When David's Personal Demon Met Jessica's Guardian Angel...

Contest Script

 

Much like the short stories published here, this script was written with similar guidelines. Two days to write a five page script with a specific genre, object, and location. For "When David's Personal Demon...", I was given "romantic comedy" as my genre, a "a mountain bike" as my object", and "a surprise party" for my location. This one was fun. I'll admit that I watched a lot of romantic comedies while writing it ("The Proposal" was the one I watched the most). - CM

 

P.S. I know the text is a little small. It has to be to maintain the formatting on the mobile site. Zoom in the best you can. Sorry, but I'm still figuring out how best to manipulate this website. -CM

          INT. JESSICA'S HOUSE - DAY

 

          BEDROOM

 

          A young man, DAVID (20s), and a young woman, JESSICA (20s),

          lay in a bed on their backs, looking up at the ceiling. Both

          have the nervous look of some one who has made a mistake on

          their face.

 

          On the floor next to the bed, two more people lay next to

          each other. DAMON (early 20s - late 1000s), a demon, and

          ANGIE,(early 20s - late 1000s), an angel, mimic their

          counterparts in the bed.

 

          HALLWAY

 

          The hallway is strewn with balloons and myriad colors of

          confetti.

 

          The bedroom door opens and Jessica and Angie, each wearing

          overly large tee shirts, walk out quickly and directly to

          the bathroom a few steps away from the bedroom.

 

          Angie's shirt barely covers her butt because of the large

          white-feathered wings that are forced under the fabric. Her

          long golden hair does little to help. A golden halo floats

          crookedly above her head.

 

          Through the open bedroom door, David and Damon can be seen.

          Both sit on the edge of the bed, looking confused.

 

                              

 

          INT. COFFEE SHOP - DAY

 

          David and Jessica sit opposite of each other at a large

          wooden table and each have a coffee in front of them.

 

          They chat inaudibly, but their demeanor appears pleasant. 

 

          At the other end of the table, the conversation is no where

          near as cordial.

 

          Angie points her finger at Damon and pokes him several times

          on his naked crimson chest.

 

                              ANGIE

                    You took advantage of me and your

                    a-hole friend took advantage of

                    Jessica...at her surprise party!

                    I'm her guardian angel. I'm not

                    supposed to let things like that

                    happen.

 

                              DAMON

                    As David's personal demon, only I

                    am allowed to call him an asshole.

                    Besides, you're the one that took

                    advantage of me.

 

          Damon licks a finger and runs it along one of his horns.

 

                              DAMON (CONT'D)

                    Wanted a little taste of the dark

                    side, eh?

 

          Angie slaps Damon.

 

          He runs a hand through his jet black mane of hair.

 

                              DAMON

                    Alright, lets go over what happened

                    last night, shall we?

 

          MONTAGE - DAMON'S VERSION OF THE SURPRISE PARTY

 

          -- Jessica and Angie enter the house, PARTY PEOPLE jump out

          and surprise her. Jessica laughs and smiles.

 

          -- David and Jessica hug and smile at each other. Damon

          tries to give Angie a hug, but she shrugs him off.

 

          -- David and Jessica do shots together. Angie sips on a

          glass of wine while Damon sips on a bottle of whiskey. Angie

          looks at Damon slyly.

 

          -- David and Jessica dance together very close and

          intimately; Damon and Angie bump and grind next to them.

          Angie plays with the horns on Damon's head.

 

          -- Angie rides Jessica's mountain bike like a mechanical

          bull seductively lustfully eying Damon. She is clad in

          wrapping paper and wears a gift bow on her head and drinks

          deeply from a bottle of wine. Damon's whiskey bottle is

          empty.

 

          -- David and Jessica kiss slow and passionately in the

          hallway; A bra hits Damon in the face. A naked Angie tackles

          him and they fall to the ground, KISSING LOUD AND SLOPPY.

 

          RETURN TO SCENE

 

          Angie's mouth hangs open.

 

                              ANGIE

                         (shouts)

                    Oh, horse shit!

 

          She blushes and Damon's mouth drops into an open smile.

 

                              ANGIE

                         (whispers)

                    Oh, horse poopy. That is not what

                    happened. This is what happened

                    last night.

 

          MONTAGE - ANGIE'S VERSION OF THE SURPRISE PARTY

 

          -- Jessica enters the house, PARTY PEOPLE jump out and

          surprise her.

 

          -- David and Jessica hug and smile at each other. Angie

          tries to shake Damon's hand, but he rolls his eyes and turns

          his back.

 

          -- David and Jessica do shots together. Angie does a shot,

          as well. Damon pours her another one..and another...and

          another.

 

          --Angie dances by herself, while Damon rides Jessica's

          mountain bike as if it were a stationary bike, causing

          sparks and smoke to fly from the floor a the tires grind

          into nothing.He wears a gift bow over his genitals.

 

          -- David and Jessica dance together very close. A very drunk

          Angie shakes uncontrollably as Damon dances on her in a way

          very reminiscent of a violent dry humping.

 

          -- David and Jessica kiss slow and passionately as they make

          their way into the bedroom; Damon drags an unconscious Angie

          by an ankle into the room and slams the door behind them.

 

          RETURN TO SCENE

 

          Damon shakes his head.

 

                              DAMON

                    Right, so you remember what

                    happened to you after you

                    supposedly blacked out?

 

          Angie opens her mouth the respond, then closes it after

          finding no retort.

 

                              ANGIE

                         (to herself)

                    Shit.

 

          Damon nods.

 

                              ANGIE

                    Dad's going to be so mad at me.

 

          

 

          EXT. JESSICA'S HOUSE - DAY

 

          Later.

 

          David and Jessica talk in front of her front door. Damon and

          Angie behind their respective person.

 

                              DAVID

                    So, I guess we're just closer than

                    ever now.

 

                              JESSICA

                    Yeah, totally. We've got a story.

 

                              DAMON

                         (to Angie)

                    Hey, so do we!

 

          Angie rolls her eyes. Damon looks hurt, but recovers

          quickly.

 

                              DAMON

                    Hey. Ten to one odds they bang

                    again.

 

          Angie looks at David and Jessica. She squints as she thinks.

 

                              ANGIE

                    Twenty to one.

 

                              DAMON

                    Deal.

 

                              DAVID

                    This will never happen again.

 

                              JESSICA

                    Never.

 

          Jessica opens her arms and gives David a hug. It lingers a

          little too long.

 

          David and Jessica pull apart a little and look at each

          other. They kiss softly at first, but then more and more

          passionately.

 

          The two stumble into the house attached at the lips.

 

          Damon gestures sarcastically for Angie to enter first.

 

          INT. JESSICA'S HOUSE -DAY

 

          HALLWAY

 

          SOUNDS OF PASSIONATE LOVEMAKING are muffled by the closed

          door of Jessica's room.

 

          Angie and Damon stand on opposite sides of the door frame.

          Damon has his ear pressed against the wall, listening. He

          now wears a birthday hat over one of his horns.

 

          He looks at Angie and straightens up. She's blushing.

 

                              DAMON

                    You alright?

 

          Damon cocks his head as he notices Angie getting redder.

 

                              ANGIE

                    Damon, do you find me attractive?

 

          His eyes widen. He smiles.

 

                              DAMON

                    Sexy as hell is how I'd put it.

 

          Angie smiles broadly. She slides herself out of her gown and

          stands naked in front of Damon. A mischievous twinkle dances

          in her eyes.

 

                              ANGIE

                    Good. That's what I wanted to hear.

 

          In one fluid motion, she jumps onto Damon and begins to kiss

          him furiously as they fall to the ground together.

 

                              ANGIE (O.S.)

                    This will never happen again,

                    right?

 

                              DAMON (O.S.)

                    No, never again. Oh, God!

 

          The SLOPPY KISSING continues.

 

                                                                                CUT TO BLACK
