Exterior of the Pleasure Dome
Boutique. Freshly painted with
new neon signage. As Lance and
Jody walk up to the front door a
white stretch limo pulls up. The
driver opens the door and vuluptious
woman steps out and enters the shop.
Jody
Gee. That couldn’t be the star of tonight’s festivities. Could
it?
Lance
YEA, She looks even hotter in person.
Jody looks at lance with anger.
Lance
From what Binge tells me.
Lance and Jody enter store.
It is very crowded, men are
lined up at a card table stacked
with DVDs. Yuppie couples browse
and giggle.
Jody
Wow.
Lance
Yea, what happened to this place? It used to be a dive.
Jody
It has a casino / disco / art gallery feel to it.
Lance and Jody look around
Lance
Where’s Binge?
Jody looks to her left,
let’s out a cackle. Binge is
dressed like Hugh Hefner in
a smoking jacket and pipe.
Jody
Perhaps he has found his calling.
Binge walks over to
Dawn Lovelane.
Binge
Miss Lovelane, Hello, I’m Binge.
Dawn
Hi. Where’s my dressing room? And I hope you have the wine.
Binge
Hmm, buh, er, YES!
Dawn
It was all there in the contract, only an idiot wouldn’t see it.
Binge
looks over to Lance and Jody
with an idiot like look. L & J snort.
Lance walks over.
Lance
Ok, where’s the contract?
Binge pulls out a folded paper from
robe’s pocket. Jody grabs it.
Jody
I’ll go across the street to Liquor Rite and get her wine.
Lance
Do you have a place for a dressing room?
Binge
Uhm, booth five is spotless and big enough for five.
Jody
Wow, you know how to make a woman feel like a star.
Jody exits. Lance and Binge
walk with Dawn back to the
booth area. Binge smirks at Lance.
Binge holds door open.
Binge
Wait a sec...
Binge reaches into pocket,
pulls out quarters, pumps into
video. Moaning and bad jazz start
playing.
Dawn
Thank you.
She closes door behind herself.
Lance
Dude, this is your job?
Binge
I bet the cubicles in your office aren’t like this.
Binge motions to the next door,
Motions Lance in. Hands Lance
a handfuls of quarters.
Lance is looking confused. He
inserts a quarter. A panel slides
up showing inside Dawn’s booth.
Lance smirks.
Lance
What a friend.
Binge hears quarters. Smiles.
Inside of Pleasure Dome: Binge is
unpacking boxes of “The crack of Dawn” DVD’s.
A small group of well dressed men
stand around.
Lance inside of booth, feeding
quarters in silently. Eyes widen
with anticipation.
Dawn’s booth:
Standing
in front of
mirror, she reaches into her large
bag and pulls out a pint of Vodka.
Takes a huge swig.
Lance smirks.
Dawn then takes out a mirror.
Lances eyes widen as we hear
chopping / snorting / sniffing sounds.
Lance
inside of booth, a confused and
disturbed look on his face.
Dawns booth: Dawn is pulling a belt
tight around her arm like a junkie.
Dawn’s booth: Dawn is violently
vomiting doubled over.
Lance inside of booth, blocking
his eyes from the view.
Dawn’s
booth: Dawn straightens up, wipes
her chin. She turns toward the mirror and
starts to undress.
Lance inside of booth, he turns toward
2 way mirror, relaxes. He looks at his watch,
look of panic, he does the hurry up motion
with his hand.
His
phone beeps.
Message : THE RED HAWK IS LANDING!
Lance bolts out of booth.
Inside of Pleasure Dome: a larger group of
men and couples gathered. Binge is looking
at a video monitor of parking lot. Jody
steps out of her car. Lance rushes up and
casually leans on counter. Jody walks in.
Binge
Jody! You are the bestest! Thanks.
Jody
Tell me you have cups.
Binge
Well, yea, but they're all shaped like...
Inside of Pleasure Dome: Binge is
arranging table. Lance leans over
whispers.
Lance
Dude, you won’t believe the stuff I saw...
Binge spins, looks serious.
Binge
I know man, I know. Welcome to my world.
Dawn Lovelane steps into
the room looking glamourous.
Binge steps up, and in a radio
DJ voice :
Binge
Ladies and gentlemen, the star of such classics as Butt Slapper, Public
Risksposures, and the winner of 2005’s Adult entertainment’s
award for most prolific achievement in a group scene, Miss DAWN LOVELANE!
Dawn
Thank you! It’s great to be here in the middle of a jug handle in
New Jersey! This is my latest piece of artistic expression, The Crack
of Dawn part five! It sells for Forty nine ninety five unsigned, sixty-nine
sixty nine signed. If your just here to gawk, GET THE FROG OUT NOW!
Jody enters with a bag.
Jody
I had to go to two stores, the Sunup Sundown store was closed. It never
closes.
An Indian man spins around.
It’s Jem from the store.
Jem
Hey cut me a break, I came down here to see Miss Lovelane.
Jody
(growls)
Jody steps off to open wine.
Dawn
Be sure to buy your DVD now, later we will have a drawing to see who gets
to give me a whipped cream bikini!
Binge leans over to Lance,
whispers.
Lance
Cool.
Binge
Oh yea, the name she’s going to call out is yours.
Lance
What?
Binge
I rigged the contest, no matter what name she pulls, she’s saying
yours..
Lance
You rigged it?
Binge
Yea, that’s what friends do for each other. We cheat so the other
can win. Our entire American way of life is hinged on this principle that
we hold so dear...
Lance
Jody will flip!
Binge
I’ll have that base covered.

Cut
to a screen of a Discovery
channel parody. Footage of a
parachutist in a tornado.
Announcer
Coming up on Adrenaline channel, Tornado Para-Sailing.
Lance
and Jody on the couch.
Blank stares at the TV.
Jody
Wow. Everything on TV seems pretty boring now. What else is on?
Lance
Uhm, MYTHBUSTERS, tonight they test the myth about the gerbil in the
butt! I think the guy with the mustache does it.
Jody
Really? I would suspect the other one to do it. I saw it already, they
use Buster. I feel like going out on a date.
Lance
With who? Oh, uhm, Binge is having an art opening tonight.
Jody
Really? What gallery?
Lance
Well, kind of at his place of work.
Jody
He’s having an art opening at a porn shop?
Lance
Uhhhh, yea.
Jody
Something strangely appropriate about that. Almost poetic.
Lance
Do you want to go?
Jody
Hell no.
Lance
It’s also the night he scheduled the personal appearance of
Miss Dawn Lovecrack...
Jody
LoveLANE, Ugh. It figures. I wouldn’t be caught dead within ten
miles of it.
Lance
Good idea. His Russian mobster boss is returning from his
Moscow trip tonight.
Jody closes her eyes and
bites her lip. (beat)
Jody
Ok, we better go.
Lance
I’m bringing a camera this time.
Inside Liquor Rite: Jody stands before
an asian clerk. She is holding the contract.
Jody
Ok, if you don’t have in stock, do any of your other stores?
Clerk
Try my store down on twelfth.
Jody
Are you sure they have it? I'm in a hurry, I left my fiance with Binge
in a pornshop. It'll be like Eddie Haskel and the Beav in a fireworks
store with a magnifying glass.
Clerk
Yes I'm sure, it's the same overpriced crap that crazy bitch Athena
drinks!
Inside
Liquor Rite #2: Jody walks in, looks
to the counter. THE SAME EXACT clerk
is there.
Jody
Oh hi, I’m looking for..
Clerk just pulls the bottle out from
under counter, scans it.
Jody in her car driving back.
Jody
RATS! I know Binge won’t have a cork screw. He buys wine with twist
offs.
Jody’s car pulls into a third
Liquor Rite parking lot.
Inside Liquor Rite #3: Jody walks in, looks
to the counter. THE SAME EXACT clerk
is there. She cautiously walks toward the
counter. Slowly and silently asian clerk pulls
out a cork screw and rings it up. Jody’s eyes
widen.
Cut to Jody driving pissed off.
Jody returns with wine.
Jody
What posessed you to hold an art opening at a porn shop? Is this an
opening, or just a sleazy atempt to do the mommy - daddy dance with
another porn star?
Binge
Both. Just look at all of the paintings I had of Athena. Most of the
galleries I deal with are run by chicks...I mean non-males. They get
up tight about of paintings of Athena. I want to get them out of my
apartment, so I brought them in here. Kind of classes the joint up.
I sold two already. Here, let’s say Hi to the art critic from the
newspaper.
They walk over to a man
in black with a long white
pony tail and glasses.
Binge
Hi Martin, glad you could make it on such short notice...
Martin
Your best openings are the ones done on a whim. This time you have out
done yourself.
Jody
He’s kidding.
Martin
Not at all my dear, this is the most pointaint and best thought out
concept yet. What is the fine line between progressive art and pornography?
Is it art in a gallery or porn if viewed here? The statement of context
or content has never been fully realized by any other artist the way
Binge has stated here.
Jody leans to Lance.
Jody
All he wanted to do is bang Miss Express lane! Is that art?
Lance
The way he does it? Yes.
Martin
I believe this show will get you noticed in New York circles.
Binge looks to Jody with
a smug expression. Jody
just shakes her head.
A comotion is heard outside
Binge sticks his head out to
see Christian protesters with
signs marching on the side walk.
Binge steps back in excited look
on his face.
Binge
GUYS! Check this out! I got my own protesters!
Binge, Lance,Jody
and Martin
peer out of the door. A half a dozen
conservative looking people with
signs are lazily walking back and
forth on the sidewalk.
Martin
Congrats Binge! This is a good sign.
Jody
I dunno, they’re not very good.
Lance
Really, where’s the energy? Where’s the enthusiasm?
Jody
I don’t even hear them chanting.
Binge
You’ve already done so much for me tonight, can I ask one more
favor?
Cut to Lance and Jody on
sidewalk with protesters, both
yelling.
Jody and Lance
IN HELL, BINGE WILL SINGE!! IN HELL, BINGE WILL SINGE!!
IN HELL, BINGE WILL SINGE!!
Inside of store: Binge and
Martin are on their cell phones.
Martin
Hello, channel five? May I speak to the news desk please?
Binge
Hello, National Questioner? Elvis was spotted protesting at
a porn shop in New Jersey....
