OPENING: BROOKLYN, QUEENS, MANHATTAN

FADE UP

INTRO: BQE NIGHT.

(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXJiWjMP7oM)

Fade up to a POV shot of a car head lights driving thru BQE EXPRESSWAY. Its NIGHT. Car lights flash as cars wiz by each other barley missing each other. The shots transition from beautiful slow motion to frenzied high speed traffic. Jonny Colons - Merencumbe, gives it a dramatic and dangerous air. Like we are entering jungle of concrete. The exotic NYC Skyline enters with a slight pink glow from sunset.

Just as the salsa music hits a crescendo we see JULIAN on his cruiser motorcycle. Gracefully whizzing through traffic. Hes not wearing biker gear, instead wears a silver suit, with cowboy boots. A cocky smile on his face. Not your usual biker.

Julians begins a Woody Allen-esqe monologue. Juxtaposed with visuals of the 3 boroughs:

JULIANBQE, The artery, the track that connects my beloved borough which means donkey in Spanish, or butter in Italian. I digress...

Queens - Dirty, filthy, immigrants...Archie Bunker, the rednecks of NYC. Give me your tired, your poor,Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore, and put them in Queens.This is where your taxi driver comes home to at AM after you forgot to tip him. Where your 5 dollar kebab king sleeps in his one bedroom castle with 5 children. Its all here one 7 train away.

Brooklyn - The dodgers left this place 50 years ago and some pretend they remember or even care. Believe the hype and believe the rent. This is gentrification on steroids.

(MORE)

Streets you couldnt walk down a few years ago now sell condos you could never afford. What a difference a decade makes. Leave it to the yuppies, the wanna-be hipsters, The coked out trendsetters without a clue. Who are quick to take off their rolex to order another caramel machiato. Believe the hype.

Manhattan - ah yes, the big city, the Gran Manzana. Downtown uptown midtown. This aint your town. And dont the name fool you. Man-hattan is a woman. A very bitchy one at that. Shes fickle, fake, and full of herself. She is flashy deceptively beautiful, unattainable. She will use you and abuse you. Take your last dollar and destroy the global economy and leave you wanting more.

This holy trinity makes up my emerald city. My SUAVE CITY. Andthe BQE is my yellow brick road.

And Salsa is my sound track

CUT TO:

SCENE 1 - SALSA CLUB. GENNY ONE PICK UP.

Merencumbe continues playing, now in Descarga. We cut to Salsa dancers. In ecstasy dancing, sweat flying off their faces as they execute dangerous turn patters. The hot colorful lights give them fantastical aura.

JULIAN (V.O.)Memphis has the blues, Calis got swing, but in New York we cook Salsa, hard. Drum slapping, bass thumping, horn blasting. Salsa...

POV shot of Julian is seen as he opens the door and enters the club. Several people say wassup, slap his hand, and are generally happy to see him. Almost like he owns the place. POV continues till we enter DJ booth see JONATHAN with headphones on the laptop.

2.

JULIAN (CONT'D)

JULIAN (CONT'D)Oye! Mariconson!

JONATHANHey yo what up playa.

JULIANWhats crackalakin.

JONATHANMan its a good night. Not bad for a Monday.

JULIANWhat do we got tonight

JONATHANAs far as girls. Not much. Couple of older chicks some couples. But take a look at that.

POV as Julian scans the room.

JULIANSalsa often gets diverse crowd. You got your salsaholics, sweaty non stop dancing, every night of the week. You got awkward couples trying to rekindle their relationships. Also there are the chubby white girls pack dancing in circle looking around self consciously. And of course the old Papi chulos looking to feel up and impress the chubby white girls.

Jonathan points to GENNY standing at the bar with LIZA. Genny with cinnamon skin and tight body is dancing and talking to her friend Liza.

JULIAN (CONT'D)Cono! esta buena. Has anyone approached her yet?

JONATHANA few. But she keeps turning them down.

JULIANHhmmmm...

3.

ROBERTO approaches both Genny and Liza. He gets rejected but is pushy and gets Genny to dance reluctantly. Roberto is Old and Cheesy

JONATHANHa. Too late. You snooze you lose brotha.

JULIAN fuck. I hate that guy.

Genny is digging Robertos moves. Julian is not happy.

JULIAN (CONT'D)You know what time it is.

JONATHANDont doit.

JULIANIts girl snatching time!

JONATHANBro, last time you did a salsa snatch I had to squash the fight.

JULIANDont worry Im a professional. You got Lavoe- para Ochun?

JONATHANYea.

JULIANMix that in.

JONATHANI dont think Ochuns gonna help.

JULIANHere take the camera.

Julian makes his way around and studies Robertos moves. Jonathan zooms and pans and nararates like BBC documentary.

JONATHAN (narrates with fake British BBC accent)

Here we have the young male circling his prey. It is mating season in Brooklyn.

4.

He circles them. At the right moment he cuts in and grabs Genny.

JONATHAN (CONT'D)A Well executed play knocks off his competitor and attaining his mate.

Genny is totally surprised and they both smile and dance. Roberto is Pissed off.

JONATHAN (CONT'D)However in the jungle, competition for partners can get fierce.

With a little more force Roberto bumps Julian almost knocking him off his feet and gets Genny back. The Duel is on. Roberto gives Julian a I will fuck you up look. Julian Deliberates on what to do next. He suddenly grabs Liza and starts dancing with her, getting her turned on.

JONATHAN (CONT'D)He appears to have set his sights on a more modest prize.

Liza is loving it, But Julian is keeping on eye on Genny. With perfect timing he manages to Spin Liza into Robertos arms and snatches Genny.

JONATHAN (CONT'D)A red herring! He trades off obstacle to his competitor and wins the prize. Good show!

Liza is all over Roberto. Genny and Julian dance romantically and ends the song with a dramatic dip and kiss.

CUT TO:

INT. SALSA CLUB. LATER THAT NIGHT.

Julian is at the bar talking to Genny, they are in their own bubble

JULIANWord, I live in Corona.

GENNYOh Shit were neighbors...

5.

JULIANIll you give a ride home. You shouldnt take the subway at this time of night

GENNYUh. I dont know. I mean I have my friend Liza.

Liza is still dancing with Roberto. She is all over him but he looks bored.

JULIANI think shell be fine. Come on lets go.

GENNYWell... OK ...

CUT TO:

EXT. ON BQE RIDING.

Julian is on his bike like a cowboy carrying Genny. Jonathans British V.O. Continues

JONATHAN (V.O.)Here the young male carries his prize back to his nest. However he is not out of the woods yet. The female of the species will always put up a bit of last minute resistance.

CUT TO:

EXT. OUTSIDE JULIANS HOUSE.

Julian parks right in front of his house. And non chalantly leads her towards his door.

GENNYWhow, whow, hold up. Where is this.

JULIANJust need to stop here for a bit,

GENNYOk Ill wait outside.

6.

JULIANJust come in for minute

GENNYI ... I cant

JULIANCome on one minute. I want you to meet my dog.

GENNYIm not interested in meeting dogs at this time of night.

Julian comes in a kisses her softly. Then on her neck. She is turned on.

JULIANCome on real quick.

GENNYQuick. You promise?

JULIANI promise

He gives her a salsa spin and then leads her to his door.

FADE TO BLACK.

JULIANS BEDROOM - HIDDEN CAMERA

A black and white night vision camera catches some of the action of Genny and Julian having sex. The video is grainy and we can see only when one is on top. Julian smiles and looks at the camera several times. Hes an exhibitionist.As the images blend together of their sex, the dialogue from later on is layed over the montage. They whisper intimately.

GENNYYou know I don't do this

JULIANDo what

GENNYThis

JULIANIts OK

7.

GENNYI take it you do

JULIANSometimes..I felt really comfortable with you

DEBORAYea me too.

JULIANI mean from the moment I saw you It was like in the movies. When you pass by I saw you and I thought. I want her. I know her. Was it like this for you?

GENNYi like the way you held me when we danced. i haven't felt like that in a long time.

They kiss softly. She starts to cry.

JULIANHey... shhhh.. Its ok...

GENNYIm sorry.

JULIANIts alright.

JULIANHey look its ok. Were adults these things happen

JULIANIts ok. Its not a big deal.

8.

GENNYMy family would kill me. If they knew about this.

JULIANHey its alright. You wanna go home now?

GENNYNo. I mean just hold me a little while longer.

Julian hugs her and looks at the camera gives an oh shit look, and smiles.

FADE OUT:

SCENE 2: BREAKFAST WITH FAMILY

JULIAN IS EATING CEREAL DRESSED IN A RED BATHROBE (HUGH HEFFNER) HIS LONG HAIR DISHEVELED. HIS FATHER JOINS HIM AND BEGINS SERVING THEM. JULIANS PARENTS HAVE THICK SPANISH ACCENTS.

CUT TO:

JULIANS STUDIO

Danny is sitting on a stool against a brick backdrop. Julian fixes the cameras focus and gets behind. He is not seen, only heard.

DANNYLook man I really dont wanna do this.

JULIANHold on, let see.

DANNYYet hes forcing me. (sigh) alright.

JULIANTell us about yourself..

DANNYDanny Suarez, 38, stock broker, and recently separated.

16.

JULIANTell us about that.

DANNYI had been married for 4 years to what I thought was the love of my life, Patricia and it really sucks. But hey that's how it goes.

JULIANDo you still believe in love?

DANNYMan I dont know... Id like to think that maybe there is. But right now I dont want to talk about it.

JULIANWhy do you think your marriage ended with Patricia?

DANNYGuess I dont know. I thought it was ok. You know the sex had kind of died down. About a year ago.

JULIANYou think shes seeing someone else?

DANNYYea probably. Who the fuck knows. Its done. I dont care really. I got cau---

JULIANWhich -- sorry go ahead.

DANNYNo I was just gonna say, I think I got caught up in the physical. And That's a mistake. Because, its all fake. And in Patricias case it literally was. You need to find someone youll be compatible with in the long term. Because all that hotness... It doesnt last.

JULIANDo you think youll marry again?

17.

DANNYI cant answer that now. I mean... Yes. I think ideally, I still want to believe in the sanctity... let me rephrase that. Theres a lot of pluses to being married. Building a life together. And starting a family. I want to find someone who I can do that with . But it seems harder and harder to find that, amongst all the cynicism that's out there. But Im still willing to give it shot. To find that.

JULIANSo you hear that ladies, Danny is successful and single, his number is 347-968-...

DANNYPlease dont say my number, I dont need stalkers. I can find women on my own.

JULIANHow

DANNYHow? Look I know what you do with your pick-up lines ...

JULIANI told you we dont use pickup lines.

DANNYWhat ever, thats just not me. Im not a club guy.

JULIANIt doesnt have to be bar or club, you can meet women during the day.

DANNYSee that I like.

JULIANBut in a bar or lounge you can get a lot of practice. That's how you get skills to pickup a woman anywhere

18.

DANNYIm not looking to be a pimp or player.

JULIANCome on man, what does pimping or playing got to do. These are just terms society throws around to make men feel trapped.

DANNYWhatever man

JULIANIm not a pimp

DANNYFine

JULIANIm poly amorous.

DANNYOk polyamourous.

JULIANLet go out tonight.

DANNYNo

JULIANPlease

DANNYJulian, you know I dont like that scene.

JULIANScene? You act like its some cult. come on

DANNYNo dude, Im not coming.

JULIANYour coming

DANNYIm not coming.

JULIANYoure coming bro.

19.

DANNYNo Im not.

CUT TO:

230 5TH AVE ROOFTOP BAR. NIGHT.

Quick montage of the rooftop bar over looking manhattan, see groups of people dressing fancy, holding martinis. Julian is sitting at the end of one of the couches with 4 students including Danny crowded around him and Jonathan to his left. He is conducting a seminar. Jonathan and Ingrid are flanked on both sides of him.

JULIANThis aint a fucking movie. The hero doesnt get the girl. There is no glass slipper. Disney is dead. This is war gentlemen. The nightclub, the lounge, the bar, this is your battlefield. Women are not the enemy they are the bounty. Your not fighting women, your fighting yourselves. Your own insecurity, your past as wimp, a sissy, a coward. You are your own worst enemy. Always have been. Youve been self sabotaging yourself with excusitis. That whiny bitch voice in your head Im too scared. I cant doit. I want you all to grab your balls. Do it. There you feel that? You know what that means? That means your a fucking man. Like your father before you and his father and greatest fucking grandfather, all down the line had one thing in common. They fucked women. If they didnt you would not be here. You it to them tonight to stand up and be a man.

JULIAN (CONT'D)That's not all. You owe it to the women too. I hear women all around me saying, pleading with me, where are the real men! They dont want the sissies, the oh, can I please buy you a drink, please. Can you please take my balls please, I have no use for them NO!

20.

(MORE)

The want real, true men! And we are not going to let them down. We are not going to let them go home tonight alone, lonely, bored. We need to give them what they WANT, your cocks. OK. Does everyone have their cheat sheets? Good... if you run out of things to say just pull it out non chalantley and continue talking. John demonstrate.

JOHNATHANLadies, you notice how a guy... bla bla bla .

John pulls out his sheet, pauses reads. Then puts back in his pocket and continues.

JONATHAN Oh that reminds me, who lies more men or women?

JULIANYou see, simple, you control the conversation all costs. Lead, lead, lead. Show dominance and directness. Tim let me hear your opener.

TIM(shy)

My opener, now?

JULIANYes, go.

TIMUm. Hello my name is Tim, how is it going this evening.

JULIANGood, good smile, good eye contact. Poised. A little slower perhaps. But over all very good. George, how about you.

GEORGEIm gonna go with an opinion opener at first. Is that ok?

JULIANSure, whatever crutch you need, just dont get hooked on it. Let me here it, go.

21.

JULIAN (CONT'D)

GEORGEHey guys, check this out. Me and my mate were having a discussion and we wanted to get a female perspective. Is kissing cheating?

JULIANAha! The old kiss cheating. I like it, good. Good smile, just dont get stuck to it.

INGRIDYou know that's a good opener to find out if a woman is Bisexual.

JULIAN True it can go many different directions that opener. But for now you can just do the banter we practiced.

INGRID If you feel like you have a possible bisexual feel free to consult with me.

JULIANshes an expert in that.

INGRID Thanks, and Ill be around Ill pop in and out to give you social proof when ever possible.

JULIANAnd you Danny.

DANNYAy ay captain.

JULIANFor those of you who dont know Danny is my older brother. We need to congratulate him on his recent divorce (clap) and return to the brotherhood.

DANNYYes I hope I can up hold the standards of The Pussy club.

22.

(MORE)

And I know the first rule of pussy club is you do not talk about pussy club.

JULIANFor tonight just watch and wing some of the guys. I know this is new to you so I dont want you to get hurt.

DANNYDont worry Im wearing a cup.

JULIANIts a good night gentlemen. I can smell it in the air. Cheap perfume, overpriced drinks, and moist vaginas. Hands together. ATTRACTION...!

ALL IS NOT A CHOICE!

JULIANMAKE THE HO...

ALLSAY NO!

JULIANGo make me proud.

The three men disperse into the crowd. Their previous nervous look now replaced with determined looks.

DANNYThat was beautiful man, almost brought a tear to my eye. I especially like the moist vagina.

JULIANOk Im seeing two girls, ones about 7ish the other a 9.

DANNYok, that makes them 16, do I fold or should I find a 6 to make 21.

JULIANIf you not gonna take this fucking serious just go home. Bro, this is my job, I take this shit seriously

23.

DANNY (CONT'D)

DANNYIm sorry bro, Im sorry I cant help it.

JULIANLook Im trying to help you. Youve been out of the game for four years and before that you were always the most pussy whipped mother fucker with your girls. Trust me I know I was there.

DANNYWas I that bad?

JULIANWe both were.

DANNYNo man, come one you always had girlfriends

JULIANBut I never had choice. This is about having choice. Choosing the life you wanna have.

DANNYAnd this is the life you chose?

JULIANYes! I can walk into a club and pickup any woman I want. And it doesnt matter how much money I have, how I look, or what car I drive. Looks have nothing to do with it. You have the good looks I dont

DANNYTrue, I did get the good looking genes.

JULIANAnd your smart.

DANNYPeople say I look like Rob Lowe. Your smart too, but your street smart.

24.

JULIANExactly. Its time you got a street education Mr. Wall street. Alright, you see them. I want you to go up and just Hi, My name is Daniel, How are you girls doing this evening.. Go.

DANNYThat's it?

JULIANYea, smile, lean back, talk slow and deliberate. Go.

DANNYWait dont I need a wing.

JULIANYoure hesitating. Hesitation killed the warrior.

DANNYNo but its a 2 set, I need someone to work the cockblock, right?

JULIANJonathan will wing you in a minute, you never approach with your wing it shows fear. GO! Go!

Julian pushes Danny, He opens the two women, and it appears to be going well.

JULIAN (TO THE CAMERA) (CONT'D)Teaching men to pickup women is not easy. But in one night Ive seen total wussbags turn into the biggest pimps with a little help. (looks off camera) Oh fuck...

Danny is being ignored by the two women. He stands nervously not sure what to do. He wants to leave. But Julian motions him to stay and keep going. He tries reengaging but they give him the loser look and walk away. He returns to Julian defeated.

DANNYIm no good at this.

JULIANYes you are

25.

DANNYThose women were bitches. Theyre all bitches.

JULIANStop. Stop. Dont get negative. Woman are not bitches. Theyre just ruthless. They will not put up with bullshit.

DANNYI miss the days when you could just buy a woman. You know like 10 camels and Ill take your daughter.

JULIANOk Bro. Im gonna go in with you. Just hang back and let me do most the talking. Ok Im seeing a bachelorette party. 9oclock

5 women are sitting and laughing. One is the bride to be who is obviously pregnant. Julian doesnt hesitate he walks over and sits right down on an open seat.

JULIAN (CONT'D)Hey Guys, sorry Im late, traffic was a bitch. Did you order without me?

BRIDEYea, we got you a big mac.

JULIANOh... you sure know how to please a man.

BRIDEWell obviously look at me. Im getting MARRIED BITCHES!!!

JULIANWOOO... ladies this is my brother Danny. Sit Danny.

DANNYHi...

JULIANDanny and I are also celebrating. Hes DIVORCED BITCHES!!! WOOOO!!

DANNY DOESN'T JOIN HIM. IT GETS AWKWARD.

JULIAN (CONT'D)Alright. You know the funniest thing happened to me today. I was out walking my poodle. When suddenly ...

Dialoge fades out

DISSOLVE TO:

MONTAGE MOMENTS LATER.

Shots of the four men approaching and talking to women making them laugh, getting hugs and kisses, phone numbers, Make outs. Julian & Ingrid are at the bar with a cute college girl trying to seduce her.

INGRIDYou are so beautiful

COLLEGE GIRLThank you.

INGRIDI really like your lips too. So soft

She reaches to touch her lips and then moves in to kiss her. Julian is pleased. Jonathan comes in and get Julians attention.

JONATHANDude, this is great. Everyone is doing great. George has two women locked-in showing mad social proof. Tims isolated his 4th girl of the night. The guys an animal, might have a future coach on our hands.

JULIANBeautiful. Hows Danny.

JONATHANYour little bro had a rough start. But then I helped him out with that bachelorette party.

27.

(MORE)

He extracted one and has been sitting with her for 30 minutes. Shes a little fat though. Id give her a 6 or 7, But Im picky when it comes to fat chicks.

JULIANAwesome, and Alex? I havent seen him.

ALEXI gotta say for a guy his age hes doing alright. His sets are longer and need to do more physical escalation, but you gotta see hes talking to this smoking hot Latina, Im like wow man, big tities, big butt, bam!

JULIANWord, where she at?

ALEXCheck her out. Gold dress.

Camera pans and zooms to reveal Patricia laughing as she gets her palm read by Alex.

JULIANOh fuck.

JULIANMy brothers ex-wife.

JONATHANOh word? Damn shes hot!

JONATHAN (CONT'D)

(MORE)

If not get the digits and then well take the bootcamp somewhere else.

JONATHANOk, all the guys?

JULIANYea , just text me.

Julian heads straight to where Alex and Patricia are sitting. The camera zooms to catch the action. He stands over them and interrupts.

JULIAN (CONT'D)Excuse me.

PATRICIAOh. Hello.

ALEXJules! I want you to meet Patricia

PATRICIAPleasure to meet you.

JULIANWe already met. Alex we got to go.

ALEXUh , what why?

PATRICIAExcuse me we are having a conversation

JULIANI dont give a fuck what your having, we are outta here.

PATRICIAWhat!

ALEXWhat! Wait, shouldnt I number close

PATRICIAWhat the fuck is your problem

JULIANYour my problem.

29.

JULIAN (CONT'D)

ALEXIs something wrong?

JULIANJust do me a favor go to Jonathan.

PATRICIALook jackass, I dont know who you think you are, but your brother and I are over.

JULIANOk, Fine I dont care, but Alex is a friend. I dont want you messing him up too.

PATRICIALook the one who is about to get messed up is you, you know what. Fuck you and your pussy brother. I dont need this shit.

JULIAN (GRABS HER CLOSE)Danny is here.

PATRICIAHes what?

JULIANHe is here. And if you have nay decency, I need you to leave.

PATRICIAWhy should I leave.

JULIANBecause if you dont, he will get hurt. Hes trying to forget you and meet new women. He still loves you.

PATRICIAHe does.

JULIANYes! That's why you need to do your gold digging else where.

PATRICIAGolddigging is that what you think Im doing?

JULIANWell youre not selling arepas now.

30.

PATRICIALook Julian let me explain something to you. When I came to this country I was determined to make it. Any way any how, as a young Colombian woman there is only so much you can do to make it in this city. And my only asset was my ass and my tits. Im not proud, its not who I am. But when you have to pay the rent, its what you do when you gotta doit. So stripped, and men gave me money. But you dont have to strip in night club you can also strip for men on the street. But its more subtle. You drop your book, you ask for directions and conversation. Bla bla bla you date and then you marry some rich sucker. And now viola I have the green card.

JULIANWell congratuations and you only had to ruin one life to get it

PATRICIALook your brother is nice. I feel bad but at the same time I dont. The same way I used him he was using me. Looking like the successful Wall Street Jackass with BMW and a pretty wife. He got what he wanted for a while. I had to fuck him and pretend I enjoyed it. Now He might be sad but he got everything given to him. I had to work. I had to hustle. and that's something you men will never understand.

Jonathan interrupts.

JONATHANDude, I got everyone we are ready to bounce.

JULIANPatricia just do me a favor sit, play with your phone, just dont let him see you. Please.

31.

PATRICIAFine.
