ACT 2:(Truth hurts… accept it)

rosemary (o.s.)

I’ve been telling you people. You seem not to respect or listen to me anytime I speak…

INT. HOSTEL’S LIVING ROOM – DAY

SHOT ON: ROSEMARY

ROSEMARY is seen standing at the door to the living room.

She is disfigured lady. Big boobs and ass, half of her face burnt up. She covers it up with her hair to look cool, but she still looks scary and strange. She’s wearing a big shirt tied at the tip, with a jean shorts, looking like boxers, suffocating her thighs in. She is disfigured, not ugly.

(She could look better if she was humble enough. But that is not her character. That is not who she was made)

SHOT ON: ROSEMARY

rosemary (cont’d)

…No one is to come in here to this hostel after 10.00AM. But you never listen.

Why can’t you just follow simple rules?

CUT TO:

BARIMAH, with other characters in the hostel come out into the scene.

SHOT ON: BARIMAH & JOSH

BARIMAH and JOSH walk in.

BARIMAH is carrying a bag. He is okay looking in a red hoodie, and hair seeming combed only at the tips.

Josh has a strap bag behind him. He looks neat and well presented. Hair combed nicely.

SHOT ON: BARIMAH

barimah

Because you’re ugly and we don’t respect you. It’s that simple.

Sichael

Oo, burn.

SHOT ON: JOSH

Josh

BARIMAH, you don’t have to talk to her like that, you know. She’s a lady. And you’re, you’re being a little misogynistic right now.

 

 

 

IN FRAME: BARIMAH AND JOSH

barimah

What?

Josh

Yeah

barimah

You do know I have a mother, right?

Josh

Uhm… yeah?

barimah

How can the truth be misogynistic? Is it because she has a vagina?

FOCUS ON: ROSEMARY

ROSEMARY is embarrassed and ashamed.

SHOT ON: JOSH

josh

Wait, what? No. I mean she’s…

JOSH looks over at ROSEMARY.

BACK TO: ROSEMARY

FOCUS ON: BARIMAH

barimah

Ohh… I get it. You want to hit that.

FOCUS ON: BARIMAH, JOSH AND ROSEMARY

BARIMAH points at ROSEMARY, holding his belly and laughs.

Some of the other characters laugh too.

JOSH looks over at ROSEMARY and back at BARIMAH.

FOCUS ON: JOSH.

JOSH shrivels himself up, looking embarrassed.

josh

Ahhh.

FOCUS ON: BARIMAH

barimah

Oh wow. You do know she's a six-month baby, right? I never knew you had a thing for premature hags.

SHOT ON: ROSEMARY, JOSH AND ROSEMARY

Tears build up in her eyes. She looks down in shame.

BARIMAH said, trying to control his laugh.

josh

That’s not the point.

FOCUS ON: ROSEMARY

Rosemary

Excuse me, what? You can’t talk about me like that okay.

She says with her index finger out, waving it. She is regaining her confidence.

FOCUS ON: GEL

GEL

BARIMAH, that was really mean.

FOCUS ON: BARIMAH AND GEL

BARIMAH looks over at GEL with a dissatisfying face.

barimah

Well, its good to know it’s all already in the past then, isn’t it?

FOCUS ON: JOSH

Josh

Come on man.

 

SHOT ON: BARIMAH

barimah

What, [your dick ticks for her now]? Jesus Christ. Just look at her. Do you want me to lie about what I see? I must tell you. My values are so strong that I can’t compromise just to butter someone up. That is going to make me much more, cruel than Hitler himself. I can’t live with that guilt too, the rest of my life. Scars should be meaningful. I…I…I…I can’t have this on my conscience. (“I can't have this on my conscience”) Simply put, I…I…I…I can’t lie, man. That is just not who I am. And if the truth makes me misogynistic, then I would love to be labelled a misogynist.

He pauses for a moment.

SHOT ON: BARIMAH AND JOSH

barimah (cont’d)

You are always ready to kiss people’s ass so you can be liked. But doesn’t always work as you expect does it.

JOSH looks down in shame, scratching his neck.

FOCUS ON: JOSH

barimah (cont’d)

I mean. I don't blame you. It's what your character is. Come on, Josh. We have a class to be in.

BARIMAH drags JOSH along as he walks away.

He pushes ROSEMARY aside and walks past her, dragging JOSH along.

 

 

FOCUS ON: ROSEMARY

ROSEMARY cries, looking around for someone to console her.

Everyone at the scene walks away.

She looks over at GEL.

SHOT ON: GEL

gel

Ermm…

GEL says nervously.

gel (cont’d)

Sorry, I don’t touch ugly things.

She quickly walks into her room and slammed the door.

FOCUS ON: ROSEMARY’S FACE

ROSEMARY stands with tears on her face.

She looks down in sadness, feeling lonely.

CUT TO BLACK.
