Eat, Pray, Fuck


Hey there, crime kids. Happy Friday. It's time once again to take a trip to the dark side, where your most violent fantasies become sins of the flesh, right here, where the hardboiled action is non-stop, at the coolest crime joint in cyberspace ... at That Killing Feeling.

In Chapter 4 of Frankenstein In Love, science genius nerd Frankie Stein fights back against a pair of bullies, then discovers that his dream girl is being physically abused by her boyfriend, so he follows them with a view to rescuing her ...


EXT. ROGER CORMAN HIGH - DAY
School’s out. Students leave the
building like a stream of ants.
Laughing and shouting as they walk.

EXT. SCHOOL PARKING LOT - DAY
Frankie and Josh walk
towards Frankie’s car.

JOSH
But that’s CRAZY.
You can’t do that.
I’ve seen the movie.
It DOESN’T end well.

FRANKIE
Well, I read the book
and seen the movie --
and that’s because he
used body parts
from several people --
but what about reanimating
a whole person?

MALE VOICE (O.C.)
Hey, LOOK. THERE they are.
Don’t ask, don’t SMELL.

Reveal WILLIS GRUBB (18),
big and massive --
and Shayla’s boyfriend,
with his cohort KIRK KIRK, JR. (18),
even bigger.

Jocks Gone Wild.
Staring at them.
Fists clenched.

KIRK
And where are you
two love birds off to?

WILLIS
Wait -- don’t tell me.
They’re gonna Eat, Pray, Fuck.

They both BURST into laughter.
High-five each other.

FRANKIE
I don’t know what the hell
Shayla sees in you,
you swollen steroid.
You don’t DESERVE her.

JOSH
(whispers)
Frankie.

Willis’ face turns red.

WILLIS
I’m gonna fucking KILL you.

Frankie KICKS him in the balls.
Willis keels over in pain.

WILLIS
OW!

KIRK
You little SHIT.

Josh WHIPS OUT pepper spray
and SHOOTS it in Kirk’s eyes.

KIRK (CONT'D)
(wiping them)
My EYES, my EYES.

And they take TAKE OFF.

EXT. FRANKIE’S VOLKSWAGON BUS - CONTINUOUS
Frankie and Josh pile
into Frankie’s van.
SLAM the doors.

JOSH
I can’t believe you fucking DID that!

FRANKIE
Neither can I!

INT. FRANKIE’S VOLKSWAGON BUS - CONTINUOUS
Frankie JAMS the car into gear.
Josh turns around and looks
out the back window.
Sees something.

JOSH
Wait. Don’t go. Hold on a sec.

FRANKIE
Are you fucking crazy?

He starts pulling out of his parking space.

JOSH
WAIT. It’s Shayla.

FRANKIE
What?

Frankie turns around. Looks.

EXT. SCHOOL PARKING LOT - CONTINUOUS
Willis SLAPS Shayla. GRABS her.
SHOVES her into his pickup truck.

SLAMS the door. PEELS RUBBER
out of the parking lot.

IN FRANKIE’S CAR
He looks at Josh. Open-mouthed.

FRANKIE
The rumors are TRUE.
He DOES hit her.

Frankie HITS THE GAS
and drives toward the exit.

JOSH
What are you DOING?

FRANKIE
What does it look like?
I’m gonna FOLLOW them.

EXT. SUBURBAN STREET - DAY
Frankie’s car follows Willis’
truck down the street.

INT. FRANKIE’S VOLKSWAGON BUS - CONTINUOUS
Josh looks at Frankie.

JOSH
You’re fucking crazy.
What are you gonna do when
you catch up with them?

FRANKIE
(grinning maniacally)
Rescue her.
