Scenes 20, 21, 22, 23
INT. STOKERS' BACK ROOM - CONTINUOUS
Charlie enters, house lights up, house music playing, he
played here way back, waxes nostalgic, getting the feel
again, looks room over, nervously makes his way across floor
towards bar.
CUT TO BAR:
Charlie leans on bar. Jake approaches.
CHARLIE
Scotch, single malt, shot glass.
Jake nods. Charlie looking around. Jake returns, shows bottle
to Charlie, approves, Jake pours, Jake appears curious,
Charlie salutes, throws it back.
CHARLIE (CONT'D)
Another please?
Jake pours, Charlie salutes, throws it back.
CHARLIE
(to Jake)
Thanks.
Charlie hands Jake a twenty, Jake heads for register. Charlie
calmer, scours room for Boston. Jake returns, leaves change
on bar, appears curious, attends to others.
Lights go down, house music fades, stage lights up, Boston
lit with a spot.
He sees Boston, within reach, for first time, a handsome
young man, Charlie's emotionally awestruck.
CUT TO STAGE:
BOSTON
This one's for Allie.
Boston sings "Wonder" written by Dan atStarLite
CLOSE UP: on Allie. She too is pleasantly surprised.
CUT TO BAR:
Charlie's captivated. Boston's singing fades under, Charlie
speaks to himself over music.
CHARLIE
(to himself in awe)
Oh my God... he's beautiful. My
beautiful rock star.
(Pause)
He has his mother's hair... maybe
those baby blue eyes too.
(Pause)
So handsome...
P.O.V. Charlie: he turns to Allie, focused on Boston.
CHARLIE (CONT'D)
(to himself)
She's into him.
P.O.V. Charlie: back to Boston.
BOSTON (CONT'D)
Good singer... so confident.
(Postulates)
So, what to say? Should I call him
son?
(Fearful)
But, what if Harriet's right? What if
I screw everything up? What if he
hates me?!
Suddenly, in background, a second voice, faint.
JAKE
Hey, don't I know you?
Charlie hears it vaguely, drops out of the moment, Boston's
singing fades back in. Charlie looks confused.
JAKE
(louder)
I said, don't I know you?
Charlie turns, sees Jake, caught off guard, at a loss for
words, panic attack.
JAKE
(confident)
I'm pretty good on faces and you look
familiar.
CHARLIE
(Smiles nervously)
I don't think so.
JAKE
(Confidently)
Well, it'll come to me.
Charlie forces another grin. Jake's suspicious, returns to
bartending. Charlie waits for right moment, exits.
EXT. STOKERS' PARKING LOT - CONTINUOUS
Charlie enters parking, difficulty breathing, takes out
pills, swallows them, waits a moment, emotional.
CHARLIE
I can't do this.
Puts on helmet, rips out of parking lot.
INT. GAY BAR HAMILTON - LATER
Curtis standing in shadows. Dance music playing. Young men
dancing. Lights dancing.
Charlie enters. Gets a beer. Moves around room. Cruising.
Charlie gets cruised by hustlers.
Charlie catches Curtis' eye. Charlie dances with the young
men. Curtis moves to get better view, perks up.
P.O.V. Curtis: Charlie dances very well, masculine, fluid.
A young man shows interest, Charlie responds, they appear to
hit it off. Curtis looks jealous, watches closely, feels left
out. Frustrated, heads to the washroom.
INT. GAY BAR BATHROOM HAMILTON - CONTINUOUS
Music in background, Curtis enters, stands at urinal, unzips,
closes his eyes, head tilted back, starts to urinate.
Suddenly...
CHARLIE (O.S.)
Nice piece!
Curtis opens eyes, startled. Charlie's leaning on next urinal
staring at Curtis's junk. Curtis turns back. Charlie smiles,
lays on charm.
CHARLIE (CONT'D)
Are you shy?
Curtis doesn't answer, finishes, zips up, heads to sink,
glances back at Charlie taking a leak. Curtis washes hands,
watching Charlie in mirror above sink, taking his time.
Curtis getting aroused. Charlie's manly and intimidating.
Curtis is curious.
Charlie zips up, heads to the sink, soaps up hands, checks
Curtis out. Curtis now grabs paper towel, dries hands, chucks
paper towel, looks into mirror, fixes hair, trying not to
look obvious but does.
Sexual tension is building. Charlie takes the lead, shakes
water off his hands, reaches behind Curtis, grabs paper
towel, steps sideways blocking Curtis' exit, being obvious,
dries his hands, takes in the back of Curtis' neck. Curtis
turns to face Charlie, rests his bum on the sink counter,
waits for Charlie to play. Eyes lock. It's on. Charlie tosses
paper towel, moves in on Curtis, backing him firmly but
gracefully up against the wall. Curtis makes no effort to
resist, pinned, arms over his head, Charlie covers him with a
kisses... first lips, neck, ears, again and again. Curtis
breaks hands free placing them either side of Charlie's head
kissing him back aggressively. Charlie responds, grabs
Curtis's ass then turns him to face the wall. Curtis,
excited, splays himself with hands over his head, legs
spread. Charlie grinds his crotch against Curtis's ass,
reaches around grabbing Curtis's cock through jeans, both of
them ramping it up, loving it, Charlie kissing the back of
Curtis's neck, Curtis moaning ever so quietly. Then, with a
firm hold on Curtis's package Charlie kicks a stall door open
and gently directs Curtis to enter.
CURTIS
(Quietly but firmly)
Not here!
Charlie holds back but continues kissing him sensuously.
CURTIS
(almost afraid to ask)
You got a place?
Charlie nods yes. Curtis is delighted. Charlie backs off to
make room for Curtis to pass.
Excited, Curtis straightens his junk. Curtis leads. Charlie
follows as he reaches into jeans' coin pocket. Takes out
pills. Swallows them.
Hey @steemfilm, where are you located? Have we talked about this before? I'm in L.A.
Improv... I don't believe we've spoken before. I'm in Toronto. Are you an actor?
I am. Perhaps we hadn't spoken yet, I've reached out to a few filmmakers on Steemit over the past couple months, and I thought you were one of them, but maybe not. Toronto, eh? Do you know We Make Movies Canada? I'm a part of a film collective in L.A. that has a branch in Toronto: https://www.facebook.com/WMMCanada/
