FOOT MODELS




A screenplay written by Jacob JonesVelvetj.jones@gmail.comCopyrighted November 19, 2008

EXT. -- BASKET BALL COURT -- DAYAn eye-appealing bare foot covered in sweat pivots to the side slowly as a man exhales dramatically. The man licks sweat beads off his upper lip then slides his foot in a clear shoe that automatically forms to his foot.As an eagle screams a hand grips on a basket ball tenaciously squeezing it. The man’s lower half takes off leaping from the half court mark. His legs spread and he vertically climbs into the air.While slam dunking the basket ball a back board shatters. An athletic model wearing luxurious and gaudy basket ball shoes casually walks to the half court mark drops the ball and rests his foot on it.DIRECTORAlright cut! The Director is big bald and sweating. He chews on a cigar and speaks from the side of his mouth.DIRECTORRyan, get in there. Hurry up continuity baby.Ryan, an overweight but, athletic foot model wearing a shirt with a keg on it walks up to the marker and places his foot on the ball. The athletic model takes his foot off the ball and walks away.DIRECTORThe camera is rolling keep the ball still! Rolling... Action!Ryan, wearing the new clear shoe, places his foot on the ball. A gold logo flashes across the shoe and it glistens in the spotlight.RAYN (V.O.)That’s me. The athletic model walks up to the camera.
RYANNot the model, the foot. I’m a been told that I have beautiful foot model. My whole life I have feet. I’ve never had an ingrown toe nail or bunions. The director moves away from his camera and quickly shuffles to another one pointed at Ryan’s foot. RAYNIt’s my job to make sure my foot looks better than yours. DIRECTORGo ahead. Look at it!.. Look at it!!!An Assistant Director measures the light by Ryan’s foot. The director twists his cigar and smiles with content as his assistant director gives him a thumbs up.DIRECTORI know it’s hard to look away when you see a foot that fucking perfect.The Assistant Director, wearing a microphone headset, walks up to a small video monitor and looks closer at the image of Ryan’s foot. ASSISTANT DIRECTOR(softly)It’s so perfect.Ryan holds his foot on the basket ball as the director zooms in on a the futuristic bubble wrap looking new basket ball shoe. RYANIt’s no surprise I can make a living just modeling my feet. The pedicures, creams and unique cosmetics keep these puppies looking fresh. As Ryan walks away from the basket ball he spins it with his foot. The director with camera in hand follows Ryan’s foot steps away from the spinning ball.Pictures of Ryan’s foot are shown by a hand opening a photo album. The hand flips through pages comprised of foot photos. Each photo has it’s own distinct design and setting. RYAN (V.O.)(bragging)From my knees down I’ve been in commercials all over the world and featured in every magazine you could think of. I’m even on the cover of the 2004 June addition of National geographic. On the cover of the national geographic is a picture of a man spitting fire.RYAN (V.O.)In the crowd behind the starving children. I’m the foot wearing Croc sandals. That’s my foot. Oh, and in the Friend’s second season third episode, Chandler stumps his toe and for one second there is a close up on what you think is his foot... That’s my foot.A director holding the camera on Ryan’s foot wipes his brow.DIRECTOR(shouts)Alright cut!The director puts on shades and a top hat the walks up to Ryan. The director extends his arm to shake Ryan’s hand.DIRECTORBeautiful baby. Nice spin on that ball.RYANJust one of my many talents.DIRECTORWhen you showed just a little bit of the soul. Perfect. That’s what I want. Just take ten and we will do the shot one more time. Perfection baby it’s got to be perfect.Ryan watches a man beside the craft services table. He is wearing the same shoes as Ryan and shares the exact same physical build. In appearance they are very similar with an exception of the nose. Deen, the man beside the craft service table, continues munching on snack as a seductively attractive woman approaches him. The director walks up to the craft service table and grabs a bag of chips and soda then grabs the woman’s ass. She looks at him and smiles. DIRECTORHey, Deen! Can I talk to you for a minute? The Assistant Director leans even closer to the video monitor which is still holding an image of Rayn’s foot in the new basket ball shoe.ASSISTANT DIRECTORIt’s amazing what beautiful feet do for a shoe. RYAN (V.O.)It’s not just my feet but, my calves are perfectly in proportion to my feet sleek smooth and tan. That makes me a below the knee model. People keep telling me my thighs are too fat and my face is kinda ugly. Ryan watches the director and his brother Deen converse over a table full of snacks.Ryan If it wasn't for that I would be a full body model. But, hey I’m not complaining my foot and I have done pretty well for ourselves. Ryan speaks to the director’s camera as he watches the director talk to his brother Deen.RAYNWhen people say I’m not a model. I show them my foot. The director shares a laugh with Deen and pats him on the back.DIRECTOR(loudly)That’s why we pay you the big bucks.The director looks down at his watch and turns to his Assistant Director. DIRECTORTell everyone they have ten minutes.The director walks up to his female assistant who is wearing a head set and holding a coffee and turns back to Deen. DIRECTORDeen, baby, your in the next shot! I’m going to let your brother take a break while I get you in some action shots. Shelly...Shelly, An attractive woman wearing a red dress and high heels jumps to attention and acts excited to be noticed by the Director. There is a loud annoying RING. The director reaches into his pocket pulls out his phone and glances at it.DIRECTORI’m going to watch that slam dunk footage on my Phone. I have to take this call. Everybody take fifteen. God I love being the man in charge.The director gets up from his chair that reads “Man in Charge” throws open a door and heads into the rest room with Shelly on his arm. Ryan watches him walk away then looks back at the Assistant director who is still starring at the video monitor. RYAN(to the camera)I was on the cover of the Berken-Stock magazine for six years straight. When they took my foot off of the front page it was only for my brother. Ryan looks over at his brother who is eating a sandwich really fast.
RYANHe was blessed with beautiful feet too. Ryan looks over at Deen’s shoes then up at his calves that sparkle in the light when slightly moved. RYANHis name is Deen and we have been in the foot model business our whole lives. Marv, Ryan’s agent, a fat balding man wearing a cheesy sweat suit walks in and gestures for Ryan to walk over in his direction. He speaks with an Italian accent.MARVRyan! What’s the news? How’s the shoot? Ryan looks at Marv as he starts to fill up a plate at the craft service table.MarvHey, come here twinkle toes. You look like you’ve lost weight. You look great. Marv puts his arm around Ryan’s shoulder and leads him away from the set and commercial crew. MARVYou are going to love me. Look... Marv struggles down a large gulp from his flask. MARVUhm, little something to warm me up.RYANHow’s the ulcer? Marv farts and as his butt squeaks he looks to see if anyone noticed.MARVOh, the doctor gave me some pills for dat. Xanx for stress. Some Valumes for my back, Narcos for my neck and shit...Marv stares at the label on a bottleMarv Something for my blood pressure. Marv shakes the bottle rattling the pills then opens it up and guzzles some straight from the bottle.RYAN (V.O.)That’s my manager Marv. He raised my brother and I since we were six. Our parents were killed in a car wreck so, he’s been our foot agent pretty much our entire life. I guess you could say he’s used to dealing with beautiful feet.INT. -- WOODY P’S -- NIGHT The story of Marv.Lights flash and fog rolls in from the stage were a younger thinner Marv takes off his pants and prances to a pop song. Several gay men walk up to the stage and place dollar bills in his G-string as he gratefully rubs his crotch in their face. MARVEasy boys look but no touch.One older man wearing a nice suit walks up to the stage and motions for the dancer to lean down. RICKYour fucking hot. The long haired Marv leans down getting close to the Rick’s face.MARVThanks baby.Rick pulls out a wad of one hundred dollar bills and slips one in Marv’s G-string.RICKI want you.MARVLike what you see stud muffin?RICK How much for a private dance?Marv leads Rick to a private area in the balcony of a gay strip club. Rick sits in a chair and Marv begins to give him a lap dance. Rick looks down at Marv’s cowboy boots. RICKWhy don’t you take your boots off cowboy?MARVI don’t take them off.Rick pulls out his cash.RICK I bet I could persuade you.Rick pulls out two hundred dollars.RICKOne hundred for each boot. I want to suck your toes.Marv hesitates then proceeds to pull off his boot with caution. After pulling off the boot Rick’s face looks shocked then quickly turns to disgusted. RICKGod that smell.Rick turns his head to the side and vomits. RICKPut your boot back on your making me sick. How can you let your feet go like that? Your like some kind of a freak.Rick gags as Marv slides his boot back on embarrassed.RICKWhat the hell is wrong with you?MARVScrew you man! I’m not gay I just dance here for the cash. Marv walks away leaving Rick throwing up in the chair. As he leaves a tear rolls down his face.INT. -- BASKET BALL SHOE SHOOT -- DAYMarv lights up a cigarette and puts his hand on Ryan’s shoulder.MARVWe have a new gig. K-Mart wants to have your foot on the front of their new flip flop summer fun campaign. RYAN(frustrated)Fuck K-Mart! I don’t want to model their cheap ass shit. Only poor people shop there Marv. MARVHey we are talking about bread here. Who cares as long as you get paid. You can’t think every job is beneath you.Ryan pulls back from Marv.RYANI don’t know. I don’t want my foot to look low class. I’ll get stuck doing low end modeling and never be able to get the high end gigs.MARVYou are kidding me right? I know you are sick of doing these Pay-Less shoe commercials. I’m giving you a chance to make the big bucks and hell, even get your calves shown. Ryan looks at Marv with an open mouth.RYAN(surprised)They want to go that high?Ryan looks at his calves and flexes them.MARVOh yeah. They want your lower half. Picture it to be the first thing you people see as you walk through the doors. Your beautiful lower half.Marv puts his hand on Rayn’s shoulder. Ryan looks up and envisions the huge sign as he walks into the K-Mart. MARVYou can’t deny that you want to show that skin. Sandals and flip flops are the future of foot wear. Trust me I been in the biz long enough to know.Rayn looks at Marv with uncertainty. MARVHey, it is how you got noticed. Not to mention your brother is making a killing showing those god given toes while you are stuck in those. Ryan looks at the bubble wrap shoes he is wearing.RAYNHow’s Deen?Marv takes out a cigarette and offers Ryan one.MARVYour brother is doing great. In fact he is doing better than you. You two should hang out more it might just smooth up your rocky past. You heard he’s the new Ben Stiller movie coming out? Some kind of world war 2 flick. Ryan looks at Marv astonished then the two gaze at Deen who is standing at the craft service table eating. MARV(whispering)His foot is right there in the first scene. Hell I even heard...Marv takes Ryan’s shoulder then leans into his ear.RYANWhat?The two look at Deen who is getting filmed as he walks in the bubble wrap shoes.MARV(whispering)He is going to be in the movie trailer. He has his own close up.Ryan moves closer to Marv aggressively.RYANWhat kind of close up?MARVA shot were he is flexing the arch of his foot. It’s a standard lower half shot but, It’s for three seconds.RYANShit! Fuck!Ryan breaks away from his agent in anger and jealously.MARVFrom behind it looks just like your foot. Come on don’t let it get you down. Use it as motivation.MARVListen I booked you a gig with him tonight.RAYNWhat!? I’m bitting my lip here. It’s taking everything I got just to be in the same fucking room as him.Marv takes a drag of his cigarette and holds he smoke in his lungs. MARV(suggestive)Listen, if you don’t take a chance on expanding your career then hell, you may just end up being a has been foot model. Like those ones from the twenties that got caught up in heroin and poetry. Marv throws down his cigarette steps then steps on it and exhales as he inches toward Ryan with open arms.MARVHey, it’s me, starving Marvy the super agent. Marv smiles and a gold capped tooth shines under a thick mustache.MARVI’m trying to get you better deals. You just have to be willing to leave hostel you call home. Get a dog and take it for a walk. You might meet some people. Marv and Ryan look at Deen who is showing his foot off to the assistant director. Marv pulls a prescription bottle from his pocket and hands it to Ryan.RYANWhat’s this?MARVThey’re bars. They help me with anxiety. Just think of them as pez for your mood. RYANFor once I’d like to be at a shoot and him not be there.Ryan grits his teeth and looks at Deen briefly before turning around.RYANLook at that smug bastard. Who does he think he is.MARV(encouragingly)Your brother isn't afraid of mixing and mingling with the raising stars. That’s why he’s going to be in a major movie. Ryan takes out a pill bottle and downs some prescribed relief chewing the pills as he swallows them.MARVI’ve watched you and your brother dominate the foot model world. Then I watched him take the reins and forge his own path to foot fame.Marv looks down at Ryan’s foot then up at his face.MARV(sulking)Hell, sometimes when I look at your foot it makes me angry. I don’t think you realize how beautiful your foot is. Marv lights another cigarette.MARVSometimes I can barley look at my.. long black nails and that stupid ugly mole right on the top of my foot that just looks like a smudge of shit!The emotion on Marv’s face is evident.MarvIt’s not my fault that a fungus runs in the family. It’s just bad genes.Marv flicks the cigarette and with the same hand points at Ryan’s foot.MARVNow that’s beauty. You’ve got a god given talent and its your destiny to show those beautiful bare barkers of yours.Marv looks up at Ryan then tilts his head back and snorts loudly causing people from the craft service table to look over disgusted.RYAN(jealously)Then why is my brother getting all the attention? I’m older more talented and damn it my foot is bigger. Plus it has more tint and definition. Ryan holds his head in his hands. RYANHe thinks he’s so much better than me. Who the hell does he think he is?MARVYou should be the one getting the cameos and... hell, even the speaking roles.Ryan looks at Marv as if he cannot believe the words he just heard. RYANAre you saying my brother has a speaking role?Marv touches his moustache.MARVThere are... some rumors floating around... he might have a line in the next Tom Cruise movie. Ryan becomes red with jealousy. He stomps his foot causing some air bubbles on his shoe to bust.MarvYou should talk to him. See and if he can plug you in and get some Hollywood connections.Ryan looks at Marv frustrated.RYAN(angered)That’s your job. You know I haven't spoken to my brother in years.MARVI’m sure he has forgiven you besides you can’t be mad at him forever. Move on. Make the first move and talk to him.Ryan pulls his hair and acts extremely upset.RYAN(tight lipped)Marv You are my agent. Really your like a father. Since our parents died in that freak car wreck when we were six. Marv looks away.RYANWell, you’ve been more like a father slash boss. You know he took that Times Square deal right out from under my feet. I was stabbed in the back. That hurt. He just acts like nothings wrong. Deen entertains a group of people at the craft service table by juggling a hackie sack.RYANSmug son of a bitch.MARVYou two are the top foot models in the world so you can expect to have to work with him again. RAYNI only showed up to this commercial because I’m broke. MARVYeah, and you’ll show up for the next one. You don’t get paid I don’t get paid.Ryan looks at his brother Deen who is now entertaining the director with his hackie sack tricks.RyanSometimes I wonder what it would have been like if you never discovered our feet.The director walks back to the set with his arm around Deen. MARVDon’t say that. You and your brother were born for this.EXT. -- BEACH -- DAYA family runs hand in hand along side an ocean’s rolling waves. The mother then the father let their hands go and hop easily over a jelly fish in his path. They then turn back and look at their two sons following unaware of the looming danger. The father stops and points down at the fish. FATHER(slowly)Watch out!Ryan hops right over it with ease. His foot hovers slightly over the jelly fish as he pauses in mid air with the sun reflecting some gold jewelry hanging off his toes and ankles. FATHERHis foot... It’s so perfect.Ryan clears the jelly fish and his father stands mesmerized staring down at Rayn’s gorgeous foot. The mother and father are caught in amazement staring down at Ryan’s foot as Deen steps right on the jelly fish.DEENOOOOOWWWWW!!!!! My foot!Deen stares down at his foot which is a completely submerged in the jelly fish. He pulls his foot out of the fish and it swells to twice it’s size in a matter of seconds. The father turns to his wife.FATHERAre you thinking what I’m thinking?MOTHERIs that my ankle bracelet and toe ring. The two parents are still looking at Ryan’s feet.FATHERHis foot is beautiful. It should be seen by everyone in the world. Everyone.The father shakes his head in disbelief as he looks at the foot pulling his sun glasses down. Deen drags his foot which, is now four times it’s normal size, through the sand to examine Ryan’s foot. DEENWow! Ryan you do have a beautiful foot.The father slaps Deen on the back of the head.FATHER(furious)He has beautiful feet. That’s both of them Deen. Look at both of his feet.The two brother’s father looks at there mother.FATHERWe got to get him off this sand it could be dangerous.Ryan’s father picks him up in his arms as the family walks off the beach. Deen tries to follow but falls over with three jelly fish on his back. FATHERI think that I know of an agent that could get Ryan here a foot modeling contract. I mean If he can keep his foot looking exactly the way it does right now. Ryan’s father looks back at Deen on the laying on the beach.FATHERHoney tell Deen to stop playing in the sand we have to leave and I don’t want him getting sand in the car. Ryan’s father looks at his wife.FATHERI don’t want anything to touch your foot until Marv looks at it. Honey, come over here and put two zip lock bags around both of his feet. I want them to look exactly the same then as now. Ryan’s father walks off the beach carrying his son with zip lock bags on his feet. Deen rolls in the sand with jelly fish all over him. Somehow he manages to stand peeling the fish off him. INT. -- MARV’S OFFICE -- DAYIn a waiting room several groups of parents with their small children are lined up in chairs against a wall, their bare feet sticking out in front of them. Ryan’s father turns to his son.FATHERThese kids don’t have shit on your feet. A pair of flashy cowboy boots with spurs walk out of a room as the door swings open Marv stands in a tight sparkling gold shirt staring through children like a gun fighter at high noon about to smoke his enemy. FATHERThat’s him. This guy is the best foot model agent in the business.Marv’s spurs attached to his boots spin and a harmonica whales a western note. Ryan’s eyes widen and his father puts an arm around him smiles confidently. Marv walks past the children looking at each of their feet while holding a magnifying glass.MARVFlat feet. Too skinny. Too light. Fat. That’s odd.Marv looks at a small child then leans down to get eye level with him.MARVNext time your mommy and daddy bring you here. Marv leans in closer to the child.MARV(raising his voice)Tell them to clip your fucking toe nails.The small child begins to cry. Marv moves on down the line and suddenly pulls back from a kids foot with a disgusted look on his face. He then moves on to the next one.MARVYou should have a doctor take a look at that.MARVThat’s just plain ugly and.. those are...Marv pauses and uses the magnifying glass to look closer at Ryan’s feet.MARV Perfect.He lowers his head and leans down with a magnifying glass. MARVThis boy has the most beautiful feet I have ever seen. Marv looks Ryan in the eyes then places his hand on Ryan’s shoulder. MARVI’m going to make you a star boy. Your foot will be in every Christmas catalogue... wearing these.Marv holds up a pair of Styrofoam and leather sandals in front of Ryan’s face. MARVThey are called Straps and every Nickelodeon kid star is wearing them. If we put this foot in these sandals. Marv looks at Ryan’s father.MARVThe sky is the limit.Deen walks in the room wearing the strap sandals.DEENWow, these feel good.A scowl runs across Ryan’s face as Marv shoots over to Deen’s foot. MONTAGE: Deen and Ryan’s foot are photographed with several times and put on the cover of many different magazines such as: Kitty slippers, Teen Toes, Fine Feet Are Us, Slippery Sandals, Party Feet, Foot fetishes, Man of Arch, Farmers Almanac, High Times and MAD. RAYN (V.O.)And so it was. The right foot featured always mine and the left always Deen’s.The two trade off on photographs as there feet grow and the magazine titles change They go from living in a slum to a house then an uptown apartment. RYAN (V.O.)It seemed to work. I didn't mind sharing the fame with my brother.On the cover of Rolling Stones magazine Alice Cooper’s feet are replaced on photo shop with Ryan right and Danny’s left foot. They look at the photo of their feet together an high five.Ryan and Deen walk up to Marv and the three pour out champaign then toast.INT. -- PRADA SANDAL SHOOT -- NIGHTRyan sits in a chair with a solum expression surrounded by a studio with cameras. A photographer named Ralf is snapping pictures of his lower half while an eighties song plays in the background.RALFOk, That’s it baby bring that beautiful foot to the left a little. Oh right there.The doors open and Deen walks in with a mink coat and gaudy jewelry. He takes off the coat and shivers. as he takes his coat off he blows a large bubble then pulls it out of his mouth and sucks the air out of it. DEENLost it’s flavor.After it deflates he throws the bubble made from his gum in the trash. Deen then looks at his phone and pulls out another piece of gum and chews it. Ralf runs up to greet Deen.RALF Great you made it.DEENHold up.RYAN(under his breath)Ok, everybody waits for you. Deen makes a moaning sound. DEENJust a minute I got to moisturize.Deen squirts some lotion on his feet and begins to slowly rub it in.DEENThe epidermis is the most neglected part of the human body.Ralf pokes out his chest which is covered with a tight black shirt. A beret is propped on the side of his head and a gitty expression takes over his face. RALFI am in the presence of the four most beautiful feet in the world. I feel so inspired. What do we need?... Hum... I got it.Ralf tilts his head and twists his blonde soul patch and reaches in his fanny pack. RALFI want you and your brother to stand putting your toes together. Ralf looks around with his pointer finger on his lip in deep thought.RALFWhere is your brother?Deen’s phone rings and he pinches it between his head and his ear. DEENYeah, it’s Deen. Your on the mic what’s your rap? You know who it be. Deen looks at Ryan and puts up his finger for him to wait.DEENThat’s right Mr. Beautiful feet. Right. Deen laughs hysterically as Ryan rolls his eyes.DEENBen what is up brother? I forgot to save your number. Right I thought you really were him. I’m at a shoot right now.Deen holds up his index finger and motions for Ryan and Ralf to wait a minute. DEENSure we can talk Friday. Alright I’ll be there with a thirty pack alright later. Deen hangs up the phone and shakes his head smiling.DEENThat was Ben Stiller. He wants to talk about my feet being in his next film.Deen slips on shower caps over his feet then walks up to Ryan and slaps his arm.DEENHow you been brother? Ryan avoids eye contact.RYANHum.DEENYou know I’m having a party this weekend. You should come by.Ryan pulls out his phone and looks at it in an attempt to ignore his brother.RYANMarv should be here by now. DEENHow is Marv?Deen rolls his eyes and acts a bit perturbed.RYANYeah like you care.DEENI had to move on and branch out. Once you see past his charade the guys really a loser. I wouldn't hurt you to think about replacing him.Ryan furls his brow and angrily looks at his brother.RYANYou know what I don’t get about you? Marv raised practically us and you fucked him over when you got another agent... just like you fucked me over when you went behind my back and stole that add from me.DEENWhoa! First off that was my gig.Ralf continues taking photos.RYANBullshit! I was offered it first and you stole it from me.The two brothers act reluctant to be face to face with each other as Ralf circles their calves snapping pictures. A cell phone rings and both Ryan and Deen reach down into their pockets. Deen then pulls his phone and plugs an ear as he steps away from Ryan. Ralf continues photographing Deen’s foot while he is walking away. DEENWhat up? Yeah I don’t know if I want to make it one of those nights. What’s that? Strippers.Deen walks back over to were Ryan is standing.RALF Ok I need you guys to stand on your tippy toes.Ryan stands on his tippee toes and looks taller than Deen. Deen looks at Ryan as he struggles to stay on his toes.RALFYeah baby. Flex those sexy calves. Work it.Deen grows taller hovering over Ryan with ease as he continues his phone conversation.DEENSure, I guess we can go out tonight.Ryan’s phone rings and he immediately answers it.RYANWhere are you? I want to get out of here. The photo shoot is draining me. Deen is acting his usual arrogant self.Deen hangs up his phone and BURPS loudly then twists his foot for Ralf, who is literally getting off on taking these pictures. RALFMan you brothers have got to add some baby oil to these amazing feet.Deen looks at Ryan after hanging up his phone.DEENI need new shoes. I’m thinking about going to get some tomorrow. I would let you go with but,... I am probably going to be meeting up with Ben Stiller and he doesn't like meeting people he doesn't already know. When your a star you just don’t know who is pretending to be your friend. RYANSure, three is a crowd.Ryan’s phone rings in the same tone as Deen’s. Deen reaches for his phone as Ryan quickly slips on a shower cap over each one of his feet. Ryan walks further away from the set and plugs one of his ears as he pulls out his phone. RYAN Listen man I can’t stay here much longer Deen is hogging the shots and the photographer is just getting on my nerves. Ryan looks back at his brother and Ralf is rubbing baby oil on Deen’s calve muscle.MARV (V.O.)Listen you can’t leave now. RAYNYou don’t understand I got to go.MARV (V.O.)A chick I want you to meet is on her way. She’s a sexy model from the west coast that loves to make guys cum. I think you are going to want to stay. RAYNYou think I am enjoying myself?Ryan watches a gorgeous woman walk in to the shoot.RAYN I think I will stay.A tall athletic model walks in and causes Ryan to block out his entire surroundings while watching her enter. RALF(excited)Melissa! You made it.Ralf kisses Melissa on each cheek then takes off her coat. Ryan looks like a statue still standing in the same manner with a phone pressed against his ear and a mouth hanging open. He is completely mesmerized.MARV (V.O.)Ryan are you there? I said you might want to stay.Ryan hangs up his phone and takes the shower caps from his feet and quickly slides a diamond ring on his pinky toe. He takes a deep breath and proceeds to walk toward Melissa with a mustered up confidence. RYAN(under his breath)Hi, my name is Ryan and you are so hot. No you are so super hot.Ralf is dotting Melissa’s face with make up. He turns her chin in the direction of Ryan’s foot which catches her attention as it glows under a light. MELISSA(amazed)Your foot is amazingly perfect.RYAN(smiling)So I’ve been told. Your name is?Melissa extends her hand but, she continues looking at his foot. Suddenly Deen’s foot steps in to the light beside Ryan’s.DEENMy name is Deen. Deen shakes Melissa’s extended hand. She continues to look at the floor then briefly looks up at the two brothers who are standing in front of her. Then back at their feet. As she looks up her face seems unimpressed by the brother’s upper halves.MELISSAWow, you guys must be related.Ryan curls his upper lip and gives Deen a look of jealousy then slips his foot further to the light. RALFMelissa, this is Ryan and Deen. Ralf picks up his camera and vigorously starts snapping shots of Ryan and Deen’s feet. Ryan takes the diamond toe ring off and places it in a slick black velvet bag. RALFDo you want to join the shot Melissa I wanted to get your face in this sweet pea.Melissa walks toward the brothers very seductively. Deen stares at Melissa’s breast as she walks toward him. Ralf puts his hand on her shoulder and guides her to a metallic stool between Ryan and Deen. RALFSit down baby cakes.RALFDeen I need your left foot on her right leg. This is going to by a ménage a trois of feet. Ralf twists his soul patch.RALFOk, Ryan now you do the same on her other side. Ryan winks at Melissa and Props his foot on her leg.MELISSAWow your foot smells delicious.Ryan smiles.RYANPumpkin spice. It’s a holiday scent.Ralf makes a quite sign with his finger on Melissa’s lips.RALF(with a lisp)Foot magazines are pay thousands to have this on the cover.Deen winks at Melissa as he wiggles his toes. Ralf looks at the pose the three are in then twists his soul patch and tilts his head in deep thought.RALFBaby cakes, I am going to need you to take off your top. I need a shot of your nipples right behind their big toes. Ralf gasps with his hand over his moth as he frames the shot with his hands.RALFThis is the money shot. Deen and Ryan can’t stop staring at Melissa’s breast. MELISSAYou know... I’m not really comfortable with doing a topless shot.RALFDon’t be a diva. Your fucking model. It’s your job to show your body.MELISSAI’m sorry I just can’t do this.Deen looks at Ryan as Melissa walks away from the shoot.RALFAre you kidding me? Oh my God what a diva.RAYNI think I’m in love.DEENShe is so hot.RYANAnd modest.A sour expression sweeps across Ryan’s face as he looks at Deen realizing that he might have some competition. RYANI see what you are trying to do. Don’t even think about it. She is mine.Rayn looks at Deen furiously and a competition rages in his eyes.DEENDon’t tell me I’m going to have to kick your ass just to rightfully claim what is mine.RALFYou boys haven't learned yet? All models are superficial glamor whores.The two brothers completely ignore Ralf and his remarks.RYANKick my ass? Ha! Now that’s some funny shit. Rayn laughs and puts his hand on his head then messages his temple. Ralf continues snapping pictures of the two brothers feet.RALFAngry feet. I love it.Ryan gets in his brothers face and spits as he talks.RAYNWow! You sound like you actually have a shot with her.DEENAs good as any. It wasn't her shyness of the camera that caused her to leave. It was your breath. Deen holds his nose and walks away from his brother.DEENHey, shit breath I’m getting her number first.RYANYeah good luck. Rejection is a bitch.Deen laughs and slips on his futuristic bubble wrap shoes which immediately vacuum seal to his feet. EXT. -- STEPS OF MODELING BUILDING -- NIGHTDeen runs out of the building’s lobby. Melissa is walking away and he jogs to catch up with the model. DEENHey!Melissa turns around as Deen runs up to her. Ryan watches the two from the seventh floor window of the building Melissa was just in.DEENI want to apologize for Ralf. He is just one of those goofy guys who think a woman’s body is a work of art. I can assure you he meant no harm. Melissa looks at Deen and smiles.MELISSAI’m sorry that was real unprofessional of me to run out like that. I just feel uncomfortable about taking my clothes off.DEENHey, whoa. You don’t have to apologize. I completely understand. If he ever asked me to take my shirt off I would fell the same way. I just know he will never ask me to do that because my breast don’t need to be seen. Plus I have this third nipple that has been growing since birth and well it is really pretty deformed.Melissa laughs then brushes her hair back out of her face.DEENWow. You are hot and I bet you get told that all the time. MELISSAMostly by people taking my picture.DEENI can kind of relate. All I ever hear is how beautiful my feet are. MELISSAYou do have beautiful feet.DEENWell thank you. Melissa warms her arms in an attempt to warm them.DEENListen I am about to get a bite to eat and I was wondering if you would like to go with me.Melissa does not answer Deen immediately.DEENLet me buy you dinner. I know this place that is really close. It is the least I can do after what happened up there. Melissa looks up and notices Ryan staring down at her. He quickly walks away from the window.MELISSAYeah, sure I guess I can go for a bite to eat.Ryan reappears in the window and watches Melissa and Deen walk down the street together. INT. -- PRADA SANDAL SHOOT -- NIGHTRalf walks up to the window and looks at Ryan who stands mesmerized by his brother’s success with Melissa. Ryan takes out his pill bottle and swallows a few.RALFLooks like your brother likes the shy bitch. Walk out on my shoot. Huh. Who does that whore think she is. RYANYou are a real asshole you know that Ralf. RALFI can afford to be. That is why I work with models.Ryan walks out of the photo shoot.RALFHey where are you going? At least I’m not straight.INT. -- ITALIAN RESTAURANT -- NIGHTThe restaurant is dimly lit and Melissa sits in a booth in front of Deen. He is cowing down bread dipping and swabbing it in marinara sauce. DEEN(mouth full)So are you from New York or did you just move here. MELISSAI am originally from Texas. I moved up here when I was sixteen to start my modeling career. Pretty been since then.DEEN(mouth still stuffed full of food)Everything’s bigger in Texas. MELISSAI beg your pardon?Deen takes a drink washing he food down.DEENEverything is Bigger in Texas. You never heard that expression?MELISSA(unimpressed)Oh, right yeah. DEENSo did your parents make you model?MELISSANo I wanted to.DEENMy parents were killed when I was just a little kid. They were hit by a drunk driver.MELISSA(sympathetic)I’m so sorry.DEENIt’s ok. I don’t really remember a whole lot about them.Deen leans back in his chair and rubs his stomach. DEENGod,... that was good. Are you going to eat your soup.Melissa seems to be more interested in a Marinara stain on Deen’s shirt than her food.MELISSAYes. I’m just a slow eater. My parents always told me I ate like a bird. DEENThat’s pretty fucked up that your parents would make fun of you like that.Melissa looks at Deen confused when suddenly his brother Ryan shows up wearing his fur coat which he takes off and hands to the waiter. RYANHey, funny running into you guys here. DEENWhat do you mean I eat here every day and this is the first time I’ve ever seen you pop in. Ryan extends his hand to Melissa. RYANI am sorry I did not get a chance to properly introduce myself at the shoot earlier. The name is Ryan. Ryan leans in over Deen to Kiss Melissa’s hand. Deen coughs awkwardly loud.DEENMelissa and I were just in the middle of a meal here.MELISSAWell actually I was done.RYANGreat, I am starving I will join you. Ryan looks at Melissa seductively then pulls up a chair and sits at the end of the booth.RYANYou don’t mind do you?MELISSANot all.Deen looks at Ryan agitated.DEENWell kind of.Ryan motions to a waiter. RYANA bottle of wine for the table.WAITERWhat kind sir. RYANSomething cheap but, good.Deen and the waiter look at Ryan like he’s an idiot.RYANSo I’m talking to Ralf, you know the guy taking our pictures, and it struck me. For the first time I realized what a dick that guy is.DEENHe is what he eats.Deen laughs hysterically at his joke for several seconds as Melissa stares at his Marinara stain.DEENOhhh... Sometimes I just kill myself.RYANSometimes I wish you did.Ryan laughs to himself hysterically. Deen and Melissa sit looking right past Ryan’s shoulder. Ryan looks behind his shoulder and notices the waiter is still standing there with his coat and a blank expression.WAITERWhat type of wine would you like sir?The waiter looks at Ryan with a fed up expression.RYANYou pick it out. If I like it then I’ll tip you well. Ryan looks back at Deen and Melissa. Deen shakes his head in disbelief that Ryan has interrupted his dinner.RYANSo where were we?Ryan looks over at Melissa.RAYNI’m sure my brother Deen has already told you all about me.MELISSAYou two are brothers?RYANOf course. Why do you think we both are foot models? It’s not hard work, its genetics. For example take yourself Melissa. Now if you were to be burned or disfigured you probably wouldn't know what to do with yourself. Deen looks at Ryan with disbelief.RYANYou take care of your face for that very reason. I go to great lengths to make sure my foot gets pedicures at least twice a week plus I wear a foot condom twenty four seven and only take it off for shoots. The waiter steps up to the table and presents the bottle of wine to Ryan.WAITEROur finest cab sir. RYANI didn't ask you to call a cab. The waiter looks confused.RYANOhh, I thought you meant a cab. I was about to say I’m not leaving.The waiter presents the wine.RYANGreat! Lets get a cheese board started. WAITERExcellent. Shall I prepare Asiago, Manchega, goat cheese, and white chedder. RYANYeah and some crackers.Ryan gives Melissa a cheesy grin.DEENSo Melissa, have you ever dated a body part model? Melissa smiles.MELISSAI have dated models but, never a foot model if that is what your asking. I do have friends that do body part modelling. RYANAshton, a model, once told me he would trade his face for my foot. I told him it wasn't a fair trade for me because I love my feet more than my face. Ryan pours out the wine then raises his glass for a toast.RAYNTo your face and my feet. Melissa and Ryan toast but, Deen just sits looking pissed at his brother.RYANMy feet are my lively hood. Hell, my brother will tell you his feet are almost as perfect as mine.Ryan forces out a longer than normal. The awkward laugh leaves Melissa mildly amused. Deen is not paying one bit of attention to what Ryan has to say. In fact he is looking around the restaurant in an attempt to ignore him.RAYNSo Melissa where are you from?MELISSAWell, I was born in Texas and lived there till I was about sixteen. Then I came here to New York City. RYANWhat brought you to the big apple.MELISSAK-mart. They were doing a teen back to school model search. My mom sent a picture of me to some agent and we moved here. I guess you could say that my mom put me up to it and I’m glad she did. There are a lot of perks to being a model.The cheese board arrives.RYAN Funny you mention K-Mart. Ryan touches the waiter on the arm. RYAN(aggravated)The wine you picked out was a bit sour. I would like another bottle please. This time make it a bottle of Don.Ryan looks at Melissa then Deen with superiority.RYAN(arrogantly)Nothing but, the mother fucking best.Ryan takes out a piece of gum he was chewing and quickly replaces it with another.DEENThe cheese looks really good. Thanks for picking up the tab for all of this.MELISSA(gratefulYes thank you Ryan. Are you always so generous to people you just meet. Ryan reaches in his pants then hands Melissa a card from his pocket.RYANHere is my card, call me if you ever need anything.Ryan takes his gum out and sticks it on the side of the cheese board. He then sucks a breath in very loudly. RYANDamn that’s juicy. Ryan sucks in a couple more quick breathes.RyanLike sugar on Christmas morning. Go ahead drink that wine up guys lets get sloppy. DEENWow Ryan It’s been a while since I’ve seen this side of you.RYANThat’s right brother I’m wild as the taliban.Ryan begins pouring more wine in to Melissa’s glass. MELISSAThat’s plenty.Ryan continues pouring.DEENRyan she said that was enough.RYAN Don’t worry Deen You will get some there is another bottle coming. Spilling the wine he begins filling up Deen’s glass.DEENRyan, I really don’t feel like drinking. Really just stop man.Ryan sets the wine glass down. RYANDeen, Marv is right about you. You got tiny balls. How you make it in this industry I’ll never know.DEEN(offended)Hey! When times were down and gigs got low for me I did some foot fetish work. Ryan pulls his head back in an attempt to look shocked.DEENI’m not proud of it but, I had to eat. It made me the man I am today.Melissa looks at Deen awkwardly.RYANThat’s a little bit too much information bro. I don’t know if I could handle someone jacking off to my feet.Ryan looks at Melissa giggling. DEENI know what this is all about. You have come here to show off because deep down you know for once in my life I am more important than you and it’s eating you up inside. Ryan cocks his head back and chugs the wine.DEENAnother thing, I could give a fuck about what you think of me. The waiter presents the Bottle of expensive Champaign to Ryan who nods his head. RYAN(spitefully)Oh, I see your foot is in one Ben Stiller movie and your head swells up like balloon. MELISSAMaybe I should leave.Melissa grabs her purse and Ryan places his hand on her arm.RYANNo you should stay. Tonight my brother and I are celebrating. Did you hear his foot has a part in the new Ben Stiller movie. Ryan motions for the waiter as he walks by.RYANWaiter bring another bottle of champaign.WAITERSir I just brought you one are you sure. Ryan points at the waiter.RYAN(pissed)If you want to get tipped then bring another. WAITERYes sir.Deen turns and looks at Melissa.DEENWould you like me to walk you to your car?Melissa nods and the two stand up. Melissa extends her hand to Ryan. MELISSAIt was very nice meeting you Ryan. RYANOh come on, do you really have to go?MELISSAI promised my boyfriend I would be at his place by ten.RYAN(surprised)You have a boyfriend? What is his name. Deen attempts to leave.DEENCome on Melissa Ryan has another bottle to finish. MELISSAHis name is Patrick Wriggley. RYANNice first name. Well, shit it was awesome meeting you. We should do this again. Glass of wine for the road. Ryan holds up a glass for MelissaRYANCome on down it. Ryan hands Melissa the glass and she chugs the wine then gives the glass back to him.RYANWhoa. That a girl.Melissa smiles back at Ryan and he raises his eyebrows at her.DEENAlright Ryan. I will be seeing you later. RYANCool dude. Well we have to finish the shoot. Ralf will be pissed if he doesn't get his martini shot. Alright, I’ll hit you later.Deen and Melissa are walking out of the restaurant. Ryan looks around the restaurant.RYANI’m just going to finish all this wine and I’ll see you guys later.The waiter walks up behind Ryan as he holds up the wine glass to Melissa who is now walking out the door. WAITERIs everything ok sir?RYANOh, yeah. More cheese please. Just bring a whole board of goat cheese.WAITEROk, sure thing sir.The waiter walks away and Ryan sets the wine glass down then glances once around the restaurant as he walks to the door. Ryan walks through the door and inconspicuously runs out leaving the empty table full of wine and cheese. The waiter returns to the table with another bottle of wine and board of cheese. He looks around the restaurant then back at the table with his teeth gritted and his fore head wrinkled.WAITERWhere did he go?People in the restaurant turn to look at the upset waiter as he runs to the door and looks out.WAITERWhat a dick!EXT. -- MELISSA’S CAR -- NIGHTDeen walks Melissa walk to her car then stops right before reaching the trunk. DEENMelissa, I want to apologize for Ryan. He has been an ass hole to me since I got some ad on Times square. It’s like the jealously has consumed him to the point he never returned my phone calls. I had to contact his agent just to get him this gig just to try and speak with him. Hopefully we can do this again with a different photographer.Melissa smiles and hugs Deen.MELISSAYou are so sweet. Listen, my boyfriend is hosting a party at his loft on fifty second. Its close to here would you like to come?Deen looks at Melissa Baffled by the offer. DEEN(surprised)Are you serious? Wow! yeah, I would love to come. MELISSAPeople are coming over at around ten so I will call you at about nine with directions.DEENCool I’m looking forward to it.Deen awkwardly hugs Melissa and she kisses him slightly on the cheek. Ryan Peers at the two from around a street corner.RYAN(to himself)Well, I guess we got a little competition. That buffalo headed no talent prick. A smug look takes over Ryan’s face and he walks silently away disgusted by what he has seen.INT. -- RYAN’S APARTMENT -- NIGHTThe apartment is very modern with pictures and sculptures of Ryan’s foot covering the walls a large sculpture is in the center of the room. Ryan takes off his mink coat then his bubble wrap shoes. He walks to a leather chair grabs a remote control then falls into the chair as if exhausted and fatigued. Ryan’s cell phone rings. He answers it.RYANYour on what’s the deal.MARV (V.O.)Hey it’s me.RAYNWhere you aware that my brother was going to be at the shoot tonight. I mean don’t get me wrong the Melissa chick was hot. I want to wear her ass as a face mask and smell that sweet divide.Marv coughs and gags on the other line as if he about to through up. The screen splits and Marv is visible on the right half. He is in his apartment and it is a complete mess of clothes food boxes and beer bottles.RYANYou ok?MARVYeah, your brother wasn't supposed to be there. I think his agent spoke to Ralf last minute. Did you take a bar?RYANYeah I took two. Are they supposed to make me feel tired.MARVYeah a little bit. That’s why you drink something with caffeine it to keep you up.RYANWell I was definitely more at ease during the shoot tonight. Melissa left the shoot early because Ralf wanted her to show her tits.MARVYeah there nice.RYANWell, she’s just not that type of model.MARVShe was in play two years ago and pent house, hustler and I think slut fest.RYANWow. Are you sure?MARVI’d have to check again but I think so.Marv opens up a pent house magazine and flips through it as Ryan pulls a bucket of fried chicken and a beer from his fridge.RYANThe only thing is she has a boyfriend. Why ids it all the good ones are taken. Marv I want you to try and schedule another shoot with us together. MARV (V.O.)I will talk to her agent. She owes me a few favors.Ryan squirts a large glob of lotion in his hand and begins to rub his foot.RYAN In the mean time I want you to get some info on Patrick Wriggly. Dig up whatever you can on him. Ryan hangs up the phone and opens the pill bottle Marv handed him and looks at a pill in his hand then throws down his throat. He leans his head back and props up his foot on a chair. RYANTime to file the pimp nails.He opens a drawer and pulls out a toe nail grooming kit and a magnifying glass. Ryan begins to delicately shave down his toe nail. As he stares through the glass two of his toes begin to morph into faces.RYANHuh?...One toe takes on the resemblance of his face and the other Melissa’s. His toes begin to kiss each other as they grow arms and embrace. EXT. -- BEACH -- SUNSETRyan walks down the beach holding Melissa’s hand as the sunsets. The two walk on to a dance floor lit by tiki torches. They dance with a gentle grace as Ryan holds Melissa’s bottom in his hands. RYANYou are so beautiful.MELISSAYou are too. RYANI love you.MELISSAI want to suck your big toe.A bed suddenly appears on the dance floor and the two crawl into it. Melissa begins to cry as she willingly lets Ryan force his foot in her mouth. Ryan pulls his foot out of her mouth then leans down and starts kissing her. As he begins to make love to Melissa a RINGING sound echoes catching both their attention.INT. -- RYAN’S APARTMENT -- NIGHTRyan awakes in his chair as his phone RINGS on the table beside him. He picks up the phone and holds it against his ear as he wipes off his face and shakes his head trying to regain consciousness. The screen splits as Ryan answers the phone. RYAN(drowsy)Hello.MARVHey it’s Marv.Marv lights up a smoke on the other line. He is on the toilet feeding a turtle in a dirty bowl by his rest room sink.RYANYeah what’s up?MARVI found out a few interesting things about that Pat wriggly guy. You google his name and his youtube videos pop up. This guy is suppose to be some kind of musician. Marv flushes the toilet and gets up with a piece of long tissue stuck between his butt cheeks.MARVHe gets over a million views on anything he puts up. The songs are halfway funny and somewhat catchy. He just has a hell of a fan base. RYAN(curious) What’s one of his songs?MarvHe’s got one called Oreo Rap. It’s ok but, get this apparently he still lives with his mom so he can’t be that big of a internet sensation. RYANHow old is his guy?MARVHis profile said twenty nine. RYANThirty and still living at home, this guy sounds like a loser. I wonder what Melissa see’s in him. MARVHe seems to have a loyal fan base. Some woman runs a fan space for him on the web. I contacted her and she’s his mom. Apparently she lives with him as a maid he even pays her to clean up after him.Ryan scoffs and the two share a brief laugh.RYANHe sounds like an ass. MARV Bottom line he’s got no talent. He’s just some over night youtube hot shot. Ryan looks at his toes and shakes his head as he tries to forget his odd dream. Marv is on the other line trying to clip his long black nails.MARVYour the number one foot model in NYC, so don’t worry about that guy you will be Melissa’s pants by the end of the week. RYANI don’t know what if she really cares about this guy?MARVI don’t think so. He lives at home still. She obviously can’t love this guy. Marv squeezes extremely hard on the clippers causing a nail to pop off and hit the wall. He puts out his cigarette and lights another. Ryan gets up and opens his fridge then grabs a box of Chinese food left overs. MARVListen Melissa’s agent owes me a few favors. Let me get on the phone and see if I can’t get you guys together on another shoot. RYANThis time without my brother there and try and get a photographer that doesn't want her to strip. MARV(defensive)Hey! Ralf is an artist it’s not my fault that the bitch is a prude.RYAN(offended)Hey watch out. Your idea of a woman lives under your bed and requires lotion and air.MARVI might take offense to that if I didn't have Shelly to keep me warm at night.RYAN(concerned)How is Shelly?MARVShe is visiting her parents but, she will be back in a week. Marv swallows a gulp of whiskey and pushes a blow up doll on his floor under his bed.MARVI’m sorry your brother has gotten so popular. I’m doing all I can to rep your name in this city. I’ll do my best to get the two of you together just don’t get pissed if your game is a little rusty.RAYNYou know you are more than an agent, your a close friend. My brother may have left you but, I know sticking with you was the right thing to do and it will pay off. Marv feeds a small turtle in a bowl in the corner of his room. The split screen ends and it is just Marv making a bowl of beer cereal.MARVListen, while you wait for this thing with Melissa to work out you need to at least get some kind of a slump buster. There has got to be some lonely house wife you can break off a piece of cookie for. RYANI can handle Melissa I just need to get Deen out of the picture. Marv sprinkles food in the turtle bowl. He then holds the turtle in his hand and blows smoke in it’s face. MARVWhat’s wrong with you? Your not eating. RYANWhat?MARVOh, nothing. Listen, I think I have an idea to take Deen out of the picture. Or his foot rather. RYANGo ahead I’m listening.MARVHis birthday is coming up. Marv sets the turtle down on is table and props his foot up and begins to clip his long black toe nails again. His feet are miraculously grotesque. MARVWhy don’t you just repackage my toe nail grooming kit. If he uses it without proper sterilization it would take his toes out of the picture for a good bit. Ryan holds his chin and looks up in deep thought as Marv cringes to clip his fungus ridden black nails. After snapping a nail off he takes the clippers and blows gently then hacks and coughs on them.RYANThat actually sounds like a thoughtful idea. MARVI’ll bring you the gift tomorrow. I’ll have it wrapped so give it to him as soon as you can. Ryan grabs the remote by his chair and turns on the television then begins watching a football game. MARVYou want to grab a beer somewhere?RYANI don’t know man those bars got me out of it. I’m pretty sleepy. MARVTake as many as you need I got another prescription. Well, Call me tomorrow.RYANAlright later.MARVOne more thing. I have a friend that might get you a bit of recognition. I’ll dress up like a mugger and let you kick my ass. RYANI don’t know what if she calls the cops. MARVYour thinking about it too much. Just trust me.Ryan hangs up the phone and stares at the television. His eyes begin to close as his head sits propped in his hand. INT. -- STADIUM -- NIGHTA large stadium is full of screaming fans on their feet cheering for the team with the ball. The huddle breaks and Ryan walks behind the large line men who jog up to the line of scrimmage. As the big line men get down in their three point stance Ryan gets behind the center. FAN IN THE CROWD(enthusiastically)Hell yeah! I live for this game.He looks to the sideline and watches the cheerleaders shake their pom-poms when his eyes look directly at Melissa who is one of the cheerleaders on the sideline. She looks back at him efficaciously and blows him a kiss. RAYNThis T.D. Is for you.Ryan returns the kiss with a wink. The defense lines up on the offense. A snarling Deen is lined up on the d-line. Deen is huge muscular and bare footed. He drools as he anticipates the ball to snap. RYANDown set hike.Ryan draws back with the ball and is immediately leveled by Deen. Ryan opens his eye and Deen is on top of him with his face mask pressed against Ryan’s. Drool drips from Deen’s mouth to Ryan’s face. A stream of drool dangles from Deen’s lip and lands on Ryan’s face.DEENThere’s always room for one more.When Deen gets up he does a stomping dance and taunts the opposing teams sideline. Ryan struggles to his feet and Deen points at him laughing. DEENYeah baby, I bring that wood. Your going down.Ryan looks over at Melissa who is on the sideline licking her lips and touching her breast. He then looks back at Deen who points at melissa pulling on his crotch. RYANOk, get in here. Ryan pulls his team mates together in a huddle and looks up at them as he takes a knee. RYANYou boys better block this time. I’m going for the touch down. Hell Mary Twenty eight fly on three ready break!Deen squeezes his fist and rubs his hands together as he lines up against Ryan’s offensive line men. DEEN Hey Ryan, your ass is grass.Deen pulls grass out of the field and throws it in the wind. Ryan’s eyes widen as he looks down at Deen who snarls and kicks his foot back like a bull. Ryan places his hands under the center still keeping an eye on Deen. RYANTwo eight! Two eight! Set hit! Hit! Ryan looks at Melissa then back at Deen who’s leg is twitching and foot twisting into the field. RYANHit!The ball is snapped into Ryan’s hands and he pulls back watching his receivers take off down the field. Deen blows by the offensive tackle pumping his arms in a mad dash toward Ryan. DEEN(viciously)Your mine now.Ryan spins around as Deen grabs hold of his Jersey. Deen slips letting go of Ryan then gets up and Charges at him again. This time going full speed with a head full of steam Deen slams into Ryan just as he lets go of the foot ball. RYANAhhh!The two slam to the ground and Ryan lifts up his head.RYAN(hopeful)Come on. Catch it.Both Ryan and Deen look up as the ball sails down field. The ball starts to descend as the receiver jumps above his defenders. Deen and Ryan watch the ball intensely. INT. -- RYAN’S APARTMENT -- NIGHTThe phone RINGS waking Ryan from his slumber. RYANHello.MELISSA (V.O.)Ryan it’s Melissa. I’m not waking you up, am I?RYANNo I was just watching the game. I’m glad you called. Is everything ok?Ryan looks at his watch sitting on the table beside him. Then takes the remote and clicks off the football game on the television.MELISSA(talking over a party in the background)Yeah, you want to come to a party. Your brother Deen’s here he said it would be cool to call you.Melissa hiccups. Ryan gets up from his chair and looks at himself in a bathroom mirror then flips on the light and draws back from his reflection.RYAN(under his breath)Wake up.MELISSAI didn't hear that. Are you sure I didn't wake you up?RYANYeah, yeah I’m golden. Wide awake!MELISSA You didn't answer me. Do you want to come to a party? People in the back ground are talking in loud drunk voices over rap music. Ryan opens the pill bottle and drops another one down his throat then takes a drink of water from the bathroom sink.RYANAbsolutely. Where is it at?EXT. -- NEW YORK STREET -- NIGHTSnow begins to fall as Ryan waves down a cab in front of his apartment. The cab lets Ryan out in front of the apartment and he walks through a door and into a small room next to a wall of mail boxes. Ryan pushes a button next to a speaker.RYANYeah it’s Ryan.PATRICK (V.O.)Who?RYANRyan. Melissa told me to come.PATRICK (V.O.)Ryan, oh yeah the foot model. Come on up.The door buzzes and Ryan opens it then proceeds to walk up the steps. Ryan approaches a door with loud music coming from behind it. He starts to knock on the door but, it suddenly opens before he touches it. Behind the door is a young man with funky dyed and moosed tossed hair. He is wearing a purple robe and holding a drink in his hand. PATRICKHey, come in. Ryan right. RYANYeah.
PATRICKYour brother is so hilarious. I didn't realize you both were foot models that is too cool. Go on in there’s food and drinks so help yourself to whatever. Patrick looks down at Ryan’s shoes. PATRICKIf you don’t mind take your shoes off.RYAN(apprehensive)Sure.Patrick walks away from the door and to a group of people formed in a semi circle around a guy holding a camera. Ryan grabs a beer from a cooler and walks around the party aimlessly. An older woman with an extremely long nose is wearing a bikini and dancing by herself. She stares at Ryan seductively. She lifts her arms and there are white/yellow clumps of deodorant hanging from stray hairs under her arm pits.OLDER WOMANHey baby want to dance with me.RYANNice swim suit but no thanks.There is a fog machine and a large bright projection of lava bubbling on the apartment wall. People are dancing in different corners of the room to the point that the party is broken into several smaller groups. Across the room Ryan spots Deen and Melissa laughing. MELISSARyan come over here. Ryan guzzles down his beer and grabs two more from a cooler beside him. He walks up to the small group were Deen gives him a nod. Melissa gives him a hug.MELISSAYou made it. DEENI’m going to get another drink, Melissa are you good?The tempo of the music changes to a slower more ambient sound as Deen walks up to the group of guys around the camera.MELISSAI’m glad you came. I want you to meet my friends. Ryan this is Jerry.RYANNice to meet you.Jerry, a Neanderthal looking man with a tight shirt, grips Ryan’s hand. The guy is completely wired and has a bit of white powder under his nose.MELISSALast but, not least Cliff.Cliff extends his elbow at Ryan and Ryan shakes his elbow.MELISSACliff is a hand model and Jerry is a back and butt double for all the action stars. Jerry has normal features with the exception of his back and butt which are more muscular than any other part of his body.MELISSADo that thing with your butt Jerry.Jerry turns around and bounces his butt cheeks with vigor as he smiles at Ryan.RYANExcellent.CLIFFSo Melissa tells us your a foot model.RYANIt’s a way to make a living.Cliff stares at Ryan’s feet. JERRYThat must explain the plastic wrap around your feet.RYANYeah it’s sort of like a foot condom. It keeps my booties clean and free from scratches. Deen is by Patrick talking and suddenly moon walks across the floor as the man with the camera to focuses his attention on Deen’s dance moves. Deen throws his jacket on a guys head.CLIFFWe met your brother Deen. He’s a foot model too right?RYANYeah.CLIFFThat’s awesome. I wish my feet looked like that. All I have is my hands. Cliff lifts his hands and they are covered with tight black gloves that go all the way up to his elbow. CLIFFSo, how did you get in the business.Ryan looks over at Melissa who is captivated by Deen’s ability to entertain the crowd. Deen begins freak dancing with the old lady in the swim suit. CLIFFYou know being a body part model.RYANI’ve been doing it for a while now. Ryan looks over at Deen as people begin to gravitate to the crowd watching Deen dance. An older woman dressed as a maid walks out of a room and begins cleaning up a spilt glass of wine. Patrick walks up to were his mother is cleaning the floor and drops a lit cigarette beside the spilt glass of wine.PATRICKMom! Go in your room you are embarrassing me. You can clean up tomorrow.PATRICK’S MOTHERHoney just let my put something down to soak this spill up.Patrick kneels down beside his mother as she scrubs on the floor.PATRICKI said beat it. Go to your room and don’t come out until the party is over.RYANExcuse me.Ryan walks away from the group and up a flight of stairs onto the apartments fire escape. He finishes the beer and drops it on the street below. RYANWhat the hell?Ryan blinks his eyes as he watches a couple begin to make love through a window across the street. The couple looks at Ryan the shuts the blinds.RYANGood night. I should have stayed in bed.The bottle busts and Ryan leans over the balcony as he finishes the other beer in his hand. Ryan BURPS and makes a sour expression. Melissa slowly walks out on to the fire escape. MELISSAHey how’s it going?RYANUhm. Fucking great. Ryan spits and watches it fall. Melissa pulls out a joint and lights it taking a few puffs then passes it to Ryan. Ryan looks at it and takes a long drag. MELISSAEasy it’s not a cigarette.

COPWe better call his closet kin and let them know what condition he’s in.DEENYour talking to him.Deen reaches in his pocket and pulls out his phone. Deen turns around and leans his back against the wall as the cops walk away. He looks back in the emergency room where Marv is laying and a doctor looks at his watch then pulls a sheet over Marv’s head.EXT. -- CONEY ISLAND -- NIGHTRyan walks out of the freak show and looks around as he walks past the rides and watches the happy couples cuddling next to each other. Ryan spots through the corner of his eyes a familiar face selling cotton candy. RYANCindy.

INT. -- DEEN’S APARTMENT -- NIGHTDeen opens the door and his brother Ryan walks in. RYANThis better be worth my time. I was with a chick I met on our way back to my place and you call me saying there has been an emergency... Well what?DEENHave a seat.Ryan takes a seat by the kitchen table and Deen walks up to him then sits beside him.DEENMarv is dead.Ryan looks at Deen with disbelief.RYANYour joking right?DEENI was an overdose he did it on purpose. Apparently Marv was responsible for our parents death. Ryan looks at Deen pissed.DEENHis lawyer came by earlier and handed me this.Deen lifts up a video tape.RYANI’m not going to listen to this bull shit anymore.DEENLike it or not, he’s dead now. It was because of drugs. Apparently Marv has been a secret addict our whole lives. He admits it all on this tape. Ryan pulls out his phone and begins to call Marv. A RING comes from Deen’s pocket. Deen looks at Ryan sadly.DEENI think you better sit down and watch tis with me.RYANWhat are you doing with Marv’s phone? No. Fuck!Ryan turns around and leans against the wall distraught and confused. DEENI was contacted by a lawyer in charge of his will. He wanted us to watch this tape. MARVWell if you are watching this than it’s alright you get to hear my last words. Well, you want to know what’s going on and I’m going to spare you all the bullshit. Marv takes a drink of beer.MARVI’m tanked right now so fuck it, here it goes. I killed your parents when you were younger. I was dark outside and the roads were slick and I was fucked up. I lost control of the wheel and for that I will never forgive myself. You boys didn't have any other close relatives and your father put me a a beneficiary so I decided to take you boys under my wing. I’m sorry I never told you but, I just couldn't.Marv finishes the beer and takes a deep breath.MARVIt seems that lately I’ve just gotten between the two of you and that’s not what I wanted. Hell I’m ashamed of myself. I’m ashamed that I can’t stop using and I feel I’m just rubbing off on you guys and to be honest I can’t live with that. Marv begins to tear up then just snorts loudly and regains his composure. MARVYou boys have done nothing wrong. I just think you two would be better off without me. I found out that I’m sick... real sick and I just can’t stick around to find out it’s going to go down. You know me I always have to call the shots. Enough of this shit. Good bye boys.Marv gets up and walks up to the camera then a prostitute walks into the picture half naked. PROSTITUTEHey, Marvy are you ready to make another movie.The prostitute grabs Marv’s crotch going under his sweat pants.DEENOh god now that’s just gross.Moaning sounds come from the tape and Deen gets up and presses stop on the VCR.RAYNI’ll see you tomorrow.DEENDon’t take this the wrong way but, lately you have just seemed out of it man. I want you to know I’m here for you bro. Deen gets up and walks up to Ryan who is opening the door.DEENListen, we have had our differences in the past. For what I have done wrong I’m sorry. Deen hugs his brother and Ryan gives in crying and gripping his brother around the shoulder tightly and the two hold each other for a good four or five seconds. The two sit down in front of Deen’s television and pop in a tape. As the picture comes on it is Marv adjusting the camera. He looks straight at the lens and then moves back to a table in the center of the shot.INT. -RYAN’S APARTMENT -- NIGHTRyan walks in his rest room and looks at himself in the mirror on his wall. He pulls the mirror open and inside is a medicine cabinet lined with pill bottles. He opens a pill bottle and walks over to the toilet then pours the pills in it and repeats the process until all the pill bottle are empty and thrown in the trash. EXT. -- NEW YORK STREET -- MORNINGRyan walks out of his apartment wearing sweats. He looks around his street and takes off jogging. A Bum sitting on the cement ground watches Ryan run down the street. Ryan turns back to take a second look at the bum then continues on his path.
