Binge falls face down

 

 


Lance
Christ dude! What happened to you?



Binge
The most incredible experience of my life!


Lance
You look like a Nick Nolte mug shot.

 

 


A look of confusion and
shock on Binge's face



Binge
The club...lap dance...Athena...goddess


Lance
DAMN! I had to stay home and watch a chick flick



Binge
Never seen anything like her


Lance
Hot huh?



Binge
Or had a lap dance like it

 


Lance
Are you missing a tooth?



Binge
I got a face dance too.


Lance
Sweet.


Binge
Dude, I exaggerate not when I say she was the perfect woman.


Lance
How much did you spend?

 

Binge
Total? $2,800, my father's gold watch, and I think my eternal soul.

 


Lance
Damn! I fell like a sap when I give $20 to the daughter of the Russian scientist.

 


Jody yells from off screen



Jody
What?


Lance
uhhhhhh



Binge
HEY! He's fighting terrorism!



Binge
I kid you not man, it was the most incredible sexual experience of my life and we weren't even naked! Athena DeCruel everything a man could want in a woman.

 


Jody speaks from off screen



Jody
You have sooooooooooooooo gotten your last meal here.


Lance
Cool. What did she do?

 


Binge strikes a contorted pose on couch
Jody walks back in



Jody
This is why you are not allowed on the furniture anymore.



Binge
I'll e-mail you the details. I can't wait to sell some more artwork so I can go back.



Jody
How about spending your money on...oh I dunno...RENT? FOOD? CREDIT CARD DEBT??



Binge
You are sooo materialistic!



Jody
Unlike Vagina DeCrud I suppose!



Binge
ATHENAAAA DE-CRUEL!



Jody
Like I said.

Lance, Jody, Sugar in yard talking

 



Sugar
He stole the tops off of my lamp posts, 2 lawn chairs, a garbage can, and the antenna off of my car!

 


Lance
OK, we'll talk to him



Sugar
He's got me so upset, I’ve been drinking Margaritas since 9:30 this morning! Now I have to show a client a house. If I get a D.U.I. it’ll be ALL BINGE’s FAULT!



Jody
Uh, yea.

 


Sugar
It all started the day after thanksgiving.

 


Lance

Hold on, let's see what's going on first.

 

 

Lance and Jody at Binge's front door



Jody
Binge! It's Lance and Jody!

 


Lance
We just stopped by to see if you needed anything...



Jody
Like electroshock, lithium or something.

 


Lance
Guess what I haaaaaave...


Lance holds a joint to the door
door opens a crack



Binge
Can I have it?


Lance
Can we come in?

Jody
Do you promise not to take us hostage?


Lance
Can we see what you're working on?



Binge
I dunno, it's not done yet...



Jody
Please?



Binge
You might not be able to handle it, it has driven me mad already.

Wow.



Jody
It's twisted but great

The title is Goddess Domina


Lance
You snapped, but in a really good kind of way.



Jody
How much do you think you'll get for it?



Binge
NOOOOOOOO! I'll never sell it, or leave it's feet.



Jody

Scene:Binge’s apartment
Exterior



Jody
We’ve seen him in bad shape before, but never like this. It looks like he’s hasn’t slept in weeks. It’s that sculpture. Perhaps if we got it away from him he might return to his version of normal.

 


Lance
I bet if we took it to the gallery it would sell.



Jody
He could use the money, He blew everything he had on that leather floozy on Thanksgiving.

 


Lance
Floozy? Who uses the word floozy anymore? I'll knock him out, you grab the sculpture.



Jody
NO! I want to be the one to smack him on the back of the head, you carry it.

 

Lance and Jody in car,
glimpse of sculpture in backseat


Lance
(on phone)
Yea, yea, we know you don't want to carry any more of his artwork. But this one is his best yet, guaranteed to sell...


Lance
(turned to Jody)
She won't take it in her gallery since what Binge did to her.



Jody
(Taking the phone)
HI, it's Jody, I still have those Marti-Gras photos of you. Good, we'll be right over with the sculpture.

Exterior
Lance and Jody back
at Binge's door


Lance
I hope he's ok....



Jody
He'll be fine

 


Lance
You know, after you knocked him out, you didn't have to kick him in the nuts.



Jody
I wanted to make sure he wasn't faking being knocked out.

 

Lance
Yea, but you kicked him in the nuts three times before I stopped you.



Jody
OK, the last two were just for fun.

 


Scene:Binge’s apartment
Binge in a chair, looking OK

 



Binge
Hey come on in.


Lance
How are you feeling?



Binge
A little tired, I just woke up.


Lance
We took your new sculpture over to the gallery.



Binge
Really? Cool! Thanks a lot guys.



Jody
You OK with that?



Binge
Yea, I need the money, you guys are the best! I'd hug you if my hernia wasn't acting up.

 

 


Jody stares at ceiling, whistling

Lance
It's been a couple of weeks.



Jody
Well, if you mowed the lawn you might get some.

 


Lance
NO, not that, since Binge has been over.



Jody
Yea, you're right it has been a pleasant two weeks

 


Lance
Yea, but really dull.



Jody
DULL? Oh, with just me here it's DULL!!

 


Lance
No, no that's not what I mean. Well, yea kind of....



Jody
Get home and mow the lawn.

It was Binge's landlady..



Jody
NO! We are not covering his rent again!


Lance
No not that, she said he's acting kind of weird even for him

 

Jody
How so? Bathing? Working? Showing a little self-respect?

 


Lance
She described him as "Richard Dryfuss in Close Encounters" kind of weird


Binge in bathrobe, pulling up shrubs


Lance
I'm going over to check on him.



Jody
I'll join you


Lance
Why would you want to go?



Jody
Perhaps deep down I sincerely care about the tortured soul of the artist.


A look of skepticism on Lance's face



Jody
OK, I want to be there when the men in the white coats take him away.
