DANNY (cont'd)

Take it from me, he ain't got no

cold. He's a cook. Look in his

kitchen and you'll find a whole

grocery list of unsavory ingredients.

INT. KITCHEN - NIGHT

TRACK DOWN the kitchen counter on various containers.

DANNY (V.O.)

Drain cleaner, hydrochloric acid,

match heads for red phosphorus,

ether and of course the cold

medicine .. that's for Ephedrene,

soon to become Methedrene

CONTINUE TRACKING to a series of BURNERS, BEAKERS and TUBING

DANNY (cont'd)

This guy's a regular Julia Child.

Problem is, I'll be even Miss Julia

fucks up the bouillabaisse from time to time.

The freaky cook sees something he doesn't like. His eyes widen.

DANNY (cont'd)

Oh-oh.

EXT. TRAILER - NIGHT

As the structure explodes.

INT. PARTY HOUSE - UNKNOWN

Thick blankets and tinfoil taped over the windows.

A huge container of empty beer cans, washed and neatly arranged.

Lines of crystal meth on a mirror as precisely arranged as Nails as the

Nuremberg rally.

A GROUP OF TWEAKERS in the middle of a binge.

Two skinny women, NANCY and Teresa bent over a drawer-full of neatly

folded socks on the living room floor. They stare at the drawer as if

they were pondering a Rembrandt.

NANCY:

It ain't right

TERESA:

You think?

NANCY:

Something's off.

TERESA:

We can do better.

They take the socks out and being rearranging them again.

Three guys squeezed onto a couch together: KUJO, JIMMY THE FINN and

CREEPER. Kujo is talking a blue-streak. He makes Dennis Leary took

mealy-mouthed.

Creeper and Jimmy stare straight ahead, clearly bugging.

KUJO:

So the alphabet, I mean look at it,

there's 26 letters. Why not 27 or 28

or 106? And the vowels: a, e, i, o, u.

What the hell is up with that?

CREEPER:

And sometimes y.

KUJO:

What I'm saying is that I love it!

It's great. I could go on all night about it.

And he does.

KUJO (cont'd)

Let's take every letter individually.

I mean, let's really break the

mother's down.
