EXT. OTHERWORLD REALM, DRIVE-IN, VICTOR DUDDLEY'S ORANGE
MUSTANG - NIGHT
Music, The Smiths - The Charming Man
https://youtu.be/cJRP3LRcUFg
The backdoors to the mustang open. At first who opened the
doors is a mystery. Then a lost soul appears at each door.
Their eyes are hollow. Their stare is blank as is their
expression. They climb into the backseat with BILLY BINGO.
BILLY BINGO
What the fuck?
VICTOR DUDDLEY turns and looks at them. DONNY MAXTONE
knocks on the window to where Victor is sitting in the car.
Victor rolls the window down.
DONNY MAXTONE
There is no reason to be afraid.
They are lost souls. Almost in the
sleep, sleep walking.
VICTOR DUDDLEY
Donny. Am I dead?
DONNY MAXTONE
No. I am not sure what you are
doing on this side but you and
Billy are not dead.
VICTOR DUDDLEY
I am so glad to see you. Even if
this is only a dream, such a
wonderful dream.
Donny Maxtone smiles at Victor.
DONNY MAXTONE
If but this were a dream and I
could wake and be with my Lilly.
VICTOR DUDDLEY
And I could be with Jossette.
BILLY BINGO
So why are you dreaming about The
Smiths singing "The Charming Man."
DONNY MAXTONE
You know the music?
BILLY BINGO
My mom likes them.
Billy is seated between the two lost souls and he looks at
them.
BILLY BINGO
I would really like to get home. I
am kind of scared right now.
DONNY MAXTONE
There is no reason to be scared of
them. I wish I knew how to help
them.
VICTOR DUDDLEY
Yeah. And Amelia. If only we could
help her.
DONNY MAXTONE
You remember Amelia?
VICTOR DUDDLEY
In my dreams. Sitting at that big
table. And there she is. So
beautiful. And powerful. You
know, she created all of this.
DONNY MAXTONE
And she became a prisoner of her
own prison.
VICTOR DUDDLEY
And she gave us my brother Jesus to
save us from this prison. Or that
was my dream that I dreamed. I
wonder. Where is my brother? Has
he also fallen into the sleep.
DONNY MAXTONE
I don't know.
VICTOR DUDDLEY
In my dream there are Space Alien
Witches. They think they are
superior. They think they know
everything. They don't have a clue
that they are also prisoners of
this system, this creation of
Amelia. They think they are
writing the rules but they don't
even know the rules.
DONNY MAXTONE
And you do?
VICTOR DUDDLEY
I don't know. It is just a dream.
It can't be real.
BILLY BINGO
Does Iapetus know who Amelia is?
DONNY MAXTONE
I guess he will know soon enough.
BILLY BINGO
Not from my lips. I don't think he
should know.
DONNY MAXTONE
Why?
Billy Bingo starts to cry.
BILLY BINGO
To know that God herself is like
these two lost souls making me
their sandwich, it is fucking sad.
Billy Bingo shapeshifts to be more muscular and older. He
puts his arms around the two lost souls. LOST SOUL LEFT
smiles at Billy.
BILLY BINGO
I am sorry that I was scared of
you.
LOST SOUL LEFT
Are we not to drink the cup that
the Mother Mary has given us?
There is no reason to be sorry.
LOST SOUL RIGHT takes Billy's hand.
LOST SOUL RIGHT
But try to not get so drunk on life
that you forget that you are a god
with a purpose.
The lost souls vanish.
BILLY BINGO
Were they really lost souls?
DONNY MAXTONE
Or Amelia's angels?
VICTOR DUDDLEY
Could she have sent them? Does she
truly sleep?
DONNY MAXTONE
I don't know.
