Excerpt From:

“DJ AND CC TAKE HOLLYWOOD”

Wait, CC—you're a sex addict?!

I'm an everything addict! You know this!

I didn't know!

—Except pills; I hate pills.

What? I've seen you take pills before.

Case in point!

Why didn't you just tell me?

It doesn't exactly come up organically in conversation, Dillon.

What?! We talk about sex all the time.

Like, in general—but not fórreal! What the fuck!

What the fuck?! Whats the difference?!

If you have to ask, I feel like you're really not gonna like the answer, dog.

“WorstConversationEver”

(Bong rips)

Remember your dad's friend Tom?

Oh my God. You fucked Tom?!

NO!

okay, cause—

I sucked his dick while I pretended to mow the lawn!

What the hell?!

—and he still paid me.

Whatthefuck.

Yeah, fucked up.

So who mowed the lawn?!

He mowed his own lawn!

This is the worst conversation ever.

The crazy thing about this story is—

There's a lot of crazy things about this story, actually.

EXT. BASKETBALL COURT. DAY.

Alright— shirts and skins —Shirt—Skin Shirt,Skin—

Uhh! Nah. I wanna be “shirts”

Why dude?! Your girl's mad hot!

So?!

So I know you got it goin on! Look at you!

I'm mad rich!

Yeah—but girls always cheat on flabby rich dudes! With hotter dudes.

My girlfriend might be cheating on me!

Yeah—She's not, though.

How do you know?

Cause I tried!

Yeah. Take your shirt off.

No—uh! How do you know she's just not into you!

Because! He tried—

HE tried!

You sell out.

And Andre tried—

[ANDRE is tall (about 6'9 dark, and handsome]

—you too, bro?

[ANDRE shrugs nonchalantly]

That's an NBA player—

What the FUCK, YO.

—and she said NO.

ANDRE

Yup. Shot me down.

Oh really—from all the way up there?!

Face it, man! You're fuckin hot!

I don't like the way that sounds coming from you—

Take your shirt off!

Were you this aggressive with my girl?!

Don't be like that…

Nah— fuck you!

Yo! C'mon, man—

And you three!

You're holding up the game getting mad over nothing. It's Hollywood!

It's Beverly Hills!

—Exactly my point!

You're new here—you'll catch on.

You know what!

I'm shirts—you're skins—Game on.

[SUNNI BLU goes beast mode and plays the dirtiest, most whoopass game in history—out of spite and anger of the toxic masculinity; this of course earns SUNNI BLU even more respect as a “man's man”]

Later: as the owner of the clippers, sunni BLU trades “Andre” to the worst basketball team in history.

SUPACREE buys DIPLO a glass house to replace the one he burned down in a crime of passion.]

There, now, you'll stop throwing stones—

Huh!

AND. Everyone can see when you ugly cry.

*humphs*

Now, stop it!

Is it supacree?

Uh?

Could be Sunni Blu.

Sunni Blu is a dude—

Sunni Blu is pretending to be a dude.

Oh yeah, huh.

Dang.

Huh.

Well, then.

We've gotta consult The Big Book of Dillon Francis.

Don't say that like it's some kind of guide book.

It is a guidebook.

To what??

To Dillon Francis!

That's preposterous.

Didn't you choose Sonny?

Didn't I waste my time writing the great big book of Dillon Francis!?

Touché.

Might as well do something with it.

I got it.

THIS IS ENVIRONMENTALLY IRRESPONSIBLE.

BURN IT ALL.

You're gonna hurt someone's feelings.

Yeah, my own.

STOP TOUCHING THAT.

Wait, where is—

Fuck.

What?

Now I'm “that girl who fell in love with Skrillex”

Lol, which one.

Hum. The one who wrote a novel about it.

Pick your poison.

Rum.

Not a rum and coke?

No, just straight up—you know what? How much is the bottle?

Uhhh. Just.

[SUPACREE pours the remains of the bottle into a red solo cup.]

Ugh. Come on.

What! At least you're not “The Black Yoko Ono”

How did you even find out about that one.

Infinite what the fucks.

Now the world's getting mad again,

I wrote something damaging;

Doors just start slamming at random,

And coughing—

Sounds of motorists passing,

Just scrambling my brain,

I'm insane, but at least I have plainly created

What may be historical, one day—

I've made a whole masterpiece, a symphony that easily outlives me, infinity—

My body's just a body

Rush a cop just got get off this awful planet;

I don't want what comes with poverty and fat,

I don't compete with Instagram models,

And everyone does that—

I'm not a catfish, facts are facts

I use my camera just to document the interesting phenomena I happen to walk past;

Saw Dillon Francis on a wall, and had to grant the wish he asked—

But don't know what it is exactly,

I'm just happening, actually—

I probably need nap but now Insomniac's been tracking me;

I happily allow it; I program myself with beats,

So when I finally sleep, I dream in music sequences, or something—

I don't know

I might delete it upon listening to rampant white supremacy or privelege on repeat,

But that's just me,

Forgetting I'm the one in trouble,

On the run, without a family

So perception is reality, and mine is badly damaged—

Damn Pasquale again, I had to re-decipher all the messages transmitted from imaginary friends,

Collecting images in infrared

*gasp*

Okay, just—breathe…

I can't! I have to wear a mask!

It's mandatory—so is being black,

I have to! But I'm not a rapper!

Maybe I should talk to Chance,

Or Marshall Mathers:

They might have to answer

To the questions that I can't afford to ask

This automatic writing might just be the most

Goddamned advanced evidence of intelligent inhabitants in other dimensions, or other planets

Or all of the above,

Or maybe just of Dillon Francis using magic,

Which he got from—

Oh, no, here it comes

SK—

Fuck this. Fuck this mother—FAWN.

Are we out of F*cks, then?

I floppin' guess!

I thought you loved him.

It is what it is.

What is it?

INFI—

THE END.

INFINITI!

...yes, mom?

GET IN HERE,

Huh?

Don't say “huh”.

Okay, what?

Don't say “what”

…

…

…

...welll, what do you want?

What is this?

*shrugs*

INFINITY

[ooh, with a ‘Y'

that's how you know mom's angry this time]

*COUGHS*

Betcha his photographer's in love with him.

Which one has the VooDoo Doll?

There's a Skrillex VooDoo Doll?

It's technically ‘Sonny'

Aww.

You'd be surprised at the shit these girls will—

INFINITY.

WHAT.

What is THIS?!

It's just—Skrillex.

AFH.

Now you're FUCKED.

I thought we were out of FUCKS.

That was FAUX.

Awww: I see what you did there.

Am I done now?

What does Dillon Francis want?!

—don't answer that.

[whispering in ear.]

That's not possible

So. I shifted a consciousness into this rock.

Why would—why?

For good luck.

Oh, this is a problem,

But it turns out.

HUH.

Damn. I'm on one,

I have blue balls,

This is not fun. This is not fun. This is not fun.

Okay; now you're done.

So, that's it--? You really want to ride this Sinking Ship?

If that's what this is, then I guess that says it.

Says…?

Says “I just bought a ticket to Titanic at Bass Canyon.”

Is that where you bought it?

Is it?

Why would you give yourself in, for him?

(For Anyone?)

In.

(Psh)

I gave myself out.

Out? Look at you.

Look at me.

I'd rather not.

In the booth I'm eating waffles.

Key: F

It's such a wonderful feeling–

leaving, release,

sweet relief,

Slowly bleeding out

Dreaming, in peace

With no reason

to grieve–finallly–

Freedom

Mm-hmm

mm-hmm

Mmm-hmmm

I'm so LA for no reason.
