The Rich-Boy O'Matic
Don't Forget Sister (M.V.)
FADE IN:
We open up on an empty lounge. We see a
jukebox like machine attached to the wall.
This is the Rich-boy O'Matic.
The Brother, mid 20's, dressed in dreary clothes, enters.
On the counter top bar rest a stack of tokens.
Brother swipes up a token and inserts it
into the Rich-boy O' Matic.
Brother turns, and now the empty lounge
is no longer empty. We see Rich Boy, mid 20's dressed
in-style. A Woman, 20's, next to him. They stare
at Brother. Rich Boy smirks, snaps fingers and then...
A waiter brings a fine bottle of wine. We see
Brother, now wearing a silk robe, sitting on the couch.
A hairstylist, snips, gels and manages Brother's head.
Another Stylist gives a manicure. The Waiter offers Brother
the wine. Brother drinks. His every need being tend too.
He is very pleased with the attention.
CLICK. BOOM. BANG.
A series of flash bulbs go off.
Portrait Style Shots
Brother smoking a cigar, very arrogantly blowing
smoke into the air. Another shot of Brother smirking
with a woman in his arm. Another shot of Brother
laying on the couch drinking wine.
We see Rich Boy nodding in approval, enjoying this
transformation. Then Rich Boy snaps his finger
and we cut to...
The empty lounge. No one inside only Brother
who lay on the ground lifeless, wearing his old
dreary clothes.
We now cut to a beach, but it is not
a sunny day. The color, de-saturated.
Brother stands at the waterline. A glass bottle washing up.
A note tucked inside.
Brother slips the note from the bottle. It reads
"your twisted head is getting messed with"
-love sis
Brother drops the note. It lands in the sand.
We are now back at the lounge. Brother enters, a
bit more tattered then the last time we saw him.
He moves to the tokens, grabs one and inserts it
into the Rich-boy O' Matic.
Rich Boy snaps his fingers and...
The scene is a bit more obscured. We see figures
dancing. Brother smiling. Wine being poured into
glasses. Over flowing. Wine being poured into
Brother's mouth, also overflowing. Red wine running
down his neck. Women come in and out of focus.
CLICK. BOOM. BANG
a series of flash bulbs go off.
We see hands on bodies. The smoke of the cigar. The Rich
Boy smiling a devilish smile. Then Rich Boy snaps
his finger and we cut to...
The sister.
She is in her mid 20's. She sits in the cabin of a run down
boat, writing letters. We see the words on the paper
"don't forget sister she'll always be true"
"you come from a good home"
Empty glass bottles stacked on the cabin desk.
She rolls her note, tucks it into one of the glass
bottles. She turns, walks out and we...
Cut to the instrumental interlude where
we see Low vs Diamond performing. They
are positioned in front of the abandoned boat.
We are now back inside the lounge. The Rich Boy O Matic
stares out at us. Brother swiping a handful of tokens.
They scatter across the bar top. Some fall to the ground. He
jams a token into the Rich Boy O' Matic. NOTHING HAPPENS.
He turns. The lounge is still empty. He takes another token
jamming it into the machine. Still Nothing. He begins to
bang on the machine. Nothing.
He turns and sees Rich Boy smiling. Rich Boy snaps his fingers
and instantly Two Women grab Brother and start dragging him
down the hallway. Brother, confused, sacred, struggles
to get free, however, he can not break their grip.
Rich Boy follows them down the hallway.
The room is dingy. Interrogation style. Brother is locked
to a chair. We see a rolling table filled with oversized tools
Brother stares at Rich Boy, who is now dressed in a white coat,
slapping on latex gloves. RichBoy's assistant, the hairstylist
smiles at Brother motioning toward a diagram which
depicts reconstructive surgery.
Brother is frightened. The tools gleam. Richboy and the
assistant begin to go to work.
WHEN...
Sister breaks into the room. Sister shoves the assistant who
crashes into the table of tools. Sister pushes
Richboy away from her brother. Richboy falls to the floor.
Sister unlocks Brother, helps him out of the chair. The
two of them make there way out of the room.
We now are now at the beach, saturated with color.
Brother stands at the waterline with his sister.
They are close together watching the waves. A smile
crosses his face as the two of them look at one another.
Cut to the lounge as in the opening. We see
the Rich-boy O'Matic. A Man, mid 20's, dressed in
dreay clothes, enters. On the counter top bar rest a
stack of tokens. The Man swipes up a token and inserts it
into the Rich-boy O' Matic.
