Number one in a series:
Scene: A New York City Nightclub, 12PM Loud typical club music (tracehouseelecto) is blaring. Random minimal lights. Spotlight raises on GOGOBOY as scene begins.
CLUBGOERS are dancing to the music with some party noise "woohoo". ONE is using a glowstick. GOGOBOY is dancing on a pedestal, with his eyes toward the lights. BARRY and AMELIA enter THE CLUB. There heads are bobbing to the music. They are getting into the grove. AMELIA's eyes are on GOGOBOY almost immediately. After 10-15 seconds to set the location, BARRY speaks and the music goes down but not completely out.
BARRY: Happy Birthday, Sweetheart!
AMELIA: Omigod baby, this is amazing! Thanks for bringing me here! This place is AMAZING!
BARRY: Anything for my girl on her birthday! You want a drink or something? You can have anything you want!
AMELIA: Anything I… (voice trails off. AMELIA stares up at GOGOBOY)
I want THAT! (points up to GOGOBOY)
BARRY: (taken aback) Oh, um, well, hey, yeah, I’m feeling pretty secure and I did say anything for my girl tonight!
AMELIA: Oh, thanks sweety, he’s just, …wow. I’m going to go talk to him.
AMELIA walks over to where GOGOBOY is dancing on pedestal.
AMELIA: (yelling up to GOGOBOY) I want to kiss you!
A beat…
AMELIA: Hey……I want to KISS you!
AMELIA walks back to BARRY.
AMELIA: (to Barry) Omigod. He totally ignored me.
BARRY: These guys work for tips. (pulls out a $20 bill) Give this a try.
AMELIA walks back to GOGOBOY, smiling, determined. She waves the bill up in the air.
AMELIA: Hey, SEXY! Howabouta kiss on my birthday lips?!?
A beat…
AMELIA returns to BARRY and forcefully gives him back the $20 bill.
AMELIA: I don’t get it. Am I ugly? No. Omigod. (tearing up) I’m getting OLD!
BARRY: No, No, that can’t be it. You’re as gorgeous as the day I met you. I mean, look at the guy. He’s really HOT. You’ve got to turn it up a notch.
AMELIA: Turn it up a … OH! I know…
AMELIA returns to GOGOBOY.
AMELIA: Hey sexy. I want to (filthy 20 second tirade here – your call)
BARRY looks on a little bit disgusted at first but then entranced as it goes on.
A beat…
A beat…
AMELIA returns to BARRY.
BARRY: You, uh, really outdid yourself there. But I think you should give up. He’s obviously gay.
AMELIA: Ya’ think?
BARRY: Absolutely 100% gay. So you know what that means…
AMELIA: You’re right.
AMELIA starts to pull BARRY in the direction of GOGOBOY.
Go get ‘em tiger.
BARRY resists.
BARRY: Whoa, hold on. What are you suggesting here?
AMELIA: If I can’t have him PHYSICALLY, then I’m going to kiss him VICARIOUSLY!
BARRY: But, I’m not…
AMELIA (adamant look on face, then turns treacly sweet) But it’s my birthday…
BARRY straightens out his shirt, looks AMELIA in the eye and walks over to GOGOBOY.
BARRY: Hey, buddy, how ‘bout a kiss?
A beat…
BARRY looks toward AMELIA and shrugs. AMELIA stares back and makes the ‘currency’ motion with her fingers. BARRY pulls out the $20 bill and turns back to GOGOBOY.
BARRY: Hey, SEXY! I got some money for some man-on-man lip action here!
A beat…
BARRY looks toward AMELIA. AMELIA stares back.
AMELIA: (yelling across the dancefloor) WHATEVER IT TAKES!
BARRY: Hey sexy. I want to (starts mechanical and then BARRY really gets into this filthy 20 second tirade– again, your call, but I can probably help you with this one)
AMELIA looks on, intrigued and then maybe a little aroused.
A beat…
BARRY runs over to AMELIA
AMELIA: Oh, wow. Um, are you as turned on as I am right now.
BARRY: Let’s go home?
AMELIA: Totally!
BARRY and AMELIA run out of the club groping one another as they leave.
A beat…
ONE approaches GOGOBOY. Taps his foot. GOGOBOY looks down, still dancing. ONE makes some general sign language gestures.
ONE: (in a crude deaf-person kind of voice) Hey, sexy….
GOGOBOY: (also in a crude deaf-person kind of voice and signing at the same time) Hey there yourself. Looking for a good time?
GOGOBOY jumps down from the pedestal and gropes ONE.
