Dance of The Flamingos

A Script By: Justin Dillon

Contact: [email protected]

We see a teenager. He is 14 with brown hair.

He is reading something on the computer. He smiles and turn it off.

JakeAnd another fascinating read…good job Mark..

He gets up and walks out of a his brothers room. He opens his room’s door and walks in.

JakeI wish I could write as well as Mark…

Jake then takes out his pocket knife. He proceeds to cut his arm..he watches the blood come out.

JakeHeh-eh-heh

He hears someone pulling in the driveway. He runs out of his room into the bathroom and washes his arm off. He walks down the stares to see who is coming home. The door swings open. We see MARK 19, medium build, pretty tall.

Mark

Hey Jake what’s up?

JakeNot much I just read your screenplay “Camp Gore” suck title but Great story!

MarkHaha thanks for the compliment. Probably one of my bad scripts

though. My new one I’m workin’ on will be perfect.

JakeSweet. Can’t wait to read it dude.

MarkMom or Dad home yet?

JakeNo, they still at work

MarkOh well, Yo I’m going to sleep. This script has had me up all

night. Nighty nighty jakey.

JakeGood night Mark.

Jake then goes back upstair and into his room. He then starts to write in what looks like a journal.

JakeWELL dear journal, I just want my parents to say

something to me. I swear I have never heard them say the words “I love you Jake” I think I’m going to explode if I don’t hear these words. The only person who I think loves me or even cares about me is Mark. He’s the only one I can even talk to. My friends don’t listen or believe anything I say. Actually FUCK my friends. They don’t give a shit about me. Only good thing about the day was reading Marks screenplay. Well I have had enough of this…. This is Jake signing out.

Jake then closes the door and turns the lights off and proceeds to go to his bed. Jake goes to sleep.

CUT. INT. MORNING

Jake

MomNot right now I gotta go. Have a nice day bye!

Jake then looks at Mark who just shrugs and walks off.

JakeWell I gotta go to school bye Mark

MarkC ya little man.

Cut INT.MARKS ROOM

Mark is seen writing a screenplay.

MarkMan. This is hard writing a script about a Copycat killer copying other serial killers. If only I could get a better “Feel”.

Mark looks at the clock it says 2:30.

Mark now angry

MarkI have been working on this DAMN thing for friggin’ 3 hours and only have 7 pages? Only 1 kill too…

Mark begins to typing and then looks at the clock again. 2:45

MarkHmmm shouldn’t Jake be home by now..?

We then see Jake walking and talking to some kid named Adam

AdamMan you should ask Mandy out! I heard she has the hots for you! Man, don’t you like her too?

MandySo what do you want Adam?

AdamHey, Mandy, Jake has da hotts for you girl!

Mandy and her friends start giggling.

MandyThe LOSER who got in a fight with Corey because Corey broke his pencil?

The group start laughing.

Jakes face turns red and he tries to run away but Adam trips him.

AdamHahahahahahahahaha!

Jake gets up and runs down the street to his house.

Mandy to Adam:

MandyHaha nice Adam we got him GOOD!

They high five eachother

MandyDid he actually believe I liked him?

AdamHahahaha Yeah!

We not see Jake who runs in the house throws his backpack at the wall and turns on the T.V.

We now see Mark coming down the stairs

MarkHey Jake, its about time you came home dude!

Mark notices Jake is upset.

MarkYo bro, whats wrong man?

JakeNothing. Just stupid school stuff ya know?

MarkGot in another fight?

Jake *sigh* No

MarkWell I’m writing a screenplay about a copycat killer who well…copycats real life serial killers. I plan on him copying Bundy,Fish,Manson,Gein,Dahmer,Gacy,Zodiac,Ramirez

Jake*laughs* Nice choice in Serial Killers heh. So when do you think you will be finished?

MarkI have no clue. I’m having a hard time though. Which I think is weird because I studied all about them and everything. …..Well anyways…I am going to go get the ‘feel’ of it.

JakeWhat do you mean “feel of it”?

MarkJust thought…..I would stop by the library or something. To double check and stuff.

JakeOh I see

MarkYeah, well could you read my screenplay? Theres only 10 pages so tell me what you think of it so far. It probably sucks but…Whatever.

JakeAlrighty then! I will gladly check it out.

JakeAlright thanks.

MarkAight’ C ya

JakeC ya!

We see Mark exit and drive out of the driveway. Jake then turns off the T.V. and walks upstairs into Marks room.

JakeGOD. I can’t believe Adam did that to me.

Jake turns on the computer and looks at the screensaver it shows flamingos dancing.

JakeWhat a weirdo. Having flamingos as a screensaver

Jake clicks the mouse opens up Microsoft word and begins to read the screenplay.

Cut.TO.Marks Car

We see Mark driving. He looks frustrated.

MarkCan’t believe I’m doing this…

Cut. Back to Jake

JakeSo…the detective is on the trail of what he seems to be a copycat killer. The killer did exactly what Richard “The Night Stalker” Ramirez did.

JakeFucker… he deserves that.

Jake now starts to talk to himself

JakePretty good screenplay Mark. Yep. Wonder what mom would say if she found out you were writing these screenplays about killing.

Jake then gets up and gets down on all fours. He puts his hand under his bed and pulls out that same pocket knife and a screenplay of Marks that he printed of the computer.

Jake looks at the screenplay

JakeMy favorite screenplay of yours Mark. Yeah people DESERVE to get whats coming. What goes up must come down.

Jake puts the screenplay on his bed and takes the pocket knife and cuts himself at the same spot he cut himself before. He puts the knife back under his bed.

Jake then turns the screenplay to Pg.43 and reads it.

JakeYeah that bitch deserves to get that Mark!

Jake reads the screenplay aloud to himself.

JakeAnd Tom then slapped her. He was so frustrated with her. He slapped her again and then proceeded to rape…

Jake then laughs.

JakeHahahaha you got what you deserved!

We then can see tears from running down Jakes eyes. He puts the screenplay back under his bed and exits his bedroom. He then goes into the bathroom and turns the water on. He washes the blood off.

MarkI’m sorry. I was working on my screenplay…

PrincipalWell, I’m very disappointed in you. You always got to school in time when you went! Jake cannot be late anymore or I will be forced to suspend him.

The principal then hands Jake a form to sign out.

PrincipalAlright. Hurry and go to Mr. Boudrie. You know he will be mad! You have a test to do. And you only have 10 minutes. Big test.

The bell rings. The kids cheer and run through the halls like a pack of wild flamingos!

Jake is seen walking out of the school eyeing Mandy. But keeping his distance.Jake then follows Mandy for a whilst she talks to her friends. She doesn’t even notice him.

Mandy then crosses the street. That’s her house across the street.

JakeOh your going to get it Mandy.

Jake then notices Mandy’s parents shouting at Mandy

Mandys ParentsHey Mandy! Me and your father are going out.

Mandy shouts back

Cut. Int. Unknown Parking Lot

Mark sees some young teenage girl walking towards him. Nows his chance! Mark then pretends to struggle trying to put the T.V. in the trunk. Mark then says something to himself.

Lisa then tries to put the T.V. in the trunk and notices that the trunk is full of stuff. There is one spot in the back of the trunk that she says that she can put the T.V. down on.

Mark

Oh sorry! Yeah the trunk is a mess! Umm you might have to get in the trunk to put the T.V. in there. Yeah the car wasn’t working that great and I kinda slammed on the brakes. And the T.V. fell out. Weird how none of that other junk came out though.

LisaYeah that is weird…

Lisa then gets in the trunk and puts the T.V. in it

CUT. INT. Mandy’s house

Jake is in Mandy’s house he takes out his pocket knife in his pocket and looks around. The living room is empty. He notices the stairs and decides to go up there. He sees a door cracked open and Mandy’s voice talking on the phone.

JakeI have to go through this EVERY day. By you by Mandy by Mike by Corey by Dennis BY EVERYONE! I am sick of it. I am going to make EVERYONE pay!

Adam gets up and is really pissed off now.

Jake then runs over to the wall and punches it really hard.

Jake …..Mark will know what to do…He’ll understand….

We can see Jake trying to get calm. He stops breathing as hard.

JakeI’m a murderer….I’m so scared…

Jake then has flashbacks of him being at his dad’s funeral. And flashbacks of him getting beat up at school. He also has a flashback of the rape scene.

JakeNoooooo….

Jake is now bawling his eyes out crying..

JakeWhat do I do…how…why…I was protecting myself…He was going to hit me….but I also raped Mandy….

Jake’s hands are trembling. His eyes full of fear…not remorse for what he did…but fear of going to jail…fear of what his brother will think of him….

MarkAlright alright stop screaming. Calm down. Tell me exactly what happened.

JakeYesterday I raped Mandy…I had enough of whats going on in school. I told her not to tell anyone but she did. She told Adam. So Adam came over here and was trying to start shit. So, I sliced his throat…Hes dead…

JakeYou serious?

Mark Dead serious.

JakeI can’t believe it….

MarkHurry the hell up and clean the blood up. Oh yeah and get the shovel from the shed and put it on the front porch. We got some digging to do.

Mark then punches Mandy in the face knocking her out. He hurredly takes her unconscious body and throws it in his trunk. He drives to his house

INT. Mark and Jakes house

Jake is seen on the front porch with a shovel. He has a different shirt on and different pants.

MarkAlright get in the car and put the shovel in the trunk.

Mark then runs in the house and carries Adam’s body out. He throws Adam’s body in the trunk also.

Mark

Alright lets go

Mark gets in the car and drives off.

It is silent the entire trip there until Jake says something.

JakeWhere are we going?

MarkWe are going to my secret place. We are going hide the bodies underground in a hole. You’ll know when were there. There’s a very noticeable broken down empty farm there.

JakeMark..I’m sorry.

MarkOh, don’t be sorry. You just fucked both of us pretty fucking good.

JakeMark…

MarkShut the hell up. We will have plenty of talking to do when were there. It’ll take you a while to dig that hole.

Jake then goes back to being silent

Cut. INT-Farm

Mark then opens the trunk. Mandy is awake. Mark takes out the gun and shoots her in the head right then and there.

JakeHoly shit dude!

MarkGo dig the fucking hole.

Mark throws Jake the shovel. Mark then takes Adam and Mandy’s body and puts it next to a tree. Build the hole next to the tree.

Jake nods and then starts digging.

MarkSo why did you do it?

JakeI’m sick of all this man. Mom never talks to us. Dad never liked us anyway. I get picked on everyday at school. Teachers don’t like me and fail me. I’m just so sick of this. I can’t deal with this.

MarkI see what you mean. Never liked Dad anyway. Mom….just doesn’t care about us.

Mark then laughs out loud for a while.

JakeDude whats so funny?

(pause)

Mark then laughs out loud again.

MarkHahaha. The thing I’m most pissed about is not going to finish my script. Haahaha

Jake has a confused look on his face.

JakeWhat do you mean? You went through all of that and your not going to finish it? You should dude. I never got around to saying it but I really admire you. I look up to you man. You’re the only one that cares about me…you’re the only one who gives a shit about me… Mark I love you man…

MarkI appreciate that. You’re a cool lil’ bro.

Jake then starts crying.

JakeI can’t believe I killed someone.

(pause)

Jake then continues to dig for a while.

JakeI really liked Mandy too…

Mark has a frustrated look on his face

JakeWhat’s wrong? How come your not going to finish the script? You never did answer that..

MarkI’m not going to finish it because I’m going to be dead.JakeWhat the fuck?

Mark then laughs again

MarkWell you see…We have to die. I don’t want to get caught. First I’m gonna kill you then I’m going to kill myself.

Jake then starts crying again

JakeNO NO NO!!! DUDE NO!!

MarkWe WILL get caught! You fucked up my life and your life. You fucked up my screenplay too. You should be grateful I’m even doing this! I’m saving you! I love you too Jake!

JakeNo! Please don’t! NO!!!

Mark then laughs again

MarkSo funny! In my script. At the end I was going to have the copycat killer suicide. Hahhahaha now I’m going to suicide! The irony!

JakeDude this isn’t funny! We can get away with it!

MarkNO WE CAN’T!

JakeMARK! NO DUDE PLEASE! WE CAN GET AWAY WITH IT! I SWEAT WE CAN!

MarkDON’T YOU SEE?

(pause)Mark then lowers his voice

MarkAlright. Mandy told Adam right? And Adam is just a friend correct?

JakeYeah but-

MarkShe sounds like the kind who is a bigmouth and has like 10 boyfriends.

JakeYeah but we can-

MarkDoes she have any boyfriends right now?

JakeWell…yeah….Mike…wait no…Mike is a really close friend of hers now. Since they broke up.

MarkSEE!? She probably told Mike or whoever the hell any of her close friends are!

Jake then stops digging. With a “I think you’re actually right” look on his face.

JakeI don’t want to die…

MarkYour just lucky she didn’t tell her parents! And its better than going to jail.

Mark then points the gun at Jake.

JakePLEASE DON’T! MARK STOP PLEASE!

Mark doesn’t say anything.

JakePUT THE GUN DOWN! PLEASE MARK! I LOVE YOU! STOP PLEASE!

We can see a tear go down Mark’s eye for the first time…

Mark

I’m sorry…

BANG!!

Right before Jake dies we see a flashback of Mark’s screensaver. The dance of the Flamingos…Mark then points the gun to his temple.

MarkI loved writing…I just wrote the end to my own story…This is my life…

BANG!!

The End.
