INT. BLAKE'S GARAGE - NIGHT |
|
|
The door is open. The camera is looking in. It is a large
space. Blake's amp is on his left. Luke's amp is on his
right. Luke is left handed. Blake is right handed. Blake is
playing a Squire Telecaster with walnut finish and a
humbucker in the bridge position, no pick guard. Luke is
playing a black Ibanez Gio. |
|
|
Blake and Luke are playing guitar badly. After a couple poor
riffs, Luke plays "Beast in the Harlot". |
|
|
| |
BLAKE
(disgusted)
No. Avenged blows pants load. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
why? They're so bad. Why don't you
like good bands, like Pink Floyd
and Led Zep? |
|
|
|
| |
LUKE
(defensivly)
I do, I just like Avenged. |
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
You're disgusting. You're like an
animal. |
|
|
|
| |
BETH (O.S.)
Blake! Wash up for dinner! Luke,
do you want to stay? |
|
|
|
| |
LUKE
Uh... sure. What are we having? |
|
|
|
|
Beth walks in to scene. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Luke shrugs. Blake is stops playing guitar. All three walk
inside. |

floor is carpeted. There are lots of cupboards and counter
top space. |
|
|
Blake Luke Beth and Charlie are sitting at the large oak
table eating carbonara. Ad lib a discussion about life,
then: |
|
|
| |
CHARLIE
Hey boys, do you think Zep said
"let's make the greatest rock song
ever" when they wrote Stairway? |
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
(hesitantly)
I don't know. I think it would
have been hard to forsee its
sucess. |
|
|
|
| |
LUKE
I bet they did. It would be hard
not to. |
|
|
|
| |
BETH
(exasperated)
Why do you two argue all the time?
It's hard to imagine you're such
good friends! |
|
|
|
Everyone finishes thier meal without a word. The boys go to
get thier gear from the garage. |
|
|
| |
BETH
Those two suck at guitar. |
|
|
|
| |
CHARLIE
They're doing fine! I don't see
you playing an instrument! They
just need practice. |
|

|
The boys walk through the kithen and in to the basement. The
camera follows. |
|
|
| |
|
INT. BLAKE'S BASEMENT - NIGHT |
|
|
The basement is huge. The stairs leading to it are in the
middle of the back wall. The walls are bare cement. The sump
pump is humming in the background. Blake's guitars sit on
stands around the space. There is a big couch on one wall
with a TV in front of it. An X Box 360 is hooked up to the
|

|
TV. Blake and Luke are playing guitar on the couch. Their
amps are on the floor next to them. |
|
|
| |
BLAKE
Dude, we should write the greatest
song in the world! |
|
|
|
| |
LUKE
Ok. How do you like this riff? |
|
|
|
|
Luke shreds a riff way beyond his capability. |
|
|
| |
BLAKE
I like it. How's this for a solo? |
|
|
|
Blake shreds for about 30 seconds, the lick screaming from
his amp is epic and masterful. Cut to Beth and Charlie
upstairs watching TV. |
|
|
| |
|
INT. BLAKE'S LIVING ROOM - NIGHT |
|
|
Blake's living room isn't very big, but it's cozy. The TV is
on one wall, the couch on another. A chair is under the
window. The space is carpeted. A lamp is on the right side
of the couch where Beth and Charlie are sitting. |
|
|
| |
BETH
(astonished)
Did they just get good? |
|
|
|
| |
CHARLIE
(smugly)
Told you so. |

LUKE

|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
(thinks for a
moment)
Damn it! I forgot! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Boys sit and curse their luck. |
|
|
| |
LUKE
Let's try to make a funny song. |
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
Ok, I got one. This is called Va
Jay Jay: The Song. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
Sorry bro, I guess I'm just not
funny. I'm not freakin' Seth
Rogen. |

BLAKE
(opens package and
pulls out a
notebook)
I... don't know. |
|
|
|
| |
LUKE
That's weird. Where'd it come
from? |
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
I don't know. There's no stamp.
Where'd that delivery guy say he
was from? UPS or FedEx? |
|
|
|
| |
LUKE
He didn't say. Let's go to Joel's. |
|
|
|
| |
BETH (O.S.)
OK! Don't be too long! |
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
Ok sounds cool. We'll grab a
doughnut on the way for breakfast.

Joel's Guitar Shop has two main areas, the Main Area and the
Acoustic Room. Both areas have guitars hanging on the walls.
The Main Area has amps along the exterior wall of the
Acoustic Room and in the middle. Strings and accessories are
on one wall. The register, where Joel is standing, is on the

|
|
|
|
|
| |
JOEL
Hey Joel! I heard you shot yo' old
lady down now! |
|
|
|
Blake and Luke stare at each other, then accept that Joel is
weird. The boys start playing guitar. |
|
|
| |
JOEL
You know, you boys suck. |
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
(Unison with Luke)
We just need practice! |
|
|
|
| |
JOEL
Hey, you boys have two minutes to
write me a top 40 song. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
JOEL
Ok, or I beat the snot out of you. |
|
|
|
|
Lee enters with a package for Joel. |
|
|
| |
LEE
(laughs)
Who are the losers that parked
their bikes right next to the "No
Loitering" sign? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
LEE
The cops just took those bikes.
There was an incident at the
doughnut place, and the bikes
interfered. There was a
one-in-a-million chance it would
happen, but it did. Sucks for you

|
EXT. GUITAR SHOP - DAY |

BLAKE
(Unison with Luke)
Who are you?! |
|
|
|
| |
LEE
(Grinning)
Well, I'm Lee! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Blake and Luke start walking toward Luke's place. |
|
|
| |
LEE
Hey, wait up! I can give you guys
a ride if you want. |
|
|
|
| |
LUKE
No thank you... I uh, think we're

LUKE
(whispers to Blake)
Yeah, no junk! Let's ditch him. |
|
|
|

BLAKE
(whispers to Luke)
I'm down. |
|
|
|
|
The two boys start running away from Lee. |
|
|
| |
LEE
(yells)
Hey! Where're you bros going? |
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
Don't stop! We're losing him! |
|
|
|

LEE

The boys keep running. FADE TO: |

surrounded by a garden. |
|
|
|
Blake and Luke start pounding on the door. |
|
|
| |
LUKE
(shouting)
Mom! open the door! A creepy UPS
guy is following us! |
|
|
|
|
Judy opens the door. |
|
|
|
|
|

The boys start babbling about the events of the day. |

BLAKE
Ok. So. This crazy deranged UPS
guy has been following us, and
he's weird. |
|
|
|
|
There's a knock on the door. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
(whispers)
That's him! Don't answer it! |
|
|
|
Judy throws open the door and maces Lee. Lee falls to the
ground, screaming and crying. |
|
|
| |
LEE
Ahh! What the hell was that! |
|
|
|
| |
JUDY
That was mace. If I ever see you
around these boys again I'll kill
you. Leave. |
|
|
|
The boys stare in awe at Judy. Lee gets up, opens his mouth
to explain. Judy maces him again. Lee turns and runs down
the street. |
|
|
| |
LUKE
Mom! You maced the UPS guy! That
was so cool! |
|
|
|
| |
JUDY
(Starts to chew
gum)
Well, when people mess with you
kids, theres only two things I
like to do: chew gum and kick ass.
This was my last peice of gum. |
|
|
|
|
The boys walk to Luke's basement. |
|
|

BLAKE
(whispers to Luke)
Dude your mom's a badass. |

|
|
INT. LUKE'S BASEMENT - DAY |
|
|
Luke's basement is a large space. There is a sectional sofa
dividing the room in half. There is a 52 inch TV facing the
couch. To the back of the couch is a pool table. There is
also a bar. |
|
|
|
The boys are playing pool. |
|
|
| |
BLAKE
You rack, I'll break. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Luke racks up the balls. |
|
|
| |
BLAKE
Let me grab my pool bat... |
|
|
|
| |
LUKE
(laughs)
Dude, it's called a cue. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Blake breaks. Nothing goes in. The balls hardly move. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
That's what she said. |
|
|
|
|
The boys start playing. |
|
|
| |
BLAKE
Has it occured to you that we suck
at guitar? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
We could always sell our souls? |
|
|
|
| |
LUKE
No way man. I'm no republican. |
|

Luke sinks the eight ball for the win. |

Blake, come on. We have stuff to
do. |

|
| |
|
INT. BLAKE'S BEDROOM - NIGHT |
|
|
Blake's room is small. There is nothing except a bed and a
dresser, because that's what fits. For this reason, Blake
only hangs out in the basement. He only goes to his room
when something is bothering him. He has a black ceiling with
luminescent stars. |
|
|
Blake is sleeping. He is tossing and turning. Enter dream
sequence. |
|
|
|
BLAKE'S DREAM |
|
|
The scene is a poker game. JIM MORRISON is sitting with
Blake. |
|
|
| |
JIM
Blake... I like your music. It
opens doors to perception... It
rocks. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
JIM
I'll come to you... in other
forms. |
|
|
|
12.
|
| |
So wake up and play that guitar. |
|
|
|
| |
JIM
Tomorrow go over to Luke's and
jam. I'll help you. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Jim waves Blake on. |

|
|
| |
BLAKE
(to himself)
That was crazy... better do it. |
|
|
|
Blake gets up and presumably gets dressed. You see him next
on the way out the door, guitar strapped to his back, amp on
the back of his bike. |
|
|
| |
BLAKE
(yells)
Mom, I'm going to Luke's! |
|
|
|
| |
BETH
Ok, try to be headed home by
three! |

JUDY
Yeah. Luke! Blake's here! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Luke comes to the door. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
13.
|
| |
BLAKE
(exited)
Dude, Jim Morrison came to me in a
dream last night. |
|
|
|
| |
LUKE
(scratches head)
Dude, that's crazy. |
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
No way, man! He said he could help
us write the greatest song in the
world! |
|
|
|
| |
LUKE
I'm starting to have second
thoughts about this, man. |
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
What? No! Dude, I can't write the
song myself! You can't do this to
me! |
|
|
|
| |
LUKE
Ok, what do we do with the song?
Put it on FriendSpace so everyone
can steal it, and we get nothing?
No thank you. |
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
I don't beleive this! We were
gonna write the greatest song in
the world, and you're bailing on
me! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
(furious)
Whatever, man. |
|
|
|
Blake goes back to his bike and rides down the street. Fade
to: |
|
|
| |
|
EXT. GUITAR SHOP - DAY |
|
|
Blake parks his mom's bike out side the Guitar Shop. He
locks it up, and begins to walk inside. |
|
|
14.
|
| |
LEE
(from the parking
lot)
Dude! |
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
Jesus, Lee, why can't you leave me
alone? |
|
|
|
| |
LEE
Ok, man, I'm gonna level with you
here. Jim Morrison came to me in a
dream... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
LEE
Yeah, man, I know it's crazy.
Anyway, so he told me to teach you
and Luke how to rock. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
LEE
Yeah. I used to be in this band,
and we almost had the greatest
song in the world. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
LEE
Carmen, this is Blake. Blake,
Carmen. |
|
|
|
You can feel the chemistry in the air. Blake and Carmen make
eye contact, and you can almost see the spark. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
15.
|
| |
CARMEN
So you play guitar? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
CARMEN
(laughing)
That's cool. My dad's good! He
could like, teach you? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
LEE
Awesome! So lets go get started! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Blake, Carmen, and Lee go inside. All three of them grab
acoustic guitars and start playing. |
|
|
|
Meanwhile, Luke is starting to regret what he said. |
|
|
| |
|
INT. LUKE'S BEDROOM - DAY |
|
|
Luke's room is big. He has a white ceiling. His walls are
white with an ornamental trim. He has posters of bands on
the walls. His carpet is white with tan flecks. He has a
small TV and his computer desk. |
|
|
Luke is sitting on his bed, playing guitar. He is much
better than when we as the audience first met him. There is
a sad look on his face. |
|
|
| |
LUKE
(to himself)
I should be jamming with Blake
right now... Oh my god, why was I
such a freak? We suck though! and
if we do write the song, someone
would steal it. And even if they
didn't, you don't get famous off
one song, but still... we have to
try! |
|
|
|
Luke runs outside, gets on his mom's bike, and rides to the
Guitar Shop. |
|
|
| |
16.
|
|
INT. GUITAR SHOP - DAY |
|
|
Blake, Carmen, and Lee are jamming in the acoustic room. Bob
walks in, sees Lee, and screams. |
|
|
| |
LUKE
What the heck is he doing here! |
|
|
|
|
Luke punches Lee in the face. |
|
|
| |
BLAKE
Dude! It's cool! Lee is our
friend! |
|
|
|
When Blake tries to pull Luke off of Lee, Luke punches Blake
in the face. Carmen starts screaming. Joel is watching,
eating a sandwich. |
|
|
| |
JOEL
Yeah, Luke! Oh, that wasn't
fair... |
|
|
|
Blake finally pins Luke. Lee grabs him, and drags him in to
his UPS truck. FADE to: |
|
|
| |
|
INT. THE BACK OF LEE'S TRUCK - DAY |
|
|
Lee's truck is too dark to see. When Lee opens the back, you
see the space is littered with boxes. |
|
|
luke is in the back of Lee's truck. He hears muffled voices
from the cab. He is scared. The truck stops. Lee opens the
door. They are at an abandoned church. |
|
|
|
THE OLD CHURCH |
|
|
| |
LEE
Ok, dudes, in there lies the
secret to the greatest song in the
world. Let's go. |
|
|
|
They walk in to the church. The floor is littered with bones
and skulls. Lee holds a candle. They come to a door. On the
door is written: |
|
|
| |
SATAN (V.O.)
Abandon hope, all ye who enter
here... I'm the devil, and I love
metal! No R&B in Hell! |
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
Lee, I don't like this place. |
|
|
|
17.
|
|
Blake takes Carmen's hand |
|
|
| |
LEE
It's cool. If you want the song,
go with it. |
|
|
|
Lee braces his shoulder against the door and shoves it open.
On the inside there is the devil sitting inside a magic
circle. |
|
|
| |
SATAN
LEE! Why have you brought these
people here! |
|
|
|
|
Lee hangs his head. |
|
|
| |
LEE
They seek the greatest song in the
world. |
|
|
|
|
Satan laughs, shaking the whole chamber. |
|
|
| |
SATAN
These miserable rat bastards think
they can handle the greatest song
in the world!
(Bellows laughter) |
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
I think we can do it! |
|
|
|
Satan throws a ball of fire at Blake. He singes Blake's
eyebrows with it. There is a flash of light, when it fades: |
|
|
| |
|
INT. BLAKE'S BASEMENT - DAY |
|
|
The boys are sprawled on the floor. They are disoriented.
Blake looks at his hands, there is a magic circle on each
palm. |
|
|
| |
BLAKE
Dude... I think we can do it. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
(sarcastically)
Really? |
|
|
|
|
Blake starts shredding a lick. |
|
|
18.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There is a knock on the door. Blake answers it. Jack and
Kyle are there. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
KYLE
And you're Luke Hodgerson? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
JACK
I'm Jack. This is Kyle. We're
gonna teach you to rock. Where's
Lee? |
|
|
|
| |
LEE
I'm right here! What's up, dudes? |
|
|
|
| |
KYLE
Nothing really. Jim Morrison told
us to teach these boys to rock. |
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
How does everyone know each other? |
|
|
|

JACK
(Unison with Kyle

Luke is on a plain. The sky is burning red. Lightning
strikes, and Satan appears. |
|
|
| |
SATAN
Blake is destined to steal your
thunder, Luke! You can't let that
happen! |
|
|
|
| |
LUKE
He wouldn't do that! |
|
|
|
| |
SATAN
Oh, but he would. He doesn't even
want the song! Go out... play
metal! Then you'll have the song!
Blake is the enemy! |

There is a flash of light, and a Kramer Imperial appears in
a burned hole in the carpet. |
|
|
| |
LUKE
(to himself)
I'm gonna play metal! |
|
|

Luke picks up the guitar and starts playing a metal riff. It
is masterful and great. Close up on Luke's eyes... they are
black pits of despair. |

We had a deal, and now you're
doing this to me? |

metal. Don't you think we should
listen? |

BLAKE
Dude, it's the DEVIL! Put your
head on straight! He isn't going
to help us! |
|
|
|

LUKE
Don't start with that, man. You're
the one who bailed on me for
Carmen. |
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
That's totally different! |
|
|
|

LUKE
How, man? All I'm saying is if we
play metal, we'll have the song. |

Blake burries a hatchet in Bob's skull. Zooms out back into
reality. |
|
|
| |
BLAKE
I agree. We'll never get the song
separate. |
|

INT. GUITAR SHOP - DAY |
|
|
|
Blake and Carmen walk in. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
(Unison with
Carmen)
Hey Joel. |
|
|
|
| |
JOEL
Where's Luke been? I haven't seen
him. |
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
Who cares? He's dead to me now. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
The devil got to him. Dude, you
got a cord? |
|
|
|
Joel throws Blake a cord. He plugs in a guitar and starts
playing blues. |
|
|
| |
BLAKE
(while playing)
Well my buddy Luke.
He's in league with the devil.
He's got a strange looking ax,
And he's in league with the devil. |
|
|
|
|
Jim walks in from the back room. |
|
|
| |
JIM
Blake, I gotta tell you a story
about back in the day. It may
change our friendship. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
INT. MDISON SQUARE GARDENS - NIGHT |
|
|
Jim and Satan are jamming. Satan is a dude with black hair
now. They are shredding epic riffs. |
|
|
38.
|
| |
JIM
(adressing
audiance)
This next song may be the greatest
song in the world. Satan, light it
up! |
|
|
|
|
Jim starts rhythm, Satan plays a great riff. |
|
|
| |
SATAN
(adressing
audiance)
Hey. i'm the devil. The man
downstairs. This is my buddy Jim
Morrison. We think we've got it.
Now I may have done some bad
things in the past, but nothing
compares to this! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Satan pulls out a revolver and empties five slugs into Jim's
chest. A crazed fan leaps on stage and takes the last slug
to his forehead. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
INT. GUITAR SHOP - DAY |
|
|
| |
BLAKE
You used to be in a band with
Satan? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
That's too much for me to handle. |
|
|
|
| |
JIM
Satan cannot decline a rock off.
That's what you must do. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
39.
|
Blake straps a guitar to his back, grabs a hand full of
picks, and starts walk out. He pauses: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
JIM
I don't know. I don't. |
|
|
|
Carmen embraces Blake. He shakes her off, and solemnly walks
out of the store. |
|
|
| |
|
EXT. LUKE'S HOUSE - DAY |
|
|
Blake knocks on the door, not knowing what may happen. Luke
answers. His eyes are soulless pits, burning with the
deepest fires of Hell. Luke acts nonchalante. |
|
|
| |
LUKE
Hey dude. What's up? |
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
I gotta rock-off you, man. It's
the only way to beat the devil. |
|
|
|
| |
LUKE
You can't beat the devil, man. |
|
|
|
|
At that instant, Satan appears. |
|
|
| |
SATAN
Moore! You are messing up my
plans! |
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
Sorry dude. I guess it's what I
gotta do. |
|
|
|
| |
SATAN
(laughs)
Ok! Let's rock off! |
|
|
|
A giant amp rises behind Blake and another behind Satan. A
guitar materializes in Satan's hands. Blake takes his tele
from his back. Satan laughs. |
|
|
| |
BLAKE
Well Satan, here it is. If I win,
I want the song and my best friend
back. |
|
|
|
40.
|
|
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
Name it. Whatever you want. |
|
|
|
| |
SATAN
I keep Luke, Lee, Jack and Kyle.
You become an accountant and give
up your guitars for ever. And I
get your soul. |
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
I can dig that. Let's go. You
first. |
|
|
|
Satan plays "Satan' First Riff" (Written by Blake Moore, (C)
2008). Blake follows with "Blake's First Riff" (Written by

|
|
| |
SATAN
(laughs)
That was really bad! |
|
|
|
| |
CARMEN
It was better than yours! |
|
|
|
| |
SATAN
And just who are you! |
|
|
|
| |
CARMEN
I'm Carmen. I've been playing
guitar... wanna duet? |
|
|
|
| |
SATAN
(laughs)
Ok! Me and Luke versus you and
Moore. We'll see who wins it! |
|
|
|
| |
CARMEN
You first.
(whispers to Blake)
We got this is the bag. |
|
|
|
|
Satan and Luke play "S and L One" (by Blake Moore, (C) 2008) |
|
|
| |
CARMEN
That was good. But how about this. |
|
|
|
41.
|
|
Carmen plays "Super Riff" (by Blake Moore, (C) 2008) |

SATAN
(laughs maniacally) |
|

|
Satan and Luke play "That Was Garbage" (by Blake Moore, (C)
2008) |
|
|
Blake and Carmen play "The Face Melter" (by Blake Moore, (C)
2008) |
|
|
| |
SATAN
(screams in agony
as his face melts) |
|
|
|
The amps go back in to the ground, Luke's eyes return to
their normal state. |
|
|
| |
BLAKE
We did it. We beat the devil. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Blake walks over to Luke and lays a hand on his shoulder. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
LUKE
Yeah man, I'll be fine. Those were
master works, dude. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
LUKE
Oh yeah, and thanks for getting my
soul back, too. |
|
|
|
|
Destiny runs out of the house and jumps on Luke. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
LUKE
Yep! No more Satan in me! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
42.
|
| |
CARMEN
Aren't you a devil agent, though? |
|
|
|
| |
DESTINY
No, I'm a rock-exorcist. See? |
|
|
|
Destiny gestures to the possessed guitar. It no longer
glows. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
CARMEN
Let's go, dudes. We have a song to
play. |
|
|
|
Lee drives up in a black SUV limo packed with amps and the
like. Lee, Jack, and Kyle jump out. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The seven all climb in to the limo, and it rolls down the
street. |
|
|
| |
BLAKE
(from the limo)
You know, that rock off wasn't too
hard. It was kind of
disappointing... |
|
|
|
|
The other six laugh. |
|
|
| |
|
INT. BAR - NIGHT |
|
|
It is kind of dark, and big. There are circular tables
scattered about. the bar is on one wall, the stage is
opposite. The open mic host is reading Rolling Stone
magazine. |
|
|
|
The seven dudes walk into the bar. |
|
|
| |
OPEN MIC HOST
Hey, no kids here. |
|
|
|
| |
LEE
Step aside, dude. Jim Morrison
told us to come here when we got
the song. |
|
|
|
| |
OPEN MIC HOST
So you got it? |
|
|
|
43.
|
| |
BLAKE
Totes! We got that song, man! |
|
|
|
| |
OPEN MIC HOST
(gestures to the
stage)
Ok. You're on after this guy
juggling his own balls. |
|
|
|
|
The guy on stage screams. |
|
|
| |
OPEN MIC HOST
Ok, or now. |
|
|
|
The seven walk on stage carrying amps and mics. Blake is on
rhythm guitar and vocals, Luke is on lead guitar, Carmen is
on bass, Destiny has a tambourine, Lee is at a drum kit,
Jack and Kyle have acoustic guitars. |
|
|
| |
BLAKE
Ok, so uh... we just rocked off
the devil for the greatest song in
the world.... here's our story.
Hit it. |
|
|
|
The seven play "How We Beat The Devil" (by Blake Moore, (C)
2008). At the end, a crazed dude throws a bottle at the
stage. |
|
|
| |
BLAKE
Was that really necessary? |
|
|
|
| |
CROWD
Yeah! You guys suck! |
|
|
|
|
Luke grabs a mic. |
|
|
| |
LUKE
You know, if there's one thing
I've learned, it's that if you
suck, all it takes is a satanic
possession and a hot roxorcist to
make you good. That song was kick
ass, and any douchebag who
disagrees better get the hell out
of Dodge right now! This next song
is called I Wish I Was a Fish! |
|
|
|
|
Blake pats Luke on the back. |
|
|
| |
BLAKE
(to Luke)
Dude that song sucks. |
|
|
|
44.
|
| |
LUKE
(to Blake)
Just play it.
(to the rest of
the group)
We gotta slay now, guys. You
ready? |
|
|
|
| |
LEE
(with the rest of
the group)
Yeah I guess so. |
|
|
|
The group plays "I Wish I was A Fish" (By Blake Moore, (C)
2008). The crowd is silent for a moment, then starts
cheering. A fat man in a black suit walks up to the stage. |
|
|
| |
HORATIO
I'm Horatio Fellatio. I like your
music, and want you to cut an
album. Hell, maybe we'll get you a
movie deal. |
|
|
|
|
All eight of them look at the camera. |
|
|
| |
BLAKE
Uh... most of us are kids, so
maybe you should talk to Lee. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
LEE
(raises his hand)
I'm Lee! Let's talk business. |
|
|
|
| |
HORATIO
We'll record your first single at
no charge, then if it hits in the
top 25, I'll do your first album
for free. |
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
(to Lee)
Let's do it. We have nothing to
lose. |
|
|
|
| |
LEE
We're gonna do it... for Joel! |
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
We're doing it for Jim, not Joel. |
|
|
|
45.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
OPEN MIC HOST
(to crowd)
Help these guys with their stuff.
Come on! |
|
|
|
The group walks out, members of the crowd follow carrying
their stuff. |
|
|
| |
|
EXT. FELLATIO RECORDS - DAY |
|
|
It is a very tall building, made of steel and glass. Due to
FCC resrictions, the sign says "F Records". Horatio's car
pulls up first, followed by the group's limo. Everybody
gets out, and stands on the sidewalk. |
|
|
| |
HORATIO
(proudly)
Here it is, dudes. My pride and
joy, Fellatio Records. |
|
|
|
|
Blake and Luke snicker. |
|
|
| |
HORATIO
I am aware that I have a funny
name. |
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
No, no no! You have it all wrong!
We were laughing at the fact that
we have to fill up the tank in the
limo before we take it back! |
|
|
|
Horatio rolls his eyes, and holds the door open for the
group. |
|
|
|
A STUDIO INSIDE |
|
|
The band is set up in a recording area. Horatio is on the
other side of the glass wall at a control panel. |
|
|
| |
HORATIO
OK, dudes. Lets jam it. I Wish I
Was A Fish, take one. |
|
|
|
|
They play flawlessly. |
|
|
46.
|
| |
HORATIO
That was good, but we can make it
great. Extend the solo, try again. |
|
|
|
|
They play again, with a crazy solo in the middle. |
|
|
| |
HORATIO
There it is, dudes! Ha ha! So,
I'll put you dudes up in a hotel,
and come back here in the morning,
okay? You can leave your stuff. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Everybody leaves and goes to a hotel. |
|
|
| |
|
INT. HOTEL ROOM - NIGHT |
|
|
Blake and Luke are in the room. There are two beds, a couch,
and a big TV. This scene is essential to the plot! |
|
|
| |
BLAKE
You know, dude, we're gonna be
rock stars. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
Like, nothing will be the same if
we make it big. |
|
|
|
| |
LUKE
Yeah. I don't know if I'm ready
for this. |
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
I know. Like, we'll make probably
50 million a piece, and then all
sorts of people will come out of
(MORE)
|
|
47.
|
| |
BLAKE (cont'd)
the wood work. I don't want that.
I want to live at home until I'm
18, then I'll buy a Porsche and
buy a nice place in Chicago. |
|
|
|
| |
LUKE
Sounds like a plan. Me, I'm gonna
buy Destiny a nice big rock and
ask her to marry me. Drop off the
grid. Live in a trailer down in
Missouri or something. Pay for
everything in cash. |
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
Yeah. Maybe I'll write a few
screen plays and get my pilot
license, too. Buy a Cessna or
something. Fly around the country
side. get a job as an accountant
or something when the slush starts
getting low. |
|
|
|
| |
LUKE
That sounds awesome. I'll live
simply, you know? Keep what ever
is left over. Never have to work
again. |
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
yeah. You gonna pay off your mom's
place, too? I know I will. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Luke pulls out a ring box, and opens it up. A huge rock sits
on a platinum band. |
|
|
| |
LUKE
It's for Destiny. Think she'll
like it? |
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
Yeah, man! Looks like you dropped
some jack on that. |
|
|
|
| |
LUKE
Not too much. Just like, 500
grand. |
|
|
|
48.
|
| |
BLAKE
(laughs)
Yeah, that's chump change for us
now. |
|
|
|
Jim Morrison knocks on the door. Blake gets up and lets him
in. Jim walks over and sits on the couch. |
|
|
| |
JIM
(happily)
You did it, boys! You got a
contract! |
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
(hi fives Jim)
Yeah, man! Dude, check this rock
Luke got for Destiny. |
|
|
|
|
Luke shows Jim the ring. Jim stares in awe. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A DIFFERENT ROOM |
|
|
Same setup as the other one, but Carmen and Destiny are in
this one. |
|
|
| |
CARMEN
We hit the freakin' jackpot on
this one, eh? |
|
|
|
| |
DESTINY
Hells yes! I love rocking, too. |
|
|
|
| |
CARMEN
Me too. It's just so awesome. |
|
|
|
| |
DESTINY
So what are you gonna do with your
money? |
|
|
|
| |
CARMEN
Oh, me and Blake talked about it.
We're going to buy a Porsche and a
place in Chicago, then he's gonna
get a job as an accountant or
something. I don't think I'll ever
have to work again, so that's
awesome. How about you? |
|
|
|
49.
|
| |
DESTINY
Uh... I don't know. I might move
to New York or something, be an
artist. |
|
|
|
| |
CARMEN
What if Luke asks you to marry
him? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE (v.o)
(as a narrator)
Now, it's important to understand
that Destiny likes Luke as much as
Luke likes Destiny, but she
doesn't know he likes her. Earlier
that night, Blake sent Carmen a
text message telling her of Luke's
plan to propose. But it's a
surprise for a show. Carmen is
having a mini freakout about it. |
|
|
|
| |
CARMEN
What if he does, though? |
|
|
|
| |
DESTINY
I don't know... I guess I'd say
yes. Then we'd move to New York or
something, and I'd be an artist. I
want to be an artist either way. |
|
|
|
There's a knock on the door. Carmen opens the door. It's
Luke. |
|
|
| |
LUKE
Hey. Could me and Destiny get a
minute alone? |
|
|
|
| |
CARMEN
Yeah I was just on my way out. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Luke moves out of the way and Carmen walks out the door.
Luke goes and sits next to Destiny. |
|
|
| |
LUKE
You know, we're gonna be set for
life after we cut our album. |
|
|
|
50.
|
| |
DESTINY
I know, it's gonna be sweet. |
|
|
|
| |
LUKE
And I really like you. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Luke gets on one knee and pulls out the ring. Destiny gasps
and puts her hand over her mouth. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
LUKE
We'll have a long engagement. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Destiny kisses Luke. Camera cuts to Blake's room. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
CARMEN
Yep. I think they make a good
couple. |
|
|
|
There's a knock on the door. Blake answers it. It's Lee. He
is upset. |
|
|
| |
LEE
It's Jack and Kyle, man! They left
the band! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
LEE
They said we could make it with
out them, and they walked out. |
|
|
|
|
Jim walks in. |
|
|
| |
JIM
This is a setback, but we can make
it. It's ok. |
|
|
|
51.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Luke walks in carrying Destiny. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
Jack and Kyle walked out. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
I think we'll be fine... let's all
just go to sleep. Forget about
Jack and Kyle. The wouldn't leave
if we were going to fail. |
|
|
|
Everyone nods, and goes to their respective rooms. Blake
turns out the light. |
|
|
| |
|
EXT. A PARK - DAY |
|
|
Blake, Carmen, Luke and Destiny are sitting on a bench. No
one else is around. After some idle conversation, Horatio
and Lee run over. |
|
|
| |
HORATIO
I Wish I Was A Fish just hit
number one in the charts! Rolling
Stone wants an interview with
Blake and Luke right away! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Blake Luke and Horatio leave. |
|
|
| |
|
INT. A LOUNGE - DAY |
|
|
|
Blake Luke and Molly are in chairs in the lounge. |
|
|
| |
MOLLY
So, you boys have the greatest
song in the world right now. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
52.
|
| |
MOLLY
How has that changed your lives? |
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
Until we get our first concert and
our royalty checks, it hasn't
changed mine. |
|
|
|
| |
LUKE
I disagree. Having the song has
changed me. I am more responsible,
can write better music, and am an
over all better person. |
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
We've only had it for like, what,
12 hours? |
|
|
|
| |
MOLLY
Next question. Are there any women
in your lives? |
|
|
|
| |
LUKE
I just proposed to Destiny. |
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
I'm emotionally attached, yes. |
|
|
|
| |
MOLLY
Blake, care to elaborate? |
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
Quite honestly, no. |
|
|
|
| |
MOLLY
Ok... what was your inspiration
for I Wish I Was a Fish? |
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
Well, I don't know why I wrote it- |
|
|
|
| |
LUKE
This one was Blake, yes. |
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
Anyway, It just came to me in a
jam session. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
53.
|
| |
BLAKE
It's about how people get caught
up in the world, and a fish would
just relax and swim around. Like,
there's a hidden meaning if you
delve in to the song, but most
people will take it as face value. |
|
|
|
| |
MOLLY
Want to tell us the hidden
meaning? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
MOLLY
This one's for Luke. have you ever
been scared Blake would steal your
thunder? |
|
|
|
| |
LUKE
Not really. We both have our
strengths and weaknesses. |
|
|
|
| |
MOLLY
You two aren't saying much. |
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
There isn't much to say. Until we
get a movie deal- |
|
|
|
|
All three stare at the camera. |
|
|
| |
BLAKE
-You're just going to grill us on
this one song. |
|
|
|
| |
MOLLY
Are there any more songs underway? |
|
|
|
| |
LUKE
Yeah, but writing's hard. |
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
Psh. It is if you're Luke. |
|
|
|
| |
MOLLY
Ok this is getting no where fast.
Let's just leave. |
|
|
|
|
Blake's phone rings. He answers it. |
|
|
54.
|
| |
HORATIO (V.O)
(on the phone)
Hey, I got you guys a show. And I
trust you have some new songs? |
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
Yeah man, we got some songs. Some
pretty good ones, so... |
|
|
|
| |
HORATIO
(on the phone)
Great. Your stuff's in the car.
I'll be right over. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
Dude, we gotta go play a show.
Horatio's cool, so it'll be good.
Let's bounce. It's been fun,
Molly. |
|
|
|
Blake and Luke get up and walk away. Molly shouts after
them. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
EXT. AMPHITHEATRE - DAY |
|
|
Lee is in the back on his drums, Blake is center, Luke is to
Blake's right, Carmen is to Blake's left. Destiny is next to
Lee, behind Luke. The amphitheater seats 1,000, it's a full
house. |
|
|
| |
BLAKE
Uh it's an honor to be here in
front of these hundreds of
people... I'm kinda nervous. This
first song is called How We Beat
The Devil. I like it, hope you do,
too. |
|
|
|
|
They rock the house. Everyone starts cheering. |
|
|
| |
LUKE
That wasn't so hard. So I want to
do something special here. |
|
|
|
55.
|
Luke takes Destiny in a power hug and leaps in to the crowd.
They are caught and crowd surf for a bit before they are
returned to stage. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Carmen takes Blake's mic. |
|
|
| |
CARMEN
Now that we've all had our fun,
this next song is called Wait. |
|
|
|
|
They jam it hard. Every one is cheering. |
|
|
| |
BLAKE
Ok, this next one I wrote a long
time ago. It's called the Generic
Blues. |
|
|
|
| |
CROWD
What's your band called? |
|
|
|
Some girl in the audience has an orgasm. Every one cheers
for the band. |
|
|
|
Blake just stares wide eyed. |
|
|
| |
CARMEN
Thank you! We are... Electric
Dynamite! |
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
Electric dynamite? Are you
serious? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
LUKE
No! That's a terrible name! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
CARMEN
You got a better one? |
|
|
|
|
Jack leaps on stage. |
|
|
56.
|
| |
JACK
They are the Priests Of The Devil!
This next song is called 2112,
it's by Rush! |
|
|
|
|
They play the song, every one goes crazy. |
|
|
| |
LUKE
Ok, so that was fun. This next
song is considered to be the
greatest song in the world, it's
called I Wish I Was A Fish. |
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
Ok, so that was all the songs we
had... so peace! |
|
|
|
|
A helicopter comes and picks them up by sky hook. |
|
|
| |
|
EXT. A SUBURBAN HOUSE, 20 YEARS LATER - DAY |
|
|
It's a nice place is the suburbs of Chicago. A Porsche is
parked in the drive way. |
|
|
|
INSIDE |
|
|
An older Blake and Carmen are sitting on the couch. Tammy
the Tele is on a stand in the corner. Carmen's bass is next
to it. |
|
|
| |
BLAKE
Well dudes, this is my place. Yep.
I Wish I Was A Fish has been voted
the greatest song in the world,
Priests Of The Devil has been
voted the best band next to Pink
Floyd and the Doors. I bought this
house in the suburbs of Chicago a
while back with Carmen, bought
that Porsche, too. The band
drifted apart. |
|
|
|
| |
CARMEN
It was a success story, really.
Lee, Jack and Kyle died in a
tragic accident involving a photo
op with a panda. |
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
Luke finally married Destiny, and
they moved to New York. I haven't
heard from them in years. She's a
famous artist now. He's an

accountant. |
|
|
|
|
There's a knock on the door. Blake gets up to answer it. |
|
|
| |
BOB
Dude, my name is Bob. I love your
music, and you should get the band
back together. |
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
No way. Our drummer was mauled by
a panda. And Luke and Destiny
wouldn't do it. |
|
|
|
| |
BOB
But what if they did? |
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
We have no drummer. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Blake closes the door. |
|
|
| |
BOB
(through the door)
Come on, man! |
|
|
|
| |
|
INT. BOB'S KITCHEN - DAY |
|
|
| |
BOB
So I went over and talked to Blake
today. |
|
|
|
| |
MOLLY
Blake Moore? I interveied him
probably 20 years ago for Rolling
Stone. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
MOLLY
Yep. I didn't know you like
Priests of The Devil. |
|
|
|
58.
|
| |
BOB
Yeah, I'm trying to get them back
together. |
|
|
|
| |
MOLLY
Didn't their drummer like, die? |
|
|
|
| |
BOB
Yes in a tragic panda accident. |
|
|
|
| |
MOLLY
He was the driving force, Bob.
They won't get together without a
drummer. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
MOLLY
Even if you did, Luke and Destiny
wouldn't come back. |
|
|
|
| |
BOB
Wouldn't it be great if they did? |
|
|
|
| |
MOLLY
It would be amazing. |
|
|
|
| |
|
INT. LUKE'S LOFT - DAY |
|
|
Luke's SG hangs on a wall. Canvasses litter the space. There
is a white leather couch and a big TV on it's facing wall.
They have hard wood floors. The kitchen is attached by a low
wall. It is only these two rooms. A deflated air mattress
lays on one wall. Luke and Destiny are on the couch. |
|
|
| |
LUKE
Hey, do you think Blake would ever
want to get the band together? |
|
|
|
| |
DESTINY
I don't know. That would be sweet
though. Too bad Lee got mauiled by
a panda. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
DESTINY
We should go see them! |
|
|
|

Ok, sounds cool. Let's pack up and
go. |

Blake and Carmen are eating cereal in their bath robes.
There is a knock on the door. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Blake gets up and opens the door. Luke and Destiny are there
with some bags. Luke is carrying his guitar and an amp. |
|
|
| |
LUKE
Can we stay a little bit? |
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
(laughs)
Sure, dude. I'll show you the
guest room. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Blake, Carmen, Luke, and Destiny are sitting in a circle
jamming out. There is a knock on the door. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Blake gets up and opens the door. Bob is standing there with
his drum kit in a wagon. |
|
|
| |
BOB
hate to interrupt the jam session,
but looks like you need a drummer. |
|
|
|
| |
BLAKE
You know dude, you got spunk. Not
really, i just always wanted to
say that. Go get a case of pop and
we're good to go. You better be
good. |
|
|
|
|
Bob goes back to the car and brings back a cooler. |
|
|
| |
BLAKE
Well done. Come on in. |
|
|
|

BLAKE
Dudes, this Bob, our new drummer. |

BLAKE
(as the narrator)
And that is the story of how Blake
and Luke became rock legends. Two
years later they were inducted
into the Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame. Blake and Carmen finally got
married when Blake got over his
commitment issues, and they had a
kid. Luke and Destiny had one,
too. Bob never really settled
down. Blake taught his kid to
rock, Luke did the same with his.
They started a band, too, called
the Two Man Acoustical Group. They
are pretty good, and are working
on the greatest song in the world.
What of Horatio, you ask? He lived
a long and joyous life, and died
peacefully at the age of 83. He
was at a concert. |

Fade to credits and play I Wish I Was A Fish. |
