down and picked up by thousands of
passengers. A darkly dressed gothic girl hands a leash to a
guy that's waiting for the 'walk' sign to switch.
66 EXT. FILMSET – ROMAN - DAY 66
The flycrew is running around. All set! 3, 2, 1 Action!
Lucillia removes cucumbers from her eyes and open very thin
white curtains. Horseman are back at the stables and flush
buckets of water over them if they where horses themselves.
67 EXT. MARIO'S PIZZERIA – DAY 67
Marta opens the window, white cheap curtains flatter the sky,
she trips in the sun a bit and sees the riders throwing a
bucket of water at each other and the bikes.
68 EXT. FILMSET – TROPICAL ISLAND - DAY 68
We fly over a tropical island where boxes, cane boots and
leather trunks wash up. There is all kinds of trendy stuff
like fashion, booze and furniture, very ancient stuff.
Ludovic looks strong in his Hawaii blouse and he holds on to
a drifter. His eyes differ from color. He reaches the shore,
his shoulder is bleeding and he lies puffin on the beach.
There doesn't seem to be any danger. He looks in the sun and
trips on the pain, maybe it is lust or hunger. More people
(actors) lie on the beach and they also look modern and
sexy. He stumbles to a hot woman in a white summer dress and
she wakes up. It's Lucillia! More people seem to have
survived the huge disaster. They start to collect the
floating items like the cradles and the bottles. Ludovic
starts building a barbecue from scratches. They are dancing
the whole night, drinking rum and eat fruits from the rich
beach area. They dress up and you see the magic fireflies
giving the party an even more romantic lovelight.
69 EXT. THE CHATEAU – THE GARDEN - DAY 69
Long elegant dresses and classy casuals on this dinner party
in the gardens of Lucillia's Chateau. The man mostly wear
swimwear and shorts. Hansel is heating the barbecue TSSSSSTH.
The wine flows like water. Ludovic and Lucillia are the only
two wearing tattoo's. Max and Kayne cross there arms while
they drink their beer.
MAX
Have you evolved much since you
launched your label?
KAYNE
When we decided to turn it into a
business is when it got a little
weird.
Ludovic is a little separated from the mingling chitting
group. Matilda looks just a little bold and she walks up to
Ludovic.
MATILDA
What have you brought upon us? What
you did had some serious affection
on Lucillia's expertise. I hope
she's not taking anything for
granted.
She pushes him aside and mingles with the flock.
70 EXT. CORNER 42TH STREET – NIGHT 70
Stark angles, creeping shadows, dense, crowded, airless, a
random tangle of steel and concrete, self-generating, almost
subterranean in its aspect... as if hell had erupted through
the sidewalks and kept on growing. A dangling fat moon
shines overhead, Here he comes, a pimp all dressed in black,
purple PR shoes and a big straw hat with a feather. First
thing you learn is that you always have to wait. Everybody's
pinned you and nobody cares. Then you got to split because
there is no time to waste.
PIMP
Quattro Formaggi?
Paloma takes a pizza box out of the case on the front wheel.
LUCILLIA
Big, fat and delicious! Six bucks
mister, cheaper than your smokes, a
six pack, a pole dance, another
tattoo, a parking ticket, a gas
station croissant, a lip ring,
bail, eye candy or a black T-shirt.
SPLITSCREEN - The soulfly shots return
When something surreal goes down in Hollywood it's safe to
assume reality TV is involved. How else would Ludovic Mandrov
wind up linked to 29 year old Top actress Lucillia Crùz?
Here's the story: Lucillia, who stars in the ever popular
'Wild Things' ended up on the Roman Spectacular movie
Empress.
LUDOVIC
I got the hots for you.
ROXY'S PHOTOGRAPHS
It's a confusing story. A former
cheerleader at El Camino High
School, in Oceanside. Lucillia
joins Mario's Pizzeria and covers
up Richards's tattoo of her ex
husband's name.
Lucillia began modeling after graduation and had her break
true as Lola in 'Flicks & Kicks'. We caught up with Crùz to
ask what she really thinks of Ludovic Mandrov and find out
whether television deserves credit for introducing her to
pizza king Mario Gouveia.
ONSCREEN – The soulfy has morphed into drive-by shoots
Lucillia in extreme sexy biker wear on her platinum fixed
gear bicycle she is kissing the air.
LUCILLIA
Baby, are you coming my way?
What the fuck does a piece of Mario Gouveia look like? What
does it taste like? Do you get all your work done by the same
dudes? Let's ask Marta.
MARTA GOUVEIA
It happens naturally, not when you
dream big but when you have
dedication yourself to bring your
dreams to life.
SPLITSCREEN - The soulfly shots return
We see photographers flash, camera's, we here people in
ecstasy and the camera flies to the moon.
The Rules! No bicycle messenger shall have markings on his
body that are potentially distracting to other passengers and
strangers.
Markings that are potentially distracting interfere with the
ability to make calls, endanger the health or safety. Who's
the best? Traci Sleeves won the best price for biker. Traci
Sleeves kisses a skyscraper oscar.
71 INT. THE MACABRE CLUB - NIGHT 71
One Eyed Jacks Toulouse St, New York - two blocks off Black
Alley. The crew is up for some live music and to see Fleur de
Tease - a local Burlesque group specializing in vaudeville
style variety shows like sword swallowing and fire eating and
a violin solo like Emily Autumn.
Tweety is entering the club. People look just a little
disturbed when they see him his usual venue. So he flees to
the toilet, gets the swab and starts cleaning. Everybody is
very polite and puts some money on the dish. He takes the
money and makes his entrance again.
We see some more guys in leather corsets, dresses, make-up,
woman also like to come here in this dancing club. Brian
found his spot in between some tattooed tranny's. He looks
like one too but he still wears his rider gloves and head
protection. We see glowing orange eyes, gaunt and filth.
BRIAN
I had a handlebar stick through my
stomach and rip my intestines out.
I lost a foot of intestine and a
spleen on that one. I had to go to
the hospital holding my guts and
trying to push them back in.
The tranny takes a good look at his tremendous body. He
sticks his tongue out and puts it under his nose.
TRANNY
Really?
TWEETY
Our deal was that we're just
riders. We'd scribble it on our
bicycles. We'd make stencils. We'd
spray paint it on everything.
TRANNY
Aah. You Don't Bring Me Flowers.
Brian making funny poses too.
BRIAN
People would always ask us, What's
Delicious?
The tranny frumbles on Brians street wear.
TRANNY
Wow, what do you use for
protection?
Brian gives him a kiss.
BRIAN (LAUGHS)
Well, I just use these accessories
to show off you know.
TRANNY
Nice!
72 EXT. THE SHOPPING STREET – NIGHT 72
Mario and Marta spray goof graffiti with dark dragons,
heroines and rasputah on the inner city construction boards
to promote his tasty piquant pizza. Its colorful and looks
pretty happy.
MARIO
Most of us don't really have a
filter between our brains and our
mouth, between our mouth and the
air we breath.
73 INT. THE 35TH FLOOR - THE GENERAL MEETING – DAY 73
Twelve rich and good looking elderly man, a yuppie and a
young lady sit in there suits around a luxurious table though
the atmosphere is quite happy and friendly.
YUPPIE
In a town where imitation is the
highest form of flattery, the
office people, we have learned to
live like stars. But we have
forgotten who we really are.
Geoffrey - the messenger enters the room.
GEOFFREY
From all the gifts a woman can give
to a man baking a tasty cake is the
most wonderful!
All the man get a chocolate fruitcake. The young lady is
standing now and shining from happiness, ready to get her
papers on the projector.
74 INT. THE 21TH FLOOR – LOBBY - DAY 74
Lillian is a well dressed hipster and Rachel a snatching
bachelor are in a lobby waiting for a job interview. Rachel
rubs her hands over her knees and tries to break the ice a
bit.
RACHEL
So, how did you got involved?
LILLIAN
I attended myself.
RACHEL
Me too. I know I would kill a
friend to get this job.
A guy in the most expensive suit enters the lobby. He wears a
sun cap and no jacket, silver braces hold up his whopper
blouse. Mr. Big is inspecting the lobby, he takes his time.
MR.BIG
Misses Moon. You are on. Coffee?
Rachel Moon jumps from the seat, straightens her miniskirt
and passes the aquarium.
75 INT. THE 21TH FLOOR – ROOM - DAY 75
Rachel sits on a beautiful lazy chair while Mr. Big is on the
desk.
MR. BIG
The thing is Moon, we are a
financial organization and an
interest in money is crucial.
RACHEL
Can't you trust your instincts?
MR. BIG
You don't need a marketing degree
or intensive training to build an
attention-grabbing brand. But you
just have no possessions or proofs
at all for you have a sense of
business.
RACHEL
Mr. Big, it's just too bad that you
feel this way about it. I'd really
like to help you.
MR. BIG
Having money is the most important
thing about money. When I was seven
years old I decided to become a
clown.
A voluptuous elderly woman comes in.
ASSISTANT
Your dinner has been cancelled Mr.
Big.
76 EXT. OFFICE ENTRANCE - DAY 76
A black Audi stops outside the building. Moon and Mr. Big
walk the door and frolic towards the mobile.
MR. BIG(ON THE PHONE)
I have a cheque from our dearest
friends at LINKROAD INC. We are
supportive.
Mr. Big puts the phone down, stops the engine.
MR. BIG (CONT'D)
Moon, I need you to do me a favor.
He puts his arm gently behind her head.
77 INT. THE FILMSET – TRAILER - DAY 77
Ludovic is getting a haircut to make him look like a wild
caveman. People are all around his tattooed body. Lucillia
enters the trailer. The grime crew keeps rubbing his skin
with oil, there is a water kettle on the cooker and the
trailer is very steamy.
LUCILLIA
Are you out of your mind? What the
fuck are you thinking. We were
making a movie here Ludovic.
Remember?
The crew is focused on Ludovic. Some make up artists try to
push and baffle Lucillia out. Ludovic holds 'm.
LUDOVIC
The snake represents the elements
of survival and adaptation of
various environments of it and
adaptations through mobility. We
are all living a life of
unconsciousness and we have to wake
up. They are changing the script
for me at this very moment.
Lucillia's mouth is wide open. She falls down on her knees
and helps the make-up artists rubbing the oil on his skin and
starts kissing him behind his ears.
LUCILLIA
Fame has never been issue for me
because I come from a loving
family.
Ludovic stands up, stretches his muscles and he looks strict
and ruthless, dominating the trailer.
LUDOVIC
If there was anything gallantry
that means so much to you why don't
you ask Mario to put it on your
belly? Be cool.
78 INT. MARIO'S – CUPOLA – DAY 78
Marta and Mario are in the atelier. They both work
simultaneously on Lucillia's tattoo's. One can only see some
major parts on her back and arms at this time it's all
greenish. Her tongue is already a little loose while Marta
and Mario draw more sketches all over her body.
LUCILLIA
Ban 4-wheel police vehicles, which
drive the wrong way and have no
hope of ever getting to a crime
scene on time.
Marta strokes her hair and hands her the bottle of Brandy.
MARTA
Don't worry.
Lucillia takes a new pose, inviting them to draw more.
LUCILLIA
I want to give you the opportunity
to do what you want
on me.
Marta stops drawing.
MARTA
I always wanted a tattoo from my
dad but could never keep the same
idea for more than a week. Most of
your egos are scantily clad.
Mario gracefully takes Lucillia's hand.
MARIO
Come stand up my dearest.
The sentimental and HOLLOWED OUT SOUND of a ukulele from a
misty gyal playing flamenco and singing about pretty, pain
and jealousy.
LUCILLIA
I drank and smoked weed a little
bit in high school, I was 20 the
first time I tried coke.
Mario takes a mirror so Lucillia can see her own body. He
looks at himself.
MARIO
The first time I did heroin was on
my 21st birthday. My friend Mike
was seeing this girl.
Lucillia seeing herself many times.
LUCILLIA (VERY DRUNK)
I hated dope.
Mario shows her some paintings he has made.
MARIO
I did too. So I wanted to go out
drinking but the four of us were
hanging out a lot.
She points too a wonderful painting.
LUCILLIA
Besides drinking I never did any
drugs.
Mario gracefully takes Lucillia's hand. It takes some effort
to put her at ease, but she does a dancing wiggle.
MARTA
You can shoot crack if you like,
break it down with lemon juice.
Marty takes some brandy now.
MARIO
I'm pretty sure the shop is
haunted. Three couriers have been
killed in traffic. This was a
biker café.
Marta is very close to Lucillia now. She whispers in her ear
while she licks her cheek.
MARTA
Yeah. Sometimes you feel like
someone is close to you or you feel
someone touch your hand but you
look and nobody is there.
Marta and Mario draw more while Lucillia is in ecstasy and
she rides on Marta's leg, kisses Mario behind the ears and
the more sensual Lucillia gets the faster the two sketch the
most marvellous things.
MARTA (CONT'D)
All right.
MARIO
Alky
Lucillia drinks even more brandy and the tattoo machine is in
her flesh now. The Neon sign of Mario's Pizzeria flashes, we
see some electricity.
79 INT. THE CHATEAU - LUXURIOUS SLEEPING EOOM - DAY 79
Lucillia takes on leopard furry wear at the chateau. We see
her totally tattooed body. She walks true a giant ball room.
80 INT. THE CHATEAU - HALL - DAY 80
She puts a package in her messaging back and takes her bike
and leaves the castle.
81 EXT. FAR EASTLANE - DAY 81
Lucillia is still dressed as the leopard and she's speeding
like a running cat through the city streets. She stops and
enters a building at Far Eastlane, she takes the bike on her
shoulder. She walks in, we see models, fashion crew people.
She walks up to the dressing room. A photographer and another
woman who like to enter the door are held back but she just
looks like a fashion model herself. She passes the security
and she hands the package. There is make-up in her messenger
bag. Extravagant people start to kiss to her. We see her have
a coffee with this elderly woman Victoria.
Apparently she's talking about the hairdresser who creates
extreme voluptuous coupes.
VICTORIA VEINS
He got his finger cut in half and
he figured - Ah. lemme get a job -
so he went to barber school and
became a barber.
82 EXT. LEXINGTON 125 - NIGHT 82
Ludovic is pretty much dressed like "Lucille" in a leather
dress and he's waiting to see his blind date. Roxy is taking
pictures some pictures.
LUDOVIC
Jessie J is a lesbian from Essex
who wasn't interesting until I
heard her music.
SPLITSCREEN - The soulfly shots return
There she's standing at the corner, her eyes are hard, as
hard as her body. Roxy using the zoom and than walking in on
her taking pictures as Ludovic is closing. They all have to
laugh.
LUDOVIC (CONT'D)
You don't want to see my worst. Can
I buy you a drink please. It's the
least I can do.
Ludovic and his blind date embrace and her hands are all over
his ass. We see them walking, playing, flattering, passing
African drummer playing on plastic, boxes and old drums, a
kiss and the camera flies over the city again - the city
streets. We ride along with Ludovic and the girl sits on the
handlebars.
83 EXT. BROOKLYN STREET - DAY 83
Lucillia has a donut, some juice at the fruit shop. Talking
to a few guys in track-stand. The camera walks around the
group who makes half a circle, see her cheeks, ending on her
face.
LUCILLIA
My first rad was grandma's and it
smelled like it. When it was time
to buy the next one I could have
bought a cruiser with less options
than a loser at last call. So I got
a Montana fixie and decided my
first rad was going to be my last.
We hear Marta on the Motorola Radio phone.
MARTA (OFFSCREEN)
We got a package at brownstone. Can
we get it now?
LUCILLIA
This is about making your own
moves. Bye!
She makes a turn on her back wheel spurts away.
84 EXT. SUBURBIA – DAY 84
We see a kid on his BMX on a very sharp fence, balancing. We
see his eyes in the morning sun. He wiggles and falls down,
could have hit the spies. Than the boy tries again and he
reaches the other side of the fence. Than we see more ticks
like jumping a fence, rad moves, looping on trees, walls,
etc. A girl is balancing on the railing of a bridge, than she
jumps, makes a rad and lands on the sidewalk.
85 EXT. THE FILMSET – THE CIRCUS - DAY 85
Half the filmset as gathered around Lucillia's trailer. We
see it from up high as we fly in and enter the trailer with
the director. The mobile is loaded with people. Who's the
biggity guy with the mustache?
DIRECTOR
Lucillia my dearest. Don't be
afraid. Man won't stop to sex you
up just because of your tattoo's.
He peeks behind her satin dress, to inspect the unrevealed
parts.
DIRECTOR (CONT'D)
It's great to notice chrysanthemums
and magnolia's flourish on your
beautiful body. Though I do think
the continuity of our project may
have been severely damaged.
Lucillia takes of the dress.
LUCILLIA
I adore our fans and I want them to
be happy and excited when we put
out a new movie, but as far as
putting myself out there I couldn't
give a shit.
Marty gives her another dress while she turns and shows her
impressive tatted body.
MARTY (PRODUCER)
Along the way we will have to deal
with purists who think the movie
will never live up to their deal
without their admittedly ill-fated
cameo's.
Lucillia puts on the new very revealing roman dress.
LUCILLIA
For some of you a tattooed body may
look like complete shit but we
should be proud of it.
MARTY (PRODUCER)
Just because the movie is in a
positive state of production of
mind doesn't mean that our lives
don't contain the same sense of
melancholy that has endeared our
countless fans for years.
The director puts his hand on Lucillia's cheekbones. Than he
walks the door and turns around.
DIRECTOR
Fine, we will reshoot all the close
ups and even add many more tattoo's
on the set. We start tomorrow.
The director enters the trailer again, picks up a magic
production marker and starts drawing a tattoo on Marty's arm.
Everybody is very happy especially Lucillia who embraces him.
86 EXT. DRESS UP PARTY – NIGHT 86
The weather is great and we see happy people on a dress up
party, dancing, eating just enjoy the company. Poppy is
riding a mini bike over a small river into the tit-rocking
party but he didn't even stop the rants and raves.
POPPY
I used to try skating but I always
ended on my bum! I'm a big Jackass
fan, one French Fried Fuck.
The both are excellent dancers.
TWEETY
I went suburbia today. It came at
me ninja-style and bit me on the
leg, then did it again and got me
on the head so I kicked it.
Everald is not dressed up, he always looks like a punk rock
junky.
EVERALD
Look, I can do magic with my cock!
I'm getting pissed while it's still
in my trousers!
Rachel is dressed as a fairy with high silver boots.
RACHEL
Charity gives without investment!
87 EXT. MARIO'S PIZZERIA – SCREENDOOR – DAY 87
A handsome guy Jeff and young woman Cindy appear at the
screen door. They pretty much look like a bored married
couple.
MARIO
What can I do for you?
The woman shows a badge.
CINDY
I'm a federal agent. Jeff is my
associate from Interpol.
JEFF
Hi. You own this place Mario,
right?
Mario stays cool and polite as usual.
MARIO
Pizza, Tortilla, Lasagne, just some
fruit juice to cheer up a little?
Cindy puts her elbows on the counter, her breasts pop up.
CINDY
We've had complaints about your
company taking over the city.
MARIO
So you just walk my screendoor here
with your loaded guns. Our children
come here to play. My customers, my
couriers, we are friends, we're
just like one big family.
Jeff and Cindy look at each other.
JEFF
It's just a standard routine sir. I
just flew in from Miami. Please.
Mario walks outside puts his hand on each of their shoulders.
Walks them away from the screen door.
MARIO
All we have is some delicious
delivery and a message to people to
stand up for what they believe in
and take action about stuff.
Cindy puts her hands in her thighs.
CINDY
Jeff has been convinced at least
one of your couriers is
transporting at least one or
several cheques up to 5000 GBP
each.
Mario points his finger in the sky.
MARIO
My bikers are young and healthy, an
easy target for people to fuck
with.
No Cindy and Jeff put their hands on Mario's shoulders.
JEFF
We'd just like to check the
pizzeria for a moment. Don't worry
about it. At this time it's really
just a standard routine.
88 INT. THE CHATEAU – DAY 88
Lucille is drawing a very classical painting. She gets the
unnerving feeling that she is not alone, she is being
watched. It takes a little while before Marty crossed the
hall and he gently puts his hands on her shoulders.
MARTY
Beautiful.
LUCILLIA
Thank you.
MARTY
In exchange for arranging the
additional scenes would you mind to
seduce Julliet my fiancée. She's
very disappointed I'm not the one
who's controling this production.
Lucillia looks very serene and free, she smiles and looks
back.
LUCILLIA
No strings attached?
MARTY
No, really that's just it. I just
want all of us to have some fun
Lucillia. Oh my god. Incredible,
eh the tattoo's and the painting.
89 INT. THE CHATEAU – DAY 89
Ludovic and Lucillia are at the giant dining table. It's
richly covered with dishes full of tapas and fruits, candles.
Ludovic nips from his red wine.
LUDOVIC
"No strings" means they can do
whatever they want, whenever they
want, in whatever public place or
eye they want.
Lucillia takes some vines, she stands up, has a servant
remove her cape.
LUCILLIA
There's nothing in my life that's
normal. Be happy.
Ludovic eats a banana with hot chocolate. Ludovic stands up,
makes a golden rod or maybe a microphone, a gun from the
banana.
LUDOVIC
We are delivering your pay cheque,
or your Uncle's divorce papers,
your Mother's biopsy. But the best
time to meet us will be out on the
streets.
Lucillia makes a hat from the vines. She makes slaughter
tooth from some mini wraps.
LUCILLIA
Do you really think anybody knows
what the White House likes to hear?
Like we indeed wear the fashion of
today?
Ludovic takes up his chairs, dances with it to the other site
of the very long table, puts the back-side up front, starts
eating her food, drinks her wine.
LUDOVIC
Life never goes according to a
plan.
Lucillia can't help but laughing and this makes Ludovic laugh
and the wine sips out his mouth from joy.
LUCILLIA
Moron. How am I going to introduce
you to me guests?
She stays cool, stands up, caresses his head and walks away.
90 EXT. THE CHATEAU – MORNING 90
Ludovic is dressed up in a very revealing courier outfit, rad
on his shoulders. He has to give the bike away to the
chauffeur but he can't. He pulls it back, puts the bike on
his shoulder again.
LUDOVIC
Hey hooo. Easy boy.
The chauffeur stands back.
LUCILLIA
Juliette is a lovely woman. What
are you so afraid of?
Lucillia kisses Ludovic and removes the bike from his
shoulder, so the chauffeur can take it. He jumps on the back
of the car so he can't put it on the standard, just sits down
on the trunk, hopping.
LUDOVIC
I say you are wrestling with the
prospect of motherhood. I thought
you were with us to become a person
of substance.
Lucillia takes some tools to fix a bicycle and she flattens a
tire of the car.
LUCILLIA
You're the barfly. Marty and me, at
least we are fighting against the
odds. You can't punish me just for
revealing the truth.
The driver is walking away, far away.
LUDOVIC
You think we live in heaven but
you're living in hell!!!
91 EXT. THE CHATEAU – DAY 91
SPLITSCREEN - The soulfly shots return
It's a stormy day and the snow is really piling up outside.
We see riders with ice on their chins and mouth. We see them
slip, fall, block and shiver. The camera flies over the white
landscape and we fly with the chilly winds passing Ludovic,
Stola and Tweety, they almost freeze to death and stick to
the steers. Tweety's phone is ringing. He tries to answer but
the horn falls down in the snow from the cold. The ice is on
there clothes and we clearly see there is not much
progression in bicycle messaging right now.
The lower East Side was once the exclusive domain of NYC
poorest immigrants and we see some brazen drug dealers. A
messenger girl walks on glittery disco shoes true the snowy
whites. She wears a green furry coat and orange hot pants.
She takes a paper at the metro.
Lucillia's been drugged the papers speculate. Did anybody
biff the bezonga's? And what the fuck are we saying. Are we
reinventing the wheels?
What would Lady Gaga do? Get an ankh on her hip? She's my
fashion icon. I guess she'd play ace of spades, on this
addiction, she'd strip their dark and stormy punk tattoos. We
see all kind of icy flowers on the bar windows and people
taking of there winter clothes to look sexy inside the bar.
The warm clothes are Eskimo styled.
Lady Gaga brought traffic to a standstill as she filmed
footage for her new TV special on the streets of New York.
The pop superstar, dressed in little more than a leather
jacket and tights, had cameras following her as she and her
father Joe stopped by a deli in downtown Manhattan as part of
her forthcoming concert show. The police were alarmed to stop
the commotion.
92 EXT. CROSSING - THE METRO – DAY 92
The metro-train comes from under the streets, hits a giant
paper billboard, goes right true it becomes a part of city
traffic. Roxy making pictures, a spectacular sight.
93 INT. THE METRO – DAY 93
Lucillia is in the metro, where it's quite comfortable. She
wears her messenger bag. She's on the radio phone.
LUCILLIA
Rose Evans is just an elderly woman
who has lost her husband after she
is convinced that he was abducted
by aliens.
94 INT. THE 27TH FLOOR – DAY 94
Franco and Olivia are at the desk. Editors running around
gulping with hot news and financial information.
OLIVIA
One of our uncovered cheques has
been verified by Interpol.
She is cleaning up her desk, neurotically.
MR. BIG
We have put to must trust in her!
OLIVIA
Look who's talking. I never needed
a second ranch. Edward did. You
pulled me in.
FRANCO
Let it bleed.
OLIVIA
No.
Olivia stands on the desk, loosens her scarf, she's out of
control. She makes a phonecall.
OLIVIA (CONT'D)
Marty. We've sent these cheques all
over town. We still have teams in
the fields. We must do something.
MARTY
You're not making this easy.
95 INT. MARTY'S CAR - DAY 95
Lucillia is at the front seat, Marty drives.
MARTY
They get paid big bucks not to
worry about stuff like that.
LUCILLIA
Who cares?
MARTY
Julliete is taking a dancing class
now.
LUCILLIA
I suppose I can help you with that.
Lucillia looks very dandy and she steps out of the expensive
car.
MARTY
Now have fun. Don't do anything I
wouldn't do ai. Bye!
Lucillia bends in the car to kiss goodbye.
96 INT. MARIO'S PIZZERIA – DUSK 96
Red curry on the pizza. SPLASH! Some photographs appear on
the surface. We see the totally tattooed bodies of Ludovic
and Lucillia and they put there hands on each other's
belly's. There are party and festoon ornaments, confetti,
it's Mario's birthday. Everybody is singing and there is a
giant pizza pie with candles. You'd never believe this is the
big league. There is a lot of booze, cocaine, hippie dancing.
PAPA
You must be out of your mind, crazy
to ride like you did this week.
Papa rubs his muscles.
TWEETY
I need the sky, trees and flowers,
they are always there to relax and
inspire me. I like the action. Love
is the movement. Hmm thanks, get
with it.
Lucillia and Juliette are slow dancing, Marty looks very
amused when Lucillia pushes her ass against his tool. Stola
leaves some grass loving kids and walks up to Ludovic.
STOLA
So you're the big juice now that
you got yourself a gang.
LUDOVIC
Yeah, something is going down here.
Stola starts kissing him.
97 INT. GAME PLANET – DAY 97
A new punk chick is having coffee with Marta.
AMBER
My boyfriend and I just moved to
New York and even thought our
sublet fell through and we've had
to move eight times in ten days, I
love it. There something magical
about this city.
MARTA
There are free kittens next door.
You can join the rock steady crew.
98 INT. THE WILDSIDE – DAY 98
It's Saturday night and the strip is hot. But these are sad
girls, we see them hang out on the streets at night taking
strangers on their side. You ask yourself who they really
are. We see frozen dudes in the gutter with signs like 'NO
FOOD, NO JOB, NO CLOTHES'. A passenger look at his Rolex.
WHAM! A chick pulls his pants down and he wiggles like a
penguin. There goes another one with his suitcase in hand.
Sabeen and Vivianne enjoy the view.
SABEEN
Can they work? If not, why not? If
so, why?
FELICE
Is it morally or ethical wrong? If
so, why? If not, why not?
SABEEN
Which variations of threesomes are
more likely to work than others?
FELICE
I definitely go for Female Female
Male.
SABEEN
Really? I think that's a-social.
I've always put my trust in men.
They are both laughing. A gyal is approaching for some hot
pizza.
HOT STREET GYAL
I'm hungry. Thanks a lot you guys
are the coolest, really.
SABEEN
Sip on that.
They sing and dance a little SHALALALAHALALA.
99 EXT. POPSTACLE ROAD - DAY 99
Felice and two high brow fidelity clerks walk the freezing
streets. Felice is making giant impressive gestures and does
some slacking moves. He made himself some devilish horns from
two ice-creams.
FELICE
The next movie actually involves my
wife naked, but wrapped up in a
blanket and eating ice-cream which
sounds pretty goddamn adorable.
She's so beautiful she'll haunt
your dreams forever. AH well if
you're interested I hear you
calling ay. It's been a pleasure
talking to you.
They shake hands, Felice is fooling around.
100 EXT. ROAD TO AIRPORT - DAY 100
We hear bombastic rap music, Lucillia rides the airport. We
see fly surfers or kite surfers. She watches the planes
coming in.

Lucillia is running the rocky shore. Looking if there are any
vessels on the skim. [crossfade] We see a kite surfer.
102 EXT. FILMSET - TEMPLE OF LOOM - DAY 102
Ludovic sits on his knees in a loincloth. Lucillia sits on a
throne and looks pretty much like Cleopatra or whatever you
like. There are nice curtains and some slaves are providing
her with fresh air and some ranks. A golden Persian carpet is
on the floor and golden candles are providing sufficient
light to see the expressions.
LUDOVIC
We come from Egypt, France, Africa.
What could I do, where could I go
without you? Just frightening the
enemy? Accepting my fate, you would
have commanded me to go.
Ludovic falls down on his knees.
LUCILLIA
Your eyes filled with hatred. Tell
me Why. Because I ran away? They
tell fabulous tales.
Ludovic is kissing the floor.
LUDOVIC (CRYING)
They told me your where dead!
Ludovic stands on his feet.
LUDOVIC (SCREAMING) (CONT'D)
Trying for what!
Ludovic falls down to the floor.
LUDOVIC (SCREAMING) (CONT'D)
What do you want you bastard! And
what have you done to Sonja!
Lucillia gets from her throne. We see her heavenly tattooed
body from Ludovics point of view. She walks up to him and his
face is under her thumb.
LUCILLIA
You can't escape. That's just out
of your control. She tramps him and
walks out the giant meeting hall.
103 EXT. FILMSET – WINTER - DAY 103
We see Ludovic and Lucillia kissing at the filmset. They are
totally off screen. The director calls for action. We see
rows of 'warriors' cross the desert.
104 EXT. NEW YORK SKYLINE - DAY 104
We see endless rows of cars stuck in traffic. Some girls are
cleaning the windows of the waiting cars. People are sleeping
in the car, dancing, singing, ringing, they make love. A guy
walks true the cars and tries to sell watches and jewelry.
Some hippies are spreading pamphlets. A flysurfer jumps over
the road!

engines, waiting to get their pedals to the metal.
106 EXT. THE URBAN TRAFFIC – MANHATTAN – DAY 106
The lights turn green and ten thousands of cars start to
drive. We see a woman with a pram, she has to flee to the
sidewalk. Scholars are driven in the grass. We see millions
of cars waiting. Two boys cross the street, topping a soccer
ball. A BMX freak runs over a Cadillac and flees to a cycle
path.
EXT. EAST 51TH STREET – DAY
Polona just pulls on a T-shirt and she opens her window. She
stretches and yawns while the lined up cars slowly pass by.
She shuts the windows.
107 INT. THE CARWASH - CAR – DAY 107
We see scared faces inside the carwash.
108 INT. CARWARS – DAY 108

brake, avoid and turn away.
109 EXT. THE GODSPEED STRIPBAR - DAY 109
Tweety enters the door in his street outfit, just left his
bicycle and some guests are looking like they have entered
the wrong place. There a bunch of sexy girls and boys
dancing.
Vivianne and Rachel are at the bar. There is attention for
them everywhere and some people may be mistaking them for
working girls. The stripper girls pull Tweety by his arms and
they touch him, he makes different spins and it's almost like
he's daring to dance off. Some mobster dudes are on a
rotating table. The dancers tear him on. They kiss him and
than he sways to the bar, to Vivianne and Rachel. A guys is
washing some glasses behind the bar. Tweety whips the sweat
from his forehead.
VIVIANNE
Rachel likes Brandy so much she's
about to change her sure name.
RACHEL
Delicious booze chugged in the
clubs.
TWEETY
Every gang is the same and here is
the proof. Who gives a shit about
mainstream?
VIVIANNE
It's a different kind of buzz doing
delicious delivery like pizza.
RACHEL
There's a solitary thing, here -
this is insane.
110 EXT. NYC – URBAN AREA'S - DAY 110
SPLITSCREEN - The soulfly shots return
Every day they pre-define the word extreme by going up, down
and getting over it. You dream to conquer the world today.
Everyone wants a piece. Hell, you could be an astronaut!
Every hero fights for a name. Death lies before as we ride to
eternal youth. Our profits went down 20 percent. Accuse the
world largest bank of fraud but there is no evidence. We are
all involved man. A good day, a bad day— it's all part of
going through the changes. You have no idea what we can do.
We've detected materials to build nuclear weapons. Fighting
against the odds.
Couriers are trying to form groups to dominate the streets.
We see them fool around with roller skaters and boards they
hang on to cabs and little trucks. We see teenagers - one on
steer crash in garden. Spraying water with tube.
111 EXT. THE SHOPPING STREET – DAY 111
Poppy is driving around with a laundry box on steering wheel.
He stops at the dirty boulevard and walks the box in and out.
The girls grab in the bag, some start to change outfit.
He´s about to turn around and leave.
NINA
Aah. Thank you so much. Come here
sweetheart.
He walks up to her and she really tries to turns him on,
riding him like a little dog. She gives him some paper money,
a tip. Touches his thing and pulls him a Little further into
the bordello. We see Poppy leave with a bra on his head doing
a funny walk.
112 EXT. THE RED CARPET – DAY 112
SPLITSCREEN - The soulfly shots return
Billybob steps out of his chopper that just landed on the
skyscraper roof. His no-nonsense glare and distinctive comb
over as instantly recognizable.
REPORTER
Did you ever wonder about the case
for populating universe and how we
get there? First off all you need
to get out of this identity crisis.
Or has the price of beans gone
trough the roof to make a big snowy
hole?
BILLYBOB
I think most people in this
business are convinced every job is
the last job they'll ever see.
REPORTER
Lately we all play our work like
that. Making it fucking great just
in case it's the last - because you
never know. We've all seen the
fixies causing major traffic
problems!
BILLYBOB
What is not always recognized, is
the uneven development within the
so-called advanced economies.
REPORTER
Blaming dumb couriers for things is
nonsense?
BILLYBOB
If all else fails, I'll just drink
to much brandy and jump around
naked hoping people see how much
fun it was and they join me.
BMX bikers make high jumps as they are flying before the
skyline.
113 EXT. THE GODSPEED CAFE – DAY 113
Lucilia is talking in the loaded place. There are a lot of
chaps & chicks that buy spandex just to hang out with the
couriers these days. When you get to know the streets, the
money comes in eventually.
FELICE
I don't bother wearing my opinion
on my shoulder, I'm just out there
doing what I do and want to
appreciate everyone for what they
do.
LUCILIA
I'm constantly perving on Megan
Fox, I have a poster of her on my
wall.
PARTY BOY
Really? That makes two of us eh.
STOLA
So what are you up to when you're
not out tearing it up?
LUDOVIC
She spends 25 hours a day on the
road getting everyone in spandex
and corsets and after the job she's
sexing up trash house parties.
SOFIA
I secretly have a passion for
dressing up you know.
114 INT. MARIO'S PIZZARIA - ROOF – DAY 114
Marta and Lucillia are standing on the roof, Lucillia is
chord jumping while Marta hangs the laundry to dry. We see an
airplane flying over.
LUCILLIA
I'd like you to come to the filmset
to help us out.
MARTA
Really?
LUCILIA
We have plenty of fake tattoo's to
be done.
Marta puts some more vintage at the line.
MARTA
Yeah I like to.
LUCILIA
You want me to chow down a box of
cookies to Rosanne?
MARTA
Nice! Don't hang out and don't talk
to strangers. Go directly to ma's
house.
115 EXT. THE PARC – DAY 115
Off she goes. Lucillia watches the children play in the parc.
She rides on very gentle and subtile, just looking good.
VRRRROOOM! A car almost rips her from her bike. She pulls
onto Rosanne. Ready to drop her the cookies her speedy senses
start to tingle, shaking and she turns to look back and sees
the same black Maserati come around the corner full Starsky a
Hutch-like, making a beeline right on to her. She bunny
hopped, diving to the curb and onto the lawn, hitting the
ground. She jumps to her feet and poses to attack.
The booman pulls out his cigarette and flicks it at her and
he hits her square in the chin. He got back in his bad-mobile
and speeds away down the street, only to find out it was a
dead end. So he comes back towards her, crossing the centre
line driving straight at me. I just drove straight at him
head to head, banged his car, hit the door tumbled on the
street. She got up, noticed his driver-side lock had been
pushed inside the rusted-out piece of shit car frame from her
kicking it.She swings her bag and grabbed my cell and
threatens to phone the police. As I went into the drop, the
woman the crossing asked.
WOMAN
Are you okay?
LUCILIA
I'm just fine, thank you. We're
both idiots.
116 EXT. ROSANNA'S APPARTMENT – DAY 116
When she enters Rosanna's house she is very delighted to see
her. A warm long embrace almost like she meets her own
mother. It is hard to discern her appearance in the low
light.
LUCILIA
First I was afraid, I was
petrified. What do you want from
me?
They take a seat at the window, cosy table, have some tea.
ROSANNA
For you to be able to find the
strength that I know you possess.
The strength to inspire, to lead,
to rule.
She haggles and takes on of the cookies.
LUCILLIA
I reckon I'll be contributing my
homemade 'special' brownies at
Wills and Kate's wedding and spike
the luxurious teas with some magic
mushrooms.
Grandma rising, hey eys are twinkling like the sun in the
Amazone rivers.
ROSANNA
Backing a fucking cake is the
nicest thing a woman can do for a
man.
117 INT. MARIO'S PIZZARIA - NIGHT 117
Ludovic is wearing chic underpants and apron. He is doing
some dishes, cleaning the pizzeria. Lucillia sits on the
table, changing her riding clothes and accessories.
LUDOVIC
I grew up in Jersey and I'd never
been anywhere besides New York.
Marta comes walks in from the atelier. She wears a sleeveless
shirt and there is some paint on her arms.
LUDOVIC (CONT'D)
I didn't understand the process of
making movies, I didn't know
Sundance or Cannes.
She's standing next to Lucillia who's just about to step in
her mini-dress. Ludovic didn't notice. ZOOOM the oven rings.
He takes some gloves to open it.
LUDOVIC (CONT'D)
I'd get drunk every day on beer and
blackberry brandy.
Marta zips Lucillia's minidress.
LUDOVIC (CONT'D)
The only thing I know about
California are palm trees.
The cakes are out.
LUDOVIC (CONT'D)
TADATADADA
Marta and LUCILLIA take a little piece of cake and kiss him
on the cheeks, caress his head.
118 INT. BOULEVARD - DAY 118
A guy with a straw hat and a flared string zipper pees
against a palm tree and some flowers. A bicycle chick with
peacock feathers on her steer passes. There is fruit in her
cane hamper and she swings around a muscled construction
worker in a fluorescent little pants. She gets so distracted
she nails the tree and the sensation is a coconut that drops
on the straw hat. They both fall down but it's been a lucky
blow and they start kissing.
119 INT. MARIO'S PIZZERIA - CUPOLA – DAY 119
Tweety and Mario are in the atelier. Tweety looks at some
paintings Mario has been making. He has a giant new tattoo on
his back. It's a pretty neat fresco, very colorful and
fruitful.
TWEETY
I've seen messengers risk their
life on every delivery. For
himself, for the city.
Mario is cleaning up his tools.
MARIO
Of you go! New colors, new look,
new you.
TWEETY
We can't risk what little cash we
make on some galloping nag!
Tweety opens a bottle of wine. PLOP.
120 INT. THE FORREST – DAY 120
It's a sunny day. Lucillia and Ludovic play romantic chase
games in the forrest. The shades, the leaves, heaven is a
place on earth. Lucillia looks truly happy cause she has
found such a niche friend in Ludovic, she smiles and she
caresses him. Lucillia's phone rings.
LUCILLIA
Hi!
Lucillia listens. She turns to Ludovic and she holds his
shoulders.
LUCILLIA (CONT'D)
We are crushed on the streets like
peanuts. Five crashed last week.
Ludovic falls back and looks at the ground like he's been
beaten. He raises.
LUDOVIC
Let's have him here.
Lucillia starts plucking her vest.
LUCILLIA
Please, sent them to my castle.
PHONE VOICE
All of them?
Lucillia and Ludovic are nodding.
LUCILLIA
Yeah.
121 EXT. WILLIAMSBRIDGE – DAY 121
Summer in the city. Sofia and Stola are doing a wheelie on
the bridge.
STOLA
Do we test the person before we
hire them?
122 INT. THE CHAUTEAU – KITCHEN - DAY 122
Ludovic and Lucillia are eating – this time they sit at a
small table in a beautiful but much smaller kitchen and it
seems they have made the food themselves, especially because
the kitchen is one big mess and nobody is cleaning it up.
The phone rings.
MARTY (OFF SCREEN)
My lawyers can't help on this one.
Nobody see's a profit in it.
Besides it's risky buzz. I really
tried, you know.
LUCILLIA
What about the tools, the
hamstrings, plexus, gears, locks,
chain, radio's and mobile phones?
MARTY (OFF SCREEN)
My people sell houses, cars, not
bikes to beggars who live in old
trailers. I'm sorry. They said
wheelers get weak bones. No wonder
they break 'm all. They're just
too dumb Lucillia. I will try again
but I'm afraid there's nothing I
can do.
LUCILLIA
I don't ow you fucking shit. And
what if anybody hits me? You're
going to say just the same? I risk
my life doing these delicious
delivery's.
MARTY (OFF SCREEN)
You don't have to anymore. Instead
help Mario out baking the pizza for
a while.
LUCILLIA
Fuck you very much Marty. I'll be
out on the streets soon. You better
put things to work. Paper cheaper
than electronic ink.
She breaks the connection. And aggressively flings the mobile
on the table.
LUDOVIC
I hoped you would heal from these
psychometric possessions.
Lucillia slaps him in the face.
LUCILLIA
Wake up asshole.
123 EXT. NYC - MANHATTAN - DAY 123
We see the American flag on a shopping building. People are
getting there groceries and food on the streets. NYPD clippes
the locks of hundreds of bikes along Houston Street and
tossed them into the backs of trucks. Roxy taking pictures. A
flock of pixies couriers gathers in the area.
LUDOVIC
Daffy or Daisy?
Felice is dressed as a bunny. Next to him is the interpol
specialist and Cindy.
FELICE
I want to make every celebrity feel
like a regular person and every
regular person feel like a
celebrity.
LUCILLIA
The great couriers are legends
but they have the same names as
your corrupt city officials.
JEFF
What should I do, have the entire
NYC police department arrested?
LUDOVIC
Citing security concerns that bikes
might be secret pipe bombs.
TWEETY
We have teams in the fields all
day.
CINDY
Stop it! I'm no crackpot. Giddy up!
124 EXT. NYC - SQUARE– DAY 124

butterfly song.
126 EXT. THE CHATEAU – ENTRANCE – SOULFLY - DAY 126
A car drives the lane. Cindy and Jeff come out of it. They
see the pony play games. The sweat is on there heads. They
check radio's, the guns. They look at each other, leave the
car open. The decide to kiss and hug a bit to increase their
'safety'. They ring the bell.
127 INT. THE CHATEAU – RESTROOM – SOULFLY - DAY 127
Jeff, Cindy, Roxy and Lucillia are having a guided tour.
ROXY
Couriers are carnal beings; if a
bloke just comes round in our
hospital after having his leg
ripped off, and he is in tremendous
pain, he'd still go, 'Ooh! Look
out!' and turn his head if a pretty
nurse passes by.
NURSE
The most couriers put their trust
in the streetwise behaviors. The
city is a rollercoaster and they
are having a ride.
CINDY
So why do you have these people in
you're house.
LUCILLIA
Mostly crashes with cyclers are not
penal because you can hardly see
them swank.
JEFF
Yeah eeh, Roxy listen up. I have to
ask you something.
Jeff's cheeks are turning a little red.
LUCILLIA
What's up?
JEFF
Well eeeh, do these revalidating
people here meet each other? Do
they do well who shall I put it
kinky games?
ROXY
You'd like to join them and work on
their recovery?
Roxy takes a picture. FLASH!
The next room. A big guy lies bound to his bed one leg up in
the air.
BIG GUY

rolls on a skyscraper.
129 INT. THE CHAUTEAU – KITCHEN - DAY 129
SPLITSCREEN - The soulfly shots return
The camera is at the ceiling of the castle and flies trough
the rooms and walls. We see a little girl on a Pony Bicycle
with training wheels driving true the hall. We go with her
until a little while than she sees a very decadent young man
but he walks like a crippled pirate. We see he has some
tattoo's.
The castle is very much alive. People are walking across,
socializing. There is table tennis, fitness, the kitchen and
a library.
We see the girl pass a handicapped young man, two other girls
look extremely dandy. They all have tattoo's. The kid stops
cycling.
The camera flies on there's Marty and Lucillia on the terrace
drinking Brandy.
MARTY
I don't put my life at risk for an
envelope!
The camera flies on.
We see a very classical office with some lightning fast Apple
computers and a wooden luxurious interior design. Young dandy
editors in fancy outfits dribble around.
Ludovic and Marta are inside.
LUDOVIC
They even write resignation
letters, we do real estates,
assvertising and we create all kind
of documents that only go to
existing customers.
MARTA
I can't believe my eyes. How do we
acclaim new ones?
130 EXT. HALL OF RESIDENCE - DAY 130
A door opens from the inside. We see a bike standing and a
dancing courier looking like Heidi.
HEIDI (SINGING)
I am the singing telegram.
Jodeladijodeladioo.
The door smashes and the singer falls down. We see Heidi
wiggle on her boots that have been worn out by the tap
dancing.
131 EXT. NYC STREET - DAY 131
Lucillia gets pushed by a car and scratches against a wall,
she falls down.
132 INT. MARIO'S PIZZERIA – KANCIAPA - DAY 132
We see some local newspapers, food, coffe on the table. The
bikes are hanging at the wall. Rosco is eating while wearing
a corset. Don't eat or drink too rapidly when wearing a
corset. It's easy to develop a case of hiccups if you do and
hiccups when you've got a corset on are not fun.
He starts choking and cuffing, puts his hands on his head.
Tweety sees and he runs for it. Loosens the corset and puts
him at ease. Lucillia walks in, rad on shoulder, puts the
bike at the stable rack.
RACHEL
Hey Vivianne, you've been up and
running all day. I got no
expertise. What's your secret?
VIVIANNE
It's no secret, I the postman just
never rings twice. I donnuh deliver
the same than on the same spot
twice. Take all I can. The ervice
we provide must look like rush
service.
133 INT. 2ND FLOOR - YOGA - DAY 133
We see a yoga instruction class.
YOGA TEACHER
Cutting fat from your diet to lose
inches of your thighs is plain
silly. Not only will you feel
hungry all the time, just stick to
good nuts, fruits and vegetables.
Cellulites is toxic fat and these
foods flood the body with toxins
and fat storing hormones depleting
it of essential nutrients. Who is
the enemy?
Half of 44 raise hands.
YOGA TEACHER (CONT'D)
Wrong. You are the enemy.
134 EXT. NYC – SHEILA RECORDS - DAY 134
Sofia enters the music record shop. A blind soulman is
listening some vinyl house records. There are some more
freaks checking the records. Black ish graffiti on the walls,
clair obscure, the records are on one side of the shop.
SOFIA
Yeah I'm here for pick-up.
SALESGIRL
There you go and you need to sign
right here.
She gets out. A guy in a suit with a case is touching her
bike. She runs and gives him a push.
SOFIA
Don't you fucking touch my bike! I
know a thief when I see one!
135 INT. THE FILMSET - SPACESHIP - DAY 135
We are seated in the cockpit of spaceship with Ludovic and
Lucillia. They are crashing so the camera man is shaking and
rolling the camera.
LUCILLIA
I will love you till the end of
time.
LUDOVIC
You've got me
They kiss but the spaceship is stalling so they stop kissing.
Lucillia pulls his chin and opens his mouth, gets out a
chewing gum and puts it on the pulley handlebar.
A girl is reading from a paper.
RUNNER GIRL
Live like you're minted when you're
totes are fucking skinted.
We fly to the moon.
CAMERA OPERATOR
I got a great idea.
DIRECTOR
What?
LUDOVIC
What?
LUCILLIA (SWEET)
What's up snoozle?
CAMERA OPERATOR
Let's get the spaceship to talk
like it can think and feel...
136 INT. ROXY'S CLUB - NIGHT 136
We see two hands on a skirt in the club. It's Lucillia, she's
dancing with Marty. Her tattoo's are very fluorescent in the
black light.
MARTY
Did you kiss her?
LUCILLIA
She's a ball of muscle with a mouth
of fire.
They start kissing.
137 EXT. BROOKLYN - DAY 137
Ludovic rides with a guitar on his back. He stops at a
boutique, it's closing. A quite charming girl closes the
shop. He's playing a quite nice lovesong for her. She dances,
turns away, loosens her jacket, tries different attitudes.
LUDOVIC (SINGS)
Think that I've found the perfect
love.
The girl falls for his appearance and eventually she let's
him in her life.
138 INT. ROXY CLUB - DAY 138
We see all kinds of bizarre outfits and people. Cecilio looks
pretty much like a tranny in a hotpants. He's talking to a
rounding lolita.
CECILIO
The longer you work out here, the
sooner you begin to see yourself as
somehow different, exempt. I do
love shoes that make me look
longer.
Lolita is jumping.
LOLITA
Oh baby, I got the hots for ya.
She takes him by the hand and pulls him along.
139 INT. NYC WILDSIDE - NIGHT 139
A street musician with an electric guitar is yanked off the
street by a career woman. The amplifier continues to sound.
We see the crowded street, people pass from all sides. We see
a rider trying to fix his bicycle. He sits on the ground,
lights of the cars shine on him like show lights.
140 INT. THE CHAUTEAU - REVALIDATION - DAY 140
The big guy again. He's got some great company from a young
good looking woman Helena with a good handful of breasts.
She looks pretty casual for a summerday in a black minidress.
BIG GUY
You know my leg got crushed on
three spots.
She's touching his dick!
BIG GUY (CONT'D)
What are you touching my cock for
young lady?
He's trying to leave the bed so now he stands with one leg on
the floor and his other leg is still high in the stallage. He
only wears a long shirt.
HELENA
I just don't want to be seen as
someone who's flogging a dead
horse.
BIG GUY
Well, just don't touch me.
He's in total panic and presses the help button.
HELENA
The clothes I wear now, I've stolen
them. Most of 'm.
She walks up to him takes his hand of the button.
BIG GUY
So what?
HELENA
I think some of 'm would suit you
quite well.
141 INT. BROWNSVILLE – STREETCORNER - DAY 141
Lucas is a reggae freak with braids and he's making a very
relaxed tour, hands of the handle, singing DANGEROUS.
He sees two woman dressed up as police woman and two others
in huge golden boots. They managed to cuff the officer and
she is under arrest. A small crew is filming the hot action.
Then he hits the sidewalk.
LUCAS
Hey man. I got some delicious
delivery here.
A gothic girl, looks just like Emily Autumn leaves her
fashion stall, she's got a big smile.
GOTHIC GIRL
One Californian Veggie and a
Blueberry Hill!
LUCAS
Yeah baby, I got them both here and
they are pretty hot!
She gives him a hug. The street's cheering, guys are loosen
up a bit and there is a customer - which is not a thief at
the stall.

puts his rad on the floor and rides to the light. He hands
her a package.
FELICE
Here's your grass.
JAINEBA
Like to have some tea?
She mike a very inviting pose on the couch. A Donna Summer
record is spinning. We see some garbage art in the room.
FELICE
Yeah, I'd like to but I have to
work now.
JAINEBA
Come, sit down.
Jaineba raises her dress and she wiggles her boobies.
145 EXT. BROWNSVILLE – EMPTY HALL - DAY 145
Felice walks the door. The sky melds together in an amalgous
orgasms of blue and magenta. There are some working people
waiting for a bus.
FELICE
If this world was run by jobless
artists, we'd all be in much better
shape. Don't you think so?
An older guy with a baseball cap, almost no teeth raises his
head.
OLD DUDE
People think you can't be clever if
you have no breasts. Hahaha.
146 INT. NYC - ADELPHI UNIVERSITY - DAY 146
Ludovic picks up an envelope at the reception desk. The bike
is on his shoulder. The girl at the desk wears a headphone.
RECEPTION
Please, sign here sir.
He signs.
LUDOVIC
Chiao Bella!
He puts the bike on the street and off he goes. A cob on a
motorcycle is chasing him. Ludovic flees on the sidewalk in
the alley. He's not looking for any trouble and just
continues speeding, taking some red lights. They 're really
after him! Sirens, more police car cars, they block him. Guns
are out. He gives up no idea what's happening. A undercover
car stops. Jeff gets the sirens from the roof. Cindy gets out
the car and walks up to him.
147 INT. THE POLICE OFFICE - PHONEBOOT - DAY 147
Ludovic is at a phoneboot in the police station.
TWEETY
I've been arrested for transporting
illegal cheques. I'm going to kill
every one of you. This was just a
package at Adelphi's University.
They got my radio and bike. I'm the
usual suspect. They monkeys pointed
guns at me.
MARTA (OFF SCREEN)
Did you tell 'm?
TWEETY
It's just an envelope with some
paper in it. Should I really care?
I'm just a chap courier. You better
get me out here right now.
148 EXT. THE POLICE OFFICE - DEPARTURE - DAY 148
Tweety gets his back, bike and radio and he tries to relax
and attach his equipment while he's shuddering.
CINDY
You've been helping a giant
international corporation. I think
you're very lucky that you are not
involved in this matter.
TWEETY
Are you looking for the enemy?
Terrorists maybe?
JEFF
Most people think $400 dollar is a
lot of money.
TWEETY
I got free tickets for the Electric
Grooves party. Officer, thank you
very much for your concern.
A heavy door opens and Tweety is on the street. A UTC van
courier sees him coming out the station. He's with a
chaperone.
VAN DRIVER
What a scumbag.
He throws coffee at the seriously injured biker and drives
away. Tweety steps on his bike.
149 EXT. LUDOVIC'S HOUSE - DAY 149
Ludovic shows the press the house were he used to live before
he became a bicycle messenger. He rings the intercom system.
The crew is following his moves.
INTERCOM
Hi! Who's there?
LUDOVIC
Hi! It's Ludovic Welsh, I used to
live here. I have a guy here from
Transworld Magazine. I'd like to
show 'm my old apartment. Can we
please come in for a few minutes.
DUDE (INTERCOM)
Sure.
He opens the door. They all shake hands.
DUDE (CONT'D)
Great to meet you man. I can't
believe my eyes.
We see some crazy bitch spanking the big guys ass. Helena
walks the door, she wears an even shorter but quite casual
black minidress.
BIG GUY
Oh no, not her again. Aaaouuch.
HELENA
It doesn't matter about money or
clothes, having it. Or having
clothes, or not having them. You're
still left alone with yourself in
the end.
She takes his head in her hands and starts kissing him.
BITCH
He'll be soon riding again.
HELENA
Yeah look at that, three legs of a
man.
BIG GUY
Everybody got it wrong. I said I
was into porn again, not born
again.
150 EXT. THE FORREST - DAY 150
Max, Kayne, Matilda, Chloe, Gia, Ludovic and Lucillia are
walking the forrest. This time everybody is surrounding
Ludovic and listening to him like little spoiled kids.
LUDOVIC
Any experienced messenger can see
anywhere from five to thirty
seconds into the future. The
traffic can be read so closely that
he is rarely caught off guard.
MAX
Haven't we all?
LUDOVIC
The truth is that reflexes are put
to the test when knowledge is
inadequate. Company's claim there
profits from future insights.
Gia makes a hot pose.
GIA
Yeah right.
LUDOVIC
We don't just look good, we have a
cool intelligence, a foretelling. .
.
He tickles Gia in the tighs and she likes it a little more
than everybody expected. They keep fooling around a little.
KAYNE
Me and Chloe ordered a few pizza's
at Mario's. I especially like the
Californian veggie.
They all come a little closer.
151 EXT. FILMSET - DAY 151
Beggars, roofless people lying on the ground, almost dying,
crawling but they get some water. We see carts, horses,
goats, it's a total chaos. Some people are running. The
costumes may appear to be ancient at first but than we see
these actors have modern measure tools, mobiles, GPS and they
though it's timeless it could just look cool and futuristic
as well. We see the skyline, cars are flying around town. We
board spaceship Mario Pizzeria.
BRIDGET
A lot of the loads were too fast,
but there were a few that are
makeable. Lexington Anybody?
We see leashes, straps, helmets, corsets, helmets but this
time the couriers are not bicycle messengers. They are
jumping of planes, carrying messenger bags. We see Ludovic
and Lucillia in the spaceship, the mobile kanciapa. Ludovic
puts some pizza in his messenger bag. The mobile is shaking
like a wet dog.
LUDOVIC (LAUGHING)
We're all gonna die! The whole
bloody lot of us are doomed!
LUCILLIA
Yeah, we're fucking human
cannonballs!
Lucillia is helping him out with the parachute, it goes
between his legs. Bridget's Father appears on screen in the
spaceship.
BRIDGET'S BRIGHT FATHER
Your body is simply a vessel in
which my magnificent mind is
residing.
Ludovic and Lucillia dressed in skydiving corsets, the
messenger bag on the belly, the parachute on the back.
LUDOVIC
Let's eat!
We see 'm jump, fly and get down on roofs of skyscrapers.
Waiting for somebody hungry, to come get the pizza.
152 INT. THE CHATEAU – GARDEN - DAY 152
Lucillia wettens a dish towel and puts it on her forehead.
She breaths deeply and holds herself standing with the sink.
She takes a tomato from the kitchen table and throws it true
the open window into the garden.
153 EXT. THE CHATEAU – GARDEN - DAY 153
This is a huge party. The trailer for 'The Messenger' has
just ended and every one is screaming, cheering. Most signs
of regular parties are totally gone but you can see it's all
very luxurious and decent. This exotic chick with some skull
samba balls sings and dances.
STOLA
I was 14. I knew I had to do it but
I've gotten a lot of backlash. I
just happen to love tattooing. It's
so glamorous.
ROBBY
Oh yeah well me too. You look very
pretty.
Stola got just a little shy but she;s laughing alright.
STOLA
Oh, really? Thanks.
LUDOVIC (SINGS)
On yo side, come step into me
I feel strange but
I've tried hard
On this yo side, so be in my ride
Stola hardly notices Ludovic singing. An elegant elderly
woman is passing by with some drinks.
WOMAN (SLIGHTLY IRRITATED)
Excuse me sir.
Lucillia is having a great time. She talks very amused when
some young promising guests inform about the messaging job.
LUCILLIA
There are plenty of red lights that
it is perfectly safe to blitz and
there are always morons stopped in
the middle of the road with their
blinkers on. Not to mention wide
sidewalks full of flesh pylons.
It's a fast-paced obstacle course
with all of the thrill.
CHIQUE DAME
Really.
LUCILLIA
Ludovic! Ludovic my dearest.
Ludovic walks up to Lucillia. Sebastian is very impressed by
the tatted couple, he loosens his tie, puts out his jacket
and relaxes.
SEBASTIAN
Are you eh, married.
Sings and dances, shakes his body for Lucillia.
LUDOVIC (SINGS)
I love you.
At the beach, in a pool In a
lunchroom at school
In a drive-in, child, in a car
It don't matter, darlin', where you
are.
People are looking like who's that fucking junky. What he
doing here anyway. Turning there bag. Throwing water and
champagne with their fingers. Sebastian stops him.
SEBASTIAN
Come on mate. Cut the crap. You are
just no singer, okay, please.
But Lucillia loves it.
LUCILLIA
He's my lover.
Sebastian freezes.
LUCILLIA (SCREAMING) (CONT'D)
I love you too!
She takes him by his hand and together they run trough the
party as if they were in the forrest, making fun, a little
love, and looking for some more delicious food. They take it
out of the hands of the guests, from the ground and from the
dishes, the waiters, etc. Mario points at a falling star.
MARIO
Look, a falling star!
Lucillia squeezes his arm.
MARIO (CONT'D)
Auooch
We here them giggling, looking at the moon. Ludovic starts
singing BLUE MOON.
CROWD
Ahumahum. Couch Couch.
Ludovic sings on.
VOICE
How do we get this fellow
to shut up? Ssssshhht.
Ludovic stops. We here the sound of kissing. SMACK. We see
romantic shades of other people being close. While the light
in the garden are dimmed we see the stars.
VOICE (CONT'D)
Sorry, it's all right now.
LUDOVIC (YUKELELE)
The shadow of your smile.
