| BAD TYMES EXCERPT 3 "The Overdose" by: L. Garcia |
| Interior: House Party-Night We see Payaso moving through a crowd of young gangsters partying in a cloud of marijuana smoke with the DJ music playing loudly. He pushes and shoves towards the restroom until he finally reaches it and sees a long line of people going down the hallway, waiting for their turn to enter the occupied restroom. Julio is at the front of the line. The door opens as Bird exits the restroom. Payaso pushes his way right in without waiting in the line while Julio complains and tries to shove the door back open. JULIO: Don't play, Paya-I've been holding it for half an hour. Payaso just smiles in his face between the crack of the doorway and slams the door shut in Julio's face. PAYASO: (laughing) 'Spensa, ese-But that Taco Bell waits for no man-Just went right through me. With Julios banging on the rest room door, Payaso calmly puts the toilet seat down and sits on top of it. He pulls from his pocket the small package of heroine that Murder fronted him with a spoon, a lighter and a syringe. While Payaso "cooks" his heroine with the spoon and lighter, Julio calls Bird to the restroom door, with a devious smile. Payaso ties a blue bandana around the top half of his arm very tight. JULIO: (joking) Ey, homie-My eyes are burning. Courtesy flush. PAYASO: Give me a minute, ese. Outside the rest room door, Bird picks the lock while Julio continues to bang on the door. Cisco and one of his girls wait nearby with a camera ready to take a picture as soon as the door is opened. All are smiling wide. JULIO: Ey, Paya-Cisco's playing poker out here-He wants to know what's it called when all your cards are the same suit. PAYASO: (fake groans) A flush. CISCO: Why don't you flush some of that shit-The smells creeping up from under the door. ...Payaso laughs as he loads the syringe with the heroine. He slaps his veins until they appear to buldge under the skin and slowly inserts the needle. He quickly mixes the poison with his blood and pushes it into his bloodstream. Bird still struggles picking the lock. BIRD: Almost there, ese. CISCO: You're taking too long. If it was a ranfla, you'd have that shit opened and in the chop shop by now. Close-Payaso's Eyes. Paysos eyes get heavy as he begins to wobble as if he is dizzy. A collage of memories invade his mind. A quick flash of Gina and him hugging each other outside of his house when they were young, just before Flaco came home from school after getting "jumped" by Southside Norwalk. Gina's face flashes quickly with images of his fathers crucifix. A quick flash of him picking Youngster up in his arms and spinning in circles laughing while Flaco takes a picture of them in their house. Close-Payaso's Eyes. His eyes close as his whole body begins to convulse, his mouth foaming. Bird works on the lock until it finally clicks. BIRD: There. Julio opens the door and the girl with Cisco takes a picture with the camera as soon as the door opens. The line of people cheer in excitement. They all laugh. CISCO: (joking, cut short) Damn, ese-You can make an onion cry... Their POV (Point Of View)-Payaso spread out on the floor lifeless with the needle still in his arm.
