Subject: Re: Alternate Screenplay: DIMINISHED SKILLS Author: Greg [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 13:55:12 01/20/05 Thu In reply to: K 's message, "Alternate Screenplay: DIMINISHED SKILLS" on 21:23:38 01/03/05 Mon Donnie unlocks hit apartment door and enters. He turns back towards the door and makes sure it is locked again. When he finally turns back around again there is somebody waiting for him right in the hallway. Donnie screams in surprise. It turns out to be Donnie's mother. Donnie's mother is dead, however, and this is her ghost. MOTHER Donnie dear you look terrible! After the initial surprise, Donnie settles down. It is apparent this is not his first encounter with his mother's ghost. DONNIE Ma! What are you doing here? His mother floats about the apartment with a ghostly feather-duster, attempting to dust his stereo. MOTHER I'm trying to clean, dear. Your place is a disaster! DONNIE You're not alive anymore Mother! You can't clean... you can't do anything... except pester me! MOTHER Seriously dear, these dishes look like they have been in the sink for weeks. I think I saw a cockroach. DONNIE Listen to me Ma, you need to get out of here. You are freaking me out! Do you know I've started drinking because of you? Scotch is the only thing that makes you disappear. MOTHER And look at your clothes, Donnie! What's all this blue stuff? And it's in your hair and... is it in your teeth too? DONNIE You need to walk towards the light, Ma. Didn't you see a light when you died? A tunnel of some sorts? You need to find that tunnel, and you need to go into the light! MOTHER I can't believe you can keep a girlfriend living like this. Does she know what a slob you are? Donnie walks into the kitchen, opens a cupboard, and removes a bottle of scotch and a shot glass. He quickly poors a shot. While his mother keeps going on and on about his messy lifestyle, Donnie downs the shot and pours another. His mother's ghost seems to fade a bit. He downs another shot and the ghost becomes barely visible. DONNIE Bye bye, Ma. Donnie downs a third shot of scotch and his mother disappears.

He walks over to the bathroom. He looks at himself in the mirror. He takes a deep breath and slaps himself on the face a few times. DONNIE C'mon Don, get it together. Get it together man! Donnie turns on the shower and begins to disrobe. Again at the mirror. DONNIE Damn it - I'm trippin' balls! I need something more. The sound of the front door opening and then closing can be heard in the background. DONNIE Finally! She's gone! Bye Ma! ...stupid ghosts ... always messing with my head. Donnie opens a drawer underneath the sink and pulls out a small vile of "medication." DONNIE There, this is what I crave. Donnie snorts a line of white powder off the counter. DONNIE (calmy) Ohh yeaahhhhhh! All better. Donnie jumps into the shower. He closes his eyes and begins to space out. DONNIE(under his breath) (Sighs) I'm a fuckin' mess. After a moment of peace, the shadow of woman can be seen through the foggy shower curtain. Donnie senses her presence. DONNIE Godammit Ma, I thought you left! Suddenly the shower curtain swings open - it's KATE. KATE Hey you - you always shower in your underwear? DONNIE What the---!!! Jesus Kate, you scared the hell out of me. Dammit! What are you doing here??? KATE Ummm ... I'm sorry. I just came over to surprise you with dinner - but you were already home. What happened? DONNIE It's a long story. I don't want to talk about it right now. KATE Okay - are you alright though? DONNIE Yes, baby I'm fine. Donnie turns off the water. Kate grabs a towel and seductively wraps it around him. She looks at him with a mischievious smile. KATE You know Donnie, we haven't been alone together for a while. DONNIE We haven't? Kate begins to slowly unbutton her blouse. KATE I have something I want to show you. Kate's blouse opens exposing her black bra (and a nice rack). KATE(Cont'd) Do you like it? DONNIE Yeah, uh, it's pretty good. KATE I have a matching thong ... want to see it? DONNIE I dunno. Kate slips off her skirt and is looking mighty tempting. DONNIE Whoa, okay - but where's the thong? KATE I lied. Kate jumps onto Donnie and straddles him. She begins to kiss him passionately. Donnie is having trouble. DONNIE Yeah ... uh, you see ... the thing is ... listen Kate ... I'm high as a kite right now ... you said something about dinner? Kate drops off and stands in front of Donnie in disbelief. CUT TO [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
