INT. BLACKSPACE
A confined space with black walls and black floors. All
around the room are various THEAs. Some are bouncing around
in delight. Some are lazing around. Some are angrily
shouting. Different versions of Thea inhabiting the same
space with different props and accessories to accompany
them. Like an embodied quilt of memories. In the corner
there is something dark and festering, ominous: HOODED
FIGURE. Hooded Figure starts to stand up and move forward
when all the THEAs notice and move forward to hide it, push
it down.
JAMIE(O.S.)
(announcing)
Alright. Let’s take it from scene
one.
The lights turn off. A spotlight opens on an empty spot in
the center of the room. Beat. SUPER: Early Hours, washes
away to a white-colored "Rehearsal" in the blackness.
CUT TO:
INT. REHEARSAL SPACE
We see Jamie in the space.
JAMIE
(as Pyramus)
Think what thou wilt, I am thy
lover’s grace. And like Limander am
I trusty still.
Jamie moves positions.
JAMIE(CONT.)
(as Thisbe)
And I like Helen, till the Fates me
kill.
Jamie moves positions.
JAMIE(CONT.)
(as Pyramus)
Not Shafalus to Procrus was so
true.
JAMIE(CONT.)
(as Thisbe)
As Shafalus to Procrus, I to you.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 2.
JAMIE(CONT.)
(as Pyramus)
Oh, kiss me through the hole of
this vile wall!
JAMIE(CONT.)
(as Thisbe)
I kiss the wall’s face, not your
lips at all.
DELILAH(O.S.)
Hole.
Beat.
JAMIE
What?
We see Delilah, lying down off to the side.
DELILAH
It’s, "I kiss the wall’s hole, not
your lips at all."
Beat. Jamie walks over to Delilah, who also has a script by
her person. He picks it up.
JAMIE
You sure? Why would it be hole? I
could’ve sworn...
DELILAH(O.S.)
Woah, oh my god. Summer flight to
Iceland--only $69.
JAMIE
What?
Delilah is on her phone.
DELILAH
I know, right? If I don’t eat out,
like, five times, then that’s the
same price right there. Ah, but I
love going to FatCat...
JAMIE
You’re on your phone?
DELILAH
Oh. Yeah. You looked like you were
doing your own thing.
(Beat)
(MORE)
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 3.
DELILAH (cont’d)
Do you think the group would wanna
go? I mean, it’s not that
expensive, so--
JAMIE
Delilah, we’re in rehearsal. I was
playing your part as an exercise.
DELILAH
I’m tired of Shakespeare, Jamie.
JAMIE
Who gets tired of Shakespeare?
Delilah shows him her screen. There’s a stopwatch on it. The
running time is somewhere around 5 hours.
JAMIE(CONT.)
What am I looking at?
DELILAH
I started timing how long our
rehearsal’s been.
JAMIE
5 hours is a healthy amount of
time--
DELILAH
I started it 2 hours in. I don’t
wanna live my whole life in this
room, Jamie.
JAMIE
Are you even tired? If you’re not
tired, it doesn’t matter how long
we’ve been rehearsing.
DELILAH
It’s 12:30. And I promised Oz I’d
help him with a film thing at 12.
JAMIE
Why didn’t you say anything?
DELILAH
You seemed like you were on a roll.
Plus. I recorded parts of you
talking to yourself. It’s in group
chat.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 4.
JAMIE
If you’d told me you had a thing, I
wouldn’t have had us spend so long
on Shakespeare.
Delilah looks relieved. Jamie goes over to his bag, gets out
another script.
JAMIE(CONT.)
We should do some runs of the
scenes for our other classes, since
we’re already here.
DELILAH
Ahhh fuck, I forgot we had those
other scenes...Remind me to never
take three acting classes in one
term again. I’m tired. all the
time. Too tired to live my life.
JAMIE
What time’s your first class
tomorrow?
DELILAH
Well, 2, but...
JAMIE
Then we’re good, right? Oz will
still be awake later. After, you
can sleep in.
DELILAH
I’M GONNA DIE IN THIS ROOM.
JAMIE
You’re not gonna die in this room.
We can leave as soon as we’re done
rehearsing.
DELILAH
What time’s your first class
tomorrow?
JAMIE
Class? Oh, I don’t have class
tomorrow. Tomorrow’s what, Friday?
Yeah normally I’d get breakfast
with Thea in the morning. But.
(Pause. Delilah sighs)
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 5.
DELILAH
Which scene. The one where I’m
peeling carrots, or, or the one
where --
JAMIE
The one where you’re a
sadist.
DELILAH
--I’m a sadist.
DELILAH
Okay. Let me just go over my lines
a sec.
While she goes over lines, Jamie goes on his phone. He goes
to group chat. We watch his face while audio of Jamie
rehearsing lines with himself plays out loud.
JAMIE
It’s not that funny.
DELILAH
It’s pretty funny.
Jamie scrolls.
TEXTS
Oz--the one man show strikes again
Charlie--the JAM strikes again
Oz--Who?
Thea--lol oh my god
Thea--that will never catch on,
Charlie
Seeing Thea’s name pulls him out of the rehearsal space. The
camera zooms in on Jamie. He’s quiet, still.
CUT TO:
INT. BLACKSPACE
The room is dimly lit. It’s empty, save for a dark and heavy
presence in the same corner as before, like a black fog. We
hear a growling sound, or a scraping sound--something
ominous.
CUT TO:
6.
INT. REHEARSAL SPACE
Back on Jamie. Hands start to pull toward his face from
behind. Right when they’re about to grab him--
DELILAH
I’m ready.
Jamie looks up, and the hands instantly pull away. He stands
up.
JAMIE
Let’s take it from "Get back here."
CUT TO:
INT. REHEARSAL SPACE
JAMIE
Kill me, Delilah.
DELILAH
I can’t. I’m too sleepy.
JAMIE
If you don’t, these lines will kill
me.
DELILAH
Relax. We’ll go over it a few more
times, you’ll get the lines. You
always do.
JAMIE
No. It’s over. I’m through. I
peaked my senior year. Right before
the real world.
DELILAH
What’s your code?
JAMIE
1-2-4-0, why?
DELILAH
One sec.
Zoom on Jamie’s face.
CUT TO:
7.
INT. BLACKSPACE
Exaggerated, memory versions of Charlie, Jamie, and Oz,
their most memorable qualities being emphasized, sit at a
table, eating. Jamie’s scrolling on his phone.
CHARLIE
Let me borrow your phone.
JAMIE
I’m busy.
CHARLIE
pleeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaassss--
JAMIE
If you can guess the code.
Charlie takes the phone and easily inputs the code.
JAMIE
What, how’d you--
OZ
1-1-2-5. November 25. Everyone
knows.
CHARLIE
Sentimentality will get you
nowhere, Cunningham.
JAMIE
Give me that.
He snatches his phone back, goes about changing his
passcode. He looks around for inspiration. A spotlight
shines on a clock on the wall: 12:40. Preoccupied with his
phone, he doesn’t realize that sitting in Charlie’s place is
the HOODED FIGURE.
JAMIE
There. Charlie-proof.
DELILAH(O.S.)
Here.
CUT TO:
8.
INT. REHEARAL
Delilah tosses his phone to him. He catches it.
JAMIE
How’d you get my phone?
DELILAH
You left it over here.
JAMIE
Then what’s this in my pocket?
Jamie pulls a Rubiks Cube out from his pocket. Half-solved.
JAMIE(CONT.)
Huh, weird.
Jamie checks his phone. Delilah’s sent texts to Oz, Charlie,
Sarah.
JAMIE(CONT.)
What’d you text em for?
DELILAH
Asked em to be on book. If we’re
gonna stay here longer, might as
well hang out too.
JAMIE
These are terrible. You sound
nothing like me.
DELILAH
The goal wasn’t to sound like
you...but I thought I did a pretty
good job.
JAMIE
They’re too personal. You didn’t
text Thea?
DELILAH
No, I thought...
Jamie types up a quick, impersonal invitation to Thea. Sends
it.
JAMIE
Nope.
(sees Sarah’s name again)
How’s Sarah doing after the thing?
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 9.
DELILAH
The thing? You mean...her
grandfather dying?
JAMIE
Yeah. That thing.
DELILAH
She’s doing okay. I haven’t seen
much of her.
JAMIE
But you live together.
DELILAH
I get busy, she gets busy. If she
comes, it’ll be good to see her.
Apparently she didn’t know him very
well. Which is lucky.
JAMIE
Her grandfather dying is lucky?
DELILAH
That’s not what I meant.
JAMIE
Whatever, just don’t say that to
Sarah. I wouldn’t want that said to
me after someone I knew died.
DELILAH
Like you’d be much help.
JAMIE
What’s that mean?
DELILAH
Nothing, Jamie.
JAMIE
What, did Thea say something to
you?
DELILAH
What? No. What would she even say?
JAMIE
I don’t know...friends talk. I. Is
she badmouthing me?
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 10.
DELILAH
Jesus. Why don’t you ask her.
JAMIE
...Why do you even wanna go to
Iceland?
DELILAH
I don’t know. It sounds nice. Does
it matter?
JAMIE
I’m just asking.
DELILAH
It just sounds fun. I don’t know.
It might not even be a serious
plan. Maybe I just wanna get away
for a bit? Live my life?
JAMIE
Okay, I--
Knock at the door.
DELILAH
Come in.
Sarah enters.
SARAH
Hi. Sorry, am I interrupting
rehearsal?
DELILAH
No honey you’re fine.I didn’t
expect you to actually be up.
SARAH
I couldn’t sleep. Do you still need
someone to be on-book?
JAMIE
Yeah, that’d be great. Come, sit.
How’re you doing Sarah?
SARAH
I’m doing okay.
JAMIE
Are you handling it okay?
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 11.
SARAH
It?
JAMIE
Yeah...you know. It. Your. Your
grandfather.
SARAH
Oh. Yeah. I didn’t know him very
well, so.
JAMIE
It still must be tough though.
SARAH
Yeah.
Delilah rubs her shoulder, something saying hello without
speaking.
SARAH(CONT.)
Hey.
DELILAH
Hey. Glad you’re doing okay.
SARAH
Thanks. It’s good to see you.
JAMIE
Ready to be on book?
SARAH
Actually, is it alright if I go to
the bathroom first? I ran here to
make sure you were still here
before going.
DELILAH
No problem. I’ll go with you.
Jamie’ll just talk to himself while
we’re gone.
JAMIE
Haha.
SARAH
Chess players play themselves all
the time! No need to be
embarrassed!
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 12.
JAMIE
I’m not embarrassed!
They’re already gone. Jamie gets his script. Looks through
the lines. It’s quiet. He’s mouthing the lines to himself,
practicing. Then he sets the script down. He’s looking
around the room, thinking. We see a swarm of hands gather
behind his head, slowly pulling forward. He is unaware. They
touch his cheek. As he’s about to react, they all surge
forward and pull him back out of frame.
CUT TO:
INT. BLACKSPACE
A confined space with black walls and black floors. In the
center a CHESS PLAYER is at a table, playing chess against
their own self. Suddenly the lights go black. We hear a
thud. It’s dark.
JAMIE
Ow.
A spotlight opens on Jamie. It’s bright. He’s wearing a
different outfit--all black.
JAMIE
Uh, hello?
He walks around, trying to find a switch or something to
turn the damn light off. The spotlight doesn’t follow him.
He’s just wandering around in the room. We hear the jiggling
of a doorknob--he’s found a door, but it won’t open. We hear
him struggle, and eventually give up. Finally he stops.
JAMIE
Helloooooo?
A script is tossed out and lands in the spotlight. We hear
footsteps and eventually see Jamie reenter the spotlight to
look at the script. He picks it up and flips through.
JAMIE
Can I please go?...It’s blank, what
do you want me to--
A script is tossed out again, and lands at his feet. He
realizes his hands are somehow empty. He picks up the new
script, flips through it. There’s a title now: The Purple
Prince.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 13.
JAMIE
Ok. But the lines are still blank.
Can I just go? What do you want me
to--
CUT TO:
INT. BATHROOM
Delilah washing her hands in the sink. We hear a flushing
sound and Sarah joins her. Sarah finishes and turns to go
but notices Delilah is kinda zoning out at the sink.
SARAH
D?
DELILAH
What? Yeah. Yes.
SARAH
You okay?
DELILAH
I’m fine.
SARAH
Ah, I’m sorry.
DELILAH
What for?
SARAH
I don’t know, I realized I haven’t
asked you that in awhile. How
you’re doing?
DELILAH
You have a lot going on.
SARAH
No, yeah. But that’s not a good
excuse. So, how are you doing?
Delilah doesn’t look fine.
DELILAH
Well...how are you doing?
SARAH
Delilah--
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 14.
DELILAH
Losing someone. That’s a lot,
Sarah.
SARAH
I’m handling it.
DELILAH
Yes, and that takes...I would guess
that it’s too much to handle. For
anyone. So don’t worry about me.
Okay?
SARAH
...Sure.
DELILAH
I’ll see you back in there. Give me
a second, okay?
Sarah leaves and Delilah takes a moment at the sink. She’s
breathing.
CUT TO:
INT. BLACKSPACE
Jamie in his Blackspace. He’s still holding a blank script.
JAMIE
Do you want me to improvise?...I
can improvise.
(Beat)
Okay. Uhhh.
(funny voice)
My name’s Jack Hackney, good to
meet you. I sell cars, Kias
specifically, and man do I--
AUDIENCE
Boo.
JAMIE
(as Jack)
Huh? What’s the pro--
AUDIENCE
BOOOOOOOOO
The voice of the Audience is singular, and is droning on.
It’s kinda loud.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 15.
JAMIE
Ah, what the fuck. OKAY okay, I
won’t improvise.
The booing stops. A script is tossed into the spotlight.
Jamie kicks it away and it reappears in the dark from behind
him, sliding to his heels. Jamie sighs. A spotlight opens on
the corner, where a HOODED FIGURE(the dark festering thing
from the beginning) stands.We hear the scraping again.
JAMIE
Oh holy shit.
Jamie stumbles backwards as the Hooded Figure walks toward
him.
SARAH(O.S.)
Jamie?
CUT TO:
INT. REHEARSAL SPACE
Jamie turns to see Sarah reentering. He’s mostly unfazed,
but has to take a quick second to recover.
JAMIE
Hey...Hey. Where’s Delilah?
SARAH
Still in the bathroom.
JAMIE
I’ll get her.
SARAH
I don’t really think--
Jamie is out the doors, rushed, and knocks on the door to
the Women’s Bathroom.
JAMIE
Delilah! Come on! We gotta--
INT. BATHROOM
JAMIE(O.S.)
--get back to rehearsal!
DELILAH
Typical.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 16.
JAMIE(O.S.)
I’m gonna stand here until--
CUT TO:
INT.HALLWAY
As she walks out the bathroom--
JAMIE(O.S.)
--you come out, oh hey.
DELILAH
Jesus, okay. I’m coming.
JAMIE
You okay?
DELILAH
I’m fine. Let’s just.
Rehearse...You okay?
Jamie’s already on his way back.
CUT TO:
INT. REHEARSAL SPACE
Sarah in the back, watching, script in hand. Delilah and
Jamie facing each other.
DELILAH
"But fear and hatred and all the
dirty little instincts one keeps
dark- they’re motives too. So carry
on, Mr. Garcin, and try to be
honest with yourself- for once."
It should be clear--but not exaggerated--that Jamie fumbles
the lines in the following.
JAMIE
"Do I really need you to tell me
that? Day and night I paced my
cell, from the window to the
door... By the end of it I felt as
if I’d given my whole life to
introspection...Finally I thought:
My...death will settle it. If I
face death courageously, I’ll prove
I am no coward."
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 17.
DELILAH
"And how did you face death?"
JAMIE
"...Miserably..." Ugh, could we
just? Shit.
DELILAH
It’s okay.
SARAH
No worries. Wanna hear how you did?
JAMIE
No, I know how I did. Ah. That was
terrible. God. I keep forgetting
the lines. Why can’t I remember the
lines?
DELILAH
It wasn’t that bad.
SARAH
It really wasn’t.
JAMIE
How’s the line go?
SARAH
Which one? The ones you skipped or
the one you ended on?
JAMIE
(groans)
I skipped lines?
DELILAH
Careful Sarah. I think you’re
killing him.
JAMIE
Toss me the script.
SARAH
You’re kinda far, I ca--here.
Sarah just gets up and gives it to him.
JAMIE
Thank you.
As Jamie takes a moment to look over the script.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 18.
DELILAH
Do you mind if I ask his name?
SARAH
Hm? Oh, my grandfather’s?
DELILAH
Yes. If you don’t mind.
SARAH
I don’t. Harold.
DELILAH
Harold. That’s such a...strong
name. Sturdy! It’s a sturdy name.
SARAH
My mom says he called it a
"classic" name.
DELILAH
Oh, was he your mother’s father?
SARAH
Yeah. She’s taking it hard.
DELILAH
I’m sorry to hear that.
SARAH
Yeah. She...after having someone
around for so long, you get used to
that. You forget that they can
just...go, at any time.
JAMIE
Could you guys give me a second?
(Beat)
I’m, I’m sorry. It’s just,
distracting. I’m. Ahhhh. I’ll just
leave the room for a bit, so I can
memorize.
DELILAH
No, no way. You have the room.
Sarah, wanna go on a walk?
SARAH
Sure.
DELILAH
We’ll be back in...what, twenty
minutes enough?
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 19.
JAMIE
That...should be enough.
SARAH
Good luck.
Sarah and Delilah leave. Jamie looks at the script. He looks
at his lines over and over: How did he face his death?
Miserably. Miserably. Miserably. It’s quiet. Hands pull his
face back.
CUT TO:
INT. BLACKSPACE
Jamie lands in the spotlight. A script falls on him from the
ceiling, landing on his stomach with a thud.
JAMIE
OH COME ON.
Jamie furiously flips through the script.
JAMIE
It’s still fucking blank! What do
you want me to do?
Jamie charges into the dark. We hear him jiggling the
doorknob, then banging on the door.
JAMIE(CONT.)
If you let me go, I can memorize
actual lines for an actual play. I
just wanna memorize my lines. I
don’t even have an audience here.
What’s the point?
Jamie returns to the spotlight. He looks at the script. He
tosses the script out into the dark. We hear a thud this
time. A hand enters into the spotlight from the darkness and
places the script on the ground, then offers its
outstretched hand to Jamie. Jamie stares at it. Jamie takes
it, and is suddenly pulled into a new spotlight with
Blackspace Thea. B-Thea guides Jamie in a slow, predictable
dance as they talk. There are occasionally jerky or rough
moments, but even those seem expected.
B-THEA
Always need an audience, huh?
JAMIE
You get it. You sing. You perform.
You do it for the audience.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 20.
B-THEA
Mm, I don’t know Jamie. Doing it
"for" the audience carries some
selflessness with it.
JAMIE
Are you saying I’m not selfless?
B-THEA
I think you have the ability to be
selfless. I just don’t think you
chose to be an actor out of
selflessness.
JAMIE
Gee, and here I was wondering why
you broke up with me.
A hand from the darkness pulls Jamie into a new
spotlight--FIGHTING THEA is there. She guides Jamie in an
aggressive, argumentative dance as they talk.
F-THEA
Always using that wit of yours to
dodge, huh?
JAMIE
Somehow you turn my best traits
into my worst traits.
F-THEA
Trust me, you don’t need my help to
do that. You can’t charm your way
out of a hole, Jamie.
JAMIE
I don’t know, neither of us have
seen me try.
F-THEA
Are you ever not rehearsing?
JAMIE
Do you ever not speak in hyperbole?
I don’t live in rehearsal spaces.
A hand from the darkness pulls Jamie into a new
spotlight--HURT THEA is there. She guides Jamie in a
sensitive, tender dance as they talk.
H-THEA
That’s not what I mean. Throwing
yourself into your scenes. Cracking
(MORE)
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 21.
H-THEA (cont’d)
smartass jokes all the time.
Kicking your ass when you mess up a
line.
JAMIE
What’s the problem?
H-THEA
You can’t charm yourself out of a
hole.
Handed off to a new Thea.
THEA
You can’t work all night just to
avoid bad dreams.
Handed off to a new Thea.
THEA
You can’t hide in a rehearsal room.
Handed off to a new Thea.
THEA
You can’t hide behind people.
JAMIE
Hide behind people?
THEA
Whether it’s your scene partner, or
your character, or the audience,
you can’t hide behind people. Like
you’ve been hiding behind me.
JAMIE
Listen, I know the breakup was
hard--
THEA
(shakes head)
Yes, but that’s not what you’re
hiding from. Not just lately. But
all the time, Jamie.
A spotlight opens on the audience section. Sarah sits there.
JAMIE
...Sarah?
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 22.
THEA
Next to her.
Next to her the Hooded Figure sits. They both sit, waiting
for the performance to start.
THEA
You brought Sarah to your hiding
spot. So you couldn’t pretend it’s
not there for much longer.
Thea hands Jamie a script. He flips through it. The lines
are there. He understands. The lights go black.
LIONGUY(O.S.)
Ladies and gentlemen, the Purple
Prince.
The lights go back on. Jamie, alone, in the spotlight. As he
begins talking, the following is intercut with images of him
delivering the monologue in the spotlight and a slow waltz
between him and Thea where it’s a voiceover.
THEA(O.S.)
And how did you face death?
JAMIE(O.S.)
"Miserably. Rottenly. Oh, it was
only a physical lapse- that might
happen to anyone; I’m not ashamed
of it. Only everything’s been left
in suspense forever. Come here,
Thea. Look at me. I want to feel
someone looking at me while they’re
talking about me on Earth... I like
blue eyes..." I want to feel
someone remember me. A memorable
footnote doesn’t die. A dog-eared
moment in a long life is a life of
its own. What’s the alternative?
Hours wasted in borrowed spaces,
practicing borrowed words with a
borrowed name. Everything borrowed.
Nothing mine. Nothing mine but how
I make the audience feel. That’s
mine. The joy they feel, the
sadness, the thrill--that’s my
space, that I’ve carved out. I want
to live a life worth living. I’m
afraid I won’t. And then I’ll have
a death not worth dying. A smudge
of a life.
Jamie and Thea nearing the end of their dance.
(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 23.
JAMIE
I wasn’t...just using the break-up
to hide from it, you know. It
really has been hard.
THEA
Tell that to her, you dummy.
JAMIE
Right. Right.
THEA
Your audience awaits.
Thea slips into the darkness. The Hooded Figure joins him on
stage.
LIONGUY
Having lost his Blue Princess, the
Purple Prince is confronted with
the Black Dragon.
JAMIE
Hello, Mr. Black Dragon. I’m...not
a knight. I’m not a king. But I
knew I’d have to fight you one day.
Because everyone does. And everyone
loses. You take everyone. And...can
you blame me for being afraid?
That’s...a terrifying fight to head
into. I can’t win with money. I
can’t win with swords. I can’t win
with charm. I...the way to win was
to be remembered. If you beat me,
and my name was still in the air,
that would mean--something. But
that doesn’t sound right anymore. I
don’t know how to win. But I won’t
stay in my castle anymore. I’ll
look for an answer. Outside.
Beat. Audience applauds. Lights all turn on, and Jamie is
alone in the room. He heads toward the door, and the
doorknob opens.
CUT TO:
24.
INT. REHEARSAL SPACE
Jamie.
OZ(O.S.)
Quit it, Charlie.
CHARLIE(O.S.)
What? I wanna make sure he’s not
dead.
We see Charlie’s about to mess with Jamie in some way, who’s
clearly been out of it. Jamie’s startled.
JAMIE
Owah!
CHARLIE
Oh. Hey.
In the room: Delilah, Charlie, Oz, Sarah. Thea.
OZ
I tried to stop him, Jamie.
DELILAH
Yes, he put in a lot of effort in
stopping Charlie. Oh hey, look
Jamie, everyone else came by. See?
I am a convincing you in your
texts.
CHARLIE
No you’re not. I came to get more
details on this whole Iceland
excursion.
SARAH
You okay, Jamie? You seemed really
out of it.
Jamie sees Thea, they look at each other. She gives a small
wave.
JAMIE
I’m good. You guys wanna go on a
late night FatCat run?

Rehearsal

  • 1.
  • 2. INT. BLACKSPACE A confined space with black walls and black floors. All around the room are various THEAs. Some are bouncing around in delight. Some are lazing around. Some are angrily shouting. Different versions of Thea inhabiting the same space with different props and accessories to accompany them. Like an embodied quilt of memories. In the corner there is something dark and festering, ominous: HOODED FIGURE. Hooded Figure starts to stand up and move forward when all the THEAs notice and move forward to hide it, push it down. JAMIE(O.S.) (announcing) Alright. Let’s take it from scene one. The lights turn off. A spotlight opens on an empty spot in the center of the room. Beat. SUPER: Early Hours, washes away to a white-colored "Rehearsal" in the blackness. CUT TO: INT. REHEARSAL SPACE We see Jamie in the space. JAMIE (as Pyramus) Think what thou wilt, I am thy lover’s grace. And like Limander am I trusty still. Jamie moves positions. JAMIE(CONT.) (as Thisbe) And I like Helen, till the Fates me kill. Jamie moves positions. JAMIE(CONT.) (as Pyramus) Not Shafalus to Procrus was so true. JAMIE(CONT.) (as Thisbe) As Shafalus to Procrus, I to you. (CONTINUED)
  • 3. CONTINUED: 2. JAMIE(CONT.) (as Pyramus) Oh, kiss me through the hole of this vile wall! JAMIE(CONT.) (as Thisbe) I kiss the wall’s face, not your lips at all. DELILAH(O.S.) Hole. Beat. JAMIE What? We see Delilah, lying down off to the side. DELILAH It’s, "I kiss the wall’s hole, not your lips at all." Beat. Jamie walks over to Delilah, who also has a script by her person. He picks it up. JAMIE You sure? Why would it be hole? I could’ve sworn... DELILAH(O.S.) Woah, oh my god. Summer flight to Iceland--only $69. JAMIE What? Delilah is on her phone. DELILAH I know, right? If I don’t eat out, like, five times, then that’s the same price right there. Ah, but I love going to FatCat... JAMIE You’re on your phone? DELILAH Oh. Yeah. You looked like you were doing your own thing. (Beat) (MORE) (CONTINUED)
  • 4. CONTINUED: 3. DELILAH (cont’d) Do you think the group would wanna go? I mean, it’s not that expensive, so-- JAMIE Delilah, we’re in rehearsal. I was playing your part as an exercise. DELILAH I’m tired of Shakespeare, Jamie. JAMIE Who gets tired of Shakespeare? Delilah shows him her screen. There’s a stopwatch on it. The running time is somewhere around 5 hours. JAMIE(CONT.) What am I looking at? DELILAH I started timing how long our rehearsal’s been. JAMIE 5 hours is a healthy amount of time-- DELILAH I started it 2 hours in. I don’t wanna live my whole life in this room, Jamie. JAMIE Are you even tired? If you’re not tired, it doesn’t matter how long we’ve been rehearsing. DELILAH It’s 12:30. And I promised Oz I’d help him with a film thing at 12. JAMIE Why didn’t you say anything? DELILAH You seemed like you were on a roll. Plus. I recorded parts of you talking to yourself. It’s in group chat. (CONTINUED)
  • 5. CONTINUED: 4. JAMIE If you’d told me you had a thing, I wouldn’t have had us spend so long on Shakespeare. Delilah looks relieved. Jamie goes over to his bag, gets out another script. JAMIE(CONT.) We should do some runs of the scenes for our other classes, since we’re already here. DELILAH Ahhh fuck, I forgot we had those other scenes...Remind me to never take three acting classes in one term again. I’m tired. all the time. Too tired to live my life. JAMIE What time’s your first class tomorrow? DELILAH Well, 2, but... JAMIE Then we’re good, right? Oz will still be awake later. After, you can sleep in. DELILAH I’M GONNA DIE IN THIS ROOM. JAMIE You’re not gonna die in this room. We can leave as soon as we’re done rehearsing. DELILAH What time’s your first class tomorrow? JAMIE Class? Oh, I don’t have class tomorrow. Tomorrow’s what, Friday? Yeah normally I’d get breakfast with Thea in the morning. But. (Pause. Delilah sighs) (CONTINUED)
  • 6. CONTINUED: 5. DELILAH Which scene. The one where I’m peeling carrots, or, or the one where -- JAMIE The one where you’re a sadist. DELILAH --I’m a sadist. DELILAH Okay. Let me just go over my lines a sec. While she goes over lines, Jamie goes on his phone. He goes to group chat. We watch his face while audio of Jamie rehearsing lines with himself plays out loud. JAMIE It’s not that funny. DELILAH It’s pretty funny. Jamie scrolls. TEXTS Oz--the one man show strikes again Charlie--the JAM strikes again Oz--Who? Thea--lol oh my god Thea--that will never catch on, Charlie Seeing Thea’s name pulls him out of the rehearsal space. The camera zooms in on Jamie. He’s quiet, still. CUT TO: INT. BLACKSPACE The room is dimly lit. It’s empty, save for a dark and heavy presence in the same corner as before, like a black fog. We hear a growling sound, or a scraping sound--something ominous. CUT TO:
  • 7. 6. INT. REHEARSAL SPACE Back on Jamie. Hands start to pull toward his face from behind. Right when they’re about to grab him-- DELILAH I’m ready. Jamie looks up, and the hands instantly pull away. He stands up. JAMIE Let’s take it from "Get back here." CUT TO: INT. REHEARSAL SPACE JAMIE Kill me, Delilah. DELILAH I can’t. I’m too sleepy. JAMIE If you don’t, these lines will kill me. DELILAH Relax. We’ll go over it a few more times, you’ll get the lines. You always do. JAMIE No. It’s over. I’m through. I peaked my senior year. Right before the real world. DELILAH What’s your code? JAMIE 1-2-4-0, why? DELILAH One sec. Zoom on Jamie’s face. CUT TO:
  • 8. 7. INT. BLACKSPACE Exaggerated, memory versions of Charlie, Jamie, and Oz, their most memorable qualities being emphasized, sit at a table, eating. Jamie’s scrolling on his phone. CHARLIE Let me borrow your phone. JAMIE I’m busy. CHARLIE pleeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaassss-- JAMIE If you can guess the code. Charlie takes the phone and easily inputs the code. JAMIE What, how’d you-- OZ 1-1-2-5. November 25. Everyone knows. CHARLIE Sentimentality will get you nowhere, Cunningham. JAMIE Give me that. He snatches his phone back, goes about changing his passcode. He looks around for inspiration. A spotlight shines on a clock on the wall: 12:40. Preoccupied with his phone, he doesn’t realize that sitting in Charlie’s place is the HOODED FIGURE. JAMIE There. Charlie-proof. DELILAH(O.S.) Here. CUT TO:
  • 9. 8. INT. REHEARAL Delilah tosses his phone to him. He catches it. JAMIE How’d you get my phone? DELILAH You left it over here. JAMIE Then what’s this in my pocket? Jamie pulls a Rubiks Cube out from his pocket. Half-solved. JAMIE(CONT.) Huh, weird. Jamie checks his phone. Delilah’s sent texts to Oz, Charlie, Sarah. JAMIE(CONT.) What’d you text em for? DELILAH Asked em to be on book. If we’re gonna stay here longer, might as well hang out too. JAMIE These are terrible. You sound nothing like me. DELILAH The goal wasn’t to sound like you...but I thought I did a pretty good job. JAMIE They’re too personal. You didn’t text Thea? DELILAH No, I thought... Jamie types up a quick, impersonal invitation to Thea. Sends it. JAMIE Nope. (sees Sarah’s name again) How’s Sarah doing after the thing? (CONTINUED)
  • 10. CONTINUED: 9. DELILAH The thing? You mean...her grandfather dying? JAMIE Yeah. That thing. DELILAH She’s doing okay. I haven’t seen much of her. JAMIE But you live together. DELILAH I get busy, she gets busy. If she comes, it’ll be good to see her. Apparently she didn’t know him very well. Which is lucky. JAMIE Her grandfather dying is lucky? DELILAH That’s not what I meant. JAMIE Whatever, just don’t say that to Sarah. I wouldn’t want that said to me after someone I knew died. DELILAH Like you’d be much help. JAMIE What’s that mean? DELILAH Nothing, Jamie. JAMIE What, did Thea say something to you? DELILAH What? No. What would she even say? JAMIE I don’t know...friends talk. I. Is she badmouthing me? (CONTINUED)
  • 11. CONTINUED: 10. DELILAH Jesus. Why don’t you ask her. JAMIE ...Why do you even wanna go to Iceland? DELILAH I don’t know. It sounds nice. Does it matter? JAMIE I’m just asking. DELILAH It just sounds fun. I don’t know. It might not even be a serious plan. Maybe I just wanna get away for a bit? Live my life? JAMIE Okay, I-- Knock at the door. DELILAH Come in. Sarah enters. SARAH Hi. Sorry, am I interrupting rehearsal? DELILAH No honey you’re fine.I didn’t expect you to actually be up. SARAH I couldn’t sleep. Do you still need someone to be on-book? JAMIE Yeah, that’d be great. Come, sit. How’re you doing Sarah? SARAH I’m doing okay. JAMIE Are you handling it okay? (CONTINUED)
  • 12. CONTINUED: 11. SARAH It? JAMIE Yeah...you know. It. Your. Your grandfather. SARAH Oh. Yeah. I didn’t know him very well, so. JAMIE It still must be tough though. SARAH Yeah. Delilah rubs her shoulder, something saying hello without speaking. SARAH(CONT.) Hey. DELILAH Hey. Glad you’re doing okay. SARAH Thanks. It’s good to see you. JAMIE Ready to be on book? SARAH Actually, is it alright if I go to the bathroom first? I ran here to make sure you were still here before going. DELILAH No problem. I’ll go with you. Jamie’ll just talk to himself while we’re gone. JAMIE Haha. SARAH Chess players play themselves all the time! No need to be embarrassed! (CONTINUED)
  • 13. CONTINUED: 12. JAMIE I’m not embarrassed! They’re already gone. Jamie gets his script. Looks through the lines. It’s quiet. He’s mouthing the lines to himself, practicing. Then he sets the script down. He’s looking around the room, thinking. We see a swarm of hands gather behind his head, slowly pulling forward. He is unaware. They touch his cheek. As he’s about to react, they all surge forward and pull him back out of frame. CUT TO: INT. BLACKSPACE A confined space with black walls and black floors. In the center a CHESS PLAYER is at a table, playing chess against their own self. Suddenly the lights go black. We hear a thud. It’s dark. JAMIE Ow. A spotlight opens on Jamie. It’s bright. He’s wearing a different outfit--all black. JAMIE Uh, hello? He walks around, trying to find a switch or something to turn the damn light off. The spotlight doesn’t follow him. He’s just wandering around in the room. We hear the jiggling of a doorknob--he’s found a door, but it won’t open. We hear him struggle, and eventually give up. Finally he stops. JAMIE Helloooooo? A script is tossed out and lands in the spotlight. We hear footsteps and eventually see Jamie reenter the spotlight to look at the script. He picks it up and flips through. JAMIE Can I please go?...It’s blank, what do you want me to-- A script is tossed out again, and lands at his feet. He realizes his hands are somehow empty. He picks up the new script, flips through it. There’s a title now: The Purple Prince. (CONTINUED)
  • 14. CONTINUED: 13. JAMIE Ok. But the lines are still blank. Can I just go? What do you want me to-- CUT TO: INT. BATHROOM Delilah washing her hands in the sink. We hear a flushing sound and Sarah joins her. Sarah finishes and turns to go but notices Delilah is kinda zoning out at the sink. SARAH D? DELILAH What? Yeah. Yes. SARAH You okay? DELILAH I’m fine. SARAH Ah, I’m sorry. DELILAH What for? SARAH I don’t know, I realized I haven’t asked you that in awhile. How you’re doing? DELILAH You have a lot going on. SARAH No, yeah. But that’s not a good excuse. So, how are you doing? Delilah doesn’t look fine. DELILAH Well...how are you doing? SARAH Delilah-- (CONTINUED)
  • 15. CONTINUED: 14. DELILAH Losing someone. That’s a lot, Sarah. SARAH I’m handling it. DELILAH Yes, and that takes...I would guess that it’s too much to handle. For anyone. So don’t worry about me. Okay? SARAH ...Sure. DELILAH I’ll see you back in there. Give me a second, okay? Sarah leaves and Delilah takes a moment at the sink. She’s breathing. CUT TO: INT. BLACKSPACE Jamie in his Blackspace. He’s still holding a blank script. JAMIE Do you want me to improvise?...I can improvise. (Beat) Okay. Uhhh. (funny voice) My name’s Jack Hackney, good to meet you. I sell cars, Kias specifically, and man do I-- AUDIENCE Boo. JAMIE (as Jack) Huh? What’s the pro-- AUDIENCE BOOOOOOOOO The voice of the Audience is singular, and is droning on. It’s kinda loud. (CONTINUED)
  • 16. CONTINUED: 15. JAMIE Ah, what the fuck. OKAY okay, I won’t improvise. The booing stops. A script is tossed into the spotlight. Jamie kicks it away and it reappears in the dark from behind him, sliding to his heels. Jamie sighs. A spotlight opens on the corner, where a HOODED FIGURE(the dark festering thing from the beginning) stands.We hear the scraping again. JAMIE Oh holy shit. Jamie stumbles backwards as the Hooded Figure walks toward him. SARAH(O.S.) Jamie? CUT TO: INT. REHEARSAL SPACE Jamie turns to see Sarah reentering. He’s mostly unfazed, but has to take a quick second to recover. JAMIE Hey...Hey. Where’s Delilah? SARAH Still in the bathroom. JAMIE I’ll get her. SARAH I don’t really think-- Jamie is out the doors, rushed, and knocks on the door to the Women’s Bathroom. JAMIE Delilah! Come on! We gotta-- INT. BATHROOM JAMIE(O.S.) --get back to rehearsal! DELILAH Typical. (CONTINUED)
  • 17. CONTINUED: 16. JAMIE(O.S.) I’m gonna stand here until-- CUT TO: INT.HALLWAY As she walks out the bathroom-- JAMIE(O.S.) --you come out, oh hey. DELILAH Jesus, okay. I’m coming. JAMIE You okay? DELILAH I’m fine. Let’s just. Rehearse...You okay? Jamie’s already on his way back. CUT TO: INT. REHEARSAL SPACE Sarah in the back, watching, script in hand. Delilah and Jamie facing each other. DELILAH "But fear and hatred and all the dirty little instincts one keeps dark- they’re motives too. So carry on, Mr. Garcin, and try to be honest with yourself- for once." It should be clear--but not exaggerated--that Jamie fumbles the lines in the following. JAMIE "Do I really need you to tell me that? Day and night I paced my cell, from the window to the door... By the end of it I felt as if I’d given my whole life to introspection...Finally I thought: My...death will settle it. If I face death courageously, I’ll prove I am no coward." (CONTINUED)
  • 18. CONTINUED: 17. DELILAH "And how did you face death?" JAMIE "...Miserably..." Ugh, could we just? Shit. DELILAH It’s okay. SARAH No worries. Wanna hear how you did? JAMIE No, I know how I did. Ah. That was terrible. God. I keep forgetting the lines. Why can’t I remember the lines? DELILAH It wasn’t that bad. SARAH It really wasn’t. JAMIE How’s the line go? SARAH Which one? The ones you skipped or the one you ended on? JAMIE (groans) I skipped lines? DELILAH Careful Sarah. I think you’re killing him. JAMIE Toss me the script. SARAH You’re kinda far, I ca--here. Sarah just gets up and gives it to him. JAMIE Thank you. As Jamie takes a moment to look over the script. (CONTINUED)
  • 19. CONTINUED: 18. DELILAH Do you mind if I ask his name? SARAH Hm? Oh, my grandfather’s? DELILAH Yes. If you don’t mind. SARAH I don’t. Harold. DELILAH Harold. That’s such a...strong name. Sturdy! It’s a sturdy name. SARAH My mom says he called it a "classic" name. DELILAH Oh, was he your mother’s father? SARAH Yeah. She’s taking it hard. DELILAH I’m sorry to hear that. SARAH Yeah. She...after having someone around for so long, you get used to that. You forget that they can just...go, at any time. JAMIE Could you guys give me a second? (Beat) I’m, I’m sorry. It’s just, distracting. I’m. Ahhhh. I’ll just leave the room for a bit, so I can memorize. DELILAH No, no way. You have the room. Sarah, wanna go on a walk? SARAH Sure. DELILAH We’ll be back in...what, twenty minutes enough? (CONTINUED)
  • 20. CONTINUED: 19. JAMIE That...should be enough. SARAH Good luck. Sarah and Delilah leave. Jamie looks at the script. He looks at his lines over and over: How did he face his death? Miserably. Miserably. Miserably. It’s quiet. Hands pull his face back. CUT TO: INT. BLACKSPACE Jamie lands in the spotlight. A script falls on him from the ceiling, landing on his stomach with a thud. JAMIE OH COME ON. Jamie furiously flips through the script. JAMIE It’s still fucking blank! What do you want me to do? Jamie charges into the dark. We hear him jiggling the doorknob, then banging on the door. JAMIE(CONT.) If you let me go, I can memorize actual lines for an actual play. I just wanna memorize my lines. I don’t even have an audience here. What’s the point? Jamie returns to the spotlight. He looks at the script. He tosses the script out into the dark. We hear a thud this time. A hand enters into the spotlight from the darkness and places the script on the ground, then offers its outstretched hand to Jamie. Jamie stares at it. Jamie takes it, and is suddenly pulled into a new spotlight with Blackspace Thea. B-Thea guides Jamie in a slow, predictable dance as they talk. There are occasionally jerky or rough moments, but even those seem expected. B-THEA Always need an audience, huh? JAMIE You get it. You sing. You perform. You do it for the audience. (CONTINUED)
  • 21. CONTINUED: 20. B-THEA Mm, I don’t know Jamie. Doing it "for" the audience carries some selflessness with it. JAMIE Are you saying I’m not selfless? B-THEA I think you have the ability to be selfless. I just don’t think you chose to be an actor out of selflessness. JAMIE Gee, and here I was wondering why you broke up with me. A hand from the darkness pulls Jamie into a new spotlight--FIGHTING THEA is there. She guides Jamie in an aggressive, argumentative dance as they talk. F-THEA Always using that wit of yours to dodge, huh? JAMIE Somehow you turn my best traits into my worst traits. F-THEA Trust me, you don’t need my help to do that. You can’t charm your way out of a hole, Jamie. JAMIE I don’t know, neither of us have seen me try. F-THEA Are you ever not rehearsing? JAMIE Do you ever not speak in hyperbole? I don’t live in rehearsal spaces. A hand from the darkness pulls Jamie into a new spotlight--HURT THEA is there. She guides Jamie in a sensitive, tender dance as they talk. H-THEA That’s not what I mean. Throwing yourself into your scenes. Cracking (MORE) (CONTINUED)
  • 22. CONTINUED: 21. H-THEA (cont’d) smartass jokes all the time. Kicking your ass when you mess up a line. JAMIE What’s the problem? H-THEA You can’t charm yourself out of a hole. Handed off to a new Thea. THEA You can’t work all night just to avoid bad dreams. Handed off to a new Thea. THEA You can’t hide in a rehearsal room. Handed off to a new Thea. THEA You can’t hide behind people. JAMIE Hide behind people? THEA Whether it’s your scene partner, or your character, or the audience, you can’t hide behind people. Like you’ve been hiding behind me. JAMIE Listen, I know the breakup was hard-- THEA (shakes head) Yes, but that’s not what you’re hiding from. Not just lately. But all the time, Jamie. A spotlight opens on the audience section. Sarah sits there. JAMIE ...Sarah? (CONTINUED)
  • 23. CONTINUED: 22. THEA Next to her. Next to her the Hooded Figure sits. They both sit, waiting for the performance to start. THEA You brought Sarah to your hiding spot. So you couldn’t pretend it’s not there for much longer. Thea hands Jamie a script. He flips through it. The lines are there. He understands. The lights go black. LIONGUY(O.S.) Ladies and gentlemen, the Purple Prince. The lights go back on. Jamie, alone, in the spotlight. As he begins talking, the following is intercut with images of him delivering the monologue in the spotlight and a slow waltz between him and Thea where it’s a voiceover. THEA(O.S.) And how did you face death? JAMIE(O.S.) "Miserably. Rottenly. Oh, it was only a physical lapse- that might happen to anyone; I’m not ashamed of it. Only everything’s been left in suspense forever. Come here, Thea. Look at me. I want to feel someone looking at me while they’re talking about me on Earth... I like blue eyes..." I want to feel someone remember me. A memorable footnote doesn’t die. A dog-eared moment in a long life is a life of its own. What’s the alternative? Hours wasted in borrowed spaces, practicing borrowed words with a borrowed name. Everything borrowed. Nothing mine. Nothing mine but how I make the audience feel. That’s mine. The joy they feel, the sadness, the thrill--that’s my space, that I’ve carved out. I want to live a life worth living. I’m afraid I won’t. And then I’ll have a death not worth dying. A smudge of a life. Jamie and Thea nearing the end of their dance. (CONTINUED)
  • 24. CONTINUED: 23. JAMIE I wasn’t...just using the break-up to hide from it, you know. It really has been hard. THEA Tell that to her, you dummy. JAMIE Right. Right. THEA Your audience awaits. Thea slips into the darkness. The Hooded Figure joins him on stage. LIONGUY Having lost his Blue Princess, the Purple Prince is confronted with the Black Dragon. JAMIE Hello, Mr. Black Dragon. I’m...not a knight. I’m not a king. But I knew I’d have to fight you one day. Because everyone does. And everyone loses. You take everyone. And...can you blame me for being afraid? That’s...a terrifying fight to head into. I can’t win with money. I can’t win with swords. I can’t win with charm. I...the way to win was to be remembered. If you beat me, and my name was still in the air, that would mean--something. But that doesn’t sound right anymore. I don’t know how to win. But I won’t stay in my castle anymore. I’ll look for an answer. Outside. Beat. Audience applauds. Lights all turn on, and Jamie is alone in the room. He heads toward the door, and the doorknob opens. CUT TO:
  • 25. 24. INT. REHEARSAL SPACE Jamie. OZ(O.S.) Quit it, Charlie. CHARLIE(O.S.) What? I wanna make sure he’s not dead. We see Charlie’s about to mess with Jamie in some way, who’s clearly been out of it. Jamie’s startled. JAMIE Owah! CHARLIE Oh. Hey. In the room: Delilah, Charlie, Oz, Sarah. Thea. OZ I tried to stop him, Jamie. DELILAH Yes, he put in a lot of effort in stopping Charlie. Oh hey, look Jamie, everyone else came by. See? I am a convincing you in your texts. CHARLIE No you’re not. I came to get more details on this whole Iceland excursion. SARAH You okay, Jamie? You seemed really out of it. Jamie sees Thea, they look at each other. She gives a small wave. JAMIE I’m good. You guys wanna go on a late night FatCat run?
