Snakes Head

By
Conor Doolin

EXT. FORREST - DAYBREAK


A Youthful, athletic,handsome,mullet-sporting and very NAKED
BOY,20, is seen running across a dense forest. His panicked
breath and WIMPERS of pain are heard as he cuts through
thick brush and branch with his hands. His left arm is
bleeding, a bolt is impaled in his bicep bleeds as he uses
it to cut and swipe the foliage ahead.
He continuously looks upward toward the sky,trying to see
something through the canopy of leaves,frantically waiting
for something to happen.
Behind him a loud male SCREAM is heard, with a succinct
METALLIC SLASH immediately afterward. His wimpers evolve
into a scream as he makes his way into a clearing of tall
grass and cattails.
EXT. CLIFF - DAYBREAK
Naked Boy makes it through the tall grass only to be met
with a mossy, jagged, cliff. Around him are nothing but
cliffs. Naked Boy puts his hands on his head, crying. the
BARKING and SNARLS are now accompanied by the SHAKING of
tall grass with the horns so close that Naked Boy winces at
the sound of them. He looks around helplessly, and then
ominously looks down to the water below.
The white water makes a violent CRASHING noise as it hits
the surface of the cliff and boulders below him. The BARKING
and CLINKING of leashes can now be heard, as now the boy
turns to see several armed UNFOCUSED FIGURES facing him. Now
at the very edge of the cliff,he has nowhere to go.
NAKED BOY
Wait.
The figures begin to move closer, CHANTING
NAKED BOY
Listen to me: Im sorry okay?! Im
so sorry!!
The figures are unmoved,the chanting is more EXCITED,
FASTER, and LOUDER, the dogs can barely contain themselves.
The figures are only a couple meters from the Boy, who
begins to step backwards, to the edge.
NAKED BOY
Please! Oh God! Please dont do
this! This isnt right! This isnt
the weekend I signed up for!
(CONTINUED)

2.

The figures now surround him, with spears centimeters away


from his face. The chanting is louder. The Dogs BARK and
CHARGE their leashes.
NAKED BOY
(In complete panic )
ALYCE!? ALYCE!!!
One of the figures THRUSTS a spear into Naked Boys belly,
piercing through his abdomen and spine. From the back, we
see several Greek Symbols with the year, 1990 sitting on
top. Naked Boy wimpers in pain, mouth open, takes a step
back, and FALLS still impaled by the spear.
A sickening, loud, CRUNCH is heard. The Naked Boy is
splattered on a boulder below. The figures stand still, only
the BARKING and CRASHING OF WAVES can be heard. One of the
figures comes into focus to look down onto the rock. A
beautiful, petite blonde ALYCE, then turns around to her
sisers
ALYCE
Sicut erat in princpio et debitum
FIGURES
Sicut erat in princpio et debitum
A BLARING HORN is called from the distance, and the figures
along with Alice return to the tall grass, disappearing from
the frame. Naked Boys blood has stained the boulder he lies
on. A peace returns to the setting.
BLACKOUT!
BEGIN MAIN TITLES!
FADE INTO:
INT. RADIO STATION BOOTH - NIGHT
The Lights are dim, and a really "cool vibe" is in the
atmosphere. A bottle of BLACK LABEL is open, with an iced
glass half full next to it,a pack of open MARLBOROS and a
ZIPPO LIGHTER,piles of books surround the room from various
authors such as KAFKA, LOVECRAFT, BLOCH, and CAPOTE. JOHN
COLTRANE playing in the background.
In the middle of this smokey room is VINCENT,21, who is
looking like a regular Steve McQueen, takes a drag of his
cigarette and moves toward a microphone

VINCENT
Ladies and Gentlemen welcome to the
Secret History of the Paranormal:
The Stuff they dont want you to
know, on WRTY: and do I have a
story for you tonight.
He ashes his cigarette, pushes his sunglasses in, and grabs
the whiskey.
VINCENT
Its one of mystery, the quest for
truth, and in a sense, a story of
remembrance...justice, to a man who
shouldnt be forgotten. A man, who
proved to the world, that we
arent-Suddenly a door FLINGS open, and the dim lights are brought
be to a blinding, ugly fluorescent color. Vincent winces
with his hands up. KITTY, 20, a hip girl with glasses is
glaring at Vincent. The Mic isnt even on, and there isnt a
technician in the sound booth, it was all an elaborate
rehearsal. Big words that say NEWS BOOTH, can be seen on the
glass window.
KITTY
Ive been lfooking all over for
you!! Youre on the air in five
minutes at Suite 3.
Kitty begins to walk away, but comes back.
KITTY
And please, dont smoke in the News
Booth again.
VINCENT
S-sounds good!
(beat)
Sorry about the smoking!
Kitty looks around the room and is pretty weirded out
KITTY
Yeah.
Kitty exits, but leaves the light on.
In the light, Vincent looks less cool. He is extremely pale,
with circles under his droopy eyes. His pants are a little
too tight and his shoes dont match the rest of his outfit.
That sports coat still looks fantastic though.

4.

INT. COLLEGE RADIO STATION - NIGHT


Vincent crosses the radio station with his whiskey, the
office at this hour is pretty empty. There are Halloween
decorations all around and the remaining staff are dressed
up in costumes for the night.
His cellphone rings with a text, looking at his phone, there
is a picture of him wearing carnival masks with his
girlfriend ALICE, 22, a pretty girl who dresses with lots of
class. Her message reads "3AM TONIGHT, DONT FORGET!^_^ Ill
be listening in tonight too!".
He pockets his phone and heads for Suite 3, when hes
approached by LEEROY, 21, who is dressed as ASH, from
Pokmon
LEEROY
Hey Vincent! Doing another "Shift
of Mystery huh?" Neato.
VINCENT
Uh, yeah Leroy, sure. Im on in
three so I really need toLEEROY
(interrupting)
Can I ask you a favor?
Vincent shifts uncomfortably
VINCENT
What is it?
LEEROY
Sooo. my brother is in town for
this weekend, and him and his
girlfriend kinda got into a "snafu"
before he came to visit. So I was
wondering: anything going on
tonight that could, you know, take
his mind off things?
VINCENT
I think theres some good movies
out at the the cinema right now?
Leeroy gives Vincent a look, and slowly begins to lean
closer to him. Vincent does not understand what Leeroy is
doing and inches back.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

5.
VINCENT
Alices fashion show is tonight at
3?

Leeroys still doing the look.


VINCENT
Leeroy--what?
LEEROY
Ahh, I dont know how else to
ask..know what Chris is up to
tonight?
Now Vincent understands whats happening, he sighs and rolls
his eyes.
VINCENT
Leeroy Im not even sure I can even
make it there tonight, Alices show
is-LEEROY
(interrupting)
Please Vince!! You know how
exclusive BSU can be Ive not
gotten into a party my entire time
in college!
VINCENT
Leeroy--youve only been here two
months.
LEEROY
(begging)
All the more reason to go! College
is a kingdom and I am a knight!
Vincent: GIVE ME Y GLORY!
Vincent gives him a "Are you serious?" look. Leeroy cuts the
dramatics
LEEROY
Please dont make me look like an
idiot in front of my brother.
Leeroy attempts to give Vincent the sad puppy eyes. Vincent
takes pity on the Freshman,and sighs again.
VINCENT
I can try to get you in if you come
late, but it has be before 2:30,
got it? Im going to be late to
air.

Leeroy runs down the hall in excitment, and takes out his
phone
LEEROY

THE WAY GOD INTENDED!
Vincent enters Suite 3
INT. SUITE 3 - NIGHT
Vincent puts down his things, and gets ready to go live.
Its considerably a more dense room, so much that Vincent
cannot comfortably fit all his stuff inside.
The red box gives him fifty seconds. He thumbs up the
TECHNICIAN,20, dressed up as JUDGE DREDD, who returns the
gesture. He clears his throat and pours out some whiskey.
The Red Box TICKS the last ten seconds.
VINCENT
Ladies and Gentlemen hello and
welcome to a special Halloween
edition of Secret History of the
Paranormal: The Stuff they dont
want you to know, on WRTY. And
tonight, do I have a story for you.
A light FLICKERS Green on the Red Box.
VINCENT
But before I get to that, it looks
like we got our first caller for

The Technician scans the call and passes it Vincent, he
clicks the open key.
VINCENT

The technicians jaw drops, Kitty runs off dropping several
files along the way.Vincent checks his phone, to discover
that on every conceivable piece of social media, brothers
had posted the radio shows telephone number, and the same
message Chris just relayed.
There is a moment of silence, the Red Box turns Green again.
TECHNICIAN
Vincent..
Vincent takes a second to internalize. He swigs his whiskey
and takes a deep breath. He sees a message from Alice that
reads "Wtf!?". He looks back up.
VINCENT
Lets go to our next caller!
MONTAGE - VARIOUS - NIGHT
A) Chris and the brothers begin decorating the house. The
fraternity house is in a complete disarray. Suggestive

white water rafting, paintball, and rock climbing are framed
to the walls are taken down and put into a cardboard box by
Chris.
He looks through them.. Vincent in every picture is next to
Chris, hands around each other, except for the one,where
Vincent doesnt appear at all. Chriss arms in that instance
are crossed. He covers the box and hides it in his room.
B)Vincent takes a call
VINCENT
Hello youre on the air!
CALLER #1 (V.O)
Hey--Ken here. I saw the ad on
twitter: I was just curious--whats

little weird? I didnt really "GO"
to college, long story,so I dont
really know...
C) Brothers are seen bringing kegs into the house from their
cars, the house in on a hill, so dragging them is a
challenge, one pair slips and drops the keg. It rolls down
the hill square into a car tires with a WHAM. Parts of the
vehicle come off.
BROTHER #1
Oh shit....
The sit in silence for a second
BROTHER #2
Oh wait, thats just Jareds car!!
When they realize its one of the other brothers, they laugh
all over again. JARED, 20, a lanky kid with his hair in
spikes, runs out of the frathouse. He is absolutely wasted
JARED
You assholes!
(beat)
I love you so much.
Jared begins to cry tears of joy, the brothers charge him
with hugs and surf him back into the house.

Groups of people are walking around Fraternity Row. Empty
beer cans and shattered glass sprawl the streets and yards.
Houses hold flags made from bedsheets with Greek letters

Alice is sitting at the end of the catwalk, a headset
microphone sits on her left cheek. A sign that says "BSU

her.
ALICE
To say the least,and now hes
dragging you into his next scheme.
VINCENT (O.S)
Only for appearances sake, Chris

enough to take care of things. Ill

ALICE
Yeah well,that hasnt stopped him

Alice smiles a warm, lovely smile.
ALICE

A PA,18, runs up to Alice
PA
Alice, problem: Mindys gone AWOL.

She thumbs up the PA and mouths "I got it". The PA walks
away.
ALICE
Duty calls Vince, See you soon!
She runs off to the disaster.
INT. TAXI CAB - NIGHT
VINCENT

EXT. FRATERNITY ROW - NIGHT
Vincent steps outside of the cab,goes to the window to pay
TAXI DRIVER
Ill only charge you half
VINCENT
Thanks!
TAXI DRIVER
It looks like you have troubled
times ahead of you.
The cab driver rolls away, Vincent holds his things
awkwardly, looking at the mess of drunk college students on
the streets. Some are vomiting, two girls are in each
others faces while their friends hold them back. Something
flings out of a window and lands next to Vincent, its
underwear. He sighs.
VINCENT
Yeah, thats putting it lightly.
EXT. FRATERNITY HOUSE PORCH - NIGHT
On the porch, a dozen Asian men dressed and the characters
from MULAN pose for a picture,PARK, 22,dressed as Li Wang
leads the group, they throw down fraternity symbols. Another
group of girls dressed as the SAILOR MOON cast all pose with
guys dresed in DRAGONBALL Z outfits. Theres almost a Red
Carpet feel to the event as camera flashes surround the
area.
In the middle of this, Vincent, now dressed as a MONK, tries
to make it to the door. Several people rub his bald cap as
he approaches Gulliermo. When he sees Vincent, he grunts

GUILLERMO
Chris inside, has someone he wants
you to meet. Pretty. You go now.
Goodbye. Talk soon.
Vincent walks in, which pisses off everyone elase waiting in
line outside. Guillermo, looks at the "other" roster, and
points at a GIRL, 20, dressed as a PanAM stewardess, who is
in line with her friends.
GUILLERMO
Come now.
The girl acts as if she won Ms.America,cheering and
gleaming,she walks up to get her hand marked. Her friends
are jealous. She goes inside.
INT. FRATERNITY HOUSE - NIGHT
The party is in full swing, loud music BLARES, the lights

kids holding the stairs are led off by brothers,girls are
dancing, guys are staring. Leeroy with his BROTHER, 20, who
is dressed like Pikachu are having the time of their lives.
LEEROY
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
He pumps his fist to the music. He waves to Vincent as he
walks by. Vincent pushes people aside to make it upstairs.
INT. CHRISS ROOM - NIGHT
Chris is sitting on his bed, smoking a joint out his window
with Lydia, 19, a pretty brunette dressed as a kitten. On
the other side of the room, a ALYCE, 18, a beautiful petite
blonde girl is dressed in an elaborate costume, stading with
one leg on the wall. To the untrained eye, she looks like a
Mermaid. Vincent enters. Chris looks over.

18.
CHRIS
Thank. God.

He drops the joint out the window, Lydia attempts to chase


it but its too late, he embraces Vincent.

VINCENT
And yet here I stand.
CHRIS
In the flesh.
They do an elaborate handshake
CHRIS
Im glad to see you Vince. What did

VINCENT
Ill say for better or worse, it

CHRIS
You couldnt ask for more then.
VINCENT
So whats the situation? You said

speakers?
CHRIS
Landon figured it out, I have
another favor to ask though
VINCENT
As long as I can leave by 2 and
its not the things with the
faucets again.
CHRIS
Its much more simple than that.
He motions to Alyce with his head. Shes on her phone
looking pretty bored.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

19.

VINCENT
Whos this? The thirteenth girl
youve tried setting me up with
since Alice and I started dating?
CHRIS
Im TELLING you Vince. It only took
thirty seconds of talking to her
for me to realize shes definitely
the type you would bone.
VINCENT
Ill always wonder what your
problems with Alice are.
CHRIS
A thousand reasons that wouldnt
matter because you wouldnt listen
anyways.
Vincent stares at Alyce for a moment, she looks over to
them.
CHRIS
Come on Vince, indulge me.
Vincent walks over to Alyce.
VINCENT
(pointing)
Youre not a mermaid.
CHRIS
What?
Alyce, surprised, shakes her head. Vincent scans her over
again, and notices the LYRE, the GILLS on her neck, and the
plump tail and body. Finally, looking at the wreath in her
hair,made of OLIVE BRANCH.
VINCENT
Im glad to meet you, Ms.Siren.
Alyce laughs
ALYCE
I cant believe it: youre the
first person to guess that this
entire week!
CHRIS
Wait, whats a Siren?

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

20.

VINCENT
Femme Fatales of the ancient
world.
Alyce smiles revealing perfect white teeth
ALYCE
I like that.
LYDIA
But only you would know that
Vincent.
Chris and Lydia laugh, Chris returns to the bed quickly and
picks up a red cup.
CHRIS
Know what Vincent does in his spare
time? He hosts a radio show on
campus about this type of stuff,
the dude LOVES this "paranormal,
conspriacy"--whatever!
LYDIA
Tell us something SPOOKY Vincent!
Something you would talk about on
your show!
CHRIS
Oh God, Lydia, you dont know
want-ALYCE
No no, I want to hear something
too!
Chris sighs, and gives a presenting gesture to Vincent.
CHRIS
Take us there, Vince.
VINCENT
Well..
EXT. INDUS CIVILIZATION - DUSK
Massive towers and buildings surround the frame. The sun
shines brightly onto the civilization. People are seen
running around, yelling from their merchant stands, donkeys
transporting goods etc.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

21.

VINCENT (O.S)
They were a civilization that
resided in modern day Pakistan
around 3300 B.C.E. At their height
they were considered the most
advanced of their time.
We see men writing with reed and stylus, commanding builders
in a dead language. They are building a massive statue of a
humanoid OWL.
VINCENT (O.S)
Their God, Moloch, watched over
them. Not much is known about
Moloch, other than the people
thought him to be the ultimate
ruler
Shamans lead a sermon to throngs of people. They all bow
and chant. A women is dragged against her will up to the
shamans.
VINCENT (O.S)
But Moloch was far from a
benevolent ruler. He demanded
sacrifice.
A male shaman slits his wrist, and pours the burst vein into
the girls mouth.
INT. CHRISS ROOM - NIGHT
LYDIA
So what happened to them?
ALYCE
They disappeared.
Vincent looks over at Alyce, they both share a smile
VINCENT
Thats right.
EXT. INSUS CIVILIZATION - DAWN
The once bustling streets are now eerily empty. Food still
stands in merchants shops and homes still have evidence of
humans.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

22.

VINCENT (O.S)
When Archeologists uncovered the
cities, there were no bodies, no
signs of famine or struggle,
nothing to indicate any foul play.
A childs toy sits in the middle of the street. Its a doll
of Moloch.
INT. CHRISS ROOM - NIGHT
VINCENT
They just seemed to lose interest
in living.
An awkward silence fills the room.
LYDIA
Jesus Christ Vince-- how did you
even get into Kappa Sig?
CHRIS
Not a day goes by that I ask myself
the same question.
VINCENT
Well, to my understanding, it was
because of you, Chris.
Chris smiles and raises his cup.
CHRIS
I do have a way with words.
ALYCE
Im intrigued you know so much!
Vincent blushes a little, Chris notices
CHRIS
I suppose introductions are long
overdue. Vince: this is Alyce,
Alyce, Vincent.
VINCENT
Pleasure.
ALYCE
Charmed.

CHRIS
Shes part of that new sorority on
campus,the Freshman one that formed
back in September.
VINCENT
Hows that going?
ALYCE
Thirty six members strong! Im with
them tonight, theyre probably
looking for me right now
actually...
VINCENT
Well we wouldnt want to keep them
waiting.
ALYCE
Then again, it is a long night...
VINCENT
Luckily, I think thats our cue to
leave.
Vincent motions over to Chris. Hes passionately KISSING
Lydia on his bed, his beer spilt, the joint resting next to
them on the sheets.
ALYCE
Loud and clear on this end!
They begin to exit the room, ALYCE turns around
ALYCE
It was good to meet you Chris!
He waves goodbye through the kissing, his Peter Pan hat
falls off.
VINCENT
One shutters at the thought of what
wouldve happened if it were you
wearing the cat costume.
ALYCE
Wouldnt happen. Im way more a dog
person.
Vincent snaps a photo of Chris and Lydia with his phone.
They exit.

INT. DRESSING ROOM #4 - NIGHT


MINDY,19, wearing nothing but a robe is wiping off the
tear-stained makeup from her face. PA #2, 18, is awkwardly
patting her on the back when Alice enters.
ALICE
Mindy...
MINDY
(in hysteria)
ALICE. I. CANT. I GAVE UP MEAT FOR
HIM. I WENT TO THE GYM FOR HIM. I
WATCHED HIS FAVORITE SHOWS,
LISTENED TO HIS MUSIC. JUST TO HAVE
HIM DUMP ME ON THE MOST IMPORTANT
MOMENT OF MY LIFE
Alice says nothing but gives Mindy a big motherly hug.
MINDY
I EVEN MISSED MY BROTHERS
GRADUATION TO SEE HIS PICKUP HOCKEY
GAME!
ALICE
I know, I know.
MINDY
WHERE DO I GO FROM HEeEeEre!?
Shes fully sobbing. Alice looks at her, eyes inches away
from her face
ALICE
You become the best model that BSU
has ever seen. And years down the
line, when you are still a
beautiful, kind,and loving maiden,
the right prince will knock on your
door.
MINDY
I THOUGHT DENVER WAS MY PRINCE.
ALICE
He may be someday, but hes not
right now. I know a million people
in the world who would love you now
for you
Alice stands up, towering over Mindy.

(CONTINUED)

25.

Mindy looks up, wide eyed. Her sobbing has stopped. She has
composed herself again.
MINDY
So what should I do?
ALICE
Love yourself, and prove that you
have value. From there youll find
the answers youre looking for.
She turns her back.
ALICE
I wont lie and tell you it will be
easy.
Alice turns back, she reaches out to Mindy
ALICE
But lets start that journey
tonight, on the catwalk.
INT. HALLWAY - NIGHT
Alice walks out of dressing room #4, taps her microphone
casually
ALICE
Mindy is good to go.
PA (O.S)
Copy. Youre a flipping genius
Alice.
ALICE
Acknowledged.
PA (O.S)
House opens in 45.
ALICE
Acknowledged.
Alices phone VIBRATES, she sees the photo that Vincent
snapped. She giggles. She goes to the craft service table
and pours out some coffee.
COUNSELOR TRIOLA, 31, approaches Alice from behind. She,
being a counselor of a school, is dressed rather
inappropriately, cleavage bounces out of her tight fitting
red dress. She comes up to Alice from behind. Who is too
busy texting Vincent back to notice.
(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

26.
COUNSELOR TRIOLA
"Man is a two-legged animal endowed
with reason."

Alice jumps in surprise and twirls around quickly


ALICE
Counselor Triola! I was wondering
where you ran off to!
COUNSELOR TRIOLA
Ambrose Bierce.
ALICE
What?
COUNCELOR TRIOLA
Said that.
ALICE
...Said what?
COUNCELOR TRIOLA
Nevermind.
ALICE
Anyways, Im glad youre here. I
wanted to thank you before we went
up for letting us use the Student
Center so late!
COUNCELOR TRIOLA
Anything for the best run Student
Organization on campus, which is
thanks to you. Women like you make
my job all the more easier Alice.
She winks at Alice, who uncomfortably looks away.
ALICE
Oh I dont know about
that...theres a lot of others
helping out too yknow!
COUNCELOR TRIOLA
Always the humble one. Could you do
me the pleasure of grabbing the
schedule for tonight?
ALICE
Sure!
Alice walks the other way, Councelor Triola stares at her
butt as she walks. Alice reaches the end of the hall
(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

27.

COUNCELOR TRIOLA
Oh Alice! Stupid me, turns out I
had it the entire time!
She pulls the schedule out of her cleavage.
ALICE
Oh...not a bother!
COUNCELOR TRIOLA
Im excited for tonight, maybe we
can get drinks after?! Girls time!!
Alice raises her eyes
ALICE
Aha...Ill let you know!?
COUNCELOR TRIOLA
Ill be waiting!
Councelor Triola exits, Alice grabs her coffee. Stares for a
second. Laughs and rolls her eyes. She takes a sip and
resumes texting Vincent.
INT. FRATERNITY HOUSE - NIGHT
Vincent and Alyce walk out of Chriss room to meet the
hundreds of partygoers outside. Alice looks around and waves
at ALEX,JAQUI, and BEATRICE below. JAQUI has a large fake,
fake head wound with fake blood all over her. ALEX is
dressed as Medusa and Beatrice a Harpy. The excitedly wave
back. There is a solid wall of people in between the two
groups
VINCENT
Friends of yours?
ALYCE
Sisters! Thats Alex, Jaqui, and
Beatrice.
VINCENT
Want to make our way to them?
ALYCE
Nah, not worth the effort, youll
meet them soon enough Im sure.
Vincents phone VIBRATES. A message from Alice reads "You
owe me 20, Triolas at it again!"

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

28.

They take a moment to take it all in, Alyce looks around to


see Devin, dressed as Captain Ahab signing something to
COREY, 19, who signs something back. Devin smiles and walks
away. Corey then looks over to LANDON, 18,dressed as Carl
Weathers from PEDATOR and signs again. Landon looks over to
the stairs,a kid looking very drunk at the top is going in
for a hug with someone, and is close to falling off. Landon
makes a hurried effort to go over and move them to a safe
distance away from an accident.
ALYCE
Quite the tight ship you run here.
Whats with the signing?
VINCENT
Do you like it? My idea actually,
its a way of communication that
only brothers can understand.
ALYCE
I dont suppose you could tell me
much about it.
VINCENT
I am bound by honor.
He bows, his cap falls off, Alyce laughs, she holds her
stare on him.
ALYCE
You seem like someone really out of
place here, Vince.
VINCENT
Luckily I dont think Im staying
much longer.
ALYCE
Somewhere to be?
VINCENT
Someplace very important.
ALYCE
So what keeps you here?
Vincent looks over to Chriss room. Alyce does too.
ALYCE
Ah, say no more.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

29.

VINCENT
Not just him, all of them.
ALYCE
"We merry few".
VINCENT
Im sure you feel the same.
ALYCE
Weve been through a lot, thats
for sure. I dont know. All these
girls look up to me as the epitome
of "Sisterhood of BSU!"
She does the quote gesture.
ALYCE
In reality, Im starting to think
this whole "Greek Life" thing is
prety silly
VINCENT
Bold words coming from a founding
member.
ALYCE
Yet words that dont seem too far
off from what Im getting about
you.
VINCENT
The thing is: a year
ago everything just seemed so
perfect. I felt like I was part of
something big. Almost like the
stars aligned telling me that this
was the direction my life was
supposed to be heading.
ALYCE
And where are those stars pointing
now?
Vince stands quietly for a moment. He stares at the blood
red lighting and chaos in front of him.
VINCENT
Youre asking the wrong guy. I
dont have those answers anymore.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

30.

ALYCE
Welcome to adulthood.
VINCENT
And what would you know about
adulthood?
ALYCE
I know to take the opportunities
staring me in the eye.
VINCENT
What does that even-Alyce KISSES Vincent. He stiffens, eyes wide open, lips
sealed shut. After a few moments Alyce takes out a SYRINGE,
grabs Vincents butt and INJECTS him with something. Vincent
WINCES in pain. She lets go, and pinches his butt again. It
couldnt have been more than a five second operation.
VINCENT
Alyce..y-you really shouldntALYCE
(interrupting)
Youre probably right. And yet I
dont regret a thing.
VINCENT
You dont understand. I have-ALYCE
(Interrupting again)
A long night ahead of you.
VINCENT
Alyce--please.
Alyce smiles
ALYCE
I wouldnt worry about it Vincent,
you didnt kiss back. Innocent
enough in my book. Just get some
rest, youre gonna barely remember
a thing in the morning.
VINCENT
I doubt that.
ALYCE
Trust me on that one, weeks from
now Ill just be a distant memory.
(MORE)
(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

31.

ALYCE (contd)
Dont take it personally, just met
a lot of jerks in my time.
She pauses. Vincent kisses her on the cheek.
VINCENT
Despite all that, Im glad to have
met you tonight Alyce. Its almost
time for me to get going anyways.
ALYCE
Oh right..take care Vincent.
Alyce makes her way through the crowd. Vincent scratches his
butt and clenches his teeth in pain when he touches the
entry point of the syringe.
VINCENT
Ow! Who the hell pinches someone
that hard!?
He looks over, and to his horror, sees Chris, staring at
him, mouth dropped in shock.
CHRIS
No. Fucking. Way.
VINCENT
Chris...no
CHRIS
You dont need to explain yourself
to me Vince, remember who youre
talking with.
Vincent begins to wobble
VINCENT
Chris..
Vincent keels over in the hall, Chris rushes over to pick
him up.
VINCENT
I-I need. Alice
CHRIS
What you need is to rest and sober
up.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

32.

VINCENT
No.. I didnt--her show. Chris I
need to-- I didnt.
CHRIS
(comfortably interrupting)
You arent going anywhere tonight
buddy. Dont worry about it, Ill
take the fall with Alice. It looks
like you have
VINCENT
(interrupting)
T--troubled times ahead of me.
Vincent passes out. Chris looks over and signs, Guillermo
comes over to pick him up.
CHRIS
Put Vince in his old room. Kick out
whoevers fooling around in there.
GUILLERMO
Vincent. Okay? Call hospital?
CHRIS
Hell be just fine with us around.
He looks up at Guillermo
CHRIS
Hes back, Big G. Vincent is back!
GUILLERMO
Good. Very happy.
Guillermo takes Vincent away. Chris smiles a bright smile
EXT. BEACH - DAY
Vincent is a on a beach. The sky is cloudy and the air is
windy, he watches the waves surface. Something RUSTLES in
the bush behind. Owls HOOT and something TAKES OFF from the
trees, wings FLAPPING. The ocean twenty meters out is FOGGY,
but a light GLEAMS in the distance. A voice calls out.
ALICE
VINCENT!?
VINCENT
Over here! HELLO!

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

33.

ALICE
Vincent where are you!?
VINCENT
Hello! Im over here! Come find me!
A lifesaver is thrown out on a string and hits the water in
front of him.
ALICE
GRAB HOLD, ILL PULL YOU IN!!
Vincent complies, he hoists it around his body and lets
himself be dragged into the water
VINCENT
Thank you! Thank you thank you
thank you! I thought Id never get
off
ALICE
Dont thank me yet, its a long
way!
VINCENT
How far is it?!
ALICE
For some, their entire lives.
Vincent looks around. Blood and bodies surround him, Owls
PICK at the rotting corpses.
INT. EMPTY ROOM - MORNING
Vincent awakens with a loud KNOCK on the door.
DEVIN
Vince? Vince its Devin! Vince wake
up! Are you naked? Im coming in
anyways. VINCE!?
Vincent slowly arises from his bedroll, confused. He covers
his face.
VINCENT
C-come in?
Devin enters, hes stirring something in a pot

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

34.

DEVIN
Morning Sarge!
Vincent holds his head in pain.
DEVIN
Jesus, what happened to you last
night? I didnt even see a cup in
your hand.
VINCENT
Dont be ridiculous...I didnt
drink I was staying sober toVincent swallows his words, his eyes slowly turn to horror,
his mouth agape. He looks at his phone, 39 MISSED CALLS,
ALICE 5 VOICEMAILS, ALICE, TEN TEXT MESSAGES, ALICE.
DEVIN
Oh yeah, didnt you have somewhere
to be last night?
INT. FRATERNITY HOUSE - MORNING
The house is a complete wreck, some brothers are cleaning up
while others are eating breakfast. Vincents SCREAM is heard
throughout the house.
INT. EMPTY ROOM - MORNING
Vincent looks like hes about to rip all his hair out.
VINCENT
SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT! WHAT DID I
DO!? WHAT HAPPENED?! LAST NIGHT!?
OH GOD!!
DEVIN
I was wondering that myself too. Oh
well, if you dont know then you
dont. No use crying over spilt
milk eh?
Vincent grabs his things and runs out in full sprint.

35.

INT. FRATERNITY HOUSE - MORNING


Vincent runs down the stairs, stumbling with his shoes and
as he makes a B-line for the door. Hes calling Alice,
before he can exit, He is stopped by Chris
CHRIS
Hey Romeo! Where are you going in
such a hurry?
VINCENT
I dont know. Somewhere with Alice,
ANYWHERE with Alice.
He gets Alices voicemail. He turns to Chris
VINCENT
I think I really fucked up this
time.
CHRIS
Ill drive you.
Vincent bolts out the door. Chris close behind,
Hunter hops out of his room in only his briefs. A girl is
peering outside the open door, its JAQUI, from the evening
before.
HUNTER
CHRIS! Someone left this for me to
give you this morning.
Hes holding a SCARLET ENVELOPE. Chris takes it and runs out
with Vincent.
EXT. ALICES APARTMENT - DAY
Chriss car rolls up, Vincent sprints outside to the door
while Chris gets out slowly to watch. Vincent buzzes the
door. He keeps buzzing. No avail. He pounds the door.
Nothing.
VINCENT
ALICE! ALICE ITS VINCENT!
Suddenly the door opens. Alice is standing behind a screen
door, still dressed in her outfit from the night before,
save for the makeup wiped from her face. Vincent looks at
her with desperate eyes

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

36.

VINCENT
Alice-She peers over to see Chris texting on his phone. She firmly
steps out of the house, walking with purpose over to Chris.
VINCENT
Oh shit.
She stands in front of him, he takes his sunglasses off.
CHRIS
Hows it hanging Alice?
ALICE
To the right.
She clocks him with a slap on his right cheek so hard it
sends his glasses flying.
ALICE
I cant prove it now, but I know-I KNOW somehow youre responsible
for this. Youre a true son of a
bitch Christopher. In every sense
of the word: A true fucking son of
a bitch.
She walks back to Vincent.
CHRIS
Coming from you, Ill wear those
words with honor. Nice knowing you
Alice.
She stands close to Vincents face
ALICE
Hiatus
VINCENT
What?
ALICE
Thats what were on right now
Vincent. A haitus.
She marches back into her house
VINCENT
Wait! What does that even mean!?

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

37.
ALICE
It means sort your fucking life
out. Until you do, leave me out of
it.

She slams the door. Vincent stands in shock.


INT. FRATERNITY HOUSE - MORNING
Vincent holds in head, belly flopped on a couch rubbing his
butt. Chris sits across in an classic dad armchair, he
fingers a pipe in his hands.
CHRIS
I dont know what else to say
Vince, I wouldve stopped you if I
knew you were so far gone. The
situation just went out of my hands
Vince.
Vincents eyes are dark.
CHRIS
Im more surprised you dont
remember drinking anything that
night.
VINCENT
Im the worst person.
CHRIS
Youre not, this is just a sign.
Fuck her, you changed so much with
Alice that some brothers havent
seen you ONCE this semester.
VINCENT
Thats not fair you know Ive been
busy.
CHRIS
You host a radio station two hours
a week on weekends and only have
classes two days a week.
(beat)
Whats going on Vincent? Even Ive
not seen you in weeks. In between
moving out, and being absent from
Kappa Sig,and Alice, Im a little
lost here.
Vincent stays silent for a moment. He sighs and turns away

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

38.
VINCENT
If only I knew.

Chris leans forward.


CHRIS
Do you remember when we first
crossed into Kappa Sig? Damons
guest home in Maine?
VINCENT
How could I forget? It was parents
weekend too.
CHRIS
You got so drunk that you-VINCENT
Passed out at the Honor Students
luncheon.
CHRIS
Dean Rudman was furious at us.
They both laugh.Vincent turns back around, looks outside at
the gray sky outside, the trees are dead, leafless.
VINCENT
I want to get out of here, Chris
CHRIS
Ask and you shall receive.
Chris reveals the CRIMSON LETTER. Its already ripped open,
Vincent takes it. He opens it to see a crisped letter.
VINCENT
This is a mixer invitation.
CHRIS
At Snakes Head island on the Cape.
VINCENT
Gamma Delta Psi...
CHRIS
Alyces sorority.
VINCENT
Jesus Christ Chris.
Vincent throws the letter onto the table in front of him.
and rolls away again.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

39.

CHRIS
Wait whats wrong with Alyce now?
You two seemed to get along fine
last night.
VINCENT
Nothings wrong with Alyce!-(beat)
I just dont remember a thing about
her. I dont know where anything
led to make me do...well
CHRIS
To cheat on Alice?
Vincent stares at the ground for a minute.
VINCENT
Yeah. That.
CHRIS
I agree it does seem a little out
of character of you, but I wouldnt
worry man. You were drunk.
Vincent picks the letter back up again, reads.
VINCENT
How did they even set this up on
such short notice? It tooks us
weeks to book a house in Rhode
Island.
CHRIS
I dont know, maybe another
fraternity dropped out? You dont
have to make this another
conspriacy Vince.
Vincent puts a pillow on his face, groans.
CHRIS
A perfect way to spend a hiatus,
dont you think?
Vincent rolls back, stands up
VINCENT
Ill need to talk with her first.
CHRIS
If thats what you want, Ill ask
around to find her.
(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

40.

He takes out his phone and shows Vincent a racy photo of


Alyce on a beach.
CHRIS
Until then: does this ring any
bells?
Vincent looks at the photo. Blushes.
VINCENT
Where did you get this?
CHRIS
Friend of a friend Vince.
VINCENT
Could you?
CHRIS
Check your email when you get home.
Vincent gets up, grabs his butt in pain again
VINCENT
Ill start packing my things.
Vincent exists.
INT. UNIVERSITY COFFEE SHOP - AFTERNOON
Vincent sits alone, his bag slumped on the floor. Hes
dressed with a bit more flair than weve seen him before.
The eyes are less droopy and he seems healthier. Alyce,
still looking as stunning as ever enters, looks around, sees
him, smiles and walks over and takes the seat facing him
ALYCE
Gotta be honest Vince, I didnt
think I was going to see you again.
VINCENT
Sorry to go about this in a
roundabout way.
ALYCE
Its okay, flattering really.
She puts her knuckles on her cheeks and leans in. Her
cleavage hangs out to reveal a white bra. Vincent glances,
but tries to remain his composure.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

41.
VINCENT
I just wanted to talk about.
About--well. Everything really
ALYCE
Everythings a lot, why dont we
start with what happened on Tuesday
and see where we go from there?
VINCENT
Right.

Vincent takes a deep breath.


VINCENT
I dont know where to start. I
dont remember. I just want to make
clear that I dont normally drink
that much and Im so soALYCE
(Interrupting)
Dont you dare apologize, Vincent.
The last person I expected to meet
was a true gentleman that night.
VINCENT
I guess thats good to hear. I was
under the impression that I might
have seriously weirded you out.
(beat)
Did I mention anywhere I had to be?
Alyce searches her mind, then it comes to her.
ALYCE
"Someplace very important?". And
you didnt weird me out Vince,
meeting you was the highlight of
the evening.
He sighs a bit of relief. She grabs his hands in comfort
ALYCE
You didnt make that important
place, right? Thats why youre
talking to me?
Vincent looks down
ALYCE
I cant help but to feel partially
responsible.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

42.

VINCENT
I let someone down in the worst way
that night.
ALYCE
Oh Vincent..
VINCENT
Look, I dont know what you think
of me, but.
Alyce smiles a sad smile, she squeezes his hand. Other
people in the cafe notice and Vincent becomes very
self-aware
ALYCE
Youre a good person Vince.
VINCENT
The reason why I wannted to talk to
you is-- well-- with everything
going on I really need time away
from,well, everything. Chris told
me about Snakes Head this weekend.
ALYCE
That should be a thoroughly
interesting couple of days.
VINCENT
I was thinking of coming up, for a
least a while
ALYCE
Oh, Vincent. Im not really sure it
will be your cup to tea. Its
Halloween 2.0
VINCENT
Yeah, Im sure of it. Nonetheless,
it cant be any worse than being
here for the weekend.
Alyce, stares at Vincent, it lingers too long.
VINCENT
Loud and clear Alyce, I thought Id
rather-ALYCE
No no! Sorry! You can do whatever
you like Vincent. I just dont want
you to come for the wrong reasons
(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

43.

(beat)
But Id love a dinner with you when
I get back, regardless.
Vincent is bright red.
VINCENT
I--of course! Absolutely! We can
catch up for lost time!
ALYCE
Until then youre gonna play
Snakes Head by ear?
VINCENT
I think so, yeah.
ALyce smiles, Vincent smiles back.
ALYCE
Crap! Im late for the Greek
Meeting!
She gathers her thngs and exits.
VINCENT
Ill see you soon?
Alyce, waves.
VINCENT
Hey!! If--if I dont end up making
it Thursday. Just, take care of
yourself okay? I know those guys
can be trouble, but theyre good
guys!
ALYCE
Us girls can handle ourselves
VINCENT
I dont doubt it, Im excited to
see you again!
Alyce smiles a sad smile, exits.
EXT. UNIVERSITY COFFEE SHOP - AFTERNOON
Alyce walks out of the coffee shop, and is met with Alex
outside.

(CONTINUED)

CONTINUED:

44.

ALYCE
If I didnt know any better Id
think..
ALEX
That I was following you? Funny, if
I didnt know any better Id think
youre getting to attached to that
innocent. You do realize if his
friend digged up even an inch more
about us wed be FUBAR right?
ALYCE
A necessary risk. We need all
of them to love us, hes not going
to make it to Snakes head anyways.
Hes still recovering from the
curse.
ALEX
For your sake, I hope youre right.
We work as a team next time Alyce,
Next time: Corrupt them or leave
em alone.
Alex walks away. Alyce lingers at looks at Vincent inside.
INT. UNIVERSITY COFFEE SHOP - AFTERNOON
Vince is alone again. He sighs and looks down at the table.
He, like Alyce, smiles a sad smile. Suddenly he grabs his
butt in pain. Grunts. He begins to sweat profusely. Vincent
stands up. Others around him begin to look at him worriedly.
He stumbles, and hits the floor with a WHACK. He takes the
entire table with him. Alyce in the window, walks away
quickly.
INT. AIRPLANE CABIN - DAY - DREAM SEQUENCE
Vincent sits on a plane with headphones on playing
indistinct rock music, wearing the same outfit seen in the
beginning. He is the only one on the flight. Alice
approaches wearing an Air Stewardess outfit. An owl pin sits
on her lappel. Her nametag reads "Happiness"
ALICE
Do you have any questions about the
menu?
Vincent takes the headphones off.

(CONTINUED)

45.
VINCENT
I think a tea sounds divine,
darling.
ALICE
Okay! Ill give you it on one
condition.
VINCENT
And whats that?
ALICE
Can you please recite the Code of
Kappa Sigma Phi?
VINCENT
Baby, you know I cant tell you
that, its secret, Im bound by
honor.

Alyce enters, she also wears the same outfit as Alice.


ALYCE
That didnt stop you from telling
me.
VINCENT
I did? Oh. Well okay then!
Suddenly various BLEATING of sheep is heard. When Vincent
looks around, he is surrounded by hundreds of sheep, all
buckled up in various business attire.
VINCENT
#1, all brothers must be able to
communicate the history of Kappa
Sigma.
Turbulence begins to shake the plane. Sheep begin to BLEAT
louder.
VINCENT
#31, every party has two rosters,
one describing the distribution of
duty, the other containing-A large BOOM is heard, several sheep fall out of their
seats, the oxygen masks fall. Vincent does not put one on.
The sheep sit stupidly.
VINCENT
#12 Pledging schedules must be

The plane now breaks open, sheep fly out, Vincent sits
calmly, the plane is in full tailspin.
VINCENT
#41 Keep secret at all times, the
content of this codebook.
The plane crashes
INT. COLLEGE INFIRMARY - AFTERNOON
Vincent wakes with a JERK. He is in a cramped college
infirmary with a bandaged head. He is wearing a hospital
gown. Chris and the entire BROTHERHOOD are in the room with
him. They jump back in surprise to Vincents violent
awakening. They are all packed up for the trip.
CHRIS
Jesus Christ youre a clutz
VINCENT
What happened!?
GUILLERMO
You slip. Hit head. Pass Out. Sleep
often.
HUNTER
But youre awake now, and
alledgedly concussion free!
JARED
They requested that you take it
easy this weekend though. No
partying, no drinking, lifting of
heavy objects.
CHRIS
And lord knows we cant have that
can we?
DEVIN

Devin throws a bag toward Vincent, its filled with clothes
along with various other camping devices.
VINCENT
Todays...Thursday isnt it?

Chris sits on Vincents bed
CHRIS
Im not going to tell you what to
do.
He takes out the photo of Alyce on the beach again
CHRIS
But I can remind you what youll be
missing.
Vincent stares, scratches his head. Looks up at everyone.
VINCENT
Am I even allowed to leave yet?
DEVIN
Well...no, but Chris has come up
with a full proof plan.
INT. INFIRMARY OFFICE - DAY
A peaceful office with several infirmary employees are
sitting. Some are typing at a computer while two nurses seem
to be conversing about something. Suddenly RATTLING. The
employees look around confused
GUILLERMO
MMMMMMURUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!
Gurillermo ROARS, sprints through the infirmary office
holding a screaming Vincent. Dozens of brothers run wildly
behind him. HOOTING and HOLLERING
NURSE
I FUCKING KNEW IT!!! YOU ASSHOLES!
GIVE BACK OUR PATIENT!
The brothers knock over various things on their way out.
Jared gives the double bird
JARED
LOCO PARENTIS, DICKWEEDS!
From the window you see them all make it toward the bus. It
drives off

48.

INT. BUS - AFTERNOON


Vincent sits at the back of the bus with all the brothers
patting him on the back CLAPPING, LAUGHING and HOLLERING. He
smiles an uneasy smile. He looks out the window at the
passing Campus. The bus stops at crosswalk. Alice walks by.
Vincent stares at her, his smile fades. Jared opens the
window crack.
JARED
Hey Alice!
Alice looks toward the bus, Jared ducks in and giggles. She
notices Vincent. The look on her face is pure pain. Vincent,
in a moment of weakness, puts his hand on the window, and
tightens his lip. Alice nods back to him, waves, and gives a
half smile. Vincent disappears from the window, to have
Chriss face appear, he does a "tip of the hat". Alice
quickly loses her smile.
INT. BUS - AFTERNOON
The Brothers are singing merrily to the music on the bus,
various old army songs etc. Vincent is now clothed normally
again, quietly mumbling along as he looks out the window.
Devin approaches him.
DEVIN
Almost there! Are you ready!?
VINCENT
Im ready to get out of this bus,
it smells like half you guys forgot
to do your laundry before you
packed.
DEVIN
Why would we do that if theyre
going to get dirty here anyways?
VINCENT
Huh..you have a point.
Vincent rubs his head, and then his butt.
DEVIN
Youve taken quite the beating
these past few days, going away
must be such a relief. Lets just
hope you dont drown on the way
over

VINCENT
Thanks Devin
DEVIN
Anyways, weird seeing Alice before
you left huh? I feel like I could
hear her heart breaking from the
bus. Seriously. That must have
fucked. her. up.
Vincent clentches his teeth and silently continues to aviod
eye contact.
VINCENT
Im really tired Devin, do you
mind?
DEVIN
I have just the thing for that!
He takes out a fertilzer spray can.
VINCENT
OPEN WIDE!
Vincent takes a second to think. Then opens his mouth. Vodka
shoots out, he CHOKES on impact.
EXT. ROAD - AFTERNOON
The bus rolls into an exit that says SNAKES HEAD LANDING, 10
MILES..
INT. STUDENT LIFE CENTER - AFTERNOON
Alice cries quietly over her desk. Counselor Triola walks by
with her coat, double takes, runs off. Pavarottis Viste La
Gubbia begins to play, Triola enters her cubicle again. She
watches for a moment in empathy as she sees Alices broken
heart.
COUNSELOR TRIOLA
(Softly)
"Man is a kind of mean between
angels and beasts."
This time Alice does not jump in surprise.
ALICE
Augustine of Hippo. I know that
one.

Counselor Triola sits next to Alice, and gives her a


handkerchief,Alice refuses and looks on.
COUNSELOR TRIOLA
Whats Vincent done this time?
ALICE
Nothing wrong, Im being selfish.
COUNSELOR TRIOLA
I dont believe it Alice, someone
like you doesnt cry without
reason.
Alice pauses, and winces out another tear
ALICE
I need to go...
COUNSELOR TRIOLA
Why are you doing this to yourself?
ALICE
What are you even going on about!?
COUNSELOR TRIOLA
Vincent was a fool Alice, you let
that boy walk all over you like a
Jesus on water. Alice Brooks was
the best thing in that raccoon
looking boy lifes, just to have
him spit on everything you worked
for.
ALICE
What the hell do you know about
Vincent and me?
COUNSELOR TRIOLA
Enough to know that when I looked
out at that Halloween crowd, I saw
an audience full of people
cheering.
She moves the chair closer, Pavorotti has hit the Climax of
Vesti
COUNSELOR TRIOLA
And you wouldve given all those
cheers up for Vincent. That breaks
my heart to see Alice.
Counselor Triola is centimeters away from Alices face,
Alice looks on in confusion
(CONTINUED)

51.
COUNSELOR TRIOLA
Im somewhat of an expert on broken
hearts..

She puts her hands on Alices bare theighs, massages her


skin gently.
COUNSELOR TRIOLA
"Men are but children of a larger
growth." Alice.
Vesti speaks the famous line, "Laugh Clown, Laugh at your
pathetic life!"(In Italian) Alice trembles, and quickly gets
up.
ALICE
You are not yourself, Ms.Triola.
COUNSELOR TRIOLA
Apologies, Alice. It seems I read
the cards wrong on this one.
(beat)
I wouldve been remiss if I hadnt
inulged on my last day. The stars
just seeme to align for me.
ALYCE
Youre leaving BSU?
COUNSELOR TRIOLA
Bigger fish to fry, I suppose.
She turns to Alice
COUNSELOR TRIOLA
Nonetheless, I will not be in
tomorrow, could you hold down the
fort in Student Life?
Alice pauses for a moment. Nods.
COUNSELOR TRIOLA
Good
Counselor Tiolas demeanor has completely changed. She
suddenly isnt as feminine or dainty as previous. she rezips
her coat and heads to exit.
COUNSELOR TRIOLA
Im sure Ill see you again, Alice.
She exits. Alice plops down heavily, the weight of the world
on her shoulders.

The brothers on the motor boat search for the flames, JARED
points out torches on Snakess head island. An Island that
from far away is as narrow, with a tall pleatau at the base.
The torches lie on a beach. They all HOOT and HOLLER. Even
Vincent is taking part in the revelry. the two boats
approach the dock.
EXT. SNAKES HEAD BEACH - DUSK

CHRIS
BROTHERS OF KAPPA SIGMA! MAN THE-When they uncover the Brush, the scene in front of them is
chaotic. There are as many men as there all women, all of
which are college aged, attractive and flirting with the
girls. The Asian Boys from the party are all there, along
with several other men wearing Greek Letters.
CHRIS
What the fuck!?
DENVER, 22, a modern day Patrick Bateman, walks over to them

DENVER

almost at full attendance here.
(beat)
Or has Rush really been that dry
for you.
Mu brothers all laugh, they all look like theyve come from
the local country club.
CHRIS
We like to think of ourselves as
the few and proud.

But I am glad youve taken the time
from your busy schedule of hazing
and humiliaitng freshman to come

favorite Student Counselor I see.
DENVER

Chris, maybe if you actually came
to the meeting youd know that.
This conversation has taken enough
of my breath. Boys?
They walk away collectively. An awkward silence comes from
that comment.
GUILLERMO
They smell like perfume.
Kappa sig laugh. Vincent cant help to as well they go onto
the night. Chris smacks Vincent on his back
CHRIS
Time to find your Siren.
EXT. GAMMA DELTA PSI CAMPGROUNDS - LATER
The tension that was there before has resided, the party is
in full swing. Men are drunk and and partying. Flirting and
dancing are in full swing. It is a modern day Fire Island.
In the middle of all of this is Vincent, holding a solo cup,
walking around. He is looking for Alyce. Finally, ALYCE pops
out from the outhouse. Vincent lights up.
VINCENT
Alyce! Hey!
She looks over with a smile, which turns quickly into a
frown. She looks almost in shock.
ALYCE
V-vincent?
She looks at the bandage still on his head. Points too it.
ALYCE

VINCENT
I know, stupid. Really stupid
right? They said I might I have a
concussion, I think. I just
couldnt help myself from-Denver walks over to Alyce, turns her around, and KISSES her
passtionately. Alyce tries to resist him, and keeps looking
to Vincent. Vincents mouth drops open, both in horror and
in shock.
DENVER
So you two know eachother? Wouldnt
you know it, we met on Halloween,
at the Kappa Sigma Party!
Vincents eyes are dark as clouds again.
VINCENT
Funny.
Alyce looks shell shocked, Denver oblivious, Vincent
emotionally obliterated.
VINCENT
Take care of yourself Alyce.
DENVER
Holding up okay Vince?
Vincent leaves. Denver showers Alyce with affection. Alyce
looks unfocused, staring at Vincent walking away, in an
almost curious,concerned fashion
EXT. GAMMA DELTA PSI CAMPGROUNDS - SUNSET
Vincent sits alone on a bench with the chaos around him. He
sips one beer of many around him. Devin sits with him
DEVIN
VINCENT! Whats wrong homie?
VINCENT
Just a long night Dev.
DEVIN
Oh no, you didnt hurt yourself
again right?
VINCENT
Not in the way you think.

(CONTINUED)

56.

DEVIN
Huh? Oh that blonde girl! Yeah I
forgot to tell you, I saw her at a
few parties this semester and she
was kissing everyone there.
Vincent sinks down into his seat.
DEVIN
Come to think of it: theyre all
here tonight. What a coincedence.
Its like they want to cause
trouble with us.
Chris enters and joins Devin and Vincent sitting down.
CHRIS
You need to pull yourself together
ace.
Vincent looks coldly into the fire ahead of him.
CHRIS
Look, this is my fault... but if
Alyce is seriously going after a
wankstain like Denver then youve
possibly dodged the biggest bullet
of your lifetime.
DEVIN
I heard that guy made pledges wax
his eyebrowls.
Vincent still says nothing. Chris looks at the fire for a
minute too. He sighs
CHRIS
Theres a boat going back around 8
if you wanna jump ship. I think
some guys are thinking of taking a
cab to the bus station.
He pats Vincent on the back
CHRIS
I dont want to keep you here if
its going to make you feel worse.
You know Id come with you if I
werent needed here.
VINCENT
Its alright, Chris. Go have fun.

(CONTINUED)

57.

Chris gives a last pat and exits. Chris stands quietly for a
moment. Opens his mouth to say something, walks away. A
horn BLARES. Alyce stands with four sisters at the front of
the campgrounds.
ALYCE
Gentlemen, if you wouldnt mind
giving us your undivided
attention...we are ready to begin
tonights ceremony!
Men and women clap
ALYCE
Please follow the flames...
Dozens of fraternity brothers and Gamma girls go off, only a
few stay behind.
DELTA PSI BROTHER
You riding with us Vince? We better
head back to the beach soon before
it gets too dark eh?
Vincent looks back for a minute. His eyes meet with Alyce.
He immediately looks away.
VINCENT
Yeah.
He walks out of the campsite, Alyce follows him her with
eyes. She looks at three other girls going to show them out.
She looks at Beatrice, who sits next to her
ALYCE
I need to take care of something,
make sure Alexandra is ready to do
the ceremony.
She turns to Beatrice.
ALYCE
Bar the doors when the last one
enters.
She walks off after Vincent

58.
INT. COMMON ROOM - NIGHT.
Alice sits waiting in a college common room dormitory. She
checks her watch angrily. Mindy enters the room with her
Apple laptop and pink pajama pants, looking quite comfy.
MINDY
(Deadly serious)
Alice. Im glad you game. I was
worried you werent going to come.
ALICE
I got that from the twelth time you
called me on the way here.
MINDY
This isnt a time for jokes.
Mindy sits down,staring her dead in the eyes.
MINDY
Vincent, and my Denver are in grave
danger Alice.
Alice stands up and begins to leave.
MINDY
Hey wait! Alice! Dont you care!?
ALICE
Mindy. I get it. I get that Denver
broke your heart. Trust me, Im
dealing with heartbreak myself, but
please, do not involve me, or
better yet Vincent in your
affairs.
Alice opens the door to leave.
MINDY
What if I told you it wasnt
Vincents fault he didnt make it
to Witching Hour!?
Alice pauses for a second
MINDY
WHAT IF I TOLD YOU I HAVE PROOF?!

leather bound book in her hands.
ALEX
WELCOME, BROTHERS, WELCOME, MEN!
The men CLAP and CHEER, the women all take their places

He turns around

INT. MAKESHIFT CHAPEL - NIGHT


ALEX
In the beginning, there was only
darkness. We sisters grew up in a
unfair world of poverty and
sickness,torn by war,
corruption,our families destroyed
and our friends murdered.
She looks up.
ALEX
That dark age is called the Age of
Men. A putrid culture where
self-indulgence and selfishness
that lead to the deaths of untold
millions. We rejected this world,
he showed us the way, he showed us
the alternative. And from him,
weve become more powerful than man
could ever dream of.
A large THUMP is heard behind Jared,who looks around,
jimmies the door only to find its been barred from the
outside.
ALEX
And thats why were here tonight
gentlemen. Two decades later we
return to serve him. To give him
the price.
EXT. SNAKES HEAD FORREST - NIGHT
Alyce runs up to Vincent.

ALYCE
We had to burn them.
VINCENT
Burn them?
ALYCE
I screwed up Vincent. Im sorry for
what youre about to see.
VINCENT
What are you talking about!?
ALYCE
We cannot spill the blood of the
innocent. I brought you into this
world. Everything is my fault.
The brush moves again.
VINCENT
Alyce--nothing youre saying is-DELTA PSI BROTHER

A horn atop the Chapel blares. The sisters behind Alex
immediately exit. Alex remains. Its deafingly loud, several
brothers hold their ears in pain. The owls eyes begin to
bleed.
ALEX
Moloch acknowledges our tribute. I
wish you the best of luck
Gentlemen, if you survive until
Sunrise, you escape with your life.
By right of ritual: I am not
obligated to divulge any more.
Alex exits.
DENVER
Hey what the fuck is going on here?
Open the door!
Denver gets up,begins to bang the door. The rest of the
brothers do as well. Chris watches Alex exit through a trap
door, he runs over to it only to see its barred immediately
on her exit.
EXT. SNAKES HEAD FORREST - NIGHT
The horn BLARES. Vincent looks up in confusion. Alyce takes
his hand.

rustling brush

DELTA PSI BROTHER
Vincent? Hey comeA bolt SHOOTS through the brush, ZOOMING by Vincent and
Alyce directly into the Delta Psi Brothers skull. It makes a
PIERCING noise, but the bolt didnt pierce through, halfway
impaled into the Brother head. He wobbles around in the
confusion
DELTA PSI BROTHER
No--wh--n--Vincent
He holds himself on a tree, until several other Bolts take
him down, the final one goes through his mouth to silence
his moaning. Alyce grabs Vincents mouth before he can
scream, tackles him to the ground. The other boys scream
before PIERCING sounds entering FLESH silence them. Vincent
is screaming through Alyces palm, eyes open wide in fear.
BARKING is heard.
INT. MAKESHIFT CHAPEL - NIGHT
All the men are now banging on the walls and doors trying to
escape. Denver and the Mus push in unison on the main
entrance while various other fraternity brothers futility
claw and scratch the walls.

equipped with crossbows, bows, swords, axes and maces, all

Alex, she nods back, she sets the chapel aflame.
INT. MAKESHIFT CHAPEL - NIGHT
SMOKE covers the Chapel, boys are in full panic. Denver is
crying, some are curled up catatonic. Chris and the Kappa

wood. It makes a CRUNCHING NOISE. Chris uses his shirt to
SWAT out the flame, Guillermo POUNDS the wall with all his
might, other brothers, including Denver work with him, with
one HEAVE they break through into the other side.
EXT. MAKESHIFT CHAPEL - NIGHT
The women TURN around in surprise, the wall CRUMBLES, dozens
of brothers leak through. The girls, led by Alex, line up
ALEX
KNOCK AND LOOSE! KNOCK AND LOOSE!
Women FIRE the crossbows, several boys take them through
the HEART, HEAD, and STOMACH. The women then UNSHEATHE their
swords and spears, and CHARGE. Fraternity brothers are
MAULED, STABBED, and GORED by the girls in various fashion.
CHRIS looks around for the brothers, he sees several of his
own lying dead or wounded.
CHRIS
WHAT THE FUCK!?
A bolt WHOOSHES behind him. Some boys run back down to the
camp, they are chased by several DOGS, one catches a Mu
brother and RIPS his throat out. Denver and several various
brothers escape into the Forrest. The Asian fraternity
storms into the brush. Chris kneels in defeat amidst the
chaos he looks around, holds his face, SCREAMS in absolute
horror. A girl GRABS one of the Asian boys and violently
STABS him continuously, screaming in euphoria. Blood
slobbers all over her. Guillermo comes from behind and picks
him up, sprints down the hill toward the camp grounds. They
pass Jared, his foot has been caught by dogs teeth.
JARED
BIG G!!!
Guillermo charges the dog and WHAMS him with his foot. The
dog flies like a football, he puts down Chris.

rock and BRAINS the GIRL chasing him. She goes down

They meet with Hunter and Landon and escape. Jaqui looks
down the mountain and looks at Hunter with a hint of
familiarity, Hunter responds with a defiant MIDDLE FINGER
and runs away.
The chapel chaos is over, sixteen men lay slain, some of
them Kappa Sigs, still sporting the letters. Alex and
several sisters all meet in the middle.
ALEX
Update.
OWL SISTER

structural issue with the chapel.
OWL SISTER #2

Alyce sits closely to Vincent tying up his hands onto a
makeshift string using tree bark and twine.
ALYCE
This is to protect you Vincent.
Vincent says nothing, just continues looking down.
ALYCE
You might never understand it, but
youll be easier for me to protect
as a prisoner.
VINCENT
The boy, back there, his name is
Garret. I had Sociology 101 with
him. I remember he cheated on his
Midterm. Looked at answers on his
phone.
He looks up at Alyce
